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?"

	"I'm sorry I wasn't able to help any, Cait. Nice to meet you, Ruth... but... better circumstances? What happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Iris called us in to help with a mall robbery and well...they got away." It had been a rather poor showing by the Titans. Though in their defense they were still new as a team and still learning to work together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And my boyfriend ran off with them." Ruth sighs through clenched teeth. "We are excessively new at the superhero thing. Or maybe I should say he's excessively new at the petty supercriminal thing. I don't even know anymore for sure, but I think something's wrong." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Something is definitely wrong... Cait got a lot angrier all of a sudden, and I'm picking up the same mental vibes off of you. I'm not precisely sure if I can fix anything - but I might be able to enhance your concentration, if you'll let me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-05-04 07:00 am UTC (link)
	"Cerdian was being a jerk," she blurted out without thinking. Anger rose at the thought of him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-05-04 07:01 am UTC (link)
	"He did seem very jerklike, yes," Ruth concurred. She nodded to Ty. "That would be great. I've been trying as hard as I can to stay composed and help everyone else get it together, but it's...really hard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2010-05-04 07:06 am UTC (link)
	Ty closes his eyes and focuses. When he opens them again, his eyes have gone blank, but he has a link to Ruth, reinforcing her concentration and will with his own. "Something has definitely messed with your mind... heightened levels of aggression, psychic residue... not sure what, but I'm guessing its the source of your trouble." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-05-04 07:10 am UTC (link)
	Cait patiently waited. She knew Ty needed to focus and concentrate and she wasn't going to disturb him. Normally she shared a link with him to help him, but she had broken it during the fight at the mall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-05-04 07:14 am UTC (link)
	Well, this is new. "Sure sounds about right. Not that keeping it together would be easy when getting dumped for a petty-theft harem in any case, but..." She breathed. "This is helping. Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2010-05-04 07:16 am UTC (link)
	"No problem. I usually have a mental link with at least Cait, if not more people. It makes things... a lot easier for me. I'm guessing your boyfriend was also affected... or a total jerk. I'm sorry, in any case. How can I help?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-05-04 07:18 am UTC (link)
	"Some of the other Titans were affected," Cait added. "Cerdian, Iris, Dinah...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-05-04 07:23 am UTC (link)
	"...If they're taking advantage of him, we need to help him," Ruth says quietly. "Yes. Hopefully you can help them if we can get them to sit still for a moment. And then we can start looking for those ...oh, what are they actually called, it's something silly, heard it on the news once. The Rainbow Raiderettes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ty considers, then shakes his head. "Haven't heard anything about them. And emotion control is a delicate thing. I can try and free someone from it, but it'd be safer if I can mitigate the effects and let it run its course some? If you're in a hurry I can try it though. Cait - I might need your help for that though... I can shield myself from the backlash coming off your two minds, but more than that might start getting a little stressful."

	Cait eyed him and eventually nodded. "Fine," she relented. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-05-04 07:33 am UTC (link)
	Ruth just listens and nods as well. "Every little bit helps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2010-05-04 07:37 am UTC (link)
	Ty reestablishes his link with Cait, trying to reinforce her will and shield her from some of the worst of the effect as well. "I can feel the others... and definite boosted emotional intensities. Cerdian isn't here though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-05-04 07:41 am UTC (link)
	Cait didn't mind Ty in her mind, she had grown used to him being there, but now she tried to block off the section of the hatred that she held for Cerdian. She didn't say anything at the mention of his name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-05-04 07:43 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, so... is there some kind of standard Superhero procedure when looking for a specific set of criminals? Should we just listen to the news and wait for them to pull something else and hope they bring Jay along?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2010-05-04 07:46 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm, maybe we can find something to research on them on the base computers... or I can try and trace them for you. I'm guessing, from the emotional spikes in your mind, that you have a strong sympathetic link to your boyfriend. I can try and teleport you and the others to him when you're ready?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-05-04 07:50 am UTC (link)
	"I guess that's one way of putting it. I'd like to think so, anyway." She nods. "Sounds like a plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2010-05-04 08:03 am UTC (link)
	"Trust me, you do. I'm sure he's under the same influence you are, just a different emotion. When you're ready... whether you want to wait it out, or have me try and recover people faster, let me know. I'll help if I can... but can't go with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-05-04 08:05 am UTC (link)
	"We'll find him," Cait said. Cait was sure he could feel her emotions through the link despite her efforts to hide them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-05-04 08:09 am UTC (link)
	"That makes sense, since being messed with would be bad for your telepathy and all." Ruth, of course, doesn't know the half of it, but from what she does know, she can see a point. She nodded in appreciation of both Ty's and Cait's reassurance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2010-05-04 08:11 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, uhm... me getting hit with emotion control could be very, very bad." He can definitely feel Cait's emotions, and just does his best to help her control them. "Anything else I can do for now? I can keep linked to you two, while you talk to the others and figure out your plan, anyway. I'll also try and study the Raiderettes some for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-05-04 08:16 am UTC (link)
	"We'll go talk to them," Cait said as she could feel herself calm down some. "And let you know what they want to do." She paused a moment. "There were different colors. I got hit with a red beam." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
