Synopsis for "Dead Reckoning!"

This story is reprinted from Teen Titans Giant #3 and Teen Titans Giant #4.

Starfire states that the Fearsome Five will kill the Teen Titans if they don't perform to the best of their abilities. As the Titans battle them, the Disruptor starts preparing the toxin so it can be released into the city. Robin throws his batarangs at Gizmo but the latter stops them by using magnets. Beast Boy takes the form of a rhinoceros but struggles to overpower Mammoth. Raven meanwhile gets attacked by Psimon who flings the debris around them at her, though she teleports away. Starfire fires warning shots at Shimmer who turns it into gas which suffocates the former.

As a H.I.V.E. leader complains about the Fearsome Five taking too long to defeat the Teen Titans, the Disruptor assures him that they'll soon win. The Titans soon start being overpowered and Disruptor tells the H.I.V.E. the toxin will be ready soon. Some of the members of the organization however object against distracting the Titans and prefer to move on to their real goal. The director tells them to have faith, stating that the distraction will soon allow them to have a new base that no one will be able to take over and their fleet is ready to attack as well.

Tim meanwhile tells the other Titans that they're not going to achieve anything and tells them to retreat. As the other Titans start getting the civilians out of the harm's way, Robin tells Starfire to focus on them instead of fighting Shimmer who is unable to see after getting quicksand in her eyes, which she was using to drown Kory. Starfire realize she made a mistake by focusing more on the fight and rescue a civilian drowning in the quicksand while Raven teleports the toxin preparation unit away from Disruptor. It's however revealed that Psimon fooled the Titans into thinking he had only one unit.

The H.I.V.E. dispatches its attack fleet from New Mexico to attack an island while the Titans are distracted by the Fearsome Five. Raven meanwhile transports the Titans to the Golden Gate bridge and Robin states that they can't go back to fight. He directs the Titans to stop the traffic and not let anyone enter the city. As they wonder whether they might have more devices which could prepare and release the toxin, Robin dispatches Starfire to the highest building in the city in order to check if they do. Starfire confirms and he states that they can't go back on the offensive without a proper plan.

The Disruptor meanwhile tells the Fearsome Five to keep the Teen Titans away from him while he primes the devices for preparing and releasing the toxin. Shimmer telepathically talks to Psimon and states she suspects something is up, with the latter agreeing and stating the Disruptor is preventing him from reading his thoughts with his heightened power. The Fearsome Five soon find themselves under attack by Titans and soon get overpowered. Raven meanwhile is attracted at the idea of unleashing her true power, but fears doing it might send her our of control.

After the Disruptor makes Beast Boy lose his giant ape form, the tide turns in the favor of the Fearsome Five. Raven starts getting angry and unleashes her power just as Disruptor arms the devices which will releases the Toxin upon San Francisco. Robin tells her to stop otherwise the Disruptor will die, but she refuses to listen stating he must pay.
