Hermes stood and watched calmly as Apollo dispatched the two guards and Pandora easily. Pandora...certainly not THE Pandora? Probably just some mortal amused by the name her parents gave her and went on from there. He really wasn't surprised that Apollo didn't know about Endymion, not after the trick he pulled with Orion...but surely, after Hyacinthus...He shook his head, clearing his mind of those thoughts, of the thoughts of better, happier, less...lonely and uncertain times. He had to pay attention to what was happening at that moment, with this silly mortal, as dull as she was.

Pandora writhed in pain in Apollo's grasp. "...I had to trade....my own son for him......" She was angery, there had never been a day when she was with out control but this man. "And I can't get him back....unless I take Dymion back where I found him."
Endymion blinked. Found where? He pulled free from Apollo and put a hand on his shoulder. "Wait, I want to know. Where did you find me?"
Pandora sucked in a breath. "I didn't find you some old relic hunter found you sealed within some buried ruins...." She began to whimper in pain. "The old lecher wanted to keep you so in order to bring you back to New York, I traded my Son..."

Apollo blinks, actually surprised. He glances to Endymion before looking back to Pandora. His grasp loosens some to the point where it is bareable, but still tight enough to hold her. He comments in a smooth voice, "Your own son?... That's... Well, I can't comment on your morality, but.... Whatever amount of money you need to buy back your son, I'll pay it to you.... People should never be used for trading purposes... No, just name an amount, but I won't let you have Endymion back..." He smiles amiably, despite all the surroundings of violence. He grimaces slightly, glancing to his own bleeding arm, "You know it really wasn't worth all this trouble, you could have simply asked for money in the first place..." He rolls his violet eyes.

Hermes looked at the woman in disbeliefe. "She's lying," he said, with narrowed eyes, "The story doesn't add up," he walked around to look at her more closely, "Why would you give up your son for some boy you didn't know? And were you the sort of person to sell your own son for fortunes, why would you be trying to get your son back anyway? And if not, why would you keep Endymion here as a worker rather than just explaining the situation to him?" He shook his blond head increduously.

Pandora was looking into Endymion's shocked face. "He wasn't suppose to know. I was to give the old man the amount the Endymion had made for me in the chorse of 15 years. I have keeping carful track of the amount he made every night..."
Dymion took a step back. " you traded your son for me?......How old was he?" He had a crawling feeling on his skin. Knowing why wouldn't have kept him from feeling..... "How old?"
"He was only a year old...." Pandora let out a sob. "Richter held him hostage before I made the deal."

Hermes bit his tongue, but still didn't trust the woman. He'd leave it up to Apollo to decide, seeing as he was the one who seemed to care.

"Wait, Apollo..." Endymion put a hand on his shoulder to stop him from doing anything further.
"Pandora, If I can give you the money you need, would you be able to get your son back?"
The woman blinked in surprise, she hadn't expected Dymion to offer this or even to care. Pandora held her tongue. Surely he was being cruel to her, to pay her back for all the years in slavery she'd put him through. But when she looked into his ernst face, the same face that many men and woman had paid much for to see in person, her resolve faltered. Not only he was handsome but his eyes held a rare quality, Honsety and determination, it reminded her of a story that she once read....About a knight named...
"Yes, IF only -You- promise to Help me."
He nodded. "You have my word."

Apollo stared at Pandora with an unfaltering gaze before finally dropping his hold on her and taking a step back. His voice was still hard though, "If for any reason I find out you aren't telling the truth, remember... the fate of the universe won't change with your death...' He stands rigidly, still unsure of whether or not they could trust her, but knowing he'd take every precaution possible not to lose Endymion to her, "What do we have to do?"

Pandora sat back against the wal, nursing her hurt wrists. She ignored the man inseated direction her comments at Endymion. "In the normal chorse of Five years you have made roughly $$100 million for me....that doesn't inclued the "special favors" you've been granted. I would need about 300 Mil in all to get my son back.." She humphed. "Also, i had agreed to take you back to him."
Endymion crossed his arms. "Would....Ritcher... be satified with the 300 Mill?"
"Maybe..." Pandora closed her eyes, smirking. "...I doubt it. That old fool had belived that you hold the key to immortality or some such nonsence."

Apollo's eyes widen, quickly glancing to Hermes, before looking back to Pandora, "$200 million?!" He was speechless. He had amounted a lot of money in his occupation on earth over the past century, but not $200 million... He groans softly and sits down in the nearest chair, starting to feel slightly dizzy now that he came down from his power high. He glances up to Endymion, now worried. He didn't like the way Endymion seemed so understanding of this. Surely he wasn't going to agree to work for her again, not after they worked so hard to free him. Pandora could have been lying for all they knew. He bites his lip, feeling slightly powerless at the moment and really hating it. When he had freed Endymion from this place, he had promised to protect him. Now he felt like there was nothing he could do. He distractedly gathers his black hair, pulling it back into a ponytail at the nape of his neck.

"Three hundred million? That's not that much for the...'key to immortality'. But, humans have always been foolish. Three hundred million is easy to do. Can we give her the money and wash our hands of this?" Hermes allowed that she may have been telling the truth for now, and was getting tired of the humans' insignifigant squibbling. He sounded utterly and completely bored, the situation having proven to be a great deal like many other dramas played out on mortal and immortal stages.

Apollo blinks, gazing up at Hermes, a smile starting to form on his lips. He didn't know whether to hate him or love him right now. He rolls his eyes slightly, standing back up again and returning to stand behind Endymion.

Endymion blinked. "So....??" He looked at Apollo, "Can you help? It's only money..."
To which Pandora snorted, "About $100 Mill." She frowned. "IF you can get that much....I'll let you go." She was a still a little reluctant to let Endymion go but, for some reson, she trusted his word. could it be that she was falling for the boy? She flushed in indignation at the thought.

Apollo smiles, relieved now, "$100 million? Ok...." He was still feeling dizzy, but this new revelation helped to steady him. He wipes a small bit of sweat from his forehead, the some of the excess blood from his arm and straightened up, "Well, I wish you would have told me that before all of this happened..." he indicates the mess behind them of the few bodies. Glancing back at the mangled mortals, he was almost sickened that he couldn't even remember squeezing the last bit of their lives from their bodies. He gulps hard at the bile rising in his throat, half relieved he had no memory. He dug his wallet out of his back pocket and glances to Hermes, "I have $75 million on me, I have the rest in the bank... If you'll cover me now, I can pay you back... not that money has much value to you anyways, but I wouldn't want to do you wrong in any way... not anymore..." He smiles slightly, eyes swimming with nearly forgotten emotions as he looks back to Pandora, "Do you take cash?"

Hermes chuckled at Endymion's wording. "On you? At the moment? In small, unmarked bills? And anyway, I don't care if you pay me back or not. Nice thing about being god of commerce? You always have as much money as you'll ever need." He drew a card from the air and handed it to pandora. "You'll find as much money as you need on here. PIN number's 3141."
