Tiodus flew the pegasus along the border of Canada and the United States. He looked ahead and saw the ocean not too far away. Once he reached the coast he turned the pegasus south toward Seattle, where Cory was waiting for him, Anabelle, and Jay.
Cory had fallen asleep now in the tree he was sitting in. He was leaning against the trunk and snored quietly, though his body was alert in case of an attack.
Erik Pontius strolled the streets of Seattle, his golden-yellow eyes watchful and looking at every face he passed. He knew Cory was here, and that means there was a chance Aaron was here. He stuffed his hands in his pocket and exhaled loudly in anger, he'd looked for his filthy brother for 4 years and still nothing about his location. And Erik was suppose to be the best at finding people.

Jay leaned against River, just as he'd risen from the shadows. "Hey man, long time no see!" He said with a smirk, "Whatcha doin?"

Anabelle searched the ground eagerly as she looked for Cory. As the pegasus neared the ground, she spotted him and Jay. She jumped off and ran over to him.

Cory had woken up to Jay appearing by him and he yawned, "Hey Jay. What are you doing here?"
Cory heard running toward him and was turned in an instant, his sword up and ready. He saw it was Anabelle and he dropped his sword immediately and pulled her into an embrace. He hugged her tightly, as if she might vanish if he let go, "Gods Anabelle, I missed you so much. And I guess that answered my question to you Jay..." He still hugged Anabelle as he spoke to Jay, "I thought Tiodus had gotten Anabelle. Where'd he go?"
Tiodus walked out from behind a tree, "I had to hide the pegasus. I should get going, lots of...stuff to do. See you soon Cory." His eyes darkened slightly and he turned and walked away, waving to Cory as he went.

"Yeah, I wasn't sure about this fella here," Jay mused, " So I tagged along, plus after we're done here, I may need your help."
Jay paced in front of their group, "so what's the deal?"

Anabelle hugged him back tightly and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. 'I missed you too." She waited for his answer to Jay's question, though no matter what it was, she was just happy to be with him again.

Cory gave a sigh, he knew he'd have to say this sooner or later. "Where you ever a bounty hunter Jay? Most children of the Underworld are at one point, so they can live. Well...I was sorta like a bounty hunter before I met all of you guys. It's how I met some of my best friends, like Tiodus. But...this one guy has always haunted me. His name was Erik Pontius, he was the one who almost always gave out assignments.
"I had quit being a...well a hunter a few weeks before I met Anabelle. Before I met Jerez or kid ghost Jay, now you, or River. Erik kept tabs on me and he's finally found me again. He's done some...stuff to me throughout my years. He's cursed me and ruined anything good I've had in my life all because I won't tell him anything about his brother. His brother...if you haven't guessed yet, is our Aaron. Aaron Pontius, Son of Pluto. Erik wants to find him and kill him. I don't know why, all I know is that Erik will do whatever he needs to, to get information out of me, even if that means killing Anabelle." He squeezed Anabelle tight, hoping his grip would protect her.
He sighed and mutters, "I-I don't know what it is about Erik but whenever I'm around him I just freeze and I can't control myself. I'm so much more powerful then him now, but yet...I'm scared of him."

Anabelle's eyes widened slightly, and she was about to ask if Erik was related to Aaron before Cory said that he was. She knew Cory and she knew he would never forgive himself if something happned to her. She gave him a soft smile. "Now that I'm here, I don't think even Zeus himself could get past you. Everyone's scared of something, and you've got Jay to back you up. I'll be fine Cory." She said, hoping to reassure him that she wasn't going anywhere, though she knew he wouldn't be at ease till Erik was dealt with. And though she knew her own limits, she wasn't a daughter of Athena for nothing. She wasn't scared, concerned maybe, but the one she was really worried about was Cory. He'd sacrifice himself for her in and instant and that was what worried her.

He let out a slightly reassured sigh as Anabelle comforted him. He kissed her on the head, a small and simple gesture that ment he would do anything for her. He looked at Jay, "It's actually really helpful that you are here, two children of the Underworld that are ex bounty hunters can take one that still is a bounty hunter. Right?"

Anabelle only half-listened, lost in her thoughts for a moment. She knew it wasn't anyone's fault, but part of her hated always having to stay one step behind Cory because she'd be powerless against whoever they were facing. When it came to simple swords, she was great. It was when you got into everything else that she had to step back and let someone else take care of the problem. Power wasn't what she wanted at all. It was the independent side of her that just hated always needing protection. "Is there anything I can do?" She asked finally,

Cory turned to her and was about to reply then he stopped, realizing what she must be thinking. He smiled and reached for her hand, "Actually, yes. Since a lot of these guys are powerless, you'll need to brush up on sword fighting. Plus if we can get you the right sword, you can fight back against the guys with powers. We'll also need your strategy expertise to make a plan of attack and defense, when needed."
