A Talk
Immediately following the meeting with the other avatars, Cerdian attempted to speak to Jai, but the younger man almost literally vanished into thin air. Upon recognizing where Jai was headed before the battle, Cerdian couldn't fault him. He envied Jai's finding of someone he loved and who loved him in return. Cerdian had never experienced that in his young life and knew now that he never would. It was sobering, but there was little time to dwell upon it.

He had others to speak with before too long.

Leaving the Justice League headquarters, Cerdian bent the space between worlds and found himself at the front door to the West household. Dispelling his staff and creating normal clothing, rather than his robes, he walked to the door and knocked.

Dolphin returned the hug, standing up on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. And check him over to make sure that he is in one piece.

No matter how much taller than her he gets, he will always be her baby.

"I'm well," she said, "And you, Cerdian? Are you all right? Have you been eating well?"

Yes, she worried. She was his mother, after all.

"I'm fine, Mother. I actually returned home to tell you that I'll be going away for a time and that I may not be able to contact you. Things on the surface have become...difficult. I need to lend my aid." he says.

Dolphin sighed. She'd never fully approved her husband and son always running off to the surface world, never knowing if she'd see them again, if they'd come back from whatever crisis they were helping out with.

But it was in their blood, and they did it to help those that they loved. While she worried about them, she knew that they did it for a reason, and not just to get a thrill.

"In my selfish heart, I'd wish that you'd stay home with me and your father. But I have never been able to stop you from following yours, have I?" He could be as stubborn as she could sometimes, and while she wished that she could just ground him and tell him to go to his room, she knew that he couldn't stop him. "Be safe, Cerdian." She hugged him. "Come back to me when you can."

"I will be safe, Mother." Cerdian says, hugging her close. It was better that Father was not here with her right now. The two of them would discover what he was about and then they would lock him in his room until he was seventy at the earliest.

Mother would guard the door.

"I have found many things on the surface that make me happy, Mother. Friends and people who respect me. I am no closer to giving you grandchildren, but...not all things are meant for all people." Cerdian says, feeling guilty for deceiving her.

"Maybe not now, at least." Dolphin said with a small smile. "Maybe in ten years or so, when you've found the right woman."

"I know how much the surface means to you and your father, Cerdian. I can't stop you from protecting what you hold dear."

"Thank you for understanding, Mother." Cerdian smiles. "Now what are you doing home all alone? Have you not greeted Queen Mera on her return yet?"

"I have," Dolphin said with a smile. "Your father is with her and Arthur right now. I wanted to check on my son."

"You're always watching out for me, Mother. I know I haven't always been as appreciative of that as I should be, but you should know that I have always loved and appreciated you and I always will." Cerdian says.

"You are the best mother anyone could ever ask for." he says.

"Thank you sweetheart," Dolphin said, kissing his cheek. "I know you think I smother you, but it means a lot to hear you say that."

"I know you mean well, Mother. I hope, someday, that I will be half as good of a parent to my own children as you and Father have been to me." Cerdian says.

Of course, he'd have to find someone to marry first. Oh, and he'd have to be alive. That was somewhat important.

"What are you doing this evening, Mother? I saw a few manta rays at the entrance when I arrived home. Do not worry, I scared them away. They ran back to the school of fish they brought with them and I told them that they were all not welcome here." Cerdian jokes.

Dolphin smiled. "I'm sure when the time comes, you'll be a great father to your children, Cerdian."

"I have no plans for the evening," Dolphin said, "Though I would like to maybe spend a little time with my son, if he can spare it."

She laughed. "My little Aqualad, always looking out for his mother. Though granted, you aren't so little anymore."

"Nor am I quite so outrageous anymore, either. I really can't believe I used that word so much." he chuckles.

"I can and I will spend time with you tonight, Mother. We can swim if you like or simply sit and talk, whatever you like." Cerdian smiles.

"We haven't had dinner in a long time, just the three of us." Dolphin said. "And I'm sure your father would like to see you before you go."

"Yes, that would be good. All three of us together, like old times." Cerdian says, hoping that his father won't decide to check into his story about the mission.

"I will set the table." Cerdian says, going quickly to do so before he lost his nerve.
