Dissolve to a cavern with a large body of water inside. Something approaches the surface from beneath and comes up to reveal itself as the T-Sub, which floats slowly to the shore. Robin and Starfire are the first ones off; they look around in amazement, and Robin lets off a low whistle.

"Beautiful." Said Starfire looking around.

"It's not beautiful!" Cyborg shoots back at Starfire, Cut to him, also on shore. "It's totaled! Aw, man, I never even got to use the seismic blasters!" Said Cyborg feeling hopeless, Raven has debarked now.

"Where are we?" Raven questioned looking around.

"My place." Answered Aqualad.

Cut to another part of the cavern; he rises to the water's surface on the back of a beaching whale. Jumping high and far, he lands on the shore as the marine mammal submerges again.

"I told the whales to bring you here." Aqualad speaks up crossing to Raven.

"Okay...uh...thanks." Raven thanking him and blushing at him.

Starfire pops up.

"Oh, yes, truly, truly, thank you so much for saving us." She said also blushing.

"He saved you?" Said Beastboy leaving the water in his human form. "Hel-lo? I was there too, you know." Said Beastboy making a point.

"You stopped Trident from kebabbing us with that souped-up shrimp fork?" Cyborg questioned widening.

"Way to go!" Robin congratulates him.

Sweat drop on the green temple.

"Well, I was gonna, but..." Said Beastboy as Aqualad crosses to them.

"I'm Aqualad. Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier. We Atlanteans try to keep a low profile." Said Aqualad.

Sarcastically, shaking hands.

"Good job. Don't think anybody even noticed you." Beastboy said laughing a bit.

The girls certainly have. Behind his back, Raven and Starfire are positively smitten; their eyes have become hearts, and more of these float up from them. Raven is first to recover.

"You're from Atlantis?" Asked Raven as he nods.

"And so is Trident." Said Aqualad.

Dissolve to a holographic freeze-frame of Trident blasting the landscape. On the next line, two other scenes come up to replace it; they show him lifting a piece of a marble column he has broken, then firing at fleeing people.

"He's the worst criminal in Atlantis, with an ego to match." Said Aqualad feeling his angry rising.

"A full-figure shot of said criminal now appears, and Aqualad steps into view before it.

"Trident claims he's perfect in every way-" Said Aqualad Pulling back; the Titans are gathered at the projector. "-So he thinks he can do whatever he wants." Aqualad continues as Robin look over at him.

"Any idea what he wants with all that toxic waste?" Asked Robin as Aqualad rub his head.

"Whatever it is, it'll be bad for both our worlds. He's already gained some kind of new power. It's like he can be everywhere at once." He said as the team widen they eyes.

"Noticed that." Replied Raven rolling her eyes.

"As long as we're after the same guy, maybe we can help each other." Aqualad suggested.

"Whoa, hey, no, we're good. Got the whole Trident thing under control. 'Sides, I'm sure there's a school of minnows somewhere that need your-" Said Beastboy pushing Robin and Raven.
