Justice League: Vertigo

Chapter 29 - Fire and Brimstone

"Who the heck are you?!" Asked Kid Flash.
"I'm Ravager." She said. "I was passing by and saw some helpless civilians to save, so being the golden hearted hero I am, I came to save you. You're welcome."
"Whoever you are, thank you for helping us." Said Aqualad.
"See, now you're the one stalking me." Adam said to her.
Supergirl got up and shot a beam at Adam. He dodged it and Aqualad ran into her with a mace combo, knocking her out.
The Flash tried to free himself, but M'gann got to him first and knocked him out with a mind blast.
"As you guys haven't been formally introduced, this is Ravager. She's my frie...."Adam stopped when he saw Rose scowling at him when he was about to call her his friend.
"She's my friend." He smirked at her.
"SELF-DESTRUCT SEQUENCE ACTIVATE!!!" Said Doctor Fate, but he was punched out again by Superboy.
"Dammit. No time for pleasantries. We need to get the hell out now. Do you have a ship or something?" Ravager asked.
"Self destruction in 5 minutes." The computer said.
"You guys come to the air lock." Said Robin over comms."I'm approaching right now."
Astrid was on the keyboard trying to deactivate the sequence but it was futile.
"Wish Robin was here." She muttered.
They all went to the airlock and onto the ship with Supergirl, The Flash and Doctor Fate.
As they flew back to Earth, everybody watched in solemn silence as the Watchtower exploded in a shockwave.
"Bloody hell." Whispered Adam.
"What's that?" Asked Superboy as he pointed at something in the wreckage.
Adam and Astrid put on their Dragon Vision.
"It's him." Said Astrid. She had her hands in a fist.
Adam saw Superman flying in the middle of the wreckage.
He squeezed his seat.
"Adam, you're hurting her." Said M'gann.
"Sorry." He said, as he loosened his grip. "He's coming this way! Camouflage mode!"
The bioship went into camouflage mode as Superman flew towards them. He looked in the direction of the bioship, then flew down to the earth. Everyone exhaled.
"Those eyes." Said Rose. "The eyes of a stone cold killer."
-----------------------------------------------
They got back to the Hall of Justice were all of their mentors were recuperating. Aqualad, as leader told them what had happened.
"This is a monumental tragedy." Said Batman who was covered in bandages, but still had his cowl on. "But we will not give up. The Justice League will need time to heal. During that time, this Team will have to take our place and fight the good fight."
"Sup Bats?" Said Ravager.
"You must be Ravager. Daughter of Deathstroke." He said.
Everybody's heads turned to Adam.
"Deathstroke's kid? Seriously?" Asked Zatanna.
"She helped, didn't she?" Said Adam.
"If you are going to be an asset to the Team, you are welcome to stay." Said Aqualad
"I'll think about it." Ravager replied.
"They got back to the cave.
"Nice digs." Said Ravager.
"So, how do you know Adam?" Asked Kid Flash.
"I tried to kill him a few times." She said.
"But then I saved her life." Adam boasted.
She punched him in gut.
"But we're even now." Adam moaned.
"Let me show you to your new room." Said M'gann.
Adam went to his room and was playing around with his guitar, when he heard a knock on his door.
"Come in." He said.
It was Robin.
"Hey." He said.
"You're not with your girlfriend?" Said Adam, but he immediately regretted it because he heard how pathetic he sounded.
"No, no. I wanted to say thanks. For helping me control myself with the Joker."
"No problem, man."
"But I have a question for you. Will you take your own advice?"
"What do you mean?" Asked Adam, knowing full well what Robin meant.
"When you get the choice to either kill Superman or let him live, what will  you do?"
Adam's next strum snapped all the strings of his guitar.
"It's different. If you knew the things he's done. The people he's killed , you'd know that he deserves a fate worse than death."
"You know you can't do that Adam."
"We'll see."
