A/N: More coming soon. this is just too much fun to write... AC's little adventure is up next. Thanks for the reviews. This one's for Maiqu, Lady Lemons, JKArcanus and TheRandomHero...!
Well, that's a lie, actually... it's all for you!
SCENE THIRTEEN - WATCHTOWER - NIGHT INT
Chloe and Jimmy are slumped in their chairs.
CHLOE
Well, that was a waste of time.
JIMMY
Yeah.
CHLOE
Impulse, I'm going to check in with Aquaman.
BART (V/O)
Dolphin call?
CHLOE
Smart-ass!
(beat)
Maybe you should check the farm again. Jimmy and I might have missed something.
BART (V/O)
I'm on it.
CHLOE
Watchtower out.
She closes link.
JIMMY
Looks like we're running out of options.
CHLOE
We'll see what AC's got, and then go back to Victor and Dinah. Maybe we'll catch a break.
Opens another link.
CHLOE

AC (V/O)

CHLOE
Aquaman, I seem to be picking up some interference. Do you read?

SCENE FOURTEEN - METROPOLIS WATERFRONT - NIGHT EXT
Long, sweeping shot of Metropolis harbour (Yes! Metropolis has a harbour. It's where Dr. Swann's daughter got shot. Pay attention!). A large warehouse, bracketed by a chain-link fence has been surrounded by angry dockworkers, jumping and chanting.
DOCKWORKERS
(en masse)
No! No! We won't go! Blah, blah, blah, blah… Rodeo!
(again)
No! No! We won't go! Blah, blah, blah, blah… Rodeo!
We'll get to who came up with that chant later.
Camera zooms in on patch of water that seems to bubble, and, suddenly, Aquaman burts forth in a cresting wave, landing smoothly on the other side of the fence. Dockworkers spot him and cheer.
AC
I'm in!
CHLOE (V/O)
In? In where?
AC's caught off guard, taps at earpiece.
AC
Chloe? That you?
CHLOE (V/O)
Watchtower!
AC
Right. Watchtower. What's up?
CHLOE (V/O)
What are you doing?
AC
Sorry, can't chat!
CHLOE (V/O)
Aquaman! Aquaman!
AC ignores her, makes a mad dash to get away from the overly-friendly security guards, who have spotted him and settled on a mad charge.
GUARD 1
Get him!
GUARD 2
Mandis! Redtree! That side!
GUARD 3
Flanking manoeuvre! Flanking manoeuvre!
AC
You'll never take me alive!
CHLOE (V/O)
Aquaman! What the hell is going on?
A couple of mini-super leaps takes AC to the top of a stack of shipping containers. He raises his hands over his head in victory salute. Dockworkers cheer.
