Cassie hugs Chris..
" It's good to see you. I've been banned from the dance but Aphrodite said that something bad is going to happen at the dance.."

*grins at Cassie*
We'll need to get you in then...and I have something that might help.
*holds up his cell*
My group adviser sent me some photos. He said they could help clear your name! I thought we could hit the library, upload them to a computer, and give them a look.

" What about Achilles? Can we clear him to? Have you talked to him?"

At six o'clock on the dot, Hartley knocked on Len and Lisa's apartment door. In his opinion, he cleaned up rather nice, though he was more concerned about looking good in case Piotr was there than if Lisa appreciated it.
It was Len who opened the door, wearing his winter coat (as usual) over his suit. He looked Hartley up and down appraisingly and gave a grunt of approval.
"Knew I picked the right one. LISA. YOUR DATE'S HERE."
Lisa stepped out, wearing a long orange gown trimmed with white fur across the bosom and the bottom. Her hair was upswept and her makeup was flawless.
"You look nice." Hartley informed her flatly. She looked at his outfit, black dress slacks and a green sport coat, with a green tie with tiny white polka dots and gave a nod of approval.
"You look....well, totally gay, but I can work with it."
Hartley noticed that there was another girl in the room, presumably Len's date for the night. She gave a slight wave.
"Hey. I'm Crystal Frost." Hartley held back a broken-nosed snort at the idea of Len "Captain Cold" Snart dating a girl with the last name Frost.
"Hey."
Len picked up his cell phone.
"Hey Evan. Tell James and Digger to get off their asses and grab their girls. We'll meet you after dinner and head into the dance together."
Len hung up. Lisa cleared her throat at Hartley and pointed at her coat.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Well HELP me put on my coat! OH. MY. GOD."
Hartley rolled his eyes and did so, spying from the corner of his eye that Len was grabbing something and slipping it into the inside pocket of his coat. Something distinctly gun-shaped. Hartley felt the inside of his suit pocket, where he was keeping his piccolo. It gave him confidence.
"AND?"
Lisa crossed her arms. Hartley signed and opened the small plastic box with the black corsages in it that Ms. Darkholme had given him. He saw Len do the same, and the two boys presented their dates with the black roses.
"Mmmmmm, smells like a cold winter night." Crystal smiled as Len pinned it to her chest. Hartley stalled, fumbling with the pin until Lisa gave him an annoyed sigh and put it on herself.
"Ready?"
"Yeah. Let's do this thing."

"Dear, brave Achilles...."
The voice caused him pause and he halted as the goddess Pallas Athena again appeared to him, clad in her shimmering armor.
"Where do you think to go if not here?"
"Anywhere would be preferable over this abysmal pit of despair they call a modern world."
Pallas Athena tilts her head to the side and her gray eyes pierce his soul as she asks;
"Do you truly believe that?"
"I have not witnessed such misery before. There was less back stabbing on the fields of Troy! I hate it here! I want to return!"
"And what did you have there if not death and pain?"
"Patroclus. And the glory of battle."
"Your beloved Patroclus will be there for when you return, and you have already been given evidence of the glory you will one day achieve at Troy. Three thousand years later and your name is remembered."
"Perhaps..."
"And perhaps that is a reason why some here in this time show such resentment. You have achieved what many can only dream of. Immortality."
"Sometimes I dare say such things are not worth the sacrifice Pallas Athena."
She tilts her head forward toward him and he bows his head humbly.
"I hope my words do not disappoint or offend."
Athena smiles.
"You could not offend me my brave one, nor disappoint. You could only do so, if you were to abandon those who will soon be in need."
"I do not understand."
"Leave now, and you leave behind those who care about you to a grave danger. Your sister Cassandra, your new friend Wally...Ares's hand is at play."
"But...what can one do against a god?"
Athena smiles.
"Leave that to another god brave Achilles. It is the disciples of Ares you and your friends must engage."
Athena vanishes, leaving a confused Achilles in her wake.

He said it will clear both of you.
*walks across campus to the library*
We can use one of the art PCs. They have photography programs on them.

::Wally's intense allergic reaction to the perfumes in Cassie's room meant that he sneezed and coughed so hard that he had no choice but to retreat with Dani back into her room. After the sneezing subsided, Wally rubbed his nose as he sat on Dani's bed::
Sorry about that. I'm allergic to roses.
::blowing his nose one more time, he stood up and breathed clearly::
Anyway, I think Chris and Cassie have their own plan about getting into the dance. So, if you want to get ready, just let me know when you want to stop by and we can go, okay? It won't take me long to get ready.

"I don't know how it will clear us...? What's the photo of..?"

*Chris uploaded the photos Fury sent him to a PC. The photos are a series of shots of Joanna and Julian from the past two days. The first one is a shot of them in Frost's office with the principal and vice-principal. The Double J's are in gym clothes and headbands.*
That must be when they lie about you and Achilles.
*Several photos follow with the Julian and Joanna: on the quad in headbands, in the cafeteria in headbands, with the Rogues in headbands, in the gym in headbands...*
I don't get it.

Hm...you're right.
*Chris zooms in on one headband. The numbers "10/6" appear on the front of it.*
That's not school sports gear. Maybe we should track down Julian or Joanna and look at that headband.
