Jay poured the coffee into two large mugs. He made sure not to spill and put sugar and milk in his, while leaving the one set for Atlanta black.

She walked into the kitchen. "Thanks, why don't you come sit with us, you shouldn't worry about Theresa, she'll be fine," she said reassuringly.

Jay did not nod nor speak; he just gave her the coffee, grabbed a cracker, and followed reluctantly.

He had refused to come back to the dorm because he wanted to stay by Theresa no matter what, but Herry and Odie persuaded him to come and said there was nothing he could do so Jay decided to join them for a while.

Jay and Atlanta walked into the living room, there was a tension in the air that was thicker than ice, and it hovered in the room like fog.

"I just hope Arch is okay, wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him, just as you two were about to go on your first and most needed date," Herry sighed and slumped into the big couch.

Neil took a sip of his energy drink and jumped into his armchair, where he usually resided. Jay and Atlanta took their spots beside Herry, while Odie sat on the floor with his laptop, typing like a madman.

Atlanta held her cup in both hands and curled her knees into her chest. "Well it wasn't really a date… I mean Archie's just a friend, and anyways you said you weren't hungry," she retorted to Herry's statement.

Herry looked at the ground, "Well it's about time you two got together because we all know you two like each other, just like Jay is crazy about Theresa."

Jay was staring at the wall, but upon hearing this, he snapped right back out of his daydream. "What are you talking about Herry? I- I, well, like Theresa as a friend, just like all of you."

"So does that mean she's up for grabs then?" Neil said leaning towards Jay.

"Neil, don't talk about her like that," Jay said in defense. "I know for a fact that she would rather be interested in a twig than you!"

Neil smiled and put his hands around the back of his head for support. "I just proved that you are in love with her, nobody is that defensive unless they really like someone." He sighed and muttered, "I am good," before closing his eyes.

"I'll give him street credit for this, that's for sure. I move him up the list before Odie," Herry whispered in Atlanta's ear and she grinned, suppressing a laugh.

"Ha, ha, ha," Odie said sarcastically. "At least I have a girl for me, and she cares a lot about me. I can visit her anytime I want, she is immortal you know, unlike your girlfriend. Oh wait, you don't have a girl do you Herry?"

Atlanta and Neil snorted in laughter and even Jay let a small laugh escape.

Herry crossed his arms, "Hey! I actually had three girls following me, and they were brought in by my charm and looks," he said triumphantly.

"If you're referring to the Sirens, that really doesn't count. For one thing, they attracted you and almost got you destroyed by Cronus' time traveling, so no Herry, your woman still hasn't come has she?" Odie said with a quaint smile.

Herry frowned and grabbed a magazine to read while the rest of them let out laughs and Neil even managed to fall on the floor grabbing his sides.

Jay smiled and felt that the mood just lightened around them.

Suddenly the door opened and someone entered.

The four stopped and Jay quickly stood up and pulled out his retractable sword, while Herry rolled his magazine, Neil jumped behind the couch, and Atlanta curled her hands into fists.

"Who's there?" Jay demanded.

Then the figure emerged from the shadows, his purple hair shone in the light. He smiled, looking at Atlanta. He wore his blue hoodie and shorts, the golden brace around his right ankle.

"A-Archie?" Atlanta stammered and lowered her fists, while Neil peered over the couch and Jay retracted his blue sword.

Archie's smile widened and he opened his arms. "I'm so glad to be back," he said to her.

Without hesitation, Atlanta ran into Archie's arms and felt them close around her. She felt tears fall down her face and she pushed her cheek into his chest as he rested his head on top of hers.

"I- I t-thought… you w-were… gone… f-forever," she said between gasps of breath as she wept.

"I didn't think I would make it back, I'm so happy to be home," he said and squeezed her closer.

The three others ran and were cheering, patting him on the back and Jay thought to himself, Archie's back, the gods must be in favour of us. I just know Theresa will get better now!

