Athena

Partners 2.0//s2

Lynn

Aphrodite and Willow have been at their apartment resting with supervision while the rest of us were hanging out in Athena's room.

Thoughts about my siblings kept running through my head. 

Leo

"It was a distraction." Lynn said out of random.
"What?" Iris with a confused tone.

"Athena's attack was a mere distraction so my sister and brothers could sneak onto an atlas pod." She says up "Think about it. Two of them must've attacked Athena which is most likely Lucas and Lydia. Luke must've stood by because they knew that they would contact Atlas. They did Athena real bad so it could keep the whole team occupied. Once we made it to camp we were all distracted with Athena's health that we didn't even notice them sneak into a pod."
"Why would they flee?" Alice asked while Flynn was laying his head on her shoulder. "It would makes sense to attack the entire place." 
"That's how we were trained." Lynn replied. "Do as much damage as we can do while everyone is working on rebuilding we can attack when vulnerable."
"We need to make sure that doesn't happen." Steph said.
"My parents are head of Atlas protection team so I'll talk to them about this." Iris said.
"With that said," Grey said sleepily "We need to relax and rest but stay alert. Everyone just go home and we'll contact if anything happens."

"Are we not gonna talk about how Aphrodite suddenly had powers?!" Alice said in shock.
"Athena connected her spirit." Reese said leaving the team confused. "Athena contacted Aphrodite in the void so she could fuse her power onto Aphrodite; giving Aph temporary powers to attack the enemy."

Willow

"That's amazing." I said to Aphrodite after she had explained the powers. "I didn't know that was possible."
She shrugged "We should both get rest."
I nodded.

Anthony

The rest of the team went home but I stood my post by guarding over Athena. She wouldn't want me here but, I just wanna make sure nothing else happens to her.

Chris

I knocked at Aphrodite's and Willow's apartment to drop off some food.
"Hey." Willow whispered with a guard sleeping on their couch.
"Hey." I smiled softly.
"Come on in." She said.
"I made you and Aphrodite some cake." I rested the bag on her counter.
"Thanks." She smiled.
"How are you guys?" I asked.
"Aphrodite is sleep and I've been trying to sleep. No luck." She chuckled.
"I can hang out for a bit? It might help."
"Yeah. Sure." She nodded.

We watched a couple of episodes of her favorite show. I was using my phone when I took a quick glance down at her and found her sleeping on her chest.
I took the remote and turned off the TV before laying on my side facing her.

I smiled softly and revealed Willow's adorable fluffy ears from her hair.  I scratched behind the fluffy ears when she whimpered silently,  pulling her body onto me and burying her face in my chest.
I blushed and hugged her body, shutting my eyes and eventually falling asleep.

Alice

I was trying a tea recipe Leo suggested to me when I heard a knock at my door.
"Just a second!" I was blending herbs and boiling water.

Flynn

"Flynn?" Alice opened her door. "You should be back at your apartment."
"Grey's sleeping so I have no one to mess with."

Alice

"And...Athena..." He broke down into soft crying.
"Hey..." I pulled his head to my shoulder and comforted him.
He sobbed silently and hugged me. "Everything is okay." I pulled back and welcomed him in my apartment.

Flynn

"Here." She set a cup of warm water ahead of me on the coffee table and wrapped me in a soft blanket.
"Thanks." I sniffled and she sat next to me. 
"You okay?" She rested her hand on my back.
I nodded and rested my head on her shoulder.
"She's my best friend." I said.
"I know." She hugged me and rested her chin on my head.

Leo

I came up to the roof for a fresh breeze when I was shocked to see Lynn already there.

Lynn

"Needed air?" Leo sat next to me near the ledge of the roof.
"Yeah." I chuckled.

We sat in silence for a few seconds till I started the conversation. "I don't deserve to be with this team."
"What? Why?"
"How can you guys even trust me? You see what my siblings did to the Paladins. What makes you think I won't do that?"
"Well for one, Athena did read your spirit and found a good soul. Two, just because your siblings act one way, doesn't mean you act the same. You're smart, stubborn, kind, strong, beautiful-."
"Beautiful?" I blushed.
His face turned red. "Yeah?"

Leo

We stared at each other and leaned closer. My hand raised and rested on her face. I shut my eyes and kissed her.

Anthony

After hours of sitting alone with Athena I started talking to her even if she can't hear me.

Athena

It was completely silent when my eyes barely even opened. I couldn't move or say anything when I could hear Anthony's voice.
"Athena; I didn't mean what I said. I should've just left you alone. You were so stressed and I knew that. Instead of handling the situation I made it worse. None of the things I said about you were true. I just thought about my own flaws and pinned them onto you. I know that you won't forgive me and I don't expect you to. I'm thinking about getting a new job; you probably don't want me working with you anymore. Once you wake up I'll let you decide. It's gonna hurt not seeing you everyday but, I want you to be happy. I care about you in more than just a friendly way. I love you but I can't show it since your technically my boss. You probably don't even feel the same way so what's the whole point. I was so stupid. You gained trust in someone which is hard for you and I broke that. I ruined our friendship..."His words grew foggy when my eyes shut and I went unconscious.
