Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure (Open to Teen Titans, Cerdian, AJ)
They had to spend a few days in Poseidonis before coming back to Titans' Tower due to Cait's wounds, but eventually she was well enough to make the trip. The physicians wanted her to wait longer, but Arthur needed to get back here and Cait didn't want to leave him around Ty for any longer than necessary. To be honest, she was surprised San Francisco was still standing after Arthur had already been there for a few days.

Once they reached Metropolis they called the Tower and Cait asked Ty to come and get them. Cait was in bad enough shape with two healing stab wounds, she didn't want to add any additional misery by flying.

Cait smiled after they appeared in the Tower. Teleporting wasn't her favorite method of travel, but it was still better than flying. The important thing was that she was home. Nothing felt better than coming home.

"Hello?" she called out.

	Cait's jaw DROPPED. She was completely and utterly speechless. She looked over at her mother. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mera returned the look. /Be strong, my dear,/ she thought, /it's never easy when a parent begins to lose their mind./ "Someone might check the news to see if Disneyland is still ... Disneyland?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hi Ruth! I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I found you a couple of Snow White film cels. They were kind of expensive, but Mr. Arthur said he was a king, and nothing was too good for the princess' friends! We had a GREAT time. And Mr. Arthur won me that unicorn... he's the BEST at the baloon pop. He tried REALLY hard to beat Iris at DDR too, but she's the BEST at that. He's a pretty good dancer though."

Iris nodded. "He was doing flips and everything! Though we were kinda surprised when he asked us if we wanted to go...he overheard us talking and said that he'd NEVER been before, and would just LOVE if we went with him! It was awesome! We went on all the rides, went to all the shows, and got our pictures taken with Disney characters!" Iris pulled out her digital camera. "His favorite was King Triton!"

	"... Schway." Is the only thing Eli can think of to say. His brain will kindly wander off into 'maybe I really am high and no one told me' territory. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was OUTRAGEOUS!" Arthur said with a deep laugh. He put the items in his hands down and pulled a shirt out of one of the bag. He walked over to Ty and put an arm around his shoulders. "Ty! I got a shirt for you! I hope you like it. I took a guess at the size, but if it doesn't fit I'll go and get you another one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty closes his eyes. He's sure this is all some hallucination, and here comes another 500 gallons of boiling water. And instead its...a Muppets t-shirt? "Th... thank you.... sir?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cerdian hears the word "Outrageous" and his violet eyes go wide in shock. He blinks once, then twice, then three times.

"This isn't happening." he murmurs.

Cerdian holds out his hand in Arthur's direction, a gentle glow emanating from his fingers as he murmurs. Okay, that didn't work so he it again. Then again. And still /again/. When he gains the same results each time, Cerdian sits in a chair staring at Arthur in utter silence.

"No. He's...not been replaced by a doppleganger or anyone from another dimension. This is really the king.

Why would he say that word?" Cerdian asks rhetorically, still staring at Arthur as if he's grown two extra heads in the last minute or so.

"Poseidon's beard. Next my mother will be telling me I can marry any woman I want and that she's completely /fine/ with it." Cerdian says.

	Cait's mouth hanged open. She just STARED. Her brain had stopped working and speech was not possible. She had to still be in Poseidonis and her cousin must have her in some sort of hallucination. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, they're lovely! Thank you so much, Pippi, Sir," she nods to them both. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Pippi grins. "You should have seen him, Cait. But we talked about it when we got ice cream, and you can come with us next time! Oh... and if you want to come to Miley Cyrus with us this Saturday, we might be able to get one more ticket. It was really tough, but Mr. Arthur is really well connected. Apparently he's never been to a concert before!"

She turns around and hugs Arthur, then reaches for her unicorn. "I should go introduce Mr. Fluffy to Mr. Whiskers and Mr. Wrinkles. I'll let you and Iris give everyone their presents... first impressions are really important."

	Arthur returned the hug. "Yes, it's important that you introduce Mr. Whiskers and Mr. Wrinkles to Mr. Fluffy." Arthur had heard all about Mr. Whiskers and Mr. Wrinkles on the trip. "Iris, hand out the rest of the presents! What are you waiting for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris nodded. "Of course!" She began pulling out the gifts that they'd brought for everyone out of the bags. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mera blinked at Arthur hugging the girl. Arther didn't hug. Not young girls. Not older girls either. She was very much afraid he was losing his mind. At least now Cait could rest easy that her father would not be at odds with her boyfriend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pippi grabs her unicorn and bounds off, singing 'Its a small world' as she goes, super-jumping up the stairs to go make introductions between her stuffed friends. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Arthur went still for a moment. His brow furled in thought and he looked around. Then he scowled when he saw Cait. He still didn't notice the shirt he wore or notice the Mickey Mouse ears. "What's the status of Atlantis? Did you do your duty to your kingdom and people?" he asked Cait. Yes, cranky Arthur was back in full force. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli taps Dinah on the shoulder and whispers quietly. "I don't think that's a good idea any more." He caught the sudden mood-swing and has the feeling that Arthur is going to be demanding that beatleberry very soon and that Dinah isn't going to be getting it back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruth may not know Mr. Curry at all, but she can read the change in expression, tone, and topic. "Oh, goodness..." she whispers, looking in the direction Pippi had headed off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	violettidemage 2010-10-03 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Cerdian also puts two and two together, watching Pippi go. He sees Arthur's expression and breathes a small sigh of relief, even though he knows this is about to go poorly. He doesn't even need his premonitions know that. "Iris, please come and stand next to me." Cerdian requests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cait's brain started working again. THIS she could deal with. This was the Arthur she knew.

She straightened up and bowed slightly. She would have bowed deeper, but pain shot through her abdomen as she did and she winced against the pain. "Your Majesty, the throne of Atlantis is yours. The usurper has been taken care of." She left out the fact that she was responsible for Ataam's death.
