The city skyline glows orange under the setting sun.
Wind whips across the rooftop.
And Titan is waiting.
The mayor hangs suspended from a steel cable behind him, unconscious but alive.
Titan checks the clock on his wrist.
"…Three minutes late, Ray."
A voice answers from behind him.
"Traffic."
Titan smiles slowly.
Captain Man steps onto the rooftop.
Kid Danger beside him.
Christina right behind them.
Titan's eyes immediately lock on her.
"…There she is."
Ray steps forward.
"You wanted me. I'm here."
Titan tilts his head.
"You brought the weakness."
Christina rolls her eyes.
"Original insult."
Henry mutters quietly—
"…I like her."
Ray shoots him a look.
Focus.
Titan spreads his arms.
"You remember when we used to do this together?"
Ray's jaw tightens.
"…Don't."
Titan laughs softly.
"You were the hero. I was the muscle."
Ray steps closer.
"You chose this."
Titan's voice suddenly sharpens.
"No. YOU chose."
The wind howls louder.
Titan points at Christina.
"You chose the city over your family."
Christina stiffens.
Ray's voice drops.
"Leave her out of this."
Titan smiles wider.
"I can't."
Suddenly—
He presses a device.
Metal cables explode from the rooftop.
Snapping around the building.
A massive electric cage slams down.
Trapping all of them.
Charlotte's voice crackles through the communicator.
"GUYS—THE ROOF JUST GOT SEALED!"
Schwoz shouts in the background.
"He trapped the entire structure!"
Henry mutters—
"…Great."
Titan grins.
"The trap was always the plan."
Ray's eyes narrow.
"You always liked theatrics."
Titan lunges.
Fast.
Ray blocks.
The impact shakes the rooftop.
Henry jumps into the fight.
Christina follows.
Ray shouts—
"Stay back!"
Christina ignores him.
She ducks under Titan's arm.
Punches.
Hard.
Titan barely flinches.
"…Impressive."
He throws her aside.
Henry catches her before she hits the ground.
"You okay?"
She nods.
"Yeah."
Ray and Titan slam into the rooftop again.
The fight is brutal.
Old partners who know every move.
Titan laughs mid-fight.
"You trained her already?"
Ray growls—
"She trained herself."
Titan's eyes flick toward Christina again.
"…Good."
That moment—
Is the mistake.
Titan throws a flash device.
White light explodes.
Henry yells—
"Christina!"
When the light fades—
She's gone.
Ray's heart stops.
"…Where is she."
Titan smiles.
Behind him—
Christina hangs suspended by a magnetic restraint cable.
Trapped.
Ray's voice turns lethal.
"Let her go."
Titan shakes his head slowly.
"No."
Christina struggles against the restraints.
"…This is annoying."
Henry moves forward—
But electric arcs crackle across the floor.
Blocking him.
Titan looks at Ray.
"This is what it felt like."
Ray whispers—
"…Don't do this."
Titan gestures toward Christina.
"You're the strongest man in the world."
Then—
He presses another button.
The rooftop starts collapsing.
Metal beams tearing loose.
Sirens blaring across the city.
Titan smiles calmly.
"You save her…"
He gestures toward the falling building across the street.
"…or you save them."
Ray turns.
The neighboring building is collapsing.
Hundreds of people inside.
Henry's voice shakes.
"…Ray."
Christina sees the panic in Ray's eyes.
And suddenly—
She understands.
The same choice.
The one that started all of this.
Her voice is calm.
"…Go."
Ray looks at her.
"No."
She forces a smile.
"Dad."
The word hits him like a bullet.
"Go save them."
Henry shouts—
"We'll get her!"
Ray hesitates.
For the first time in his life—
Captain Man is frozen.
Christina whispers—
"…Please."
Ray's chest tightens.
Then—
He launches off the roof.
Flying toward the collapsing building.
Titan watches him go.
Satisfied.
Henry glares.
"You're a psychopath."
Titan looks at him calmly.
"No."
He gestures toward Christina.
"I'm teaching him."
Christina rolls her eyes.
"…Your lesson sucks."
Titan chuckles.
Then—
He presses another button.
The restraints tighten.
Henry shouts—
"HEY!"
Titan steps closer to Christina.
"You're stronger than he thinks."
Christina smirks.
"Obviously."
Titan leans closer.
"Let's see how strong."
The rooftop begins shaking violently.
Henry whispers to Charlotte through the comm—
"…We're gonna need help."
Charlotte answers instantly—
"Already working on it."
Titan turns back toward Henry.
"…Round two."
Henry cracks his knuckles.
"…Cool."
Christina sighs.
"This day has been exhausting."
Titan attacks.
Henry blocks.
The fight explodes again.
And across the skyline—
Captain Man holds up a collapsing building.
Trying to save a city.
While his daughter hangs in the balance.
