Hermes discovered they were tired. He had still all the marks in his body about what was happening, but when Apollo began to talk he imagined the pain. The powers were amazing because were a reminder about what they were in a time, but also, were a remaining they had a human part, and that human part made them weak. Hermes didnāt like the feeling.Ā āWe need to learn. We need to control it.ā He said determinate.Ā āI know, I am always afraid to fall everywhere. I finished once between a wall. But we need to learn.ā The last part of the phrase was more a thought he said loud, because he was not sure how manage, what exactly to do to learn to control his power. Or help his brother.
Apollo rolled his eyes, duh. āYeah, I get that. Obviously we need to figure it out. Isnāt that basically what the gist of what Iāve been saying?ā In all honesty though, Apolloās not even sure that heās even mentioned practicing. How would he practice though? His powers seemed to be more about control over his mind and he didnāt have any control, period!Ā āWhen we get to your place we should practice or like try to or whatever.ā
āEinstein.. really original.ā she said, giving him a small glare as she continued to be amused by her brother.Ā āNo, I guess neither of us have since way before you were seventeen in this life.ā she said referring to how the gods didnāt particularly stick around with their parents, and often found living arrangements based on their roles. She swatted his hand away after he poked her and extended her leg long enough to trip him gently, smirking herself as she took the first lemonade and sipped on it.Ā āDonāt let him fool you, heāll ask for a fresh lemonade but come back later and ask for syrup or ten packs of sugar .ā she said to the vendor.Ā
Apollo smirked, he obviously couldnāt go to the true original which would be her but if she was gonna tease him about it she was basically asking for it.Ā āYouāre right, what was that greek goddessās name? The one that was basically a know it all? Something with anĀ āAā?ā He smirk grew into a full thrown smile as he reached and took his lemonade from the vendor and spoke to him.Ā āDonāt listen to her, she thinks she knows everything.ā The vendor just kinda stared at him like he was crazy so Apollo started back down the block expecting Athena to follow him.
Athena narrowed her eyes, looking at the man that she had always looked at like a kid brother - perpetually youthful.Ā āAnd since when are you classifying yourself as an adult? two seconds ago you were practically jumping up and down and looking at knowledge like a personal brains jukebox that you could play with.ā she said rolling her eyes as she walked over to a vendor selling lemonade.Ā āHi, yeah your ad promises freshly squeezed lemonade and not that shit form of chemically produced powder so Iām going to need the product youāve actually advertised for.ā she said squarely to the vendor, looking at Apollo.Ā āFresh lemonade or the sugary kiddy drink for you?āĀ
Apollo raised an eyebrow.Ā āThe day every boy becomes a man.ā He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.Ā āKeep up Einstein. Besides, children live at home with their parents. I havenāt lived at home since I was seventeen. Thereās a difference between being a child and being immature just like thereās a difference between being an adult and being mature. Iām an adult, just immature.ā He pokes her nose and turns to the vendor to order for himself.Ā āFresh lemonade please,ā He then turns his head to Athena and smirks,Ā āāCause Iām an adult.ā
āI prefer the term realistic, but to each his own I suppose.ā Their work relationship consisted of a few short phrases and yet Apollo was now become a true nuisance to Morpheus as he watched the newly powered god take a seat on the couch. He wasnāt about to act like a gracious host and offer a drink, instead he shook his head looking up at the ceiling as if to ask what he did so bad that deserved a lingering visit from Apollo.Ā
Morpheus pulled out his phone, looking at his texts as the annoying prick spoke. āSo you will be calm and collected when a noisy room creates hundreds of discordant notes all directed at you? Impressiveā¦if you can do it.āĀ
Apolloās somewhat more cheerful then the previous few minutes in a room with Morpheus, quickly turned back to that loathing emotion as he mocked him. Well, he felt like Morpheus was mocking him and he wouldnāt put it past him to do so.Ā āWell Iām not really one to let go of a challenge so yeah, Iām gonna be fine.ā Though the room he thought about it heād probably have to shorten the amount of time he spent around those noises. The images lingered even after the sound faded like it was following the coat tails of the sound waves. This frustratingly made it seem like he was going deaf because he couldnāt hear the sound that created the wisp of colors the floated around in the air.
Maybe the proper solution to getting used to the sensory overload would be drinking. One drink, he was still healing from his shoulder injury and had taken some pain relievers hours ago. Heād be due for some more soon but he was hesitant to take anymore incase Morpheus was actually lying about giving him the wrong medication. Drinking might take a slight edge off.Ā āDo you have anything to drink? Itād be the polite thing to do as a proper host. Not asking if I wanted one kinda clashes with your classy digs.ā He said gesturing to his home.Ā āHow do you afford this with your salary?ā
āNot everything is like you are imagine it.ā Hermes took a moment and showed one part of the harm and the bruises he had.Ā āI donāt know how this thing works.ā He listened carefully the explanation. Maybe Apollo was not seeing the potential.Ā āYou can see what others donāt. I believe you are not seeing the big picture.ā He laughed.Ā āBeing redundant. But thinkā¦ You can see all the sounds? Everything has a sound. Including safety boxes, for example.ā He couldnāt avoid the idea, was in his nature.
