Frisco Blues (Titans)
It started as any other morning in San Francisco. The sun came up in the East and people climbed from the beds to start their day.

The Titans in Titans Tower were starting their day. Their new sister team from the East were visiting for a meeting to discuss the current situation. While they were inside making plans, the waters of the Pacific started to churn. Waves kicked up and dark clouds blocked out the light of the sun.

The water quickly pulled back from the shore and things were calm for the briefest of moments. Then a huge tsunami crashed ashore and water flooded the lower half of the city.

	Iris nodded. "All Titans...retreat. Now." Her voice rang out over the comms. "We can't go to the Tower so...if anyone has any ideas, now's the time to say them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah was feeling good enough to get airborne, heading back toward the Bug. "Kord Tower, San Fransisco. It's got a hidden hangar for the Bug. A little unused... but as safe as it gets for regrouping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

So... hard to focus with Ruth suddenly distraught, and Cait... dead again. But he has to get through this, and even at her worst, Ruth is still Dove.

/Dinah, if you'll open your thoughts to me, think very hard of a location you know in the tower, I can teleport us all there... once. I'll probably be pretty useless for a while after that. We can't let them follow us./

At least he hopes he can.

	Ty? Hadn't Ty been on the bad guy's side when this started? Maybe she needed to start paying more attention to the rest of the fight... especially if she was going to be Titans East's leader like Lily had called her... She opened her mind, thinking hard on the hangar bay of the tower. plenty of room for them all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ruth, at least, can hear his thoughts - mostly along the lines of 'please let me do this, this once, please.'

Ty tries very hard to focus on the moment,having seen what's coming. There's a burst of magical light, and the grouped heroes disappear, reappearing in the hangar bay.

/I... I... everyone... we're safe here for now... I think. I... am going to go have a nervous breakdown now./

	Ruth clutches Ty's hands. She can hear it all right, and, well, she's praying for him. She breathes steadily, sitting with him. "S'okay, Ty. You're entitled. Just try to keep it down a little..." But... ...Jay. And she didn't even know how it had happened. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ty wishes, desperately, that he could tell Ruth its ok. Having lost his love, he would trade his right arm at this moment to be able to tell her he'll be alright for a couple hours. She can take some time, mourn, do what she has to do. She's been there for him, a steady and consistent source of sanity - its almost more than he can bear to make her take his stress on top of his own.

He can't. He's not strong enough. He knows, without her, he could manifest anyone - including William Hand again. For all his power, all his powers, the one thing he can't fight is himself. He can tear a palace from its foundations, crumble it to dust - but he can't spare a true friend who has sacrificed so much even a few moments alone to deal with her pain.

Instead, he just nods to her request and gently squeezes her hand, looking, for all the world, like a scared little boy.

Just between them, across the link, on picking up that last thought, he does offer her the one thing he can.

/I can show you how... if you want?/

	He nods, gives her hand one more gentle squeeze, then kicks in both his awareness of the field, via his controller at the time, and his photographic memory - stuck with the recollection of everything that happened in the city during the attack for the rest of his life. For her, he just shares the short meeting between Jay and his father. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And the questions fluttering about her head are replaced with -- that, and there's a brief keening sound of grieving horror for a moment, before she breathes. And starts humming a hymn, like she often does. It's not the usual hymn for keeping her temper, because this certainly isn't about that. A nice, simple, soothe-the-soul song that doesn't take a lot of thinking.

Which is good, because there isn't much good to think right now. Her religion is one of love and dignity and respect for the rhythms of nature. It's one of the things that keeps her going. There are Walking Corpses, and they've taken the boy she loves, and they're not going to stop. It's hard to synchronize those things, so thinking too hard is not good right now. So she holds Ty, and she hums, and breathes, and tries to find her peace again.

If she could let her mind wander to the others, she could hope that Iris and Dinah can direct the others into coming up with a plan. But she can't even spare that right now. Just hold Ty so they can try to bear up together under their collective pain.

Dinah's faceplate peeled back with a slightly organic clicking sound.

"Okay, people," she said. "I know what we just went through was traumatic for some of us. Myself included."

She did a headcount and realized that Jay wasn't among them. Goddammit. This kind of thing doesn't happen. We're the good guys. We're supposed to all come home and the bad guys go to jail, and then we fade out with everybody laughing at a joke the "kid identification" character made. This isn't... this isn't how it goes.

"But right now... right now we need to look beyond ourselves. Whatever this is, it's bigger than all of us. I need everybody here level headed and focused. Because I get the feeling that what we saw tonight was just the tip of the iceberg.

"We call ourselves heroes. Now's the time to prove it. We've got to rise above ourselves and get back in this fight as soon as we can.

"Whatever these things are, no matter who they look like, they aren't our friends and loved ones. Not anymore. They're just meat puppets. And we need to remember that if we're going to stop them."

Ty is mostly still clinging to Ruth, but Dinah's emergence as a leader gets his attention.

"I...I can tell you what they are. I don't know... don't know everything... but I saw some of what's going on. The... the book of the black has been unsealed and re-opened. The black rings have a new power source... and they've swarmed the... swarmed the lantern batteries and removed the oranges from play... so we can't free the white light."

	"Don't worry about moving me. I...I can make it." Mitzi says, breathing a little heavily. She's still weak from helping Lily, but she's got enough power to pull off the idea that she's got in her mind. Later, she will wonder how she came up with that idea at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jarrod was already there having teleported there earlier. He had gotten a feeling he should be there and after doing what he could to help out around the city not that it had been much since he wouldn’t use his telepathy on the Black Lanterns and really didn’t have much of a wait to deal with them other than teleporting away.

He hadn’t said much his head was really hurting him and he was getting tired from the amount of teleporting he had done while that day. When he heard what Ty had said he immediately knew he had seen that coming a while ago. It made him really think that there should be a data base or something for pre-cogs so that they could look through all the possibilities with ease about their visions so that they can actually help more, because he really felt like he should be able to do more or help more.

“I can probably get this information out to the others and see if anything might come to me that could help,” Jarrod said.

	Adam was not very happy. He wanted to be back out in the streets helping right now. This was not the type of planning he was really good at. Plus on top of that a really good friend of his was hurt. So he was off in the corner brooding wait for them to decide what they were doing since right not all he was really thinking in terms of plans was crush the Black Lanterns. (Reply to this)(Parent)
