Sunny is the partner of Deathstroke. She went along with him to Gotham City to kill Batman for Lex Luthor then devised a plan to create a situation where he could organically introduce himself to Batman and his allies without drawing any suspicions. She pretended to be a nameless drug dealer offering a cure to Clayface for his condition. Clayface, still desperate for a cure, fell for it and the "antidote" only increased his paranoia and savagery. Sunny anticipated Batman and his allies would no doubt intervene. She was correct. While the battle went on, Sunny stole a Farmer Brown van and timed it to drive by as Deathstroke was saying his goodbyes to Batman. Some time later, after Deathstroke returned to their warehouse hideout, Sunny inquired what Batgirl was like. Deathstroke thought she was headstrong, opinionated, and smart very much like her. Sunny shot a practice dummy then countered she thought not that much. She admitted she couldn't really get a sense of her from the window of a speeding van.
Deathstroke promised they would meet soon enough then complimented her Clayface idea. Deathstroke then brought up the mystery man spying on Batman and his team. Sunny asked if he had any clues. Deathstroke had none but was more than willing to kill him, too, if he got too close. With some knowledge of an incident in Zurich, Deathstroke composed a cover story that he was hired to hunt down Firefly before he caused a 9/11 level event in Gotham City and a sufficient story that the Zurich job left him scarred on his face. He became deadlier and crazier than ever, rebuilding his suit to be stronger than before and with new functions thanks to the terrorist organization Kobra. He also developed an insect obsession and went to target cities early to steal exotic bugs from local zoos and museums.
Sunny pretended to be Firefly in an upgraded suit and attacked the Gotham Natural History Museum while Deathstroke reeled Robin in and sowed discontent. Sunny unleashed Asian Giant Hornets on them and waited. After the hornets were neutralized, Firefly opened fire on them. Firefly speculated Interpol was so afraid of him they hired Deathstroke to snuff him out. Robin threw a Batarang but it bounced off his helmet. Firefly wasn't keen on "take your kids to work" day but Deathstroke leaped and knocked the fire gun away with his sword. Robin thought he was finished without it. Deathstroke warned there was more to it. Firefly asked him to let the kid learn for himself. Firefly's mask revealed a mouth and he unleashed a wave of flames. Firefly unleashed attack after attack.
Deathstroke and Robin dodged and jumped away. While Firefly focused on Robin, Deathstroke leaped from the top of a dinosaur and connected with a diving kick. He warned Firefly it was a reminder he was still around. Firefly landed on the back of a Triceratops then quipped he was clearing the field first. Robin was surrounded by flames and started having issues breathing. Deathstroke carried him in his arms and leaped to safety. Robin wondered why the sprinklers never activated. Deathstroke deduced Firefly disabled them and decided to confront him alone. Firefly realized Deathstroke was wearing a kevlar suit and raised the intensity of the flames. Deathstroke claimed to have a Hephaestus sword to withstand the attacks. The sprinklers suddenly turned on. Batman swung in and kicked Firefly from behind. Deathstroke observed and realized the steam created from the water would inhibit Firefly's vision and combined with Batman using infrared filters on his cowl, he had the upper hand. Batman decked Firefly enough to break the right eye glass. Firefly vowed Batman would burn next time then blew open an exit.
Robin, Batman, and Deathstroke ran out into the street but Firefly was gone. Robin wanted to continue but Batman ordered him to go home immediately. Deathstroke mused he should have stopped Robin from joining him. After a brief interrogation, Batman told Deathstroke to inform him of Firefly's location. Sunny got a black eye on the right side of her face. Deathstroke recalled Johnny Mathis' "When Sunny gets Blue" but she didn't find him funny. She wasn't fond of facing Batman so soon. He stated it was bound to happen and told her to think of it as practice. Lex Luthor made contact and cut to the chase that he wanted Batman dead. Deathstroke promised he would be in 24 hours. Sunny was livid and couldn't believe he chose 24 hours. Deathstroke pointed out the less time Batman had to think, the better it would turn out for them. She went to work and fixed up the Firefly suit for the ambush at the Tri-State Dam.
Deathstroke and Batman arrived at the Tri-State Dam and found an explosive charge. Deathstroke fed him the cover story that Firefly planned to take down the entire eastern seaboard. He readied his sai to disable the bomb while Batman went inside. Batman was already skeptical they were facing the real Firefly because he already noticed his movies were different and erratic, his voice lacked Lynns' moody, psychotic edge and he was wearing three inch lifts in his boots when he should be taller than him. Firefly appeared and fired at Batman. Batman jumped off the walkway, turned, and threw a freeze capsule at him. Firefly plummeted and knocked out on the floor. Batman removed the mask and confirmed his suspicions. He has no idea who Sunny was but estimated she couldn't be over 20. Batman used a pack on the suit to douse Deathstroke in accelerent and facilitate his defeat.
Wilson used his skills to get an early parole for himself and Sunny. They happened to be out on a freighter and recovered Red Hood after the lair he was using collapsed. When Jason Todd came to, Wilson revealed he started shadowing him after he figured out who was shadowing him. Sunny remarked it looked like he had a rough history with Batman. They left the room to let him rest.
