Rescuing the Princess
Being "kidnapped" by an ice dragon was fun when it was her and Ty, but getting abducted by a real one wasn't fun. Of course being stark naked on top of it really didn't make things any better. Today was definitely one of those days Cait should have stayed in bed.

Whatever the dragon was made of it wasn't just ice. It looked like ice, it felt cold like ice, but it wasn't pure ice. Ice was frozen water and Cait couldn't use her powers on it at all and she wasn't going to break free of its strong grasp anytime soon.

It took her back to its "castle", which really was nothing more than the top of Coit Tower on the top of Telegraph Hill. She did have to admit that the view of San Francisco was amazing, but she would rather not be there at the moment. She couldn't do anything but wait for Ty or the Titans, if Ty was still dealing with unruly facial hair, to come rescue her.

	Ty is finally free of the influence of his own evil moustache, and is none too happy with a certain dragon about now. He's managed to transmute a new uniform for himself while on the way, and otherwise has pushed his personal speed, and bent time as much as he was able, not quite catching up - but not that far behind the dragon.

	The dragon held on to his prize and saw Ty approaching. It roared and breathed a blast of ice and cold toward Ty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty counters with a burst of fire, then manipulates the resulting steam into a thick cloud to disguise his approach as he rushes forward, building up speed as he goes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The dragon wasn't about to give up. He roared again and there was another blast of ice and cold. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty walks right into that one. For a moment, the ice encases him, stopping his momentum just short. He builds up a yellow sheath tight to his body, and expands it, sending ice shards exploding outward, and a yellow hand reaches for the dragon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The dragon was a little surprised to see the person still standing. The dragon tried to bite the yellow hand and swiped at the boy with a clawed foot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The yellow hand dissipates under the attack, while Ty manages only to evade the worst of it, taking shallow, icy claw wounds in the process. He counters with a punching motion of his other hand, sending a violet wave of force heading for the dragon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The violet wave slammed into the dragon and it roared. Cracks started to appear in the "ice". The hand holding Cait opened and she fell to the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty shifts his attention, telekinetic force reaching out to snag Cait before she hits the ground, leaving himself open to the dragon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The dragon tried to grab his prize. He didn't want her getting away from him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That startles him back into awareness, and, luckily it didn't go for him. The Deathstroke tactical computer in his brain will be chiding him for hours. He moves into Zoom-time, seeing the rest of the world slow to a near crawl as he orients, and aims a martial arts punch for the break in the ice, trying to break the ice dragon like he'd shatter ice blocks.

	The dragon was still for a second and then shattered into a million pieces. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty shields Cait as best he can, just covering his own eyes and taking the barrage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2011-05-04 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Cait landed on the ground and was very thankful for the shielding. She ran to check on Ty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thankfully, his invulnerability seems solid against ice. He's shaking a little with effort and trying to not manifest again now under the stress. But the dragon seems to be gone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait wrapped her arms around him and kissed him while at the same time strengthening her mental link with him. "My hero. I love you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2011-05-04 03:08 am UTC (link)
	Re-stabilizing the mental link finally settles him down, and the shaking stops. He does clothe her in violet - before he starts having trouble focusing again, then kisses her back. I love you too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I guess the princess does get to be rescued after all," Cait said. "Just a little later than usual." For them it was a Christmas tradition, which had been missed this past Christmas with her being dead and all. "Do you think you could take us home?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2011-05-04 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Yes... yes, I can get everyone home. The sooner the better. He really preferred when the ice dragons were only a Christmas thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then take us home," she said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty gestures, and here, and back at the city, the Titans are teleported home to the Tower, to their own rooms to avoid any incidents, given their cobbled together and transmuted clothing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2011-05-04 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	Returning home was always good and Cait was very glad to be home. As soon as she let go of Ty she went to put some clothes on. The events in San Francisco weighed on her mind as she pulled on a tee-shirt and jeans. She knew what they needed to do. Once dressed she went looking for Ty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2011-05-04 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	He's easy to find, at least. As with most other times he's trying to settle his mind and deal with things, Ty has retreated to his lab. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2011-05-04 06:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey," she said as she entered the small loft that had become a makeshift lab in the small cottage. "Got a minute?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
