Action Comics #877
In "The Sleepers Part 3," Nightwing brings a wounded Flamebird to Lois Lane in Metropolis, where Doctor Hoshi uses her Light-based powers to heal her—drawing the attention of General Lane, who identifies Flamebird as Thara. Meanwhile, Ursa awakens beneath her buried fortress, finds the imprisoned Tor-An, and confronts Nightwing, who discovers Tor-An’s body. As tensions rise, Nightwing is ambushed by missiles from General Lane’s forces, while a mysterious Kryptonian couple robs a bank, hinting at deeper unrest. Written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Sidney Teles, with inks by Sandro Ribeiro, colors by Rod Reis, and letters by Rob Leigh, the cover by Andrew Robinson captures the moment’s intensity.

Ursa unburies herself from the collapsed fortress, shields her eyes, and finds the imprisoned Tor-An. Nightwing brings battered Flamebird to his adopted mother Lois Lane in Metropolis. Lois summons Doctor Hoshi to treat Flamebird, and she uses her Doctor Light powers to help heal her. General Lane detects the outburst, finding out it's at his daughter's residence, and via cameras finds Flamebird on the rooftop. They identify her as Thara. Nightwing catches Lois up to date, and then goes back to the fortress to confront Ursa. He finds a murdered Tor-An. Ursa finds them, admits to killing Tor-An, and they talk. She leaves, as does Nightwing, but he is attacked by missiles from General Lane. Meanwhile, a bank is robbed by a Kryptonian couple.
