Consequences

"Wilsher!" Dionysus called out to Will. But Will didn't pay attenion to him and carried on with his trip to the infermery, it was his shift after all. It was two weeks after the war had finally ended and cabins were still being built, patients were still being healed, but things were getting better.

Slowly, but it was progress.

Chiron sighed, "William, will you come here for a moment please?" the sentar asked the new counseler of the Apollo cabin. Will didn't want to, but he knew if he said no he would get a punishment, and he couldn't get a punishment with his schedule. but he didn't have time to stop and chat, he had places to be, and things to do, unlike a certain wine god and centar who sit around and play card games.

Will told them, "I'm needed in the infermery, can't this wait. There's a paitent that needs special attention." Chiron nodded and Will sighed and started into a run, something told him to get there fast. He was right. Ashton from the Hephaestus cabin was hyperventallating and no one could calm him down. Ashton was in a coma, he had taken a nasty hit to the head, then a burn charred his right leg, and right forearm. Chiron was about to help when Will said, "I got this." Then he walked over to Ashton, and Dionysus were staying in the back and Will nearly scoffed at him, here was a director, who was responcible for the well-being of his camper and he hated every single one of them, he couldn't understand a father of two children, one who had died and the other was in a pit of despair. He didn't do a damn thing for Pollux, execept keep him from fighting. Pollux wanted to though, but Dionysus didn't understand anything when it came to parenting. Will watched each day as Pollux slip futher and futher into despair, and he tried to help, but nothing could take place of a sibling, nothing.

Ashton was about to start thrashing around, "Back up! Leave him be." Will told his younger siblings. Brooke moved them away and started singing a hymn to Apollo, Ashton calmed slightly listening to her but he didn't open his eyes, they had been friends for years and started dating a year ago. "Hey Ashton, its me, Will, you know your girlfriend's brother?" Will said calmly before raising his hand to Ashton's forehead, he was sweating, but didn't have a fever. As he continued his check up with Ashton, Brooke sat down in the chair next to him and stopped singing.

That triggered Ashton to waken, "Will? I-Is Brooke okay?" he asked hoarsly because he had just woken up from a two week sleep.

"I'm here, Ashton, just calm down. The war is over, we won! The camp is saved. Nyssa, Jake, Shane, Christopher are alive, so are the others. And you remember Harley from the Hermes cabin? He was claimed!" Brooke said. She grabbed Ashton's hand and brushed her thumb arcoss the back of his and he started to relax and opened his eyes, his hazel eyes looking to her blue ones. Ashton's heart almost started beating even faster, due to how beautiful she looked at the moment.

Her messy blonde hair tossed to a braid, her red tank top hugging her figure showing all her scars from years passed and her light tanned skin, her denim knee-length shorts and gray running shoes telling him the same story, her story. She had the same reaction towards him, his chocolate brown hair ruffled from his sleep, his white hospital gown around his torso and legs, she could see his burns and scars as well on his white tan skin still healing, she could see the the uncertainty in his eyes, how many siblings has he lost?

"Harley?" Ashton asked. Ashton always had a soft spot for him, after Harley barrled across the border and ran into Ashton, they were nearly insepreatible. Ashton taught Harley to make some small knives, and even let him help Ashton with a sword, against Jake's orders, but no one had the heart to get on to Harley. Ashton pushed Harely out of the way when a cyclops chunck a burning rock at Harely and took the hit, luckly Brooke and Jake was near and dragged him to the make-shift hospital. "Who claimed him?" Ashton asked with a cough.

"Lean your head back." Brooke softly ordered, he obeyed and she poured some nectar down his throat. "By your father, Hephaestus-" She got cut off when the doors slamed open and a little boy running in.

"Ashton! I missed you!" said Harely. Ashton winced at the loud noises and Brooke shushed him gently. "Guess what?" Harely asked in a quieter tone, nearly bursting with excitment. Will was done by now and gave Brooke the 'all good, now he can leave' sign and she nearly started crying with relief as she hugged her brother.

"What, little man?" Ashton asked with a small smirk.

"I said, 'Guess'!" said the boy climbing on the foot of the bed.

Ashton pulled Harely onto his lap and hugged him gently aware that he could agrevate the wounds on his arm and legs, after all his girlfriend/bestfriend was a nurse for years, kind of. "Oh, I don't know. Is it that you are my brother?" Ashton asked slyly.

Harely pouted slightly, "How did you know?" Ashton pointed at Brooke when her back was turned helping someone drinking water. "Brooke! I wanted to tell him!" He pouted but quickly turned back to Ashton with a big smile. "Can I give you a nickname?" he asked timidly.

Ashton looked confused for a second, then smiled and chuckled, "Sure, but why?" he asked.

"You call me 'little man' or 'Har', so I think its fair that I give you one!" Harely explained quickly and Ashton nodded. "Brooke, I need help." Harely said to her.

"With what?"

"A nickname for Ashton."

"Well you can call him 'Ash'."

"No! A personal one that only I can call him, everyone calls him that!"

Brooke nodded then started thinking, as she did her face broke into an evil smirk, "How about Felix?" Ashton immediately glowered at her, and she winked back at him silently laughed to herself before going back to helping the other people.

"Brooke, no!" said Ashton.

Harely smirked and asked, "Why Felix?"

"Well he was Fix It Felix for Halloween one year."

"Brooke! I knew that I shouldn't have told you!" Ashton said without heat.

"Sorry, not sorry, Babe." Brooke said jokingly with a smirk.

