Lorena is torn between two worlds: her strange new abilities bring her to Atlantis, but her mannerisms and lack of magical aptitude mark her apart from everyone there, and those same new abilities prevent her from continuing her life in San Diego as normal. Kaldur'ahm is torn between two duties: his duty to Atlantis, his home, and his king, and his duty to his new friends and team of heroes that rely on him for leadership. Only Lorena and Kaldur really understand each other's plight. They're really the only people who will listen to each other. Lorena teaches him about his new home in the surface world, and Kaldur teaches her about her new life in Atlantis, and they both stick up for each other. Lorena is finally able to join Kaldur's team, and she's ecstatic, at least until she is approached by Ocean Master, who offers to help her discover more about her powers.
