"Have we found her?" said Cronus. He was sitting at the head chair on the council table. To his right was Zeus and Zeus's wife, Hera and his left was Hades and Poseidon. In front of them kneeling was three young members, two men and a woman each in there late teens.

"Yes, sir. She just past Mars a hour ago," said the man. His black hair was slicked back and his suit was nicely pressed. The sword on his back was so polished it shined in the light.

"Good. I want you three to go after them. When you found them, shot them down."

"Yes, sir," all three said as they got up and left the room.

"Are you think it's smart sending them?" asked Zeus.

"Yes. Unlike the first three, they won't do anything stupid or leave us. Aries, Aphrodite, and Hermes will obey my ever command."

"Or you sure?" Poseidon asked.

"Of course, I'm sure. My daughter will keep the other two in line."

"That what you thought of your sister and looked where that gave us," Hera said.

"My sister was foolish. Hermes messed with her head and Aries was blind. Besides they want revenge on Apollo anyway."

(

"When we went to earth we met a group of kids that were obsessed with space ships," said Apollo, "and thought it was cool that we could actually pilot a space ship. They took us in and showed use a design for a ship. We decided to help them out and look what we made."

"This is the ship you guys made," Detective Johnson said.

"Yes."

"Move a little to the left, Apollo," said a thirteen year old boy with an over-sized baseball jersey and a backward cap. His named was Sam. He was the one that drew the plans for the ship, but everyone told him what to draw.

"Okay," Apollo said as started to paint the ships numbers and name in a white paint. It took about a hour to completely complete paint it.

"It's done," said a twelve year old girl named Carmen. She was the computer expert of the group. She made Jet and all the whole system.

"Yes, it is," said Ben, a fourteen year old boy who was the leader of the group.

"The ship worked perfectly as you can tell, but they never used it that much because only a month after we finished it, the council found Artemis and me."

"Artemis and Apollo, you can't hide forever," said Aries as he walked in the hanger bay they used as a home.

"Stay quiet," Artemis whispered to everyone. They were hiding in a closet the was hidden by a group of boxes in front of it.

"Ready, Artemis," Apollo said as she took out her gun.

"Ready," she replied as she took out her sword from behind a box in the closet.

"What are you going to do?" Carmen asked.

"Stay here and be very quiet. Aries will kill you if he know you're here," said Apollo as she opened the door. Artemis and her walked out and shut the door.

Apollo signaled Artemis to go around the hanger bay to get behind Aries. Artemis nodded her head and waited until Aries wasn't looking they way and made a run for it. As Artemis was on the other side of the building behind some other boxes, Apollo started firing at Aries.

"So there you are Apollo," he said as he loaded his gun, "If you come out, I won't kill you. I promise."

"I whither die than go back the council," Apollo replied as she fired some more shots.

"If you feel that way," he said as he took out his uzi a fired at the boxes Apollo was behind making her lose her hiding place.

She ran to behind some crates, as Artemis came up behind Aries as was about to strike when someone grabbed her, but she just flipped the person and thrust her sword into his heart then pulling it out.

"So you trying to sneak up on me, my sweet daughter," Aries said as he aimed her gun at her. Apollo took that moment to shot his hand making him drop the gun.

"Bitch," he said as held pressure against the wound.

"Want me to end your pain, daddy?" Artemis said as she held her sword against his throat.

"Do it," said Apollo as she walked towards them.

"You think I'm stupid don't you," he said, "But I'm not. If you want your friends to live, you let me go."

Artemis and Apollo looked to the closet and saw three men holding Ben, Carmen, and Sam in their arms with a gun on their heads.

"Leave now," Artemis said as she put down her sword.

Two of the men dropped Ben and Sam, but one kept Carmen.

"Let her go," Apollo said.

"We keeping her, so you guys don't do anything silly like trying to shot us when we leave," Aries replied.

The three guys and Aries with Carmen left.

"They took her. It's your fault," said Ben in anger, "Who are you two?"

"We used to be members of the Council of the Geeks," said Artemis.

"We don't want you here and take the ship with you. We don't want anything to remember you by."

"We can't take it. It's been your dream for years. We can't do that."

"Take it and leave!"

"If that the way you want it."

"We took the ship and never saw them every again."

"What happen to Carmen?" Detective Johnson asked.

"I don't know. Probably killed her."

"That's sad."

"Most of my life is, so get use to it if you want to hear it."

