"So what is it that you do?" Mammoth bent near the captured toddler and scrutinized her with his blank, uncaring eyes. Farah silently gulped and fidgeted under his gaze. She turned her head and glanced up at her mother.

"Leave her alone. She doesn't have powers." Raven lied.

Mammoth hummed in acknowledgment but still kept his gaze on Farah. "That's disappointing." He turned around. "We're gonna' have to charge less for the kid then, Jinx."

"That's alright. I'm sure someone will find good use of her. Maybe she could be a test dummy or someone could train her to be a fighter." Jinx slowly strode to Farah and glanced down at her with an evil grin. "Or serve her to some hungry alligators that will tear her limbs off piece by piece." A laugh escaped her pale lips when tears fell down the toddler's chubby cheeks and her body trembled.

Raven snarled up at Jinx and pulled at her straps to attack, but she faced sharp bolts of electricity race throughout her body. She yelped then sat still, waiting for the pain to wave off.

"Quit moving." Gizmo hollered. "Those restraints aren't going to loosen up anytime soon. They're indestructible."

Raven scoffed at his prideful comment then turned her head. She muttered a "whatever", not believing for a second that these restraints were indeed that strong. She relaxed when Jinx stopped talking to Farah and turned back to the computer monitors. Raven saw the many tears streaming down Farah's soft face and her silent sobs. Her small chest heaved with each gasping hiccup she made and her little hands were shaking.

Raven leaned as far as the straps would let her then whispered to Farah. "Don't cry, ok? I'll make sure they won't hurt you."

Farah glanced up at her mother and whispered back. "I'm scared, Mommy."

"Stop talking!"

Farah quickly shut her mouth and snapped her head forward in a heartbeat. More tears rolled as she tried not to cry again. Raven snarled in Mammoth's direction then sat up straight. There was no point of consoling Farah at this point. The toddler was too scared to look at anyone.

Raven's mind wandered to her team. She hoped they received her call and were on their way to finding them.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos.." Nothing. Raven sighed. She hoped that some form of her powers still resided inside of her so that she could mentally communicate with Robin or break the straps. She felt useless at the mercy of the H.I.V.E. She observed the area around her. She wasn't sure where they were. They blindfolded her and Farah before bringing them to this unknown location. Raven tried to find any crack or hole that could be used for escape but there was nothing. If the Titans weren't able to aid her in time, then she would have to fend for herself and Farah.

"Get up." Mammoth undid the straps and forcefully pulled Raven up from the seat through her upper arms. She winced in pain but continued walking. See More undid Farah's straps and pulled her along with him. His grip on her wrist was too tight and she didn't like it at all. Farah used her free hand to wipe the tears from her face. She remembered her mother's advice and tried her very best not to cry.

"Everyone's coming. Wykkyd, Gizmo, go let them in. Mammoth and See More, keep your eyes on them." Jinx turned back to the computer monitor and opened the surveillance cameras.

Criminals of all types were entering the arena. Jinx glanced at each one. Control Freak, Professor Chang, Puppet King, Dr. Light, Johnny Rancid, Red X, Adonis and Mad Mod were the first to arrive, but there were a lot more coming in. Far too many for Jinx to count in one sitting. She smiled and squealed in delight like a corky schoolgirl. Her eyes gawked at one of the monitors when she noticed a secretive Slade enter through one of the back doors and hide in the dark. "This is the best turnout!"


"Any leads?''

Cyborg huffed then turned to Beast boy. "If you ask me one more time, I'll punch you in the face."

Beast boy shut his mouth and sat quietly in the passenger seat. He looked at the clock and fidgeted. It was 11:50 PM. Only a couple more minutes until the bid started, yet they were still with no luck on finding them. He and Starfire searched all over Jump, but it was to no avail. Cyborg spent most of his time trying to track the signal, but it was blocked by a powerful firewall. Cyborg understood Gizmo's style, but he has gotten better over the years.

Robin parked his motorcycle next to the T- car and took off his helmet. Starfire loosened her grip on Robin's torso and leaned back. He turned to Cyborg who was still working hard on tracing the video. "I almost have it."

He nodded. "Good."

Cyborg's face lit up. "Got it!"

Everyone leaned in, ready to hear his coordinates.

