A New Order of Chaos

Some Things Never Change

Alpha didn't feel comfortable with the hostile welcome.

Sure, she was expecting something similar from the campers. But, she never expected this.

Theta had shared her thoughts about what she heard saying to the campers and, her concern was justified. Also, the concern of the campers. If she was in her place, she wouldn't fully trust some strangers that come up and simply said 'Hey! You're about to be attack! We're here to save you, but we don't don't what's gonna happen afterwards!'

She definitely wouldn't.

"What should we do, then?" Gamma wondered, sitting by the couch with Beta next to her, his arm resting on the back of Gamma's seat "Charmspeak them into doing what we think is better?"

"Can we consider that the 'Plan B'?" Delta joked, earning a smack from Epsilon "Ouch! Held your arm back, woman!"

"Forcing them into do something will only lead in disaster..." Kappa disagreed, shaking his head "We have to appeal to their rational side..."

"I don't believe appealing to their rational side would make any effect, now that we summoned a group of Cyclops, the entire court of the Amazons and the Hunters" Beta pointed out, not blaming anyone. After all, he was always in charge of the communication and peace between the group.

"Maybe, having them ask their queries and stuff?" Iota proposed, shrugging "Make them feel listened and part of it?"

"Omega?" Alpha turned to her boyfriend, who has been really quiet during the whole talk. He was standing next to the window, watching the campers interact with each other.

"I think we shouldn't had kept the information only with the leaders" he finally spoke, his eyes still watching outside.

"So, you agree with Iota? Held a meeting to explain the whole camp?" Beta checked, earning a nod.

"How are we planning on doing that?" Delta asked, looking around "We separate them cabin by cabin and stay with them, talking?"

"Yes" Alpha couldn't see a better option "It's almost dinner time... We should tell them tomorrow when we start" Everyone nodded and left to eat, leaving Alpha and Omega alone. Omega hadn't move from his position, making Alpha the one who needed to be approach "I've never seen you in so deep thinking..."

"I feel bad of lying to them... Especially, Tyson" Alpha sighed and wrapped her arms around Omega's torso "Would be able to reveal ourselves someday?"

"Yes, we will" she assured him. Because that's what she also wanted to believe "When the gods see we're no threat, when entities that we thought were only memories don't regenerate out of thin air... That day, we are showing ourselves. I promise"

"And, I believe you" he turned to face her. The years they spent inside the Void hadn't change them physically nor mentally. They were just more prepared and ready "Also..."

"What?" Alpha frowned, not sure what he wanted to add.

"I didn't want to tell the rest, because I'm sure there would be mutiny, but... I think we're missing a part of his plan" Omega was serious about this.

"You think he is fooling us" Alpha stated. She knew that when Omega questioned something, it wasn't because he was curious and wanted to know the deepest secrets of someone to have some kind of leverage. When Omega was suspicious about something, it was because something bigger was happening "Yeah, I've been thinking the same"

"Why didn't he help while the war with Gaea? Why Ouranos? What changed?" Omega went back to stare at the window, looking at the kids playing and creating alliances "Ouranos isn't as important?"

"I wish I have the answer to this riddle..." Alpha admitted "All we can do for the moment is play along with him and rebel when the time is right..."

"I was hoping for a different answer..." Omega whispered "But, that you said the same I was thinking only confirms that you're still the smartest of us all" Alpha blushed at the comment, earning a smirk from Omega "I'm glad I hadn't lost the ability of making you blush like a teenager"

"We are teenagers" Alpha confirmed, rolling her eyes "Our minds just... don't"

"Now, I kind of understand what Iota and Nico felt around us... We were almost idiots in comparison!" he chuckled, mostly to break the tension of the situation.

"You were always an idiot-"

"Hey!" Omega complained, but Alpha kissed him shut.

"But, you're my idiot and oblivious" she finished, smirking.

"I won't argue with that" he continued, wrapping his arms around her "C'mon, let's go get something to eat, because I'm starving and I'm in need of my Mom's homemade cookies" Alpha wanted to protest, but Omega stopped her "They brought the gods tables with them. Not gonna ask how, but..."

"I was gonna say that someone will see something suspicious if they see Sally's famous blue cookies in your plate" she recognized, poking his chest "They'll know it's us"

"And, how will they find out is us? Please, oh great Alpha, illuminate me!" he mocked her, earning a slight glare.

"Well, let's start with the fact you're loyal to the core..." she started, getting his full attention "Following that, if people realize you are you, they'll figure out I'm me, because you wouldn't leave me and never betray me-"

"That's absolutely true, never forget it" he cut her, smiling.

"-which would lead them to know our identities" she concluded, smiling slightly "Accept it, Omega... We can be easily identified"

"Part of me is relieved to hear that... That way, I won't feel bad about lying..." he confessed, rubbing his neck under his hood.

"I know, baby. I know..." she leaned her head on his chest before allowing him to pull back her hood. Her long curly blonde fell down and bounced in her back, while her stormy grey eyes stared at her boyfriend's under the hood. She snuck a hand under his hood and touched his hair, in an attempt to calm down both of them "C'mon, let's join the others..."

"You read my mind..." he pulled her hood back up and they both headed outside.
