Cassie turns her head..
" I can't believe Hartley..."
She goes up after Achilles..
" Brother you are right to be angry. He had no right to bring that up. But you need calm yourself. Please Achilles I am worried about you."
Cassie places a hand on his shoulder trying to show him sympathy...

Achilles swung around and brought his fist down into the hood of a random car which sent it flipping up and crashing into the top of a second car!
His eyes closed and the tears trickled beyond his control.
"I...miss him..."

Whoa...Achilles...hey...destroying Midvale's cars isn't a good idea. Anything I can do to help? What's wrong?
*Maybe if he ignored her and showed concern for Achilles, Cassie wouldn't tell him to butt out.*

" I... I know. But causing property damage isn't a good idea."
Cassie grabbed Achilles in a demi-god bear hug.

Achilles fell into the embrace and buried his face in his sister's shoulder. He held on to her for several long moments, until he finally released her and looked to Chris, his eyes teary.
"Hartley shamed me. Threw Patroclus's name at me when I kissed him, and asked if that was how I kissed Patroclus when he was alive."
He shook his head and clamped his mouth shut an shook his head, his face starting to go red again.

He said WHAT? Oh screw that...not my Brother....wait right here!
*Chris armors up and stomps back down the sidewalk towards the diner. Chris knew that Hartley didn't like Achilles but throwing his dead lover into his face went too far!*

Cassie wasn't happy that Hartley played games with her brother's heart like that. ESPECIALLY since Patroclus died to protect HIM. How ungrateful! Cassie held Achilles and then looked up and saw that Chris was gone..
" Achilles.. head back to the dorms.. I'll be back soon with ice cream and bad movies.. But for now I gotta make sure Chris doesn't do anything stupid.."
With that Cassie flew off after Chris.

Dammit.
Hartley pulled himself off the coat rack and felt his pulse. Racing. Hard. So close...
Lisa was in a daze, probably because she'd finally gotten to ram her tongue down Powell's throat. He left her and headed for the door.
He felt giddy. That was the closest he'd come to death in months, and the adrenaline surge was rushing in his ears.
So, so close....

He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths...then turned around and walked off, heeding his sister's advice. If he stayed, he would beat Chris back to the diner and pound Hartley into the tile floor.

*Chris opened the door and found Hartley right in front of him. Good. Chris reached and pulled him out of the diner by the front of his shirt.*
I have had a $#!% week, Hartley, so understand I am in a very bad mood. I'm willing to let your slip of the tongue by if you go apologize to Achilles. I know you don't like him and believe me, I'll make sure he steers clear of you. But what you said about his dead lover was wrong. That man DIED to save your life. Say you're sorry and Achilles will be done with you. If you don't, well we'll find out how much I am like my mother.

Cassie was behind Chris but didn't say a word. She didn't know what Hartley's reaction would be but she did know Chris's temper and that he was true to his word. Still despite how wrong Hartley was she wouldn't let Chris kill him.

Hartley looked at the armored visage and laughed.
"I don't recall ever asking Patroclus for the favor in the first place!"
Hartley slipped down, out of the loosely-buttoned shirt to escape from Powell's grip and followed it up with a sweep to his legs to knock him off-balance.
"You were stupid enough to come after me in the first place. If you'd have left me, Ares woulda finished me and we'd ALL be a lot happier!"
Hartley paused, and waited for the punch-

Cassie pushed past Chris... she had a look of concern in her eyes...
" Hartley... does that include you? I mean I'm glad you're not dead ... but are you?"

You little piece of....
*Chris drew back his fist and stopped. Was he really like his mother? A murder? No. Chris dropped his hand.*
You're not worth the trouble, you little turd. Enjoy your miserable life with that harpy you hang out with. You're made for each other.
*Chris turned to Cassie. His voice lost all emotion.*
I'll catch up with Achilles. Enjoy your...date.
*Chris launched himself into the air and set off to find Achilles.*

Hartley opened one eye to see Powell leaving. He let out a long breath he'd been holding for, he didn't-know-how-long.
"Damn it."
He looked at Cassie.
"DAMN IT! Damn all of you!"
