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.

	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)

	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)

	dc_parent 2010-09-10 02:40 am UTC (link)
	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)

	all_powerfull 2010-09-10 02:48 am UTC (link)
	"It is... though personally, I kind of prefer to avoid Batman." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Me? Oh goodness no. I've never been to school. I had a private education." It was true sort of. She had a tutor in Atlantis and then her mother. Grandfather encouraged reading and discussion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-09-10 03:27 am UTC (link)
	"Is he really that bad?" "So your parents homeschooled you, then?" Deb said, "That doesn't mean that you still can't go to college." She wasn't trying to force anything on Cait, though a higher level of education was never a bad thing to have. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2010-09-10 03:30 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, he's... bad." Ty agrees. "Not exactly her parents. And, well, she might be able to, but that'd probably cause more problems with her family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-09-10 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"He was really good about it," Cait explained. "He didn't seem that upset." "I had private tutors for awhile, then my mother and grandfather took over my education." Cait shrugged. "It's hard to say what the reactions would be. I'm sure Mother would encourage it. Father...yeah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't really get along with your parents, Cait?" Deb said, a slightly concerned look on her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Its complicated. Her mom is wonderful. Her dad... doesn't like me much, and... well, don't know how much Cait wants to go into it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Arthur can be difficult on the best of days," Cait said. "He wants to keep me safe and see me accept my responsibilities. Unfortunately I'm stubborn like him, so we kind of clash on things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-09-12 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Deb nodded. "You don't have to talk about it, if you don't want to. I don't want to pry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
