Okay, so this is the last chapter of this story, {;( tear} Anyways, just to warn ya, it's really corny. But I couldn't help it. Oh and like I promised, Atlanta's secret will be revealed in the chapter ( cough, cough, Kiwi ingenuity). Oh and because I didn't do this before, I don't own Class of the Titans. If I did, well...anyways, enjoy:D

Two days had passed since the fateful fight with Cronus. Much to Hermes' dismay, there was nothing Chiron could do to bring back Autolycus. But the father didn't have to mourn for long, as Persephone informed him that Autolycus was residing happily in the elysian fields, acclaimed as a hero for his selfless act.

" Can I go see him?" Hermes questioned when he heard the news.

" I'm afraid not" was Persephone's short reply.

" Why can't I go see my son?"

" It is dangerous to focus on what has been lost. You must learn to move on"

" Oh, I see", Hermes, answered as his voice dropped into a depressing tone.

" But, he was granted permission to write this letter as a final goodbye" Persephone said as she handed Hermes a worn piece of parchment that read:

Dear Father,

I know that we never had the strongest of relationships, due to my many antics. But looking back, I realize that you really did try your best, despite the trouble I got myself into (like stealing Sisyphus' herd). I guess that old saying is true, that you don't know what you have until it's gone. Of course I know that you're not gone. But I want you to know that neither am I. Every day I spend in this paradise I'm reassured that you're up there on earth, hoping I'm okay. Well, I'm fine, and actually happier than I've been in a long time. So I guess this is my goodbye to you Dad. I just want you to know that I actually love you.

Your grateful son,

Autolycus.

" Thank you" Hermes said with tears in his eyes.

" You're welcome" Persephone meaningfully whispered back in reply.

The heroes sat on the couch in Hera's office, awaiting news about Cronus.

" Cronus was defeated," Hera announced with an air of caution in her voice. Sounds of cheering soon filled the room as the heroes jumped to their feet in victory. But an alert Odie sensed that something was not right.

" If Cronus was defeated, why don't you seem happy?" Odie directed towards Hera.

" You did not let me finish". With such a statement, the rest of the heroes seated themselves.

" You see, Cronus was defeated. But it did not stay that way for long. Soon after the orb was sent to be destroyed, it mysteriously vanished. Cronus' aura escaped and he was reawakened. As it turns out, your fight is not yet over".

"Well that kind of sucks" Neil mentioned back at the brownstone as the heroes sat around the table discussing their situation.

" Not really. Think about it" Atlanta mentioned.

" Think about what? Our failure?" Archie responded.

" No. But defeating Cronus for good actually means leaving. And who wants to do that?" Atlanta pointed out.

" I guess you're right. You guys have become like my family. I don't know what I would do without you guys" Odie chimed in.

" Neither do I" Theresa said as she looked longingly at the distracted Jay.

" I guess you guys are sort of important to me," Neil said as he looked up from his mirror.

" What everybody else said" Herry chimed in.

" I guess I do appreciate you guys," Archie said as Atlanta pinched his back, " Okay I love you guys". The team turned towards Jay who was sitting silently and seemed to be thinking deeply. Snapping back to reality, he looked around at his team before proceeding.

" I admit, that when this all started, I just wanted to defeat Cronus and go back to a normal life. But now I realize that normal is overrated, and if being normal means leaving you guys, I don't want it" He said as he squeezed Theresa's hand with affection.

" Awe, group hug!" Herry shouted.

" Herry NO!" the rest of the team shouted. But Herry ignored their pleas and quickly enveloped them in a bone-crushing embrace.

The stars were just beginning to appear as Archie and Atlanta sat on the roof, under the protection of a thin blanket.

" Archie" Atlanta started hesitantly, " What's going to happen to us once Cronus is gone for good?"

" I guess everyone will have to go back home. But we'll all keep in touch, hopefully" Archie replied.

" No, I mean us" Atlanta said as she snuggled closer to Archie, " as in you and me", she specified.

" Atlanta honestly I-" Archie started as he stared into Atlanta's questioning eyes.

" I could never leave you" he finished as he kissed her on her forehead.

" What do you think the others would say if they saw how corny we're acting right now?" Atlanta questioned jokingly.

" They would probably never shut up about it"

" Then it's our little secret" Atlanta said as she wrapped the blanket tightly around her.

" Speaking of secrets…" Archie trailed off as he stood up, towering over Atlanta.

" I'm not telling you" Atlanta responded as she jumped up.

" Technically, we did defeat Cronus" Archie teased.

" I'm still not telling you"

" Then I'll just have to force it out of you" Archie teased back as he and Atlanta began an extreme game of cat and mouse, ending with Atlanta pinned against the staircase door.

" Fine, but you gotta promise not to tell anyone. Or else!" she warned, raising her fist.

" Promise" Archie responded.

" Okay. How do I say this? You see, I wasn't always such a…tomboy. When I was younger I kinda may have competed in beauty pageants". Archie suddenly collapsed with shock and laughter.

" You…tiara…dresses…pageant…Ha!" Archie squealed in between breaths as he literally rolled on the floor laughing.

" Yah well, I'm not too proud of it. But hey at least I didn't take ballet" Suddenly Archie stopped laughing and grew serious.

" How did you find out about that?" he demanded.

" Let's just say a little birdie told me"

" A little blond birdie?"

" Hehe, maybe?"

" Ugh, Neil is so dead!" Archie announced angrily.

" Oh calm down. Besides…" Atlanta giggled as she ruffled Archie's hair, " I think it's kind of cute"

" You do?" Archie questioned, extremely confused.

" Yah. Big, strong, masculine Archie, liked to dance around in pink tutus. It's fucking precious" Atlanta teased as she pinched Archie's cheeks.

" Funny" Archie responded sarcastically.

" I thought so," Atlanta said as she pulled Archie into a kiss. She didn't know what would happen to their relationship, or the team once Cronus was gone. But one thing she did know for sure was that the image of Archie in a pink tutu would be giving her nightmares for months.

So what did you think? Can't you totally picture Archie at like age 8 in those tight leggings, lifting all those girls up for their spins? Hehe, I can:D How else could he have gotten such mad skills? And Atlanta in a beauty pageant? Now that would be interesting...Anyways please review!
