"What are you doing?" Zoom yelled as he sped away from one of Top's attacks, but that only managed to make Black Adam receive the hit instead. "We are all villains here!"

The Top only sneered at the Reverse Flash, aiming yet another attack at him while Captain Cold stunned Black Adam after the magical being finished his stumble backwards.

"No, we-" Weather Wizard yelled, raising his wand up and making a crack of lightning hit Sportsmaster's weapon out of his hand. "are Rogues. And Rogues stick together!"

With those strong words, a storm cloud began to form in the room and suddenly Sportsmaster found himself having to dodge out of the way of rather large chunks of hail that were aimed directly at him.

"And we Rogues don't take too kindly to outsiders muscling their way into our city!" Heat Wave finished then began to chuckle darkly as he hit Cheshire with yet another blast.

This one only managed to scorch the ends of her robe-dress-thing, but it was hot enough to make her yelp and bat away at the flames.

"Guys, come on!" Zoom whined now, white eye lenses drooping slightly as he dodged ice and lightning blasts. "I didn't know you were this territorial! Had I known, I'd just have asked you guys to help!"

While he had been busy screaming, Captain Boomerang had been busy calculating. And when the Aussie finally figured out a pattern to Zoom's movement, he let loose an exploding boomerang, which hit its target. Zoom yelled in pain as the flying weapon made contact with his leg, causing a small explosion to go off and burn through his costume.

"There was no way we'd ever help someone like you!" Boomerang snarled, then turned his attention to Black Adam as the before frozen man finally freed himself. "Now this is a lesson for you all to learn! Flasher and Baby Flasher are the Rogues'! You hurt them, we hurt you!"

Lex Luthor smiled softly as he placed a strand of the red headed boy's hair into a vial, for it would later be analyzed. The young boy on the table was panting heavily and his eyes were closed shut, even though tears managed to escape every once in a while. And his chest... His chest was a mangled mess. Lex Luthor had been thorough in his extraction of information and had even dug to the bone in his ribs.

"I must say, Kid Flash..." The man said as he looked over the teen's chest, looking how the muscle fixed itself. "It is quite fascinating to see your metabolism at work... Just imagine, super soldiers working for me with your healing factor. Why, nobody would dare to try to kill me ever again."

Kid Flash did his best to breathe through the pain as he felt his body try to repair the damage done unto it.

"That's..." Kid Flash gasped suddenly, feeling a new sense of mind numbing pain.

Lex Luthor had decided to shut him up by introducing a scalpel in between two of his ribs.

"Stop! Please!" The boy yelled, tears welling in his eyes once more as the man only chuckled darkly.

"Now who's begging for mercy?" Lex smirked sadistically, "I never thought I'd see the day Kid Flash would be silenced from his annoying quips. I am ecstatic to know that it was I that managed this great accomplishment."

The red head began to hyperventilate as Lex left the scalpel dug inside his body. Would his body heal around it? Would he be handed more pain to get it out afterwards?

Alas, he wasn't given much more time to think because Lex decided to grab a small lighter. "Now, let's see how your body reacts to burns."

The bald man made to place the contraption to the boy's exposed muscle, but a bone chilling voice speaking up stopped him in his tracks.

"I have a better idea. Why don't I see how many bullets I can get into your despicable body before I get tired and decide to do worse things?"

Kid Flash blanched at the threatening voice, hoping it hadn't come from who he thought it had, but when he looked up, he found the one person he had hoped wouldn't have said that. Red Hood stood in front of Mirror Master with his guns aimed at the bald man.

"No..." Wally's eyes widened at the sight then looked at Lex Luthor, who only glared at the two in front of him.

A sigh left the man's lips as he placed the lighter down, "It seems our fun has been cut short, Kid Flash." With that, he pulled the scalpel out of the boy's body, in the harshest manner possible, making a strangled yell leave Wally. "I give you one of two choices, Red Hood. Take your revenge right here and now and risk young Kid Flash here going into shock and possibly bleeding out," A sick grin twisted his face at this, "Or take him with you right now and wait to claim your revenge later on."

