Synopsis for "History Lesson, Part One: Time to Kill"
Several months ago, scientists from S.T.A.R. Labs involved in a project named "Yesterday", working for the government in examining a crashed satellite which appears to have created a temporal anomaly, were slaughtered by the assassin Cheshire, who suddenly burst through the anomaly. Then a couple of weeks ago, a runestone was discovered which indicated that the Vikings were present in ancient America, a theory long supported by Professor Orenstein.
Now, Black Canary finally meets Oracle in person at the Clock Tower, and the two women get to know each other better face to face. Dinah even learns that she has worked with Oracle before, back when she was still Batgirl. Going outside, the two discuss private things like Dinah dating Dr. Mid-Nite and they also foil a hapless mugger who chooses the wrong pair of women to pick on - he ends up without his gun and without trousers after Dinah and Barbara are finished with him.
Back at Project Yesterday, some confused Vikings arrive through the time anomaly, and officials begin to get concerned, not wanting Cheshire and the Ravens' presence in the past to have a negative impact. They suggest sending in a paramilitary team, but Orenstein has a better idea, showing them a picture of the runestone that was discovered clearly showing a depiction of Black Canary. She is then sent for and discovered just as she and Barbara get back to her apartment ...
