The Town Plaza

Taylor

Alex tried to protect me and he got shot. “Alex!” I scream. I leap of the ground and run to him. I put my ear to his heart. He is still alive. “Alex please do not leave me. Please.” I yell.
The person with the gun grabs me by the hair and pulls me up. My body is out of control. I am shaking beyond belief and tears rapidly flow out of my eyes. “Please so not hurt me.” I whisper.

He put a gun to my head and I scream with terror. “Your the bait sweetheart. We need a pretty little girl like you to make sure no cops come in.” He says. I am breathing so hard my head feels light.

Gemini

Jason reacts faster than I ever thought we could, we bust thought the police line. And charge headlong, the gunmen fall flat to me as I put up an eletric shield around me. There bullets not hitting me or Jason as I have them argoed, I repulse of the bullets taking out each of them.

"Jason I got these guys, get your brother." I said.

Alex

Taylor cries out for me and I keep my eyes closed, wincing. My side and chest are on fire, everything else aching. My head spins as I try and blink past the pain. They rip Taylor from me and I open my eyes, finding that they're looking to use her as a hostage. Then something happens and she's dropped.

Jason appears at my side.

Jason

Cursing the whole world mentally, I rush to Alex and slide to the floor at his side. Two gunshot wounds cover his side and the area near his heart. Swallowing, I lean him against me and set either hand on each wound.

"Deep breaths, Alex," I tell him calmly, "I got this. You'll be fine. Just stay awake for me and focus on your...girlfriend."

I motion the girl over and have her sit before him, taking his hands.

"Just keep him focused on you," I order, "Leave everything else to me."

I glance back at Gem for a moment, noticing how well she's handling things, before closing my eyes and bringing up the box in my mind. I focus on it and grimace as the healing process begins, never able to get used to the tugging at my gut.

Taylor

His brother orders me to make him stay focused on me. I force myself to nod. I am in so much shock, but I do as he says.

“Alex please do not leave me.” I say gripping his hand. His hands shake in mine. “Shhhhh lower you heart rate. Deep breaths.” I say. I lean down and gently kiss his forehead. “You are going to be okay, just hang on.” I say through my tears.

Gemini

I didn't give an inch, I put down the gunmen like they were wild beasts that I've fought before. Before I knew it, the gunmen were all dead. I check around the store looking for any others as Jason went to work, I soon join them by there side as I slam my sword into the ground. And Jason healing away.

Alex

I flash a smile at Taylor, the pain lessening with each minute passed. My eyes droop a little, my fatigue hitting me like a slap in the face. I squeeze Taylor's hands and close my eyes, wanting to sleep so bad.

``````````````````
Jason

Someone slams something into the ground and I jump, losing focus. Alex is nearly healed, the wounds just scars, but I can't help feeling like I hadn't finished what I started. I blink a few times and look back at Gemini, finding that she'd finished things as well. Taking a deep breath, I open my mouth to speak before passing out myself from the strain.

Taylor

Alex close his eyes. I touch his face. “No Alex please stay with me. You are all I have right now. You are the only thing that is keeping me here. I do not want to be alone. Please do not leave me.” I bend down to his ear. “I love you.” I whisper.

Gemini

I watch as Jason continues healing Alex, the gunmen are either dead or unconscious. Alex's girlfriend keeps trying to keep Alex awake as Jason finishes healing, and soon Alex's eyes open once more and he says something but I don't hear it, Jason falls into my arms as I watch over him and his brother gets to his feet.

"Will he be alright?" Alex's girlfriend asks.

"Yea he'll be alright this happens when he uses his powers to much." I said.

Alex

Jason releases me and I feel nothing but soreness. He falls back into his wife's arms, unconscious, and I stand, taking Taylor in mine. I don't say anything in response to the powers remark, confused. Looking at Jason, I no longer think things are merely as they seem.

He healed me. So it must be true. I should be dead, not standing and more alive than he is. So..if it is...

"I'm going to take a wild guess and say that I'm not like him, am I?" I say, looking up at his wife, "You and him... That's what he meant by the world I won't understand. I'm not part of it..."

Taylor

Alex takes me in his arms and holds me tight. I wrap my arms around him, so glad he is alive. I wipe the tears from my eye and realize what just happened. Jason healed Alex and I do not see what his wife did, but the gunmen are taken care of. Alex says something about not being part of our world. Everything starts to process, they are not humans. How can that be?

Gemini

"I'm sure as you see, me and Jason are demigods turned full god. Three years ago twleve juggernauts decended on Olympus, three years ago, Olympian gods were one by one defeated by the juggernauts, the heros of your no longer round to aid the gods. Now the tewelve are gods and me and Jason two of the most powerful beings in the world. Capable of the impossible." I said.

I look up and see the disbelief in there eyes as I cradle Jason in my arms as I wait for him to awake once more.

"Jason blamed Apollo, Apollo could have saved Jasons mother. But stood idly by and allowed her to die, now Jason, he is a god he has defeated Apollo and I have defeated my dad. And now we are gods." I said.

Alex

I listen and nod, kissing the top of Taylor's head. He could have saved Mom...

"Could...Could Jason have saved our mother at that age?" I ask, trailing my fingers through Taylor's hair just to feel.

Gemini

"I dunno its hard to tell if he could or not, best to ask him when he comes to." I said.

I soon pull his arm around my neck and soon pick up my sword slinging it onto my back as Alex picks up his other arm, and soon lead him to an inn. I drop the cash on the counter and take a random key, and open the door into the room. We lie him down on the bed, I squat down by his side waiting for him to come to.

Taylor

Alex runs his hand through my hair and kisses the top of my head. As Jason and his wife leave, Alex and I slowly get up. I do not want to hurt him, but I gently hug him. I kiss his lips lightly and take his hand. I try to process what has just happened. All that really matters is that Alex is okay.

Alex

"It's alright," I whisper to Taylor, keeping her close, "I'm okay."

I help Jason's wife bring him to the inn and wait in the room with them for him to wake. He stirs and curls closer to where his wife is, sensing she's there and wanting her closer. His eyes slowly open and focus on all three of us. Taking a deep breath, he looks around.

"Whoa...How did I get here?" he murmurs, running a hand tiredly over his face.
