The Five Demigods

Chapter 93

Matt collapsed to the floor once he hit the ground of his...well, his lair.

His entire body hurt, and the pain was paralyzing. He couldn't move, he couldn't see. He could barely breathe.

He was in Xan's arms on the ground, while T was running to get something from his desk. Matt had made a small supply of the stuff, but almost discarded it because he thought he would need it. T assured him he would, and look who was right.

He took the needle outside of its container and shoved it into Matt's jugular.

The demigods movements seized as heat ran through his body. A scream forced it's way out. A loud one that could only be associated with intense pain.

After several seconds, Matt went limp. Can looked up at T with a look of worry.

"Did it work?" The blond asked, his eyes full of hopeful worry.

T remained silent as he watched. Slowly, the burns on Matt's body began to heal. The wounds were closing, the skin growing and muscles rebuilding.

Minutes later, Matt was healed. With a groan, he slowly picked himself up. The pain in his body was still there, but not to the extreme it was. He could move now.

"Guess that stuff was useful afterall." Matt chuckled. His muscles on his left side were still sore, but he had his range of motion.

T shook his head. "You're lucky. If I'd listened to you, you'd be dead right now."

Matt chuckled. "Well, I'm glad you didn't listen to me then."

Xan slowly stood up. "How did you do that?" He asked. He felt an inkling of danger in his stomach.

Matt and T stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

He didn't like that.

With a nervous smile he stretched his neck. "Could...could ya just tell me what it was?"

T looked at Matt, then shook his head. "Why didn't you tell him?"

"I didnt think he'd be around this long." He groaned. "I mean, I can take care of him if you'd like."

Xan's stomach dropped. Did think he'd be around? Take care of him? Uh, no thanks.

"So, since it seems I'm not wanted around here, why don't I just go..." he slowly backed away with an uncomfortable smile on his face.

"You're not going anywhere, Alexander." T said. His hands were behinn his back and he was walking towards the tall blond.

A devilish smile crept on to T's face. "You're just getting started."

Before the gods left, they did one thing, and that was heal Scott. Since the baby was born, he no longer had the ability to self heal. And the gods thought he'd need his strength, so, physically, his body was back to how it was before he got pregnant.

Kirstie had accidentally discovered a new ability while in the bath the other day. She could heal herself using water,  if she had contact with it, like a bath. So, she was as good as new as well.

It was as if they hadn't conceived, grown, and delivered a child.

Demetri stayed shackled up in the attic with chains that Zeus put on him to keep him contained. This took its toll on Scott.

The Son of Aphrodite could hardly function. He really didn't want to do anything that involved Neryssa, including holding her. He was tired because he couldn't sleep, irritable, and he barely ate. He'd spent a lot of his time holed up, closed away from everybody.
