Every act in service to the Cause is important. Sometimes that means striking against costumed oppressors, sometimes it means reminding the populace of who their true saviors are, sometimes it means taking action to reduce the numbers of the filthy lesser races that threaten to consume the world's population...

And some days it just means working to add to the Reich's coffers. Which is why White Dragon has forced his way inside a bank vault and is pillaging it dry. A foldspace container one of the Reich's scientists had concocted allowed him to diligently carry far more back to his masters than he could with his own two arms. The bank's occupants had been cowed into submission and he'd barricaded the doors before closing the vault behind him. True, he could have broken in through the wall, as he was planning to leave, but a spectacle had to be made. Let the police and any local 'heroes' come! He would face them all and emerge victorious!

The hero population in Cape Cod might be a bit lower than certain other metropolitan areas, but that was besides the point...

Finished with his looting, he demolishes a wall, bursting out into an alley.

Steven has been counting the days. The paperwork is filed, listing himself as the primary owner of Speedforce Productions, Ltd., with Annie, Jai, Iris, Tess and Cindy as partners. They have the space rented for each of the shoots - this one on a private beach. Everyone among the superheroine crowd that was willing to sign an NDA was invited with an RSVP request so they knew how many swimsuits to design.

Pippi has her own space to handle hair, wardrobe and makeup for the models, with Harry along to help coordinate getting everyone in to see her as adjustments were needed. Jai has the task of helping with setup, extra cameras, following Jo Kent around to shoot interviews while Steven handles the main coordination, and whatever else needs gophering. Jo is their reporter, there to conduct interviews with the models about their neighborhoods, causes important to them, and whatever else they want to discuss to help introduce themselves to the greater universe who often doesn't get to interact with super heroes.

Aside from the main area of beach, there,s a large bin full of beach balls. Tons and tons of beach balls, all of them two or three-colored in the colors of the various super heroines who confirmed they'd be here.

"Alright, when people are ready... I know we had one organizational meeting. But I thought I'd use this opportunity to thank everyone for coming. We're going to do the biggest and most complicated shoot first, and start working out details of the others. We have tentative volunteers, but some of the schedules are still open, and we're very open to shooting in pairs.

Other than the shoot here, consider this a day on the beach, courtesy of Speedforce Productions. After the shoot, we'll bring down food and drinks... there's plenty of water over by Pippi's station in the meanwhile."

Cait decided to spend a day or two at the cottage before heading back to San Francisco. She needed a day or two to decompress after spending the past week in Atlantis. Dealing with Arthur was always stressful, this time being no different. Amnesty Bay was the perfect place to decompress and get some peace and quiet.

She walked out of the ocean and pulled the water out of her clothes and hair. She headed for the small cottage at the base of the lighthouse. She opened the door, stepped inside and never saw the blow. Pain spiked at the back of her neck and the world went dark.

"Bring her," a male voice said and a figure stepped out of the shadows. The man next to him picked up Cait's inert body and threw it over a shoulder. The two men left the small cottage.

Not long after breaking the connection from Riley and Max, Dinah has set a land-speed record for getting ready for a date. A short time later, she was waiting outside the restaurant for Riley.

She checked her watch.

For the third time.

"You'd think time travelers would know not to be late..." she muttered.

She really hoped Riley hadn't done anything crazy with Max.

...Okay, he probably hadn't.

Probably.

The security guard led the Titans into what looked like a conference room. When inside, he removed a cigarette and lit it up.

"First off, thanks for coming. Second, you're not going to like how little I can actually tell you. Before you fly off the handle it's because I literally don't know, not because of confidentiality crap."

With his recent conversation with Cindy Lord a few days past, the NDA's drawn up, and enough funding and paperwork together to begin the hiring process, Steven started making calls. He reserved the back room of a pizza place so they would have ample room for everyone, and privacy for the discussion. No one beyond Tess and Cindy have been told precisely what its for, just that its not an emergency of any sort, that they'll be receiving a business offer, and regardless how it goes, the food is on Steven... technically Cindy put up the money, but he's the host.

He's made, and called quite the list, along with making arrangements for transportation to New York for the non-residents. Thankfully, between the speedforce, JLA transporters, and people's powers, that's not hard to do. Each of the girls is handed an NDA as soon as they walk through the door. They're welcome to take or reject the proposal, of course - but the discussion itself has to stay under reasonable wraps. The entire menu - pizza, pasta, salads, sodas and breadsticks are made readily available to everyone for their attendance.

