Pluto came in and saw Nico passed out on the bed and Jason was holding his pale boney hand. Pluto coughed softly to show he was here and informed, "I need to get him stitched up."

Jason nodded, and then let go of Nico's hand, brushed past Pluto and sighed, "I'm going up stairs, is that all right?"

Pluto nodded and said, "My friend, Mars is up there. Tell him it's all right for you to go outside too."

Jason nodded, and followed the hall upstairs and was met by a tall; muscular guy. But there was something wrong with his image; his eyes were blood-shot from crying.

Jason moved aside and connected that must have been Mars, but why had he been crying?

Too stressed to care, Jason called his parents as he walked outside the bar; his mother picked up, "Hey honey, what's up?"

"Hey mom, I'm with Mr. Pluto at his store. He needs some help, so I won't be home until later."

"Oh, ok honey. Thal his wondering where her jeans are," Mrs. Grace said.

Jason gave a choked laugh and said, "Nope, I wouldn't have an idea where they would be."

"Well...be safe," Mrs. Grace's voice smiled, "Love you."

"Love you too mom, bye."

Jason had cleaned up the whole bar when a man walked in, blood soaking through everything.

"Mars?" Jason asked in surprise, this dude looked almost exactly like him. "Ares," the person correct, he walked in and sat down on the bar stool, wincing in pain.

"Hey, do you want me to go get Pluto or Mars?" Jason asked, keeping a wary eye on where the blood was going; he would have to pick up later. Last thing Pluto needed was blood on the floor.

Ares nodded, "Yea, my brother thinks I'm dead. Tell him to bring up some wine, stitches, and bandages."

Jason nodded and was going to go downstairs when Ares called, "And get Pluto too."

"He might be a bit busy, but I'll see what I can do," Jason shrugged, going down to the cellar.

"Mars?" he called. The big man stepped out of the storage room, raising an eyebrow. Even though Jason and him had only known each other for an hour. Jason learned, while cleaning with Mars, that he was a really short tempered-softy-teddy bear. Mars loved puppies and kittens, and once Jason caught a glimpse of Mars's background on his phone of kittens and puppies playing. But when Jason had dropped a glass, Mars got really red in the face and had stomped out of the room, shouting how much of clutz Jason was.

"Your brother, he's here-" Jason dodged the burly figure and shouted,

"Hey! Wait!" Mars turned.

Jason explained quickly, Mars was in a hurry, "Ares needs some bandages, stitches, and wine. And I need to go get Pluto."

Mars went back to the storage room and then with the things he needed rushed upstairs.

Jason knocked on the door to Nico's room, and opened the door. And blinked at what he saw. Nico was sitting up; shirt off. Bandages wrapping all around from his back and chest, and his wrists. But what upset Jason was the fact he could see all of Nico's ribs.
