Realising Harry now knows Helena's most precious secret, Power Girl enquires Helena on what she plans to do about that.

Summary: Picking up where Part 01 left off, Part 02 opens up to Gotham City in complete chaos. The Huntress is struggling to wrap her mind on the thought of every criminal deciding to commit their crimes simultaneously, effectively putting the entire Gotham police force at work. Both Huntress and Power Girl assist with taking down the criminals neighbouring the Acme Engraving Plate Company building, which the police officers are grateful for, but are also unsure if they should be thanking them with the recent DA endorsement to police superheroes. This upsets Power Girl, even if she knows the police officer's heart is 'in the right place.'

Publication Date: December 1980
Available In: Print | Digital

Summary: Part 01 of this narrative opens up with Power Girl confronting Gotham DA Harry Sims at his office following a recent endorsement to police the superhero community. She believes Harry's anti-cape agenda is uncalled for considering the work superheroes have repeatedly done to protect Gotham from dangerous criminals. Harry condescends Power Girl about needing to handle problems in a more 'reasonable' manner, to which she retorts with 'if I didn't have principles, I'd show you five fingers worth of reasonable.' Power Girl is only persuaded to leave with the arrival of the Huntress, who--through a subconscious gesture--accidentally tips Harry off on her identity.

It is then revealed that O'Fallon had been secretly funding Per Degaton's activities over the last couple of years.

Everyone, including Clark Kent (who by this point in his life is editor-in-chief of the Daily Star), are astounded by the fact that the Star printed the story.
