The trip from The Palmer building to wherever they were heading felt like forever to Calypso. They were sitting in the back of a white van that had picked them up at the entrances of the building. Green arrow had decided to take his motorcycle and follow. The only ones that were in the van were her, Leo, the guy in the hockey mask, Mr. Terrific guy, and the one driving the van. She didn't get the chance to meet him, not that it would've changed anything. All she really cared about at the moment was Leo, who seemed to be getting worse by the minute. He was shaking, sweating, his snake bite looked a shade of sickly green. She wished she had her powers, she might be able to do a little bit of magic and at least slow down the poison, but she was mortal, all she could do was manipulate the mist and even that didn't work. He lay beside the guy in the hockey mask, both still unconscious. 

"So, how do you two know each other?" asked Mr.Terrific, his hands intertwined.

"He's my champion." replied Calypso, her eyes focused on Leo. She looked up to see the expression on Mr.Terrifics' face, which showed complete confusion. "What?" she asked.

"I don't quite understand what you mean. He's your champion? So you guys do competitive sports or something? Are you his coach?"

That just completely confused Calypso. "What? I have no idea what you are saying?"

Mr.Terrific leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest, "Huh. So, you have no idea what sports are?"

"Oh good god, Curtis! You're not very good at interrogating are you?" The guy driving the van sounded really irritated.

"Well, its not my fault she doesn't know sports. Everyone knows at least one sport."

Calypso just sat there quietly, just watching them bicker. She was starting to get really angry, they were fighting over something so stupid when they should be focused on getting Leo help. As they continued to fight, her anger snapped. 

"Shut up!"

They both stopped and looked at her, well at least Mr.Terrific did, the other guy was looking ahead. She gave out an irritated sigh, "He's my boyfriend. I believe that's the equivalent to champion for you mortals." 

"Actually, no. Champion is equivalent to winner and boyfriend is equivalent to lover or significant other. Hey, I rhymed!" Mr.Terrific exclaimed, looking quite proud of himself. Calypso rolled her eyes.

"Are we near our destination yet?", Asked Calypso.

"Luckily, we are.", Said the guy driving.

He parked the van and stepped out. From the back she could tell they were in some sort of building.

"Where exactly are we?" She asked

"You're about to find out." Replied Mr. Terrific with a grin.

The back doors opened, reveling a tall, buff guy holding the doors open. It was the guy who was driving. He had in a helmet of some sort that also covered his eyes. He wore all black and had guns strapped to his thighs.

"Help him carry Wilddog and I'll carry you're boyfriend.", he instructed her. 

They were still unconscious, Leo was drooling a little. The guy  in the helmet picked up Leo, bridal style, easily. His head dangling at one side, he mumbled something she couldn't quite understand.

She helped Mr.Terrific guy lift up the guy in the hockey mask. She put one arm around her shoulders while Mr.Terrific put the other over his own shoulders. The guy on the hockey mask was a lot heavier that Calypso expected. She almost fell over with just the sheer weight of his arm around her, and that was with Mr.Terrific helping.
