I'm Wide Awake and You're Still My Dream
There was the sudden intake of breath and Cait gasped, expecting water not air. For a second it felt like she was suffocating, but then her body adjusted to breathing air. She coughed a few times and drew in deep breaths. She was alive again.

Cait opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She looked around. None of her surroundings were familiar. At all. It wasn't Atlantis or Titans Tower. Where in Hades was she?

What happened? She remembered Oceanus' attack and the darkness and cold settling over her when he killed her. Then...gods of the sea...the walking nightmare. Attacking Atlantis. Killing so many and watching her father die by having his heart ripped out by his wife.

Ty. Tears formed in her eyes and spilled out at the thought of him as the memories of the walking nightmare came rushing back. Cait had used his love for her against him. By Dis, did she really do all of that? Did she cause so much death and destruction?

Ty. Where was he? She sat up and looked around searching frantically for Ty. Shouldn't he be here? He didn't die. She knew he didn't. She had watched William Hand take over, but it didn't kill him. He had to be alive. Cait reached out to him with her mind.

Ty, my love. Where are you?

	Ruth will just run towards waht she thinks is Jay and, when she sees him, scream his name, wrenched raw out of her throat, the tension of the last few days pouring out of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cait stumbled through the building. She was severely dehydrated, but finding Ty was more important right now. She could find water after she found Ty.

It took her awhile to navigate the maze of hallways and rooms, but she eventually found an exit. She pushed the door open and stumbled out into the bright sunlight.

Ty? she asked and looked around. There was destruction everywhere. Tears formed in her eyes again.

	Jay can't quite manage running. He's just been dead, after all, but he stumbles faster when he hears that voice. "Ruth! Oh god... Ruth... I'm so... so sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Over here. he guides Cait through their link. I, can't walk... right now, but I'm here, love. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She dashes over and throws her arms tight around him. "No, no, I'm sorry. Should've been there for you; should've saved you. But I was busy somewhere else, and oh Jay..." her voice cracks. "I thought I'd lost you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait concentrated on the link she shared with Ty to lead her to him. I am coming. She stumbled across the battlefield and saw him sitting there. She stopped in her tracks and her stomach knotted up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sits up painfully, but smiles when he sees her. Its... going to be ok, love. It looks bad... but we'll fix it. The dead... are all returning. I can feel them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jay hugs Ruth back, leaning on her for physical, as well as emotional support. "But you didn't... you were needed... and now you're stuck with me again.... I love you so much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She clutched. "I love you, Jay," she sobbed, finally letting the tears come for a moment before she kissed him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He kisses her back, pulling her tight to him. "I'm never leaving you again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Ruth'll just stay pressed against him, resting her head on his shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)