"There're three ships on our tails, Apollo," said Jet.

"Who are they?"

"The council by the looks of them."

"SHIT! WARRANT!"

"What?" Warrant said as he walked into the room.

"It's the council. They found us."

They ran into the cockpit and sat down.

"Put that helmet on. It will link you to a gun," she said as she put on her helmet.

He picked it up and put on. Then a joystick came up in front of both of them and each grabbed it. Apollo started firing at the three approaching ships, but Warrant hesitated.

"What are you waiting for, shot!" Apollo said.

"How do you know they want to kill us?" Warrant asked.

"This is the council. They want us dead. So start firing!"

"Okay."

Then the tv turned on and the one they now call Aries appeared on the screen.

"Why are your firing without knowing what we want?" he said.

"I know what you want," Apollo replied.

"And what is that?"

"You want us dead."

"True, but I want to kill face to face not in a space battle."

"Good that you have priorities."

"Unlike you, you soulless bitch."

"How do dare you call me soulless? You don't now me."

"I know you all to well. I see you on earth. I will say hello to your children for you."

"Bastard. If you lay one hand of my kids, I will make sure you go to hell."

"No, you're the one going."

"Sorry, I already been there and nothing there can do anything to me because what I experience in my life is far worst."

"You haven't see nothing. When I met you on earth I'm making you pay in blood."

Then the tv turned off.

"Shit. I'm so glad I had Harry go there. Come on we need to put this in hyper-mode. On my count switch on those three switches then push that button."

"Okay."

"Jet get ready to go to hyper mode in 3...2...1."

In unison, they did what Apollo told Warrant to do and in seconds they were flying faster than the speed of light.

"Come on we need to prepared to kill and to get kill. It would be a day at this speed to get to earth," she said.

"Okay," Warrant replied.

They ran into the living room to get Detective Johnson.

"We need to get loaded up, because once we hit Earth, we going to defend ourselves," Apollo said.

"Why?" Detective Johnson asked.

"The council will be there."

"Oh."

"I need to go to the weapon room."

"I didn't see any weapon room in here."

"It's hidden very well. Follow me."

They followed her to her bedroom door. She took off the thermostat and pushed some numbers in the keyboard that was under it. Then a door opened up and she walked. In it was hundreds of different guns and swords. Apollo walked up to a sword with dry blood over it in the middle of the room ran her hand lightly over it.

"This was my sister most prized sword," Apollo said as she picked it up, "She loved it dearly. Many were killed by it including my sister. The blood of on it is from her heart. If I die, I want to be by this sword, but I will be foolish to hope for it. I will die by a gun."

"You can be depressing at times, you know," Warrant said.

"I can't help it. Anyway, take want you want. You'll need it."

"Apollo tell me the rest of your story," Detective Johnson said.

"Okay. My sister and I became bounty hunters. One of the best in the matter of months, but the council was always interfering and when I was fifteen, Aries came after me personally."

Apollo was in the bathroom of there small apartment on Earth. She was laying in the bathtub washing the world off. Her sister was off doing something or other. The door opened, but Apollo didn't hear it because the music she was listening to was too loud and her eyes were close, so she didn't see anyone. Then she felt a hand over her mouth and stared into Aries' eyes. She started to struggle, but he just lift her up from the tub. He threw her on her bed in the her room and her head hit the headboard. Before she could get up, Aries pinned her done.

"Stop it," she yelled, "Leave me alone."

"I will have you bitch," he said as he slapped her. Then he took a gun out and put it to her head.

"Kill me. I don't care."

He just pressed his lips roughly against hers but she just bit it. It just made him hit her again. Then he went to her breast and pushed his lips against them. He took off his clothes and forced himself into her. She struggled the whole time, but at the end she had no more energy and Aries had his way with her.

"I'll be back tonight to take you to my home, so be pack," he said as he put his clothes back on.

He left and Artemis found her sister crying naked in the corner of her room.

"What happened?" Artemis asked.

"Aries raped me," Apollo replied as tears fell rapidly from her eyes.

"That bastard."

"He's coming back to take me."

"Over my die body. Pack your stuff we'll leaving."

"My sister acted a lot older than her age. She was my protector in my early teens. I don't know how I survived without her. I would of killed myself that day, if she wasn't there for me. Aries took something most precious to me, my virginity. I had his daughter 9 months later. I was sixteen then and was scarred from the experience. I never was touch by another man until I was seventeen. Dallas Jones was two year older and an expert hacker for that reason, he had a bounty on his head. My sister and I decided to go after him. At first he was just money to me, but when I met him and got to know him, I went head over heels in love with him."

