Troubled Olympians

Confusions

Artemis woke up to the ambient sounds of music coming from the wall she was leaning against. Artemis groaned, her memory was gone for a minute or so, she had no idea where she was, let alone how. Artemis got up, wobbling on her heels. Was she...outside a bar? How did she even get there? Then it hit her. Nico di Angelo. He must've taken her here! Got her drunk and let her collapse in an alley way. She should've known. Nothing good comes from men, let alone Hades kin. Artemis groaned, the morning sun nearly blinded her eyes. How long was she asleep? The others must be worried, she hadn't returned home. Artemis wobbled home, angry, hungry, and a little hurt.

When she arrived at the doorstep, Zeus opened up the door and gasped a bit.

"Artemis...what happened?" Zeus asked, filled with concern. Artemis had to stop herself from snorting. Her father was actually showing her love. Well, that's a first.

"I don't remember much. I woke up in an alley way near a bar...dressed so...revealing. I don't know what Nico did, but I know that it's his doing." Artemis informed him, and invited herself inside, she wobbled into the lounge where the rest of the Olympians were getting ready for school. All eyes turned to her. She must've looked like a hot mess because there were a few gasps. She sat down beside Poseidon and threw off her heels.

"Artemis...what happened?" Poseidon asked.

"I really have no idea." She confessed.

"Were you...drunk?" Athena asked.

"Probably, I don't understand why did Nico leave me there? Why did he even take me there in the first place? He said we were going to an arcade..." Artemis trailed off, trying to remember last night's events.

"We'll figure out what happened later. For now, let's get you ready for school." Athena said, and motioned for Artemis to get up and led her to her room and helped her get dressed.

"Artemis would never get drunk though, she'd never accept a drink." Zeus said.

"That's true. Do you think Nico forced her or something? And then...forced himself on her?" Poseidon suggested.

"Woah! Now hold on, we don't even know what happened! Or how she even got there! Don't go blaming Nico! He's not a horny teenager, unlike Percy and Thalia." Hades protested.

"Thalia is a huntress! She's not horny!" Zeus stated.

"Who knows? She's your daughter." Hades pointed out.

"Perhaps Nico didn't force himself on Artemis, but if she was knocked out in an alley wearing such clothing...surely, somebody else must've forced themselves on her." Hera suggested.

"My daughter...her virginity...gone?" Zeus choked out, even the thought made him feel sick.

"I am not saying it's for sure, but it's a possibility." Hera clarified.

"Apollo, you're awfully quiet." Hermes said to the sun god, who felt a strong sickness of guilt and worry.

"Uh, yeah. I'm just...upset." Apollo said, although being the god of honesty he wasn't very convincing.

Aphrodite just shrugged; she couldn't care less about that eternal maiden. She was getting in the way of a good couple (as usual), and now she was out of the picture. If she lost her virginity, good for her! About damn time anyways. Aphrodite could now pair the couple in peace. While the others were discussing what might've happened, Apollo leaned in and whispered,

"What have we done? This is worse than her going on a date with Nico!" he hissed.

"Oh please, if she lost her virginity, good for her. Who cares, she's such a party pooper anyways." Aphrodite whispered back.

"That's it, I'm telling everyone." Apollo hissed angrily.

"Tell them what? That you helped me sabotage the relationship and possibly caused Artemis to lose her maidenhood? Good luck with that, she'll never talk to you again for the rest of eternity." Aphrodite whispered.

Apollo resisted the urge to smack the love goddess in the head. All she cared about was her stupid couples and love dramas! Apollo did this in hopes Artemis and Nico would end, but now he just caused a bigger problem. All he could do is watch his sister in pain, while Aphrodite laughs and flips her hair like a Barbie doll.

-Troubled Olympians-

"So, how did it go?" Percy asked Nico as they walked to school that Tuesday morning.

"She went to the bathroom and never came back, after an hour I asked someone to check on her, but she wasn't there." Nico sighed.

"Man, that seriously sucks. Sorry about that." Percy said.

"She was the only girl who didn't seem disgusted by me...I guess I was wrong." Nico muttered.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that..." Percy smirked at Nico, who gave him a confused look, but before he could say anything a shadow loomed over them. They looked up to see Hermes (Luke Skywalker), who was glaring angrily at Nico.

"How dare you!" Hermes spat at Nico.

"How dare I what?" Nico asked.

"You took Luna to a club and left her in an alley way? She could've been hurt, or gotten raped, or killed!" Hermes snarled at Nico, Percy gave Nico a confused look, as if he was saying 'That's some arcade there dude.'

"Wait, I took her to an arcade, she ditched me." Nico said, which caused Hermes to give him a confused look.

"She came home this morning looking like a mess, she said she woke up in some alley way near a bar." Hermes explained to the two boys.

"I had nothing to do with it, I swear." Nico said. Yet Hermes looked unconvinced.

"Hey, Drew!" Hermes called behind him, where Apollo was walking and staring at the ground, he looked up and felt his stomach churn at the sight of Hermes and Nico, no doubt confronting him. He ran towards them.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Is he lying?" Hermes asked, nodding towards Nico.

"Wait, how would he know?" Percy asked.

"Uh, he's um, good with body language and stuff." Hermes lied, he couldn't exactly say that he was Apollo, the god of honesty.

"I had nothing to do with whatever happened to Luna last night." Nico said again, this time for Apollo. Being the god of honesty, he cannot lie, and whenever he did Hermes and Artemis would know on the spot, since they knew him so well. Apollo took a deep breath.

"He's not lying." Apollo said, trying to hide the misery in his voice.

Hermes nodded, but still looked confused.

"Alright, so this wasn't Nico's doing, but we've got a bigger problem now. We need to find out who did, do this to Luna." Hermes said, he then turned towards the two boys.

"You two in?" He asked. Both boys nodded.

"I'm sure Annabeth, Thalia, Katie, and the Stolls would also love to help." Percy added.

"Good, the more people we have, the better," Hermes nodded "Right, Drew?"

Apollo forced a smile.

"Right.
