i agree with Baneares that he was just doing Nightwing a favor. HOWEVER, i think that this is one unintentional stepping stone on his eventual return to the hero business. (as in, he keeps doing stuff to help out - he can't escape it, it's in his blood; just a matter of resolving whatever issue it is that caused him to leave the team in the first place)

just my opinion.
