"Faster. They should be arriving in less than ten minutes!" Megan shouted at her friends. She really got into this whole 'party making'. They didn't know she could be this commanding.

"I am doing my best." Robin shouted back as he jumped from one stalagmite to another, attaching balloons.

Kaldur walked to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "M'gann. Calm. Down. Take a deep breath." The martian did as told and looked around. "It really looks great. I appreciate what you are trying to do here, but maybe let's not overextend..."

"You are right. Forgive me. It's just that..." She trailed off. "MY COOKIES!" She screamed and flew to the kitchen, only to meet with Conner who pulled the hot baking sheet with his bare hands.

"Got that covered for you." He sent her an apologetic smile when she noticed one missing. "What? I deserved a reward for saving all of them..."

Seeing the two together somehow warmed up both Robin and Kaldur. At least two aliens had each other.

Dick hated to interrupt the two love birds. "I think we should get to the main room and great them."

The team followed boy wonder to the main chamber. They were walking past the garage when a large wave of water hit them, knocking all four of them out.

Garth and Tula were both overjoyed that they would be joining a team of superheroes. Even more that they would be working side by side with Kaldur, their best friend. The zeta beam teleported them straight to the Cave where they would be staying. Two Atlanteans were greeted by flames and smoke all around them. From the shadows came more red-hot flames, but both teens managed to dodge it. Two aspiring superheroes managed to dodge all of the incoming attacks until wave of concentrated water hit them in the back. If they were land-dwellers, this amount of pressure would knock them out, but Atlantean physiology was accustomed to such conditions and they were merely pushed back.

"We are sitting ducks here!" Tula screamed. "Fighting here is pointless."

Garth silently nodded. HE watched as Tula focused her inner magic into a spell. Soon enough the splashed water all turned into mist and flew around them, covering them head to toes and making all visual based forms of tracking inefficient. The spell was designed to fool all types of sight, including heatvision, x-ray vision and ultraviolet vision. Taking advantage of the cover, both teens run toward the exit doors. Taking random turns once in a while to make it harder to be tracked. They were actually surprised with amount of narrow passages in there. Growing up in Atlantis where most corridors were wide and tall to accommodate for swimming, it was a bit claustrophobic for Tula. Garth also felt strange, but he shrugged it off. They were running not swimming.

Finally, after yet another turn they got into living area. In some places there were soaked or burned party decorations or popped balloons. The baking sheet laid on the ground surrounded by crushed, wet cookies.

"What happened here?" Garth whispered in the air.

"I don't know." She then pointed to computer panel on the wall. "Maybe we can access camera feed from there and get some information." Garth walked over and started to type something.

"No good. Password locked. And of course we weren't given access codes yet. That won't do."

"So what now?" Tula was starting to get worried. If they had no way of using the computer, they couldn't call for help. Two Atlanteans didn't even have their stuff yet, because it was scheduled to be brought there the next day.
