The Team does their best to take down Clayface but they failed miserably. The only ones left standing were Mia and Kaldur. Clayface knocks Mia out of the way and she hits the wall behind her while he turned his attention towards Kaldur. When he morphs his hand into a sledge hammer and raises it, Batman smashes his way in through the sunroof of the building and battled against Clayface.
After a few minutes, Batman was able to take him down using a Taser gun. Mia looks up and sees Batman standing in front of a puddle of clay. She smiles a little.
"Hey Batman" he looks over to her "Glad you made it to the party."

"I need to talk to Aqualad. The rest of you hit the showers, and head home" Batman orders.
"Head home? I am home" Superboy comments.
"Yeah no kidding" Mia agrees.
She walks by Batman and headed towards the showers. Mia grabs a change of clothes from her room and went to shower the clay out of her hair. She finds M'gann in the showers and the two have a psychic conversation.
"I really hope I can get this gunk out of my hair."
"Yeah, me too. How are you feeling Mia?"
"I'm fine. Why do you ask Meg?"
M'gann looks at her worriedly "It's just lately you seem more distant than usual and I'm getting these weird vibes coming from you. I just want to know if you're ok is all."
"Aw Meg" Mia hugs her "I'm ok, honest. You don't have to worry about me at all. Besides it's my job to take care of you guys, not the other way around."
"But Mia if you're taking care of us, who's taking care of you?"
Mia chuckles a little "No clue."
The girls finished their showers and headed to the lounge. M'gann's wearing her usual clothes (A/N: watch the episode) and Mia's wearing a green shirt, jeans and sandals.
"Hey where's Kal?" Mia asks as he glanced around the room.
"Don't know" Superboy answers.
"That's strange. He always says bye before he leaves. I hope he's ok." Before Mia could sit down, she was carried to the zeta tubes at the speed of light. It took her a few seconds to realize that Wally was the one who brought her to the tubes.
"Wally? What was that for?!"
"I'm taking you over to my place for a birthday party tonight."
"Why?"
"I want you to meet my folks. You're going to love them."
"But Wally…"
"What is it?" he looks at her worriedly.
"I don't have anything to give" Mia states sadly.
Wally waves it off "You being there is good enough, trust me."
"Alright, if you say so" and they left for Central City.

Wally and Mia didn't have to walk far to reach Wally's house. On the way there, Mia started to get nervous. "What if they don't like me?"
"Are you sure it's ok for me to tag along Wally?"
"Of course it is! Besides you were invited anyways."
"What?! By who?"
The front door opens to revealing a tall blond man in a gray shirt underneath a red sweater vest and gray pants. He smiles at the sight of the duo.
"Mia this is my uncle, Barry Allen. Uncle Barry, this is Mia" Wally introduces them.
"Pleasures all mine Mia" Barry extends his hand.
Mia took a minute to analyze Barry's structure and a sly smile appears on her face. She takes his hand and shakes it.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Allen" *fake coughs* "Flash" *fake coughs* "Excuse me" she smiles sweetly.
Barry was shocked that Mia figured out that he was the Flash so quickly while Wally nervously laughs. He pushes Mia inside and introduces her to the rest of the family.
"It's nice to finally meet you Mia. I'm Iris, Wally's aunt and Barry's wife" Iris states.
"Barry's the Flash isn't he?"
"How'd you know?" Iris asks.
"After meeting Flash twice, I memorized his body structure so when I meet Barry at the door he has the exact same body structure" she shrugs "I'm an artist, I have an eye for these things."
Iris nods and Mia turned her attention to Wally's mom.
"Hello sweetheart. How are you?" Mary asks.
"I'm fine Mrs. West. You have a lovely home."
"Oh please call me Mary. Aren't you just the sweetest?"
"Thanks Mrs. We- I mean Mary."
"So Mia" she looks over to Wally's dad "I hear you're the 'big sister' on the Team. Is that right?" Rudy wonders.
"Yes sir, that's right. I try my best to make sure that nobody does anything reckless that could get themselves hurt."
"I see and how's my son doing so far?"
Mia giggles "He's ok. He just needs to learn to close his mouth whenever he chews" she looks over to Wally "Isn't that right, Wally?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Keep that attitude up and I won't make my famous rice and beans tonight for dinner."
*Gasps* "You wouldn't dare."
She walks right up to him "Try me."
They continued to have a staring contest until Wally finally caved in.
"Please make them tonight!"
"Hmmm if I have to…ok" she smiles.
"Yes!"
He picks her up and twirls her around for a bit causing her to laugh.
"Put me down you big doofus!" Mia laughs.
"Did the party already start without us?"
Everyone turned to see an older couple walking in with smiles on their faces. Wally puts Mia back down and took her to meet the older couple.
"This is Jay and Joan Garrick. Guys this is-"
"Mia! Oh, how lovely to finally meet you darling!" Joan exclaims and quickly hugs Mia.
"It's nice to meet you too Mrs. Garrick."
"Oh please call me Joan."
"Ok" Mia smiles.
"So you're Mia huh?" Jay asks.
"Yes sir."
"Wally told us all about you."
