TV: City on fire! City on fire! City on fire!

HX sits there watching, bobbing his head to the music.

HX: Man, I was really missing out.

Computer: Recognized, Robin, B-0-1, Kid Flash, B-0-3.

They run over to the rest of the team.

Dick: Did you ask him? What did he say?

Kal: He's arriving now.

Wally: Then what are we waiting for?

They huddle around Red Tornado as he lands.

Wally: Red Tornado!

RT: Greetings. Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?

Kal: We hoped you had a mission for us.

RT: Mission assignments are Batman's responsibility.

Dick: But it's been over a week, and nothing -

RT: You'll be tested soon enough. For the time being, simply enjoy each other's company.

Aqualad: This team is not a social club.

RT: No, but I am told social interaction is an important team-building exercise.
Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourself with the cave.

Wally: "Keep Busy." Does he think we're falling for this?

M'gann: Oh, I'll find out.

She tries reading Red Tornado's mind.

M'gann: I'm sorry. I forgot he's a machine, inorganic. I can not read his mind.

KF: Nice try, though. So, uh, you know what I'm thinking right now?

Dick: We all know what you're thinking now.

Kal: And now we tour the clubhouse.

M'gann: Well, Superboy, HX, and I live here. We can play tour guides.

Superboy: Don't look at me.

HX jabs him in his side.

Wally: We won't. A private tour sounds much more fun.

HX: I'd be happy to my swift compadre.

Wally: Is all you speak cowboy stuff?

Kal: Team building. We'll all go.

M'gann: So... This would be our front door... And this would be the back.

HX: The cave is actually the entire mountain.

Wally: It was hollowed out and reinforced. By Superman and Green Lantern in the early days of the League.

Superboy: Then why abandon it for the Hall of Justice?

Kal: The cave's secret location was comprised.

HX: So they traded it in for a tourist trap? How yella of 'em.

Wally: Seriously? Every time you speak.

M'gann: If villains know of the cave, we must be on constant alert.

Dick: The bad guys know we know they know about the place, so they'd never think to look here.

HX: We's be hidin' in plane sight.

M'gann: Ah, that's much clearer.

Superboy: *Sniff sniff* I smell smoke.
