Batman suffers a gunshot wound to the stomach from a hallucinating man in Gotham sewers, cauterizing the injury while escaping. He reflects on studying abroad, volunteering in a makeshift Sudanese medical facility where he assisted Frederick Avery in surgery without anesthesia. He also recalls Cassandra, a woman cast out for disguising as a boy, who taught him to control pain for months. After Bruce defended her from harassers using martial arts, she dismissed him, noting his pain drove him forward. Now in a gutter below his penthouse, Batman finds guns in garbage. Butler Alfred arrives to help him out, but Batman refuses, holding the weapons.
