Intervenes (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

steps in

'intervenes' is the definition.
('step in' can be a synonym of 'intervene')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for steps in that I've seen before include "Intervenes" , "Takes over" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
