Hey guys! So this is the continuation of "Introducing: Ravager." I recommend reading that to get a feel for how Ravager joined the Team, and how she got started. This first chapter is just a light-hearted and fun chapter to proceed the darker story ahead. Enough of my rambling, here's the show :)

"Light Duty"

The Watchtower

August 5 18:27

A knock on Rose's bedroom door pulled her out of her concentration. She placed the notebook she was writing in down and opened her bedroom door.

Artemis stood at her door, wearing a black leather jacket, grey t-shirt, black jeans and black boots. In front of her stood a small child with dark auburn hair and gray eyes. Rose's eyebrows came together and Artemis smiled sweetly.

"Oh no." Rose tilted her head back.

"Just hear me out." Artemis pleaded. "I forgot I promised to watch my niece for my sister while she's out. I didn't want to leave her at my mom's because she has it rough as it is, and I have to go on a mission that I promised Aqualad I'd go on. He's in a bad mood, and I'm not gonna make it worse."

"Artemis, kids aren't allowed on the Watchtower unless they're super-powered and a part of the team." Rose crossed her arms. "How did you even get her through the zeta-tube?"

"I assigned her a designation." Artemis shrugged, brushing an auburn strand out of Lian's eyes. "And I know. But, you were the only one I could think of to watch her because you're on light duty and can keep a secret. Please help me?"

Rose groaned. "I'm totally going to get owned by Bats for this one."

"Thank you so much! Go to Auntie Rose." Artemis lightly guided Lian towards Rose.

"You owe me big time." Rose warned Artemis.

"Don't let anyone see her." Artemis called over her shoulder. She took off towards the mission room.

Rose turned towards the small child. And Lian smiled.

"Arm?" She pointed at Rose's cast on her wrist.

"I got into a fight with a bad guy, and he fractured my wrist." Rose shrugged.

Lian climbed onto Rose's bed and started drawing in her notebook.

"Let me get you a clean page." Rose flipped to the back of the notebook. "Auntie Rose has to finish writing a paper, so draw to your little heart's content."

Metropolis

August 5 18:46

"Tigress, watch it!" Aqualad warned her. She jumped and fired an arrow, avoiding the lasers shooting at her.

"Is it me, or are the Intergang's soldiers getting tougher?" Miss Martian asked. She deflected the lasers and put a forcefield around Superboy. The lasers deflected off of it and redirected towards some of the soldiers.

"Thanks, M'gann." Superboy smiled.

"No problem." She smiled back.

"I think a better question is: since when does Intergang have soldiers?" Nightwing demanded, using his escrima sticks to take out soldiers.

"Only one way to find out." Aqualad slashed away with his water-bearers as aquatic swords.

The Watchtower

August 5 19:15

"Okay Lian, I finished my paper. Now we can," Rose turned around and Lian was gone. "Oh no."

She bolted out of her room and down the hall. She calmly walked through the living room where Captain Marvel and Kid Flash were sitting. Rose then took off in a sprint to the mission room, and saw Lian making her way to the armory.

"Rose." Batman crossed his arms.

"Hello, Bruce." Rose smiled sneakily.

"I'm not even going to acknowledge that." Batman shook his head. "Why are you sneaking around the Watchtower?"

"I'm not sneaking around the Watchtower." Rose crossed her arms. Rose looked around him and saw Lian turn the corner.

Batman glared.

"I'm playing assassin with Kid Flash. It's like advanced tag. First one to draw on the other's neck wins." Rose lied.

"Mm-hm." Batman didn't believe her.

"Don't tell him I'm here." Rose warned him and took off.

"Kids." Batman spat.

Rose caught up to Lian, and picked her up.

"Don't run away again." Rose chided.

"Training session engaged." A computer voice announced over the speaker. Rose had walked into the training room.

"Uh oh." Rose flinched. She pulled her sword as a red laser shot at her. She deflected it and placed Lian on the ground.

"Again!" Lian laughed.

"Why do you like violence?" Rose jumped over a metallic wall. She threw Lian onto her back. "Oh right. You're an assassin baby like me. Hold on tight."

Rose slashed away at obstacles, deflecting and destroying anything that would harm Lian. Two robots swung a sword at Rose's back, so Rose kneeled and blocked with her swords behind her. Lian laughed even more.

"Ugh, you're crazy kid." Rose destroyed the robots.

Metropolis

August 5 19:15

"Everyone in position?" Aqualad asked.

(Telepathic link established.) Miss Martian alerted everyone.

(Nightwing in position.)

(Superboy, ready.)

(Tigress, good to go.)

(Alright. Nightwing and I will infiltrate the mainframe computer. Tigress and Superboy, take out the security system. Miss Martian, cover our backs.) Aqualad ordered.

