This Noah Adank and the Havarie were efficient and lethal. Though Cyborg tried to leave as Jinx had instructed, he found that the worsening storm was confusing his sensors. The static electricity built up from the lightning forced his sensitive equipment into standby mode, leaving him only his weapons, feet boosters, and sonic cannons. Much of his suit, the man could not control as it knew better what he needed to stay alive.

Cyborg was with a mixture of awe and infatuation as Jinx, the svelte witch, moved from cover to cover expertly mixing the burst fire of her M-16 with perfect hex darts from her delicate fingers. The HIVE knew each other so well that they barely spoke but knew what the other was thinking. The Titan could not retreat, especially as civilians who had not fled the city were in the line of fire.

Two more HIVE teams had converged on Jinx's position, and the concentrated fire was forcing the Havarie back. Cyborg dropped down beside the hex witch crouching behind a parked car and took a mercenary soldier off his feet with his sonic cannon.

"I thought I told you to get out of here," Jinx demanded.

"Storm's too bad. My system is keeping me grounded," he responded. "But I think it's better that I stay. Someone's got to get the civvies out of the way while your team is clearing."

He watched her gorgeous pink eyes as they studied his face. They were a mixture of relief and suspicion, but a bullet round sinking into the car hood made up her mind.

"Set frequency 2934-5. Use this encryption key."

She pulled out her command showed him a QR code that his brain locked, scanned, and applied to the frequency.

"Team," her voice came over his internal speaker. "Google's on the line. He'll be running clean up on the civvies while we suppress."

There was no response but distinctive clicks.

"If you're in a no speak situation, one click for understood, two for repeat, and three for backup."

"Got it."

Jinx gripped her M-16 closer and closed her eyes for a moment. Before Cyborg could check on her, she opened them popped up and opened fire. Flanking left around the vehicle, he moved in tandem with her keeping his eyes peeled for anyone who needs his help.

The cloak had become heavy since it had been saturated in rain, but it was the only thing keeping the deluge out of Raven's eyes. She stood on the roof of the secondary structure of Titan's East looking towards inner Jump City unmoving. Her sensitive hearing had alerted to her what sounded like gunshots, but now the Typhoon was too loud to hear anything more.

The East Titans had built their tower in the side of a mountain that faced towards her own home. It was not quite a tower as it used the mountain face for its height. It was a more secure location and the reason Robin had decided to come here to weather out the storm.

"What's up?"

Raven turned to look at Bumblebee who had come up the rooftop access but stayed inside out of the rain.

"I don't know. I think something's wrong. Any word on Cyborg?"

"No, comms are down from the interference of the storm. We're stuck using the old radio to keep up with the news."

Raven cursed under her breath, wishing they were not so reliant on satellites. Not much use when they could not pierce the clouds.

"How's setup?"

"We got a lot of the civilians comfortable inside. Opened two of the rec rooms and converted them over for the kids. We should all be safe here."

Raven looked back out towards the inner city but then out to sea. It was so hard to see, but the twisting in her gut would not go away. Following her instinct, Raven shot into the sky to the top near the Titan's east shut down communications array. She peered hard out to sea, and it took a few more seconds before she realized why it was so hard to see it. The sea was actually much higher.

"Oh, Azar, no."

A tsunami was approaching.

"Booyah!" Cyborg laughed as he grabbed a Havarie and threw him through a window. The pulse cannons continued to fire, but his internal sensors told him the battery was beginning to run low. He only had two or three more minutes of sustained combat before his backup would kick in. That posed a problem. It was the only battery he had left.

Jinx had never left his side. The little witch had even used him as a human shield a few times when she was being shot at.

"The two other HIVE teams are down," her voice came over the comm. Jinx had a slight tremor of fear. "Havarie are still pushing for the downtown."

"I can't raise the main base," Gizmo responded with a short grunt. "We gotta give the Head Mistress an idea of what they are facing."

Cyborg turned a corner and found Jinx throwing her M-16 away and firing hexes at the soldiers who were beginning to flank her. It was the massive form of Adank that got his attention. Somehow he had moved behind her, and she was unaware of the rocket launcher being aimed for her head.

"JINX!"

Cyborg threw himself at the girl throwing power into his rocket boots. He grabbed Jinx around her waist as the rocket missed and detonated by the building. A massive sinkhole opened up, and to the Titan's horror, he was plunging towards it. The final burst of energy had gotten the battery to switch over, but it would not be online fast enough before they entered.

The gaping hole swallowed the two, and he fell until the ground met up with him knocking him unconscious.

Aqualad, Robin, Bumblee, and Raven stood on the secondary structure. The Atlantean had hopped in the ocean to speak with the animals and confirmed that a small tsunami was on its way. Small was a joke. It had enough water in it to put the coastline of the city under water except for the highest of skyscrapers.

"You can thank global warming for this," Aqualad grumbled as he folded his arms across his chest.

"Not the time or place, " Robin responded. "I know we can lock down Titan's East so nothing can get in, but we're looking at a lot of damage to the city. Anything we can do?"

"The city built up the, but nobody was ready for this," Raven responded. "This is nature, Robin. She's going to kill us if we don't get out of the way."

Robin did not answer, but that moment of silent gave them a chance to feel the rumble that came from the inner city. Everyone turned to look in that direction.

"That felt like a bomb," Robin said. Of course, he had felt enough of them to recognize the tremor.

"Cy and Speedy are out there," Raven said, concerning filling her voice. "And we can't raise them, so they don't know about the tsunami."

"Starfire and Beast Boy haven't reported in either," Bumblebee said grimly. "The drone sweeps I was running before the weather got too rough did not find anything."

Robin pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking.

"I can't risk more of us into this unknown," Robin said.

"We can't just leave them out there," Raven answered. "We have to try. I'm going to go one way or another, Robin."

"Raven, they're my friends, but if something is happening and you're injured, then that's yet another unaccounted member."

"We have an hour before the wave gets here," Aqualad helped. "if it weren't for her cunning eyes, we wouldn't have this much time. Thirty minutes to do a sweep. I'll go with her. If we're hit by the water, I can protect her. It is my environment."

Robin nodded and immediately, the two heroes took off. The twist in Robin's stomach would not go away.
