Who saw that coming? 

Mount Justice

October 31, 19:34 EDT

Wally, dressed up in a werewolf costume, let out a loud howl, trying to get Wolf to join in. Wolf, however, just snored. Wally turned to the canine in exasperation. "Really? You're not going to join in at all? What kind of wolf are you?"

"Wally, stop torturing him." Conner called to the red haired speedster. 

"Hold still please." M'gann asked her the Kryptonian as she wrapped him in toilet paper. 

"Megan, stop torturing him. Awkward for him anyway, being a third wheel on our date." Wally walked over to the duo. 

"Wally, I invited the entire team to the dance. Zatanna too." 

"Good. Keeps us on the down-low." Wally winked. M'gann and Conner exchanged a look. "So, you going as my favorite Martian?"

"Not exactly." She stepped away and shape shifted into a zombie bride, growling.

"Woah. Babe, eat my brains anytime." 

"Ew." Pietro gagged, walking into the cavern in civvies. "Was that supposed to be flirtatious?"

Before Wally could bite back a remark the zeta tubes announced the arrival of both Artemis and Zatanna, dressed as a vampire and a witch, respectively. Artemis turned to the younger girl. "Oh, hey Zatanna. You look great." 

"Oh thanks, you too." Zatanna replied, walking with her to the quartet in the middle of the room. She looked at Pietro in his street clothes. "Where is your costume?"

Pietro flushed red, rubbing the back of his neck. "Um..."

"Don't tell me you aren't going to dress up." Zatanna raised a brow at the speedster. 

"Guilty?"

Zatanna chuckled. "I can fix that." She pointed her finger at Pietro. "Egnahc S'orteip tiftuo ot a Nietsneknarf emutsoc!"

A poof smoke surrounded Pietro and when it disappeared his clothes were changed to that of a Frankenstein. He looked up at Zatanna with a sly smile. "Your powers will never cease to amaze me."

"Thanks." She grinned back, looking over at Conner and M'gann when they started giggling. Zatanna turned to Artemis. "So, how long have those two been a couple?"

"A couple? Ha! No. They're not a..." Artemis trailed off, looking to the duo.

"Will you please stop fidgeting?" M'gann giggled. 

"You are so making this up to me later." Conner teased. 

Artemis narrowed her eyes and turned to leave, Zatanna chasing after her. 

Pietro watched the girls leave, his heart saddening as Zatanna left his view. He turned to his other friends. "Are Rob and Kaldur joining us?"

"Nope. Too cool for a dance, apparently. Speaking of which, we're going to be late. Let's boogey." Wally said, heading towards the zeta tubes. 

"Did you really just make that awful pun?" Pietro groaned, following after his friends. 

Happy Harbor

October 31, 20:15 EDT

Pietro walked into the dance along with Conner, M'gann, and Wally to be greeted by an assortment of teens in costumes, the majority of which were in costumes of the Justice League members. 

Mal, Karen, Wendy, and Marvin greeted the four other teens. 

"You look amazing!" Wendy grabbed M'gann's hands, the human teen dressed up as Black Canary.
