WHO: Theseus and Nike
WHEN: November 3
WHERE: Nike's place
WHAT: Theseus gets sucked back to NY after two weeks, after straightening Greed out, he goes to see Nike before heading back to Greece for his daughter.
WARNING: TBD
His hand was still swollen from the impact of Greed's jawbone and his hand. He stretched out his fingers and shook his hand before hanging outside Nike's apartment door. He'd spent a lot of time with her the last few months, but he hadn't been himself. Even during the blackout when the city was in complete chaos, Theseus hadn't been the same since his father kidnapped him. Nike didn't mother him, she didn't helicopter him, and he wouldn't have wanted her to. It had just become harder for him to not completely disappear inside his thoughts. He'd eat himself alive during that dark phase, and while it still hung in the back of his mind, it no longer paralyzed him.
The trip to Greece with Zoe had reminded him of who he was. By focusing on her he was able to focus on someone other than himself---and it had gotten him out of his own head. He was a lot stronger than he'd been when he left. He had to be. When she opened the door he didn't even have a snarky hello, he just reached for her face and kissed her. Hard. That fight with Greed had his adrenaline pumping, and he felt empowered.
