It didn't take much for Niah to decide to pick up the master bolt. Andy was running to help Stella, that would be the only other person Niah thought should have the Bolt. She held it in what would normally be her shield arm, and with a nod to Terminus as a thank you for taking the brunt of the attack she moved to stab Atlas again. With both gods fighting him Atlas was too distracted and Niah was able to get another jab in.

"Except I'm Roman." She snapped at Atlas. That wasn't the full truth. Her mother could have gone either way, but the Greeks didn't have a place for her in their camp so it hadn't been an option. She was thankful she had gone with the Romans too. She took another jab at Atlas hitting him again. Her third jab missed as Atlas dodged. But that was fine with Niah. She could be a distraction for someone else. Dragging him off to his place.

"This is your punishment. The weight of the sky is what you must carry." She told him.

Andy looked around the battlefield. She could join the fight with the older kids, but she saw that when Mary was hit it knocked Stella off her balance. The Master Bolt had fallen to the ground, and for a moment she was torn. What should she do? Stella was keeping her feet under her, but it was a struggle. She ran over to her.

Andy slid in next to Stella taking some of the weight of the sky onto her shoulders. "Just because the prophecy said one of you had to take it, that doesn't mean you have to do it alone." She said trying to sound reassuring. Andy didn't know Stella very well, but she didn't think anyone who wasn't a God or Titan should have the weight of the sky on them alone.

Mandy enjoyed the feel of a cat purring in her arms. She couldn't hear it, but the vibrations against her arm felt good. She scratched the cat under the chin as the scan was done. No chip. She smiled. Should she keep the little one? Her parents would probably entertain her until she drove off to school. They had always let her have whatever pet had wandered into her life. She did her best to rehome them.

She wrote down, 'I'll foster him until we can get him adopted. Can you run a standard test panel on him, give him de-wormer and kitten shots?' She could run the panel if she waited till she got to school, and do all the other follow-up stuff. But the kitten should get the de-wormer right away and that meant she might as well get everything else run.

Ed wished he had been able to help in some other way. Protecting the hanger was something he could do. Keeping it together was not easy. His hands were shaking. He had to focus on it.

Ed controlled his breathing. Focusing on the shield. Shutting out what the others were saying. This would probably be the last line between the empty air of space. His stomach twisted at the thought. The memory of Iris flashed through his mind. Ed quickly shoved it away.

"Okay, see you later. Let me know if you need help." Andy said smiling as Zari left. Zari was determined to do things her own way and wouldn't ask for help normally. Andy hoped that she was getting better at that since coming back to her own time.

"Thank you." She said to Mary Sue as she helped set up the movie. She had wanted to cuddle with Zari. She didn't dare risk touching Mary Sue. That would be bad. "I'm going to change into PJs. If you want to run to your room and get into comfy clothes you can too real quick."

Niah scowled. "It's your job!" She drew her sword and was about to attack Atlas, but a group of cyclops got in her way. She was thrown but thankful she was able to land on her feet. Her powers had never been fighting powers. Yeah, she could fiddle with emotion, and that sometimes worked to get someone mad enough to make a mistake or to make them not care about the fight. But the power she considered her real power had nothing to do with battle. Everything in battle was pure training. Without a group of Romans though there were none of the tactics she would want to use. And her group had been on a train there hadn't been any time to work through tactics. She'd just have to do this the Greek way -total chaos.

Niah was mad. Today had been a lot. And she had lost in that fight against the stupid werewolves. Sure she had taken out several after but Persephone had to save her. She was not going to let that mess up this fight though. She would be practical, she would be cool. She ignored all the cyclopses and made her way back over to Atlas. He would suffer. He would take the sky back. She jabbed at him, almost hitting him but he blocked her at the last moment. She used his movement against him and moved just slightly getting in another attack under his guard. She had wounded him. She grinned, feral almost. And attacked again. Atlas must have been surprised or confused that she had hurt him that he wasn't fast enough and she cut him again.

Andy felt tingly. The lighting that had hit her had hurt. She wished she had been ready for that, she could have redirected it. Andy did reach out and try to collect some of the residual power, but it slipped through her metaphorical fingers. She watched as Stella went over and took up the weight of the sky. She blinked a bit surprised that she would. Andy wouldn't have thought to do that either. How would they get Atlas to take it back?

