storyline Jean Paul wandered around New Gotham in the snow and happened upon some men beating a "DeeZee." Without the help of Azrael, Jean Paul was also victimized. When the attackers left, he realized the other man was his old friend, Dr. Brian Bryan. Neither with direction, they went to Dr. Leslie Thompkins, who offered to help them start up a clinic. Batman appeared - he'd purchased an abandoned church for them and requested that Azrael not retire fully. The men who'd attacked them followed Brian back into the church. Azrael scared them off.
