Adel pulled away and looked curiously up at him. "Home?"
"Yes," Rubius said, kneeling down to pick up the gift-bag. "I was hard put to think of some kind of gift to give you...but I desiced this was a good gift." he handed the bag to Adel. "open it."
The mortal sat down and pulled a framed photo of his father with a woman holding an infant, and a younger boy standing beside her. Adel stared at it for moment. "What is this?"
"That, is my fiance, and her two children. We are planing to get married this summer...I'm not only going to bring you home, but I'll give you a family as well." Rubius smiled, looking at the photo too. "Nathan, your little brother has been waiting to meet you."

Apollo keeps his face expertly blank. In a way, he knew he couldn't blame Rubius for, if he thought that Apollo was a child molester, for wanting to take Adel away. But it was the fact that the man knew nothing of the situation and was still so hasty to judge that made Apollo weary. He also knew that even if Adel decided to stay with Apollo and Endymion, that Rubius would still probably try it in court and take his son back by force.

Adel looked up from the photo, his face clouded with indisction. "I...I don't' know." The boy's eyes misted over. "Can't I stay here?"
The question surprised Rubius. he glanced up to see Apollos' reaction then back to his son. "Adel, I have been looking for you since you were five years old. Don't you understand that your grandfather kidnapped you?" He was aghast, and distressed, this was unexpected.
"Yeah....but." Adel hung his head. "Endmyion and Apollo are my friends....."
Rubius looked at the two, his brows pressing together. "You can make more friends....it's not that hard." he knelt down to look into Adel's face."I want you to come home with me, to your family." Adel shook his head and stepped back. "No, I don't want to leave Endmyion."

Apollo swallows hard, knowing that this could turn really ugly really fast. This wasdefinitely not the time to celebrate that Adel had chosen to stay. He steps forward, the look on his face was genuine concern, "Listen.... Perhaps we can work out a schedule for visitations...."
Diana slinked into the room, in her cat form of course, and quickly dashes to Adel's feet, rubbing against his legs affectionately.

Adel smiled down picked her up,Diana purred. "Diana..." He held her close.
Rubuis stood up, scowling openly at Apollo. " 'Apollo'? Is that what he calls you? And that boy's name is Endmyion?" he glanced at the young god sitting quietly trying not to be drawn in. Still he felt the man's eyes inspecting him.
"I thought that all knowledge of Greek legends had died in the western world....." he looked as thought he were about to say more. "Mr. Ritchter had been the last scholar of that old nonsense." he watched his host's reactions very carefully. If it proved that this man was delusional....

Apollo kept his face blank but inside, his mind was whirling. He had forgotten to tell Adel to call him Jordan and when it had slipped out of the boy's mouth, he hadn't thought anything of it. He looks away locking eyes with Dionysus, mentally asking him, "What can we say?.... He has us..... If we admit it, of course he won't believe us, but he'll still think we're crazy... There's no way to win..."
It was right at that moment that Chronos walked into the room in the form of a sixteen-year-old, carrying a trey of smoothies, "Here you all are, I was looking for all of you... Dionysus, I spiked yours a little bit, I figured you'd need a boost." He puts the tray down on the table, obviously ignoring all the tension, "Enjoy!" He shifts to the form of a six-year old and grins before skipping out of the room.
Apollo's eyes widen and he mutters, "Dius immortales...."

Dion gave a nervous laugh, He watched Rubius's face change from accusation, to shocked surprise then to profound confusion. "Did that boy just....shrink?"
Dion quickly steeped up. "No, not at all, that was just one of our guests...."
Rubuis, his moment of confusion over only shook his head. "Guests?"
"Yeah..." Dion rubbed his ear, a nervous gesture, he was trying to dig into the man's mind to get him to forget that one little bit of chaos. But the mortal's mind was tightly closed.
"This is mad." Rubuis said in a low voice. "I know what I've seen, that boy shrank into a child."
Dion sighs throwing up his hand in defeat "Ok,,,,,you've caught us, we are Gods and a mortal from your old perverted father's books." He narrowed his eyes at the man. "Would you seriously believe that? Honestly?"
Rubius shook his head, now confused.

((I hope you feel better, lover))
Apollo rolls his eyes and grumbles something before going up to Rubius, "I know this is a shock to you, but it's probably best if you sit down and hear us out.... We can prove we are who we are, but right now you should hear what we have to say..." He sits down on the couch across the coffee table from where Rubius was sitting. He motions for Endymion and Dion to join them.
"My name is Apollo... This is my cousin Dionysus and my beloved Endymion... He's normally not in this body, but you've stumbled upon us at a strange time... You see, the myths about the Greek gods were true... We showed ourselves to the Greek and Roman cultures earlier in the earth's existence, but as the total world population grew and different religions began to blossom among the people, we could no longer show ourselves. They refused to believe we still existed... But that doesn't mean that we have simply left. We have been here, since the beginning of time, running the world you live in anonymously... The boy you saw shifting before was Chronos, the god of time... He tends to have a twisted sense of humor, but what else would you expect of Time?... Endymion here is a new god. He was a mortal in the ancient Greek era but has been under a deep sleep induced by Diana. If you read mythology, you would know that.... He recently came back to consciousness under Pandora's care and was a stripper at her club for a while.... That is, until I found him and set him free.... Are you following me so far?"

