"No she has to. I can't lose her again. No, she can't die. Not again, not after what we did to bring her back. I swear I can't go on with out her, not again. It was so hard last time I cant go through that again. No I love her too much to let her die again. " Archie shouted through the tears that began to run freely form his sapphire eyes. The hysterical descendant of Achilles ran over to his friend's body, she looked so peaceful.

"Archie you must leave." Chiron said calmly. Archie glared at the centaur and ran off.

"Someone go after him!" Odie instructed, blinking back tears.

"No don't!" Theresa shouted through her softly falling tears, she flung an arm out to stop her conscious teammates. "He needs to be alone, he needs to think."

"Theresa's right, we should go back to the brownstone." Jay instructed putting an arm around his softly sobbing girlfriend. Theresa buried her face in Jay polo shirt and let herself cry freely. Jay softly kissed her hair and shifted so he could carrier her piggyback style. Theresa smiled; Jay almost always knew what she needed.

It was getting late; the sun was almost set over New Olympia. Theresa sighed, Archie was had not returned yet. He had been gone for three and a half hours, longer than she had thought. She got up from the couch where she had been cuddling with Jay and trying to watch a movie.

Despite her own instructions she was going to go after Archie. And for once she knew that he would be in one of three places, the library, the gym, or Chiron's study. And lucky for her they were all in one building, the hide out of the ancient Greek gods and goddesses.

"Where you going?" Jay asked sleepily.

"For a walk, I need to clear my head." Theresa lied. The red haired beauty grabbed her sweater from her room; it was the same color as her tank top and her car keys.

Theresa paused outside the gym in the gods and goddesses hide out. She heard no noise and kept going. Chiron's study was silent as well, the door was open slightly but Theresa could not bring herself to go in.

She opened the heavy oak doors to the library slowly, making sure that the hinges did not squeak. She could hear the muffled sound of crying. Cat like quietly Theresa walked over to the corner of the room the sound was coming from.

"Archie?" She called softly.

"Go away Theresa!" Came Archie muffled reply. From the sound of his quiet and raspy voice Theresa could tell that he had been crying for some time.

"She is going to be fine." Theresa tried to reassure.

"No, what if she is not? I heard Chiron talking o Hera, he said that her chances were fifty- fifty. Theresa I swear I can't lose her again. Theresa she wrote me a letter, she said she loved me. And you know how much I love her. If she goes again I go." Archie said a new set of tears increasing his hysteria.

Theresa could tell how much pain he was in. She had no clue how to react. Archie had just told her that he was ready to commit suicide should Atlanta die again. This last week had really changed their friendship they were much closer. Instinct took over and she sat down beside her hysterical friend and put a comforting arm around him.

Archie was confused normally he would have done something to prevent her action. They did not have the best of relationships, but he could tell that now they were closer. And her action was acceptable. That was what he loved about Theresa; she never gave up on her friends and always came back for you. She always did her best and then some. When all else failed you Theresa would be there.

Archie allowed himself to lean into Theresa as he cried. He could not believe he was letting her see him in his state, Atlanta had never even seen him in this state. He knew that should someone else walk into the room he would never live it down. (a/n I have been in a situation much like this, except we were both crying, there were other people in the room who were crying just as hard and our friend was just moving. We are still getting 'you would make such a cute couple' comments.) Before long Archie put an arm around Theresa and she was sobbing to.

Archie woke up and rubbed his eyes. He noticed Theresa sound asleep on his shoulder; his hoodie was wet so he knew she had been crying, hard by the looks of things. Archie yawned and realized how tired he still was. Before long he was back asleep.

Jay walked into the kitchen. Old pizza boxes and Chinese food boxes littered the counter space. Glasses and cutlery were over flowing form the sink. No one had felt like cleaning over the past week and Athena had been spending a lot of time at the school.

Jay proceed to pour himself a cup of coffee and clean up the kitchen. He saw Odie teaching Herry a new video game in the living room and could hear Neil singing in the shower. He had not seen Theresa or Archie yet, but it was still relatively early. And if he knew Archie he was already at the school and Theresa was probably still asleep. The spell had taken a lot out of her.

