In a Forest..
There were three people.
A girl with black hair, tied into a ponytail, she had emerald green eyes, wore a black turtle neck, black pants, and green neon shoes. She was leading a boy and a girl.

The boy wore a black hoodie, black pants, black shoes. He wore glasses, he had red hair and eyes. He looked annoyed.

The other girl wore glasses too. She had dark gray eyes, black ombre pale blonde hair. She wore a gray shirt, knee-length blue jeans, and black sneakers.

They all looked around 15.

"How can you know that Jayce is here?" The boy asked.

"It's a hunch honestly." The girl with green eyes shrugged.

"What? You're getting us lost here!" The boy groaned.

"That doesn't mean you can do it better, red head." The green eyed girl mocked.

"That doesn't mean that i can be dumb-er than you, dumbass." The boy said, holding his anger.

"Well you-" The green eyed girl was cut by the curly haired girl.

"Guys. I know where Jayce is." The curly haired girl said.

"What?" The green eyed girl and the boy said in sync. And the green eyed girl growled to the boy.

"Clara. Xavier. Cut it out." The curly haired girl was so done, "Let me lead."

"Fine." Clara pouted.

"The child of Athena is far smarter than you." Xavier smirked.

"Whatever." Clara rolled her eyes,"Ritha. Where exactly is it?"

"It's near here, actually." Ritha smiled.

"Hey! My hunch was right!" Clara seemed happy.

Ritha smiled.

"Tch." Xavier turned his head away.

"Right about... here." Ritha said as she shoved away some vines.

It revealed a cave.

"Let's go-" Clara was pulled back by Ritha.

"Hey!" Clara frowned.
"Geez. You really are an airhead." Ritha sighed, "Jayce has alot of traps for intuders."

"How can you know that?" Xavier raised an eyebrow.

"I've been here before." Ritha said shortly.

"What?" Clara gave Ritha a confused look.

"Whatever." Ritha pushed away the topic.

Clara widened her eyes, "So that's where you got the laser thing!"

"Good, you're using your brain." Ritha said with a straight face.

"And how are we getting inside?" Clara asked.

"Jayce gave me a key in this laser bracelet." Ritha said as she clicked a button on her bracelet.

A round tube appeared.
"Hm." Ritha said as she examined the "key", and put it inside a gap in a stone next to the cave. It fit perfectly, and the "key" went inside the stone.

The cave entrance opened.
"Come on." Ritha walked in.
Xavier immediately went after her.
Clara blinked for a few seconds and went in. The cave entranced closed with a BOOM! as Clara took a step in.

A boy with brown hair and gray eyes appeared from the shadows.

"Hi, Jayce." Ritha smiled.

"Ritha! What a surprise." The boy grinned.

"Jayce. We need you to come with us." Clara said.

The boy tilted his head, "Why not a tour first?"

Jayce pressed a button on his belt, and the cave suddenly changed to a huge lab.

"How-" Clara said in awe.
"Secret." Jayce winked.
Jayce showed the three around.

"This is where Ritha's bracelet was made." Jayce pointed to a machine.

A robot came to Jayce's side. It was at least his waist tall. It offered 4 cups of tea.

"Thanks Gizmo." Jayce took a cup of tea and patted it on the head.

Ritha took a cup casually. Xavier too. Clara took the cup slowly and looked at the robot. The robot hugged her.

"Oh my gosh-"

"Looks like Gizmo likes you." Jayce smiled.

Clara just froze until she hugged it back too.

"Awww." Jayce chuckled.

"Jayce. We need to find the other demigods." Ritha snapped Jayce out of his world.

"I'm not good in having such many friends with organic life forms." Jayce shook his head and walked away.

"Jayce. It's not about friends." Ritha grabbed his wrist, "It's about the sake of this country."

Jayce stopped for a while, "How many?"

"Seven. Including us." Ritha said.

"Having three around me is enough." Jayce faced his lab table.

"Jayce. I know that you are uncomfortable with alot of people." Ritha said softly, "But we need you. Your fire too."

Jayce flinched. Clara figured that he had a bad memory about his fire.

"Jayce." Ritha pleaded, "We need you."

"....fine." Jayce sighed, "For the sake of this city."

