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.

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	Cait tried to hurry. She wanted to be in the water in the worst way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	madeofgoesfast 2013-06-28 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"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."

	Ruth nodded. Right, let's do this. "Cait, this is going to be hard, but we've got to stay calm." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	handofnabu 2013-06-29 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Doctor Fate starts to cast the spell to open the connection. It is like being the phone connection between Cait, Ruth and Ty. Thankfully with the Flash here things go much faster. "Whenever you are ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2013-06-29 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Cait nodded and closed her eyes. She reached out with her mind, trying to find the familiar presence of Ty's mind. Ty, my love, she sent out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth breathed deeply and tried to essentially shore things up, providing some added stability to the 'call' to Ty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2013-06-29 04:03 am UTC (link)
	There is most certainly something very, very wrong there. Cait's connection remains, but the pairs of them, and to a lesser degree, Fate, can feel another mind acting on the current situation - keeping Ty's awareness somewhat buried. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait knew an all out assault wouldn't work. Hammond was stronger and more experienced than she was and she wouldn't be able to get past him and Ty. She needed to be like an eel and wiggle in between the cracks rather than be a whale or shark. She took a deep breath and minimized her presence and tried to follow the link past Hammon and back to Ty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2013-06-29 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	Hammond thrives on strong emotions, especially negative ones. The last thing he expects is for Cait to use subtlety - and Ruth's calming presence helps mask her. Cait will find a portion of Ty's mind definitely occupied solely by Ty. "Cait?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2013-06-29 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Ty, my love," she said. "I need your help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2013-06-29 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	"I... I can't. I can't fight him. He'll hurt you if I fight back. Even if I lose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2013-06-29 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	"You can do this, my love. I know you can. I will die if you do not break free of his control. He will kill me and a lot of other people. I know you have it in you to do this." Cait showed him how she saw him. Strong, brave and there wasn't anything he couldn't do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2013-06-29 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	Ty takes a few deep breaths, trying to steel his resolve. Cait can now feel Hammond trying to root through Ty's mind to find whatever is causing this new stirring before Ty can work up the will to battle for control. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
