Chapter 4: Top of the List
While Cyborg and Static were searching the Titan's database for any sign of Jericho Ravager had quietly snuck off and found her way to the roof. There she perched on the ledge and dangled her legs in to oblivion, staring out at the city across the bay, five minutes passed before she heard the door behind her open,
"You all right?" Robin asked,
"It just feels weird in there; it's not the sorta place I should be,"
Robin sat down next to her, "You could have called, you still have my old communicator,"
Ravager nodded, "Yeah, and?"
"So why didn't you?"
Ravager shrugged, "I dunno, maybe I wanted to come back,"
"Rose do you have any idea who's behind the attacks, or why anyone would be after Jericho?" Robin leaned forward slightly,
Ravager sighed, "The team down there reckon I'm delusional, but only so many people would know about Jericho, high on the list would be Slade,"
Robin was instantly alert, "Why?"
Ravager laughed, "Robin, don't you see? This is why it couldn't be anyone else, there are only so many people who have a grudge against teenage super-humans and know Jericho is Deathstroke's son,"
"So Slade would be after him so he could have an heir?" Robin asked,
"Yeah, but Jericho wouldn't be his first choice, he prefers playing the guitar to going out and shooting people, oh and he's mute,"
"Rose, have you ever met him?" Robin cut through Ravager's ramblings,
She shook her head, "No, I'd like to though,"
Robin smiled, "If Static and Cyborg find him you could call him,"
"Speaking of calling," Ravager took something off her belt and tossed it to Robin, "This is yours,"
Robin looked down at it, he was holding an old Titan's communicator, "You can keep it," he offered it back to her,
Ravager shook her head, "I'd like to earn it this time."
She stood and offered Robin her hand, he took it and she pulled him to his feet; "Let's see if those geeks down there have found anything."
Together the two went back to common room, where Wonder Girl was arguing with Kid Devil;
"I don't care what she says, the theory's cracked, I mean he's dead!"
"Resurrected." Ravager corrected as the doors slid shut behind her,
Star Spangled Kid stepped in, "Let's not jump to conclusions, we keep Ravager's idea open as a low-level possibility and look at the facts, starting with anyone who'd have a grudge against teen-heroes and in particular Jericho."
Ravager sat on the couch folded her arms and said nothing, Robin looked to Cyborg;
"Found him yet?"
Cyborg shook his head, "Nothing, man, this kid's completely off radar,"
"Try Tibet," Ravager suggested, "I'm going to find him the old fashioned way,"
She stood and made for the door, Wonder Girl stepped in front of her, "Why should we trust you going off on your own?"
Robin stepped in, "If you're that worried, Wonder Girl, I'll go."
The Titan's stared but said nothing as their leader accompanied Ravager out again.
Beast Boy broke the silence; "Is it just me or is there something going on between those two?"
Raven smacked him and went back to her book.