"They're in an underground arena," Cyborg said. "Due west, right below the abandoned warehouses on the lakefront."

Beast boy stepped out of the car and morphed into a pterodactyl. He used his large wings to fly high and fast into the air. Starfire flew and chased after Beast boy while Cyborg and Robin followed behind with their vehicles.


"Hey, idiots! I need your help getting these villains checked in." Gizmo walked up to Mammoth and See More. The two men glanced up at each other, debating on what to do because they still had their captives in hand. See More shrugged then pushed Farah in Mammoth's direction.

"She's just a kid." See More said with a chuckle. "I'm sure you can handle it. I'll be right back."

Mammoth groaned and watched as See More and Gizmo walked away. He turned to Raven and Farah then pushed them inside a vacant room that was around the corner of the hallway. He slammed the door shut behind them and kept guard on the outside, waiting for See More to return. He crossed his arms and leaned against the metal door, listening to the heavy footsteps and chatter of the many people in the arena.

Raven looked around the dark room and exhaled. It was a simple boxed room with a hanging light bulb in the center that flickered so often. Raven looked down at her cuff. They were similar to the ones Starfire was entrapped in when she first came to Earth, except her hands were free. It was heavy on her forearms, but she made good use of them.

Raven knelt to Farah and inspected her face and body with her hands. Thankfully, there wasn't much damage. She had minor cuts and scrapes, but she was fine. Farah was in her nightgown so she shivered from the cold.

"Are you ok?"

Farah nodded her head and hugged her mother. "Where are we? Who are they? I wanna' go back home. I want daddy."

Raven hushed Farah when she started to cry again. "Calm down. These are the bad people that I told you about." She whispered. "But we'll be alright. Follow everything they say so that you don't get hurt."

Farah curled to her mother. "Is daddy going to save us?"

Raven paused for a moment then forced a smile to hopefully reassure her. "Yeah. I'm sure he and the others are on their way right now."

Noises were heard outside the door and Raven tensed. She turned to Farah and whispered. "They don't know that you have powers, so you're going to surprise them."

Farah stood back and shook her head. "No! I don't have my powers anymore. I can't change!"

Raven brought her cuffed hands to her lips. "Shh!" Farah quickly closed her mouth and mumbled a sorry. "I know that you haven't used them in a while, and it's my fault. I should have listened to your father and had you practice, but Farah, you have to try. You can escape."

"Mommy, I don't want to be alone," Farah whined. "I want to stay with you."

Raven rose to her feet and searched the room even further. She was disappointed to see no window. She sighed. "They really planned ahead this time."

The door opened, letting Mammoth and See More walk in. See More had a small pair of cuffs in his hand then walked towards Farah to restrain her, but Raven stepped in front of him.

"Stay away from her." She said menacingly.

See More chuckled. "Witch, you're not going to do anything to me." He tried to push Raven away, but she intercepted and kicked him hard in the groin. See More puffed and fell to his knees, holding his damaged delicates.

Mammoth stepped in and dashed to her. He raised his arms over his head and brought them down on her. Raven jumped to the side and backed Farah into the corner before running to fight him. Her hands were barred by her power cancellation cuffs, but she could take him. Robin's training didn't completely go to waste.

Raven squeezed herself through the space between Mammoth's large legs before he could hit her. While he was still standing forward, she used the heavy cuffs to slam them down on his back. He fell forward, his face hitting the wall in a painful smack. Raven smirked and gestured for Farah to follow her. Farah quickly ran from the corner, but she fell when Mammoth grabbed her ankle. He slowly rose to his knees and looked down at her angrily. Farah tried to pull her leg from his grasp. Mammoth winced from the soft stinging of her foot hitting his freshly bruised face, but he continued to move her body closer. Raven ran to help, but Mammoth waved his arm around his body, hitting Raven in the process.

Farah smacked and clawed at his hand, but he only snickered at her futile attempts. Farah closed her eyes and stayed still, trying to morph. Mammoth looked at her confused. He brought his hand over to grab her arm. Raven rose to her feet again and smashed her heavy cuffs down on Mammoth's head. He groaned in pain then fell limp onto the floor. Farah pulled her limb from his hand and stumbled back.

Raven ran to the exit with Farah following behind.