"Let's get going then." Xavier turned as he went for the exit.

"Hey hoodie boy." Jayce called.
Xavier turned as a meaning of What?

"You haven't introduced yourself. That girl too." Jayce pointed at Clara, who is currently playing patty cake with Gizmo.

"Xavier." Xavier said shortly as he continued to walk to the exit.

"She's Clara." Ritha said, "Clara! We better go find Jeanett!"

"I'm staying with Gizmo." Clara pouted as she hugged Gizmo.

"Clara. Please. My goodness." Ritha face palmed.

"Okay. Okay! Fine." Clara rolled her eyes, "Let's play again later, okay Gizmo?"

Gizmo just smiled.

Clara stood up and nodded at Jayce as she walked to the exit.

"Come on Jayce." Ritha said.

"Okay." Jayce responded. He changed the lab to a dark old cave again.

"Hey Jayce!" Clara called, "Where's the exit?"

"Where's Xavier?" Jayce and Ritha asked in sync.

"He shadow travelled i think." Clara said casually, "C'mon."

Jayce pushed a button and the cave opened.

Clara walked through.
"Yo, Death Boy! Let's go!" Clara called.

Xavier appeared next to her, "I'm right here."

"Oh my Poseidon-" Clara sighed.

Ritha was going to walk out, until Jayce pulled her hand.

"What is it?" Ritha asked.
"Here." Jayce said as he opened Ritha's glasses and put on new ones.

"What's the difference?" Ritha raised an eyebrow.

"Tap here." Jayce tapped her right side of her glasses. It was a tracking device, she could clearly see Xavier and Clara on her glasses.

"Wow." Ritha was impressed, "Honestly i'm amazed."

"Here is the little chips." Jayce put a bunch of beads in a sling bag and gave the bag to her, "Throw it to the person you want to track, it will stick automatically."

"Jayce.." Ritha tapped her glasses back to normal and took the sling bag, "I don't know how to thank you.."

"No need to." Jayce winked, "Let's go!"

Jayce walked outside. Ritha followed.

"What took you guys so long?" Clara raised an eyebrow.

"No time. Let's go." Ritha said as she passed by Xavier and Clara.

"Jayce. What did you do to her?" Clara's eyes glinted.

"Chill! I only gave her a new device!" Jayce raised both of his hands.

Clara's eyes softened, "Thanks for the devices you made for her."

Clara ran to catch up with Ritha.
"Is she always that over protective?" Jayce asked.
Xavier shrugged and walked towards the two.
Jayce sighed. He followed him.

They walked a long way, they were almost out of the forest. It was getting late.

"Let's rest for now." Ritha said.

Ritha gathered some wood and threw them to Jayce.

Jayce flicked his hand and fire came out of it. He winced, and then he put the wood and lit it up.

Xavier stayed still as his skeletons made a hammock for him from a piece of cloth they found.

There was a river near by, Clara built a... place? From wood beside the river. She felt safer near the water, she doesn't know why.

Jayce and Ritha made fancy places to sleep, since Ritha has the brain and Jayce has the hands.

Ritha made a bed from leaves and wood.
Jayce made a bed from wood, with some wool (because he killed a sheep, oh well.) He made a pillow.

They all gathered around the campfire.

Ritha made a map.

"We're here." As she pointed at the map, "And to find Jeanett, she's here, at the end of the city. And unfortunately Evan is really far from us, it would need a vehicle. And Vito..."

Ritha stayed quiet a few seconds, "He's.. at the opposite side of Jeanett."
"Okay." Clara said, "By the way, i'm hungry."

"Fruit." Xavier said as he passed some pears and bananas to everyone.

"Thanks dude." Jayce said as he examined it, "They stole it from a supermarket? It has a stamp."

Clara looked at it. It said fruity.

Xavier just stayed quiet and took a bite.

"Let's eat." Ritha took a bite.
They all eated.

"That was great fruit!" Clara said in satisfaction, "Very sweet."

"Yeah. We didn't eat vegetables or meat at all tho." Ritha added.

"Did you mean.." a smile creeped on Jayce's face, "That was very fruity?"

"...." Clara paused, then laughed, "That's funny!" As she patted on Jayce's back.

