Happy Birthday, Cait
The entire world is reeling from the aftermath of the near disaster with an elder god's rise. Nowhere is more hurt than San Francisco, including Titan's Tower, and the ravaged bay. Normally, he tries to be very careful not to overuse his powers, tries not to leave the world too affected. But this is special - its both home, and its just before Cait's birthday. As such, all of his normal rules are off.

First there's the city. He isn't so bold as to try and fix the trauma and pain and all, but he can blanket the area with positive psychic impressions, and push people towards good dreams and limit the nightmares. Its a start. Then there's the damage done - using Calculator's memory of everything he's seen while above the city, he slows time until he's effectively moving at 99.999% of light speed, and begins transmuting everything back the way it was - but clean, lacking all the dirt and wear and tear, making the city as new as if everything had just been built. Even at his speed, it takes most of a day.

Then he turns his attention to the Bay - its been most ravaged of all. Death and decay fill it, lifeless fish and other creatures float on the water and litter the sea floor. Somewhere between ocean master's magic and bending time, he starts by accelerating the processes, the decayed things rot away, and become fertilizer in very little time. The spawn slime and acid is disintegrated so things can grow anew, and for good measure, he takes decades of pollution with it. With Poison Ivy's powers, he grows new plant life, then speeds its growth, rebuilding the shattered ecosphere.

Ocean Master's magic and telepathy helps him locate examples of the sea life that should live there, this time leaving out all the invasive species that had moved along the coast. He teleports a few breeding pairs of everything that should be there from elsewhere, restocking the bay. There's not near as much life there as before, but there's the bare bones for recovery.

He's given her not just San Francisco back, but renewed the city, and especially the Bay, and helped the people towards some kind of recovery, but there's one step left.
Reaching out into the ocean, he finds what he's looking for - and he returns a pod of Pacific White-Sided Dolphins to the Bay area, working just one bit of magic. One of the pregnant females undergoes just a little bit of magic, boosting her health and suitability as a mother, and the timescale is time-sped up just right.

When Cait wakes up tomorrow morning, amidst all of the astounded other headlines and reports of various signs of hope will be one that should stand out to her - just to make sure, he plants a suggestion in the lead editor's head, and makes sure there's a good photograph of the pod in the Bay, used as a sign of hope and renewal for the damaged region, making sure when she wakes, there'll be a newspaper nearby with a photo and large headline about the birth of a brand new baby pink dolphin in San Francisco Bay.

Cait woke up with sunlight pouring in her window. It didn't feel like it was her birthday and she didn't feel a year older. Actually she felt a few years older. So much had happened in the past year and very recently that it felt like a few years had passed instead of one.

She needed to swim and be in the water for a bit. She felt too dry and for her that was a bad thing.

Swim, shower, and food in that order. Then she may be ready to face the day. Mother and Father would most likely be paying a visit, they did every year on her birthday, and Cait needed all the strength she had to face that.

She stretched and something crinkled. Puzzled, she looked over and found a newspaper on the bed next to her. She picked it up. Blinked.

A very loud squee could be heard coming from Cait's room.

Her room is her room, he doesn't invade her space, but he can't help but feel the squee through their link.

//Good morning, love. Happy birthday.//

Cait stumbled as she tried to pull on clothes and run out of the room at the same time. //Morning Ty. Thanks. Did you see the paper? I'm on my way down to the water. There's pink dolphin!//

//I know there's a pink dolphin, love. Its part of your birthday present.// he responds.

When she gets out of the tower, the city is, to put it mildly, fixed. Even the pollution is gone. There's no damage, the water is clean and pristine, all the plants have returned, and the basis for reconstructing the animal life is there, even if its still years from a total recovery.

Cait got outside and froze. //My gods, Ty, this is amazing,// she said as she looked at the bay and the city. //You shouldn't have. It's too much.//

Leaving Ty in the kitchen to make pancakes, Cait went searching for Iris.

And she'd find Iris on the sofa in the lounge, sitting still. Kinda. She was flipping through channels on the t.v. at warp speed.

Iris perked her head up. "Sure!" She hopped off the couch, running over to Cait to wrap her in a HUGE hug. "It's your birthday?! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Yes, Cait was getting a surprise party soon.

Cait stood there. She wasn't quite expecting that. "Yes and Ty gave me an incredible gift. She's in the bay. Want to go see?"

Arthur surfaces behind them.

"Cait," he offers. "Happy birthday."

//Good to see you,// Arthur offers to the pod of dolphins.

Cait practically jumped at the sound of a sudden voice and had a stream of water ready to go. "Daddy? By Poseidon's beard, don't scare me like that!" Despite the fright she hugged him and then her mother who was right next to him.

After what's happened the last few days, Ty is jumpy. The sudden feeling of intense surprise and nervousness from Cait gets a quick response. He teleports to her side, hovering above the water, on the defensive at first.

Then he sees who it is, and he pales.
"Please don't hit me... sir."

At least this time he's wearing clothes.

"How are things going here on the surface?" he asks his daughter.

Cait walked back up with her parents. She only had to get through breakfast. Then her parents would probably leave and life could go back to normal.

"That smells great," Cait said as they entered the kitchen. She gave Ty a reassuring smile. So far Daddy wasn't in a hitting mood. Cait just hoped he stayed that way.

"I'm so sorry," Cait apologized after her mother left. "Daddy's usually not that bad."

Cait knew her father loved her and knew he wanted her to take her rightful position in Atlantis, he just wasn't good at dealing with people at times. She didn't love him any less, but it didn't mean she couldn't be mad at him or a little embarrassed by his behavior.
