The Return of Kid Amazo
Cait decided to spend a day or two at the cottage before heading back to San Francisco. She needed a day or two to decompress after spending the past week in Atlantis. Dealing with Arthur was always stressful, this time being no different. Amnesty Bay was the perfect place to decompress and get some peace and quiet.

She walked out of the ocean and pulled the water out of her clothes and hair. She headed for the small cottage at the base of the lighthouse. She opened the door, stepped inside and never saw the blow. Pain spiked at the back of her neck and the world went dark.

"Bring her," a male voice said and a figure stepped out of the shadows. The man next to him picked up Cait's inert body and threw it over a shoulder. The two men left the small cottage.

	Indeed he does. There was no way he'd be able to remain quiet if he did this, but..oh well. He snapped the temperature control off and made a beeline behind some equipment before one of the Five saw him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Fearsome Five didn't notice the equipment making noise. They were too busy fighting the JSA and Titans. There was another small control panel to Max's right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Max looked from his makeshift hiding spot, practically hyperventilating as the superhuman battle went on before him. He took a look at Cait's tank to remind himself why he was doing this. He took a settling breath before carefully making his way over to the panel. After a few moments of learning the functions, Max flips a few switches and pulls a lever.

	Max ran over to her, trying to help her up. "You okay, Cait?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I need water," she said past parched and cracked lips. She managed to get her feet under her, but leaned more on Max. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We'll get you water," he promised, doing his best to support her. "but we need to get you the hell out of here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait nodded and leaned on Max. With a lot of effort she managed to take a few steps. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth manages to follow Max in eventually, and help take a side of Cait helping towards the exit. As soon as they got her to the water, they'd have to talk about Ty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait stumbled her way to the chamber exit with the help of Ruth and Max. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, I think we're in the clear for now." Max unlatches a bottle from his belt and hands it to Cait. "Drink this. It won't be a full revitalizer, but it should give you some pep." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2013-06-24 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Drink a little, and then we keep going. The others are dealing with the bad guys, and Dr. Fate is waiting. We have to fix things with Ty." Ruth's still on the alert, but the others do seem to be keeping the bad guys occupied. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2013-06-24 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	Cait took the offered water and guzzled it down in a few seconds. She felt better, but she was still weak and would be until she could return to the ocean. "Thank you," she said and nodded. "Let's go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2013-06-24 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	And on they went, avoiding the chaos as best they could. Ruth supported most of Cait's additional weight hurrying her along. "I think I see Dr. Fate. We're almost there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jacob thought he heard voices from inside. He stepped in a little closer to see two of the Titans carrying a third person. "Mark, I think they've got her!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2013-06-26 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	Cait tried to hurry. She wanted to be in the water in the worst way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2013-06-26 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	"I see." He would politely remind Jacob that Doctor Fate is... pretty different from Mark. Maybe Jacob doesn't kno. It doesn't matter. He goes to the water to help Cait and Ruth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2013-06-27 12:09 am UTC (link)
	And once they get Cait out onto the shore and into the water, Ruth lets herself breath with a little relief, but not long. "Dr. Fate, and you do anything to mentally connect the three of us? We have to try to reach Ty before people get killed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This is where Steven comes in. Held in reserve in case something went wrong, or a quicker evac turned out to be needed. He shows up with the group, once they're confirmed out of the radius of the base. "So far, things are mostly holding up. I did a couple circuits, but the riots are going to get out of hand, like that Elder God thing, pretty soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When it's clear Cait's safe for the moment, Max sits on the ground in a flop. He removes one of his pills from his belt for the migraine the stress brought on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The water rose up to engulf Cait and then a moment later she dived under the waves. It was a long few moments before a water spout shot high up into the air and Cait stood on top of it.

A trident formed from ice was in her hand and a look on her face that would make people with even the strongest willpowers back down.

"Let's end this now," she said. "Get everyone out of there." The water around her started to swell into a giant wave and it just stayed there.

	No doubt if Ruth was trying to confront Cait, she would back down. But she doesn't see confrontation as the equation. "The others are keeping those losers dealt with. We need to contact Ty." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2013-06-27 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Indeed. It is vital that you establish contact with him," Fate intones seriously. It is hard to tell just how serious Doctor Fate is. His tone tends to be very serious all of the time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2013-06-28 12:08 am UTC (link)
	Cait wanted to see Devil Ray and his crew badly hurt, but Ty was more important. The JSA and Titans battling the Fearsome Five could handle them. Ty needed her more. The water receded into the ocean. Cait nodded. "Take me to him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ok, Fate will probably do most of the heavy lifting here - I'm going to focus on speeding you all up, so everyone can keep up. Kind of like Amazo, I think that was the main difficulty before... he's using all those other powers at an accelerated rate. Hopefully this will give you all a chance to get to him."