(Narrator: Wait…. What? Archie? What's going on???)

Two hours earlier…

Archie laid face first on the ground, soaking wet, with all of his muscles aching. His breaths sharp and harsh, his lungs still felt as though he was under water, craving air.

He had been put under water a total of ten times, the longest he was under was forty seconds and Archie was still surprised to see that he was alive, he had never been able to hold his breath for more that twenty seconds, especially when he couldn't stand water.

But now, he lay barely conscious, no bonds to keep him back, no tape over his mouth and no strength left to fight for his freedom.

Agnon, and the other two giants stood around him, watching him cling to life for as long as he could.

The only thing Archie was thankful for was the knowledge that Atlanta was safe and unharmed, protected by Jay, Odie, Herry, and maybe Neil.

Then, through blurry vision, Archie saw a black hole appear. He squinted as Cronus came out, but he was not alone this time.

"My gosh, Cronus, what have you done to this boy?" Said a voice, unknown to Archie.

"Only the things necessary," he heard Cronus' voice.

Archie groaned, trying to get the words out, but nothing came, so he remained quiet as footsteps approached him. He felt all eyes on him.

"Pick him up Agnon," Cronus demanded to the giant.

Agnon reached down, put his hands beneath Archie's underarms and lifted him up so that Archie looked like he was almost standing.

Archie felt the normal pain, but did not have the energy to cry out. He looked at the man standing beside Cronus, he could barely make him out, but he recognized this person from somewhere.

"Is this the boy you want me to impersonate?" The man asked looking Archie directly in the eyes. "I can do it, but I guess I shall have to get rid of the scratches and bruises?"

When Archie heard the voice, he knew where he had seen this man before.

He lifted his head off his own shoulders and with all the force he could, he spoke silently. "Aren't you Peri-, Peric-…" he stopped as the man finished for him.

"Yes, I am Periclymenus, I knew your ancestor Achilles," Periclymenus said, his voice soft and gentle, which made Archie wonder why he would want to help Cronus.

"W-what…d-do… y-you…" but Archie could not finish and he let his head fall limp on his shoulders once again.

Periclymenus showed sympathy in his eyes, but the rest of his face looked solidified in anger and Archie suspected he wanted something from Cronus.

"Will I be needing one of those?" Periclymenus said as he looked down to the brace that was secure on Archie's right ankle. He even bent down and tapped the gold, which made a high-pitched ting sound.

Cronus had almost forgotten about the Achilles ankle. "Yes and remember that if you get hit on that ankle, you must feel pain, though it may not be there. That is very important do not forget," he said as he too examined the gold.

"So, do you have one for me?" Periclymenus asked, standing up.

Cronus frowned. "We might have to improvise, that is no ordinary brace, it is one of a kind and I do not think there are any others like it. Hmm… we'll just have to use his," Cronus smirked.

Periclymenus raised his eyebrow, but nodded.

Cronus grabbed the brace and started to pull as Archie held back his cries and let the pain continue.

"It won't budge," Cronus said, letting a huge breath of air out in exasperation.

Periclymenus shifted nervously. "Well, I know a way to get it off… here," he said and motioned for the giant to put Archie on the ground. "You might want to hold him, this is probably going to hurt."

Great, more pain. Archie thought and braced himself. He knew that this would hurt the most, since his ankle was the weakest point of him.

Just as Archie was expecting shooting pain, he swore he heard "I'm sorry," muttered from Periclymenus, and Archie tried to sit up to see if it had actually happened.

But before he could try and find out, Periclymenus curled his hand into a fist and brought it down hard on the brace, which immediately shattered.

"Ahh!" Archie could bear it no longer and cried out in agony. He felt like a thousand blood vessels had burst and as he screamed the pain shot throughout his poor body.

"Agnon! Shut him up!" Cronus yelled to the giant.

