Within his pressurized sensory deprivation chamber, Tempest meditated. With every possible stimulus that could assault his razor-sharp senses gone, he was in a perfect state of mind to reflect inward. Clear, calm, cool thoughts rolled through him like a tranquil pond. Most chambers similar to his had one float in shallow water, but this one was modified to submerge him completely. Clean, hot water ran in through his nostrils, across his gills and out of his mouth. However, as he had reached his center and was about to enter a deeper trance, something unsettled him. A strange presence had entered the tower, and he had the feeling that this would not lead to good things for the Teen Titans.
Pressing the released, Tempest climbed out of the chamber, using his hydrokinetic power to dry himself and avoid leaving puddles on the nice, clean floor of his room. He stretched his limbs as he made his way down toward the lobby, the source of where he felt the disturbance. He quickly found it; a man equipped like an assassin that had happened upon Rose. Apparently he was looking for someone? He wasn't likely to get very far using these tactics. Still, Rose was in all likelihood more than enough to take this guy, and if not, Tempest was close at hand. As it happened, there was another intruder that required dealing with.
Tempest made his way down to the tower's main entrance. This one had just decided to waltz in through the front door like he owned the place, and started shouting for attention. This was... Taskmaster? He had been around here before. Apparently he had been meaning for some time to join the team, and this was likely what he had come about this time.
To avoid a potential hassle, Tempest decided not to assume anything as he made himself known. "Yes, yes, that's enough shouting. People live here, you know. Now, to what do I owe this... surprise visit, Taskmaster?"
