"We so do not have the time for this," Danny shook his head. 

"Maybe we should call Melinda and have her set up some wards around this place," White suggested.

"How did they even get in," Dick wondered out loud. "Didn't you two change the passcodes on that keypad upstairs."

"We did," Danny answered. "Tucker must have hacked into our system again."

"I told you to allow me to put enchantments on them," White slapped his brother on the shoulder. "Two times you told me not to and two times they've hacked their way in. Maybe next time you will listen to me."

"Younger siblings should not this right all the time," Danny pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I have three younger brothers of my own, so I understand," Dick says.

"I heard that," Robin glared at the former Boy Wonder.

"Love you too, Rob," Dick smirked at him.

Jazz stood up from the chair by the computers. She stood between her brothers with her arms crossed. She was not going to let any of these four let her think she was on their side even for a second. They chased away her precious baby brothers because they were selfish and cared more about nonsense prejudice than their so-called best friends or their own flesh and blood.

Huntress stood on Siren's other side. She had not spoken one word to the four since she had screamed at them after she found out that the twins had left. To her, the twins deserved far better than this town and these people treated them. She hunted the two down herself for months, treating them like they were monsters. Yet even during those months, they still treated her with kindness and friendship under their human identities. They could have left her alone, treated her just as badly as she treated them, but they tried to befriend her instead. Two people with hearts as big as their's did not deserve to be treated the way they were.

The team also stood around the twins. Last time these four were here, Siren almost took down the entire electrical system with his emotions. And that was not even counting what Phantom most likely did to the stress room when he did his own time in it. There was nothing about these four that told them anything other than that they were the exact type of people that did not deserve to have heroes saving their lives on a regular basis. Phantom and Siren would save them because they're heroes and that is what heroes do. But it is like when Superman ever had to save Lex Luthor when there had been an assassin after him before he had joined the Light. Or when the Flash had to save Pee-A-Boo, Weather Wizard, Rainbow Raider, Mist, and Death Bolt from being vaporized in his pipeline prison when Eobard Thawn tried to activate it again. They help people, even if they are not good people, because that is what heroes do. It is definitely something that takes a lot of courage and strength.

Roland tapped Beetle on the shoulder, getting his attention.

"What," Jaime asked.

"I'm still a little new to all you guys, so what's up with all the glaring at those four," Roland asked.

"Oh, right," Jaime realized that Roland really didn't know about them. "Do you know how Phantom and Siren left their original realm?"

"That news spread throughout the Mystic Isles faster than magical wildfire," Roland tells him.

Beetle decided to ignore the fact that magical wildfire was actually a thing. He did not want to think about what that could even do since it would obviously be worse than normal wildfire.

"Those four are the main reason," Jaime tells him. "When Phantom and Siren needed them the most, they abandoned and abused them. Out of all people that the two thought would abandon them, they were probably among those they thought would never do so. But then they did."
