Inside the Hall of Justice’s interrogation room,
The room is dark and nothing can be seen. So, thinks Rock who sits, chained in a high-tech interrogation chair. He’s blindfolded.
The lights burst on, bright as can be. “Who put this on you?” asks a voice. Rock doesn’t respond. “Who put that on you?” the voice continues.
“Put what?” Rock replies. Suddenly the blindfold is pulled off by Power Guy, who is holding a folder of papers.
Power Guy waves the blindfold at him. “It was Crimson Squire.... I think.” Rock replies.
BAM! Rock’s head is suddenly smashed into the table in front of him and Power Guy by a force behind him. Power Guy sits down. “Getting erotic with my ex?” asks the voice behind him.
Rock looks back. It’s Dark Arrow, who’s angry as can be.
“I was in the lounge with her and a few other people. Stands up and walks away. Next thing I know I’m blindfolded and then knocked out.” Rock says as Dark Arrow walks around him and sits next to Power Guy.
“You shouldn’t jump to conclusion so fast.” says Power Guy. “It’s not constitutional.”
Rock laughs. “It’s not constitutional to blindfold and knock someone out.” he says. Dark Arrow smiles at him. “It’s not constitutional to go around shooting people, hombre. You know nothing of the constitution. Just like your family.” Dark Arrow says.
Rock tries to leap at him, now angry. The chair restrains him. Dark Arrow laughs, “Christ, I wish I had a camera on me right now. You’re hysterical.”
“Without my family, you wouldn’t even be here.” says Rock, trying to calm himself down.
“Would you two relax?” asks Power Guy, calming the room as he tries to ease away the tension. The room becomes dead silent. Everyone exchanges a look. A beat passes through the room.
“Why am I in this chair?” asks Rock. “That’s obvious. For interrogation.” says Dark Arrow in response.
“I don’t believe you should be here.” says Power Guy. “You have never been a Titan and you have your track record of crimes. Hell, we have no clue who you are”
“I was an Outsider.” remarks Rock. “A bad one.” Dark Arrow says in response. “I don’t want to remove you, Dark Arrow. Stay relevant and helpful.” Power Guys cuts in, quieting the room.
Power Guy leans forward, leaning against the table. “Look, Rock. I need you to tell us your whole story. In detail.” he continues.
Rock nods. “ C’ I get something to drink?” he asks.
“Sure.” Power Guy responds. He turns to Dark Arrow. “Wanna’ get him some coffee?” Power Guy asks.
Before he could respond, Power Guy leans towards him, causing Dark Arrow to walk out to get coffee before he could respond. Power Guy turns back to Rock.
“Do you want to tell us about your early years?” he asks.
Suddenly, Rock was in a flashback, telling his life story.
