“Ow! That stings.” Christopher complained.

“Oh man up.” Theresa spat.

Will Solace was tending to the giant bruise on his forehead. He pushed an ice-pack against the bruise. Theresa had brought him to the big house and she had called on the help of the blond, surfer dude.

“Picking a fight on the first day of camp huh? With Ares’s kids no less, they’re not going to let that go you know.” Will said.

Christopher held up the ice-pack himself. “I’ll just beat them up again.”

“Famous last words; move the ice-pack.” Christopher put his hand down and Will applied some cream to the bruise.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Sure.” Theresa took the ice-pack from Christopher and put it to his head.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Will packed up the medical equipment. “Don’t go picking anymore fights alright? You may have more durability than a mortal but you’re not invisible.”

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Don’t worry about it. Go ahead and shoot with a bent stick.” Christopher shooed Will away.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">“We’re children of ancient Greek gods but we’re not ancient enough to use wood for our bows you know?” Will frowned before he left.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">“What do they use for bows anyway?” Christopher inquired.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Theresa shrugged. “Beats me.” She pressed the ice-pack on his forehead. “Anything else that hurts?”

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">“I don’t know, my lips are a bit sore.” He teased.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Haha.” Theresa shoved the ice-pack on his mouth. “There you go, all better.”

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">“You are a piece of work you know?” Christopher smiled.

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">“A good way or bad way?”

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Depends.”

<p style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:16.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">“On what?”

<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">Christopher stood up and closed the distance between them.
