Recap:

I gulped. 'Fuck I'm really screwed now...' I thought to myself '

"Leave the poor nymph alone," I hear a familiar voice, I looked up and saw Hermes

Present:

Y/N's POV:

"Sorry, H-Hermes..." the men then backed away and left

I then turned to Hermes, his hair was down, and was wearing a tuxedo. He had a really smug face on, I glared at him. I was gonna tell him to wipe it off, but I needed to find Persephone.

"Where is my thank you?"  he asks, I then turned towards him and playfully hits him

"I could've handled it myself, but thank you," I replied with a smile and crossed my arms

"Stubborn still, I see?" he chuckles "What are you doing here in Olympus? Shouldn't you be in the Mortal Realm with Persephone?"

"Ha! I just moved here with Persephone this morning," I chuckled

"Really? Where is she?" he asks

"I'm trying to look for her right now," I told him, I then see Artemis walking toward me "Artemis have you seen Persephone?"

"I've been looking for her everywhere! Demeter is going to kill me!" she exclaims, she then looks at Hermes and stands in front of me "What do you want from Y/N?"

"Jeez chill Artemis, Y/N and I are friends," Hermes defends himself

"It's okay Artemis, he and I are good friends," I placed my hand on her shoulder 

Flashback (On how Hermes and Y/N met):

Y/N's POV:

I was gathering some flowers on a field for Lady Demeter and Lady Persephone. 

"Hm...Lady Demeter would like some lavender for scented soap," I said picking some of them up, I then turned around and a man was in from of me, his hair was down, and was wearing a white tunic.

"AH!" I then smacked him across the face with the bunches of lavender

"Ow!" he then sneezes

"Oh my! I'm so sorry!" I said removing some of the lavender 

"It's okay...I spooked you..." he says brushing the petals off his hair

"I'm so sorry again," I then looked at his piercing beautiful eyes "Are you Hermes?"

"Yup that's me!" he says flexing "And how does a beautiful nymph know my name?"

"Lady Persephone told me all about you," I stated and was slightly flustered from his compliment "And how you met-"

"That is extremely embarrassing!" he interrupts me, he then clears his throat "I forgot to ask for your name..."

"My name in Y/N," I said with a smile

"Y/N...What a beautiful name..." he smiles, and hands me a lavender "Well, I have to get you back to work. See you around doll,"

End of Flashback:

Y/N's POV:

"Okay..." she sighs and then looks at Hermes "But I'm keeping an eye on you...Got it?"

"Yes ma'am," he says 

"C'mon Y/N let's go and find Persephone," she then drags me away from Hermes

"Bye Hermes!" I said waving goodbye with a smile

"Bye Doll," he smirks and then walks away

The Next Day:

Y/N's POV:

I woke up feeling like shit. I couldn't find Persephone anywhere last night...

'Demeter is gonna kill me when she finds out...' I thought to myself

I then got up and wore some fresh clothes and got ready for the morning. I walked around anxiously around the door and waited for Persephone to come back. I hear the door behind me creak open. Artemis just woke up.

"Is everything okay?" she asks

"Yes...No...I'm just anxious...I've never been so worried for Persephone for a really long time..." I stated as I continue to pace around the house

"Hold up...Black car with a mysterious blue man and a pink girl..." Artemis looks out of the window "What the fuck! She's with Hades!?"

She opens the door and starts running, I started running after her. Artemis then slams on the window.

"You get out of this pervert's car right this instant!" Artemis yells

"Persephoneeeeeee...I'm so sorry," I was so close to bursting into tears

"You! I'm watching you!!!" Artemis looks Hades

"Relax Artemis! I'm innocent!" Hades defends himself

"A likely story..." Artemis sneers "Persephone! Look at Y/N! She was so worried about you and she is about to cry! Look at you! Let's get you fixed up,"

"I'm fine now..." I assured Artemis "My my Persephone we need to cut your hair..."

"Hey, Kore!" Hades yelled, "Made you look!"

"Come on Persephone..." Artemis says

"Darn that card," she mutters under her breath

"Hey! 20%!" she replies

"What the fuck is she going on about?" Artemis whispers into my ears, I shrugged

"Goodbye!" Persephone smiles

"Goodbye!" Hades yells back

"Bye pervert!" Artemis yells and slams the door

"Persephone! Are you okay!? I was so worried!" I said squishing her face "I should've kept a better eye on you!"

"I'm okay, I'm so sorry for making you worried!" she hugs me

"I'm so sorry Persephone! Did anything..." Artemis looks away for a moment "Happen? With Hades?"

We then continued to talk for a bit.

"Can you cut my hair please, Y/N?" Persephone asks me

"Of course..." I said, I then grabbed a pair of scissors and then started snipping away until it became a pixie cut

"It feels so much lighter," she then looks at the mess "I'll clean this up,"

"Don't worry about the mess. Y/N and I would clean this up. Go grab a shower and I'll make us some tea," Artemis says, Persephone smiles and entered the bathroom "So what kind of tea should I make?"

"Persephone doesn't have a preference...But since we are all hungover we should have Chamomile Tea," I think for a bit

"Chamomile Tea it is..." she says grabbing a box of Chamomile Tea

Later:

Y/N's POV:

Persephone walks out of the bathroom and stretches her arm.

"I feel much better!" Persephone smiles and joins us on the couch

"I'm glad, so I've been thinking, since I think it'll be easier to communicate, so I should give you both phones," she hands us two cracked phones "They're pretty banged up, but it works,"

"Thank you so much!" Persephone smiles

"Thank you," I smiled

Artemis then taught us how to use our phones. We then hear the doorbell ring.

"I wasn't expecting anyone today. Who could that be?"
