Snippet #2401702

Tom Angelo

Tom glared at the arrogant little man. "Zeus", his nameplate read. It fit him. He was rich, little prick that thought that the world revolved around him because he happened to own one of the biggest companies in the world. He sneered and crossed his arms. This was not going to be any fun whatsoever, but if what the professor said was true...

"Have I not proven myself to you? How many people do you know are half man and half horse. Certainly, centaurs are a rare sight nowadays or I wouldn't hide myself in this wheelchair," Chiron began only for one other of their number to snap. Tom watched as the one labeled "Artemis" broke down because of one of the old myths. Apparently she was sitting next to the guy she supposedly killed and had loved.

"Dear God," he muttered. The said guy, for his part, seemed to bolt from his seat. How chivalrous. Chiron, however, ignored them and looked straight at "Zeus".

"Very well, do you want your proof? Take a look at this," Chiron told him. He touched his head and closed his eyes, "Remember what it felt like when you first sat enthroned on Olympus."

His hand seemed to glow.

Tom snorted, "Hey, hasn't Carter-boy gotten enough bailouts to last a lifetime?!"

Orion Lee

Orion followed after Chase. Seriously, she really needed someone to talk to and he felt he should be the one to help her. It was only fair. He scratched his head when he found her in the hallway and stood next to her. What should he say? 'Well, do you want to give our millenia old relationship a try?'

"I did not know what the Sam Hill was going on when I first met you, but I guess now we know," he stated awkwardly. He really didn't know what to do with his hands but he felt he should do something so he patted her shoulder gently.

"I really don't know how you're feeling. I don't know how I'm feeling. But, for the record, I don't blame you for what happened. I remember that story about how Orion, I, died and I felt bad for all three of them: Artemis, Apollo, Orion. Hell, Apollo was probably just trying to protect his baby sister in his own way. Not that you really are a baby, but... Well, my point is that I'm alive and I want to help. Just don't tell my Grandma. She warned me against joining a fraternity in college. She said they were all cults."

He grinned at the irony, "Well, I certainly ain't going to worship you. At least, not without your permission."

He blushed red. Really, how did he go into dirty territory. She was going to slap him something fierce.
