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."

Supergirl's communicator went off at the same time as everyone else's did, but she'd had to save her mother from a hostage situation in Metropolis while her brother was on the other side of the planet.

Her communicator was destroyed when she learned that one of the criminals was packing, no joke, a surface-to-air missile launcher. Safe to say, it had not been a fun afternoon and she hadn't even been able to call anyone to them she was going to be late.

She arrives to see the galleon in the bay and wonders if the rest of the team can see this.

She goes looking for reinforcements.

	"So he's trying to marry Cait," Steve noticed with a deadpan. Really? That was the master plan? "So how do we want to handle this?" he asked. "He's probably done something to try and combat each of us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Supergirl speeds into the room and the conversation. "You know, I don't really want to bet Cait's life on that, especially when some of Ty's manifestations aren't known for taking his wishes into account on how women should be treated." she says. She still has flashbacks to the whole Fu-Manchu Mustache of Inappropriate Touching and shudders involuntarily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, since Ty isn't trying to marry a boy right now, I'm pretty sure his wishes are being met with regarding Cait. She might get hurt, but she's not going to get killed."

Maybe that wasn't as comforting a thought as some people wanted, but it was how Steve saw it.

"He's clearly more concerned with hurting us, in any case," he said. "Otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to show up here. And I doubt he thinks we're willing to play along with the wedding, so let's try to focus on that."

	"Avast, ye swabs, here they come!" he calls. He can scry too. And he was expecting them. He may not know a lot of the Titans personally, but he's aware of their capabilities, and tried to build for them in his robots. He turns back, mind controlling Cait to walk down the aisle. "Yarrr... Captain, ye may proceed with the ceremonies." he tells the fake-Hook robot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jo nods and speeds downstairs, leaping onto the ship to do battle with the robots. She slugs the closet one and realies that these things won't go down as easily as she thought. Still, she's going to soak up some damage while her teammates get into position. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ty turns to grin at the Titans. "Ye'll be just in time to witness the marriage to the Pirate's bride!" he calls, erecting a force field around the ceremony.

Meanwhile, the robots begin breaking out new weapons. Psychic screamers to hurt and distract psychics, red sun radiation in Jo's general direction, wide beam weapons to make things a little harder on Iris.

The robots aren't invulnerable - he lacked the material for that, but they're definitely better, and more customized than bargain basement minions.

The Captain robot continues the ceremony behind the force field.

	Jarrod compartmentalized his mind to deal with the psychic countermeasure. He considered himself lucky he wasn't using those powers right now. He focused his aura on Ty that would cause waves of calming and tranquil feeling to wash over his mind to give it peace. He was leaving the talking to Iris and Ruth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