"You're not as tough as people think you are," Dallas said. He was handcuffed to a pole in the engine room and it was Apollo turn to watch him.

"What?" she replied.

"You may look and act tough, but you're not. Your fragile and should be handled with the best of care."

"You saying I'm like a doll."

"No, a rose, beautiful and delegate."

He took his free hand and placed in on Apollo's. Then he brought it to his lips and softly kissed it. Apollo pulled away her hand.

"You're frighten. A guy hurt you in your past. He made the act of love evil and hurtful, didn't he?"

"Stop it."

"It's true, isn't it?"

"Shut-up."

"I will never hurt you."

"I said shut-up."

He took her hand again and pulled her to him. His lips met her and softly and passionately kissed them. He was the one that release from the kiss and his hand went to her face. She liked his touch. He was soft and gentle. She decided to take the handcuff off him.

"Make love to me," she whisper in his ear.

"Is that what you want?" he replied.

"Yes."

"My sister wasn't that mad that we didn't turn him in. She was happy for me that I found love and Dallas did prove to be very useful to us. He knowledge of hacking was very useful to found the bounties. It was awhile until I told him about my past and his reaction was surprising to me."

"Dallas, I need you to hack into something for me," Apollo said as she put her arms around him.

"What do I get in return?" he replied.

"This," she said as she sat on his lap. She started to kiss him and moved down to his neck then stop, "You'll get the rest of it after you hack into what I want."

Then she got up and return behind him with her arms around him.

"Okay, who did you want me to hack into?" he asked.

"The Council of the Greeks' files," she replied.

"This is going to be a challenge."

"But you like challenge."

"Indeed I do."

Dallas started typing on his computer, trying to hack into the files. It took about thirty minutes to do so.

"There, what do you want from it?" he asked.

"Go to members and type in hell twins in the search," she said.

"Okay. Got it. Shit, I need other password."

"Cerebus in the password."

"Or you sure?"

"If I know them, I'm sure."

"Okay."

He type it in and got in. The file was Apollo's and Artemis'.

"I see what you're doing," he said, "But I already knew you and your sister were in the council."

"How?" Apollo asked.

"By Sister Rachel."

"How would a nun know?"

"A long time ago, she asked me to get in this same file."

"But why would a nun want to know about us?"

"A mother always wants to know what is happening to her children."

"Wait are you saying that you knew my mother, Aphrodite."

"Yes. Her real name is Rachel Owen."

"Do you know where she is?"

"Yes. She's still working at the orphanage on Venus."

"All this time my mother was a nun. I could never picture her as one as what I have been told and read about her. Take me to her."

"Of course, my love."

"He took my sister and I to my mother and she was looked like the picture I seen of her a long time ago, but older. She told me everything about our birth and why she left us with Aries."

"Why did she?" Detective Johnson asked.

"She had too. To keep herself safe and stopped being hunted. She knew we could bear it and we did. We told her about our lives and Artemis was the one to tell her about my daughter from Aries. It was too painful for me to talk about and she understood. I asked her if she knew where my father is, but she didn't know. The last she saw him, he was sleeping in the bed they shared together, but I promised her if I find him, I will tell her. Can I stop now? I'm tired. I need to sleep."

"Okay. Warrant take her to her room."

"Yes sir," Warrant replied.

They left the room and went into her room, where she just laid on her bed, not undressing into her pajamas and Warrant didn't bother handcuffing her. He sat in the chair and try to go to sleep. When Apollo thought Warrant was asleep, she started to cry. The memories were coming too painful for her and the thought of what happens next in her life made her cry even more. Then she felt someone sitting on her bed and felt their hand on her arm.

"Are you okay?" she heard Warrant ask her.

"No," she replied as sat up and held him in her arms.

"Just cry Apollo. Let it all out."

She took the advice and cried for a hour in Warrant's safe arms. She fell asleep in them, so he gentle laid her back down and when he got up, she grabbed his arm.

"Stay in the bed with me," she said, "It's a lot more comfortable here than on the chair."

"I don't know," he replied.

"I need you. I won't try to get fresh with you, I promise. Just hold me in your arms, that all I need."

"I still don't know."

"Please."

"Okay."