Steven himself has already gone through a couple of pizzas while waiting, and now has gone back to kind of pacing, waiting to greet the guests. His materials are all ready for presentation, once people arrive and sign the NDAs.

The guest list covers some of the most impressive women on the planet... together for... a pizza party.

Tess Holt, Cat Grant, Corrinna of Themysciria, Caitria Curry, Petra Gardener, Avia Free, Maria Grayson, Jess Byrd, Iris West,  Ash Curry, Barbie Queen and Alina Vasquez.

Drink to me, only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine ;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I'll not look for wine.
The thirst, that from the soul doth rise,
Doth ask a drink divine :
But might I of Jove's nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much honoring thee,
As giving it a hope, that there
It could not wither'd be.
But thou thereon didst only breathe,
And sent'st it back to me :
Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,
Not of itself, but thee. Ben Johnson

Heather still couldn't believe the article in the Tribune's Arts and Entertainment section. "Local artist Heather Collins... first gallery... works entirely in crystal... metahuman art scene... gallery opens tonight... guest list is expected to include Cynthia Lord, daughter of... famous escape artist and charity advocate Avia Free... local celebrity actor..."

She took a couple of deep breaths, despite the fact that the action did precious little other than to circulate some air through her crystaline body. She was definitely going to have to call her parents after this. Opal wasn't exactly in the same broadcast range as Chicago, but... well, it was a city with a pretty strong interest in the arts. Something like this might make it into the news cycle.

She couldn't blame Cindy for setting this up. The thought of people coming to see something she'd created had already done wonders for her self confidence. And Cindy, being the person that she was with the connections that she had, had been more than good at getting some publicity, and had been good for inviting those nice Justice League people, even if they were coming in their secret identities.

Another deep breath, and Heather left the back room, heading back out into the gallery itself. There were seven large statues in the show, representing the Entities. There were smaller statues too, of varying sizes, mostly of fantasy figures, though one marked "Raging Goddess" was a special commission that was already carrying a "sold" tag. Not her first paid project, but certainly the one she'd been paid the most for. Quite the satisfied customer there.

"Alright," she said, checking her watch. "Twenty minutes to open."

Ash had finished her studies for the day and had been working on fixing herself a meal. She was also adding things to the shopping list she saw they were running low on. With that done she turned back to cooking food. It was going to be tasty once it was done.

Still looked like she needed more than mushrooms, onions, and squash. "Maybe I need carrots."

Or she could just give up and eat what she has now. It's not that big of a deal.

Warrior's Bar and Grill was officially closed for the evening, and with good reason.  Avia and Petra had taken it over for the annual "Rate the Hunks" party, though that was in truth, only a small part of the evening.  The various women of the teams getting to socialize and have fun and get to know each other was far more important that drooling over the sweet, sweet eyecandy that was...

Wait.  What was she thinking about?

But invitations had gone out to all the super-women in Avia's Rolodex, including the JSA, the YJLA, the Titans, and the New Guardians, and anyone else anyone else knew.  There was food, alcohol for those old enough,  background music.

"Looks like we're all set, Petra, m'groovy gal pal."

Now, folks just had to show.

dc_holiday:

All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween as it has been come to be called, is a popular holiday with children and adults alike. It is a holiday that had its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain or Summer's End. Samhain celebrated the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half".

On this evening the barriers between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be thin and the spirits, good and bad, of the dead could pass through. The spirits of the family's ancestors were welcomed in while evil and bad spirits were warded off by the wearing of masks and costumes. The costumes and masks disguised one as a harmful spirit and avoided harm from others.

It was also a harvest celebration and time to take stock of food stores for the winter. Livestock were slaughtered and the meat prepared for storage. It was the final harvest of the year and the crops were then stored for the winter. Celebrations included bonfires and tales of the family's ancestors.

It was a celebration of the dead and of the harvest.

Today we dress up in scary and not so scary costumes and masks and go door to door for candy or attend costume parties. It is a night for revelry, pranks and fun.

