Notes: This is divided between Danny and Athena's POV. It will be marked when it changes.
Starting the Journey
Athena's POV
Maybe it was chancing it to tell Danny who I was. But like Eddy said, he knew what I was going through. The news seemed to have stunned him because he's not saying anything. Well it had shocked Cameron too when I told him. And Eddy for that matter.
"You're Owen Hart's daughter?" He asked.
"Yes. My name's really Athena. I made up a name and dyed my hair to keep people from finding out who I was. And it's been successful as long as I've been here. Like I said my mother would have a fit if she knew not to mention my whole family. You can't tell anyone. Only you, Cam, and Eddy know."
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone. I understand not wanting people to know. When I was in school people were always talking about it. They asked if I was there. If I ever saw my dad wrestle. Etceteras. I just wished they would shut up sometimes."
"I know how that was. Oje and I went through it too. It continued when I went to college. I was tempted to register under my middle name."
"I thought of doing the same when I entered wrestling. But I do want people to know that he's my father, no offense to you." He blushed.
"None taken." I smiled to lessen the tension. I was used to this but Danny at least cared if I would be offended. Growing up I can't say the same thing about people at my school. He seemed like a nice guy not that I was interested in him that way.
"I've heard stories about your dad and uncles from my 'uncles.'"
I wasn't really sure what to say to that. My Uncle Bret had mentioned the name Chris Benoit a couple of times. I think if memory is correct the last time he did was about his funeral. So I asked instead, "Chad still giving you a hard time?" It was well known that Chad didn't like Danny and vice versa. Chad didn't exactly have a lot of friends at OVW. The trainers didn't like him. He had a bad attitude.
"Yeah but nothing I can't handle."
"Good. I'm going to Angelo's. You going?" I asked.
"No I'm going home and catch some z's. Bye." He said.
I said goodbye and watched him leave. I went to my car.

Danny's POV
When I got back to the apartment I turned the TV on so I could watch the news. The All-New Unsolved Mysteries was on. Wil Wheaton hosts it. I didn't really watch it often but I usually caught the end of it. The story caused me to sit down. There was a picture of my dad on the screen with several other pictures I didn't quite recognize.
"Was it truly accidents that killed Chris Benoit, Steve Austin and Owen Hart? We may not know. Too many accidents in the ring such as what happened to Matt Hardy. And the disappearance of the owner's son and daughter in law. Is the World Wrestling Entertainment company cursed or is it just a bunch of coincidences? Maybe we'll never know. Until next time this is Wil Wheaton and thank you for watching Unsolved Mysteries."
What the hell? I thought after seeing that. Something was going on. I knew one thing though.
I needed to know what happened to my dad. And I know just the person to talk to.