"Did he now?" she glances at Wally to see him sweating nervously "And what pray tell did he say about me?"
"That you are one of the most caring, lovable and sweetest girl there is who's also witty, sassy and stands up for what she believes in. He swears up and down that you two are somehow related" Jay answers.
Mia blushes at the comment and didn't know what to say. Jay and Joan chuckled and hugged her. She froze for a second then she hugs them back while a few tears trailed down her cheeks. "So this is what it's like to have grandparents, I like it." After the hug, Mia headed to the kitchen to make her famous rice and beans as well as helping Mary cook.
20:05 CDT
Everyone sat down for dinner and they had a great time. Wally finally told Mia that it was Jay's birthday and now that she got to know the man, she wanted to give him something. When everyone finished dinner, Barry got up to get the plates.
"Here, let me get that. And that, and this, and those, and these. How about that?"
Barry quickly cleared the table using his super speed. Wally quickly finishes his plate, stands up and lets Barry take it from his hand.
"Thanks, Uncle Barry."
"No problem, Kid. Let me get that for you Mia."
Mia shakes her head and teleports her plate into the sink. "Well that's new. Guess I can teleport objects and attacks, sweet!"
"How'd you do that?" Barry asks.
"I can teleport and apparently I can teleport objects now."
"Sweet" Wally exclaims.
"You're a lucky lady, Iris. Our Wally certainly isn't that fast. Not when it comes to clearing the table" Mary states.
"Mom!"
"Ha! Even your mom calls you out! I love it" Mia snickers. Her snickers turned into fits of laughter so she covers her mouth to stop laughing however it wasn't working.
"Neither is my Jay. Believe me" Jay went to say something but Joan stops him "I know, I know. You're a retired speedster. And since it's your birthday, we won't argue."
"Wally's fast when he wants to be" Barry walks out of the kitchen holding a cake "We're suddenly out of ice cream."
"Wally!" Mia and Mary scolded.
"Uh, happy birthday" he said with a spoon in his mouth.
"What am I going to do with you?" Mia shakes her head "I'll be right back everyone. I'll make it back before you could say Flash" and she teleports out of the house.
"Fla-" everyone said then Mia appears again in front of them.
She's holding two gallons of ice cream plus one more cake. Mia looks at the Speed family with a smug look on her face.
"Told you I'd make it back before you could say Flash" she gives them a cheeky grin.
"I like her already" Iris states.
"Thanks Iris. Now that we have ice cream and more cake, I would like to ask something" she looks over to the Garrick's "Can I do a sketch of you and your wife Jay?"
"Of course Mia" Jay answers.
Mia smiles and quickly grabs some paper and a pencil. She positions them just the way she wants and starts to draw them. The others stood behind Mia to watch her do her magic and they were very impressed so far. Wally takes Barry and Iris off to the side and had a small conversation.
"Well?" he asks.
Barry and Iris looked at each other then over to Wally with smiles on their faces.
"Yes."
Wally silently cheers "So when will it happen?"
"As soon as we have the paperwork straighten out. I'm sure it'll get done quickly with Batman's help."
"I can't wait to tell Mia!"
"It's going to be a surprise Wally. You can't say anything to her" Iris warns.
"Ok, I won't say a word about it."
"Good. Now let's get back, I think she's done" Barry suggests.
They went back over to see that Mia was indeed done with the sketch. They got a good look at the drawing and laughed a little. Mia shows the Garrick's the drawing and they laughed too. It was a drawing of Joan carrying Jay, as the Flash, over her shoulder running to safety with smiles on each of their faces.
"So what do you think?"
"I love it. Thank you Mia."
Jay took the drawing from Mia and hugs her. She hugs him back and whispers in his ear.
"No, thank you Jay."
"For what?"
"For acting like a grandfather. I never knew what it was like to have grandparents until I met you and Joan. So, thanks Grandpa Jay."
Jay got a little misty eyed then tightens his hug and Mia did the same. After the hug, everyone was lounging around until Batman calls Wally and Mia in for a mission.
"We gotta go, you know how it is" Wally states.
Mia got up and faced the Speed Family.
"Thanks for inviting me, I've had a lot of fun. Hopefully, I'll see you guys again soon."
"Mia you are welcomed here whenever you feel like" Mary says.
"You can come over to our place anytime" Iris states.
"Dearie you're allowed to come to our house too" Joan spoke.
Mia got a little misty eyed and hugged the women of the family. She lets go and follows Wally as they head to the Cave for their next mission.
When the duo left, Barry rose from his seat and looks at everyone.
"So, what do you say?"
"She's perfect Barry" Joan states.
"She'll make a fine addition to the family" Rudy says.
"Recognized: Aqualad, B02" the computer announced his arrival.
He walks over to batman and he looks at Kaldur.
"Made your decision?"
"The decision is made. I am here. One hundred percent."
"Just in time for your next mission."
Soon the rest of the Team arrived in the mission room just as Batman began to explain the mission.
"The Watchtower detected an immense power surge in the Bialian desert..."
"You good Kal?" Mia whispers.
"I am. And you? You seem happier."
She smiles "Yeah, I guess I am." "Thanks Wally. You knew just what I needed."
