Paris: Book 1 (Nightwing X OC X Red Hood)

Chapter 9

Jason constantly called Paris. He was pacing back and forth in her room. The way Dick acted around her, it was like he was in love with her just as much as Jason himself. But Paris never kissed him, nor slept with him. Not that he knows of, at least.

It's couple of minutes past four, and she's still not here. Jason was playing with his phone and activated her tracker. It had beeped. He looked around the room, not under the bed. Not  yet her desk, not tucked away anywhere.  He looked outside and heard the beeping grow louder.

He climbed up the balcony and sighed. While in the rain, Paris was asleep. Her hair ,and suit sticking to her body. She felt shivers down her skin.

"P, this isn't funny. Let's get you inside. "  Before Jason could move closer, lightning struck. Blinding him briefly. As Jason lowered his hands,  he saw that she was gone.

"What....the hell?" Jason looked up at the sky and behind those dark clouds. He had seen was an older guy with long white hair and a matching white beard.

In his arms, was Paris.  she wasn't wearing her jacket,nor was she wearing her shoes. Jason had pulled out his pistols and fired away. Chasing after her. His Queen.  His lady and angel. The woman he'd go on mad killing sprees for.

"Paris!" He called out. But nothing happened. She twitched once, and slowly woke up. He kept firing until Jason had felt arms holding him back.

"You won't make it to her, Jason. " Diana says while placing her hand on his shoulder.  "She's not in peril, this is for her protection . She will come back to you. "

"Then let me help protect her. " Jason explained.  "I know she's stronger than me, but I just want to make her feel safe."

"As of now,Zeus has her. He wants to make amends with his daughter, before sending her back. He has some explaining to do about her parenthood. "

"I guess I can't see her." Jason sounded depressed.  "No humans allowed on the mountain ."

"Do not give up hope,Jason. " Diana places her hands on his shoulder.  "I will find Paris and give her your concerns."

"Tell her 'I'm sorry ' ." She nods while flying off.

Paris had awaken to a beautiful room  with a lot of windows and a small tub of water just steps away from her. She wore none of her normal clothes. Only a long gown and golden jewlery. Her long hair was braided into a long tail.

She had stood up and walked towards the sun light.  Her mind going to Jason and his betrayal. He probably doesn't miss her at all.

"Lady Athene. " She turned her head towards a man with golden hair and bright golden eyes.  "My lord Zeus wishes to see you. "

"I rather not." She refused.  "I have to see-"

She paused.  Her hands shaking.  What was she to call Jason after that night? A lover? Her ally?

"You will see your friend,after you have spoken to your father. He wishes to see you as soon as you have awoken."

Paris had stood on her feet and walked towards the man. "Let's go. "

"I assume you must be my 'father' ,"  Paris called out while walking towards the large throne. Her hands on her hips. "Nice of you to finally give a fuck after missing out on all 25 years of my life."

Zeus had stared at his daughter, taking a deep breath as he sees  a challenge before him. He had noticed her eyes were a different color. From green to gold. Showing that she was truly his daughter.

"Athene,such language isn't respectful to the gods," the man spoke from behind her. "Nor is it to your father."

"Respect?" She spat. "Why should I respect you? You and mother left me on the streets! In a trash can to be exact! I was raped when I was 10, and where was my father then? Too busy caring about Diana to worry about little 'Athene' . I was starving day and night, couldn't find a meal nor even a bread crumb to hold me over for the night. But Dad and his precious amazon princess was out doing who knows what!"

"It was not my intention to leave you alone for so long . I tried to find ways to watch over you, and help you." Zeus stands up and walks down to his get a better look at his daughter. Her skin was darker than his, but her eyes belonged to him. Her personality and strength came from him. She was witty and resourceful.

"I've came to see you, and now I can go home to Gotham. " She turns her back and walks away,only to be blocked off by a number of men, one of them being larger than normal.

"I'm afraid you cannot leave, Athene. " The man says, Paris rolls her eyes before turning back to her father.

"A test of strength?" She asks. Zeus shrugs his shoulders . Paris's arm glows purple, while the larger man had taken up his sword.

"I , King Demacles, will honor the gods and restraint the princess Athene. " Paris was annoyed, she  had blocked the man's punch before driving her elbow against his jaw. Shattering his bone completely, Demacles had staggered back and snarled. Paris was faster and stronger than himself and any of his men. She can kill them all, and if he stood in their way anymore ; she will.

"I care less about your honor to the gods,  just stand out of my way." She threatens.

"I like this one." She turned around to see a woman will long sunshine blonde locks curled down her back. Her dress was black, and her jewlery was her only touch of color. "I see why my lord,Hades had kept you alive for so long, bastard daughter of Zeus."

"Persephone, you will go no farther towards this woman."Juno called out.  Her voice boomed, while she rose on her feet. "Neither your lord."

"Why?" Pershepone slid closer. "Neither you nor your husband cared for the poor girl. You left her in the streets, broke her hope, turned her into a criminal."

"We gave her life!" Juno snapped.

"You brought her through Hell. How she survived was through her uncle,Hades. That's how she's gotten strong, the enemies she's faced were her challenges and each time she has bested them. No thanks to Zeus, but it was Hades who helped her."

Pershepone had turned to Paris. "I am sorry you have went through so much tragedy in your life time, but great rewards have came to you, and you have grown into a beautiful young woman."

Paris looked down, before staring at Persephone into her eyes. When she was a little girl, she had remembered an elder woman .Her cane was made from broken wood. Her wrinkles were like a a bumpy road on a hillside.

"You were the elder woman with the cat and can. The one who raised me." Paris said, Pershepone nods.

"While I had my one moment to be free of Hades, I was visiting Gotham. I wanted to in sync with this world, and found a beautiful little girl.  She was 12,and her eyes showed me the harsh dangers of the world. I had tried my best to watch over you; give you gifts,until you had met Selina Kyle. She took you in on my request and helped you grow. "

Paris had hugged Persephone,her eyes streaming with tears. "I owe you so much more than I can give. "

"You being alive is all that you owe ,my dear. Let us get you home." She whispers. Paris had passed out randomly,her body had disappeared.

"She is free." Zeus mumbles.
