The Underwater Mission

Kaldur was walking around Watchtower thinking about how good it felt to be back in Atlantis. When the timeline changed, his home had come under attack, but he couldn't return…..until Queen Mera lifted the law her husband had put into effect after the whole 'traitor' thing went down decades ago.

The boom tube opened up under water and THREE people came out of it. Kaldur and Orin were swimming as usual, but the third person was having a little trouble adjusting.

"Areina, let your body adjust, you are not use to this." Kaldur stated; knowing that Areina was a surface dweller and not use to being underwater AND being able to breath.

Orin was beside her, and having him there, Areina was able to relax and she started breathing regularly. Kaldur had NO doubt at all that she would be alright, but then again, she was a Grayson and they always adjusted to new things. Soon enough, Areina was swimming around as if she were born Atlantean.

"Δεν μπορώ να πιστέψω πόσο γρήγορα θα πιαστεί. (I can't believe how quickly she caught on.)" Orin remarked.

"Η ίδια είναι Grayson, ήσε"ahm· τα πάντα παρέμβετε ταχέως. (She is a Grayson, Orin'ahm; they always catch on quickly.)" Kaldur told his son.

"I'm right here, guys." Areina said.

The two Atlanteans looked to her in shock; how did she know Atlantean.

"Areina, did your uncle teach you Atlantean?" Kaldur asked.

"No, I've just known it since I put the shell on. Probably another part of Merlin's spell to help me in Atlantis." Areina said.

"Speaking of which, dad's home is under attack, let's get going." Orin said and with that the three heroes took off to take Atlantis back from Black Manta.

One Hour Later

The trio arrived on the outskirts of Atlantis, and were suddenly attacked by Manta henchmen and the underwater Slade Bots that Prince Mierco had informed them of. Kaldur and Orin quickly readied their water attacks, but Areina was unable to use her meta power as it would just get snuffed out underwater. She did have her fighting skills that she picked up from her uncle, along with Bruce and some of the new heroes that watched over Earth. As the father/son duo took care of the Slade Bots; Areina was keeping the Manta henchmen away from her boyfriend and his father.

Soon enough, the henchmen retreated and so did the Slade Bots. They figured that they were called back after a henchman got word to Black Manta himself of the intruders.

"Ας πάμε στο παλάτι και να ενωθούν με τον πρίγκιπα Mierco και Βασίλισσα Mera. (Let us go to the palace and meet up with Prince Mierco and Queen Mera.)" Kaldur stated, and the two lovebirds agreed with him.

They swam swiftly and within two minutes, they were at the palace. As they approached, a whirlwind came toward them. Areina and Orin separated and Kaldur was able to destroy the whirlwind with a water spell. It wasn't long before the creator of the whirlwind came into view.

"Στάσης, Kaldur'ahm, ξέρετε το νόμο, λοιπόν, και εγώ θα σας. (Halt, Kaldur'ahm; you know the law, and so I will take you in.)" The man said.

"Garth, δικαιούμαι back, Βασίλισσα Mera έχει αρθεί εξορία μου. Μας καλωσόρισε μου πίσω όπως Atlantis" πρωταθλητής. (Garth, I am allowed back, Queen Mera has lifted my exile. She welcomed me back as Atlantis' champion.)" Kaldur explained.

"Έχω ακούσει από εσάς Garth, και τι Kaldur αναφέρει ότι είναι αλήθεια. Ήμουν εκεί όταν σας Βασίλισσα ανακάλεσε την εξορία και χαιρέτισε Kaldur πίσω. (I've heard of you Garth, and what Kaldur says is true. I was there when your Queen revoked the exile and welcomed Kaldur back.)" Areina said, getting between Kaldur and Garth.

"Δεν είστε του Atlantean αίμα, όμως εσείς μιλάτε Atlantean και μπορεί να αναπνέει υποβρυχίως. (You are not of Atlantean blood, yet you speak Atlantean and can breathe underwater.)" Garth said, realizing that this girl was not Atlantean.

"Θα σας εξηγήσουμε περίπου Areina αργότερα; μπορείτε να μας πάρει για να όπου ο Πρίγκιπας και η Βασίλισσα είναι; (We will explain about Areina later; can you take us to where the Prince and Queen are?)" Kaldur asked, hoping that his old friend would comply.

Garth only nodded and turned around, and as the dark haired Atlantean took off; Kaldur, Orin, and Areina were right behind him. The path they took was unique, and the three heroes saw why. Even around the palace, there were Slade Bots everywhere. With a little more time; they arrived at the palace doors and entered. They were greeted by a woman with beautiful flowing red hair and a boy with blonde hair.

"Kaldur'ahm, είναι καλό να σας δούμε ξανά. Χαίρομαι που βλέπω ότι ο γιος σας συμφώνησε να έρθει μαζί σας αλλά οι οποίοι είναι αυτό το κορίτσι, δεν έχω ξαναδεί την γύρω από εδώ πριν. (Kaldur'ahm; it is good to see you again. I am glad to see that your son agreed to come with you but who is this girl, I've never seen her around here before.)" The woman asked.

