When last seen, Clear was flying off as a servent of the voice, looking to escape it, and I mean flying, with wings. Dain decided that Clear shouldn't go alone, and followed after her on a Heapheastus-enhanced motor-bike. Where their journey takes them is played out in this story.
Please note: This is CLEAR and DAIN's story. Which means no posty from outside people!

Clear's feet hit the ground, her landings still a bit awkward. She stumbled for a moment before catching herself. She gave a triumphant smile when she didn't fall on her face this time. "Daaaaain?" It'd been a few days since they'd left, and now she'd begun to enjoy his company on her journey to LA for the entrance to the Underworld. "Where are you?" She was in a parking lot of a closed Best Buy, the baren cement slab empty. She didn't see any sign of poeple for a ways, which worried her.

Dain speeded down a nearby road, no one else was on it. Two hellhounds bounded after him, all was normal in his life. He turned into the parking lot and after a few yards stoped all of a sudden. So suddenly he did a stopy and his rear end went up. One hellhound didn't stop fast enofe and when the bikes back end came down it crushed its skull.
The first beast turned to dust as Dain kicked the stand down and got off.He took off his helmet and drew his dagger. Putting the helmet of the handel bars and takeing aim, he threw the dagger and it hit square in the hounds forhead.
A smile of satisfation was on Dain's face as he walked towards Clear, his dagger back in its sheath.

"Hi..." Clear saw the scene then gave Dain a small smile, "You're a very interesting guy, ya know that?" She pulled her wings in, holding them close to her back as a stream of cars sped by on the lone highway. "What do you think we should do? Wanna crash for the night?" She pointed at the Best Buy. It was getting dark, but not so much where they couldn't see.

Dain shrugged at the complement and said, "Well, the hydrogen tank is getting low so if you wana drive all night we're gana have to buy gas. I'd rather buy food. So lets crash."
The bike ran on hydrogen powercells and sometimes needed time to vent and refill.

Clear dug into her pocket, pulling out a few bills, "I don't have much, do you?" She counted, only four dollars. Her lavender eyes turned up to Dain, the left side of her face still wrapped in bandages. "How much cash you got?" Shifting, she could hear the golden drachma clatter in her pocket.

Dain's grey eyes meet clears and he gabred a few bills and coins out of his back pocket. Before barely glanceing atthe money be said, "20 dollars in mortal cash, and five drachmas. That makes a total of...?"

"Twenty-four dollars and nineteen drachma." Clear handed her cash to Dain, a smile on her face. "I'm starved. I hope there's a half-way decent resturant nearby." She giggled at the thought of eating at a place like they had yesterday...filled to the brim with monsters. "Monster-free would be nice too."

"Yeah.... that would be nice," He then looked around and saw a McDonalds, "Well, its cheap...."
Then he gave it a bit more thought and said, "Might be a hydra though..."
As if on cue, two hydras came bumbleing out from behind the Best Buy.

Clear grinned, "Been needin' a fight. Wanna see if I have any new abilities...other than flight." She placed a hand on Dain's shoulder, "May I, please?"

Dain sighed and then said, "All right, the Hydras are all yours." He acted pretty disappointed but he was actuly just as curious as Clear.

Clear picked up into the sky, dropping between the two hydras. A three-headed Cereberus pup was hard...imagine two nine-headed hydras...maybe they'll be smarter. Two heads is better than one, so what about nine? These thoughts sped through her mind so quickly, she could hardly register the old words Kaci had said so long ago.
The two hydras she fought, had her out for a week even after the ambrosia and necter.
Clear's motive here: Revenge, sweet revenge.
A smile played Clear's lips, the hydras snapped at her, she picked up, the two bit each other instead. A few heads fought with each other and others reached for Clear in the sky. Caught up in her thoughts, she didn't realise a head closed its fangs around her ankle and pulled her down.
Landing on her back, Clear's ankle seemed to light on fire from the pain, the sound of the thin bones in her wings was heard cracking and shattering. She held back her cries of pain as she finally came to a full stop on the ground. The head released her, and Clear found herself laying right in the middle of the eighteen heads. "s**t..." She muttered quietly, the heads lunged at her.
"Kai!" Clear went on instict and knowledge, throwing her hand out as she said the curse. What looked like a wave spread off her hand, the very sound and air around her and the hydras moved as it passed through every particale. Suddenly, both hydras were thrown backwards, crashing through the wall of the Best Buy and exploding into black dust.
Clear lay on the ground stunned for a moment, then the pain came in another wave and she bit her bottom lip to keep from crying. The firey pain of the hydras bite moved up her leg, and her broken wings lay crumpled underneath her.

"CLEAR!" Dain yelled as she hit the ground. He ran as fast as he could and got there right after she blasted the Hydras with... whatever it was. Dain didn't even think about how she had managed to do that, he just ran to her side.
He fished out a bottle of what looked like an applejuice slushy, nectar. "Drink this," he said his grey eyes full of consurn and love.

Grimacing, Clear shook her head, "I'll be fine..." She bit her lower lip again, then came the sickning 'pop' of her skin as her teeth broke through her lip. The bitter taste of blood filled her mouth, the corners of her mouth trailed blood. "I'm...fine.." Her world darkened, and she fell back, flat on her back, fully unconsious.

"Great...," Dain said sighing. The mortal medics couldn't help, there was no branches nearby to make a splint.
About thirty minutes later Dain sat on a bed in a cheap 2-star hotel. Clear was laying on the same bed, still unconsious. A couple of hamburgers lay on a nightstand, wraped in McDonalds wapers with some fries. Next to the burgers was a bowl of ambrosia.
