Cait sat in a lotus position on the beach with her eyes closed. The waves washed up on the shore and soaked her, but it didn't register in her mind. Not that she ever minded being wet. She did get strength from the water and today she needed all of her strength and more, physical and mental.

Ty was starting an interview at Star Labs for a position, something he had worked so hard for, and Cait was trying to help keep him centered enough to get through it. The bond that they usually shared was stronger than it had ever been and Cait was still struggling. They were linked so strongly that she could almost hear, smell, see and feel everything he was experiencing. She had never been so far into some other living being's mind before. She could almost imagine the headache that would come after this.

"You're doing fine." Her mental 'voice' was as soothing as she could make it and she exerted as much control as she could through the link. "We can do this."

 Max had to admit, the Titans had a really nice setup here. He was surprised by how quickly they trusted him. While at first he thought that perhaps it was a bit naive, but in truth he appreciated it. It was the kind of acceptance he'd been looking for all his life. He wasn't going to let them down.

"Helping superheroes fight crime. That ought to stick it to the old man," Max said with a smile.

He practically salivated at the opportunities, eyes practically caressing the the materials at hand. Oh yeah, this was going to be fun.

Helping the Titans defeat those robots at the college had been one thing, but actually being invited to the Tower itself? He had to admit he was geeking out a little.  Fortunately when they saw him with the EMP generator they concluded he had stopped the problem, not cause it. Of course after that there was the intial shock at the revelation of his last name. Suspicion, uneasiness, just like always. Strangely enough Mourning Dove had stuck up for him, vouching for his character. And here he was. He had to restrain the urge to run around studying everything inside.

Today was starting like any other day for Maximillian Sivana. The walk from his apartment to class, the looks and mutterings of those who understood the significance of his last name, and the tedium of his classes. Some provided a bit of challenge or interest, but only for a time. As a result of his metahuman ability to retain information, it became obnoxiously simple to pass tests and explain things when called on. Add to that that Max was a prolific reader, he more often than not, knew the entire possible curriculum before the semester was even a quarter of a way through. Unfortunately most people assumed his boredom was due to arrogance. In truth, he knew nearly everything there was to know in his courses and rarely learned anything from the professors that he hadn't already read. The only real joy he got was on the rare occasion he got to debate what he knew with other learned individuals, like that girl he met in The History of Non-Violence. He believed her name was..Ruth? Yeah it was Ruth. Maybe he'd start a conversation, if for no other reason than to do something about the growing boredom he was experiencing.

His memory was a little fuzzy, but Steve knew roughly what he had done.  For the most part, it was all good.  Trigon had kept his part of the bargain, thankfully.  But Steve wasn't sure why he was back in control.  He just was.  First thing he did was go see his parents.  His mother was more worried than his father was, of course.  She'd experienced being possessed by Trigon first-hand, and her experience led to death and reincarnation.  But Steve was not reincarnated.  He was simply...  Steve.  After he had settled things with his family, Steve went to the Tower to check in with his teammates.  He was still a part of the team, and he needed to make sure they were all alright.

It looked like the building had suffered some, but it had been repaired.  He approached it from the outside, a little hesitant on just walking in.

Jai sat at home, in his room, and looked down at the letters before him with a mixture of excitement and dread. Several of the schools he'd requested information from had written back, asking him to come and view their campuses this summer. Coast City University. Gotham University. Florida State and Loyola. University of Connecticut , Star City University and Butler. All of them wanted to meet him.

Then, he looks over the at the first line of the letter that came for him this morning.

...You have been selected to attend the Ellison Student Journalism Youth Forum in London, England from July 11th-July 15th, with Keynote Speaker, Lois Lane....

Jai was excited to go, if for no other reason than wanting to get away from everything around him for awhile. He wasn't Kid Flash anymore, and he wasn't a member of the Justice League. Both of those were his choice, but neither of them made him feel better. And worse, he still thought about Traya all the time.

"Yeah, I really need to get away." he says, to no one in particular, rising from his bed and changing clothes. He tells his mother he'll be back and later and he's gone before she responds.

