The Outsiders go on a day trip at the Gotham Zoo, where Rex Mason and Sapphire will meet with Simon Stagg to discuss the upcoming wedding of Rex and Sapphire. Meanwhile, the rest of the Outsiders enjoy a day at the Zoo until the place is attacked by a group of armed mercenaries. Working together, Katana, Black Lightning and Geo-Force stop some of the criminals and save innocent lives while Batman interrogates the crooks and finds out that the responsible for the attack was Simon Stagg's personal assistant, who wanted to murder his boss and claim his empire. When Metamorpho saves Simon from a certain death, Simon finally agrees to let him and his daughter marry, much to Java's dismay. Meanwhile, Halo continues wandering on her own and decides to stop using her powers as she tries to adapt to her new lifestyle as human. While prowling the streets by herself, she stumbles into a friendly man who takes her and many other people to "Eden", the secret place of a cult, whose leader is a man called Brother Abraham.