Well, this was it. It's weird that not two weeks ago he would have thought he would be on a date with Asherah Curry, princess of Atlantis. Sure, she was cute, but he never took notice of her in that way. Maybe it was the blond hair that he had come to associate with a terrible romance. Maybe it was the way she kept to herself, her shyness having him overlook her as a possible romantic interest. Maybe he just hadn't considered that she would be interested in him. His luck with women was shitty and his ability to tell of romantic interest was even worse that his luck.

And yet here he was. He had stewed over it a lot. He had even scored the lowest he has ever had on a test because of it (B+). And now it was time whether it was just him feeling bad for ignoring her or if there was really something there that was attracted to her.

seasiren:

Ash had been thinking this over since her talk with Michael. She didn't know what to do really. She knew what her feelings were and knew that now Michael was going to notice exactly how she felt about him.

She was worried it would ruin the friendship she also valued. She had done some digging (being a Princess has it's perks) and discovered a way to try and ease her own state of mind.

Cindy Lord. A friend of Micheal's. She knew this could get messy but decided that she would go with this plan.

And so she sent a message requesting a meeting with Cindy and making sure it was made clear she wished to discuss Michael. She would allow Cindy to set the time and place as Cindy would be doing her a favor.

masterofmatter:

Michael had been happy to help out with a friend, be it a helping hand, an ear to listen, or sometimes just some fun. Ash was one of those gals who really needed more fun in her life, and if she wanted Michael around (for whatever reason that may be), then so be it. He may be an ass, but if his friends want him somewhere he'd be there for them unless there were sever extenuating circumstances.

So he waited for her to show up at the restaurant. He knew she was a vegetarian, so he made sure to find a place with a decent amount of vegetarian fare, a little mexican restaurant on the edge of Museum Row near the park.

seasiren:

All Ash knew was this is something she had never done before. She had never seen a show of any kind that hadn't been televised on the surface world. So the idea of going to one of Zach's shows was something that appealed to her after she had given it some thought.

She didn't want to go by herself either. So after working herself up into a near panic she had asked Michael to go with her. She had been quite pleased when he had agreed to go with her. She had been afraid that she would end up going alone. They found themselves seated towards the front of the place and she gave a sheepish smile.

".... We fought monsters in Ciaro. Then we talked. I-I guess he thought m-m-.... mages should stick together," Ash said as she settled into her chair and watched the stage. "But it was nice of him. I've never actually gone to anything."

It had been the longest day in Cait's life. They had all been up at the crack of dawn today. Today was the day they were going to return Poseidonis to the ocean floor. They all had been up late at night making sure the last minute details were covered.

The city had been evacuated. The citizens had been taken to Cerdia and Tritonis during the week. It wasn't easy emptying a city. Ty and Cait arrived on Thursday and had helped with last minute repairs. It was easier to repair the city while it was on the surface and some structures also needed additional support for the trip down.

Arthur had even called in the JLA to help. She knew Ty could do it, she didn't have a doubt, but it was always wise to have contingency plans and she had agreed with Arthur on this decision. Thankfully the council had been sent to Tritonis and Arthur and Cait didn't have to deal with them during this.

When it was noon it was time to sink Poseidonis.

The Royal Family and Ty were in the water a little away from the city. Cait put all of her focus on the link she shared with Ty and her faith in him. The waters grew choppy and Poseidonis slowly started to sink. It took about two hours from start to finish before Poseidonis was once again on the ocean floor.

The job wasn't over though. They had to go through the city to see if anything had been damaged in the move. Compared to surface cities Poseidonis was small, but it still took them hours to go through it making sure everything was safe.

When they were done and had determined everything was structurally sound Cait and Ty went to Cerdia to inform the Atlanteans could return home. Garth went to Tritonis.

It would take awhile to get everyone back home, but Cait had made sure the first wave returned home safely. Tomorrow there would be more escorting the citizens home.

Cait was overtired but she couldn't sleep. She moved slowly through the gardens. The plants had all died during their stay on the surface and surface and they had been replaced by plants that could survive on the surface. Now they were all dying. They would have to be removed and new plant life would have to be planted. Such was the way of life in ever turbulent Poseidonis.

masterofmatter:

Michael had hoped to visit Titans East tower sooner than this, but with an uptick in school work (Summer intersession: The same amount of work in a semester in about a six week period) he hadn't been able to really come by the tower to drop off his gift to the princess.

