Synopsis for "Pushback Book 4"
In Star City, Prometheus is in a firefight with the police, when Green Arrow shoots him, forcing him to drop his weapons. Prometheus pulls the arrows out, but collapses. Green Arrow fires what seems to be a killing shot, but Prometheus is pulled out of the way in the nick of time by Hush. A policeman tries to stop him, but Hush throws the cop off the building. Green Arrow fails to catch him with a parachute arrow, and the cop lands on a car far below, dying on impact.
Safely away, Prometheus threatens to shoot Hush unless he explains his actions. Hush diagnoses the extent of Prometheus' injuries and invites him to help his efforts to kill Batman. Prometheus agrees, then collapses. Green Arrow finds Hush as he carries the unconscious Prometheus away and swears he will not leave this city alive. He fires an arrow, causing an explosion.
Batman arrives and sees the carnage left by Hush and Prometheus. Green Arrow calls out Batman for not contacting him when he knew what was going on and blames his refusal to communicate for the cop's death. Batman says this doesn't concern him. Green Arrow gets angry, and shoots at Batman as he's leaving. The two fight. Green Arrow ends the fight by walking away and saying he is going to talk to the cop's family. Batman follows him to the cop's house where he admits Green Arrow was right. He returns to Gotham, and Green Arrow tells the cop's wife and son what happened.
Prometheus wakes up in a motel room after Hush has operated on him to remove the arrows, and Hush gives him his mask back.
