Next Saturday arrives, and the ghost twins have become familiar with the cave. They know it inside and out. Right now, the team is in the mission room with the holographic computer up, tracking Red Tornado. Robin and KF just arrived. All of the team are dressed as normal civilians, except Phantom and Spook.

"Did you ask him?" Robin asks, running up with KF beside him.

"What did he say?" KF asks, stopping beside Spook.

"Aww, you have freckles," Spook says, admiring Wally's face. KF flashes her a grin.

"He is arriving now," Aqualad says.

"Then what are we waiting for?" KF says excitedly and rushes off toward the front of the cave. They all race after him. The hatch opens, and they all walk up it. KF waves to Red Tornado. "Red Tornado!"

Red Tornado comes down in his tornado and it disperses underneath him. "Greetings. Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?"

"We hoped you had a mission for us," Aqualad responds.

"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility," Red Tornado flat lines.

"But it's been over a week, and nothing–" Robin starts.

"You'll be tested soon enough. For the time being, simply enjoy each other's company," Red Tornado says.

"This team is not a social club," Aqualad says.

"No, but I am told social interaction is an important team-building exercise. Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourself with the cave."

"Keep busy," KF scoffs, lightly punching Robin.

"Does he think we're falling for this?" Robin scoffs.

"Oh, I'll find out," M'gann says.

The system scans Red Tornado as he walks into the cave. "Recognized: Red Tornado, 16."

M'gann sighs. "I'm sorry. I forgot he's a machine, inorganic. I cannot read his mind."

"Nice try, though," KF reassures and looks up to her with a smirk. "So, uh, you know what I'm thinkin' right now?"

"We all know what you're thinkin' now," Robin and Phantom scoff, smacking his back.

"Ow."

"And now we tour the clubhouse," Aqualad sighs.

"Well, Superboy, Phantom, Spook, and I live here. We can play tour guides," M'gann suggests.

Everyone turns to looks at them.

"Don't look at me," Superboy scoffs.

"We won't," KF quickly comments, turning to M'gann and Spook. "A private tour sounds much more fun."

"Sh-she never said private," Robin fusses.

"Team building," Aqualad says. "We will all go."

Robin shoves KF, and he huffs in annoyance.

"What are we, five?" Spook huffs, her and Phantom floating by them.

"Could you walk normally?" Robin huffs.

"Walking is overrated," Phantom scoffs, doing a twirl. "Especially when you can fly."

"So," M'gann interrupts. "This would be our front door..." They head into the cave and head back out from the back. "And this would be the back."

"If you're ever looking for me, I'll most likely be here," Spook says, looking out at the view from the back. "This is my favorite place to be."

"Noted," Kid Flash says.
