Whenever I think about character parentage, the plot bunnies just reproduce. Then I think about Athena's and Apollo's father. For now, I'll keep my ideas about Apollo's dads in my head; this is a story about Athena's parenthood and what exactly happened to her father. This is connected to the scene in the Dual Destinies credit where Simon was talking to an unknown person about there father's conviction and needing Athena. Well here it is. The story will be called "The Psyche of the Turnabout".

Simon Blackquill took in the fresh air during his walk. After spending the last seven years of his life in prison (and for a crime he didn't even commit) the air seemed like a nice present after doing time.

Sadly for Simon, in exchange for his freedom, the gods decided his sister Aura should be in the prison now, and even more sadly it was for a crime she did commit.

Simon knew that his sister will face jail time, but he wants to make sure that she gets the softest punishment possible and so he decided to come to the Wright Anything agency to see if one of the attorneys there could help lighten his sister case.

Wright Anything Agency

Blackquill was a bit surprised to see someone already in the office (with all the ridiculous things such as the flying spaghetti and the potted plant with a name (apparently Charley) he find it hard to believe this was a legal office) looking at a watch.

The person was looked up in surprise at Blackquill's arrival and stood up immediately, "Are you one of the lawyers who work here?"

"No," Simon answered, "I'm a prosecutor, I'm here to see one of the lawyers here as well about a case".

The person sighed; he was about 18 years of age and male. He had blue eyes covered by glasses and unkempt black hair. He was wearing a casual shirt and jeans but said shirt had a picture of various bizarre ink splotches, the one you expect to find on a Rorschach test. Another striking piece was the unique choker around his neck, which had a bright, large, sun shaped jewel attached to the front.

"Great," the teen grumbled, "I was waiting for the last thirty minutes and no one is here."

"Do you need them for a trial as well?"

"Yup, my old man just got accused of a murder and I heard the lawyers here was good for business".

Simon nodded, "Is there any lawyer here in particular you request?"

"Athena Cykes, my dad requested her."

"Is there any reason why her?"

The teen merely smirked, "A very good reason actually, but I'm not sure she'll agree".

"Why not? If your father's innocent than Athena will certainly be able to help out".

The youth sighed, "Let me just say, dad and Athena have a special history, and no I will not elaborate further".

Simon smirked, "If Athena does take this case, I might request to take it as well, it could be…interesting".

The teen gives him a deadpan look, "You just admitted to my face that you will prosecute my father's case."

"That I did."

"Whatever, by the way what's your name anyway?"

"I am Prosecutor Simon Blackquill, you?"

"Helios…Helios Ripper".

This will be the first chapter. It was a bit short but I'll make the next one longer. This is merely to expand the scene where Simon met with someone unknown and discuss the unknown person's case. Well please Read and Review.
