Max was in his lab, as was often the case. It wasn't that he was antisocial, there was just little of interest to him beyond the room. He didn't dislike his teammates, but honestly didn't really understand them either. So, in his mind, staying where he was was probably the best call.

	Cait looked at the third page. "It says blue." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you." Max moved to cut the wire. "You know you got family, the Titans, and Ty right? You got a lot to live for Cait." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You do as well," she said. "You also have the Titans and a chance to make a difference in this world with your smarts. Besides, I won't leave a fellow Titan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sighs. "Well, I had to try." He cuts the blue wire. "Okay, one more. What am I cutting next?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smirked a little. Besides, if they got blown up Cait stood a better chance at surviving than he did. "Yellow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Max takes the wire cutters... "Cait..there are two yellow wires." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-28 03:52 am UTC (link)
	"Max, it just says yellow. Give me the wire cutters and let me do it. If it goes off, I have a better chance of withstanding the blast due to my Atlantean physiology." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	""And face Ty if you don't? No chance in Hell. You insisted on staying, now I am." He searched his memory for something, anything related to this. His hand held the cutters roughly evenly between the two. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fine," Cait said. "Good luck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Max wracked his brain for something, anything, even remotely resembling a memory on this, his head throbbing from sifting through his collected knowledge. He saw a fragment of..something. When this happened, he surmised it meant he had only glimpsed something. He had seen it, but not read it. Which meant Max would have to do something he was horrible at..trusting his instincts. He took a deep, shay breath and..cut the top yellow wire.

	Cait held her breath as Max cut the wire. She may have closed her eyes the moment the wire cutter closed on the wire. She tentatively opened an eye when there wasn't a big explosion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He continues to breath heavy, head pounding. When it's clear the bomb was deactivated, he fell back onto his butt and just laughed. "Well..guess I better read that whole folder later." He was still breathing heavy as he took a bottle of pills from his pocket. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-29 04:57 am UTC (link)
	Cait released the breath she had been holding. "Well that was a bit exciting. Good job, Max, and yes, reading that whole folder may be wise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	semievilgenius 2012-01-29 04:59 am UTC (link)
	"More excitement than I care for. Thanks, Cait. Got anything to drink?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-29 05:05 am UTC (link)
	Cait pulled some water out of the air and formed a cup out of ice. She pulled some more and put it in the cup. "Here," she said and set it over to him. "Me too. I think the two of us deserve a little boring after this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	semievilgenius 2012-01-29 05:08 am UTC (link)
	He accepts the cup with a grateful nod. He swallows two of the pills and washes them down with the water. He sighs as the painkillers kick in. "Boring sounds pretty damn good right now." He's quiet for a moment. "Cait..thanks for staying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-29 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Cait gave him a smile. "You're welcome. It's what Titans and friends do for each other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	semievilgenius 2012-01-29 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	He seems to think on that, rubbing the cup across his forehead a little. "You know..I never really considered myself a Titan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-29 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Well I hate to break it to you, but you /are/ a Titan." (Reply to this)(Parent)
