Weekend Away
Roy's checked the brakes, and the tires, and the spare tire on the vehicle. He made sure all the packs had basic medical kits, that the tents were really good tents, and the flashlights were all new, with batteries to spare. He's made Lian go over the lists of essentials twice, and he's lost count of how many times he's lectured her about being in charge, and the responsibility that goes with it.

Because it's making him feel like Ollie, he'll be done now. Really. There's no more he could possibly check with her.

"You have the numbers to all the local ranger stations and the hospital, right?"

Lian nods patiently, having flashbacks to her first day of school, and keeps nodding after he stops speaking.

"I also have the coordinates of each locked in on my communicator, and the Island, and the Watchtower in case the world ends. Isn't Doctor Zukov supposed to be our resident neurotic?"

"And you're still responsible for his daughter on this trip, and a lot of other people's kids. You're the adult." Wait, he's doing it again.

He sighs and smiles. "Let me handle the good doctor. You worry about the kids."

"And remember," Dr. Zukov says, exiting the tower with his daughter beside him, "You'll encounter many auras you've never been exposed to before. Strange ... mesmerizing, even. Just, uh ... ju-j-just remember that the bears aren't friendly, alright?"

She's barely been out of range of his own supernatural senses since the day they killed his wife, and tried to kill them too. Caleb is overwhelmed with how nervous the prospect of this trip makes him, but she can't live her life if she's forever bound to the house, now can she?"

"And if anything goes wrong, Lian Harper here has all the emergency information, the radios, the medical supplies..."

Jeannie is way too excited to hear her father. She lacks the superspeed to vibrate, but the enthusiasm is there.

She nods along just so he thinks she's listening. A little picture pops up next to her of a small child in a carseat, and she casts a big, red "X" over it. Kissing her father's cheek, she breaks off to load her bag in the van.

Caleb crosses his arm and stands there, quietly watching his daughter. He isn't cross with her in the slightest, but his own anxiety is a match for her enthusiasm.

"It gets easier, I hope?" He inquires towards Roy.

Roy chuckles. "They'll be fine. Jeannie's in good hands, trust me."

"If I didn't, she wouldn't be going."

He snaps in recognition of a lost thought. "I need to run back inside," he says. "I left the silver bullets on the table."

Cerdian swings his bag over one shoulder.

"All set," he tells Lian.

"Set here, too." Ty calls, phasing out of the building and floating down to the ground. He's packing light - the joys of not needing to sleep or eat. He glances towards the worried fathers. "They'll be fine, sirs. I'm sure Lian has everything in hand. There's also telepaths and magic along, if anything happens or we forget something."

"Fine, fine, good, good, get in the car," Teddy mutters to himself, already having found a seat for the travel to the campsite.

Two years ago, he and his dad took two weeks to climb a mountain, with nothing but the packs on their backs. This? Is a joke. But the senior Knight ordered him along, something about a good "team social exercise."

Teddy grumbles and goes back to his DS-Lite.

"Me too," Traya says, coming down the stairs, before slipping and bumping her way down a good third of the steps on her butt.

"...I'm okay!"

Lian rolls her eyes with a chuckle. Over the years she's gotten to hear all of her aunts and uncles talk about her Uncle Wally's behavior, and she's gotten to see Bart Allen in person, so she's not surprised in the least to realize that she gets one on her team, too. And honestly? The fact that it's Teddy is so not a shock.

"You heard the caffeine junky," Lian says loudly enough for everyone to hear, "any Titans who are going, let's load up!"

Despite the fact that he doesn't really need any supplies, and carries what he has mostly for conveniences, and this should be pretty simple, Ty is actually pretty excited, never having done anything remotely like camping before. Tossing his tiny pack in the car, he quickly scoots over to offer Traya a hand up.

"Okay!" Lian says cheerfully, thumping the outside of the truck door. "Let's get out of here before Doctor Zukov remembers that we forgot to pack holy water or my dad asks me if I checked the oil for the tenth time!"

After a quick look in the mirrors to verify the dads are clear, Lian pulls out, resisting the urge to kick up gravel.

"Can I get a soda?" Lian asks, holding her right hand up to receive the soda can as soon as they're out of sight of Caleb and her dad.

Iris is late.

"I knew I should've set my alarm today..." she mutters to herself as she runs along to where the car with the her friends is driving along the gravel road.

She may have overshot it just a bit.

They'll catch up to her in a few minutes anyway.

Grinning, Iris places her camping gear on the ground next to her and sticks her thumb out.

Jeannie's halfway through getting a soda from the cooler when she sees Iris up the way. Jeannie's forgotten about the soda.

Once they're at a stop, she throws the door open and scoots over for Iris, hands out in offering to help with the gear. Also, she's got to tease Iris a bit. Little red and yellow "Z"s crop up in the air.

Jeanie's not the only one who needs to bust stones. Lian turns around, looking over her Billy Joel sunglasses at Iris with a smirk.

"How do you of all people manage to be late, Twinkle-Toes?" Lian nods toward Jeanie. "You're lucky I stopped. This one's dad would drop dead of a stroke if he knew I was stopping for hitchhikers."

If nothing stops her, Iris will have a Traya glomp.

"Iris! Yay! You made it! I totally thought you'd forgot!"

Jeannie nods in agreement with Lian and parts her hands, flared out; no more parents' paranoia!

She climbs nonchalantly over seats and people, though careful not to step on anyone, to put the luggage in the back with all the others. She settles in a space near a window so she can watch the aura colors that pass.

Over an hour later, Lian pulls into a dirt parking lot, killing the engine. They'll be camping within sight of the truck, but at this point the truck is roughly fifteen miles down a logging road.

"Let the games begin!" Lian says, swinging down from the truck's cab and smiling at the lack of parents, teachers, and world-ending threats.

"Teddy. Why don't you take Cerdian, Traya, and Iris and start setting up the tents off to the side, and the rest of us will get the campfire and the eating area set up."

Cerdian could easily set up the tents through magic without lifting a finger, but he'd rather do it manually. He grabs an armload of tents and helps carry them towards the proper area.

"Whoooo!" Traya cried with glee as she got out of the van. "Nature, I am here!"

That's a good thing, because Teddy doesn't trust magic for the tent he's going to sleep in. It's bad enough the three guys are getting shoved in one, even if it is twice as big as either of the girls'. He puts his game system away as he grabs a bunch of stuff.

Of course he gets tent duty with the two girly-girls. Traya needs an entourage for all her luggage! Over under the trees, Teddy takes a look around. "If we put up there-- there-- and over here-- we can have shade pretty much all day. Unless someone has a preference for baking like a tostada?"

It may help Teddy's sensibilities some that Ty has no need of sleep, nor any intent to bother. It'll be crowded enough, and he's kind of looking forward to sitting up and listening to the sounds of the campsite at night.

Noting Cerdian not doing things the easy way, and still enthused about this camping thing, Ty does the same, starting to work on getting the campsite set up manually, working on building an efficient firepit.

Gleeful to be out of the cramped vehicle, Jeannie steps out onto earth and breathes in the fresh air. It is wonderful here! This place is--

She drops the bag with the tarp over by where Lian is, and then walks slowly to the nearest tree, always looking up. She touches the bark. Things watch here.

She backs away quietly and goes back to the truck. She'll unload that for a while... away from the trees...