Red Hood's eyes narrowed at his words and his fingers tightened around both triggers, as if he was really thinking of shooting him right then and there, but Mirror Master stopped him by placing a hand on his shoulder. "We don't have much time, Red. We have to get Baby and go."

Lex Luthor smirked sadistically as the mercenary lowered his weapons and went to release Kid Flash. The man took off his jacket and wrapped it around the bleeding youth, being as gingerly as possible while Kid Flash did his best to not allow any whines leave him.

The smug billionaire never saw the punch from Mirror Master coming.

As he lay below Mirror Master, the Rogue growled darkly, "You mess with Kid Flash, you mess with the Rogues. Try this stunt one more time, Luthor, and we won't mind breaking a few rules to keep you down."

And in a flash the three were gone, leaving Lex Luthor rubbing at his jaw and spitting blood out of his mouth.

"Cold, come on! We got the kid!"

The sudden yell caught Captain Cold by surprise, but he couldn't help but feel relieved when he turned around to find Mirror Master looking at him through a window's reflection.

"Rogues! We leave now!" He announced, blasting a wall of ice to stand between them and the beaten villains.

The fight had been explosive and dangerous and all Rogues now sported burns from Black Adam's magic and bruises from hard hits from the other three, but they were proud to say they held their own and made the four villains regret ever having agreed to help Lex Luthor hurt their Baby Flasher.

Taking the reprieve from the fighting, Heat Wave, Captain Boomerang, The Top, and Weather Wizard all jumped into the mirror dimension, Captain Cold walking towards while continuing to mount ice on the wall he had created. Then, once Black Adam's fist shattered through the ice, he jumped into the world and ran after his companions.

A sudden bang sounded from Star Labs while the teenagers waited for their saviors to come back and Zatanna felt tears start welling up as she saw explosions start to break apart the Star Labs building. Rocket gasped at the blaze suddenly engulfing the place they had just been held captive in and she turned to Trickster and hugged him to her body, closing her eyes tightly and shaking her head.

Robin fell onto his knees at the fire, his own eyes wide as he looked at the burning inferno. Artemis stayed quiet, but staggered back and hit her back against the wall of the building, slowly falling to bring her knees up to her chest.

They... They couldn't be gone... Not like this.

Sobs began to wrack Zatanna's body and Piper damned villain propriety and wrapped his arms around her, knowing full well how much pain she must be going through at this moment. Hell... He was feeling it right now.

"Wally..." Trickster breathed out, not able to tear his gaze away from the fire.

"They... They were so young..." Rocket couldn't help herself as she started to cry.

The teenagers remained in silence, none daring to say any more as the heaviness of suddenly losing a loved one settled over them. But they had not just lost one person. No, they had lost a team, a brother, and a family. Even though Young Justice didn't know the Rogues, they knew they were quite the team. And even though Trickster and Piper didn't know Young Justice, they knew they could have been great friends.

So they remained in silence at the moment, tears streaming down their faces as the suddenness of the situation hit them.

Or, at least, that was until they heard someone clear their throat.

"Who died?"

Robin was the first to react- because, really, he would know Jason's voice anywhere- and he looked at the spot Mirror Master had brought them to some minutes ago. There stood the men that had come to save them, along with what was left of their team.

"Bro!" Robin yelled, and suddenly Jason found himself with his arms full of a young bird.

One by one the saddened teens looked at the spot and their sadness turned into relief upon finding each and every person they had previously thought were gone from their lives.

"You're alive!" Trickster cheered, but didn't run and instead stayed hugging Rocket, deciding she was too... Well, he didn't know what she was, but he knew it felt good to hug her.

"Why wouldn't we be?" Captain Boomerang griped, taking a step towards the two teenage Rogues.

"There's no time for warm reunions." Captain Cold growled, though, stopping the Aussie from going to the two teens. "Baby's hurt and he needs help."

In no time both teams and Red Hood were inside the bio-ship, flying as fast as the ship could go towards the nearest Zeta Station.
