This current was the highway upon which the Dutchmen must sail to make their westings and their landfall on the mysterious coast that still lay veiled out there in the night. This was the gateway through which all must pass who sought to round that wild cape that divided the Ocean of the Indies from the Southern Atlantic. He shouted to his piper, who stood at the ready, ‘Give Sir Francis a tune to remember us by!’ The stirring strains of ‘Farewell to the Isles’ carried across the water to the Lady Edwina, as the Buzzard’s topmast men clambered like monkeys high into the rigging, and loosed the reefs. The Gull’s top-hamper billowed out. The main sail filled with a boom like the discharge of cannon, she heeled eagerly to the south-easter and pressed her shoulder into the next blue swell, bursting it asunder. The Huntress later meets Oracle in person for the first time while rescuing her from a potentially life threatening situation during the "Sensei & Student" storyline. [12] The US government had become aware of the existence of Oracle and formatted a list of suspects to interrogate, one of whom was Barbara. Without any form of due process, two federal agents imply they believe she is the Oracle and that if any evidence is brought to light she will be tried for treason against the United States of America. [13] Once again, Oracle relies on the Huntress when no other allies are available. Cassandra Cain, the second Batgirl, was mentioned in Issue #10 and Red Robin (Tim Drake) wonders why she does not have access to Oracle's new hideout and activities. Barbara explains that she does not see giving out access as a privilege, but as a burden, and Cassandra has enough issues of her own to deal with right now. This also refers to Gail Simone's own efforts to feature Cassandra in at least a guest spot in the series, which she had said was upcoming, but which could not be implemented because of factors at DC Comics.

The Buzzard spread his hands in an expressive gesture of apology. ‘I have little water and am completely out of patience. Sixty-five days are enough for me and my brave fellows. There are slaves and gold for the taking along the Sofala coast.’ His accent was like a Scottish gale.

And now for an epic list of the best books about birds!

As the two ships came within hailing distance the crews swarmed into the rigging and lined the bulwarks to shout ribald banter across the water. Break the Haughty: Happens to Spy Smasher after Oracle gets fed up with her leadership. It starts with Babs beating the crap out of her.

When Cheshire plans on faking her death, she leaves Lady Shiva tied up and gagged inside of a trunk with a bomb. Ironically, Catwoman of all people is the one who rescues her. Self-Made Orphan: Misfit is technically one, though she did it accidentally. When her apartment building caught on fire she tried to "bounce" away with her mother and little brother. That is how she found out that any living thing she bounces with her dies en route. She clings desperately to Barbara Gordon and the Birds of Prey because she needs both a surrogate mother figure and the opportunity to atone for accidentally killing her family.
