Description
The Judas Contract, Book 2: Betrayal
Dick Grayson is astounded when the Terminator, obviously aware of Dick’s former costumed identity, attacks the Titans’ leader in his own apartment. Dick manages to escape and tries to summon the Titans to his aid, but there is no response to his emergency signal. The Terminator tracks Dick the best he can but eventually loses him, unaware that he himself is being followed by the woman and young man who had been watching him previously. Arriving at Dick and Kory’s apartment, Dick finds the place in shambles, with evidence that Kory had been overcome by an explosive package delivered to her with Dick’s name on it. At Donna’s studio, he deduces that she had been rendered unconscious by a toxic ether created from her own photographic chemicals. Borrowing Donna’s car, Dick arrives at Victor’s apartment, where Victor had been the victim of an electrically charged chair. There is no trace of any of the defeated Titans, and Dick has no way of knowing if the Titans have been killed or simply kidnapped. Also, all the attacks indicate that the Terminator is aware of all of the Titans’ true identities, and Dick cannot fathom how terminator gained that information. Finally returning to the Tower, he had just found evidence of a battle involving Terra when he is surprised by the entrance of Adeline Wilson and her son Joseph, the people who had been shadowing the Terminator. They also know who Dick had been, and tell im that Terra had been Terminator’s agent the whole time, and that it was Terra who had defeated Raven. Unconvinced, Dick tries to get a hold of Gar Logan by calling him, only to find that he has fallen to the Terminator. Mailing out autographed photographs of himself supposedly requeted by his female fans, he was drugged by the glue on the envelopes. As Adeline reveals that she is Slade Wilson’s ex-wife, the Terminator arrives at H.I.V.E. headquarters in the Rocky Mountains with his captives.
