Veronica lifted Archie and Betty into the highest branches of a tall tree, and then charged the alien campsite. As a giantess, she put up quite a battle, but was not prepared for the alien weapons which eventually brought her down. They tied her up and continued to discuss their plans to invade earth.

 

Archie and Betty climbed down the tree the slow way, and raced back to their studio. They aired all the footage, and then included an emergency call to the Teen Titans. In their mountain headquarters, Speedy got the message, and picked up Aqualad in a Titan Copter, while Kid Flash and Wondergirl headed for Riverdale under their own steam.

 

“I’ve come to free you,” said Aqualad, “But I’ve been out of water quite a while. I lose my strength and eventually my life if I don’t get wet.”

 

“Then climb in and revitalize first,” said Veronica, and opened her mouth wide.

 

Aqualad slipped over Veronica’s lower lip and slid around in her wet mouth until he felt stronger than ever. Then he climbed out and undid her ropes.

 

“Now throw me towards that lake, while you go into action,” said Aqualad.

 

Veronica did so. Meanwhile, Speedy’s arrows knocked rayguns out of alien hands. Wondergirl deflected rays with her bracelets, while Kid Flash raced from one alien to another, punching them unconscious. Robin lassoed others with his bat rope and snapped on the bat cuffs. It was just one of those tasks in the life of any junior crime fighter.

 

With all of the aliens occupied fighting the Teen Titans, this time none of them were able to notice nor prevent Veronica from picking up their space ship.

 

“Now if the rest of you don’t surrender and stop fighting the Teen Titans, I’ll break your spaceship in half,” said Veronica, “You’ll be stranded here forever.”

 

The remaining aliens threw down their weapons and gave in.

 

“You earthlings have mighty powers,” said the alien leader.

 

“We’re just the kids,” said Robin, “You’re lucky that you didn’t face the Justice League of America. Superman and Green Lantern have flown to several planets to stop invasions at their source. Aquaman protects the entire ocean from any threats to his undersea kingdom of Atlantis.”

 

“If you all leave and warn your home planet’s people never to menace earth again, we’ll let you go,” said Kid Flash, “Otherwise we’ll let the giant girl use your spaceship for a smash toy.”

 

“We will go then,” said the Alien leader, “And thank you for your mercy.”

 

“We won’t be so merciful next time,” said Speedy.

 

They watched the aliens take off.

 

“It was really Veronica who turned the tide in that fight,” said Aqualad, returning from a swim which both washed Veronica’s tongue moisture off his body and gave him a much better source of life and strength, “She’d sure be great on this team, especially if I get too dry again in the middle of a mission.”

 

“So long as all you do is get wet,” thought Dilton Doylie, slightly jealous of Aqualad’s new friendship with Veronica.