"So many felons in one sitting." Starfire said in awe as she stared at the large underground arena that was crowded with their enemies.

"This is like the Brotherhood of Evil all over again," Cyborg said with a tired exhale.

"We can't fight them all. We are surely outnumbered." Starfire started.

"And we don't have time to wait for backup." Cyborg finished. He sighed and rubbed a tired hand over his bald head. He didn't think he had the energy to fight the large sea of villains.

"Then we won't fight them." Robin used his binoculars and looked closer at the small boxed room above the filled seats. "We'll search for Raven and get her out of here before anyone will notice."

Starfire and Cyborg nervously glanced at each other after hearing Robin's plan; it didn't sound concrete. Starfire opened her mouth to voice her opinion but Beast boy intervened.

"Sounds good to me." Beast boy ran to find an entrance, but Robin swiftly held him back.

"Hold on!" He impatiently said.

"Good Morning, felons of Jump City!"

The Titans silenced when they heard Jinx's voice through the loudspeakers. Beast boy balled his fists in anger as he listened.

"12:00 AM," Cyborg said. "Right on cue."

"As you all know, we easily captured Raven from the Teen Titans and her precious little daughter."

Beast boy stepped forward, his anger boiling over now. He fought the urge to simply turn into a jaguar and search for Raven himself and shut the pink haired woman up.

"We're selling her and would appreciate a nice amount. You could buy them separately or together. It's all up to you. Simply have your money ready."

Jinx glanced back at her teammates. She scowled when she only saw Gizmo, Billy, and Wykkyd. "Where the hell are the merchandise?"

The men looked at each other then shrugged their shoulders. Jinx covered the microphone with her hand before yelling. "Get up and go look for them!"

They shook their heads and said incoherent complaints before walking out the door.

Jinx sighed and rubbed her face before turning back to the microphone. "I'm sorry, guys. There's a bit of an inconvenience at the moment, but we will start the bidding at $50,000. Anyone?"

Robin turned to his team. "Now's our chance. Raven is probably fighting them off as we speak. We have to find a way inside.''

"There's a back door. We could go in through there."


Raven turned the corner in a hallway and looked around. There were different doors, all to which she had no clue where they led. She kicked open one and looked inside. There was nothing but another dark boxed room with a flickering light. She kicked the one across the hallway and sighed as it was another empty room.

"Where's the exit?"

"Mommy," Farah patted Raven's leg when she heard footsteps coming from around the corner.

"Shit."

Raven pushed Farah inside one of the empty rooms then quietly shut the door behind them. She used the heavy cuffs to shatter the flickering light in the room, encasing them in pure darkness. They then tightly huddled in the left corner of the room.

When the door opened, Mammoth stuck his head through, giving a light, visual inspection inside. The left corner, lateral to the door, encased Farah and Raven in darkness, and the opened door made it even harder for Mammoth to see them. He mumbled a few curses then closed the door a couple seconds later. He was too lazy to actually walk inside and check the room.

Raven waited until the footsteps and voices disappeared. She cracked the door open then checked to the left then right before walking out. Farah clung to her leg like glue as she walked out.

"Mommy, how are we going to get out of here?"

Raven tried to think of where the exit might be. She knew that they were in an arena, but she didn't expect there to be such a large area behind the stadium. She wished she had Cyborg here to help direct her. "I don't know."


Beast boy walked through the different corridors of the unfamiliar terrain. He opened the new communicator that Cyborg gave him and looked at the blueprint. The arena where all the villains were seated was located at the front. Where he stood now was apparently the back, which consisted of a long building that was conjoined to the boxed area where Jinx was located.

He morphed into a fly and planted himself on the wall when Billy and Wykkyd ran down the hallways, searching all the open areas. He wanted to confine and beat the information out of them, but from the looks of it, they didn't know where Raven was either.

He flew around the corner then morphed back to himself. His communicator vibrated and he opened it. Cyborg's face appeared. "I think I have a lock on Raven and Farah. They're near you, but be careful. I'm not positive that it's them just yet."

"Understood."

Beast boy dashed around the corner, following what Cyborg had sent him. He saw two red dots on the communicator that were only two corners away. He moved even faster. As he ran, his body transformed into the Beast. His heavy heart began to beat faster, and his adrenaline levels rose. He was ready to inflict pain.

