Dick Grayson has returned to Blüdhaven after he succeeded in his mission to dismantle Spyral, with it now in the hands of Tiger who aims to use its influence for good, but it was all too little too late as Spyral succeeded in their plan to bomb Blüdhaven using radioactive college student Chemo. Dick is now attempting to rebuild his city after failing to save it. During this time he also discovers that his old enemy Roland Desmond has been released from prison in his absence. He is also continuing Bette Kane’s training as his sidekick Flamebird while trying to reconnect with adopted daughter Sophia Tevis. During this chaos and confusion there are also many new metahumans appearing in Blüdhaven having gained powers from the radioactivity in the city, one of which being Andre Twist, a college student who has gained pyrokinetic powers and is using them as the vigilante Firebrand to help protect what’s left of Blüdhaven and becomes a friend to Bette and has a strained relationship with Dick, who is trying to conceal his involvement with Spyral out of guilt for not stopping the tragedy.
