Invasion -

John and Cyber both knew they were in over their head. Cyber was as surprised as John was when he was able to actually get a signal down a mile underwater here in Atlantis. Or rather Poseidonis. King Orin had considered him a guest, and while the two of them were confined to the city as guests. John and Cyber had stepped into a shit storm. He had Sent a message to Janet Van Dyne to let her know he was ok, and tell her of what Orin had told him in a short text message. Doing well Jan, Stumbled on Other World's Atlantis, Aquaman considers us guests. Orin going after Black Manta, who killed his Son, BM hiding somewhere American waters. Am under watch."

When John had learned of Aquaman's intent to get into American waters to go after Black Manta, he had assumed that would be a small strike force. But when it became clear it was the entire Atlantian Navy.

John could understand and over look a strike team. But a full military assault? No he had to tell Janet. So he sent the message to her. "SHIT, NOT A STRIKE TEAM, Looks full Atlantis Navy! someplace Venice! 2-3 days!"

At that point he turned off the device's Wifi and Cyber entered it to physically disconnect the wifi area. He could get it replaced. John and Cyber were hoping that message would get through. And hoping the pair could get out of this... with their heads on their shoulders. John and Cyber had made a promise to not escape. He never said he wouldn't contact the Avengers.
