Snow, Initiation, and Nightmares!

Start from the beginning
                                    

Robin's watch buzzes and he answers, gathering the others so nobody sees. "Hello?"

"Where are you?" Batman asks.

"Just outside the mountain, playing in the snow," Robin answers. "Why?"

"I'd like for you all to meet a new teammate."

"New teammate!" Megan squeals. "Yay!"

"Be there soon," Robin says, hanging up and turning to the twins with a grin. "New teammate, new initiation ritual."

"What?" Artemis asks. "Initiation ritual?"

Robin smirks. "One I just came up with."

"And it involves the twins?" Wally asks, eyeing the two. "Oh! I think I'm following."

"I will not condone this behavior," Kaldur confirms.

"Have a little fun, Kaldur," Megan reasons, placing a hand on his shoulder. He sighs.

Robin ignores Kaldur and turns to the twins. "You like pranks, right?"

"Obviously," the two ghosts grin.

"So here's the plan, you two along with Greta will not introduce yourselves just show up like a ghost and haunt," Robin says. "Everyone has to pretend not to see or know about you."

The two cackle. "We love it." They salute then disappear from sight.

"I think this is a fun little welcome for joining the team," Megan admits.

"This should be interesting," Conner says.

"This is so going to be the new thing for new members," Wally cheers.

The ghosts transport into the mission room but stay invisible.

Spook moves over to Batman while Phantom goes to find Greta to tell her the plan. Spook takes a look at the new girl and the older man accompanying her. Batman turns around to the two.

"The team should arrive soon," Batman says, turning to pull up a holoscreen. "You should fit right in."

The female halfa floats up beside Batman and whispers in his ear, causing him to tense for a second, unnoticed because of his suit. "We are giving her an initiation ritual. Us ghosts are going to haunt and scare so play along. Tell the rest of the league too but not to anyone new."

"Fair," Batman whispers back. "Don't go overboard."

Spook smiles, obviously unnoticed. "Noted." She teleports to the hallway, becoming visible in an area that the new girl could see. The girl gasps as she sees her go through a wall.

"I told Greta the plan," Phantom tells his sister once she appears beside him.

"Awesome, this is gonna be so much fun!" Spook grins. "Let's shift clothes."

"Good idea," Phantom agrees, changing into some lazy day clothes, a black shirt with some gray sweats.

"Really lazy?"

"First thing I though of. What are you gonna wear Miss Attitude?"

She shifts her suit into a long flowy white dress. "This."

"Typical ghost girl."

She grins. "Let's head to the mission room to find out her name."

The two turn invisible and head back to the mission room just in time for the team to arrive.

"Team, I'd like to introduce you to your new teammate," Batman says, gesturing to the girl.

The man, obviously her mentor, gives her a light shove forward. The dark skinned girl's eyes are shining and she gives a faint squeal.
