Alone time
One thing about living with so many people that Cait didn't like was that there was always someone around. It felt like it had been ages since she had some quiet time alone with Ty. Every time she tried to spend some time alone with Ty, someone showed up. It was frustrating to say the least.

Back in their apartment it had been just the two of them and quiet alone time was in abundance. They could sit for hours and play chess and never see another living soul. They could read book after book or just talk quietly to each other and no one would interrupt.

Cait appreciated having a place to live that wasn't Atlantis, but she did wish that on occasion not so many people were around. It felt like she was living in the royal palace in Poseidonis again.

Determined to spend some alone time with her boyfriend and keeping a promise to let him see her in a bikini, Cait went looking for him. A nice relaxing swim in the Pacific would do nicely.

	Ty is usually pretty easy to find, usually haunting the library or communal den, depending on how social he was feeling. As usual, he picks up on her approach well before she arrives. "Hey beautiful." he calls with a smile from the table stacked with science books as she enters. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Cait had a bright smile for him. He could always make her smile just by looking at her. "Hey handsome. Feel up for a swim?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope. Just want to get out of here for awhile...with you," she said and held out a hand to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes her hand and envelops the two of them in a yellow aura for protection before phasing them through the walls of the tower and out into the Pacific Ocean, figuring Cait will be more comfortable swimming than flying. "How about somewhere warm then? Bahamas maybe?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-25 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Anywhere you want," she said. The temperature didn't bother her since her physiology was designed to handle more extreme temperatures. "I just wanted some time alone with you. It doesn't matter where we are as long as there isn't someone else around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I can do that." he responds, reaching out with his mind to sweep ahead of him for minds until he finds what he's looking for. A long stretch of inaccessible beach with not a single human being for miles around.
Once he's found it, the trip takes only a few compressed seconds before he releases the bubble, leaving them floating underwater not far from the shore.
"Our own private beach."

	That got him a kiss. "Thank you," she said after the kiss. "I'm not used to having so many people around all of the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-11-25 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	He returns the kiss, floating slowly to the surface with her as he kisses her back. "You're welcome. Now that I've seen the place, I can always teleport us back here. I don't mind the people, but privacy with you is always nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-25 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Cait nodded. "Yes, alone time is always nice. I'm grateful for the Titans for giving us a place to live, but I'm not used to so much activity and so many people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, you've kind of been on your own for so long. I don't mind it, but then I got used to the labs, and always kid of wanted siblings and stuff. But getting away is still good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-26 12:05 am UTC (link)
	Cait shrugged. "It was just my mother and me for awhile and then it was grandfather and me. I just need to get used to so many people again. It's similar to living in Poseidonis." She smiled a little. "Do you like the bikini?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-11-26 12:09 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, it was just Mom and me at home. But school was always pretty packed, and there were a few people around most of the time in the labs. And yes, I love it. You make it look great. Speaking of which, I probably should have brought a suit, huh?" He transmutes his wet clothes into a swimsuit and t-shirt. It'll do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-26 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"Flatterer," she accused and then kissed him. He was good for her ego. "You're doing well with having so many people around. I'm proud of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-11-26 12:22 am UTC (link)
	"Is it flattery if its true? I've been wanting to see you in a bikini for quite a while now, after all." he replies with a grin. "So far, its been pretty low stress. Iris is easy on the sense of humor and all that, and most of the people are pretty nice. Well, AJ kind of reminds me of your dad, and that Amazon girl is scary, but otherwise..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-26 12:29 am UTC (link)
	"I know and I did promise that you would get to see me in one. I couldn't break that promise." Cait lifted them up out of the water until they were standing on the surface. "AJ is nothing like Daddy," she said. "The others are nice too. I haven't met the Amazon yet." Which should be interesting when she did eventually meet her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He kisses her again. "I appreciate that, its everything I'd expected and then some. You're beutiful, you know that?"

He pauses, then nods. "I know he's not the same, just has some of the same kind of serious manner and all. I don't know AJ very well yet. He's probably much easier going around family. As for Corrinna... don't know if she'll be hanging around or not. She's very... uhm, severe, I guess."

Kissing was good.

"Which means someone has to teach him to loosen up before he turns into Daddy. That would be bad. Very bad."

