-For @WallyandDick . Don't worry, the other two prompts are coming!"


"My aunt loves that show. I don't really get it, though." 

"Eh, it's pretty okay. But I missed The cast from the original series."  Dick and Wally were discussing the show: Stargate; Atlantis. They'd reached the conclusion that it's fun to watch if a friend or family member has a boxset.

"The girl in the original cast was like... I wanted ner to adopt me." Wally confessed. Dick laughed.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh just this weird show. It has like five seasons where the main characters explore other planets and meet alians, and then their next serioupes was in... Atlantis?" It was hard to explain, especially with a Martian and Atlantian in the room.

"Yeah, for the longest time, humans just thought Atlantis was some fictional place, so most of what they say is... probably inncorrect." Dick admitted.

"What do they say?" Kaldur probed, very curious

Both boys were immediately shy to share it with the Atlanyian, but put on an episode. He took notes the entire way through as they tried to explain the context.

"Thoughts?" Wally asked finally.

"Well, Atlantis is underwater..." He started listing aspects of the culture that were either neglected or drastically misrepresented.

"Damn, there must be a LOT of incorrect Atlantis media out there." Wally thought aloud.

"Such as what?" 

"I dunno?"

"Well, there's thst movie; Atlantis." Dick proposed. "I've never actually seen it, but I hear it's good."

"Oh, that's that Disney one, right? Atlantis; the Lost Empire?" Wally asked. "Hell, yeah! That movie is awesome!"

Dick jumped to his feet. "MOVIE NIGHT!"

Artemis wandered in. "Can you keep it down in here?"

"We're showing Kaldur movies about Atlantis."

She snorted. "By that logic, we shoul be showing M'gann XFiles, and those old movies from the sixties."

"What?" M'gann asked, looking up from the kitchen counter.

"You know; The Day Mars Invaded Earth!" She was only kidding, but she saw Wally's eyes grow huge. "NO! We are NOT actually doing that!"

They did.

Kaldur had filled about two whole pages with notes, and had to get up several times to process.

"That was a good movie." Dick stated. "Kaldur, thought?"

He thought through his words carefully. "It's an interesting fictional universe."

"That says a LOT." Artemis joked. "You saying that the city isn't powered by crystals?"

"It's hard to explain."

"and English isn't universally known down under?" She smirked.

"They are very different languages." The team leader assured.

M'gann had joined them on the couch. "What about the Martian ones you were talking about?"

"There are a lot of them." Dick warned. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah!" She exclaimed. "I wanna see what they thought we were like." 

Wally and Dick started looking up old movies. "Okay... But I'm warning you, it's not good." The redhead warned.

"LOOK!" Dick exclaimed. "Teenagers From out Outer Space, 1959!" He exclaimed. He turned to the others, they couldn't see his eyes, but knew he was giving them puppy dog eyes. "WEHAVE TO WATCH IT! PLEASE?"

"Can we?" M'gann asked.

"Yeah, someone uploaded the whole thing to youtube."

"Wait, wait, wait, Listen to this;" Wally started, grinning. "A Youthful Alien's desire for an earthgirl jeopardizes his comrade's invasion plans!"

They burst into laughter. "THAT'S LITERALLY M'GANN AND  CONNER!" Artemis squealed.

"PLEASE!" Dick begged Conner to stay with them to watch. "STAY!"

Wally was still trying to make M'gann laugh, it wasn't hard. "Thrill-crazed space kids blasting the flesh off human!"

"M'GANN!" Artemis joke-scholded. "Are you a thrill-crazed space kid?"

"Are you blasting the flesh off us?"

She choked adorably with laughed. "Well, we sure aren't doing it on purpose!"
