Synopsis for "Skin Trade"
Ariadne Pinxit, a tattoo artist who is experimenting with nanotech tattoos, is assaulted on the street after one of her exhibitions. She goes undercover at a tattoo parlor where she uses her nan-ink to illustrate one man's tattoo of a sword. She goes home and activates the nan-ink, and the man is stabbed through the stomach by a suddenly real sword.
While they wait for the result of their DNA tests, Bane is staying at Wayne Manor, and he patrols the streets with Batman. Alfred Pennyworth assures Bruce that his father couldn't have cheated on his mother, and he believes the tests will confirm what they already know.
Bane takes one of Bruce's cars to visit the hospital where the tests are being done. He overhears the doctor selling the information to a journalist.
When he leaves the hospital, Bruce and Dick are waiting for him, and they take him to the site of the man's death. Huntress spies on them from above.
