Chapter Text
Heart’s eyes cracked open. He was lying on the floor, even though she had been standing a minute ago.
Their head hurt. It never hurt, not this bad. They sat up, remembering the agony he just went through.
“(Soul, you bitch.)” Juno paused. His voice didn’t sound right. Did it? “(What’s wrong with my voice?)”
Her tone was slightly emotionless no matter how much feeling they tried to put in. It sounded a bit more robotic, too.
His normally explosive, overwhelming emotions felt dulled now. It felt so strange. He wasn’t meant to be like this.
Her throat exploded into pain. He screamed, and for a moment- just a moment- the emotional side’s voice sounded like Mind’s modulator.
God, was this what Mind felt since he was shot?
Artemis was reminded of all the shit he had put Apollo through. She had hurt it so often, even tried to shoot him through the fucking skull. They had only recently let up with the insults and fighting.
Mind just laughed it off or smiled that smug smile Juno hated so much. Even after the ROE Incident, the most it had shown was shock.
That was what he was good at. That was what they had overlooked. He was resilient.
Not ever once, did he fall to his knees.
Heart felt his feelings becoming stronger again. Putting emotions into his voice was as simple as breathing. Whatever Soul did was wearing off.
Thank fucking god, Juno hated that.
She blinked and they were back home, next to Mind. They had been singing, he almost forgot.
Apollo smiled. Artemis mimicked him.
“([Tonight, we’ve survived out of pity and spite!])”
