Athena

Visting Day//s3

Aphrodite

"Why can't I drive?!" Leo pouted in the seat behind me with Apollo sitting in the passenger seat and Anthony and Chris with Leo.
"Because." I replied and left it at that.
"How long till then?" Anthony said.
Apollo checked the gps on the dashboard "20 minutes."
Chris groaned in defeat.
"Wha-" I said looking back at them through my rear view mirror. "That's not long."
"We've been in the car for hours." He said.
"You staying in a space lion for months without breaks." Anthony said "We all did."
"I mean I get to walk around." Chris said.
"He's got a point." Leo said.

Lynn

I prepared tea for everyone before we started training.
"I think we should hold off training again." Jo said.
"Why?" I said setting down a cup in front of Willow and Athena.
Willow socked me in the arm, signaling that she didn't want to train. "Ow!"
Athena chuckled silently.
Out of shock; a car horn could be heard from outside.
We all looked at the front door of the minka and Willow's ears perked up.
"They're here." Mr. Chris and Willow said.
"Who?" The rest of us said in confusion when Mr. Chris made his way to the back.
"Isn't the car horn coming from the front-?" Athena looked back at us.

Athena

Lynn opened the door for me and Willow to see Papa Chris letting Chris, Anthony, Apollo, Aphrodite and, Leo get past the gate.
We all sprinted to them without hesitation and fell into their arms.

I sobbed silently when I hugged my siblings first.

I love Anthony but they're my siblings. My family goes first.
I pulled back and hugged Anthony tighter than ever.

Anthony

I could sense the relief from her. She really was having it rough.

After our grouped toured the place we had lunch but, Athena snuck out to the back with her plate.

I followed her with my food and slid the door opened to see her practicing her powers with her full pate in her jacket on the porch of the minka.
I silently sat down by the edge and watched her move gracefully.

It was so calming but so powerful. I've seen her in battle and her moves aren't this smooth. It's probably just for practice.

She had her eyes shut and reached one hand out to her side. She then waved it around smoothly and created a circle around her just like Iris.

Iris has different powers than the rest of us. Her grandmother was an experiment so she had gone through different things for testing.

Roots from the ground slowly grew from the ground. She hand her palms down ahead of her when she expanded her wings. They were different.
Brighter yet a darker shade of red looked like actual wings and not something that can only show up when using her powers.
She struggled to keep her powers on and powered off in defeat.
When she opened her eyes she was startled to see me. "Quiznack!" She yelped.
"Sorry." I said nervously.
She sighed and sat next to me. "It's fine. Still trying to get used to my powers." She set her bowl of food in her lap.

It was silent for a few seconds before I brought up Willow's concern after finally noticing Athena making sure that her jacket covered her bandaged wrists with small bits of soaked in blood. " You know, Willow told me about the nightmares."

Apollo

"They're talking about her nightmares." I said sitting with everyone in the main room, using my powers to listen to Anthony and Athena talking. I felt a hard smack at the back of my head and looked at Aphrodite sitting next to me. "Ow! What the hell was that for?!"
"Don't eavesdrop." She said.
I powered down and snarled at her with my fangs: she reflected my actions to me.

Anthony

"Yeah..." She said with a soft tone.
"What happed to your wrists?"
"I don't wanna talk about it." She replied and stopped eating.
"Athena please. I care. If you need help I need to know what's going on."
"You can't help me." She said. "No one can." She stood up and entered back into the Japanese designed house.

Leo

"So you guys are staying for the night?" Ms. Jo asked after Lynn and Willow talked about training and testing when the door slid opened and Athena walked to the girl's room with her plate of food.
We all went silent, staring at each other then to Anthony when he slowly walled in seconds after Athena. "She won't talk." He said.

"Just let her cool down." Apollo said. "I'll take care of it."

Apollo

It was past midnight when I was looking for Athena.
I flew to the roof to look over but saw her sitting alone instead.
"Athena?" I said softly standing behind her.
"Go away, Apollo." She said.
"I missed 12 years of your life." I sat next to her. "I don't want to loose you again."
"I..." Athena hesitated. "I keep having this voice tell me horrible things. It's my own voice 'They don't care; They use you for their own benefit. If you hurt yourself they won't care.' I know it's true but I'm too the point of breaking. I actually already did."
"Did what?"
She pulled her jacket sleeves up and showed me her bandages. I gasped silently "I can heal it-."
"No." She said. "It's not fresh." I sighed. "I just feel horrible for being the reason why you guys suffer."
"We don't suffer, Athena." I said. "If anything we're better because of you."
She didn't reply but began to sob silently. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and hugged her to my chest. "It's okay." I said.
