Reese
The team stood outside the one way mirror while Anthony was interrogating Lucas.
"Why the hell is he the one doing it?!" Apollo said with a stressed tone. "We kicked him off the team."
"He's still an Atlas Officer." Nora answered "He's the only one who can do interrogation right now and he's has the authority.""Do you not care about how many lives you took and harmed during the attack?" We heard Anthony talking.
Anthony
Lucas scoffed "I think you know the answer to that." He leaned back in his chair.
"Two of my best friends are dying because of you!" I said in a rage.
"I thought you were the one who wished Athena dead?" Lucas smiled in a sadistic way.
"What?" I said softly and shuddered.
"You really think no one planned that car crash?" He leaned over the table.Chris
We all jumped in our standing areas when Anthony powered up and attacked Lucas.
"Quiznack!" Iris and I rushed in.Anthony
"You bastard!" I held my forearm tightly against his neck, pushing him against the wall. "The love my life is fighting for her life because of you!" Iris pulled me off Lucas and rested her hand on my head.
I eyes dropped and I passed out.Iris
Anthony's sleeping body fell in my arms as Chris escorted Lucas to his cell.
Aphrodite
We all looked at each other realizing the actual cause of the car accident and the attack on Atlas.
Leo
"He only caused the car accident because he knew that it would weaken Athena..." I said softly. "It...wasn't Anthony's fault. The car accident was essentially an assassination attempt."
"Quiznack." Apollo and Aphrodite said under their breath."Willow." Aphrodite said suddenly. Willow replied with silence "I need you to get copies of all footage from this interrogation, the entire wedding, the attack, anything that happened in the past few weeks."
"Got it." Willow said.
"Alice." Aphrodite continued "Interview everyone who was at the wedding. Ask if they saw any members of the Queen family other than Lucy and Lynn." Alice nodded. "We have a confession and all we need is enough evidence to prove he's actually telling the truth."
"What?!" Lucy said. "He just confessed."
"Or he's trying to get to our heads." Leo said. "Aphrodite is right. We still need to get evidence."
Aphrodite nodded stiffly "Everyone just find as much evidence as we can."Chris
Willow and I hung out by ourselves in Athena's hospital room while everyone on the team was finding dirt on the attacks.
I just watched over Athena while Willow was on her laptop looking at camera footage from our wedding, the attack on Atlas and, the interview.
She had her headphones on and her feet up on the edge of Athena's bed.
I stayed completely silent to keep Willow from getting distracted.Athena
My eyes opened when I could see a hospital room ceiling and a oxygen mask on my face.
Willow
I jumped when Chris suddenly jumped out of his chair and leaned over Athena.
I panicked and pulled my headphones off and stood by her side. "Athena?" I said.
She looked at me with her squinting, baggy and, tired eyes. "Can you hear me?"
She groaned softly and quietly. "Go get someone!" I told Chris before he opened the door and hollered at a near by nurse in the hall."I'm here, Athena." I said when I could feel her trying to grab my finger. I held her hand "I'm here."
Anthony
Chris had called me first before notifying the team about Athena.
I sprinted down the hospital halls and bursted in the room.
I froze when I saw Athena sitting up slightly with and oxygen tube in her nose. She looked so tired and it was like she was lifeless. When she saw me, she had no emotions I could read in her face. This isn't the Athena I know.
I understand she hates me but, she's never emotionless.
"Be soft with her." Chris stood ahead of me and whispered. "She's...different."
"What?" I looked at him with confusion.
"I mean look at her." Chris whispered. "We're gonna report it to Reese, Kristen is already trying to see what's going on."
I looked at Athena as Chris stood against the wall.
"Athena?" I sat and pulled the armchair closer to her. She didn't even turn her head to look at me and kept that same still face. "Can you hear me?"
She let out a soft squeak.
I looked back at Chris then Willow, who was sitting on the other side of the room, with worry.
The door loudly opened when the team froze when they saw Athena."Athena?" Aphrodite came forward as I stepped back and let her take my seat.
Apollo
I stood behind Aphrodite trying to hold back my tears.
"Athena?!" Aphrodite sobbed softly and gripped onto Athena's hand. "Please. Talk to me..."
She kept an emotionless look on her face when she let out a soft squeak."She used too much energy." Reese suddenly said.
"What?" Kristen was confused and we all looked back at Reese.
"When you send out waves you slowly loose energy. Sending out one already takes away a majority of one's energy. Athena, during the attack, sent out multiple. She basically has no energy to point we're she's completely paralyzed. All she can do now is make noises. "But...if we get her to sleep well, get some food and water in her, she'll be gaining her strength back slowly. As she progressively gets back to normal, Nora," She looked back at my wife "you're gonna need to help her walk, speak, etc. Yeah, she's gonna be able to do that on her own eventually but, like I said, she's paralyzed. She'll thaw out through resting but, you get my point." Nora nodded.Athena
I was left alone in my hospital room late at night. I tried everything in my power to move but I was just so exhausted.
I was and yelped silently when my hospital room door opened slowly.
"Athena?" Alice whispered.
I let out a soft moan.
"I know you can't really respond or say anything but, I just wanted to come see and talk to you." She sat in the arm chair to the left of my bed."I know we aren't really really close but, without you and Flynn the team hasn't been doing well. I'm just glad that you're awake. The past weeks everyone has been so stressed but you waking up today made it a little easier." She sighed "You and Flynn mean a lot to me. The whole team does. Since I left home, Atlas has been everything to me. I probably sound really stupid but, I just needed to get this off my chest. You are really the only one I can trust when talking about stuff like this. Well Flynn too but, you get the point."
I groaned and tried to move my head to look at her completely.
"I should probably head home before someone finds me here." Alice stood up by the bed. She passed then hugged me tightly "Thank you, for everything, Athena." She whispered before leaving the room.