"I like it! How are you feeling Felix?!" Harely teased. Ashton groaned in annoyance and threw his head back onto the soft pillows behind him. Harely and Brooke started laughing and Ashton couldn't help but smile. Even though he could see Brooke was suffering the loss of most of her siblings, she was genuenly started laughing and he would be embarrassed forever if it means that she was laughing, even if it was at him.

"Wilsher! I need a word." Dionysus called after Will.

"Get the name right, and maybe."

"Maybe? Do-"

"Do you realize that I'm helping my patients, or do I realize that I'm talking to a god?" Will falred up. "Yes, I know who I'm talking to. I'm talking to a god who was down here because he couldn't handle himself, I'm talking to a father who doesn't realize what their child is going through. I'm talking to a god who doesn't realize that a demigod's or a human's life is a fragile thing that if one thing goes wrong, the whole thing will fall apart. I'm done talking to gods doesn't respect other, I'm a hundred percent done trying to protect the gods who only doing things for those who will always be remembered! What about those who weren't! Huh? What about people like Charlie? Silena? George from Hecate? Emma from Hypnos? Kyle from Hebe? They all died! Why?! Because of you gods! And you gods don't do a damn thing!" Will shouted at Dionysus. Everyone started at the usually laid back counselor of Apollo's cabin.

Suddenly Will appeared in the Court Room of the Gods, he landed near his father, and on his feet, almost breaking an ankle from how harsh his landing was. "Zeus! I bring you a person who speaks treason of the gods!" Dionysus said to his father.

"What?" Zeus and Apollo said. Well, Zeus screamed and Apollo was confused.

"Calm down Father." Athena said, but she glared at Will and Will stared back at Dionysus just as furiously as Athena was at him. "We need to hear his side of the story if we are to be justful." she said. Will was thankful that at least two of the gods had a brain that has common sense.

"Well were do we start?" Poseidon asked.

"The beginning, Fish Head."

"Don't start with me, Bird Brain."

"Enough! Dionysus please begin." Zeus said.

After Will said his share, describing the war, the losses, tradidy, and pain, adding that none of the gods were helping their own children, the gods were not harsh with Will, which surprised him. Apollo looked at Will with respect that none of the gods were showing. I mean he risked his life saying those few chosen words, and they weren't just spur of the moment of thing. Will knew what would happen if he said those things. He thought the gods just needed to be slapped in the face with reality and needed to be showed that not everyone can live forever.

"Dionysus, those words were not words of treason." Athena said looking down at her hands that were in her lap.

"True, Athena. Will, you are free to go." Zeus said.

"I'll help." Apollo said and waved his hand in a 'shoo shoo' guesture and Will was back at camp.

This will take time to explain... and sink in. Will thought, walking into the infirmary. Chiron and his siblings looked at him questioningly, but he waved it off and continued taking care of the others.

"And we have two trials in a row." Hera said, looking at Apollo.

"Alright, I will start from the beginning too. No need to tell me what to do Athena." Apollo said getting off his throne and walked to middle of the throne room, in the front of the hearst. "Well..."

"Okay, we will vote in one hour." Zeus said rubbing his head and flashing out. Then everyone followed his example and either flashed or walked out, till it was just Apollo and Hestia.

"Hey, Apollo?"

"Yes, Aunt Hestia?"

"I'm proud that you did what you did, your children seem just a bit happier than a few weeks ago."

"Thank you. Now if you excuse me, the sun won't drive itself."

"Of course."

And the doors shut, but quietly, almost as if the person shutting the doors where distracted.

An agonizing hour later everyone was in, and even Aphrodite wasn't late. "Now we will take the vote if Apollo did the right thing. Apollo, Hestia will take your place in this vote." Apollo nodded and got off his throne, before Hestia sat on it and it changed, and started looking like a fireplace and she sat where the flame would be. "I will vote last and we will start with Artemis." Zeus stated.

"He stays." No hesitation.

"He stays." Hestia said, just as quickly.

"He stays." Hepheastus said, glaring at Hera, wishing she could have something like Apollo.

"Family love! How sweet! He stays!" Aphrodite squealed.

"He goes." Dionysus stated his opinion gruffly.

"He stays." Hermes said sadly, he couldn't do something like that to Luke. He understood what Apollo was doing.

"He stays." Athena stated, "I envy you for being that coragous, Apollo." she commented, almost as an afterthought, but Apollo nodded at her none-the-less.

"We don't needs sissies. He goes." Ares grimly stated, and Apollo just started to glare, but quickly turned to the next person.

"He stays." Poseidon said.

"He stays. Make sure you eat your cereal." Demeter said. Apollo nodded again, and nearly laughed, but kept a straight face.

"He goes." Hera said, knowing it was a losing battle, and everyone else knew that her vote was going to be that, but never commented on it.

"Well, three to eight. I say he stays." Zeus finally said. Almost everyone was out of the room, Aphrodite with Hepheastus (she was glaring at Ares, while Hepheastus had a smug look on his face) I'll ask about that later. Apollo thought, Zeus with Hera bickering (of course), Poseidon flashed out, Athena, Ares, Hermes, and Dionysus.

Artemis jumped off her chair and tightly hugged Apollo, whispering apologizes in his ear, "I'm so sorry. You were right, I don't know what its like, and I shouldn't have scolded you like you were a child." she whispered.

Apollo distanced himself and said, "It hurt that no matter what I do for you, and you just act like I don't matter. And I'm at my breaking point. So until we figure this out, I'm not going to be there as often. I'll there when you need me, just not whenever you want me be there."

And the doors didn't closed but that person wasn't distracted or angry, just waiting for an answer.

No one knew Apollo was on trial, except for the Olympians, not even Chiron knew.

No one, execpt his children.

Runs in the family, I guess.