Rubuis listened, with nearly every word he was beginning to pant, becoming distressed. This man, this perverted man was spouting the same madness that his adopted father had feed to him so many years ago.
Sometime during his teens he had started to refuse what Richter had kept telling him about the Greek Gods, he just didn't believe him anymore, this modern world had scientific explanations about how the nature and the world works. He no longer believed that a bearded figure hurled lighting around to create a thunder storm. Or another 'god' drove a chariot to make the sun rise.
Rubius had seen his father drive himself into theses moods in which the old man would speak nothing but the gods and their verious stories, and also speaking most adamantly about finding the so-called proof of their existence. In the end, Rubuis had confronted the old man, the resulting argument had left him unconsuios in his study and the old man had fled with his young son.
"......This....This is..." Rubuis sputtered to voice his disbelief. "..Utter Rubbish!" He fought to control his anger. " Do you expect me to believe what you a man clearly self-deluted that he's a God!?"
Adel flinched, hearing that tone he hugged Diana tighter him, The cat-goddess was now Glaring at the man with wide silver eyes.
"...Your as insane as my father was!" He reatched out and pulled Adel to him. "Excuse me, but I'm taking my son away from you, and the Other boy, if you do not give him up I'll call the police!"
Endmyion paled, Adel, confused and sacred, did not even cry but clung tight to Diana.
(( Bleh, sorry, I was in a novel writing mood. Rubuis' just really sensible, and can be slightly manipulative. When confronted with something you refuse to believe in, one will do anything to dismiss it. ))

((true, but he may be forced to dismiss it))
Apollo stood up, his face serious, there was no panic at all on his face. Suddenly, from no where, the cell phone from Rubius' side floated into the air and burst into white hot flames before crashing to the coffee table, "No, I don't think calling the police is a good idea..... I'll buy you a new one of those, by the way.... I never could get used to a hand-held phone...." She sighs, looking as if he were extremely annoyed with this scientific bullshit kind of guy.
He leans across the table, "Tell me, Mr. Richter, how out of the utter billions of stars in the universe, just one managed to be stable enough to sustain life? Do you really think you are a coincidence.... No, don't flatter yourself.... If you want proof, I can give you proof. I can make the sun rise before your eyes, turn day to night before you could blink. So don't sit there in your preconceived notions and tell me that gods don't exist because one of them threatened to kill your son a little over a week ago and if it wasn't for Endymion here, Adel wouldn't be alive.... Men like you think you know this world when there is only a speck of the worldly knowledge in your insignificant mind." He suddenly pushes hard at Rubius' mental walls, not enough to break through, but enough to confuse him and give him a bit of a headache. He stands back, glaring at the man, "Refusing to believe is NOT an option."
He looks to both Diana and Dion, whispering to their minds, "A little help?"

Diana wiggled lose from Adel's gripp and shook her self, as she did, she shed her fur and grew rapidly into a the form of a young woman.
Rubious clenched the boy tighter as he was the impossible happen, his bright azure eyes wide behind his glasses.
Diana frowned. "If you take Adel, then I'm coming with him."
Rubiuis, his head aching and his min unable to cope, fainted. "Daddy!?" Adel felt him go slack and fall over. He tried to grab him to keep him from falling.
But Dion had run to catch him before he hit the floor, holding him up somewhat the god of wine shook his head. "Was that really wise? a mortal's mind is weak."

Apollo sighs and rubs at his aching temple, "I know.... I thought of that, but it's better to have him out like this than to have him do something rash..." He looks to Adel, concerned, "I'm sorry I had to do that, Adel.... But if he had gotten out of here, our lives would be in danger...."
He walks over and helps Dion lift the limp body and set Rubius on the couch, laying down.
He sighs, "We have two choices now.... We wait til he wakes up and try to explain it to him again.... Or we take his unsheilded mind now and make him forget this all ever happened..... But if we make him forget, we may still be in danger of him taking us to court..."

"True." Endmyion said, getting off the couch to stand beside Apollo. "I think the best Idea is to talk to him.....when he wakes up." He looked up in time to see Adel run out of the room, sniffing. Dian followed, looking worried.

Apollo nods to Endymion before he caught sight of Adel running from the room. He curses lightly under his breath. He should have known better than to be so harsh with Rubius, especially with Adel around. Apollo goes to follow as well, but then hesitates, not knowing how Adel would respond to his presence right now. Shaking his head, he continues following them before remembering about Rubius. Deciding to seek out Adel after he took care of his father, he hefts Rubius up into his arms carefully and walks from the room, going upstairs to one of the guest bedrooms. He walks in and lays Rubius down on the bed. He takes off the man's shoes before pulling the covers up over him. He leaves the room, locking the door from the outside just in case.

Dion rubbed his forehead, how could he leave now when things where getting intresting again? maybe after this is resolved. His smile retruning, he sat beside Endmyion. "So when does the big moment happen?" he asked. ENdmyion frowned and shook his head "Perhaps later, I'm sure that I remember Rubuis from earlier."
