Synopsis for "Fix You"

Alfred administers care to Nightwing's wounds at the Batcave. He recovers, but blames himself for Blockbuster's death. Batman confronts him and forces him to come to terms with his bad judgment calls.

Later, Nightwing tracks down Deathstroke to one of his safe houses. Deathstroke is in the middle of a sparring session with Ravager. Nightwing interrupts the session and warns Rose that her new Kryptonite eye will slowly poison and ultimately kill her. Deathstroke and Nightwing fight some more, until one of Slade's hand grenades tears a hole in the side of the compound. Nightwing leaves.

Later, Dick changes into civilian attire and meets Barbara at the airport. He tells her that he is about to go off to "save the Universe", and then asks her to marry him.
