Long Day (Open to Atlanteans and Ty)
It had been the longest day in Cait's life. They had all been up at the crack of dawn today. Today was the day they were going to return Poseidonis to the ocean floor. They all had been up late at night making sure the last minute details were covered.

The city had been evacuated. The citizens had been taken to Cerdia and Tritonis during the week. It wasn't easy emptying a city. Ty and Cait arrived on Thursday and had helped with last minute repairs. It was easier to repair the city while it was on the surface and some structures also needed additional support for the trip down.

Arthur had even called in the JLA to help. She knew Ty could do it, she didn't have a doubt, but it was always wise to have contingency plans and she had agreed with Arthur on this decision. Thankfully the council had been sent to Tritonis and Arthur and Cait didn't have to deal with them during this.

When it was noon it was time to sink Poseidonis.

The Royal Family and Ty were in the water a little away from the city. Cait put all of her focus on the link she shared with Ty and her faith in him. The waters grew choppy and Poseidonis slowly started to sink. It took about two hours from start to finish before Poseidonis was once again on the ocean floor.

The job wasn't over though. They had to go through the city to see if anything had been damaged in the move. Compared to surface cities Poseidonis was small, but it still took them hours to go through it making sure everything was safe.

When they were done and had determined everything was structurally sound Cait and Ty went to Cerdia to inform the Atlanteans could return home. Garth went to Tritonis.

It would take awhile to get everyone back home, but Cait had made sure the first wave returned home safely. Tomorrow there would be more escorting the citizens home.

Cait was overtired but she couldn't sleep. She moved slowly through the gardens. The plants had all died during their stay on the surface and surface and they had been replaced by plants that could survive on the surface. Now they were all dying. They would have to be removed and new plant life would have to be planted. Such was the way of life in ever turbulent Poseidonis.

"Well," Ash said slowly. "I never thought I would take the lead. I was happy knowing I could just be myself... which back home was a bit more difficult than you would think. Here things are different."

"I can imagine," Cait said. "I'm glad that here you have the change to be yourself and explore what life outside of Atlantis has to offer."

She can't help but smile. "I like Egypt. At night. Cairo is.... sort of pretty. Have you ever been there?"

She bounces on her heels slightly suddenly in a good mood. "I also saw a little bit of Tokyo. That was... interesting."

Cait smiled at Ash's enthusiasm. "I haven't. All of my time on the surface is spent between working and Titans stuff. Atlantis is now taking a big chunk of time as well." Cait gave her a small smile. "I also don't like flying much. I'm prone to getting sick when flying."

"Have you ever tried to learn magic, Cait? Teloportation spells are.... handy." She can't help but wonder if actual flying would make her queasy.

She decides she'll try not to find out. It would be aweful.

"I've tried, but I am magically inept. Arthur seemed pleased at the news."

"Mine were.... not happy. But there's nothing that can be done and I would rather not ignore it. To do so would be foolish."

"It's not a big deal, but I think Arthur didn't want the added complexity of magic thrown into my life. Which I must admit, I'm glad too."

Ash gave a slow shrug. "I've always liked magic. It gave me an area that was mine that I didn't have to share back home. And here it... it grounds me. Gives me peace."

"That's good. We all need something to help ground us." Cait smiled. "I have Ty."

Ash smiled again. Yes there were still things she wouldn't talk about but she was happy for Cait. "He's good for you, I think. And not just because he grounds you."

"He is," Cait agreed. "You should go try to sleep. It's been a long day."
