Intervention! (Helena)
Helena was going to be cooking him dinner for a month after this.

He punched out the fourth Khandaqi guard he came across, dropping him in a single blow. Roy was being careful not to kill anyone, because that would start an international incident, and America could ill afford that. Of course, rescuing Helena from a psychotic dictator would achieve the same thing, but it was a matter of principle. He just hoped Adam hadn't decided to take any liberties with Helena during her incarceration.

He'd arrived three days ago in Qurac, and quietly set about procuring ground transportation (a camel) and provisions to make the trip across the desert. The advantages of living with a Native American medicine man paid dividends as Roy made his way across the terrain over the next couple of days, moving a bit slower than he wanted in order to avoid patrols. The last thing he needed was to be caught inside the Khandaq border; of course, that might also mean he got the cell next to Helena's.

But if he got locked up, there was no way to get them out.

Finally, inside the the palace, Roy kept to the shadows, sneaking room to room, hoping to find Helena's.

Unfortunately, he thought he heard someone coming around a corner and ducked into the first room with an unlocked door that he found.

Closing the door quietly, he noted that this room was warmer than most, but that wouldn't matter. He just hoped he hadn't walked into Black Adam's sauna.

He turned around.

Roy looks at Helena, now, not liking how she knew he was going home with such certainty. The only way she'd know that is if Adam told her, and he was pretty sure that Adam wouldn't just let him go out of the kindness of his heart.

See the name "Black" Adam.

"Helena...what did you do?"

"It doesn't matter Roy," she said. "What's done is done and you will go home in the morning."

She looked at him for a long moment and then started to walk away.

"Helena! Don't walk away from me. Whatever he made you promise, you don't have to give him. Not for me or anyone. I'd rather take my chances in this cell." Roy says.

"What did he make you promise?" Roy asks again.

Helena paused for a moment and then continued walking.

"Helena! HELENA!"

Goddamnit, Harper. You should have just knocked her out.

That was it. When he got back to America, he was calling the Justice League, the Outsiders and the Justice Society.

Black Adam had to be stopped.

Helena ignored Roy and kept walking.
