The Heroes Organization: Marionette

By Captin' Rin and Hazelcats

Prologue
Stella almost wished she hadn’t answered the phone.

Of course, that would’ve only resulted in even more problems, but the day still went on as normal-boring and tiring.

She had been watching her little brother Seth when she’d gotten the call. It had been from one of her father’s assistants-Zeus would never actually take the time to try and talk to his daughter-telling her she had been chosen for an investigation, was to report to Olympus the next day, and other information would be emailed to her immediately. Stella had barely been able to get a word in before the girl had hung up.

“Stellabella!” Seth appeared in front of her as she set the phone down, looking up, excited. “Who was that?”

Stella gave a small, tired smile. “Just a friend, Seth,” she said with a imperceptible sigh. Seth seemed to take this as a good answer, and quickly went back to the tv. Stella grabbed her laptop the moment Seth was, once again, completely occupied with the tv.

Lo and behold, the very first email, only sent moments before, sat on the very top of her inbox. Clicking on it, Stella quickly reviewed the information. It wasn’t much-it told the address she’d be staying at, how she should be on Olympus by four tomorrow morning, and she was not to go anywhere that wasn’t walking distance from the residence she was to stay at.

It had absolutely no information on the actual investigation.

It did, however, contain the details of a fully-paid one-way coach passenger ticket for a 7:30 am flight from Seattle to New York. But despite the rare generosity Olympus had given her, she couldn’t help wonder how hard it would’ve been to get a later flight in first class.