Xavier and Ritha just face palmed.
"Really, Jayce?" Ritha looked like she was so done.

"See you tomorrow." Xavier walked away and disappeared.

"Great!" Jayce said, "See you guys tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Clara said shortly.

Everyone left to their places to sleep.

Clara walked to her place as she heard a sound. The fire wasn't off yet. When she peeked, Jayce was there, staring at the fire with an empty look.

Ritha and Xavier didn't notice. Clara slowly walked there.

"Are you okay, Jayce?" Clara asked.

Jayce jumped and sighed.

Clara sat beside him, "Wanna talk about it? It always made me feel better."

Jayce shook his head, "My life's a mess."

"Hey." Clara put her hand on his shoulder, "Yeah. Life's a mess. But you've got friends to support you now."

"..." Jayce paused for a moment, "I was always used to non organic life forms, like machines, just like my dad. I.. never thought of having friends."

"Well, i'm here." Clara smiled.

Jayce took a deep breath, "My mom was a mechanic, she always made alot of amazing things. She was really kind, she was my idol. That's when dad fell for her.-

-They got married, and had me. I also had a little bro when i was 3. And one day, when i was 8, i always asked where my dad was. My mom always turned away from that topic. My little bro pulled me away from my mom, and that was the thirtieth time that day.-

-I stayed in my room, my bro tried to cheer my up but i didn't i overthought it, got angry.. and my fire got out of control."

Jayce's eyes were brimming with tears. Clara hugged him. Jayce didn't know how to react.

"It's okay. I can tell that your mom was amazing, and i know that she's somewhere looking at you and feeling proud of her son." Clara said softly.

"I killed her. I killed my bro.." Jayce trembled and looked at his hands.

Clara pulled away and held his hands.
"You're going to be okay." Clara looked into his eyes, "You've got us. Your bro must really admire you right now."

Xavier appeared, "Yeah."

"...did you hear everything?" Jayce turned around to see his face.

"No. But i heard that you killed your bro and mom." Xavier said.

Xavier snapped his fingers, and the spirit of Jayce's mom, Ms. Avaron and his bro appeared. But they were... floating.

"M-mom..." Jayce was stunned.

Ms. Avaron saw his face and hugged him.

Ms. Avaron gasped and started to cry. She hugged him really tight. Jayce hugged back as he cried too.

"Jay, you made me very proud." Ms. Avaron wiped Jayce's tear, "You're just amazing as your father."

"Big bro!!" George Avaron ran and hugged Jayce's foot, "You're so cool! Show me more of your machines. Pleaaaaaaase?"

Jayce cried and hugged his little bro. He hugged his mom.

"Jay. You've been a jewel to our family since you were born. Be proud because you're an Avaron. Don't look back on me and your little brother. Keep going on." Ms. Avaron hugged Jayce back.

"Okay.. mom.." Jayce smiled.

"I have to go." Ms. Avaron said.

"C-can't you stay any longer?" Jayce asked.

"Come on George." Ms Avaron said as she grabbed George's hand, "Remember, Jay. Don't feel guilty of yourself. You're amazing. Keep on going. Be strong!"

"Mom..." Jayce blinked, she and his little bro were gone.

"Thankyou so much.. Clara." Jayce smiled, "Thankyou too.. Xavier."

Clara smiled, Xavier just nodded.
"Have a good night." Jayce said as he went to his place.

"That was rare. You were nice." Clara said as she turned to Xavier.

"He's nice, so i'm nice." Xavier said as he turned to go back to his hammock.

"Are you trying to offend me?" Clara rolled her eyes as she went back to her place. She sat beside the river as she looked at the moon.
"Dad.. i'm happy that i still have mom right by my side." Clara said, "Thankyou."

Someone appeared he/she had a mask, Clara couldn't identify if the person was a girl or a boy.

"Break your ruler. NOW!" The person said with a gun against her head.

Clara bended her ruler. It's elastic.
"Oh no." Clara said with sarcasm.
Clara punched the guy, pulled the person underwater with water, and drowned him/her.

Clara bended inside the river.
Cool, i can breathe underwater. Clara thought.

The person fainted. She pulled the person up, ripped the mask of his/her face.

"No way." Clara muttered.