The cry was muffled as Agnon placed a large hand over Archie's mouth, who was thrashing violently, blind from the pain.

Periclymenus shut his eyes tight. "Please Cronus, help this poor boy!"

Cronus looked at him suspiciously, narrowing his eyes.

"Do it! Or I won't help you!" Periclymenus threatened and stood taller so Cronus had to look up at him.

Cronus growled and pulled out a bottle of light green liquid, then threw it at Agnon, and said, "Let him drink it."

Agnon opened it and shoved it in Archie's mouth.

Archie gagged but had no choice but to drink it, or he would drown if too much liquid came into his lungs, and he wasn't even underwater.

The young hero soon stopped struggling and felt his arms and legs go limp. But he also did not feel any pain. He was grateful to Periclymenus and happy that he could breath without his lungs deflating. Whatever Cronus gave him, numbed him so he could lay in peace.

"There, that will help… now, what are we going to do about this?" Cronus asked and looked at the shattered gold brace in pieces on the concrete.

Periclymenus smiled. "This is where you come in, my friend. You can repair wounds yes? Repair this as though it was a injury."

Cronus smiled as well. Periclymenus was very smart and Cronus was thankful to have such a talented partner. He bent down, waved his hand over the pieces, and waited.

Sure enough, the gold bits started to move closer together, locking and intertwining, forming the brace.

"Perfect," Periclymenus said and picked up the newly formed brace. He quickly slipped it on and felt it lock around his right ankle.

Cronus folded his arms impatiently, "Hurry up, we need this to happen fast," he said rushed.

Periclymenus nodded and took one last look at Archie. Then, he closed his eyes.

A black ball surrounded Periclymenus and clung to his skin, as it had done when he was a rabbit. He became smaller, and had less physique. His hair grew back into his head and into a mow hawkish type of haircut. His facial features disappeared and Archie's cheekbones appeared.

The black over layer of skin disappeared and the real Archie stared up at himself, standing there, a cloth over his lower half.

Cronus grinned, "You look just like him," he said. "Now we need to get you replica's of his clothes," and with that Cronus pulled out an identical blue hoodie and shorts. "Wear these, and you'll have them fooled with no problem."

The fake-Archie smiled and took the clothes, while the real-Archie stared in horror.

Cronus held up a picture of Atlanta. "Remember, this young girl is the most important thing to you and you love her. Make sure you stay by her side a lot. But, when you get the chance, give this girl…" he held up another picture, but this time of Theresa, "… a shot of this," and he pulled out a syringe filled with an ominous purple viscous liquid.

Periclymenus studied the imaged and took the syringe. "Not a problem," he said and both men laughed. "Just remember to keep your part of the bargain."

Cronus nodded and they both turned and left the warehouse.

Archie's eyes widened. They're going to kill Theresa! He thought but didn't speak, as Agnon bound his hands and feet, but left his mouth.

Fear swarmed over Archie's heart as he thought of Atlanta and how soon she would be in a stranger's arms, not knowing that he was plotting against them all.

(Narrator: Ooooh I see!)

Present time back at the heroes' dorm…

Atlanta was gripping the fake-Archie tightly and he returned her bone-crushing hug. Cheering and laughter filled the house.

No one suspected anything, and no one saw the syringe in the back of his pocket.

Phew, sorry if this one was a bit long, felt long to me.

Anywho I hope you enjoyed it but now I'm going to give you readers some info.

Okay so Periclymenus was an Argonaut who fought with Jason when they were sailing and all that jazz. Periclymenus had the gift to be able to change into animals and was a shapeshifter. He was killed by Heracles (not Hercules) in the end.

Alright now here is where I come to the point. I am twisting this so Periclymenus is able to change into anything and I am changing a lot (like the fact that he was killed).

It's just my long A/N, sorry if I bored you and I hope you don't mind that I changed a few things.

Hope you're enjoying the story and keep reading if you like it!

Peace! Will update soon!