Keeping one hand on the wheel as he drove he reached over and inspected Hermesā bruises. I guess it was true, the saying nothing comes for free. Both of their powers had a down side to them but they were powersĀ and thatās something to be celebrated. He rolled his eyes at Hermesā train of thought and spoke up as he handed Hermes his arm back.Ā āYou donāt realize how noisy the damn world is until you see every single noise. To be honest I feel like Iāve had a headache since I first woke up with these powers. I really just want to keep my eyes closed for like three days but would be even better would be to get this fucking under control.āĀ
Thanks to Apollo the suitcase was inside, but when Hermes thought he maybe had to drive he was scared. He couldnāt take the wheel because, exactly, he couldnāt not take the wheel in that moment. But he felt relieved seeing Apollo was to drive. He entered to the car and sat, passing his hand for his forehead. āMaybe is simply to explain, but not manage it makes me a little dangerous, believe me.ā He sighed while the car began to move. āI can pass through walls. Solid things. No boundaries.ā After he chuckled: the power was amazing, the real problem was he couldnāt manage it to his will. That was the real problem.
Apolloās jaw dropped as he heard Hermes description of his powers. They sounded fucking awesome compared to his own.Ā āLetās trade. I mean if that was humanly possible I would totally switch with you.ā He said as he kept his eyes on the road.Ā āAll my powers do is make sounds have their own visual. That and I can play instruments better then last week, but I mean what if that means Iāve just been practicing really well.ā
Below are a few of my ideas for the dream au. I suck at descriptions if you want further information or my thought process for any of my characters just contact me on one of them and we can plot something out or whatever. š Ā š

Please go in depth with this and describe the relationships. Go one step further and describe how your muse feels about the relationships and if/what they would change about it.
WARNING: THIS IS LONG.
Who is their Mother? (mortal/immortal, alive/deceased) Describe their relationship:
Mortal Mother: Apolloās mortal mother Kiara Payne is more of the brains in their family. Still fun loving and optimistic, but she is the collective conscious of both Apollo and his father. Kiara is all sugar and spice and over all the best mother known to man. Apollo loves his mother, the typical mommaās boy and it hasnāt changed even after he turned twelve and got his godly memories back.
Immortal Mother: Apolloās immortal mother Leto. He hasnāt found her in this time and heās not sure he ever will. He doesnāt typically find her in any time period but that doesnāt mean heās stopped looking. His mommaās boy status doesnāt change from his mortal or immortal mother. Sometimes heāll make up in his mind what he thinks his mother looks like in this time. He hopes she looks like him and Artemis, with warm eyes and a strong nose. Sheād probably have this bohemian vibe about her too. Heās sure heāll find her eventually.
Who is their Father? (mortal/immortal, alive/deceased) Describe their relationship:
Mortal Father: Apolloās mortal father is Kelvin Payne, and Apollo loves him. He really does, he just feels a lot of pressure from his father. Why are you not more like Karina? Yes, his sister is fucking amazing but Apollo is just as cool and heās well aware of it. People say that Apollo is a lot like his parents and itās true. His parentās are optimistic and adventurist and over all, balls of sunshine. Sometimes though, Apollo wonders if his parents are more like him. I mean he did come first didnāt he?
Immortal Father: Apolloās immortal father is Zeus is a bit of a handful. Apollo can see where he is like his father but he also sees the differences. Where Zeus cheats, Apollo likes his single status like a loop-hole. No one can ever says he cheats on someone if heās never really in a relationship to begin with.
Who are their siblings? (mortal/immortal, alive/deceased, if you are one of the Zeusā children you may select 3-4 to go in depth, or briefly talk about each, or be the real MVP and talk about all of them lmfao) Describe their relationship:
Artemis: Artemis has been his other half since the beginning of time. It doesnāt matter what time theyāre in theyāve always found each other, drawn to each other like platonic soulmates as most twins are. Artie and him have always been competitive with each other but always look to support each other in whatever they set out to do. Apollo wanted a dog, but as soon as he brings it home and his puppy meets Artemis the dog is no longer Apolloās by Artemisā. When will the cycle end? Nobody knows.
Athena: One word: showoff. Is it not enough that youāre Zeusā first pick to follow in his footsteps, but you also have to be better at everything! To be blunt, Apollo is jealous of Athena. Itās not like that was hard but it is frustrating. The day Apollo finds something Athena is not good at is the day he creates a holiday just for her. Itāll start with spiders, definitely with spiders. Heās already got a few plans up his sleeves.
Ares, Enyo & Eris: Typically Apollo likes to try to steer clear of these three. He likes positivity and he just doesnāt see it with the terrible trio. Itās all war, pain, chaos and anger. Yeah, Apollo has a temper that could probably rival some of theirs but he doesnāt like to stay in that state for long.