An hour and a garbage bag later Jay noticed that Theresa was not up yet and he was sure that Archie was already at the school. 'Strange' he thought 'this is much later than Theresa normally sleeps'.

"Children" Hera called from the front hall. Jay walked over and noticed that he was the last one. They were all nervous; Hera had never come to the dorm house before.

"Where are Theresa and Archie?" Hera asked calmly.

"We think Archie is already at the school and Theresa is still asleep." Odie answered.

"I'll go wake Theresa." Jay said noticing the look of disappointment on Hera's face.

Jay wandered down the hall and up the stairs towards Theresa's bedroom. He knocked on the door, no one answered. He opened it slowly to notice that she was not asleep, nor was she even in the room. He sweater was gone and so were her car keys.

"Theresa's not here." Jay reported as he got back to the front hall, there was hint of worry in his voice.

"She is probably at the school already. Her cars gone as well." Herry said looking out the window to the driveway.

"Good, good. Now please come with me. Atlanta is asking to see you." Hera said as calmly as she could, but the titans could sense a hint of glee in her voice.

'She is going to make it?" Neil asked.

"Yes she is going to be fine." Hera said (a/n ok come on you actually thought I would kill her? Again. No thought so.)

"She is going to make it, she is going to make it." Herry and Odie chanted as they both jumped into the air.

"Come on, what are we waiting for. We can get Archie and Theresa on the way!" Herry said as he grabbed the keys to his truck and Hera disappeared.

"You must see her one at a time, she is still weak." Hera said calmly meeting the titans at the door to Chiron's study.

"Neil she wants to see you first." Chiron said poking his head out of his study. Neil went in silently.

"I'll go and try and find Archie and Theresa. You want to help Herry." Jay said.

"Sure." Herry replied as Odie sat down and pulled out his laptop. "You want to help Odie?" Herry asked.

"Nah, Atlanta will kick Neil out of there in about five minutes he will be so annoying to her. I'll let you guys know who she wants to see next."

"Alright then. Herry you want to search the gym? I'll look in the library." Jay instructed in more of a statement than a question.

"Sure."

Jay wandered down the hall to the library, listening hard for any noise. He opened the door to the library door quietly. As he stepped in he could see a bit of Archie's hair in between the bookshelves. The descendant of Jason made his way over to where he could see Archie's hair.

What he saw shocked him.

Archie was cuddling with Theresa. They were both asleep. Jay felt sheer rage run through his veins. How could Archie? How could Theresa?

"You just had to have every girl on this team didn't you Arch? You had to, having Atlanta in love with you just was not enough, and you had to have Theresa to. And Theresa how could you? Is this were you sneak off to too think? To clear your head!" Jay yelled at the top of his lungs.

Archie and Theresa slowly woke up and rubbed their eyes. "Oh shit." Archie mumbled as he looked at the position he and Theresa had ended up in. He had his arm around her shoulders and she had her head resting on his chest.

"Its not what it looks like!" Theresa said defending herself as she pulled away from Archie. Archie to moved away.

"Is it not now!" Jay said sheer anger and rage in his voice.

"We just fell asleep. We were both upset." Archie pleaded.

"I swear Jay nothing happened." Theresa pleaded; she had never seen their leader so angry. Jay looked into Theresa and Archie's bloodshot eyes; all he saw was honesty and the after math of thousands of cried tears.

"I believe you." Jay said at last. Theresa jumped up and wrapped her arms around her boyfriend and kissed him. Forgetting Archie was in the room, their tongues began to dance an extravagant dance.

"Ach hem." Archie coughed.

"Oh right. Atlanta wants to see us. Hera says that she will make it, but she is still weak and can only see us one at a time. " Jay spat out in a rush. A look came over Theresa and Archie's face like he had just told them that they had inherited the world. The two paused for a moment to take in the information and then bolted to Chiron's study.
