To answer a review from a guest, I probably won't go too much into Reyna and Hylla's backstory other than a few mentions here or there.

I hope everyone enjoys the chapter.

Reyna took a deep breath as she stared up at city hall. She wanted to walk inside, but her legs wouldn't let her. Reyna felt conflicted and confused about almost everything. The only thing she was clear on was the fact that she needed to make up for what she had done. Somehow, Reyna had to help the Olympians stop Hades.

But, who was left after all of that? Were any of the Olympians still alive? Was it just the kids? Would they accept Reyna, or would they think she was a traitor? Reyna took a deep breath and tried to calm her thoughts down. She reached up to open the door to city hall. It opened in front of her.

"Reyna," Minerva greeted. Reyna stared at her former teacher. The mind reader studied her with a small frown. If Minerva looked surprised to see her, she didn't say a word. Did Minerva forgive her for what happened last time? Reyna had been forced to subdue Minerva with a piper, and she never had time to apologize for doing it. "Hylla."

"How many are still alive?" Hylla asked quiet;y. She gripped Reyna's shoulder. Reyna tensed and pulled away from her sister. She was still upset from her sister trying to choke her into unconsciousness and then take her away from Olympian Plains.

"Not many," Minerva answered. She motioned for them to follow. "Come."

Reyna slowly followed Minerva inside. She saw that there was no normal workers around. It seemed like they had all been sent home, probably until all of this was over. Reyna took a shaky breath and followed Minerva deeper into city hall.

They finally stopped outside of a door. Minerva spoke, "Only two Titans survived. They are here as well. Stay behind me."

"Will they be hostile?" Hylla asked. She glanced at Reyna. "I know you didn't leave on the best terms."

"I'm sure they won't be happy to see me," Reyna muttered. She rubbed her arm and sighed in nervousness. Hylla looked like she was going to grab her again, but she hesitated. "Let's just get this over with."

The three of them stepped into the room. Reyna found herself immediately stopping and staring. Oceanus was standing across the room and had his arms at his side. Upon seeing Reyna, he tensed and swore up and down. His companion, Theia, slowly looked at her.

"You little bitch," Oceanus snapped. He stepped forward. Minerva stepped in front of Reyna. Hylla grabbed Reyna and pulled her backwards. "That is the bitch who betrayed us. She told Hades where we were!"

"He followed me," Reyna muttered. She slowly looked at her friends. All of them were staring at her. She tried to meet their eyes. After being gone for so long, this all felt weird. She felt sick to her stomach. Reyna looked down and closed her eyes tightly.

"We have to work together if we want to survive this," Minerva said. "That is the reason you two came here, is it not?"

"We can start our survival by wiping out a traitor," Oceanus said. It sounded like he was walking closer. "My wife is dead because of her!"

"I didn't," Reyna said. She opened her eyes and looked up. "They followed me back to the base, and when I learned the truth about what the Titans did to me, I confronted Mnemosyne. She tried to beat the shit out of me and take my memory again. Hades stopped her, and they took her. It happened right outside the front door, but you obviously didn't care enough to look."

Reyna took a deep breath and looked around the room. Theia had grabbed Ouranos and dragged him back to the chair. She sat him down and then studied Reyna quietly. The two of them had not interacted much, and she wasn't sure if Theia even cared about her.

On her right, Thalia was standing next to her brother. Jason was just staring at Reyna and looked to be in shock. It was like he couldn't process that she was alive. Piper was studying Reyna as well and seemed concerned. Leo sat in his chair and played with one of his tools.

"I have so many questions for you," Venus said quietly. Her eyes focused on Reyna. She didn't look like her normal self. Was she not wearing make up? "How did you survive getting shot in the head? What was it like with the Titans?"

"Good job staying focus on the task at hand," Vulcan muttered. He was leaning on his cane and looked like he was in pain. He looked around the table. "Is this everyone?"

"Everyone that we were able to locate," Minerva answered. "Everyone sit down. We have much to talk about."

Reyna slowly sat at the table. She felt Hylla try to grab her arm again. Reyna tensed but didn't pull away this time. Her gaze moved towards Thalia. All she wanted to do was pull Thalia aside and apologize to her. Reyna just wanted to make up for everything that had happened. She wanted everything to go back to normal.

"We could not figure out how Pluto managed to escape Tartarus," Minerva said. Her gaze moved to Reyna. "But, I have a feeling that you played a part in it."

"Yeah," Reyna muttered. She buried her face in her hands and tried to calm down. Reyna was sick to her stomach.

"Theia, start from the beginning. Why did Kronos shoot Reyna in the head?" Minerva asked. Reyna almost let out a relieved breath. She didn't know if she could repeat the story.

