Gods among us-part LIII

"I was thinking what if we reach out to Mark and the rest and offer our help?" JJ said looking at Anna.

Anna jumped.

"YOU HAVE TO ΒΕ JOKING" she yelled.

"I am not."JJ said calm. Anna was still looking at her surprised.

"Listen, JJ said, they don't know that Niko is the one who actually spied on them. What if, we turn him from spy into their alliance?"

"How? From what you said, one of the bad guys is using Niko's body. If we do that, they will know."

"Titans, yes. But, what if Niko finds a way to turn off the communication channel so that they won't be able to listen when he will be with the others?"

"I don't know JJ, I honestly don't want to be involved with this, I am just not interested in seeing Mark with his new girlfriend."

"Anna, it's not about Mark or his wife..."

"WIFE?" Anna yelled. JJ looked at her with eyes wide opened.

"Yes Anna, Mark and Nora are married, actually Zeus and Hera are married but since they are them..."

"I'm getting a headache" Anna said touching her forehead. "How can you remember all this?"

JJ laughed.

"History of art, remember?"

Anna looked at her more confused.

"What has your studies to do with this situation?"

JJ shook her head.

"Anna, I have studied history of art. There are a lot of paintings about the greek mythology."

"I see. Eventhough, JJ I don't want to mingle. I just can't."

"I understand but you need to see the bigger picture here. We are talking about our planet JJ, they will destroy it. Is this what you want?"

Anna laughed. JJ looked at her serious.

"You still don't believe this."

"No i donˋt." Anna said laughing.

JJ took a deep breath.

"OK Anna, you don't have to , I know it's a lot to take."

"No JJ, it's just stupid. Gods and Titans and battles and I don't know what else."

JJ stayed quite.

Phil got out of the sea together with Bea.

"How are you feeling?" Nora asked him.

"As powerful as Poseidon. Ready to take the control of the ocean again." he said and Bea hugged him.

"Thank you Nora." she said. Nora smiled.

"Thank you for wanting to fight with us."

"I don't want to lose him." she said.

"OK that's enough. Who's next?" Amy said.

"Mary." Nora said and looked Mary whilst she was smiling. By the sound of her name she became serious.

"No." she said.

"Yes" Nora said.

"Nora, I don't feel ready."

"You will never be ready." Nora said and Mary looked down.

"OK" she said unwillingly.

"Great. Let's start."

"Wait, what? Now?" Mary looked at her shaking from fear.

"Yes" Nora said.

"Ehm Nora, I think we all need some rest. We need to get some sleep. Especially Lilly and Phil." Mark said.

"I thought you might said that. There are sleeping bags and tents." She said and everyone went to the van to pick them up. Bea and Nora stayed behind.

"Great job Nora." Bea said.

Nora nodded.

"Thank you. But we are at the begging.We have a long way to go."

"Agreed. But the beggining is half of everything." 

Nora smiled.

"Aristotle said that."

Bea smiled.

"Indeed. One of your favorite." 

"Oh he was brilliant." Nora said.

"How are you?" Bea asked.

"I'm fine, getting stronger day by day."

"You know that I would like you to try your power as well so that we are sure." 

Nora nodded.

"Yes, I will. I need the rest to gain their power back since mine was the first to come but we will definitely try it as well. Like you said, to make sure that we are not missing anything."

"Great, Bea said. Now come on, let 's go help the rest, Phil and Lilly are weak and they need some help."

Nora nodded and they went to the van.
