The second Hermes heard that Roxanna's ridiculous warrior boyfriend had been kidnapped, he'd been looking for him. Not that he would admit to it, but he had been. And he was pretty annoyed that Phantasos had managed to figure it out first.

He was even more annoyed when he showed up to Hybris' hide out to find Phantasos waiting for him. Not only was the little dream god going to come along for the ride even though Hermes had said no, Phantasos had gotten there first.

Hermes arched his brow at Phantasos, but he just beckoned him to follow, descending into the building. He could feel immortals nearby, and he found Hybris in the basement, beside a very heavily injured Patroclus and some mortal. Hybris' head snapped up when she heard footsteps approaching, and she dropped the knife she'd been slicing into Patroclus with. It clattered to the floor and Patroclus' head fell backwards with a groan.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Hybris hissed at Hermes as the god approached her. "Get the fuck out of here, get your own prisoners!"

Hermes didn't even bother to address her, he just strode over to her, grabbed her by the hair, and snapped her neck. Hybris fell to the floor in a heap and Phantasos slipped by her, trying to avoid looking at his sister. Instead he focused on Jesse.

The pair were no longer chained to the roof, though their shoulders were red and swollen from the time they had spent suspended. They were tied to a chairs, and Phantasos grabbed Hybris' knife so he could cut Jesse's bonds. "It's okay," he whispered to the mortal. "We're getting you out, okay? Just stick with me."

Jesse had gone numb not long after their botched escape attempt. He'd shut down and withdrawn into himself, and now, whenever Hybris or one of her siblings hurt him, it only sort of registered. Just something else to be dealt with later.

He could hear voices, a wet snap, and the sound of a body hitting the floor. He glanced over to see Hybris, with her neck at an odd angle. But the only thing he could summon up was a vague feeling of, 'Oh. That's interesting.'

And then someone was talking to him, and he pulled himself back to consciousness long enough to process what they were saying. He let out a laugh that was more of a croak than anything. "I've heard that before," he rasped.

"I know, I know," Phantasos hissed as he sliced through the ropes binding Jesse tightly to the chair. Gosh there were a lot of them. "That was my sister. Who tried to help? She told me where to find you. Do you think you can stand?"

Before Jesse had a chance to answer, Hermes had removed Patroclus' bonds, but instead of letting Hermes help him, the tortured warrior had let out a yelp of protest. Patroclus then pushed Hermes away, sending himself spilling to the ground.

"Oh shit," like a shot, Phantasos was kneeling beside Patroclus. "It's okay, I'm a friend of Roxy's! Remember? Hermes, why don't you help Jesse, hmm?"

Hermes, grumbling about soldiers who didn't let things go, stepped over to Jesse and he peered down at him. "I can carry you?" he suggested.

	"For real this time?" Jesse slurred, his head resting on Hermes' chest. "Because last time didn't end so well." Jesse let out his croaking laugh again. "Can't damage my legs any further," he rasped. "They're fucked up enough already." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roxanna muttered a few dark things in French under her breath, but eventually she settled and sighed, dropping her head forward and collecting herself. "Pat and her were the only good things in that place," Jesse said. "So yeah. I'd like to thank her. And yeah, I could probably eat something. I didn't really register til you said anything, but I'm starving." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
