Neha felt something dragging her downwards but had no idea what it was but at least she was relieved that the water squirting serpent was gone. She wondered where she was going to land and no matter how hard she tried to regain her flight, all efforts were in vain. She keeps falling and creating a fire tornado to burn anything that nears her as she lands. She landed in a forest like a meteor, wiping out most of the trees and grass that she hit due to her fire tornado. "Ugh! What a rough landing." She muttered as she picked herself up. She looked around and saw that most of the trees and plants in the area were burnt. "Where am I this time?" She asked confused.

Rachel kept falling for seemed to be a very long time. It felt like she was stuck there and might fall forever. Just as her fate seemed sealed, THUD! She hits ground. "Uuuh! Damn." She lifts her head up slowly to look around. She was in a forest and it was already nightfall. She was weak and it felt like two or three days have gone by already and she hasn't eaten anything. She puts her hands on the ground, though they were shaking, she forced herself to stand once again. The monsters that fell with her weren't with her, they must've vanished. She was wounded pretty badly and left a trail of blood as she trudges through the forest hoping to see something to eat or drink.

"Ugh! What happened?" Cyborg asked as he woke with the rest dizzy. "Aaah! Dud you're naked!" He screamed when he saw Gar lying on the floor naked.

"What?" Gar slowly gets up. "Holy fuck I'm naked!" He yells and covers his genitals with his palms. "Guys... Why are we in a cage?" He asked as soon he realized they were locked up.

"What the... We're in a cage! What's going on?" Cyborg freaked out.

"Titans, you're finally awake." Father Blood said from a distance and walked up to the cage. He hits a button on a remote in his pocket and a shaft opens up at the top of the cage and clothes fell through. "Put that on changeling."

"It's Beast boy!" Gar corrected him.

"Beast boy? That sounds too childish." Father Blood replied. He pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the Titans with a glass of red wine. He adjusts his lenses and, chuckles and sips the wine.

"Father Blood, what do you want?" Dick asked as he stood up within the cage.

"H-How many times have you asked me this question today? I-I mean what's wrong with you?" He hits his forehead in annoyance. That is what the Titans do; they basically annoy you to death unintentionally. "Hey where are the girls on your team?" He asked afraid that they might come to their rescue.

"They're not here. Kori's out of space and Rachel is missing. So can we do this another time?" Dick replied with an annoyed face. Father Blood bursts into laughter.

"I have to say I'm kinda glad they're not here. The little girl scares me the most." He said, "So without the girls on your team, you guys are a wreck!" He yells and bursts into laughter again. Cyborg quickly tries to cut through the bars of the cages but gets electrocuted.

"Ouch!"

"If I were you I would keep away from the bars okay?" He laughs again and exits the room. They were definitely going nowhere. Gar gets dressed immediately and they try to brainstorm an idea out of the cage.

"Water!" She exhaled weakly, dragging herself through the forest. The soil cuddled up at the top of her shoe as she kept going. Suddenly she hears the sound of water hitting against rocks. It sounded like a waterfall. "Water!" She yelled in excitement and ran with all the strength she had towards the direction of the sound. There were trees, vines and roots blocking her from passing through and she could see the waterfall up ahead. She would have to go around the forest to get to it or find a way through the vines and trees. "Water!" She muttered in rage as her eyes turned red and the goo emerges once more slicing through the vines and flings the trees out of her way. She crawled up to the river that flowed from the waterfall with her eyes still glowing red and the goo behind her. She drank like she hasn't seen water in years. She devoured it.
