Regrouping (bendytimed back to right after the others showed up)
The small apartment was big enough for Cait and Ty to move about without bumping elbows too much, but with this many people it seemed smaller than normal. Wounds were tended to as best as possible and people found somewhat soft spots to relax. Cait ordered pizzas to be delivered, using up a good portion of her rainy day funds. This definitely qualified as a rainy day. She could always work a little more at the aquarium.

Work. She had to remember to call work. She wouldn't be going in tomorrow and she'd tell them an family emergency had come up. Which it had. Cerdian was family. He had been like another brother to her when they were young. He was closer to her own age than her own brother.

"So what are you all going to do now?" she asked the assembled crew. Yes, she asked what they were going to do. She wasn't a part of this and didn't want to be a part. Cait wasn't a hero.

	"We'll get you patched up, fed and you have a place to rest." Cait knew what Cerdian meant, but it didn't mean she was going to be reasonable about this or give in easily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If that's what you can do, thank you," Cerdian replies quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait knew what he was doing. Nothing worked better than guilt and right now she had a big helping of it. Her shoulders slumped. "I'll do anything to help." Cerdian was family and family stuck together. After this she wanted nothing to do with heroing. "Do you have a plan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We gotta go back out there and rescue everybody! Who knows what old stone-face is doing to our parents!" Traya said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We're going to get them back," Lian says, trying to sound confident. "But running head-first into Mongul with two extra people isn't going to end any better than it did last time. The first thing we need to do is figure out what our resources are and compare that to what we know about Mongul's resources."

The second is to get Henry alone and talk to him. Lian has seen Uncle Hal shatter tanks with that ring. No way in Hell it should have been that useless against Mongul.

	Teddy's scarfing down pizza. Pizza is good. Once he's done his mouthful, he wipes his face with his sleeve. "Us: noobs. Mongul: pwn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can't speak for Cait, but it sounds like she's in. I'm willing to help too. And whatever he can do, I can probably make a difference." As long as he doesn't get too stressed about it. Not that he wants to mention that here in front of these strangers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"First we should all get a good night's rest. Someone or two can have my room and there's the couch. I'll sleep in the bathtub tonight." Why yes, she did do that often. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't need to sleep, so someone can have my room too. I can keep watch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How can you guys even talk about sleep at a time like this?!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-08-07 04:14 am UTC (link)
	"Some of you are hurt, and you're almost all exhausted. I can help, to a degree, but not as much as rest would." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	teddyurastar 2009-08-07 08:50 am UTC (link)
	"He's right," Teddy agrees. "We don't have the experience to just roll out in this shape." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We need to be at the top of our game to stand a chance against Mongul," Cerdian nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-08-07 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	"So that means you all rest. Then we can figure out how to tackle this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-08-08 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"Like I said, I don't need sleep, and I can monitor everyone easily enough, so you should be fairly safe while you rest. The people who are less hurt, or need less sleep can fill us in on what's going on meanwhile and hopefully some kind of plan can be worked out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Traya frowned, but was forced to admit that they had a point. But these guys had her dad! And everyone else's too. But... Her dad had rescued her, when she was just a baby. Had come back from the dead several times for her and her mom. She had to save him. She just had to. "Yeah... I guess you're right." (Reply to this)(Parent)
