Carver's laughter could faintly be heard echoing down through the slide as she pulled herself to a standing position, periodically doubling over again whenever Barrel's complaints got loud enough to be heard up the pipe. Eventually, she managed to make her way down to the lair. See didn't bother changing; her pants needed repaired, Lock had more than one pair of pajama bottoms, and even though he was welcome to fight her for them, the odds of that were pretty low given their plans for the day.

She waited patiently for Shock to finish eating, then subtly motioned for the two of them to step out of earshot from the others. Once they were alone, Carver looked her friend in the eye and made her confession. "The traps and alarms detected an intruder last night. I went down to deal with them, and when I found out what the purpose of the visit was, I allowed her to finish. I know it's your turf here, but I figured you'd find it more amusing than bothersome." 

She shrugged. "If you want to tie me up again and leave me on the lab doorstep for my dad to deal with, that's fair, but you should probably wait until we get the important stuff done, first."

She put the slightest stress on the word "important". Defying or ignoring Shock's authority was a big no-no, but the worse thing would be if it cost them the biggest prank of the century.
