Much to Artemis and Robin's surprise, Klarion had remained eerily quiet during their trip through the forest. Although the Witch-Boy had given a slight argument when the Lost Boys went to blindfold them, he quickly gave up, not wanting to be left alone in the woods without his magic or his familiar.
After what felt like an eternity of walking, the group came to a halt. The three blindfolded teens heard some leaves rustling before they were pushed forward. Something behind them slammed shut, causing them to jump and rip off their blindfolds. They were shocked to find themselves in a dark tunnel. Cautiously the new comers began to move forward, only to have the floor fall from beneath their feet.
A series of small gasps could be heard as the two heroes and Klarion slid down through wooden tunnels, only to be thrown onto the floor in a pile, with Klarion finding himself once again on the bottom.
"Get off," the Lord of Chaos hissed, pushing the other teens to the side. Artemis narrowed her eyes at him, but didn't say anything as she and the Boy Wonder moved to either side of the Witch-Boy.
"Welcome to the Hideout!" Peter announced loudly from his wooden chair, causing the three to look toward him. "Boys!" On cue, the six Lost Boys ran/slid in from all sides of the place. They lined up in front of Peter. "Introduce yourselves to our new friends."
"Friends?" Klarion let out a snort, only loud enough for Robin and Artemis to hear. Artemis responded by jabbing her elbow into his ribs. The Witch-Boy gave a small 'ow' and Robin rolled his eyes.
"Slightly." The seemingly oldest of the boys (2nd to Peter) gave the new comers a smile and wave. He was dressed in a fox costume. The hood from his costume shaded his eyes as he stared down at the three and only then did they realized they had yet to stand up from being thrown to the floor by their entrance. They jumped to their feet quickly, an action that arose laughter from Peter and the Lost Boys.
"Nibs." The second oldest, clothed in a rabbit costume, gave a small yawn before flashing the three teens a smile.
"The Twins." The two identical boys in raccoon costumes jumped up, only to trip over each other and fall to the ground. They both giggled. Rather than each having a name of his own, the twins opted to always stay together, not even separating for a game of Hide'n'Seek.
"Cubby." The chubby one in the bear costume gave a small wave, before asking if the teens had any food. Robin gave a small chuckle and Klarion rolled his eyes. All three shocked their heads much to Cubby's disappointment.
"And that's Tootles!" The one in the fox costume, Slightly, yelled. The smallest of the Boys was dressed in a skunk costume. He gave a shy wave before directing his attention to his feet, a small smile never leaving his lips. None of the boys had ever heard him speak, only Peter when Tootles had told Peter his name.
"So what are you names?" All of the boys looked to the three teens, since they had only introduced themselves to Peter. Klarion, Robin, and Artemis looked to one another, none of the three speaking a word. After many moments of standing silently, the Boy Wonder finally spoke up.
"Hi, I'm Robin," his voice radiated a calmness that it had acquired from years of working with a man who, at times, could be very frustrating. He gave a grin to the group of boys before making a small gesture towards Artemis. "This is Artemis." The blond gave a small nod and smiled.
"Hey." All the boys smiled back at her, one (Slightly) made a comment on her beauty with bright red cheeks. "Thank you."
"So what's your name?" A voice from behind Klarion made the Witch-Boy jump and the teens to whirl around. Behind them, the Twins stood in their identical costumes. Klarion glared at the Twins.
"It isn't nice to sneak up on people, you know," he hissed darkly, causing the two lost boys to look to the floor. Artemis hit him on the back of the head. "Ow."
"You're one to talk about nice," Artemis retorted harshly. The Lord of Chaos turned his glare to her.
"Don't hit me," Klarion growled in response to the archer. Peter laughed at the fighting teens.
"Guys!" Robin stepped in between them, shaking his head at both of them. "Sunshine here is Klarion, and I'm sorry."
"Sorry?" Peter asked.
"He is always rude like this." Robin said. Klarion crossed his arms and snorted,
"And how would you know that?" Robin ignored him and continued speaking to Peter.
"Thanks for letting us stay here though." Peter smiled.
"No problem! We love making new friends! Besides the boys wanted a new mother," Pan said with joy, looking pointedly at Artemis at the mention of a mother.
"Wait, what?" Artemis looked at Peter with wide-eyed confusion, "I'm no one's mother." Slightly stepped forward, a pleading look on his face.
"Please! We need a mother to tell us stories," he begged Artemis, moving to hug her leg.
"Uhhhhh..." Artemis had no idea how to respond. Robin was chuckling quietly while Klarion was out right laughing at her. Peter spoke up.
"Alright Slightly, let her go. I'm sure she'll tell you guys all kinds of stories before bed, but for now, let's go have some fun with our new friends!" All the boys nodded in agreement and began to direct the new comers to the exit. Klarion stepped away from the group.
"I think I'm good staying here." He was not too keen about seeing what these people's idea of fun was, especially since he was powerless to fight back. Artemis and Robin shared a quick look before grabbing Klarion by each arm.
"Hey!"
"Not a chance," The blond said with a smirk, "I have a feeling that this will be interesting to watch." She and the Boy Wonder then proceeded to drag a struggling Lord of Chaos out of the hide-out and to the destination of the games Peter had in mind.
