Ask or Dare Lady Athena

Dare - #74

Elle: Are you busy?

Athena: Uh, no. Why? *closes her laptop and puts her glasses down*

Elle: Cesar98vazquez wants you to watch all the Spider-Man movies.

Athena: Even Toby and Andrew's, right?

Elle: I guess so.

Athena: *hums* I guess it's about time to do a marathon and finish it. I haven't watched Far From Home and No Way Home yet.

Elle: *gasps* You what?

Athena: *rolls her eyes* Calm down, dear. They're just movies.

*later*

Elle: *slowly walks into the kitchen and clears her throat*

Artemis, Apollo, and Hermes: *turn to look at her*

Hermes: Elle! I was just about to find you and Ena.

Elle: Yeah... about her.

Hermes: *stands up* What's going on?

Artemis: Is she bashing Ares' head again?

Elle: *shakes her head*

Apollo: Oh! Zeus?

Elle: Worse.

Hermes: *looks worried* Elle! What is it?

Elle: She's crying.

Hermes: She's what?

Artemis: Athena doesn't cry.

Elle: *stares at them*

Artemis, Apollo, and Hermes: *stare at each other and run to Athena's room*

Athena: *curled up in a blanket, watching No Way Home in her laptop, and blowing her nose on a tissue*

Hermes: *takes a step towards her* Ena? You okay -

Athena: *throws popcorn at him* Shh! Peter's gonna introduce himself to MJ and Ned again!

Artemis, Apollo, and Hermes: *blink*

Athena: Wait! No! No! No! No! What's going on, why isn't he saying anything? Peter! Come on! WHAT? NO!

Hermes: *hands her a tissue*

Apollo: *leans over and watches with Athena* AUNT MAY? AUNT MAY'S DEAD?!

Artemis: *whispers to Hermes* Who?

Hermes: *simply looks at her in disbelief*

Athena: *watches the remaining scenes before reaching out to Hermes and sobbing*

Hermes: *hugs her tight and rubs her back soothingly*

Apollo: I don't understand how any of this could've happened but this is so sad! *starts crying into Artemis' shoulder*

Artemis: *tries to push him away before sighing and patting his back*
