Nightwing, now working out of New York City, went after a kidnapper. As he gave chase, he thought about the old days of handing off bad guys to Commissioner Gordon's men. He grabbed the kidnapper and slit the man's throat while the victim (a little girl) watched.
Dick Grayson (with long hair - Nightwing had short) woke up with a woman he'd met the night before. They exchanged pleasantries and first names. She called herself Cheyenne. She made him breakfast, and he left as another man entered the apartment. He roughed her up for having the "plumbing" fixed while in her bath robe. She blasted him with some sort of energy from her hand.
Dick wandered through town looking for a new apartment and was taken aback by the headlines - HERO OR MURDERER? NIGHTWING SEEN IN NYC. As he read through it, Clancy - an old friend from Bludhaven recognized him. They talked, she was now a psychiatrist. She knew the girl he was with as Cheyenne Freemont - a fashion designer.
He found a studio loft before going out after the impostor. While out, he (as Nightwing - now sporting a utility belt and a band around his right thigh) took down a patient trying to get at Clancy. He told her it wasn't him who'd been killing people. After making sure she was safe (and getting an invite to a session), Nightwing got at a brother duo who was roughing up a man. He was taken aback that they were metahuman and tossed from the rooftop.
The other Nightwing caught him.
"The hunt for Harvey Dent is on - but how do you catch a man who now knows more about Gotham than Batman? Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne must make a serious decision about the future of Tim Drake."

Spoiler Alert
A shipment of game consoles and computers was hijacked. Nightwing (Jason) took one of the men at gunpoint. He blew his head off and threw a knife into the throat of another. Nightwing (Dick) appeared and began battling it out with the impostor.
The Pierce brothers watched security camera footage with one of the survivors.
Dick (in costume) visited with Clancy as the Pierce brothers spoke with their "expert." Dick told Clancy about Jason and that he was supposed to be dead - twice. Both believed Jason idolized Dick to an unhealthy extent. Jakob, the Pierce hire, believed the "real" Nightwing had a relationship with the other, and that he was purposely holding back. He was hired to catch the fake in order to trap the real one.
The morning papers ran a cover story on the twin vigilantes. Cheyenne changed gears on her afternoon show - superheroes would be the theme. Dick was asked to model her Nightwing costume. He reluctantly agreed, but flipped out when he was cheered on by Jason Todd during the show. He leapt off the runway at Cheyenne's date. The audience loved it, thinking it was part of the show. Jason threatened Dick's friends were he to take him in.
After Dick quit, Cheyenne went looking for him. Using her powers, she broke into his apartment and found Nightwing leaving through his window. While she watched, Jason called and left a message on his machine describing a crime scene.
Jakob stood above Todd while the real Nightwing went after the robbers. Cheyenne intervened and almost got one of the men killed. She left telling him he could trust her. Dick watched as Jakob (a mind reader) morphed into a monster and attacked Jason.
Spoiler Alert
The metahuman Pierce brothers watched as two Nightwings confronted each other. After firing a few shots, they let them go. Dick and Jason fought it out on a rooftop. Jason continually called him "partner," and told him he knew about the Blockbuster situation. He also knew about Cheyenne. He cut Dick's hand and ran off.
The next morning as Dick doctored his hand, he heard a radio report about the Nightwing sighting - the vigilante had become tops on the NYPD most wanted list. There was even footage of him gunning down a gang banger. He went out to find Cheyenne and ended up mistakenly becoming one of her models. After the shoot, he found her in her office looking at footage of Nightwing (Jason) and sketching his costume. They got cozy in one of her secret rooms.
Later that night, Dick stopped Jason from killing a guy and was spotted by
Cheyenne had to turn down the advances of Barry Pierce as she was introduced to Jason Todd.

The starling conclusion! Who will be left standing when the dust settles?
The story begins with a large storm, the storm from Infinite Crisis. It destroys the home/lab of Arthur Joseph Curry and his father. Arthur is revealed to have been mutated just after birth by his father, this was done to save his life when his mother died and he was born several months premature.
The serum his father gave him made it so that he did not breathe air, but he had gills that would pull the oxygen from water (like fish). He also has many abilities similar to those of Aquaman.
After the destruction of his home, and the tank that he was kept in, he is thrown into the ocean. He swims downward, and eventually hears a voice asking him his name. The voice mistakes him for Aquaman because their first and last names are the same.
The voice tells him where to go, and when he arrives, he sees a battle raging on between a shark-like humanoid (legs and arms like a man, but the head and parts of a shark [fins]), and other sea creatures.
The voice then tells him to give aid, but he says that he can't fight "that monster". But he is revealed to be Nanaue, the King Shark, and he must be saved for the future of the oceanscape.
The two of them fight the sea creatures until Nanaue calls sharks to his aid. Then Nanaue grabs Arthur and pulls him from the fight to save him from the sharks because, "When blood-madness is on them, no one can control them".
The voice leads them to it. It is revealed to be a creature known as, the "Dweller In The Depths". It gives Arthur a set of armor that is similar to that of the original Aquaman (orange shirt, green pants)(because his outfit consists of a pair of shorts). The armor also includes a sword.
