However, Hera looked angrier with each passing second. The goddess stood up and slammed her hands on the table. Unfortunately, it was the last trigger for the other to go into little space. Yunno fell back onto their butt and stared at her in fear, even shock. Their frame trembled as the goddess glared harshly down at them, threatening to use her real form to kill them. They could see it in her eyes. Apollo jumped slightly from the goddess and the supposed demi-gods reaction. Out of reflex, he went to Yunno. He gently too their arm and tried to help them up, but instead they just broke out into sobbed and tears. 

" Hera!" Athena shouted at the goddess and stood up herself. 

" How DARE such a mortal lie to us!" Hera snarled out at Athena. 

It wasn't long before the entire table was arguing and shouting at each other. All Yunno did was tremble and sobbed loudly, though it couldn't even be heard over the god's yelling. They clung to Apollo and curled up into him. He seemed to understand what was happening to them. He scooped them up carefully and held them close, standing up and rubbing their back. The rubbing helped, but they were still terrified. The god adjusted them in his arms and began to rock them. They cried into his shoulder and held onto him. Though, his anger was slowly growing worse just seeing them like this because of the goddess. Not many really have the patience for a goddess like Hera in all fairness. 

" ENOUGH!" Apollo shouted, running his fingers through their hair as Yunno flinched from his raised voice. It was some sort of apology, they guessed. 

" This is ridiculous, and you're putting them in so much distress!" he shouted at the gods, pressing Yunno's head closer to his shoulder. 

The gods all quieted. Zeus seemed to think for a moment, shoving his wife back into her seat as he went to sit back down. The rest of the gods followed, even though it was clear they all wanted to kill each other now. The table was split into who believed Yunno and who didn't. 

" How about this, Apollo is in charge of the demi-god until we make our decision on whether it is the truth or lies," the god suggested. 

Apollo opened his mouth to protest, only to close it and hold Yunno closer to himself. He had changed his mind so quickly. He rocked the little in his arms, pleased at how their cries slowly resolved into sniffles and hiding in him. He found it cute. 

" Fine, whatever." 

" Don't get the poor kid killed Apollo," Artemis huffed at her twin brother. 

Apollo rolled his eyes at the girl and adjusted Yunno so he didn't drop them. The table all agreed for the demi-god to be under his care. Though, they still had no clue who their godly parent was. Eventually, they would, but for now, they did not. 

" When we have, they'll return to camp half-blood. Got it?" Hera spoke to the sun god harshly. 

The rest of the table agreed, most saying that they could not stay in Olympus since they really didn't earn it. With everything agreed upon, all that was left was to figure out where to house Yunno. Apollo really wanted to just take them to camp half-blood, but the gods said it would be a bad idea given that they could start spreading this information about them being from another world. So, he left the large building to figure out what to do with Yunno. 

Eventually, he came to the conclusion to just have them stay with him. So he walked along the path, getting strange stares as he carried the little one in his arms. He didn't really mind, though he knew he needed to get them into different clothes to help take down the staring. He was thinking about what they could wear when they arrived at the building. It looked large, more like a mansion, but he enjoyed the space. He walked in and carefully set Yunno onto their feet. However, they were quick to cling to his arm. 

" It's okay, you'll stay here with me for now. You'll be safe here, yeah?" he told them happily. 

Yunno gave a small pout, but nodded and clung to his poor arm more. He chuckled and showed them around, even showing them a room they could stay in. Even though he didn't need to sleep, there was a bedroom. Apollo told them that they could use it instead. They didn't really do much with the information besides crawl into the bed and curl up. He watched for a few minutes before realizing that they have literally gone to sleep. He chuckled and left the room, closing the door to allow them to rest peacefully after the very long day they've clearly had.
