Rain was slammed down on a conveyer belt. She grunted from the pain that surged through her back and she grimaced. She was still bound and gagged, and couldn't break free no matter how much she wiggled around. The boys began to tie Rain to the conveyer belt. "Looks like your friends didn't come." Jinx taunted. "Oh well, they'll just have to simply suffer the consequences." She said with a shrug. And she pushed a button on the machine. Rain looked down and saw a pit of fire, with flames reaching up towards the ceiling and raging with fury! With another press of the button, the conveyer belt began to move towards the flames! "Let's see you get out of that."

Rain went into a frenzy! She began to kick and wiggle about, trying her hardest to break free of the ropes! This looked like the end for her. She watched as the flames grew closer and closer…there was nothing she could do. She began to cry, but her screams were muffled and only her tears were noticeable. She thought, if only those fiends were right…if only she was a mutant. Than maybe she'd find a way to break free and live. But she wasn't special like that, she was a normal girl, the typical damsel in distress. And this was the end of the line.

But just as she gave up hope, there was a loud booming sound to her right, and she looked to her side. It was the boys of Titans East here to her rescue! "Ah, you made it!" Jinx said. "Where's your boss? It's four against five, that's an unfair fight." But the boys ignored her and sprang into action! Aqualad took all the water from the pipes and formed a giant water ball. He threw it at Private Hive and he went tumbling back. Mas y Menos raced around, running up to different members of the opposite team and kicking them in the face! Speedy shot arrow after arrow!

"Hang on Rain!" he called out to his friend in danger. And then Jinx sent a wave of bad luck in his direction, and then the whole ceiling began to cave in! Titans East looked up just as it started to fall! Rain tried to scream, but she was muted by the gag. The roof came down on top of her friends, and only a cloud of smoke remained. Rain grew furious and began to kick around, still knowing that there was nothing she could do. Were they gone? Were they hurt?

"Looks like that's the end of that." Jinx said and laughed. She got out her communicator and spoke into it with an evil grin on her face. "Headmaster, the Titans East has been terminated. All except their leader." But just as she said that, an arrow shot it out of her hands! They all looked at the ruble and saw that the boys had hidden behind it, and were safe! Jinx threw more waves of bad luck at them, but they split up.

Aqualad shot more water at them, while riding a giant wave. He shot Mammoth with a water ball and then turned and punched Private Hive in the face! Billy Numerous split himself into three more duplicates and they all went to ambush Aqualad, but Mas y Menos dashed over and began to fight them off! Gizmo ran into the mix with his large metal spider legs carrying him. He began to shoot missiles at the titans! Jinx ran back over to Rain and pulled a lever that made the conveyer belt go faster! An arrow whistled through the air and knocked her in the face, making her crash into the machine and hit her head. She fell to the floor unconscious. Rain looked down at the flames that were now coming up even faster! She squirmed with all her might but the ropes didn't let up one bit!

Soon Speedy dashed over and jumped onto the conveyer belt with Rain! He began to untie the rope as fast as he could, all while they were growing closer to the fire pit! Speedy fumbled with the rope's knot until Jinx dove in and pushed him away from Rain! The two struggled on the floor, kicking and punching, choking each other. In one last desperate attempt, Speedy shot out an arrow towards Rain. The arrow just missed her body, but cut the ropes and set her free! And right after the rope was cut, Speedy jumped up and snatched Rain off of the moving contraption, throwing her over his shoulder and diving off just missing the fire pit!

On the floor, Speedy untied Rain and took off her gag. "Are you okay?" he asked her. But then Mammoth grabbed onto Speedy and yanked him away! He grabbed hold of Speedy and began to squeeze the living breath out of him! Speedy writhed in his grip, dropping his bow and trying to break free! Rain looked at the other titans, who were also being held hostage by the other Hive Five members. Jinx walked up to them.

"Good, now let's get rid of them…for good!" she said.

"NOOOO!" they heard a scream, and then Rain jumped up onto Mammoth's back and grabbed hold of his head! She dug her nails into his face, making him drop Speedy and go into a panic attack! Mammoth began to spin around and try and grab Rain and rip her off of his face! Speedy watched in terror as Rain was snatched off of his face and thrown like a rag doll against a wall! She hit it and slid down, then laid on the ground out cold.

"RAIN!" he called out, and now he was mad! He grabbed his bow and arrows and aimed a combustive arrow at Mammoth's face and shot it! It was a direct hit, and Mammoth went down, the titans ran out of the grip of their captors just as Mammoth came down on top of Private Hive, Billy Numerous and Gizmo, crushing them. Jinx yelled.

"You clumsy good for nothing…" but she was kicked in the back by Mas y Menos and went flying forward, where she was greeted by Aqualad's fist in her stomach. Speedy picked her up by her collar and punched her in the face.

"That's for Rain!" he growled as she fell to the ground. The titans walked away to see if Rain was okay, but as they did, Jinx fired one last shot of bad luck at them! They turned just in time to see it coming for them! But a mirror was rolled out onto the floor, and it passed in front of the titans, deflecting the ray and sending it back at Jinx. It hit the floor, and within seconds the floor caved in, taking the members of Hive Five with it. The titans looked in the direction the mirror came from and saw Rain, holding herself up on a crate filled with identical mirrors. They ran over to her.

"Great save!" Aqualad gushed. Rain was weak in the knees and almost fell to the floor, but Speedy caught her in his arms.

"Are you okay?" he asked, worried. He helped her back up as she nodded.

"That was…" and she paused. "AWESOME!" Speedy smiled.

"That was some pretty quick thinking." Aqualad said, "You saved our butts back there." Mas y Menos danced around and began to cheer.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Speedy asked one last time.

"Thanks to you." She replied.

"Well, we had some help." He referred back to her. She smiled and hugged him. He hugged her back, grateful that she was alright. "I'm never letting you out of my sight again."

"I'm fine." She replied.

"But you almost got killed today. I promised you that I'd always be there. And I wasn't."

"Yes you were." Rain told him, "You were just a little late." She finished with a smirk.

"That's Speedy for you. Always fashionably late." Aqualad said with a hand on her shoulder.
