[The screen was completely black before a storm was seen by the ocean. There sat the mansion. A younger version of Tony was inside looking out the huge window when he noticed something or someone by the shore.]

[The next scene was Tony wearing a huge coat and rushing down towards the shore with a large torch in his hand, that's when Mera's voice was heard.]

Mera: "Jules Verne once wrote, "Put two ships in the open sea without wind or tide, they will come together." 

[Tony got closer and found the younger version of Atlanta on the seashore. He looked at her and found a cut on the right side of her torso which was holding a trident. He carried her up.]

Mera: "That's how my birth parents met. Like two ships destined for each other."

Tony smiles and puts a hand over Mera's. Mera smiled back at him before looking at the screen.

Aisha pursed her lips. She knew the story of how they first met. Queen Atlanna fled from an arranged marriage. Bit like her, really.

[The scene cuts to Tony coming inside and laying the woman on his couch as the TV plays on. The power then gets cut out. The woman starts to couch out water before looking back up and finds Tony.]

Tony: "It's ok, it's ok." [As soon as she made eye contact with him, he smiled. The woman's eyes widened before she got her trident and choked him on the wall.]

Atlanna looked at Tony apologetically in silence. Tony smiled and shook his head before the two looked back at the screen. It's weird now, they both moved on and had their own things to do.

Tony: "Easy, easy- You weren't breathing.-" [Just then the lights turned back on. She looked at the huge television where a commercial was playing. She dropped Tony aimed her trident towards the TV and destroyed it. She stood up as Tony looked back at her. She touched her cut on the right torso, before stumbling. Tony slowly approached]

Mera: "They were from different worlds.-" [Atlanta fell and Tony caught her.] "But life, like the sea has a way of bringing people together." [The camera slowly panned around and it was morning. Atlanta was sound asleep on the couch, she opened her eyes and got up, looking around the place. She got her blanket off of her and found herself completely bandaged up. She looked back and touched the pillow with fascination. She then found a fish tank by the sofa. She caught a fish before sipping on it]

Tony: "Uh," [She looked and found Tony with two glasses of tea.] "I was gonna make you some eggs." [She finished the fish.]

Everyone laughed as Atlanna looked away in embarrassment. Mera just smiled before looking at her hands.

[Tony came around as she backed away.]

Tony: "It's ok, it's ok.-" [He sat down on the sofa opposite her.] "I made tea.-" [He blew on it before gesturing to her] "Go on, try it. It'll make you better." [She took it before blowing on it. Tony did the same before he took a sip. She rolled her eyes around the whole place before looking back at Tony and smiling.] "So, uh, who are you?"

Atlanna: "Atlanna. Queen of Atlantis." [Tony looked at her with wide eyes.]

Tony: "Wow. I'm Tony. CEO of Starks Industries." [He laughed, Atlanna smiled before nodding. They both continued to sip on their drinks as the camera panned on a snow globe of the mansion. It zoomed in and suddenly it came to life. Atlanna was by the balcony as the snow fell. Tony came out with a blanket and wrapped it around her. They both looked at each other.]
