Will's PoV:

"I did this earlier with Nico, now I have to do it with you, and then Hazel."

Before I can ask what she's going to do, she answers my question for me by pulling out a notepad and pen. I resist the urge to roll my eyes. She makes asking me questions sound like she's going to perform a surgery.

"Questions?" I ask.

Jenny nods. She has an odd look on her face, like she's nervous and expecting something. It makes me nervous.

"Number one. . ." She bites her lip. "What are your parent's name?" It doesn't sound like that was what she was going to ask me.

"Apollo and Naomi Solace."

Her eyes widen. "Wait, the Apollo and Naomi Solace?"

I suppress a sigh. "Yep."

Jenny writes this down. "Okay. Do you have any siblings?"

I shake my head.

She nods. "Who threw the first punch?"

I furrow my brows. "What?"

"In your fight. With Hades. Who hit who first?"

I fidget with my fingers and close my eyes. Who threw the first punch?

Me.

Opening my eyes, I look at Jenny warily. "Well. . . Me."

Jenny grimaces, and writes this down.

"B-but it was only because. . ." I falter. Because what? Hades yelled at Nico?

"One more question," Jenny says, looking troubled. "When were you born?"

"November 19th, 1999."

Jenny closes her eyes, and when she opens them, I see pure fear.

"W-what?"

"Will, you realize you just turned eighteen three days ago."

"Um. . . Yeah."

She shakes her head. "You're legally an adult."

Wait.

"If Hades decides to, he can take you to court."

No.

"And, Will. . ." Jenny bites her lip.

This isn't happening.

"You can lose, and go to prison. For at least a year."

What have I done?
