Chapter 9: Assessment
Inside the Tower Robin, Raven, Cyborg and Beast Boy huddled in front of a large counsel. On it was a picture of Sullen Eagle's spirit companion.
"Yea, that's it", Raven calmly replied.
Cyborg glanced at the screen in disbelief. "That's a Passenger Pigeon. The last one died in the Cincinnati Zoo almost one hundred years ago."
"Whoa." Beast Boy struggled to comprehend what Raven had told them.
"Well, a lot of what he told you checks out," Cyborg continued. "The Lenape lived in this area several centuries ago."
"Then we give him the belt back and he can go, right?" Beast Boy hesitantly offered.
"Relics aren't things you casually hand over to strangers," Raven coolly replied. "They are powerful tools capable of destroying worlds. Some of the most powerful ones have strong personalities capable of taking over their welders."
"Well now what do we do?" Cyborg inquired. "The records are pretty sparse regarding Indian relics."
"We just need some time," Raven replied. "I'm sure we can turn something up with the university profs."
"I'm with Raven on this one," Robin added. "We shouldn't turn something this powerful over to someone we don't know anything about."
Starfire entered the room and approached the group. "Have we decided what to do?"
"Raven thinks we should hold off on turning the belt over to our guest," Cyborg answered.
Starfire turned to Raven with a sad look. "I do not think our guest will like our decision."
"What's our guest up to?" Cyborg inquired.
"He is resting downstairs," Starfire replied.
"That sounds like a good plan for all of us", Robin continued. "We'll make a fresh start of it in the morning." The group collectively nodded in agreement.
