To Rescue the King of the Seas
Cerdian had given Cait the kick in the ass she needed to get things moving to rescue her father. No one else was going to rescue Arthur. The Atlantis stuff...well that was something she would deal with later. Getting Arthur back on the throne was the most important thing at the moment. Her issues with him could be worked on later. Maybe. It depended on Arthur.

She slipped into her uniform and called AJ, Cerdian and the Titans. They didn't have to go, but she would ask for their help.

	"This is what Arthur wants," Cait said. "He won't wait a few days to heal, so I have to do it now. I'll figure something out on the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Can we figure out something that involves, say, the people who came to help you? Like Ty, Dinah, AJ and everyone else? If you get injured or killed, Arthur's next, you know." Cerdian says. "And if you go and get killed, I'm going to be right besides you." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait shook her head. "I won't ask them to get any more involved with Atlantis stuff. I can't ask them to risk their lives for Atlantis." "It was made /quite/ clear that this is my responsibility as a princess and sovereign. I won't ask you to help. I can't ask that of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Why do you always do that? You would risk your life for anyone on that ship and it would 'the right thing to do'. Most importantly, it would be /your/ choice, which is what you always say you want. You want your choices to be yours and no one else's." Cerdian says.

"Yet," he continues, "the moment anyone else chooses to help /you/, you take those choices away because you 'can't ask' someone to do for you what you would do without question. Caitria, none of those people would /be/ here if they didn't want to risk themselves to help you. You rushing off alone disrespects their friendship and their caring for you for the sake of saying you finally did your duty to Atlantis. You treat Atlantis and the Titans as thought it /must/ be one or the other. Why can it not be both?" he asks plainly.

"As for me...I am a son of Atlantis and I will defend her with or without your leave, Princess Caitria." he says bowing to her.

"You are my sovereign, however, so you have the first right of refusal as to how my life will be spent in it her defense...and yours."

"Because Atlantis is poison and insanity," she said. "I don't want the team getting mixed up in all of that. Atlantis brings nothing but grief to people. You know that as well as I do. That's why I try to keep the Titans away from anything to deal with Atlantis."

Cait stopped swimming and hugged him.

"I love you, Sharkbait." She kissed his cheek. "I will not command you or ask you to help me, but if you want to I am not going to stop you."

"You do not have to ask or command because it is my duty to help you. I wish you would consider asking the rest of the Titans to join us, though. Ty will be saddened if you're hurt or injured when he wasn't there. I also wish you thought better of your people." Cerdian says.

"That said, if you choose to go now, I go alongside you." he says, his violet eyes aglow with power.

"Ty can't handle this right now," Cait said. "He'd be endangering everyone if he went along."

"I don't think bad of the people of Atlantis, it's the politics. Arthur will kill me, but when we get back you should read the Chronicles."

Cait looked away. "I have to go. I don't have a choice." She looked back at him and kissed his cheek. "I have an idea. It may be crazy enough to work."

"I love you, too, Caitria." Cerdian says. "I will read the Chronicles when we get back, but I don't believe my opinion will change.

Then Cait says the most dreaded words in the language of Princess Little Fish.

"You know, the last time you said 'it may be crazy enough to work', we both ended up grounded for three months...and the sharks still hate me." Cerdian says.

	"They don't hate you, they just want to eat you," Cait said with a small smile. "Let's get going. We have a long way to swim and my cousin to face." At the thought of family, Cait realized that she hadn't had the chance to tell Arthur about Koryak. She'd make sure she did that when she got back. If she got back. (Reply to this)(Parent)
