Harley Quinn's resurrection became the greatest mystery on Earth on the first day without a god.

The heroes could not explain the miraculous event. They tried to analyze Harley's body with magic and technology, but found her healthier than ever. The wound that had torn her soul apart seemed never to have existed.

In the end, they could only attribute it to the last "miracle" Link had left this world before becoming the Laws of the universe itself.

Harley refused everyone's offers of "help" and "research." She left Wakanda and returned to the place she knew best: Gotham.

But Gotham had changed too.

During Link's reign, that city of crime had once become the safest city in the world. After the universe restarted and the Mind Field vanished, it had become chaotic and filthy again, yet brimming with life.

Harley did not pick up her baseball bat again or put on her Harley Quinn costume. She simply wandered the city's streets like a ghost, searching for something familiar, only to find that everything had changed.

She discovered that she could "hear" strange sounds.

They were not hallucinations or symptoms of schizophrenia. They were something deeper: "whispers" from everything around her.

When she walked through a park, she could "hear" the wind brushing through the leaves. Its sound carried a trace of comfort and a sigh.

When she looked up at the night sky, she could "hear" the stars moving billions of light-years away. Their sound carried a hint of eternal loneliness and watchfulness.

She could even "hear" the silence of the paving stones beneath her feet, the clamor of raindrops, the fear in criminals' hearts, and the prayers in the hearts of the kind.

The whole world was speaking to her in a way she had never experienced before.