"Είναι καλό να σας δούμε ξανά καθώς και βασίλισσα μου και να επιστρέψω στο Atlantis μετά από τόσα χρόνια. Όσο για την κοπέλα, έχει Nightwing ανηψιά του. Η αρχαία wizard, η Merlin της του Βασιλιά Αρθούρου, χορηγείται η μια γοητεία που μπορεί να χρησιμοποιήσει για να επισκεφθείτε. (It is good to see you again as well my queen and to be back in Atlantis after so many years. As for the girl, she is Nightwing's niece. The ancient wizard, Merlin of Camelot, granted her a charm she can use to visit.)" Kaldur said as he greeted the two members of the royal family by placing his right fist on his forehead.

Orin did the same, and Areina followed their example. Mierco was impressed that an outsider would show such respect, but then again, he also knew of Nightwing. This girl being his relative told the young prince that she knew how to act.

"Έτσι είστε Areina- σύζυγός μου έχει αναφερθεί εσείς. Λυπάμαι για τη μητέρα, αλλά βλέπω ότι είστε ένα ισχυρό κορίτσι. Όνομα μου είναι Βασίλισσα Mera και αυτός είναι ο γιος μου, Mierco. (So you are Areina; my husband has mentioned you. I am sorry about your mother; but I also see that you are a powerful girl. My name is Queen Mera and this is my son, Mierco.)" The woman said as she looked right at the 20 year old girl.

"Είναι μια χαρά για να σας συναντήσω, Βασίλισσα Mera. Όπως Kaldur ανέφερε, ξαδέλφια μου" μεγάλη παππού μου έδωσε μια γοητεία, ώστε δεν μπορούσα να έρθω εδώ όποτε ήθελα. Θέλω να σας βοηθήσει ήσε λαμβάνει την πατρίδα. (It's a pleasure to meet you, Queen Mera. As Kaldur stated, my cousins' great grandfather gave me a charm so I could come here whenever I wanted. I want to help Orin'ahm take his father's home back.)" Areina said as she swam in front of the Queen of Atlantis.

Mera was impressed, but off to the side, Garth and Mierco were not getting close to the three heroes that came to help. Mierco was angered at the fact that the boy he knew as Markot'azm was really the son of the man that was branded a traitor. Garth couldn't believe that Kaldur'ahm was allowed back into Atlantis after joining his father's army, even if it WAS a deep undercover mission.

"Πώς είναι ο βασιλιάς ήσε; (How is King Orin?)" Orin'ahm asked.

"Εξακολουθεί να είναι αναίσθητοι, και τα τραύματά ήταν πολύ σοβαρή. Τι έχει συμβεί τίποτα που να μεταβάλει την παρούσα; (He is still unconscious, and his injuries were very severe. What has happened to change the present?)" Prince Mierco said, wanting to know what has happened.

"Η Λεγεώνα των Doom έχει μεταρρυθμιστεί και να αλλάξει το παρελθόν να τροποποιήσει τους παρόντες. Γρανάζι, τον γιο του, και ο φίλος του ο Areina εργάζονται σε ένα τρόπο για να καθορίσει το τι συνέβη. (The Legion of Doom has been reformed and they changed the past to alter our present. Gear, his son, and a friend of Areina's are working on a way to fix what happened.)" Kaldur explained to the young prince.

"Αν μου επιτρέπετε, θα πρέπει αυτό το έργο, ό,τι έγινε τις τελευταίες ημέρες θα εξαφανιστούν. Κάποιος που έχει χαθεί θα επιστρέψει και θα μπορέσουμε να σταματήσουμε την Λεγεώνα του Doom. (If I may; should this work, everything that was done over the past few days will disappear. Anyone that has perished will return and we can stop the Legion of Doom.)" Areina said, being a little sheepish at first but after she asked for permission to speak and received a nod.

"Εδώ είναι η ελπίδα μας, τώρα θα πρέπει να αφαιρέσετε Μαύρο Manta και οι Slade bot από Atlantis. Είστε αρκετά ισχυρός για να βοηθήσει Kaldur'ahm, ήσε"ahm; (Here is to hope; Right now we must remove Black Manta and the Slade Bots from Atlantis. Are you powerful enough to help Kaldur'ahm and Orin'ahm?)" Queen Mera stated then asked Areina.

"Έχω μια ιδιαίτερη δύναμη, αλλά δεν ξέρω αν μπορεί να λειτουργεί υποβρυχίως. Έχω χέρι με χέρι εκπαίδευση μάχης. (I have a special power, but I don't know if it can work underwater. I do have hand to hand combat training.)" Areina answered.

"Πολύ καλά, αλλά ως προφύλαξη πάρτε μια Atlantean όπλο μαζί σας. (Very well; but as a precaution take an Atlantean weapon with you.)" Mierco said, and with that Garth swam over and handed Areina the weapon he was holding.

After thanking the queen and prince; Areina was ready to fight, and after all three heroes properly saluted the royal family, they headed out to fight the invaders of Atlantis.