The Beast staggered back when a body was forcefully slammed against the opposite wall. He roared when he saw that it was Raven. He raced to her and stared at her unconscious form. His warm nose lightly grazed the side of her face as he assessed her injuries. He noticed the restraints and tried to pull them off, but they were locked in and sealed shut. The Beast's white, pupilless eyes squinted with anger. He craned his head and stared into the angry pink eyes of Jinx.

Jinx used a strong arm to bind Farah close to her. Her hands were encased in pink fiery hexes that inched dangerously close to Farah's head.

"You Titans really know how to ruin a party."

The Beast growled and staggered forward, ready to strike.

Farah stared into the blank eyes of the Beast. His loud growls and roars scared her. The dark green fur showed her that it was her father, but she never saw him turn into an animal so big and scary looking. Farah wanted to say something; she wished she could.

Jinx snapped her fingers. Billy and Wykkyd appeared behind her, ready to attack and defend. Beast growled even louder, unphased by their appearance. Wykkyd and Billy ran forward. Beast boy sprinted, extending his claws in the process. Billy multiplied into ten replicas and pounced on the animal. The Beast growled and peeled the men off, throwing their bodies like insignificant objects. Wykkyd created a black portal underneath the Beast's feet but he stealthily jumped out of the way and landed on top of the dark villain. He extended his clawed hand to damage his face.

Farah silently yelped in fear and tried to turn her head to avoid seeing her father potentially murder Wykkyd.

Beast stopped when Jinx gained his attention. She generated a fireball appearance of her pink hex that was even larger than the palm of her hand then brought it close to Farah's temple. Her eyes turned a bright pink and her hold on Farah tightened. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Beast growled once more and took a step forward, but Jinx stopped him. "Don't get any closer...Morph back." She said sternly.

Beast stared into her pink orbs for a long moment before slowly reversing back into Beast boy. Farah stared in awe then relaxed to see her father in his normal form. She smiled softly, happy to see the familiar face of her father.

"What is wrong with you!?" He screeched. "I never thought I would see you and these halfwits do something like this."

"Then believe it!" She growled. "These two are our ticket to money and respect from all the other villains here. I'm not going to have you ruin that for us."

Billy and Wykkyd rose to their feet and surrounded Beast boy. Billy kicked the back of the changeling's knees, easily subduing him.

"Keep a look out for the rest." Jinx walked away, dragging Farah with her.


Beast boy pulled at his restraints then snarled at Wykkyd. Wykkyd didn't flinch at all. He only tightened his grip on Beast boy while Billy hoisted the unconscious Raven over his shoulders. They followed Jinx towards the communication area. Farah struggled to keep up with the fast pace of Jinx. At moments, she would nearly trip, aggravating Jinx. Farah glanced back at Beast boy. She opened her mouth to say something, but Jinx tugged her arm forward, forcing Farah to continue looking forward. Jinx opened the door and pushed them all inside. Gizmo looked up from the sudden burst. He paused the bidding and looked at Jinx.

"How's it going?"

Gizmo smiled and raised his thumbs up in her direction. "Goin' good! We got a bid of $100,000 and it keeps on going."

"Great."

"Make a discount on the kid. She doesn't have any powers, but she's open for any new learning. Just like we said earlier. Right?" Jinx brought her face close to Farah's and smiled wickedly. Farah didn't say anything. She only whimpered and pulled away as far as she could.

Wykkyd and Billy left to find the rest of the Titans. Gizmo sat in his chair, typing away on the computer while Jinx kept her focus on the antsy crowd.

Raven stirred. Beast boy looked down at her with care and scooted closer. When her eyes fluttered open, he smiled, happy to see that she was still alive. Raven looked around, confused and disoriented, but when she saw Beast boy, she felt her body unwind. She gave him a small smile and leaned in. If her hands weren't bound together, she would certainly give him a hug. "What's going on?"

Beast boy sighed and raised his cuffed forearms for her to see. "Got caught."

Farah saw the interaction but she kept her mouth shut to prevent Jinx from noticing. Raven glanced at Beast boy again. "How are we going to get out of this?" She whispered.

Beast boy exhaled and glanced around him for anything that could take off the restrictions. Jinx and Gizmo were paying no attention to them in the back, which made things easier. "Think you can reach into my belt and pull out my communicator?"

