Hey everyone! I have returned! And guess what I have… INSPIRATION! I went to visit my dad, as you know, and we went to this garden/theme park place, so now I think I'm going to write a pirate AU. And something about being lost in the rainforest. And then another couple villain stories. Which reminds me, a BIG shout out to my buddies KaliannaErebos, who gave me wonderful villain ideas and writes an awesome Spitfire fanfic, and Violently Red, who is great at having conversations with and writes an awesome Wally story! Now, onto other things! New awesome peeps that followed are: A Small Voice, Willow D'Forest, Spootly, Redhead98, and ZombiePandaPirateFrog! New awesome peeps that favorited are: PuppyProngs, Soundtrack-Fanatic, Violently Red, SlytherinORGriffondor, and Shadow of the Moon555! Thanks guys! Now, onwards!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my ideas and this bowl of cereal.
Wally and Artemis were making good time with her plan. In fact, they made it to the training room right after the fire alarm stopped beeping like a maniac. Partly because Wally picked her up and ran her there as fast as he could. Speedsters were automatically claustrophobic, and this house of horror was certainly not helping him deal with the small hallway.
He ran into the training room, practically threw Artemis away from him, turned around and slammed the door.
"Seriously, Baywatch?! What was that for! I promise you there is absolutely no monster chasing us." Getting up she continued, "Ok, so now all we have to do is find the other door in the dark, while avoiding the training exercises and then we find the backdoor. Should be simple enough."
"Yeah, as if all of that is 'simple.' You seem to be forgetting all the OTHER rooms we have to go through, not to mention the rest of those small and cramped hallways!" He waved his arms for dramatic effect on the word 'other.'
Through all of this, neither of them seemed to hear the cackle coming from above. Or hear the old training robots power up. Robin smiled. This was going to be fun.

To say the motorcycle was hard to take down was an understatement. You would think it to be somewhat easy, with it being a machine against three superpowered teens. But for starters, this was Supys bike, and he was getting close to finishing fixing it up.
Aqualad didn't want to destroy his friend's property, and Megan didn't want to either. So, at first they just dodged and hoped the bike would power down on its own. But when that circus tune came on, Superboy decided enough was enough.
That bike wove out of the way of every hit thrown at it. Supy's punches: into a wall. Aqualad's water bearers, slammed on the floor. Even Megan couldn't throw anything at it that would make the bike slowdown in the slightest.
"Megan, Conner, try to surround it on either side while I get it from behind!" The sounds of the motorcycle were making things hard to hear, but the two nodded their heads and moved in.
Finally, it stopped moving just before Aqualad hit it, and the door opened simultaneously.
"Well. Now that that's over, who's up for leaving?" Megan was slightly spooked from all of the strange things going on.
Kaldur nodded in agreement. "Let's go. The sooner we leave, the sooner we find a way out."
From above in the vents, Robin just had to smile at the irony.

"KF! There's another behind you! Duck!"
"Where! I lost that little guy a month ago in the living room!"
"No! I mean get down!"
"This is no time for sitting! We have robots fighting us!"
"Just! Move!"
"Fine! But first hold on there's a bot behind me I have to dismantle!"
"What's that about a mantle!? The mountain doesn't have a fire place!"
"Fire!? Where!?"
This had been going on ever since the training robots came out of the storage closet. Neither hero could hear the other because of the noise they made. The result, something Robin recorded for YouTube later.
There was only one robot left, but it might as well have been ten with all of the noise it made. Picture an airplane. Now picture it in a cave where sound seems to be amplified by 100. That's about how loud it was.
"Artemis! Do you want to take this one!?"
"Why would I take it!? Souvenirs are your kind of thing!"
"What!? No, I meant take it down!"
"What about down!? There's just a basement if we go down!"
"Why would you go into the basement! We have a mission, remember!?"
"You forgot what our mission was!?"
"You forgot about the mission!?"
The robot then was about to hit Wally, but Artemis shot it with an expert aim.
Though the sound stopped, the ringing in their ears didn't. When it finally cleared up, the door creaked open on the opposite side, leading to the hallway that would take them to the mission room. And then the lights went out for the second time that day.
"Well, isn't this great. Just great. I finally get my vision back, and now it's gone again."
Artemis rolled her eyes. Was there any time where the speedster wasn't complaining?
"Just put your goggles back on! They were over there on the table last I saw them." She pointed in the general direction.
"I can't see the table. And besides, you never know what's hiding in the dark."
"You've got to be kidding me. Just go get them! There's no such thing as ghosts! There is a perfectly logical explanation to all of this."
"Just keep telling yourself that. Now where was that table…?" following that sentence was a loud crash, what Artemis assumed was Wally hitting his foot on some empty cans.
"Way to go, Kid Klutz." She smirked.
But there was no smart mouth reply. This got her worried. Wally would never pass up the chance to give a comeback, even if it wasn't a good one.
"Wally?" Artemis made her way slowly over to the spot where his goggles were at. She found the goggles, but no Wally.
Her partner was nowhere to be seen.
Meanwhile, up above a confused and slightly freaked out Artemis, Wally was trying to get the hand away from his mouth keeping him from screaming. Once he succeeded, he turned around as fast as he could in the smallish air vent to find… his best friend smiling slyly below at Artemis, who was still calling Wally's name.
"Dude!" The perplexed speedster wanted an explanation.
"KF! Keep your voice down! You want Supy to hear?" Whisper shouting was as loud as they could be without alerting someone to their presence.
"Well sorry if I didn't know! I'm also sorry I didn't know you were going to kidnap me!" Wally had gotten on to Robin before for kidnapping Red Arrow and him for a day out somewhere. Sure, it was fun, but a little warning was always nice. At least this time Robin hadn't drugged him. "Seriously dude! Give me a heads up before you decide to make me go MIA. I was actually worried there for a second!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Robin put a hand out as if to quiet him. "Buuuuut… we are messing with Arty, so are you in?"
"Seriously. You actually had to ask me if I wanted to mess with her. I thought you were my best friend! You should know that would be a definite yes!"
Robin chuckled. "Alrighty then. Off to scare the rest of the team? They're on their way to the hallway with our rooms, and I have basically the control to everything in the mountain with this computer on my wrist."
Evil smiles spread across both of their faces.
"Sounds like fun."