Three minutes later, he's in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, skipping rocks in the water along the beach. It's soothing enough that he might get a few minutes of peace.

Cait was enjoying her time living at her grandfather's cottage with Ty. The two of them were left alone for the most part save for the occasional visit by one of the townspeople who knew her grandfather and were just checking on her. They said Arthur Sr. would want them to check on his granddaughter.

Life quickly settled into a routine and Cait was happy. There was peace, quiet, Ty and no sign of Arthur. Life was good, but there was one thing nagging at Cait. She had been reunited with her Atlantean family, but there was one family she had yet to be reunited with. They were three thousand miles away, but it wasn't far for Ty.

Cait came down out of the lighthouse and went looking for Ty.

The city of Star City looked deserted. The citizens had either fled or had been turned into black lanterns. At the heart of the city was the entity known as Nekron. Nekron used the city as his base as his black lanterns ravaged the Earth.

The black lanterns increased their numbers each day and the power levels of the black lantern battery increased with each person that died.

Soon Nekron would have enough power to obliterate all life on this planet.

It started as any other morning in San Francisco. The sun came up in the East and people climbed from the beds to start their day.

The Titans in Titans Tower were starting their day. Their new sister team from the East were visiting for a meeting to discuss the current situation. While they were inside making plans, the waters of the Pacific started to churn. Waves kicked up and dark clouds blocked out the light of the sun.

The water quickly pulled back from the shore and things were calm for the briefest of moments. Then a huge tsunami crashed ashore and water flooded the lower half of the city.

The Avengers were shown to quarters in the YJLA headquarters and given some time to get cleaned up and settle in. When the allotted time was up everyone on both sides were called to the meeting room. It would be a time to do formal introductions and figure out why the Avengers were here.

Svalin found the room without any problems and entered. It was empty and she took a seat in a chair that allowed her a good view of the door.

Jarrod was feeling pretty out of sorts he had had a rather disturbing vision recently and he was not sure what it meant, but it really scared him. Unlike his usual visions which use actively caused this one had just come to him out of the blue without warning.

He had seen a black book with the symbol of a prism eating light on it. He then saw it become freed from what he could only assume was the vault imprisoning it. There was chanting though he could not see or tell where the voices were coming from. He also couldn’t really make out what they were seeing but they gave him really ominous vibes. Then from out of the vault like a black swarm rings baring the same symbol as the book flew out of it. The black cloud then spread across the cosmos to the dead. The hands of the dead reached out to the ring as if accepting their dark power though he wasn’t entirely certain about the truth behind that. He thought he recognized some of the people but he was to uncertain of it. Then all he could see was blackness.

He wanted to look and know more but he didn’t know where to look and he was scared to look. He had talked to his mom about that and found out she had seen something similar but was just as lookless as him on what it meant.

He had teleported to the Titians Towers to see if a new setting would help up his mind at ease but it hadn’t.

So he had made himself a pot of herbal tea to drink and sat down in the living room.

Mike had talked to Sindella about what the girls had been up to so secretly and may have used telepathy to read her surface thoughts and found out about Rate the Hunk. Sindella had not been very happy about that and made him swear not to ask anything more about that and that he was going to have to do something big to make it up to her.

But he had been given the idea to host a rate the babe event for the guys because that sounded like a ton of fun to him. Since he was done with classes for the semester he drove to metropolis to set things up for the party at his dad’s penthouse there.

He sent out invites to all the teams he knew about that they could come and also made a special note to the teleports to not try directly teleporting inside with the wards his dad had set up

.He then set up the projector for the photos and got enough food and drinks to feed everyone one then some.

In a swirling of mystical energies Jarrod appeared in front of Titans Tower. He hadn’t been there in a while so he thought it would be polite to ring the door bell rather than just appearing inside. The Titans had been like home to him and he knew a lot of the people on the team since he was little.

He had gotten a feeling that it would be a good idea for him to help out with the Titans for a while which was why he had come there. Doing something like this wasn’t surprising especially for him. Jarrod always did seem to have a knack for knowing where he should be and when to be there.
