Black Manta drug Aquaman into the water.

He began swimming rapidly down towards an underwater colony, somewhat similar to Atlantis.

He had Arthur's arm in his hand.

"Where are you taking me?" Aquaman asked Manta.

"My Atlantis." Black Manta responded.

"Your Atlantis? What the hell are you on?" Aquaman asked jokingly.

They were descending rapidly in the water towards a giant air bubble.

There was a whole civilization within the huge, technologically advanced air bubble

There was a whole civilization within the huge, technologically advanced air bubble.

"How?" Aquaman asked.

"How what?" Black Manta asked.

"How did you do this?" Aquaman responded.

"Turns out there is such a thing as white slaves." Black Manta said as he chuckled lightly.

They entered the bubble through a narrow tunnel.

They were now inside the bubble, heading towards the prison.

"Where are you taking me?" Aquaman asked.

"Where do you think? Where would Batman take the Joker before he killed him?" Manta asked.

Arthur didn't respond.

"Uh, Arthur it's prison. God, you've got to get out more." Black Manta remarked.

"Wait, is that who that was?" Aquaman started. "That man dressed like a bat?"

"Yes, Arthur. Bat-Man. It's literally in the name." Manta replied.

"Dressed like a bat. I dig it." Aquaman remarked as he smirked.

"Enough of your retarded gibberish. Get in your cell." Black Manta ordered as he pointed to a cell in front of the both of them.

Arthur walked into the cell in his handcuffs, and sat on the narrow bench in the cell.

Black Manta and his guards walked away.

Arthur looked at the ground and saw some puddles of water.

He set his hands in the puddle, absorbed the water into his body, and formed a small knife out of the water. The water he formed the knife out of was frozen, so it didn't just disintegrate.

He slipped the small knife into the lock on the handcuffs, and undid them.

"Mera? Mera can you hear me?" Aquaman said quietly over his comm.

"Arthur? Thank God, my king. Are you okay? What happened?" Mera asked over the comm.

"I'm fine. Look, some Atlantis fanatic by the name of Black Manta abducted me and now I'm trapped in a giant underwater air bubble with a ridiculously advanced city." Arthur explained quickly.

"Wh- what?" Mera asked confused.

"Look, I'm sending you my coordinates. Come rescue me and bring a few Atlantean guards just in case. I want this to be quiet. I don't want a war on our hands. Not yet at least." Arthur said.

"Got it. And I got your coordinates. We're on our way." Mera said.
