Chapter Summaries

Deathstroke gathered Raven, Harley, and Bobo to investigate the snow and planned to ask Lucifer for help, but chose to stop in Gotham for dinner first. Meanwhile, Penguin fled his office after hearing that Deathstroke had broken in.

• Deathstroke tried to call Albera, but Bobo said she was likely still drinking away the money from her last bill.

• Penguin recalled that Batman had attacked him while Batwoman was present, then returned to his office after receiving medical treatment.
• A panicked underling told Penguin that Deathstroke had broken in, so Penguin escaped through a secret passage and boarded a speedboat.

Superman, Green Arrow, and The Flash investigated the appearance of two identical Roys, but found no clear explanation. The Flash asked Deathstroke and Batwoman for help, and Deathstroke suggested asking Wally about the Speed Force incident that had killed Roy.

• The Flash tested both Roys and found identical DNA with no signs of a connection to the Speed Force.
• Martian Manhunter revealed that the Roys shared identical thoughts and memories up to their deaths, while Superman suspected a timeline problem.

• Deathstroke suggested asking Wally whether he had used a special Speed Force technique, while Harley joked that Batwoman could knock him unconscious as treatment.

After Barry left, Deathstroke explained Hypertime to Bobo and Raven, then the group discussed how to investigate the magical snow. As they stepped outside the Iceberg Lounge, Deathstroke sensed hostile beings beneath the snow and prepared everyone for a fight.

• Barry thanked Deathstroke for the meal, agreed to visit Madame Xanadu with Oliver and the two Arsenals, and hurried away.
• Bobo guessed that Deathstroke already knew about the two Roys, and Deathstroke explained his hypothesis that Hypertime contained countless versions of worlds and multiverses.
• Deathstroke told Bobo and Raven that Barry had entered Hypertime before and triggered the Flashpoint Event, whose memory had been erased from nearly everyone.
• Su Ming redirected the conversation toward investigating the magical snowfall, and he and Bobo agreed to begin with places on Earth that naturally had abundant ice and snow.
• After the group finished eating, Su Ming paid for the meal and led everyone outside, where Deathstroke said hostile things had formed beneath the snow and readied Godslayer as a warhammer.

Su Ming and his companions fought ice-and-snow monsters that rapidly reformed after being smashed, and Raven identified them as Undead Constructs rather than ordinary Elemental Creatures. Raven unleashed Trigon-powered magic against the attackers, and the chapter ended as the energy net tightened around them.

• Strangle sensed creatures moving inside the snowbanks, and a group of ice-and-snow monsters leaped out to ambush Su Ming and his companions.

• Su Ming smashed one monster apart with the Godslayer Warhammer, but its pieces merged with the snow and quickly reformed.
• Bobo observed that the monsters revived too quickly to be ordinary Elemental Creatures, and Su Ming asked Raven to try magic.
• Raven released a Trigon-powered energy net that hunted the monsters and drew tight around them.

After Raven helped Deathstroke defeat the ice crystal monsters, Batwoman and Catwoman arrived, and Raven discussed her fears about Trigon and Donna’s concerns about the Titans with Detective Chimp.

• Raven explained Donna’s complicated ties to the Titans and Olympus, and Bobo guessed Deathstroke had already heard their conversation.

Deathstroke and Batman suspected the ice monsters were targeting Batman because of the metals in his body and armor. After examining ice shards and finding they consisted of perfectly pure water, Deathstroke's group set off to investigate above the clouds and then travel to the Arctic.

• Batwoman and Deathstroke discussed the ice monsters, and Deathstroke warned Batman that the attackers might be targeting him.
• Batman suggested the monsters could be drawn to a metal they shared with Deathstroke, handed him a bat-shaped communicator, and left.
• Bobo gave Deathstroke ice shards to examine, and Little Sprout discovered that the ice was made of one hundred percent pure water.
• Bobo explained that perfectly pure water was considered impossible to produce in the Material World.
• Deathstroke turned his cape into a flying carpet and led the group toward the clouds before heading to the Arctic.

Diana and Donna left Paradise Island to join the response to the worldwide snow, while Deathstroke and his companions investigated the strange snowfall at the Arctic crater. The snow had spread to Earth-12 as well, and the cause remained unknown.

• Diana prepared to leave Paradise Island, and Donna joined her after Hippolyta destroyed the island's signal station and restricted access to the Internet.
• Diana contacted the Justice League, and she and Donna traveled through a Boom Tube after Donna suggested finding Deathstroke.
• Deathstroke, Bobo, Raven, and Harley studied the snow appearing from thin air and flew to the Arctic's Unknown Point, where an enormous crater was surrounded by a snow-free ring.
• Batwoman called Harley's communicator and reported that snow had begun falling on Earth-12 too.

Su Ming and his companions investigated a vast crater in the Arctic while clarifying Deathstroke’s vague report about Earth-12. Su Ming decided not to visit that world and began testing the crater’s strangely intact crystals, which he suspected were connected to the case.

• Harley recounted her past encounter with Batwoman and repeated Batwoman’s message to Deathstroke.
• Su Ming explained the differences between Earth-12 and Earth-twelve, and Harley called Batwoman again to confirm that the message concerned Earth-12.
• Bobo suggested that Earth-12 was unlikely to hold the key, and Su Ming agreed that its report was only a routine notification.
• Raven noticed that the crystals had survived the destruction of the Fortress of Solitude and that no snow had gathered in the crater.
• Su Ming struck the crystals with Godslayer, releasing pale violet powder into the wind.

Su Ming contacted Amy Winston to learn about the amethysts she had given Superman, hoping they might explain the supernatural enemies and endless snowfall. Amy revealed that amethyst carried high-level positive energy that harmed undead and evil beings, giving Su Ming a clue about the snow.

• Su Ming asked Raven to contact Amy Winston about the amethysts, and Amy answered from her palace in Gemworld.
• Amy learned about the half-month snowfall on Earth and agreed to help, but Su Ming clarified that he only needed information about her amethysts.

• Amy said amethyst represented high-level positive energy that was especially harmful to undead creatures and evil beings.
• Su Ming concluded that the snowflakes were not pure despite being made of water, and that their nature explained why snow had not accumulated in the Fortress pit.

Diana and Zatanna discussed Hippolyta’s devotion to the Olympian gods, the return of the dead, and the mystery of two identical Roys as Justice League Dark investigated them.

• Deathstroke gave Death an umbrella and asked her to check whether the ice monsters’ souls appeared in her passage; she said they had not.
