## Plot for "Hank & Dove"

Dick Grayson digs up Jason's coffin to find it empty.

Hank, Dawn, and Koriand'r meet with Dick in the living room of Wayne Manor to discuss how Jason could possibly be alive. Hank is so upset that he swears to kill Jason if he ever face each other again. Dawn asks Hank to tone it down and Hank walks into the kitchen for a drink. Hank receives a call from Jason on his phone. He sounds frantic which causes Hank to suddenly have sympathy for him. Jason asks Hank to meet up with him, alone, but not to tell anyone. Hank agrees.

Gar is down in the Batcave trying to send a message to Bruce Wayne to inform him that Jason's alive. Both Gar and Conner have a hard time contemplating that they are now going up against one of their former members.

Hank takes a taxi and follows Jason's instructions by covering his tracks. Once Hank arrives at the Gotham City Gym, Jason asks him to take off his clothes to make sure he's not wearing a wire. Once he's completely naked, Jason asks him to jump in the pool and swim to the other side. Finally, Hank has had enough and tells Jason to show himself. Jason attacks Hank from behind.

Hank returns to the Manor with a bomb attached to his heart with the speed of the timer counting down according to Hank's heart rate. The Titans calculate that he has approximately *four* *hours* to live. Suddenly, Dick receives a call from Jason offering to disactivate the bomb if the Titans rob an armored truck and bring him *50 million dollars* in gold bars. Dick refuses and suggests that Dawn try to make Hank as comfortable as she can, to slow down his heart rate, until they can find Jason. Dawn puts Hank in Bruce's bedroom and hooks him up to a heart monitor to track his vitals.

Dick believes that Jason is not acting alone. Someone had to cover up his death. He goes to Arkham Asylum to speak with Jonathan Crane and they both agree that Red Hood may be rebelling against his "father-figure" by using his father's own gadgets. Dick realizes that the bomb may have been made by Wayne Enterprises and accesses the blueprints from the Batcave. Knowing Conner's lightning speed, Dick asks Conner to find a way to dismantle the bomb before it's too late.

Hank and Dawn begin to reconnect while they wait for an update. Dawn refuses to accept the thought of Hank dying.

Kory goes to GCPD and asks Barbara to let her see the security footage from the morgue. They notice a mysterious worker, wearing a ball cap, taking Jason's body bag into the coroners' locker room. The camera in the locker room has been shut off. Four minutes later, the man reemerges, still moving the body bag, but both Kory and Barbara suspect that the bag is now empty. They catch a good glimpse for the man's face.

Dawn brings food up to Hank's room and finds Dick pacing outside the door. Dick explains that he's not ready to talk to Hank yet because he doesn't want to say goodbye. Dawn suggests playing Jason's game and robbing the armored truck. Dick still refuses. A phone call from Kory interrupts their argument. Kory explains to Dick that the man who helped Jason is named Cyrus Beake and he lives at 622 Logan Street. Dick heads to the address.

Dawn decides to take matters into her own hands and robs the armored truck, as Dove. She calls Jason for further instructions.

Gar walks in to check on Hank. Hank assures him that, no matter what happens, he's glad that he came back to the Titans. They are his one true family.

Dick arrives outside Cyrus Beake's apartment only to have Cyrus's body land on his windshield. He receives a call from Jason who tells him to go to 336 West Harbor. On the drive there, Dick feels that now may be the best time to call Hank and say goodbye. Hank admits that he's scared but he knows that Dick is trying to do his best and that he always has. He asks Dick to stop Jason at any cost.

Dove arrives at West Harbor with the gold for Jason. Red Hood shows up and gives Dove a gun. He explains to Dove that the only way to save Hank is to shoot him and the deactivator will be hers. Nightwing arrives and begs Dove not to do it. With only seconds to spare, Dove makes her choice and *pulls the trigger*... but nothing happens. Red Hood smugly admits that the gun was actually *the detonator*.

Conner finally figures out a way to dismantle the bomb. He rushes towards Hank's bedroom just as the bomb goes off. Conner is too late.

Red Hood vanishes, leaving Dove to cry to Nightwing's arms.
