Ethan looked around. What was an elevator doing in a two story building?
He kicked the door to no avail. His mind raced. Maybe he could use his device to open the door.
He aimed it at the door and focused. He was no good at Earth bending. Yet, he was able to create a hole wide enough to fit through. He grabbed the side and started climbing down. He passed Level one without being able to see the bottom. Upon reaching Subfloor 7 he stopped creating another hole. The hallway was long and narrow. He crept slowly along accidentally triggering an alarm. He dashed across the room.
He had never felt such a thrill. Spying a closing door he rolled beneath it. A girl with curly strawberry blonde hair and green eyes spun around. "Who are you?" The boy stopped. "Uh...See the thing is." The door behind him broke open. stood in front of multiple Genomorphs. Before Ethan could ask what the creatures behind the scientist were a G-Elf rushed at him. He ran behind the girl. "Not another step creature or I kill the girl." He held a small knife to her throat. The man stretched out his arm. "Stop, don't harm her." Ethan smiled. "Ok show me the way out and you can have her back." Ethan felt metal hit his skull. A man dressed in a blue uniform with yellow armor helped the girl up. Ethan was trapped. He looked down at the device. "What are you doing here?" Ethan felt helpless. "I got lost." "Fat chance he works for the League." Guardian looked at the Doctor then the boy. "The League?" The man nodded. "Then he's an ally." The G-Gnome on Guardian's shoulder began to glow. "Of them." Guardian tried to punch the teen. Ethan rolled to his left. Grabbing the device he pushed Guardian away with air. Three G-Elfs rushed at Ethan. He concentrated on the floor beneath him falling into a water filled chamber. "Stop him before he releases the Atlantean." Shouted Desmond. Ethan held his breathe. Seeing a button he swam over pressing it. A metal cylinder came over him and the water drained. It opened to the other side. A white room with a cot, weight set and G-Gnomes. A Teen no older then Ethan lay on the cot. The G-Gnomes didn't seem to notice him. He walked over to the boy. He looked Asian. Ethan snapped his fingers next to the boys ears. His eyes shot open. "What? Where? Who?" Ethan quited the boy. "My names Ethan. You're underneath Washington Dc." "Not Atlantis?" asked the boy. "No. Atlantis is a long ways away." "Forgive me. My name is Aquarius. But you may call me Aqua." "Good cuz Aqualads taken. Do you know how to get out?" The boy shook his head. "Let me ask." Ethan was confused but waited. Aqua put his hands to his temples and closed his eyes. "The fish say that a strong force to the left wall will break it." Ethan nodded. He used his device to break down the barrier between them and the water. Then created a fist with the water to break the wall. The G-Gnomes had started to glow but the two didn't pay attention. Instead running out to the hallway. The two rushed till they found a staircase. Upon entry Ethan heard something. The door at the next floor opened and Genomorphs stated running down. Ethan grabbed Aqua's arm and used the device to shoot the two upwards. Passing the oncoming attackers. "Smell ya latter grays." The two landed on the stairs far above and ran to the exit. Aqua broke down the door and the two ran into the alley way.
"Well that was fun!" Aqua nodded. "So what now?" "We get you back to Atlantis. "Except thats not where he's from." The two turned to see the girl from before. "He's one of my fathers many clones."
"But I have a family." "Pre-proggramed memories." "She's right." Desmond stood behind her. "Come back son." Desmond put his hand on the girls shoulder. "I can't make you. But together we can help you reach new heights." Ethan looked at the two. "And what about me?" Desmond nodded. "You have proven strong. I can get you a job with my employers. I saw how much you enjoyed this. You want more." Ethan looked away then back at the girl. She smiled. "Fine. Maybe. But first I wanna know how you have that many floors in DC." The Doctor laughed. "Oh we work for the Government. They allow us this secret facility." Ethan could tell he was lying. "Fine then. Sign me up!"
