Synopsis: - Wonder Woman, gravely injured, plunges to Earth with the sign of the Tenth Circle attached to her body - clearly an incitement to potentially reckless action. When Crucifer is distracted by an encounter with the minds of his fellow vampires, Nudge attempts to free Faith and in doing so is contacted by Manitou Raven and also earns the trust of Vortex. Inside Manitou's telling stones, the atom is shown an artefact left there many generations ago. The Tenth Circle gather the citizens of the town of Barnes together for a ritual, while Grunt and Nudge escape, back to Key Mordaz. The JLA also arrive there, anxious for answers from the Doom Patrol.
