What Happens at the Mountain, Stays at the Mountain
Swimming
(AKA Kaldur's idea of training)
Kaldur had been leading the team for a good while now and had learned the importance of training for later in the field. He had talked to his teammates, and they hadn't had much training under the water. He had decided to remedy that.
They stood in front of him, curious as to why he had called them all there.
"It has come to my attention that you have little training in fighting underwater. I hope to teach you some things today," Kaldur said.
Wally raised his hand. "So we're going to the beach? Sweet!"
He and Robin hi-fived. Kaldur smirked.
"Not exactly."
He pulled out his water bearers and started funneling water from the sea into the Mountain. His teammates looked at him like he was crazy and tried to stop him to no avail. Robin handed out rebreathers to everyone as the Mountain continued to fill.
"What are you doing?" Megan asked.
"Training. If you can defeat me in the water, I shall drain the Mountain," Kaldur replied.
Seconds later, they were engulfed in water.
Mental link established, Megan sent to everyone except Kaldur.
What does he think he's doing? Artemis sent angrily.
Wally was using his super speed to shoot around the room. This is kinda fun!
Robin looked at Kaldur analytically. I think he's taking a nap.
The group looked over at Kaldur who was lying back in the water. His eyes were closed and it did look like he was seeping. The teens moved away to plot in peace.
Kaldur was relaxing in the water. He had truly been missing Atlantis. It was his home, and he could never forget that. The ocean called to him, and it was only times like these he could head that call.
Suddenly, the Team attacked from all sides. Kaldur had no chance. That is, he had no chance if he couldn't magically control water and had training to pick up when things were swimming near him.
Everyone ended up disoriented, swirling around in the saltwater. Kaldur relaxed once again. It would take them time to think of a new plan.
Robin took charge. He had wanted to see what his teammates could do in water, and apparently it wasn't much. But this wasn't the best way to train them. He'd have to talk to Batman about that.
While the others were discussing a new plan of attack, Robin gently pushed a pellet towards Kaldur. It was so small he wouldn't feel it coming until it was too late.
Kaldur started feeling a bit guilty. This wasn't really about training, this was more about him being attracted to the ocean. This wasn't a very good training exercise, and he should know better as leader.
He quickly drained the Mountain. Robin watched, curious about the pellet. The others looked confused, wondering why Kaldur had changed his mind.
"We shall train in the water another day in a different way," Kaldur stated calmly.
Seconds later, he was frozen in a layer of ice. His teammates stood in shock.
That is, until Wally started laughing. "You rock, dude."
Robin hi-fived him again. "I know."