"Kid can take powers temporarily," Theia said. "We know this because her father served with Atlas, and he displayed powers like that. Kronos wanted to find a way to get the kid and enhance her powers. We staged the attack on city hall the get the nuclear material. It was a a lot of improvisation after Atlas died."

"Kronos staged the entire thing, and he shot the kid in the head. Tethys saved her from the river, and we had Asclepius bring the kid back. We've been training her ever since," Theia said. She studied Reyna with a small frown. "Kid posed as a guard escorting Khione, made it into Tartarus, and freed everyone."

"Which means she freed Hades. The death of my wife and friends is on her head," Oceanus said. Theia remained silent. Reyna looked away from them and felt even sicker. "This is all her fault?"

"I think it's the fault of the person who shot her in the head," Hylla snapped. She stood. "You bastards took my sister from me! You tore away months of her life for your evil plan."

"Enough," Vulcan said. He slammed his cane onto the table. "What happened at Tartarus? How did Hades get out?"

Reyna stared at the table and felt ready to vomit. After taking a deep breath, Reyna spoke, "I let him go free. The Titans kept telling me about how the Olympians ruled Olympian Plains and threw their dissenters away. Everything was twisted for me, and the Titans convinced me that they were the victims. I couldn't let anyone else be locked away."

"You can't manipulate the girl's memory and then blame her for everything," Venus commented. "Typical Titans."

"We'll see what is typical," Oceanus snapped. He tried to stand, but Theia stopped him. "My wife is dead."

"You are not the only one who has lost a loved one," Minerva said. "Our friends have died today as well, and we must focus if we want to survive. Theia, what was the plan for Reyna once you enhanced her powers?"

"Capture the Olympians and take their powers. Torture them. Then, do the same to their kids," Theia said. "We would have ruled the city after that."

"So, you're all just shitty people," Thalia snapped. She looked at Minerva. "We don't need to work with them. We just need to kill Hades and all of the people he works with."

"We can't just kill them," Venus said. She looked at Thalia. "Why don't you just calm down, sweetie?"

"Why don't you just go fuck yourself?" Thalia yelled. She jumped to her feet "My father is dead! The person that I see as a mother figure is dead! My powers were stolen from me! And, Hades is going to kill the rest of my friends and family because none of you are brave enough to do what we must!"

Reyna looked down. This was all her fault. She let Pluto out of prison, and everything that he did was on her head. Reyna stood and spoke, "Thalia, just stop and calm down. Please. I'm sorry."

A heavy weight slammed directly into Reyna's chest, and she was slammed into the table. Pain shot through her body, and a fist slammed into her mouth. Thalia brought her fist back again, but someone pulled her away. Reyna collapsed to her knees, and a small whimper of pain escaped her.

"Get the hell away from my sister," Hylla snapped. She shoved Thalia backwards. Minerva quickly moved between them.

"Jason, take Thalia out of here to calm down," Minerva said. Jason nodded and stood. He led Thalia out of the room. Minerva turned towards Reyna and offered a hand. After a moment, Reyna took it. She winced as she was pulled to her feet. "Why don't you and Hylla go for a walk?"

"I'm sorry," Reyna muttered. She placed a hand to her side. "For ruining everything. I'm sorry."

"Calm down," Minerva said softly. "I know your thoughts are all over the place. You just need to take a few minutes to calm down.

Reyna tried to look up at her friends. Instead, she stared at the ground and left the room. Reyna walked down the hall and heard someone behind her. Hylla grabbed her arm softly and spoke, "The two of us can just leave."

"I can't just leave," Reyna snapped. She placed a hand to her mouth and spat out a small amount of blood. Just talking caused her jaw to ache, and the punch hadn't helped either. "I have to make up for what I did."

"How are you going to make up for it?" Hylla demanded. She forced Reyna to look at her. "Thalia won't even look at you. She blames you for everything. The Titans hate you. How are you going to help them?"

"I don't know," Reyna snapped. Tears came to her eyes, and she looked up at Hylla. "I don't know, Hylla. I spent the last few months thinking that the Olympians were the enemy and were going to hurt you. Then, my entire world was turned upside down. I don't know what to do, Hylla. I just have to do something!"

Reyna hugged Hylla tightly and buried her face in Hylla's chest. She cried miserably. Hylla held her close and rubbed her back gently. Reyna just wanted to make things right. She just wanted to make up for what she had done.

"I'm here for you," Hylla whispered. Reyna shook her head and continued to cry. "I'm finally here for you. I promise."

"Tell me how to fix this," Reyna begged. Hylla didn't answer. Another cry left Reyna, and she hugged Hylla tighter. Reyna didn't know how she was going to fix what she had done, but she would find a way, even if it killed her.
