While Starfire and Roy Harper fight among each other, with Professor Hugo Strange (who in the New 52 is Roy's psychologist), and with The Untitled who make a dramatic entrance to break-up Roy's latest session, the Red Hood flees from members of the League of Assassins who are chasing him down (but not for the reason he thinks).
Most of the Kory/Roy/Strange storyline can be ignored. The Hood story is far more interesting as we get the return of Cheshire as well as Lady Shiva and the introduction of the New 52 version of Bronze Tiger (which, like everything else in the New 52 is a pale imitation of the original).
After acquiring Jason Todd, the assassins take him back to 'Eht Alth'Eban, the home of the League of Assassins, where the inform the Hood they don't want him dead. What they actually want is the guy with no memory of how to assassinate anyone (or the hatred which drove him into that life) to become their new leader. Um... okay. I guess intelligence isn't a prerequsite to join the League of Assassins. Hit-and-Miss.
