Dinner with Ty's Mom
Don't be nervous Cait told Ty (and herself) and reassuringly squeezed his hand as they entered the restaurant. Cait was a little nervous, but she had to push it back and be Ty's anchor. She reminded herself it wasn't as bad as court functions in Atlantis. Those were horrible and unbearable. She knew Ty's mom wasn't horrible and time with her wouldn't be unbearable.

It could always be worse, she told herself.

She put on a smile and walked in with Ty.

	"I suppose we do. Well, she works at the aquarium, and still finds time to help maintain the bay and take care of the dolphins. The area has been making a really good recovery... and the pink dolphin in the bay is definitely helping. Lots of people take the tours out to watch the dolphins from a distance."

	Cait blushed a little. "The Titans have been busy. We had that mess with Chthulu, the Raiderettes and recently the Kraken. There was also the Atlantis stuff." Cait would rather talk about the Titans than herself. Thankfully the subject of her family really hasn't come up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, all the Titans are ok. I've figured out how to do some healing, and I fixed San Francisco after the attack, better than new. There's always going to be problems, but so far, people seem to be doing ok." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's good." Deb smiled. "I'm glad you've found them, Ty. I'm glad you've found someone that really loves you, too." She smiled at Cait. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He pauses, about to offer to come home and visit, realizing that's still not a good idea. He sighs, then glances at Cait. "Well, you can always come visit. I'd be happy to teleport you coast to coast." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-09-09 02:59 am UTC (link)
	Cait looked over at Ty. She felt that and reached over to take his hand. "Perhaps with some time we can come visit you as well." She knew Ty could do it. Cait always had more faith in him than she did herself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll gladly visit," Deb said, "And of course, sometimes, you'll have to come and visit me. I'd love it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He blinks a couple times. That was unexpected. "Uhm, not sure if that's a good idea. Cait and I... have a telepathic link. As long as its up, it helps even out my powers some, but they're not really under any better control, exactly. But... I'd like to come back home, show Cait... just for a little bit."

"I /know/ you can handle a visit, Ty, and of course I would go with you. Visiting your mother and seeing your home is important."

Cait pushed the thoughts of Atlantis into the back of her mind. She didn't need to think of it now.

"It doesn't have to be right away. We can work up to it. You are getting better with your powers and when you feel like you're ready, we can pay your mom a visit there."

	He's still a bit surprised, but apparently this was good enough. For a visit, anyway. "Ok, we'll come by soon then. We can work things around your work schedule and all. Cait will definitely have to be along though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You're doing great, my love she sent him. It's progress and you should be proud. "As long as we don't have to fly, I'm fine going anywhere Ty wants to go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not that I like teleporting any better, but I threw up on Batman my first time in a plane. I guess I'm just too used to being in the water than the air." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Deb laughed. "I'm sorry, Cait." But the look on Batman's face was fun to imagine. "So tell me Cait, are you thinking of going to school at all?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is... though personally, I kind of prefer to avoid Batman." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
