WOW! I can't believe how popular this story is!
Chapter 5: To the Rescue!
"Raven," Beast Boy said. "Keep close to the stair walls. I don't know what to expect." Raven nodded her head and placed her back to the wall. "This is a 20 story building," Raven mentioned. Suddenly, two guards piled out of a door and into the couple. Raven used her powers to subdue one guard whereas Beast Boy landed a solid punch to another's jaw, knocking him out instantly. "Put them in here," Raven said, grabbing one guard by the arms and dragging him upstairs into a janitorial closet (cliché I know). Beast Boy grabbed the other guard and followed her. "I never thought you and me would save the day," BB laughed silently. Raven smiled. "Well," she smirked. "Let's make sure that we don't get killed while doing so."
"Hey twerps!" a voice boomed on their communicator.
"What Mammoth?" BB said annoyingly.
"I found where they held our teams."
"And?" Raven asked. "Where are they?"
"I'm working on it!" Mammoth screamed. Raven heard a noise. "Stay here," she told B. "What?" he asked. Raven embraced him. "Trust me!"

"Where's the chopper?" The three females screamed in unison. "It's coming, girls," a rather slender middle aged man reassured. He stood around six feet with dirty blonde hair. "Well, Brad?" The leader of the group, Lindsay screamed. "What is taking it so long?" Both teams were tied up with black breathable sacks over their heads. Gizmo mumbled so the second girl, Cassey walked over and kicked him squarely in the gut. The third girl, Stacy laughed, but quickly hid it. "E.T.A five minutes!" Brad said (E.T.A Estimated Time of Arrival). "Till then cover the entrances so no one gets up here!"

Raven flew up through the ceiling and rose up at the roof level. "What do we got here?" Raven thought. She saw both teams sprawled out with bags over their heads. "There's our teams, but where are the captors?" She looked over toward the exit. "Bingo!" There they were. Three women were standing by the door with pistols and one shotgun. "Looks like that isn't going to work." Raven caught a glimpse of a Blackhawk helicopter in the distance. "I have to tell B!" She quickly dropped back to her new boyfriend. "B," she practically screamed. "They're on the roof! The captors are guarding the way up too."
"What do they have?" BB asked. "Baseball bats, swords?"
"Guns!" Raven said. "One 9mm, a Smith and Wesson, and a 12 gauge shotgun." B lowered his head. "What about from the air?" he asked.
"It'll work better than going through the entrance," she said. Beast Boy reached for his communicator. "Mammoth?"
"What twerp?" Mammoth replied in his usual pissed off style voice.
"We found the teams, but we need your help."
"Where are they?"
"On the roof," Raven said. "They are armed two."
"What do you guys want to do?"
"We are going to go in by air," BB said. "This is where you come in."
"I'm listening!"
"We need you to make a distraction," Raven said. "Think you can bust open that door?"
"To get rid of you two freaks?" Mammoth asked. "I'll take a bullet myself!"
"Newsflash dude," BB said. "You are a freak!" The communicator shut off. "Okay Rae, I'll make a hole for us to get out of…?"
"I have a better idea." Raven grabbed BB's hand and said her usual chant. Suddenly, both of them were surrounded with the black aura. She flew into the side of the building with BB still holding on. When they were outside, Rae dropped him. "Okay, wait until Mammoth holds up his end of the deal." BB morphed into a humming bird so he could hover next to her.
"I'm at the door," Mammoth checked it. "Ready on your call!" Raven looked to the east. The Blackhawk was only moments away. "DO IT!"

"Here it comes!" Cassey cheered. "We are almost home free!" She lowered her shotgun to her side. "I say we drop them at 3000ft!"
"We want one dead," Lindsay screamed. "Not all of them!" We drop them all out in the desert and let them find their way back. They gave us what we needed so why kill them?"
"What about Robin?" Stacy asked. "He never said a word." Suddenly, they heard a knock at the door.
"Who's there?" They asked. They watched in horror as the door smashed open with Mammoth charging through it. "PAYBACK!" The girls looked up to see a giant green bird fly toward them. Before they could move, it morphed into a tiger and pounced on the three girls. "Mammoth!" Raven screamed while fighting Brad. "Grab our teams! NOW!" Mammoth grabbed all unconscious members and took off down the stairway. Beast Boy morphed back human form. "You?" He asked. The three girls grabbed their guns and gave a devilish grin. "If we can't have you," Lindsay said. "Then we don't want anyone else too!" The Blackhawk was hovering over the roof now and Brad was underneath it. "Cut the crap and get in!" he screamed. Lindsay pointed her pistol at his heart and pulled the trigger. "No one tells us what to do!"
"I figured," Beast Boy snickered while glaring at the girls. "We got what we need," Cassey said. "Sooner or later, that other bird is going to get it!"
"Bring it on!" B said. The three girls leapt into the helicopter and took off, leaving the body of their chief security officer. Even though the battle felt like an eternity, it only lasted several minutes. "Our team is safe," Raven panted. "Let's get down there and see how they are."

"We need to start up plan B," Lindsay said over the chopper's engines. "We need to get Raven out alone and vulnerable. Any ideas?"
"What about seeking Control Freak's services?" Cassey asked. "He's known for his videogame technology."
"Get him on the phone," Lindsay said. "Tell him his reward will be great for helping us."
"You got it!"
