Edward looked at his watch. In twenty seconds it would be noon. He shifted his view to to the water in front of him. It was beautiful.
"Ready?" Edward asked as the second hand neared the twelve.
Edward's brown eyes turned to a sickly yellow. "Ready."

"Leviathan is in position. You're on in ten." Black Thorn said to Dreamcatcher and Archangel through their comms.
"Roger that." Archangel replied.
"Roger that." Dreamctacher mocked lightheartedly.
"That's what you're suppose to say." Archangel replied flatly.
"I suppose that's true." Dreamcatcher admitted. "I just never heard anyone actually say it."
"Can we focus on the mission?" Archangel asked, annoyed by the talking.
Dreamcatcher reached a hand out to Archangel's face. His red gloves brushed over the others black mask as he turn off Archangel's comm. He then pulled his hand away to turn off his own.
"You can't get into trouble if Black Thorn can't hear you." Dreamcatcher said. "We have about eight minutes. I want to talk."
"About what?" Archangel asked.
"Were you trying to mess with me yesterday or were you seriously when you said you were partnered with me?"
Archangel liked how straightforward Dreamcatcher was with the question. Not a lot of people were like that.
"I was just having a little fun. Why, did it work?"
"I'd be lying if I said you don't intrigue me, but it takes more than a little flirting to throw me off." Dreamcatcher explained.
"You're intrigued by me?" Archangel questioned, his mask hiding the fact he was blushing a little.
"Or maybe I'm just having a little fun too." Dreamcatcher added.
They were silent for what felt like centuries, trying to study one another.
"You think you're good at these mind games, don't you?" Archangel asked. "You think you can get into my head?"
"I don't know if I'm as good at it as you, but I do know one thing; I am in your head. The question is, are either of us actually sincere." Dreamcatcher explained.
Archangel was becoming frustrated with the psycho. "I don't like you talking in circles like that."
"If you don't like it handsome, then don't play the game." Dreamcatcher reached his hand out again, turning on his teammate's comm.
Black Thorn was yelling so loud, Dreamcatcher could hear it before turning on his own.
"We lost you there for a minute." Dreamcatcher told his leader.
"Don't turn your comms off again!" Black Thorn yelled, knowing Dreancatcher's statement was a lie.
"Understood." Archangel replied.
"What happened to roger that?" Dreamcatcher asked.
"Stay focused." Was all Archangel replied.

Tyler and Zack ran into the main part of the cave where everyone else was. They had gotten an alert while hanging out telling them to get the cave asap. Everyone was already suited up by the time they got there.
"What's wrong?" Zack asked Angel.
"That." Angel replied, pointing to a screen.
On it was a giant, black, horned serpent in Gotham's harbor. It was destroying the area completely.
"Leviathan." Tyler said in a small voice. He had never seen the thing before, but he had heard stories from some Atlantians.
Zack's face dropped. "We're fighting that."
"No." angel assured him. "The Justice League is handling that problem, but it's left them short handed. We are all on call until they come back."
Tyler's eyes didn't leave the screen.
"Dude, we gotta suit up." Zack told his friend.
"Right."

The alert rang through the cave. Everyone stood ready as Diamondback pulled up the information.
"Dreamcatcher and Archangel are breaking into Gotham Jeweler." He informed the team.
"Since when are they working together?" Fantasia questioned.
"Does it matter? Let's go." Mirage said racing to the ship. The others followed.
Sparklight got into the pilot's seat and set a course for Gotham.
"Guys," Mnemosyne's voice rang through her teammates ears. "We have a problem. Smiley and Trickshot are currently breaking into Wayne Enterprises woth Black Thorn."
"Something seems off." Fantasia said.
"You're right, but we can't focus on that right now." Diamondback responded. "Sparklight, drop Mirage, Fantasia, and me by Wayne Enterprises. You, Neptune, and Mnemosyne head to the Gotham Jeweler."
"On it." Sparklight said, changing course to Wayne Enterprises.
A/N: I know it's short, but I wanted to get it out. I'll try to get the next chapter out in a week, but no promises.
