The Encounter At Statue of Athena

Following the phone hanging up, Prometheus got a text from Wolf.

"Come to the Statue of Athena and wait there. Be there tomorrow by 9 AM," the text read.

This was perfect for Prometheus, he lived in the city of Athens. It was both lucky and unlucky for him, lucky because the statue of Athena was only a few blocks away from his home. Unlucky because his older sister Athena brags to him about being named after the city.

Throughout the rest of the day, Prometheus stayed holed up in his room. He had sold off the rest of Jake's supplies he didn't use or touch. The only thing he had left was his weight, in which he continued to use as a way to increase his soldier skill. He trained for a bit, but was unable to level it up before dinner time came.

At dinner time, he and his mom stayed silent about the encounter with Dr. Blythe. It was business as usual, Prometheus' siblings told about their adventures at the summer camp, how excited they were to go back. Heracles wasn't home so the dinner was pretty dry until...

"Prometheus, how was New America?" Nyx, Prometheus older twin sister asked. He choked on his food, coughing he managed to think up of a lie, "It was okay, went to the beach and all," he then drank some water to clear his throat.

"I'm honestly surprised they didn't call back the students," Eunomia, the third oldest out of the Morgan family said. "It isn't smart to just let a trip continue after a terrorist attack. Once I get level 30..." she says.

"You'll change everything," the family mockingly say simultaneously.

"When are you going to bring that girlfriend of yours over," Nyx says a few seconds after Eunomia's mocking. "I know you two did it over the trip."

"Nyx! There are children here," their father, Cronus, interjected.

"Sorry dad."

"Besides, if Prometheus wanted us to meet his girlfriend, then we will wait for the two to be comfortable," Morgana says getting up from the dinner table to clean up her own plate.

"Yeah," Prometheus said dropping his spoon and fork on his plate.

He put his head down, staying silent as he got up from his spot on the table and headed upstairs. "You haven't finished your dinner. Come back Prometheus!" Cronus sternly shouts as Prometheus ignored his call. "I'm not hungry anymore!"

Prometheus continued his steady sprint back to his room, once he got to his room he softly closed the door, tears streaming from his eyes.

At the dinner table, his family was silent, nothing like that has happened before. No one has ever tried to yell back at their father.

"Did they break up? Maybe they are just taking a break." his family thought, his family had thought wrong.

By the time Prometheus woke up the next day, it was only 6 AM. It gave him a perfect amount of time to prepare himself, cleaning up, checking forums, get him back to his original schedule. By 8 he was prepared to leave, he kept Jake's phone in his pocket as he began leaving.

"Mom, I'm going to Dr. Blythe's job offer," he said as he passed the kitchen going to his front door.

"Did you eat breakfast?"

Prometheus stopped in his tracks, he walked back to the kitchen to go eat breakfast. He had eggs and bacon that was cooked to a crisp. A proper breakfast from the ration like food he had to eat on the boat for 4 days.

After finishing his breakfast, Prometheus once again began walking to the front door. "I'm heading out mom."

"Honey! Come back!"

Prometheus sighed, walking back to the kitchen, "What mom." With a smile on her face she handed him a brown bag, on it a sticker of a pink glittering cat was on it. "I made you lunch. It's a secret for what's inside, so you better only open it when it's lunch time," she said winking.

"Mom, this is Nyx's lunch bag, all of her's has the pink cat sticker."

"Well these were the only one's left, I haven't gone shopping at all."

Prometheus, with pure disgust in his face, grabbed the lunch bag and started walking toward his front door once again.

Once at his front door, his mom calls for him once more, "Prometheus!"

"What," he reluctantly calls back.

"Have a good day!"

He smiled opening his front door, "You too."

The time was 8:42 when he left, Prometheus made a dash for the Athena statue. Running as fast as he thought he could, he felt as though he could go faster, but he didn't want to test his speed in such a crowded area like the street he was running on. It was filled with homeless people, bystanders, and cars. 'I don't know how fast I can go, what if I cause damage?'

It only took him 8 minutes to reach the Athena statue. There he waited for 10 minutes, listening and watching many tourists take pictures of the statue, religious men preach, and he even took notice of a cute female who seemed like she was lost. She looked like a foreigner which made Prometheus worry, 'Some random guys could assault her. I should help her out,' he thought as he walked toward the girl.

'That's weird, why am I about to go help her out. There are so many other girls, what makes her so special. What made her stand out so much?'

"Hey," Prometheus said walking up to her. "You seem lost, do you need help?"

The cute girl looked up at Prometheus who towered over her, 'She looks young, at least 14 years old,' Prometheus thought. 'But her eyes look so dead. I guess everyone is depressed nowadays,'

"Is your name Prometheus," the girl says with a timid voice.

"How do you-" the girl rushes up to Prometheus kissing him. She then puts her arms around his neck, resting her wrists on his shoulders, she attempted to look cute by tilting her head and smiling, but her dead eyes contrasted her whole cute look.

Blushing Prometheus stutters, "What in the world,"

"Shut up, we could be getting watched by the government," she says looking around her. After looking around for a couple seconds she stares at Prometheus, who became more flustered. "I'm taking you back to our base. Sorry in advanced."

"Sorry for what?" Prometheus' vision became blurred, the statue around him, the tourists, the preachers, then the girl, everything disappeared from his vision.

Whenever he came to, his head was hurting, and even though he had his eyes opened he only saw darkness.
