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.

Allanah is patching people up, but she has her goddess of exposition moments. This is one of them.

"Cait, your phone is ringing. Might be another person needing a save."

Cait was a little surprised her phone was ringing. Only a very few people had her number and the one with the most reason to call her was in the room. Ty was the only one who called her on a regular basis and then it was usually to see what time she would be home from work. Her father would never call and choose to drop in unexpectedly.

She grabbed it and answered it. "Hello?"

"Hi...um Cait?" Iris is still fighting off the tears, "It's Iris West. You gave me your number that one time and said that I should call you if I needed to?"

Cait was quiet for a moment as she thought about the name. Right. Now she remembered. "Hey Iris. What's up?" Somehow her gut told her this wasn't a coincidence.

She can't help it. The tears come through. "It's my parents,"-sniff- "They...they..."

Cait sighed. "I know. Your parents and a few others have been taken. Come over to my place if you're near Metropolis. We're gathering here to figure out what we're going to do."

Cait gave her the address.
