There's a splash near Ty. He turns, startled, crouching to lift up... whatever it was.
His girlfriend's head.
"No... no...gods...no." his hands shake. Ruth has to support him for all she's worth - but a manifestation doesn't quite happen, but its that close.
"I...Cait... I failed you once. I won't fail you again. If I can't save you... I'll make sure you rest."
A hand moves, and some of the water rises. Another movement, her body flies off the roof and drops to hover just next to him. Placing the head and the body almost together, water begins to weave around her, until Cait looks like she's preserved in a snowglobe, perfect and unmoving.
With a moment's more focus, he locks it into near stasis, slowing the bubble down to one-ten-millionth time.
"Iris..." he says quietly.
"They're playing with us. They have Superman, Doomsday, more Titans... they could kill us... but they want to kill our hopes, make us fear... they've all but destroyed the lantern batteries... we can't get to the white light... my dad is coming. We need to run. Find the others... before they quit playing."