Raven stared at his utility belt. She glanced back up at Gizmo and Jinx who still kept their attention forward. She inched her body close to his and brought out his yellow communicator.

Farah stared but she noticed Gizmo look up from his computer screen and glanced back at Raven and Beast boy. She tensed.

"Um, what does this do?" Farah pulled away from Jinx and touched Gizmo's laptop. She randomly tapped on the keys, distracting the evil genius.

Gizmo quickly looked down at the toddler and scrunched his face. "Get off you twerp! Don't touch my stuff." He used his hand to push Farah back to Jinx. "Watch her, will ya!"

Jinx glanced down at Farah then rolled her eyes. "Why won't you stay still!?" She tugged Farah's wrist again and brought her closer.

Raven smiled back at her daughter, giving her silent thanks then pushed the red distress button, sending their teammates the exact location.

It was only minutes now until the team showed up to their rescue.

Beast boy nodded his head in Farah's direction as well, proud of her quick thinking. He glanced down at Raven when Gizmo stared at them again.

"Going once, going twice, sold to Brother Blood for $185,000!"

Beast boy and Raven tensed. Farah looked back at her parents with fear. She tried not to cry, but it was getting really hard not to. Jinx moved and lead Farah to the door.

Jinx turned to Raven and smirked. "Oh, good; you're up. Say goodbye to your little girl, Rae Rae."

"No!" Raven sprang to her feet and ran to stop Jinx, but she came to an abrupt halt when Gizmo shot a net in her direction, binding her ankles together. She fell hard onto the floor.

Jinx yanked Farah's arm unkindly and opened the door to leave.

A blue blast from a cannon hit her square in the chest, causing her to collide into Gizmo. Cyborg walked in with a confident grin on his face and his cannon aimed. "You ain't gonna' sell my niece to nobody!"

He knelt next to Beast boy and Raven to take off their restraints. One by one, the heavy metals fell to the ground with a heavy thud. Robin and Starfire entered soon after. Once Cyborg freed her ankles, Raven rose to her feet and brought Farah in her arms before Jinx or Gizmo could take her again.

"We have to get out of here." Beast boy gestured towards the door and the team quickly made haste to leave. They didn't want to wait around to fight the copious amount of enemies.

Jinx pushed Gizmo off of her and used her powers to hit Raven. She fell to the ground, making her involuntarily drop Farah.

Farah rose to her feet and followed the rest of the team out the door but the earth beneath her caved in, trapping her legs.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

Raven's black power crawled to Jinx, but she dodged it by creating a force field with her own pink hexes. She raised her free hand and entrapped Raven in a bubble like prison. "You're not going anywhere!"

Farah pulled at her legs to free herself. She looked back up at the Titans, but they were now busy fighting the rest of the H.I.V.E. members in the corridor. She whimpered when Jinx strode closer.

Beast boy jammed himself through the wave of Billy's and entered the booth again. He turned into a bull and dashed to ram into Jinx, but she waved her hand and Beast boy was sent flying back.

"Farah, get out of there!" Beast boy screamed.

"I can't!" She screeched. Jinx was getting closer and her fears were getting the best of her. She clawed at the ground around her to hopefully pull herself out, but her legs were jammed between rocks.

"Yes, you can. Morph into something small. Just like we practiced."

Farah sighed. She truly believed that her ability to morph has disappeared over time, but she had to try. Farah stopped clawing and closed her eyes, picturing the small animals she could replicate into. Jinx grabbed Farah's arm and pulled her back. "She doesn't have powers, you ass!"

Jinx glanced down then gasped when Farah shed her bodily form to transform into a small bee. Jinx stared with widened eyes when the insect slowly flew away from her. She reached to catch Farah in her hand, but she was too late. Beast boy extended his arms and the bee flew straight into his cupped palms. He smiled and looked down at the small yellow bee. "I told you. Your powers didn't go anywhere."

Raven broke free from Jinx's hold and used her powers to punch Jinx hard in the face. Jinx fell back and slid down the wall in pain, holding her throbbing cheek. Raven smirked before running out the door to Beast boy and Farah.

Robin sent the final hit to the last H.I.V.E. member and gestured for his team to follow. "Let's move!''
