The printer hummed softly as sheet after sheet of paper slid out. Cobblepot picked one up, shook his head, and said, "I knew it. They weren't just planning to hit Brainiac Center—their real target is Gotham's subway."

"Just as expected," Harley said. "The old Brainiac Center building hasn't even been fully demolished yet. Even if something went wrong there, at most it would crush a few people to death. But Gotham's subway affects the livelihoods and jobs of tens of millions. If anything happens, Brainiac won't be able to escape responsibility."

"It looks like they mixed the bomb components into the latest batch of Keel Materials and shipped them to the construction site. But they're clever. We still can't determine where they plan to set them off. Brainiac, can you calculate the most likely location?"

Before Brainiac could speak, Harley, who had been studying the subway map, said, "My guess is here." Her fingertip landed on the exact center of the Gotham map.

"This is it." Pamela turned to Killer Croc and said, "Wait here for me. I should be back soon."

Killer Croc nodded. Pamela pushed open the car door and got out, quickly vanishing through the entrance of a construction site.

"Let's see... it should be this way..."

Pamela gave a light wave of her hand. Vines burst from the ground and knocked over the scaffolding at the entrance. She slipped into the dust-covered subway station entrance.

She had only just descended the stairs to the first junction when she spotted fresh footprints. Brainiac's voice came through her earpiece. "Comparative analysis of the footprints and body type indicates that the person we're looking for is here. Less than forty percent of this section's subway tunnel has been completed. The target should be within six hundred meters of you.