She frowned and tried to pull the lighting again. Sparks flickered off her hands but nothing more. She hated that. Hated that she wasn't doing anything. She had wanted to hit all the damn Cyclops and Atlas. But she might have spent too much energy in the fight at the trailhead. She was tired, but she reached one more time pulling and found it she focused her attention on one of the cyclops near her. Hitting it and killing it. The dust fluttered to the ground.

Mandy put the bag of groceries in the car and made sounds that she had been informed were the right ones to get animals to trust you—simple tongue clicks. Mandy had no idea what they sounded like, but she knew the mouth feel well enough. The kitten seemed to want attention and was quickly pliant.

She took a quick picture of the cat and sent it to the chat with her parents. "Going to take this little one to the vet to see if it has humans. I'll be home after." The kitten even let her pick it up. There had to be a human. She checked that her car was locked and headed to the vet in the same parking lot as the shop where she had gotten masks and toilet paper.

Entering she pulled up her notes app and held it up for the receptionist. She kept a note pinned that explained [color=BB33FF]'Hi my name is Mandy. I am deaf. I can communicate via notes or text.'[/color She waited for the receptionist to read the note before adding to it. 'I found this kitten in the lot. Can you do a quick check for a microchip?' Vet offices and rescues had microchip scanners on hand to check if a lost animal was chipped. That could give contact information for the owner and get the animal back to where it belongs.

Andy led the way back to her room. She considered how to respond to Mary Sue's question. She didn't want to diminish her relationship with the Drummonds, they had been a major part of her life. However, they didn't fit with the story of Andy Gallio-Lensherr. She bit her lip and then decided.

"I lived with this couple that owned a Mixed Martial Arts studio for a while. Ash, was super into old films. She would do movie nights with us. Set up an old projector and have popcorn and candy. Sometimes regulars would watch with us. Or it would just be the three of us curled up on the couch. It was a good, happy time for me." She wasn't changing who she was, not to fit in. She wasn't going to forget what brought her here. She had been careful to not give it a date, this could have happened at any point.

Entering her room she started to set it all up so they could watch the movie. Plan 9 was easy to find, it had long been available online to watch without paying for it.

Ed wouldn't say that the shield was what was holding the hanger together, but it was getting close. And others were helping now. That was good. There was a stream of people, but it wasn't steady and it wasn't everyone that was clear. Many were getting on the Blackbird at least.

The shield felt stable. Ed climbed into the Blackbird joining the others. He maintained his concentration on the shield around the hanger. He could feel the trembles of the astroid that was threatening to fall apart. Soon they wouldn't have the scant security the place provided. At least he knew that his shield would provide a little extra time. He only hoped everyone could get there in time. Time was almost up.

The farther into the hall, Niah got, the more nervous she got. Upon seeing Terminus she tensed. She wanted to run to him and help right away. She liked the god. He was a stickler for the rules and had always been good at his job. Niah glared at Atlas.

"What do you think brought us here?" Niah said, irritation carried deeply in her tone. "Let's do this the easy way Atlas. Give us the bolt, you take back up the weight of the sky, and let Terminus go. We can walk away if you do that." She didn't expect the Titan to take the offer. But she felt it wouldn't be right to not at least put it on the table.

"Oh, thank you." Could they help? Andy didn't think they couldn't and if not Persephone would say something, right? Andy wasn't certain how picky prophecies could be. She followed the others up the hill and eventually to the top of the hill. She wondered about the wind noise but figured it might just be because they were on a tall mountain.

Andy's eyes fell on the Master Bolt. She knew in her bones what it was. Even if Stella hadn't just told her the prophecy that had brought their group here she would have known. She also knew that it didn't belong in Atlas' hands. That was her father's and while she had had little interaction with him she wanted to prove herself to him still. A part of her hated that feeling. He hadn't ever really been there for her. She had seen him maybe twice in her whole life and yet she wanted to be worthy of him. She knew she'd be joining this fight to get the Master Bolt back.

Mandy laughed at her dad's joke. She got it. "I'll go to the store." She also thought she'd probably email her school counselor to see if there was any news from Cornell. If they were going to be paranoid and shut down the school before it even started she couldn't really blame them. It just meant she'd have to deal with Zoom classes. She had labs this semester, she was not dissecting a frog on the porch via Zoom again if she could help it.

Mandy got up and headed for her room to get her keys and wallet. She planned to go to the store and get some extra supplies. She didn't want her parents to be worried about stuff if she could help it. Once she had that gathered up she went outside, via the kitchen and grabbing another cookie, to her car. The store wasn't too far from their place.
