Jericho's Story
While President Mario arranges to replace the arms lost when his gunrunners were apprehended, Jericho travels to Qurac with one of his mother’s agents, a young woman named Amber, to rescue Adeline. Over Changeling’s protests, the Titans agree not to intervene in the matter. Alerted by Lilith’s precognition, they go instead to S.T.A.R. Labs, where an explosion frees the cryogenically preserved alien, a winged man who instantly becomes enamored of Lilith. In Qurac, Jericho and Amber are taken captive and reunited with Adeline in a prison cell. Jericho uses his powers to help them get free and to defeat Cheshire. Cheshire and Marlo then escape when Joe chooses not to pursue them in order to save Mario’s purloined art collection from being destroyed by a grenade.
