Rose next appeared as Deathstroke's apprentice in Teen Titans [third series] #7 [2004]. In
Teen Titans [third series] #8 [2004], Rose appears as the new Ravager. What would make Rose decide such a course? The answers were revealed [in part] in Teen Titans #1/2 [2004]: Deathstroke orchestrates events to bring Rose back into his life. Hiring Ravager III [Wade DeFarge] to hunt Rose so he can save her, he pushes her down a destructive path as his new apprentice. Rose's first act as his new student is to slay the former Ravager, so she can become the new one.
In Teen Titans #12, Cyborg deduced Slade was pumping Rose full of the same chemicals that made him Deathstroke; This caused her mental imbalance. |
