Love, hope, despair. I'm sure everyone wanted love in life right? Though..it was so cunning, so secretive you wouldn't know the lies people would be telling you..

"How..?!" Hercules was shook. The one beast he thought he would never see again was climbing out of the ground. I laughed hysterically "well  why don't you ask him?" I shrugged. Hera was visibly anxious.. she either knew she would fail or it was because even though I was in immense pain, I was able to summon Cerberus..

"Hey y/n?" Wild card called out from behind me. I spun around looking at him with a tilted head. "I...I can't see you?" He blinked rapidly looking around. "I can't see!" His breathing started to race. "What did you do!?" I demanded answers from Hera.

"If I can't hurt you, I'll hurt the people you care about." She snorted. I gritted my teeth sitting Wild card down with Hercules. "Don't worry y/n I got this." Hercules ran and leaped into the air. Being honest, he was a good fighter and I'm sure he would be a great help to defeating Hera-

SLASH

The colour red stained the lively grass as a thud connected with the ground.

"AHHHH" I hugged myself as I saw the now corpse of Hercules just trying to cling onto life. I skidded over to where he lied. "NO, NO" I yelled. "Y-You'll be ok!" Hercules moved his arm on my face and whispered.. "I love you y/n.."

"Dad.." I cried. "I'm sorry!, don't leave me PLEASE!"

"DAD!!"

"Y/n? What's happening?" Wildcard was still blind, still clueless of what was going on.. "Hera slayed my father..." Cerberus had a weird aura float away dragging his life force back inside me. Guess I couldn't hold on for long..

"Now it's fair." Hera smiled. Wild card quickly grabbed my arm looking at me worried. "Y/n we have to go. We can't win." I looked at him with teary eyes turning away to take one last look at my mother before we ran into the building. As we got inside I fell on the floor gripping myself tightly. Everyone ran towards me kneeling at my side. "What happened?" Wheels asked me hugging me.

"What's going on?"

"Y/n you ok?

"What is it?"

"Guys stop.." wild card pushed everyone away apart from Wheels as he was still comforting me however I understand the others tried but..I wasn't feeling it..

Hera popped into the building laughing. "My dearest y/n, I apologise for killing your father but you know.. adult things you wouldn't understand." She giggled. I couldn't even talk. My chest felt tight, heavy almost. It felt like the air was drifting out of my lungs, choking me, efficiently..

"Stay away from us.. please! We're kids for gods sake!" Missy yelled. She stepped in front of us all "you are a mother who just hurt your own blood!" She scoffed shaking her head "how great of a mother you are.." Here's eyes widened.. did she feel bad? Hera suddenly snapped her hands and dissolved like mist..

"I'm..gonna take her home alright?" Wild card satrtes carrying me home.

"Wait-" Wheels was cut off when Wild card teleported somewhere.

We were at his house? Huh.. he carried me to his room and tucked me in kissing my forehead. He then crawled on the hard, cold floor. Oh no-

"Hey.. come up here. I don't want to be lonely right now.." I said covering my face. God I'm still embarrassed to talk to him like this.. i guess we should have normal lives.. but we don't..

He quickly got into the bed and faced the other way.. it was awkward.. really awkward.. "hey um.."

"Yeah?" I said.

"Do.. do you mind if I hold your hand?"

I chuckled before grabbing his warm hand. "Sure." I smiled to myself. "Goodnight love" he said.

"Goodnight.. I love you.." I said before hearing a small snore.. how lovely..

The morning came shortly after I closed my eyes. 6 AM it was. I got up yawning and stretching before getting ready and leaving his house. I know it was rude but I needed to bury my dad. I got to where his body was. Though it was already buried?.. no one else was awake at this time.. it couldn't have been. I shrugged my shoulders placing some lilac and Rose's down. The soil was newly placed to.. I stood up and started talking.

"So I don't really know what happened to us but erm.. I just wanna say.." I paused before sniffing. "I just want to say sorry. I'm so so sorry" my voice cracked a few times before I could properly speak again. "I didn't mean for this to happen.. I'm sorry and I want you to know that I was a stupid bratty kid that should have listened to their parent! Dad I am so so sorry! Please come back.. I miss you. I'll always need you.. forever and always.." I looked down at his grave "i thought you were a demigod! What happened to being immortal god dammit! You selfish bastard.. you forgot me.." I then bent down and patted the soil before leaving wiping my eyes... God I need some coffee in my system.

I walked to a coffee shop a few blocks away from the headquarters. I sat down looking at my phone. 7:48.. wild card is soon gonna wake up and think something happened to me.

"Hello?" A young man said to me. I turned to him. "Oh..sorry um just a coffee please" I smiled. He nodded. A few minutes later he came back with my coffee. "Thanks.." I looked at his name tag "Ori...?" He chuckled a little. "Yeahh.. my dad tried to give me a name that sounds like him.." I nodded.

"Who is your dad if you dont mind me asking..?" He thought for a moment before speaking again. "I don't think you'd believe me.." he winked. "I'm pretty sure I would." I said feeling a little creeped out. "Oh gosh sorry, I shouldn't have winked! I'm not a pedo I swear I'm 16!" He quickly said. I chuckled slightly

"alright Ori It's ok" I laughed. God I needed that.. especially after all that's happened. My bones still ache..

"How about I pay for your coffee next time you come in here ok?" He asked. I nodded. "I better go I have someone I need to see" I opened the door and waved goodbye before going back to Wildcard card.

"I wonder who he is.."