(Sweet.) Tigress aimed an arrow at the security camera situated in the corner of the Lex Corp. building.

Superboy made it to the roof with a little help from Miss Martian's telekinesis. He took out the security cameras up there, and disengaged the motion sensors. (Go!)

Everyone took their places, and infiltrated the Lex Corp building. Aqualad and Nightwing made it to the main frame room through the white halls and tiled floors with no problem as Tigress and Miss Martian helped take out the security system on the other side of the building. Superboy soon joined the girls.

(What do we do from here?) Superboy asked.

(Stay whelmed.) Aqualad told him.

(Almost done.) Nightwing assured. He continued hacking into the super computer. (Man, Luthor's security is super tight. And not in a good way. But I'm in...got the files we were looking for now, and...done.)

(Alright time to go.) Aqualad ordered.

"Stop right there!" A guard yelled at Nightwing and Aqualad.

(Great. Make my day.) Aqualad thought angrily.

The Watchtower

August 5 19:29

Ravager left the training room sweating and panting. Lian cried out in joy and Rose made her way back to her room in secret.

"You are more trouble than you're worth." Ravager glared, setting the girl on the bed. Lian began to cry.

"Oh no, sh. Don't do that." Rose pleaded. "Hungry? Want some...ice cream?"

"Yeah!" Lian cheered.

There was a knock on the door, and Rose flinched.

"Stay quiet and you can get some ice cream." Rose promised. She cracked the door to find Batman.

"Did I hear a child crying?" He demanded.

"Nope. It might have been the TV. Captain Marvel-"

Batman pushed the door open all the way and walked in. He looked around but didn't see a child. Rose panicked on the inside, but was calm on the exterior. Batman looked around suspiciously.

"Hm." Batman exited. Rose waited two minutes before leaving out the door. She turned the corner, and found Kid Flash.

"Oh Rose," He smiled evilly. "Looking for someone?"

"Alright, where is she?" Rose crossed her arms.

"Where's who?" Bart looked at his fingers. "Maybe if I have a little incentive..."

"The incentive is I don't break your leg." Rose threatened.

"Captain Marvel's playing with her in his room." He smiled.

Rose took off in a sprint, and Kid zipped ahead.

"Allow me, m'lady." Kid picked her up and zoomed to the other side of the Watchtower to Captain Marvel's room. When he stopped, she glared at him. "You have to admit that was fun."

"Whatever." Rose rolled her eyes and opened the door to find the younger version of Captain Marvel playing patty-cake with Lian.

"Billy, thank God." Rose picked Lian up. "None of you saw this."

"Oh come on. She's much more fun than the other Leaguers." Billy pouted.

"Sorry Bill, gotta keep her with me." Rose shrugged.

"Ice cream?" Lian asked.

"Yes, ice cream." Ravager sighed.

She left the two younger men, and sneaked off to the kitchen. Most of the League members and the Team had gone home, so she was mostly in the clear now.

Rose sat Lian down at the kitchen table and opened the freezer, getting out the ice cream.

"We fooled Uncle Bats, didn't we?" Rose smiled, turning around. Instead of Lian, she saw Batman with Lian tugging on his cape. "Busted."

"Uncle Bats has a few words to say to Auntie Rose." Batman picked Lian up.

"You in trouble!" Lian pointed at Rose.

"Precisely." Batman glared at Rose.

He set Lian down in a chair with a book on it so she could reach the table. Rose finished getting Lian's ice cream, and sat across from Batman.

"Why is Roy's daughter here?" Batman demanded.

"Mommy has a hot date!" Lian answered.

Batman raised an eyebrow under his mask. "I thought I made it clear that no children were to enter the Watchtower unless authorized. Come in Artemis, I can hear you sneaking off."

Artemis entered the dark kitchen, and smiled sheepishly. "I needed a babysitter."

"Next time, don't make promises you can't keep. Take Lian home with you." Batman ordered. "Since you seem to be feeling better, here's your new case file you get to study."

Ravager took the file from Batman to read for later. Artemis picked Lian up, and set her empty bowl in the sink. She took Lian home to Gotham, and her mother welcomed her home with excitement at seeing both her daughter and granddaughter.

Back at the Watchtower, after getting a lecture from Batman, Rose retired back to her room. She picked up the notebook and found Lian's picture that she drew. It had Rose and Lian holding hands, with a sword in Rose's free hand, and a bat in the background. A sun was in the corner of the page. Rose smiled and pinned the picture up on the wall.

She then turned her attention to the lengthy case file that detailed her next mission.

So, things get a bit messy with the next mission ;)
