Washed Ashore (open to YJLA)
Koryak swam as fast as he could, which at this point wasn't very fast. He was covered in wounds from his escape from Poseidonis and blood was flowing freely. There had been shark attacks as he swam from Poseidonis. They had been drawn by the scent of blood in the water and they added more wounds to his body.

Koryak was weakening quickly, but he had to press on. He had to reach the Justice League. He had to reach Cait. She had to know what was going on in Atlantis.

Driven by purpose and running on sheer willpower, Koryak reached the surface. He crawled up on the beach and fell. Sand was rough against his skin and he lifted his head and looked at the buildings. Almost there, but he would not make it. Blackness closed in and his head fell. A prince of Atlantis lay on the beach bleeding.

Later the YJLA would get a call from local law enforcement.

Cindy was over visiting Traya. No one was near the phone. She answered it pleasantly.

"This is Sergeant Murphy from the Atlantic City police department. We found a guy in pretty rough shape washed up ashore and think he may be an Atlantean. He asked for Aquaman."

Cindy blinked. She hoped AJ was home. "We'll have some people over right away to see him, Sergeant." She gets any address information and takes it down. "Did he say anything else specific? Is he in stable condition?"

"He didn't say anything else, ma'am. He was in bad shape and bleeding out. We had him taken to the hospital and they're trying to patch him up. It don't look good."

AJ soon shows up, running his hands through his long, dripping wet hair. "Yeah Cindy? What's up?" He asks.

"There's an apparently Atlantean guy in pretty-much-critical at the hospital. He asked for Aquaman, but it sounds like he can't be sure of much time."

Cait was stretched out on her bed reading a book when her cell rang. She looked at the number and arched a brow. It was AJ. She hadn't heard from AJ in some time.

"Hello," she said answering it.

"Hey Cait, it's AJ. I kind of need your help." AJ says. "There's an Atlantean here in the hospital who washed up on shore. He's pretty torn up and the doctor's say he's in critical condition. But he asked for Aquaman, and I was wondering if maybe you could help us identify him." AJ turns to the doctor. "Yeah, submersing would probably be better, but don't do it until you can move him."

Weird. Why would an Atlantean come to the surface looking for her father? He was supposed to be in Poseidonis. Right?

"Is he awake? Has he said anything? Is he going to live?" Cait asked as she jumped off the bed and pulled on a pair of shoes. She could use the Titans' teleporters. They were much better than flying.

"I'm going to teleport in."

"No, he's been asleep since we got here, and we don't know if he's going to make it or not." AJ answers. "There's something familiar about him too, but I can't remember."

"A few minutes," Cait said and ran toward the Titans' teleporters. Panic threatened to grab her, but she tried to keep it down.

She set the coordinates and stepped into the teleporter.

A moment later she was in the hospital and spotted AJ and Cindy Lord. "Where is he?"

AJ can feel how worried Cait is. "Are you okay? You seem nervous."

Cait slipped inside the room and made a mental note to do something nice for AJ and Cindy for causing a distraction. Her heart sank when she saw her brother. At least the hospital staff had the sense to keep water on him in the form of mist.

Cait went over to the side of the bed and took his hand with hers. "Koryak," she said quietly. "I'm here." His eyes remained closed. Cait closed hers and reached out to form a mental link with him.

He was still unconscious and Cait couldn't pick up any thoughts from him. She probed his mind until she found his most recent memories. Her stomach twisted up when she saw him fleeing from Poseidonis, injured and bleeding. She saw the shark attacks and the desperate swim to shore.

Cait probed deeper and saw the forces marching through the city. She saw the priests surrounding a man she didn't know as he was sitting on her father's throne. Where was Father? Where was Mother?

Cait kept going deeper. She saw Mera escorted out of the throne room in shackles. She saw Koryak trying to stop them and being attacked by guards. This wasn't right. This couldn't be happening.

The loud beeping of the monitors hooked up to her brother broke her concentration and Cait broke the link. Nurses and doctors rushed into the room and one quickly ushered Cait out.

She just stood at the window and stared.

As she lead the staff in verbal circles, Cindy worried.

"So, what did you find out?" AJ asks. "It must be pretty bad."

Cait barely heard AJ as she was focused on watching the doctors and nurses working on her brother. "Atlantis is lost," she said quietly. Cait could hear the beeping of the machines turn to a long steady beep through the glass with her enhanced Atlantean hearing.

"Oh gods!" she said and put a hand over her mouth.

The activity inside the room was frantic for a few more moments and then it stopped.

"NOOO!" Cait cried and tears started to fall from her eyes. "Koryak!"

Cindy doesn't say anything. There's nothing she could say right now. Instead, she slips off to call the Titans.

AJ's at a loss for words. He never thought this would happen, he had truly believed Koryak would be alright. But he could feel as Koryak slipped away. He'd never seen Cait this way before. All he can do is hang his head and say "I'm sorry Cait."

Eli is hovering by Iris. Not on his wings, but just hanging over her and being annoying, in a friendly way.

"Hi, Iris, it's Cindy. I'm at the hospital --" she gave the address "-- with Cait, and I think shecould really use some emotional support right now. Her brother just died."
