Chapter VII-
"So where exactly are we going?" ヒイラギ, ホリー asked.
Revenge looked at her and she shut up.
The two continued to navigate the town until they reached a less populated area. They looked around, but couldn't find whatever Revenge was looking for. After a moment, they grappled up to the roof of a building overlooking most of the street.
They sat in silence for a while until Courage spoke.
"What was Stalin referring to during the last part of your conversation with him?" ヒイラギ, ホリー asked, pulling her mask off.
Revenge looked at her before replying.
"What happened is history, don't bother with it, kid." he said.
"History's my お気に入り subject." she said.
"Well I hate it." Revenge replied.
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad."
ヒイラギ, ホリー could tell his exact expression from under his mask, but it wasn't good.
"Can it?"
Revenge sighed and pulled his mask off.
"About two years ago, I was living a normal life. Typical teenager in school. Friends, girlfriend."
ヒイラギ, ホリー raised an eyebrow.
"What?" he asked. "You aren't the first female I met!"
ヒイラギ, ホリー rolled her eyes and Sam continued.
"My dad secretly worked with Bruce Wayne. He was planning this big project with Mr. Wayne. Unfortunately, he died before he could complete the transaction."
ヒイラギ, ホリー put her arm on Sam's shoulder.
"I'm sorry-" she said.
"Don't bother." Sam said, shaking her hand off. "Official レポート is he jumped off the 上, ページのトップへ of a warehouse. But I knew that wasn't true. I donned a costume and with the help of Vendicta-"
"Who?"
"Don't worry about it." Sam 発言しました quickly. "Anyway, I went off to find out what really happened. Turns out someone threw him off the building. I looked for the killer, but never found him."
ヒイラギ, ホリー looked at him with an expression of pity. "Sam, I'm sorry. I never knew."
"There are a lot of people on the Team that have worse stories. For instance, Robin's whole family was murdered in front of him when he was nine. Artemis's family-. Aqualad's dad is pretty messed up. The 一覧 goes on."
"Is it so hard for あなた to let anyone try to be nice to you?" ヒイラギ, ホリー asked.
Sam's face hardened as lightning flashed. ヒイラギ, ホリー wished she hadn't asked.
"Emotion clouds your judgment." Sam 発言しました bitterly.
"Oh-Kay..." ヒイラギ, ホリー said.
Sam sat there for a 分 until he slipped his mask on and stood up, cape billowing in the wind.
"We need to go." he said. Courage slipped her mask on and grappled down with Revenge. The two landed in the 通り, ストリート and walked around. Courage could tell Revenge wished he hadn't brought her along, but she had a sneaky feeling he was out for もっと見る than a midnight stroll.
The two walked in silence until Revenge slipped into an alleyway. Courage heard sounds of paper being rustled and something getting tossed into the ウォール a few times before Revenge emerged.
"There's a guy who 発言しました he saw the Soviets up this street." Revenge said.
"You sure he's telling the truth?" Courage asked.
"Of course," Revenge 発言しました like it was obvious. "I interrogated---asked him."
The two walked down the designated 通り, ストリート to where the Soviets were supposed to be. Nothing was there.
Suddenly, gangsters dropped down from all sides surrounding Revenge and Courage.
"You have got to be kidding me? This is the best you've got?" Revenge asked.
"Youre going down, American! Cape または not!" one of the gang members 発言しました in very poor English.
"You and what army?"
Twenty もっと見る gang members with 銃 dropped down.
"Just had to ask, didn't you?" Courage said.
--------------------------------------------
Megan sat up in ベッド and yawned.
"Connor?" she asked. Superboy grumbled something in his sleep and turned over.
"Connor."
"Yeah M'gann?" Connor replied.
"I've got a bad feeling."
"About what?" Connor said, definitely もっと見る awake.
"About Revenge and Courage."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know, they're out of my range and-"
M'gann froze. "They're out of my range which means they're not in their hotel!"
"Are あなた sure?" Superboy asked.
"Positive." M'gann said. "Aqualad set up all of the hotels to be within my telepathic range. They're not in my range so they aren't in the hotel!"
"I'll get the communicator." Superboy sighed.
--------------------------------------------
Revenge grabbed one of the downed gang members によって the collar. He was about to pick him up when he turned to Courage.
"You might want to leave." he said. "Shadows have nothing on my interrogation methods."
Courage backed out of the alley, trying not to trip over unconscious gangsters.
Revenge grabbed the guy によって the throat and rammed him into the ウォール "Tell me the truth this time. Where. Is. Stalin?"
"I don't know!" the guy protested.
Revenge stabbed a dagger into the ウォール a few millimeters from the guys head.
"Are あなた sure? Because I really don't want to have to do this the hard way."
"Who do あなた think あなた are, Batman? I've come across バットマン before, and trust me, you're no Batm-"
Revenge punched him in the face. "Do I look like Batman?" he demanded.
"No, of course not. Sorry I offended you, it's just-"
"Losing. My. Patience."
"Fine, fine. Abandoned building two miles northeast from here. Looks like nothing, but it's all high tech. Rumor is Stalin is there. That's all I've got!"
"Thanks." Revenge said, before knocking him out.
--------------------------------------------
"No answer." Connor said. "They must have turned off their communicators."
"But why would they do that?"
--------------------------------------------
Revenge delivered a kick to one guards stomach while Courage knocked the other guard out.
Revenge activated infrared in his sunglasses and scanned.
"Bunch of soldiers." he said. He stabbed a dagger into the door.
"Down." he said.
The blast blew the door open causing smoke and debris to fly and confusion to grip the Soviets.
Revenge walked in, throwing a few daggers at the group of soldiers. Gas erupted from them and the guards fell to the ground unconscious.
Revenge walked upstairs and kicked open the door to the main room. Nobody was there. Revenge whirled around and was immediately thrown back into the ウォール によって a heavy blow.
Revenge sat up and saw the missing soldiers pointing their rifles at him.
Courage tossed a gas grenade towards them and they collapsed.
"Too easy." Revenge said.
"Yeah," Courage replied.
"Let's go." Revenge said.
--------------------------------------------
Courage and Revenge had searched half the town for the Soviets, but could find them. They had looted three Soviet bases but found nothing.
ヒイラギ, ホリー was sitting on the edge of the roof when her communicator rang.
"Don't answer." Revenge said, stopping his pacing on the roof.
"Why shouldn't I answer?" ヒイラギ, ホリー asked.
"They'll track us." Revenge said. "Last thing I need is fishboy to tell me what and how to do things."
"What do あなた despise so much about them?" ヒイラギ, ホリー asked, slipping her communicator back into her belt.
"They're too lenient." Revenge said.
"I'm forgiving." ヒイラギ, ホリー said.
"Not as much as they are." Revenge said, sitting down.
"And may I ask what's wrong with being lenient?" ヒイラギ, ホリー asked.
"Makes あなた weak."
"You know who あなた sound like?"
"Yeah, I've heard it a few times."
ヒイラギ, ホリー looked at him. That's when Revenge spotted his 次 target.
"So where exactly are we going?" ヒイラギ, ホリー asked.
Revenge looked at her and she shut up.
