WHO Luz Martin and Apollo
WHERE ALL Apartment
WHEN Wednesday, August 1st, afternoon
RATING PG
SUMMARY Mini-log: Luz and the Sperm Donor
STATUS Complete

Luz had woken up in the hospital to find the morning sun hidden by dark, gray clouds. The clouds had continued to hide the sun, basking the city in a still darkness throughout the day, so Luz was not as excited to go home as she'd thought she'd be. She had been looking forward to feeling the sun on her face, but just found gray and occasional droplets of rain. But still, going back to her apartment was awesome. She could have gone home days ago, but for appearances sake made only a 'very quick' recovery instead of a 'full recovery in 24 hours.' Which would probably otherwise be known as a 'medical miracle' and Gus' newspaper would have gotten a call.

Leaving the hospital and getting back to her apartment had been stressful, though. Luz was apparently goddamn popular. Her parents and sister, her boyfriend, Ari and Gus, various other Greek cousins, and then Anya and Lydia (and Otis.) Luz had felt very popular, but tensions had been a little high. Not everyone had been there at once, but even getting her home felt, to Luz, like being the rope in a tug of war. Eeeeeeveryone wanted to take care of Luz. When she was fine. She wasn't even hurt anymore! And it had been hard, because Luz felt like she had to choose. She loved everyone, so much, she was adult enough to admit that. And it was true, she had asked her mom for a hug every now and then in the hospital, adults hug their mommies, that's fine! But she did just kind of want Brady around, but she couldn't say that, because it involved telling her parents to go home. It was like choosing, and Luz didn't want to do that.

She'd gotten to a point where she didn't want to hurt people's feelings.

So Luz had basically sent everyone home. Or, rather, she sent her parents and Marielos (who was now over a month old and doing well) home, and sent Brady out for ice cream, from a specific place... on another island. Just so she could have some time to herself. There was no getting rid of Anya and Lydia, of course, they lived there, so Luz just sort of went into her room and closed the door until Brady got back. She missed her room, not that she'd been living in it long. She had her nice large bed with the yellow comforter. All new desk and chair with her laptop on it (how long had it been since she'd checked the G-Net?)

She had a dull, gray light coming through her window, enough that she had to turn her lamp on to really get any light. Luz didn't want to lie down on the bed, she'd had enough of that, so she just stood by her window, looking up at the gray sky. For a moment Luz closed her eyes.

Apollo liked to make an entrance. A sound of a thundering orchestra focusing heavily on strings rang through the room and a bright light cascaded through the window. The light brightened for a brief moment before it dimmed revealing Apollo, Luz's sperm donor.

"Manari mou," he sighed in Greek, "My little Luz. I was so worried Uncle Hades would have had his hand on you. I am so glad you have more time in which to spread your beauty."

Then he acted very surprised. "Oh! I got you a gift!" The light of the sunset he created into an ornate necklace that practically shined with the shade of the setting sun. He leaned over to put it around her neck.

Luz nearly jumped out of her skin at the sudden orchestra, one hand going to her heart and her other to the perfectly healed part of her stomach. She turned from the window, blinking at the light, wondering what the hell was going on when Apollo appeared before her.

Her fear quickly turned to bored anger.

"What do you want?" she asked, reaching up to take the necklace before he could get it around her neck. That was too much like hugging. "You only show up when something bad is going on."

Apollo took a step back, looking obviously hurt by it. Luz was one of his many little girls and he loved her! Why is she acting like... such a teenager... and not the falling in love, cute kind either!

"I'm sorry, manari mou..." he looked crestfallen as he stepped away. "But you know how difficult it is for me to visit sometimes. I would visit you every day if I could..."

	As hard to visit her as it was to be around her teenage mother after he'd knocked her up! Luz was so glad she had a man 1000x better than Apollo. Brady was around everyday... except for the three months he'd be in a foreign country. But Luz would visit him! "So why are you here now? Is it the gods getting eaten thing? Or the me being stabbed thing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Apollo still looked very sad and very vulnerable, you know, for a god at least. Why must his baby girl be like this?! If he could, he would have a huge sun house where all his mortal children could live together.

He then turned serious, "Well, I wanted to give you a gift that you could find useful in the time to come, sweetheart. You see, the coming days, people will write of for years to come, that is, if there is a future for people to write about it. I want to make sure you are taken care of."

He paused for a moment before he took out what looked to be an iPhone, "Idea for a poem, writing for a future that does not exist." Then he paused before adding, "Remember to stop and pick up Pizza from Mario's before going home..."

	Luz's eyebrows knit in the middle of her forehead. Why did he have to be so weird? Carl was a much better father, he was an actual father. "What kind of gift? More jewels?" she asked, holding up the necklace. "I don't wear jewelry," she told him, ignoring the ring on her right hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It is jewelry but it is also a new bow. Accuracy is nearly doubled! Plus a few other surprises... that I may have forgotten, I mean what you will figure out when the time is right..." he gave a winning smile, the kind that won Luz's mother over to begin with.

"The jewelry form is to bring out your beautiful smile. You have my smile, I think..." Apollo posed dramatically, using the sunlight for a spotlight affect.

Her eyes grew wide at the idea of a bow, and she looked down at the necklace in her hand. Ignoring all of the other weird stuff Apollo said, Luz immediately went to put the necklace on. After a few moments of it getting tangled in her hair (stupid clasp) she let it set against her neck.

And in her hand formed a golden recurve bow. Seemingly made of the same gold and turquoise pattern as her quiver. She looked at it a bit in shock, because it was actually beautiful and useful, and fit as well into her hand as Fred did.

Luz turned to him, not sure what to say. Well, she knew what to say, but damned it was hard to say it to Apollo. "Tha- How thoughtful," she said, still frowning slightly.

Apollo beamed brightly as she finally gave him a compliment. He did try so hard to help those he loved. Just the mist made it so difficult to be overt about it.

"Archery is in your blood, darling..." he grinned brightly. "You should be able to hit the bullseye just as easy as it is for me to make a rhyme." He paused for a moment, "How is your wound? Do you need me to heal it for you?"

He reached over, his finger tips glowing slightly.

	She was working on the bulls-eye thing, it was harder than it looked, but it did feel a bit like playing the violin, so she knew she'd get it eventually. Luz was still admiring the bow when she saw Apollo reaching for her. She took a step away. "No, ah, Brady healed me. I'm perfectly fine, just, just shaken..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apollo reached over to give Luz a hug, "I am so glad for that." He smelled like a field of daisies in the sun on a warm summer day. "Is there anything else you need me to do?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I need you to stop hugging me," Luz said, eyes wide. No father should smell that nice and fresh, he was so weird! She looked up at him. "You're really weird, you know that, right?" She paused, still looking up at him. "Should you even be here? Isn't there a thing going around eating people like you?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