It was something small, a small pendant with a T symbol to represent the Titans and colored Patina to give it a nice blue color. He had it wrapped up and ready to go. So once his final class of the day was over he made sure to get everything packed up and head to New York, where the Titans East were.

It is late at night. Like any modern day city time does not stop in Cairo just because the sun has gone down. The moon is out and the streets are still busy. But as it is quickly approaching two in the morning things die down.

A spell is cast by an unknown person and across the world it wakes two others up. Somehow across an ocean they feel it. One of them feels an urgency in her blood to go to where the magic is. She dresses quickly in the dark and starts to cast a spell.

She doesn't think to bring back up. The magic tells her she has to act quickly. And so she goes and finds herself an ocean away from her friends in front of the Egyptian Antiquities museum. She can feel the pulse of dark magic and shivers in the warm night air.

This is dangerous. But she casts another spell to fool the security system and goes inside. Magic is buzzing in her mind and she continues to search for where this dark tainted pulse is coming from.

She is going to stop it.

Asherah felt bad about the water to the face thing. Really bad because that wasn't how a princess of Atlantis should conduct herself. Nor is it how an ally of Atlantis should be treated. So she decided that a formal apology should be made. She had some guards do the leg work for her as she prepared a nice apology gift.

Then had the guards wait for him outside of his last class for the day. They were to politely escort him to where she was very nervously waiting. Right now all she wanted to do was hide behind her hair. Say she was very sorry for embarrassing him and throwing water at him then leave quickly.

This should be easy.

Koryak stood near the new shoreline of Atlantis and looked out across the water. He was tired, they all were, but the rebuilding of Atlantis was coming along at a pace no one had expected. The Atlanteans were a resourceful people and rebuilding their homes and city wasn't just rebuilding the physical, it was rebuilding their sense of identity.

Koryak had watched his father and Queen Mera work as hard as every other citizen when it came to doing things, if not harder. Koryak was right there beside them working to do as much as he could. There were a few missing faces, most notably Cait and Cerdian's. Koryak didn't blame them. He thought it was unfair that Arthur was trying to force them to marry. He was proud his sister stood up to their father and she left to do her own thing.

Koryak turned back toward the city.

The water behind him erupted into spray and figures emerged and came up on the island.

Koryak turned to face the invaders. "Raise the alarm!" he yelled before he was attacked.

She never really thought about how much she had always needed an older sister. She had always loved her older brother. She had enjoyed having him around. Now in this other universe she had come to realize how much she missed out on by not having a sister.

She made a vow that once she was a grown up and once she was ready for a family to have more than one child. It only made sense anyways for a purely logical standpoint and she did kind of like children anyways.

Now though she had to find Cait. Talk to her. So she asked around, fish could sometimes be helpful. This one seal though kept driving her nuts though because it sounded so much like a pirate from a bad surface dweller movie.

Of course this had her stop and face-palm. Of course she knew how to find Cait. She's a mage for crying out loud. But there was also a much easier route. Mera would know something. So after going to Mera and asking she had an idea of where to go.

So after feeling very silly she went to where Cait would be. She found the little town so strange. But she liked it. And she hoped Cait wouldn't mind her showing up unannounced. She just wanted to talk and she hoped that she could talk to Cait without getting nervous. Stammering when she wanted to bond would not be cool.

seasiren:

Ash had worked on being calm. Garth had helped her learn to do that. She had learned more about doing that on her own and so she read the report while the three court mages who had been assigned this task watched her expression. There had been so many reasons for celebration. People were alive. Atlantis was saved.

But this didn't bring joy to Asherah Curry's heart. "Then you are certain of this," she asked looking up.

Refurbishment on the Tower in New York harbor had started almost immediately after they'd decided to put together a second Titans team.  Between Dinah and Lily, more than enough favors existed for the work to be done in almost no time at all, though Dinah would still need to spend a lot of time updating the security and other computer systems.  On top of the logistics of running the team itself.  Was this how Cait or Iris has felt?  Having the burden of leadership put upon  her like this?  But no one else wanted the job, and well, someone had to do it, so someone had to step up.  It might as well be her.

