Yo Ho Ho And a Bottle Of Rum
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 stumbled into the room, his clothes a little sooty from the experiment he'd been working on when Cait's message went out. He was still getting used to the emergency-at-any-time phenomenon, but he was learning. "Um, is this a time-to-panic situation or a really-need-to-talk kind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For someone who professed not to want to be a super-hero, Charlotte was sure spending a lot of time with them. Ah, well. Such was life. Just like her dad, really. If there was trouble, she wanted to help. "What's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ty's interview went very well," Cait said, "But there was a glitch afterward. Ty manifested...Captain Stingaree." She made a face as she said the name. "I cannot reestablish a link with him and we have to go find him. I'm afraid we have a pirate problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jarrod stood off to the side. "I can probably pin point his location pretty fast," he says. His psychic powers were very good for that sort of thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's worth a shot," Cait said to Jarrod. "I can't find him." Cait was clearly worried. Not being able to find Ty's mind meant it was serious and Cait grew more worried by the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not as much of a threat as it could be," Steve said, keeping things on the more positive side. "Captain Stingaree is the least threatening manifestation he has. Just don't let him get behind you, Jarrod, Max." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Let's do all we can to find Ty," Cait said firmly. "Most likely he'll get a ship, or make one, so I'll see what information I can find out from the sea creatures. The rest of you, can you please use whatever resources you have to help find him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well I can send some of my spy drones out, see if they can pick up any sudden ship appearances on visual. In the meantime I can check for odd radio signals. What does this Stingaree guy usually go for techwise?" Max asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You could try a rainbow cavalier," Steve commented. Despite the fact that Ty was lost in a manifestation, the whole situation seemed pretty funny. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jarrod didn't react to the joke. He just opened his mind to telepathically look for signs of Ty or the types of things he might be up to. He didn't look directly for Ty's mind. There were somethings he didn't want in his head with his powers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Can we focus here?" Cait asked a little irritable. "Stay on comms and if one of you finds Ty, please let the rest of us know. Don't approach him without the rest of the team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The psychics get flashes - and a distinct sign that he's using Hector Hammond's powers to prevent himself being found so easily.

He may be manifesting Stingaree, but that doesn't mean he's not without his other abilities. Otherwise, he'd only be as dangerous as, well, Captain Stingaree.

Meanwhile, out of sight, he continues work on building his crew, making sure, since he knows he's being sought out, that they'll make a reasonable match for the Titans - so he can make sure he has time to marry his bride - his plans with Cait are far from done.

	Cait didn't wait for Iris' input. She knew what needed to be done and it was time to do it. "Good luck." She headed for the teleporters. The Earth's oceans were pretty damn big and it was a lot of area to cover. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Charlotte looked between the assembled Titans that were left. "Okay... what just happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Steve didn't get the flashes. He wasn't actually looking for Ty, since his powers didn't work that way, and he was extremely well guarded with his mental blocks. So he really didn't know about the flashes.

"It's an issue for later," he said, referring to the fact that Cait was trying to take back leadership from Iris. She could very well do that is Iris agreed to it, but that hadn't been discussed between them yet.

	Max raised an eyebrow. Apparently there more issues here than he realized. "I wasn't aware there was a power-struggle going on here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jarrod didn't see the visions either since he wouldn't touch Ty's mind with a ten foot pole. It was to unstable which could be bad for everyone. He was starting to close in on the area where Ty was with a combination of his various psychic powers. He telepathically sent Cait the area he had reduced it too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Um... should we go after her?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"At this point I would say no," Jarrod says, "I think we should do a little preparing before we head out there. What do you think Iris?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
