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.

It wasn't exactly the sort of thing Dolphin enjoyed doing, or ever wanted to do, but someone had to gather up Caitria's belongings and give them to Arthur. The Titans wouldn't keep her things forever and Dolphin didn't want to see them get thrown out. They were what was left of Princess Little Fish as Cerdian liked to call Cait.

Arthur was in no shape to do it. To say that Dolphin was worried about her long time friend, her king and the man who was once a lover, was an understatement. Arthur had lost his son, his wife and his daughter and looked like a man about to fall into the abyss. Dolphin knew that if given the chance Arthur would follow them into the grave.

Dolphin placed the last of the books in one of the three boxes. Cait hadn't been one to have many possessions and all of hers from her time on the surface had fit into three boxes. Her clothes had been bagged up and donated to Goodwill. The books and other small items would be stored until Arthur decided what to do with them. If he ever did.

Dolphin wasn't surprised to find that most of Cait's possessions were books. She was more like Arthur than the two of them cared to admit. Both loved to read and learn, which is why Dolphin understood Cait's desire to be on the surface. There was so much more to see, do and learn than in Atlantis. Arthur never understood and it caused so many problems between father and daughter.

Dolphin looked around. The room was bare and all clothes and possessions had been bagged and boxed up. Except for the one item Dolphin didn't know what to do with.

It was a statue of a dolphin playing on the waves. Dolphin had initially thought it had been made out of crystal, but when she took a closer look at it she discovered it had been made out of ice. Somehow it was not melting. The craftsmanship was exquisite and the details were amazing. It was so life like that she almost expected the thing to start moving. It was a very Cait item and Dolphin guessed it had been a gift.

Maybe one of the Titans had given it to her and would like it back to remember Cait by. Dolphin went to see who was around.

Jai West should have been at JLA headquarters with the others, but a few things conspired to keep him from doing so. First, his tutoring session with Mitzi Storm ran /way/ over the time limit they'd set because Mitzi was having issues with Trigonometry. Jai patiently explained everything a few times and Mitzi seemed to get it, culminating in her being able to finish several of the equations on her own.

Mitzi was so thrilled at her progress that she kissed Jai out of sheer joy.

He was in no hurry to tell Traya about /that/, so when the guys said they wanted to go to Big Mack's for burgers, Jai was all for it. He figured he'd get a quick dinner in, catch up with Traya for a bit, then go home and talk to Mom about his report on the American media and its influence on society.

Once dinner was done, Jai was ready to tell Traya what happened, despite all of his friends' advice to the contrary. They all thought it was a better idea for him not talk about it, especially since they were still using Traya's name with air quotes. He really had to get her to come to the school sometime and show his friends up.

He walked down the street to an alleyway, ready to run for it when his cell phone rang. Lookign at the Caller ID, he sees Mom calling him.

"Hey, Mom. What's up?" Jai asks.
