"What; who?" asked everyone in confusion. Startled by the declaration, they all dropped what they were doing and walked forward, standing around Apollo.
"Are you saying you know where Slade is?" asked Robin. Apollo's devilish grin remained fixed on her face as she looked him in the eye and smiled.
"Already?" exclaimed Beast Boy and Cyborg. "Dude!"
"But it has only been a few hours," remarked Starfire.
"Yeah, how were you able to find him so fast?" asked Cyborg, trying his best to hide the skepticism in his voice.
"Simple," stared Apollo. "You remember the tracker he was using on me?" everyone nodded in confirmation. "Well even though you and Raven were able to deactivate it, I still managed to tweak it and use it to my own advantage; if Slade could use it to follow me, why can't I track him down with his own toys?" the crafty girl asked in a confident manner. "It's just a simple means of turning the tables- using your opponent's assets against them."
"Great work Apollo," praised Robin. "So where exactly is he? We need to know now so we can strike as soon as possible," he continued, looking at the files in her hand.
"He's actually a lot closer than we thought," she said as she walked over to the kitchen area and spread the papers out across the counter- revealing a bunch of random pictures. "Turns out he's been hiding at the old abandoned steel mill just outside of the city; see?" she points to a few pictures of a worn down old building and several of Slade's drones standing guard outside. "Oh, and here, I managed to pull a few extra bits of info that could prove useful." She held up her arm and pulled back her glove to reveal a small silver wristlet.
"Um, stylish?" said Cyborg in confusion.
"And this will help us how?" asked Raven, slowly lifting an eyebrow.
"Hold on, I've gotta get it up," answered Apollo as she quickly tapped the piece of jewelry several times. "It not the bracelet, that's going to help, it's what I put on it…" Intrigued, the others all crowded around Apollo's arm and stared at the wristband in curiosity. The stylish bracelet began to beep, then slowly, the steady beeping began to speed up until it suddenly halted and a large holographic screen exploded from the wristband!
"Whoa! Cool; AMAZING!" the titans all cried when they saw the incredible image projecting from Apollo's arm.
"What is this?" asked Starfire curiously as she innocently began poking at the glowing image of a building hovering above the wristlet.
"It's a map; a 3D hologram of Slade's headquarters." Stated Apollo confidently. While the others all continued to stare in awe at the amazing new gadget, Robin managed to snap out of his astonished stupor and return to reality.
"This is incredible, but how did you manage to get all of this in just a day? I mean a holographic map of his location; how did you know where to look?"
"Or what to look for?" added Cyborg.
"Uh let me see; how did I find this?" sighed Apollo as she sarcastically closed her eyes and pretended to think. "Oh yeah now I remember, it's called 'hacking'!" she replied irritably. "I'm an expert spy remember? Come on Robin," scoffed Apollo as she shut down the image and walked forward. "I'd figure at least you would know that."
"Dude, with all this dirt we could beat Slade like a gazillion times!" cheered Beast Boy in disbelief.
"I think once will be more than enough," sighed Raven in response to Beast Boys childish statement.
"Yes, and with what I've pulled up one time is all we need," said Apollo as she ominously stared down at the scattered pictures. "We should be ready to go in a few minutes-"
"Hold up!" shouted Cyborg. "You wanna leave tonight? That's a little soon don't you think?"
"No," snapped Apollo as she gathered the pictures. "The sooner we start, the sooner it will all end…" she slowly became silent after the remark. Clearly she had other reasons for her extreme dedication and drive. "Besides, there's no telling how long we can trust he'll actually stay there," as she spoke, the others were all able to make sense of her reasoning. "We can't risk the wait."
After, thinking over what had been said, the team stood and contemplated what should be done; finally Robin stepped forward, "Apollo's right, we can't risk the wait," the rest of the team stared at their leader while Apollo smiled as her proposition was taken into consideration. "But," Robin continued, "Even I have to admit that striking now would be too early; this could be exactly what Slade expects. Maybe we should wait until tomorrow- at the latest?" suggested Robin as he turned and faced his friend. A concerned, reassuring look on his face, his glance- at first- was ignored by an angry Apollo, but eventually she broke and gave in to then whim.
"Fine," she mumbled angrily. "I'll spare him one more night…" she growled as she gathered her findings and headed back to her room. Before walking out of the main room she stopped one last time and turned to face the others, "But you all have to be ready in the morning…"
