This story wasn't in the original plans, but hey, with my dreams, I've had plenty of wonderful stories come from them. This is #13 in mine and Malaizjan Dejesus' Batman Beyond Series. There is a list of the order for the stories on both mine and Mala's profiles, and this one will be added to it.
Chapter One
It had been a while since she had been saved from Stalker and his team, and the fire controller did have one incredible thing happen, she's in love. She had fallen in love with Orin, son of Kaldur'ahm. It was an instant connection at her cousin, Molly Grayson's 11th birthday party.
"Areina, are we going to the beach or not?" A voice asked and she was pulled from her thoughts.
"Of course, sorry was thinking about something, Terry." Areina stated and she went to get her swim suit. "Just a moment!" She hollered to her partner in crime fighting.
She didn't take long and soon enough the duo was ready to head to Blüdhaven to hang out at the beach that was near Areina's uncle's house. Dick Grayson has lived in Blüdhaven for decades and had plenty of room for his best friends to have homes with their own families. Orin and his father had the house closest to the beach and the 20 year old boy was having a wonderful day with his friends/family members.
The Gotham duo decided to ride their motorcycles and so it would be a bit but they would get there for the fun.

Two Hours Later
The two motorcycles arrived in time to almost be knocked over as a gust of wind came by.
"BRIAN WEST, will you stop that for three seconds." The girl said as she removed her helmet.
"What are you going to do to me if I don't?" The blur asked as it passed once more.
"Do I have to remind you of yours and Vincent's prank on Molly's birthday? Do you really want to go round 2 with me?" The girl angrily questioned.
Suddenly the blur came to a complete stop without falling flat on its face and a red haired teen was revealed.
"Please, not again, Areina; it took forever to get that taffy out of my hair." Brian begged as he grabbed her arms in a pleading grip.
"Alright, be careful just next time." Areina said, and with that, the three headed over to the house closest to the beach. "You coming, Terry?"
"Yea, I'm on my way, go on without me." Terry said as he made sure he had anything and EVERYTHING he might need. You never know what can happen, even on the property of the famous Dick Grayson.
"Areina, it's great that you could make it." A voice said, and at the sound of said voice, Areina seemed to perk up even more than she already was.
"Orin, I can't believe Kaldur's letting you throw a party so close to your house." Areina said as she hugged one of her MANY new friends, but Brian felt it was more than just a 'friends' hug.
"Well, to be honest, he doesn't know. Dick, Dad, Wally and the other league members are on an off world mission, so…..yea." Orin said as he released the hug.
"Who knew that daddy's little Orin would be the one to break the rules like this." Brian said, and that's when a fireball came at him. "What was that for?!"
"Could you keep your mouth shut for once in your speedster life?" Areina said.
"Maybe, but you'd have to catch me first." Brian said as he turned to run, but unexpectedly was stopped when a net fell over him.
"Want to try that again." A voice said, and when the three looked, it was Terry.
"So, who else is going to be here?" Terry asked as he left Brian to struggle in the net.
"Believe it or not, Mathen is excited about this, even though Dick told him to keep us all out of trouble." Orin stated. "Meygan's working on her water magic, but Molly wants to hang out with her big cousin. She still can't get over the fact that she has a cousin and that her dad is King Arthur's descendant."
"There has to be more than just the six of us." Areina said, but then she picked up a sound and turned in its direction. "When are you going to stop trying to sneak up on me, Vincent?"
"When I finally beat that bat training of yours." Vincent said as he came out from behind a bush.
"Well guess we'll be doing this little dance forever then." Areina said with a laugh.
"Billy and Virgil Jr are going to be here, after Billy can stop the invention that Jr's trapped in." Vincent said as he rolled his eyes.
"I swear those two are just like their fathers." A voice said, and that's when one of the adults appeared.
"Uncle Tim, what are you doing here, I thought you were at Watchtower today." Areina said as she saw the third Robin walking her way.
"Eric wanted to spend some time with the Team and his family." Tim said, and that's when the 12 year old popped out from behind his grandfather.
"Hey Areina, any chance you can teach me your skill with disappearing?" The fourth Robin asked.
"I'm sure I can, but today's a day off, which is rare for this family." Areina told her cousin.
"Alright, I'll buy that. So, where are the others?" Eric asked.
"Billy, I'm going to electrocute you." A voice said.
"I'm sorry V, I'm sorry." Bill said as he came flying toward the others with his rocket skates.
"Billy, Virgil Jr.; what's going on." A voice asked, and that's when everyone saw the oldest Grayson in their generation.
"Billy's latest invention almost killed me." Virgil Jr. told the boy.
"How was I supposed to know it would cut off your oxygen?" Billy told his friend/teammate.
"Guys, things happen, and besides, I remember dad telling me that Static and Gear did those kinds of things." The leader of this teenage team told the two friends.
"Sorry Mathen." Billy and Virgil Jr said at the same time.
With that a little girl came running past Mathen and hugged Areina. Her strawberry hair was pulled into a ponytail as the two hugged.
"Hey Molly. I hope you're alright, you sister gave you a run for your money in that fight." Areina said as the hug ended.
"More like a run for dad's money and our uncles." Molly said with a giggle in her voice, thinking about the bet that happened.
"Well, now that everyone's here, how about we head to the beach for our day off." Orin said, and with that the group headed to the beach.

Off the Shores of Blüdhaven, deep under water
He was sick of everything that had happened over the decades, and now, he was ready to destroy the Atlantean that betrayed him all those years ago, and now there was another threat, Kaldur'ahm's son, Orin.
"Sir, we are ready to go whenever you are." One man said as he swam over to the head man.
"Once they are on the beach, we will go and take them all out." The leader, dressed in black armor with a helmet that resembled the body of a manta ray and the large eyes were a crimson red.
There were about 20 men surrounding him, and they were ready to attack the teenagers.

The Beach
Molly, Virgil Jr. and Billy were all building a sand castle while Terry tried to get the grill lit, but even though he was Gotham's protector, he couldn't get it to light. All of a sudden a fireball came right toward him then down to hit the coals.
"Next time, Terry, just ask." Areina said as Terry looked in the direction the fireball came from.
"Thanks, but I was hoping to get it started myself." Terry said, a disappointed look on his face.
"Well, we're all hungry, we couldn't wait." Mathen said; a smirk on his face.
Terry had to give the oldest Grayson boy that, even he was hungry. Everything went back to a typical day at the beach.
Ten minutes later there was something going on with the water as the younger of the team came running to the older members. Everyone got ready as the saw figures rising from the water and walking to the water's edge. Just as the 20 men stopped walking, a final figure started rising from the water, and when Terry, Mathen, Orin and Areina saw the helmet, they knew exactly who this was.
"What are you doing here, Black Manta?" Mathen asked.
"Taking care of unfinished business." Manta said and with that his red eyes fired lasers, separating the teens.
Oh man, Black Manta's attacking, this can't be good, what's going to happen with the kids.