"Okay," she said, once she had the ones who were coming in the Tower's meeting room.  "So this is our HQ.  We can work on picking out rooms after this meeting.  You're all welcome to live here, of course, though you're not required to.  Teleporter is down the hall, do not use it for pizza deliveries.  Emergency codes one, two, and three are the west coast tower, the YJLA HQ, and the JSA brownstone, respectively.  Emergency code four will dump the platform's contents into the still zone.  It's our all purpose "try and get rid of something" plan.

"If you're going to be bringing people back here, please let the rest of us know.  And try not to bring anyone back for a booty call.  If you do plan on having sex in the Tower, do in in your own rooms and not in any of the public areas.  Also please remember that Riley and I still have secret identities, and we'd like to keep it that way.

"I'm keeping the Bug stored here in the hangar, though we also have a T-Jet, which you may be more comfortable with.  We'll be getting you all up to speed flying it as soon as possible.  We've also got a couple of short range single-person vehicles, and what amounts to a "Titans Van" if we ever really need it.

"Your communicators are now set to operate on our own frequency, though they can be set to pick up other team bands, depending on need.

"Any questions so far?"

Arthur walked through the ruins of Poseidonis. The jewel of Atlantis lay mostly in ruins and was now floating on the surface of the ocean. Her sister city of Tritonis was in ruins on the ocean floor. Arthur's kingdom was in ruins, but the people were alive. They would rebuild and Atlantis would flourish again. Arthur would spend the rest of his life making sure of that.

He looked around at the ruins of the city and the people moving about. Arthur already had the council on his back for a meeting, but he told them it could wait. He had to make sure his people were provided for first. A good majority of the newly resurrected citizens had been evacuated to Cerdia, but even Cerdia couldn't hold all of the citizens of Poseidonis. Personnel essential to rebuilding were here now and ready to get started.

Arthur looked over at Mera and smiled. No matter what happened they'd get through it together. His gaze wandered and fell on Ash. Arthur had heard she had assumed the throne and with Garth's help led the surviving people of Atlantis to safety in a remote area away from the two ruined cities. When word that the dead had been restored to life, Garth and Ash led the people back to Poseidonis and they had just arrived.

Mera. Garth. Dolphin. Cerdian. Ash. Just one person was missing from his family. Cait. Thoughts of his daughter added some weight to his shoulders. He had to find her and see if she had been brought back. He couldn't imagine having to go through the rest of his life without her in it.

"We interrupt this regularly scheduled program to bring you this breaking news story.

Seismologists have monitored underwater seismic activity this morning in the North Atlantic moments before the domed city of Poseidonis broke the surface of the water. The Air Force sent out planes to do reconnaissance and reported back that the city seems deserted and mostly destroyed. The reports say that half the city is now rubble and no information on what could have caused such devastation.

The Atlantean Ambassador, Norstrud, was unavailable for comment. The US Ambassador to Atlants, Jonathan Welling, did not have much to say, but did mention that the Atlanteans would only surface the city under dire circumstances. Welling also mentioned that efforts to contact the Atlanteans are being made but have proved to be unsuccessful so far.

King Orin, known on the surface as Aquaman, has not been seen and his whereabouts are unknown.

The US military all along the Eastern seaboard are on high alert if this is a precursor to an Atlantean invasion.

We will bring you more updates on this story as it unfolds."

"Hey Adam...wanna go out on a patrol together? It'll be fun."

Boy, was Lily really starting to regret those words right now.

A little nightly patrol on New York City, looking to maybe stop some muggers had take a drastic turn when Lily and Adam happened upon a little villain group called the Pack pulling a heist on a local LuthorCorp Facility.

A few muggers they could have handled? A group of villains with high-tech armor? They were in a little bit over their heads.

Troia went slamming into a wall of crates, and they fell down around her. She climbed out of them, throwing on of them at Coyote, who had sent her into that wall of crates.

Arthur sat quietly and listened to the council debating...something. He honestly hadn't been paying attention to what was being said. It was a meeting of the Royal Council and he always had problems paying attention to the prattling on of the council members, but now it was worse. His heart and his head wasn't in anything right now.

He brought his focus back long enough to hear General Nakesh finish the report about the state of Atlantean military forces and their readiness. Something was building on the surface and Arthur didn't think it would stay confined to the surface.

Arthur nodded his thanks to Nakesh and looked to Ozell. Ozell was the current chairman of the council and ran the meetings. Hopefully this meeting was over.

