Ravager has posed:
The Ravager is in full regalia as she stands at the back of a dubious looking French bar, near dusk. Conner might recognize the area as the one Rose described to him where The Target disappeared. There are actually a series of bars, clubs, and laundromats along the street. The Ravager is in black, orange and has a chainmail reinforced mesh outfit, complete with badass stashed at her back. "You gonna do this quickly or not, asshole? We're on a deadline here, stop screwing around asking dumb questions," she asks a scrawny looking Frenchman. He grins knowingly at Ravager as he just stands there with his hands in his pockets, "You want it done right, or not?" he asks her.

Superboy has posed:
Conner has rarely seen Rose in the full armor setup. He is still not sure if he likes it. She told him she was Deathstroke's daughter a few weeks ago, and now the outfit makes sense. It is probably a bad thing. It is likely going to be a problem in the long run.

But right now they have other problems. Like the mercenary hacker that Rose hired to get the security footage. The little guy has been sneaky and snickering. Conner doesn't trust him much.

Ravager has posed:
The Sneak holds up his hands defensively (with a snicker) and takes the Ravager's iPad from her, "Fine, whatever guys. But don't hover over me, dude. I gotta connect to the wifi of this place so I gotta go around front and stand near the entrance. You gonna keep your flunkie off me?" he asks Rose.

Ravager nods but still frowns about this plan, "Stop whining, jackass. It'll take you two minutes and you'll get your money," she promises. The Sneak looks at Conner with a smirk.

Superboy has posed:
Conner shrugs and offers the man a lopsided smile. "Hey, don't mind me. I am here only for the lady," he explains. "Lady who shouldn't go into the club on that getup, by the way," he teases Rose. "Want to climb up," he thumbs up to the building, from where they can watch Mr. Sneaky and wait. "I'll get a couple mugs of coffee from the bar."

Ravager has posed:
The Sneak walks off, back up around the building toward the front. Ravager smirks at Conner and looks up at the roof, "Flunkies don't decide dress code," she explains amusedly. She then thumbs up the building, "Can you get up to the fire escape over there?" she motions down the alley, "We should keep an eye on this guy."

Superboy has posed:
Conner pffs, waiting for the hacker to leave and then wrapping an arm around Rose's waist, and flying her up the fire escape. "Offer for coffee rescinded," he announces. "And I can keep an eye on him, yeah. Telescopic vision and all that. I'll make sure he doesn't leave a virus in your ipad."

Ravager has posed:
Ravager puts down on the fire escape and then leans forward, putting her hands on the railing so she can spot The Sneak, "Yeah, you can but I don't have X-Ray vision," she tells him, "Is that him over there under the awning? I can't tell if anyone's looking at him. What can you see?" she wonders.

Superboy has posed:
Conner snorts. "I don't have X-ray vision either." That is one of the abilities that seem to be missing in his Kryptonian set. "But I can see him, yeah. No idea if anyone is looking at him from the inside, but not in the street. I can also hear him. He seems to be working, so we better give him twenty minutes or so."

Ravager has posed:
Ravager nods to what Conner says, "Alright, good job," she notes and pauses, then adds, "You're generous. In twenty fuckin minutes, I could do it myself," she says. She then glances back and him, "We gonna have to hire him again to track down the car?" she wonders.

Superboy has posed:
Conner shakes his head. If she could do it herself, she should! Certainly he couldn't, but Tim would have it in five minutes. Ah, well.

"Maybe. Maybe we can get good pictures of these guys, check the Outsiders database, and your merc friends, and get some names we can use." Because the car is likely abandoned in some suburban industrial park right now. Unless the kidnappers are very dumb.

Ravager has posed:
Ravager looks back at The Sneak, "These guys are probably not dumb. We'll have to spot them out on the video," she suggests. "Yeah, good idea. Login to the Outsiders database and swipe some records. I'd like everything they got on these punkass kidnappers."

Superboy has posed:
That is why Conner purchased a laptop this morning. But the descriptions they got were not good enough. This time should be different. "They are not genius either, after all they were seeing with the kidnap victim a few times." Notes Conner.

Still, he feels the lack of detective skills! Perhaps Rose should have invited Nightwing for this caper, not Superboy.

Ravager has posed:
The Sneak seems to finish and glances around to see if anyone's watching, then starts walking to the back of the bar to find Rose and Conner. "Okay he's done, Conner. Are you watching?" Ravager wonders, nudging him with her elbow.

Superboy has posed:
"I am watching," confirms Conner. "You better go down there and get the info, and pay him," he replies, nudging her back. "I am just a flunky anyway," he reminds her with a smirk. "Then I will take you back to the hotel so we can verify the info this guy extracted. I am not sure what kind of gear he used and I was watching. Where did you find him, anyway?"

Ravager has posed:
Ravager smirks, "Mercs-R-Us of course," she tells him, then hops over the railing and jumps down to the street with great dexterity. She heads over to The Sneak and meets him behind the building, where they were before. He hands Rose the IPad back and she checks it over for a few minutes, before she produces a stack of bills like a true mercenary, handing them over to The Sneak. He smiles and says a few words of thanks, then walks off.

Superboy has posed:
Conner duhs, then waits, listening to the exchange a hundred feet down in the alley. As everything seems to go okay, he waits a little longer until the mercenary hacker is gone to pick up Rose and fly back to the hotel room.

No need to say much, he turns on the computer, sets up a secure vpn and then connects to Red Robin system. "Give me the video feed, please," he asks Rose.

Ravager has posed:
Ravager taps on the IPad and connects it to the laptop, where she feeds the video to Conner. The video is blurry at first, then it shows the men quite clearly, "Can you clean that up? This is the part we need," she reminds him. Three young French men meet their victim outside the bar, where it looks as if they were waiting, smoking and talking. The group seems to know each other, as they have a conversation before it erupts in violence, and the victim falls to the concrete after a few punches. The group looks stunned at the dumb results of the conversation and so they load him into their grey Volkswagen SUV.

Superboy has posed:
"Yep, the computer will do it for us automatically," states Conner, feeding the whole thing to the server in Gotham through a secured line that passes through some hosts in Barbados or some other tropical island hackers use to avoid control.

"We should have matches on fifteen, twenty minutes. Should I order a pizza meanwhile?" He offers. "I am the best flunky every, hmm?"
