ATHENA'S POV

It's been three days since you saw Y/N, he hasn't come out of his room but you still leave food for him at his door. Yelena has come and visited you a few times, she's downstairs at the dining room table when you hear a knock on the front door. You hurry downstairs to open the door, it's Wanda, she has come to try to see Y/N every day. He won't even open the door for her though, she just goes and talks to the door hoping he can hear her. You let her in and she goes upstairs to do just that, you go into the kitchen where Yelena is.

"He won't even come out for her, I think he blames himself." You say as you start to wash some dishes.

"I mean that's fair," Yelena responds.

"What do you mean? Do you think her death is his fault?"

"Not directly his fault but he brought this evil into our lives, ever since he became a god he..." You cut her off.

"Do you know how hard it is to be a god? It's not just cool powers and a throne, being a god means having to make the hard choices for all of humanity. He didn't even get a choice in this matter, he did get to choose where she rested and he chose correctly." You notice yourself getting more mad.

"He chose to steal her body and return with nothing, I lost my best friend and now my other one is locked in his room not talking to anyone. Every bad thing that has happened is because of the gods." She states.

"So she's dead because of me?"

"That's not what I said."

"But it's what you meant... I think you should leave." You close yourself off after you say this, and she storms out.

"Wanda, you need to leave now." You shout up the stairs, surprisingly she listens following Yelena out of the house. Eros pops out of nowhere.

"You didn't have to do that you know?" He says with some newfound moral high ground.

"Since when did you care about mortals?"

"I don't, however, you do. Don't ruin your chances at love because your ego got damaged. She's not wrong, a lot of the horrors and tragedy the mortals face is because of the gods."

"Who says I love her."

"Oh come on Athena! You never let someone sleep in your bed even if you are fucking them!"

"How did you know that she slept in my bed?" You ask feeling like your privacy has been invaded.

"God of love remember?" You scoff.

"I should go check on him." You say trying to avoid this conversation.

"No, I will. You go and fix what you damaged with that mortal." He waves his hands shooing you away.

You leave the house looking for Yelena, you spot her at the shore of the beach.

"Hey..." You say as you approach her.

"What do you want?" She says with an aggressive tone.

"I'm sorry, I just hate when people blame the wrongdoings of another god on me. Y/N doesn't deserve that either."

"I know... I just need someone to blame."

"Then blame me, not him. We need him to win this war against the god who controls all gods."

"Zeus?" She replies.

"Yea, his mom tried to stop him but it didn't work. She was like my mom, my real one was too disgusted by me to even give me love. Zeus is my dad, he raped my mom and she was forced to have me so anytime she looked at me she was reminded of the worst thing that happened to her. Nemesis found out and wanted to give Zeus the proper punishment, but he must have found out because next thing we know she's killing innocent mortals in a body we had never seen."

"You didn't know about Y/N?"

"We kind of did, we knew Nemesis had a kid with a mortal and that they were missing. She looked for them forever and then one day she found them, sadly it wasn't in the circumstances it should have been. She never would have hurt an innocent mortal so that's when I and Hades knew something was up. He is our only hope at freedom, and right now he's locked in his room grieving."

"I didn't know."

"You couldn't have." You say.

"Okay, I'll go get him."

"What? How?"

"I've done it before, he might not like it though." You follow her as she heads back to the guest house. She storms up the stairs determined, Wanda joins you in following her. She gets to his door and skips the knocking to go straight to knocking his door down.

"GET YOUR ASS UP!" She yells at him.

"Dude what the fuck! Stop breaking my doors!" He responds.

"Then stop isolating yourself from the people that love you dumbass! I lost my best friend and I feel like I'm losing my other one." She starts to cry, he gets up out of bed and hugs her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." She breaks from the hug to slap him in the face.

"OW!" He exclaims, she grabs him by the ear dragging him out of his room. You turn to Wanda.

"Is it just me or was that really hot?" Wanda looks at you weirdly and follows Yelena and Y/N. Yelena drags him into the bathroom, even though he had one in his room she decides to use the larger one. She runs the shower and pushes him in, his clothes get drenched.

"Clean yourself up and when you are done get your ass to the meeting room, we need a plan!" She storms out of the house leaving him and Wanda in the bathroom.

Y/N'S POV

The water hits your back, the wet clothes stick to your skin. You sit down in the shower and Wanda closes the door to give you two privacy. She helps you remove your clothes, grabs the shampoo, and starts to wash your hair. She's eerily silent, you can tell she's holding back tears. She finishes washing you and grabs a towel wrapping it around you, she leaves you in the bathroom as she cleans your room in one hand movement. When she returns she has new clothes for you, you change and join her to go to the meeting room. She still hasn't said a word, this worries you.

"Hey, are we okay?" You say before you enter the building.

"Yea, I was just worried." She says in a soft tone, she continues walking and you softly grab her wrist. You turn her to you and touch her forehead with yours. You kiss her forehead lightly and then continue to head into the building, you can tell she's blushing. You both enter the meeting room sitting next to each other, Athena and Tony stand at the front. For the next hour, you hear the various plans they both made. Once they finish you notice Wanda is practically asleep on your shoulder, you are scared to move and wake her so everyone else leaves and you and she are left alone. You pick her up softly to bring her to her room, she is half awake the whole way there. You unlock her door and bring her into the bedroom, you take off her shoes and socks. You get her under the covers and tuck her in, she falls asleep instantly. You leave her alone in her room as you walk around her apartment, you notice a journal. You weren't going to look but it was already open on the latest entry.

"I don't know what I did wrong, he's shutting me out again. Every time I feel like me and him are in a good spot something horrible happens causing a divide in us. Just four days ago we were having sex and now he won't even talk to me. I understand he lost a friend but why doesn't he care if he loses me? Maybe I'm overthinking but I don't want to lose him, not like I've lost everyone else I've loved."

A teardrop falls onto the page, you try to wipe it but stop yourself knowing it will smudge the ink. You never knew this was how she felt when you shut her out, you loved her but never truly understood how to show it. You look back at her sleeping in her bed, you walk over to the bed getting in with her. You remember the first time you slept in this bed, how you were curled into a ball scared of everything and now you were a god. No matter what she was always there, even if you didn't feel it. This journey was going to hurt a lot of people but you were going to make sure no matter what that she wouldn't be hurt in the process.
