In "No Such Thing As a Free Lunch," a young Daniel discovers the identity of Nite Owl and convinces him to train as a hero. When the original Nite Owl retires, he passes the mantle to Daniel, who soon finds himself drawn into the wider world of costumed vigilantes—forming an uneasy alliance with Rorschach as he learns the true weight of the cowl.
