Welcome to Gaia! ::

The plugs which once were in Cassie's ears had long fallen out... She heard the music and her heart ached inside... Thoughts of her poor friend Eddy.. thoughts of Donna... thoughts of Slobo..Tears streamed down both sides of her face as she just stood there.. and Cassie transformed back to normal but still the tears wouldn't stop as she stood there frozen in her tracks.

Once through the realm of the Furies, Hartley puts down the flute and takes a deep breath. All of the Rogues pretend to stare at the scenery or the ground while they gather themselves.

"Mary, Mother of God, Hartley, what the HELL was that?" Digger broke the silence, kicking a rock at Hartley. "You just about near killed us!"

Hartley kicks the rock back.

"Just something I've been working on. It worked didn't it? Stop bitching. Let's go."

And he walked on, making the other Rogues jog to catch up to him.

After the music stops Cassie dries her eyes...

"I'm okay Dani.. really.. I feel a little dizzy though.. Did something happen to me?.. We should get moving"

The Rogues come to a stop in front of a stream. Across the stream is a portal leading to just outside of the Hero High campus. Len speaks up.

"All right. This is the river Lethe."

Lisa crosses her arms.

"So?"

"If you'd come to the meeting instead of necking with your teacher boyfriend, you'd know!" James snickered until Len shot him a cold look.

"Each of us is to take one swallow, just one-"

James guffawed out loud.

"She's good at that!" Len smacked him in the face.

"ONE swallow, and then go through the gate. The river Lethe is the river of forgetfulness. It'll wipe our memories of everything that happened pertaining to this trip to Hades. That way, Frost will never get it out of us."

Each of them stooped over and took a drink. Hartley paused. It was tempting just to go on drinking forever, until everything was forgotten...but he shook his head and stepped clear just as a fog started to fall over his mind...slightly confused, he followed the other Rogues out through the portal, and back on to Earth.

Cassie looks at Achilles and nods..Then speaks to the crowd.

"Be warned.. the next trial before we reach Themyscira is the cave of desires.. you be given that which you most desire but it is just an illusion.. do not succumb to it or a horrible demon will eat you alive.."

Cassie looks at Zatara..

"Well, how about it Z?"

" Unfortunately my powers have been acting up since we've gotten here..."

" Let me think last time we were here Diana was blindfolded and it helped her get though the cave... maybe if we just cover our eyes we can do the same.."

::Wally zips up to them::

Hey guys! Looks like it's just this cave and then we're out, huh? Awesome! See you at the finish line!

::Walks inside before anyone can tell him anything else::

"LET'S HEAR IT FOR WALLY WEST!"

"For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow"

::Wally looks around, dazzled. It's a giant disco dance party, all in his honor! Doug leads the Peeps in a song as girls wearing nothing but tiny bikinis giggle and rub up against him::

"Oh, Wally, you're so cool!"

"Oh, Wally, you made the honor roll again!"

"Oh, Wally, you're the captain of the football team and the Homecoming King AND you won Dancing with the Stars! Please let me be your girlfriend!"

"No, me!"

"No me!"

"Oh, please, Wally, pick me!"

::Wally smiles as one girl feeds him grapes and two more giggle as they fan him with giant leaf fans. He snaps his fingers and the entire football team jump onto the dance floor and start disco dancing for him::