Though AJ didn't have all the pressure and stress that her father carried around with him. Ruling a kingdom came with a lot of problems and Cait wasn't sure she wanted to deal with them when it was her turn to take the throne.

"Sounds like we have our work cut out for us. People can't go through life that uptight. It's not good for them."

	"I don't know, some of it just seems to come with the whole super hero lifestyle. Your dad, Wonder Woman, some of the lanterns... all have a reputation for being pretty uptight. Still, not going to get any argument from me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-26 05:47 am UTC (link)
	"Another reason not to be a superhero," she said. "Thankfully I have you to keep me from getting too uptight." Not to mention being far away from Atlantis helped. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-11-26 06:22 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know, it has its advantages too. But you know that we can get away from there any time you like. I've got this place committed to memory now, so its a couple seconds away any time you need your own private island to relax on. If it helps any, in selecting a private island, I chose the one with a pod of dolphins a few miles away, by the bye." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-26 08:28 am UTC (link)
	Cait smiled. "It didn't go unnoticed," she said. "I sensed them when we first arrived. They're curious." Then she had a thought and sent out a message to them. "Want to go for a ride?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-11-26 09:47 am UTC (link)
	"I figured you might ask. And of course I would." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-26 09:50 am UTC (link)
	"Am I getting to be that predictable?" she asked as she watched for signs of the pod. It shouldn't take too long for them to arrive. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-11-26 09:55 am UTC (link)
	"Only when it comes to dolphins, which you've always been pretty predictable with. I'm ok with that though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-26 09:57 am UTC (link)
	Cait blushed and bowed her head. "I can't help it. Some were my closest friends when I was younger." Princess Caitria didn't have many friends her age, so dolphins filled in just nicely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't have to be sorry, dolphins are awesome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-26 10:03 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not sorry, just a little embarrassed about my obsession." The pink dolphin was still out there. One day she would get the chance to meet it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-11-26 10:57 am UTC (link)
	"Nothing to be embarassed about, dolphins are a good thing. And we can always go meet your favorite dolphin any time you like, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-11-26 11:26 am UTC (link)
	She eyed him. "Are you reading my mind?" On the distance dark shapes could be seen breaking the surface. Cait smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-12-02 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Not intentionally, but ever since you contacted me telepathically, I pick up on your surface thoughts sometimes, like when I was looking for the dolphins. And, of course, the pink Dolphin is one of your favorite topics." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-12-02 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh," she said. She loved Ty, but wasn't totally comfortable with someone reading her thoughts. Even surface ones. She kissed his cheek. "It is and I want to meet him or her. Maybe some day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-12-11 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	"We can do that whenever you like, you know." he replies, picking up on the concern in her face and voice. "Its not a constant thing, when I was scanning for the dolphins, I picked up you too. Your brain patterns are similar to some of the higher aquatic life forms in some ways. I try to be very careful with my telepathy. I'm sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-12-11 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	"You don't need to be sorry," she assured him. "It was an accident and not your fault. It was my fault for linking with you in the first place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-12-11 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	"I know, I just feel bad. I don't like making you uncomfortable, but getting proper finesse with all these powers is tricky, even aside from the big control issue. Some days I still just feel like the best thing for everyone would be if I disappeared into deep space for a couple years to practice where I can't hurt anyone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-12-11 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Cait's eyes narrowed. "Don't ever, ever, say that again. You being here is the best thing for me. If we have to go somewhere else so you don't hurt anyone, then so be it. I. Will. Not. Lose. You." The water under them began to churn in response to Cait's emotions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-12-11 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	He reaches out to try and help calm the waters. "Cait, you're the only reason I'm still here. I love you more than I fear myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-12-11 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Then don't ever say that again," she said and took a deep breath. She gave him a firm kiss. "I love you too and I never want to lose you. I am always here for you and will help you keep control." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-12-11 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	He kisses her back deeply. "Ok, I'm sorry. I know it upsets you, I just worry. I know you're here for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-12-11 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	"It was a surprise," she said. "But I'm okay with you picking up occasional thoughts." She smiled. "As long as you're the only one. Let's go for that swim." The dolphins had arrived and Cait lowered them back into the water. She was all smiles as she greeted the dolphins. (Reply to this)(Parent)