Any number of things had been going down recently, but the rash of various thefts from Queen, Wayne, Luthor, and Kord Industries' west coast branches (the last one made it personal), also had to be dealt with.  Dinah had done some investigating on her own, the clues being relatively simple things, since the robberies themselves had largely been smash and grabs and the like.

What had been surprising were the culprits involved: the Pack.  The mercenary team was relatively well known within certain circles, operating out of Zandia with impunity from the laws.  This seemed a bit below their usual standard, but it probably meant someone even higher up on the food chain was working an angle.

And the next theft, based on what she had pieced together about just what had been stolen, was going to be in Gotham, at one of the Wayne Industries warehouses.  Even with the Scarab, she knew she couldn't take them all on on her own.  She needed the Titans.  But with the team decimated of late and time being of the essence, she'd only been able to get Pippi, Mitzi, and Ash to come with her.

Fortunately, they'd been able to pick Riley up along the way.

She brought the Bug into hover mode, closing the faceplate on her armor.  "Okay, I briefed you all on these guys on the way over.  They're very nasty and they won't hesitate to kill you if you get the chance.  No fancy heroics.  We play this like a team."

Mickey had roped off the living room in the JSA Brownstone for the afternoon. She had spent the entire morning getting the food ready and setting up. She had sent out invites to the JLA, Titans (both East and West Coast), Shadowpact, Outsiders, Birds of Prey, and of course, the JSA girls. She had also invited Cindy in case she wanted to come, and Angie, as she was basically a JSA brat herself. Mikey had built her a projection bot, and security bot that would alert her if any of the boys thought to try and see what the girls were up to.

Mickey finished setting up the projector. She had pictures of all the guys from the various teams that she had managed to get to her hands on. She made sure that there would be enough food and drinks for everyone, and waited for people to start arriving.

It wasn't exactly the sort of thing Dolphin enjoyed doing, or ever wanted to do, but someone had to gather up Caitria's belongings and give them to Arthur. The Titans wouldn't keep her things forever and Dolphin didn't want to see them get thrown out. They were what was left of Princess Little Fish as Cerdian liked to call Cait.

Arthur was in no shape to do it. To say that Dolphin was worried about her long time friend, her king and the man who was once a lover, was an understatement. Arthur had lost his son, his wife and his daughter and looked like a man about to fall into the abyss. Dolphin knew that if given the chance Arthur would follow them into the grave.

Dolphin placed the last of the books in one of the three boxes. Cait hadn't been one to have many possessions and all of hers from her time on the surface had fit into three boxes. Her clothes had been bagged up and donated to Goodwill. The books and other small items would be stored until Arthur decided what to do with them. If he ever did.

Dolphin wasn't surprised to find that most of Cait's possessions were books. She was more like Arthur than the two of them cared to admit. Both loved to read and learn, which is why Dolphin understood Cait's desire to be on the surface. There was so much more to see, do and learn than in Atlantis. Arthur never understood and it caused so many problems between father and daughter.

Dolphin looked around. The room was bare and all clothes and possessions had been bagged and boxed up. Except for the one item Dolphin didn't know what to do with.

It was a statue of a dolphin playing on the waves. Dolphin had initially thought it had been made out of crystal, but when she took a closer look at it she discovered it had been made out of ice. Somehow it was not melting. The craftsmanship was exquisite and the details were amazing. It was so life like that she almost expected the thing to start moving. It was a very Cait item and Dolphin guessed it had been a gift.

Maybe one of the Titans had given it to her and would like it back to remember Cait by. Dolphin went to see who was around.

Vic was standing on top of Titan’s tower standing at the edge of the roof doing Tai Chi. He had been up there since sunrise like he was every morning. He felt it was a great way to get ready for the new day and he had been doing this since a far back as he could remember.

 He went through the motions of his current sequence of Tai Chi with such slowness that at times it was hard to tell he was moving.

With all that had happened it was nice to get back into some semblance of routine though nothing could ever be truly the same again. Not that any day was every possibly the same.

The room lined with statues of Titans that given their lives to help others was something that Iris didn't set foot on a regular basis.

It wasn't that she had never been in it. It was just that she could never go in without feeling the urge to cry.

Today, that urge was especially strong.

Because the newest statue was one of her best friend.

