I got up and rinsed my face, and it didn't really help. It only washed the dry tears off my face, didn't clear my bloodshot eyes. I grabbed a wash cloth and dried my face off. I sighed and sat back on my bunk. Suddenly someone flashed behind me, and I smelt perfume. The person behind me put her lips to my neck but didn't do anything. I moved and faced Aphrodite.

     "What are you doing here?" I asked her, rubbing my neck a little. It's not every day a goddess shows up right behind you.

    "Ugh, your no fun. You got to go to Olympus. Zeus wants you on Olympus." Aphrodite sighed and flashed us away. Couldn't she at least let me get a shirt on? Like, I show up on Olympus with no shirt, what kind of impression is that? Although I don't really care.

      When I opened my eyes, my hands were bound by metal and a large weight dragged them down to my feet. My body was not meant to bend like this, although it didn't really hurt. I relaxed my posture, even though I was worried. I looked away from the gods, knowing that a lot of them were looking at my chest. Aphrodite, Apollo (weirdly), Hermes (weirdly), Demeter, Hera, Zeus (shocking) and Dionysus. I blushed.

     "Alright, once you guys are done staring at my chest, mind telling me why I'm chained up?" I asked. The gods who were staring either acted like they weren't, blushed, or looked away, embarrassed. It took someone a minute to speak.

      "You are accused of aiding Gaea and Kronos in the two recent wars, how do you plead? Let's make this quick." Athena grumbled at the end. She seemed bored.

     "If this is court, it's pretty horrible. I've been to court and it is not just asked how we plead. Where's my lawyer?" I asked jokingly. Many people gave me quizzical looked, except the people who didn't care. I forgot for a minute that I wasn't meant to tell anyone about me being to court.

     "What side were you on?" Hades asked with a raised eyebrow. I chuckled a little bit, despite the situation I am in.

      "Victim, well, there were two victims, Sally and I. Long story short, I was nine and I accidentally told a police officer that my stepdad was an abusive alcoholic. It was decided that he was innocent and I was beaten black and blue. But yeah. Now why am I being accused?" I asked like I totally never called Gabe an abusive alcoholic.

     "Paul is abusive?" Poseidon asked angrily.

    "No, not that guy. Another guy that Sally and I killed with Medusa's head. Now why am I being accused of helping the enemies?" I asked. Don't you just love it when something serious is happening and some person is talking about something else? Yeah, that's what it's like right now.

     "We found plans of the camps weak spots on a map under your bunk, how do you plead?" Zeus asked.

     "Of course I had that, it's areas of improvement. I don't get why the Athena kids don't have it. It's called being smart." I scoffed and Athena raised from her throne angrily.

     "Are you calling my children idiots, Perseus?" She growled and I thought of how to respond.

     "If the shoe fits." I smirked. Athena looked like she was going to say something, and she did.

     "At least when my children are offered godhood, they accept and don't think about their boyfriends." Athena smirked, and it looked like she won a battle. No, she may have won this battle, but I won this war.

      "I'm sorry that I don't want to live forever and watch all the people I care for die. Aphrodite, cause you aren't a maiden, how many lovers did you have and they all died?" I asked looking towards her.

     "Too many to count." She admitted.

    "And how many have you mourned for?" I asked again, looking at Athena to see what facial expression she had. She had a deep frown.

    "Almost all of them." Aphrodite said. "Except Joe, don't get how I liked him." Aphrodite said, mainly to herself. I chuckled slightly.

     "I don't want that. Do whatever you want, send me to Tartarus if you want! I'm innocent but since when did that mean anything?" I growled at them. The only ones that seemed to believe me were Hestia, Hades, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus, Apollo and Artemis shockingly. at least 7 people believe me, and that's half the Olympians. I feel like I did well.
