Don't go wasting your emotion...
Iris was a little disoriented from her and the Titans scuffle with the Raiderettes. It had to be one of the weirdest fights she'd ever had. She wasn't even sure if they'd won...or if they got their asses kicked in the process.

And where did that Jayhawk guy go, anyway?

But that didn't matter, right now, what matter was that Ceridan was lying on the floor, hurt! Iris raced over to him, her arms still full of cookies. He was her TRUE LOVE and his safety was ALL THAT MATTERED right now.

"Cerdian?" she asked, "Are you okay?"

	Cait sighed and put an arm around Iris. "It's okay, Iris. He's just a jerk." Cait looked around. "Dinah, want to contact the Tower and tell Ty or someone we need a ride home?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah landed in the fountain with a loud splash. She looked at all the shiny, shiny coins. "...MINE!" she cackled, and went about scrambling for them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ruth's blood pressure starts to surge again at this incorrigible display.

But no.
This is wrong.

Ruth takes a deep breath, whispers in a talk-singing way under her breath, "I do not ask for any crown/but that which all may win,/nor try to conquer any word/except the one within." Another deep breath for good measure.
And the weight feels like it's lifting. Slightly. She's not happy by any stretch of the imagination, but she's keeping it together.

"Aquagirl's right. We need to focus. See about getting in touch with your people," she says calmly, trying to try to project the kind of tone a person can concentrate on, instincts she doesn't fully understand taking over slightly.

	Iris looked at Cait. "It's YOUR fault! YOU made him go!" She stood up. "I HATE YOU!!!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait was used to dealing with emotionally charged people. She did have to deal with her father. "Iris, he probably went back to base. Let's go back and check, shall we?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He could have gone somewhere far away! He could have gone to Atlantis!" She sobbed. "I'll never see him again and it's YOUR fault!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth hears them both, then says "Iris," as she crouches to meet the younger girl's eyes. "You need to listen." Her tone is calm, collected, and firm while still managing to keep the anger away. "Crying and shouting aren't going to help. You need to focus. Take a deep breath. We need to get back to base." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Coins clutched in her hands, Dinah looked up at the prospect of going back to base. "Er, yeah..." she said. "I, ah, left things there. There that are mine. Yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris looked up at Ruth, rubbing her eyes. "Right," she said, "We have to get back to base." Cerdian was there, after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait released Iris and went off to the side to contact the Tower. A moment later she came back. "Read to teleport out. Everyone stand still." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's disturbed by what he's getting off of Cait, and even more that she's shutting him out. But after Cthulhu, he swore to try and help her any time he could, try to never abandon her again. He won't now. A moment later, they all vanish in puffs of purple smoke, and reappear in a flash of violet light at the tower. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay. That was new," Ruth says as pleasantly as possible as they materialize. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You never get used to it," Cait grumbled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Where's Cerdian?" Iris sped off around the Tower, looking for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah looked around, trying to decide what was worth taking. "Now... what of this is mine...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth turned to Cait. "Okay," she asks, reasonably quietly. "We seem to be the best at managing to keep things together right now. At least, I'm assuming so, because I don't want to think your friends are normally this stupid. If something's been done to their heads, what are we supposed to do about it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We talk to Ty. He may have an idea how to fix things." (Reply to this)(Parent)