Asherah had not been able to say more than a word to anyone before the funeral. She had been looked over by one of the healers who had seen to a few very minor cuts and bruises but over all Ash had been fine. That did not leave her feeling very good. It didn't seem fair that she was fine when other people weren't. She was angry at herself.

If only she had been better. She wasn't a brave person. She knew that. She had always known she was not very brave. She remembered that in her world she sometimes heard her parents arguing when they thought she would not hear them because they thought she was as timid as a tuna. They each had different ideas on how to change that so she would be a better princess.

She thought that perhaps she had changed during her time on this world. Cait had been very inspiring as an 'older sister'. Cait was capable of making up her own mind. Cait could talk and say what was on her mind without stammering. Cait was what Ash thought a good princess should be and now she and Mot--Mera are both dead and laying in the royal crypt.

She takes the time to clean her face off again and stands up feeling like she had been sitting too long in a court yard on the palace grounds.

"I should g-go," she says out loud managing to say most of that out loud without much of a tremor in her voice , which was a great improvement. It hurt to be in Atlantis maybe she should see if the Teen Titans will have her aid in fighting the other Titans. She thinks she should try and do that. Even if the thought of fighting scares her and makes her feel like little more than a frightened child which was counter to the progress she had thought she had made.

Oceanus and his wife Tethys approached the domed city of Poseidonis. The world's oceans were once under their rule and would be once again. The usurpers, Poseidon and his followers, would be driven out and Oceanus would once again claim what was rightfully his.

Tethys was next to her husband as they approached the domed city. Poseidon's rule over the oceans would end and his mortal worshipers would properly be worshiping Tethys and Oceanus. The Titans would once again take their rightful places.

The two walked confidently up to the gates of the city.

The Titans of myth being freed from Hades goes beyond just the YJLA. The adults are also working on it, but haven't had a lot of luck, especially with so many of their number in semi-retirement. As such, Jon moved beyond his original plan to hold a meeting of his team, and called to invite representatives of the other teams as well, calling all active roster YJLA, and inviting the other teams to send 1-3 people so things didn't get too crowded. Then they can inform their people what's going on.


"So, folks, we have a big problem. The monsters and beings that have been appearing around the world were freed from the dimension Hades. We don't know how or by who. The Olympian gods have not been forthcoming, even to the Amazons, and even very powerful mystics have been unable to pierce the mystery... though past experience has taught us that's often the case with affairs of the gods. They limit their direct interference in mortal affairs, in exchange, mortals have a very hard time dealing directly with them. Sadly, even though the original Grecian Titans don't have any such compact, to learn what happened, we'd need to get past Hades' protections. The Greek gods may be incapacitated, or may be somehow bound by the compact of the gods. Its very possible that once the original Titans reached Earth, their captors couldn't directly interfere."

He sighs. "Direct confrontation isn't the likely answer. Single gods have fought groups including my father, Wonder Woman and a handful of other senior leaguers. Many of the Titans have the power of an entire team. The Titans are more powerful still - the only reason the Greek Gods defeated them was due to greater unity and better tactics. Don't mistake me - they can be beaten, but we're going to need a good plan, and possibly more allies and greater resources. At this point, I'm open to ideas."

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.

Steve ventured into the kitchen to grab something to eat.  He always had some tofu in the kitchen to eat.  Point of note: Steve was, in fact a vegetarian.  It was among the few things his team actually knew about him, despite the fact that they should probably know more about him.  He was the type of guy who got on the team mostly because of his parents in addition to what he could do, and less because he was a sociable person and made great friends with everybody.  That was definitely something he had to work on.

The Pacific Ocean just off the coast of San Francisco erupted in a spray of water and foam and a giant monster out of myth arose from the surf. The Kraken, a being of gigantic proportions, roared. He was free after so long. He turned and set his sights upon the city of San Francisco.

Discovering she was in another world was the easy part. Finding out where she had a chance of getting some help had been the hard part. She took her time before making a choice.

She left to go to San Fransisco. It was strange not seeing the sights she knew upon entering the bay. It took her some time before she gathered the nerves to go to the island that had the tower.

Finally she gets up the nerve. She gets out of the water and starts walking. Right up to the front door and looks around wondering if this place has a door bell.

She gives up and knocks and waits. She is still nervous as hell. She didn't know what to expect.