Hermes & Dionysus: Apollo is closer with his Hermes than he is with Dionysus though the three of them together would probably be the best party anyone has ever been to. Hermes and Apollo always seem to find each other no matter what time period theyāre in. Heās fond of both brothers equally and tries to make time to see them as much as he can.
Aglaea, Euphrosyne & Thalia: The graces always have a special place in his heart. Aglaea, the brat, Euphrosyne the bitch, and Thalia the babe or the three bās. His relationship with all three of them tends to vary on the situation though that doesnāt stop him from seeking them out. He appreciates them, but sometimes that appreciation is lost in translation.
More Immortal Siblings: Hebe, Caerus, Persephone &Aphrodite
Mortal Siblings:
Who are their children? (mortal/immortal, alive, deceased, if you are Zeus or Nyx or just a hoe, you may select 3-4 to go in depth, or briefly talk about each or be the real MVP and talk about all of them lmfao) Describe their relationship:
Asclepius: Apollo has always said he thinks heād be better if he had daughters. Alas, he has been blessed with a son for eternity. Just because Apollo wanted a daughter doesnāt mean heās not happy with a son like Asclepius. On the contrary, he loves him though he does worry that Asclepius holds some resentment towards Artemis and by association Apollo for asking Artemis to kill Asclepiusā mother.
Various Immortal Children with Thalia.
Mortal Children: Does Apollo have mortal children? Itās definitely a possibility. There was this one period in this lifetime where Apollo thought it was a good idea to donate his sperm to the sperm bank. His reasoning? Who wouldnāt want his godly genes? Thatās not even mentioning his numerous one night stands, though as of now heās not aware of any mortal children.
Other family members (nieces/nephews/cousins/ etc. that your God(dess) may be close to) Describe their relationship:
Pan & Tyche: Apollo appreciates Hermes children. He thinks itās humanizes him just a little more than his actual mortality. Apollo feels that if something was ever to happen to Hermes he would definitely step up and keep an eye on them for him, not that he thinks either of them need it. Itās more out of respect for Hermes.
Past Lover(s) (Why did they break up? How do they feel about it? etc, etc.)
Coronis: Coronis is Asclepiusā mother, murder by his sister, Artemis. Why? Because Apollo asked Artemis to kill her. He doesnāt take kindly to cheaters, and really who would cheat on him. Heās a god of almost everything. Heās awesome and she cheated on him. Does he regret it? Probably. Would he do it again? Definitely.
Thalia: Apollo and Thalia have had their affair throughout the time periods. He finds her sexy and fun and the sex was great but over time Thalia wanted more than Apollo was willing to give her. Some might say he grew tired of her and maybe thatās true but Thalia will always hold a place in his heart.
Current Lover(s) ( IF YOUR MUSE IS SINGLE WHO DO THEY HAVE A CRUSH ON OR WHO THEY THINK IS HOT?? lmfao)
Hestia: Hestia continues to resist him, but that doesnāt mean heās giving up on her. He wants her though even he doesnāt know what it is about Hestia that makes him like her so much. Maybe itās the fact that she resist him, or maybe itās the fact sheās resisted everyone and heās determined to be that one person Hestia no longer resist.
Who doesnāt he find hot?
Reaction to meeting someone new:
Apollo is charming, it doesnāt matter if youāre someone brand new to his life or someone whoās been there through out centuries of time. Apollo typically like you until he just flat out hates you. His temper makes him unlikable to most who actually witness it, however there is a handful of people who heās just that much closer with because they stick with him despite his temper.
Ability to work with others:
As much as Apollo thinks heās extremely helpful and a great person to work with, heās cocky and impulsive which tend to actually hinder any work getting done. Apollo flirts with the nurses and doctors at work but when it comes to his work he is prideful and does the best work he can do. Itās why heās the top surgeon.
How sociable are they?
Are there really any words to explain how sociable Apollo can be? When Apollo is not at work he likes to be social, that is if his mortal body will allow him to be. Work tires him out, sometimes heās too stressed to be any fun at all. Most of the time Apollo will enjoy life until he ceases to be reborn.
Who are their friends (closest, brotp, confidante)?
Hermes: Hermes would be his go to outside of his twin or even just a second opinion from his sister. Hermes is worldly and wise even though heās also an idiot. He means this in the nicest way. Apollo and Hermes tend to get in a lot of trouble and draw a lot of attention when theyāre together. The cattle incident will always be in the back of his mind but Apollo wouldnāt ever wish anything bad on his best bro dude.
Aglaea: Aglaea is the kind of confidant where he thinks he has to trick her into being his confidant. He thinks that Aglaea is a great person just to kinda hash things out with. They bicker which allows him to release even just a tiny bit of his temper. He doesnāt think Aglaea knows how much he appreciates her.
Dionysus: When Apollo turns to Dionysus for advice itās not typically the big stuff. Thatās good though because itās the little things that keep him up at night. There might be this small matter that keeps nagging him in the back of his head like a gnat and all he needs to do is visit Dionysus for a bit, drink a few beers maybe smoke some weed and suddenly all his small philosophical questions are answered.
Any pets? Describe how they are with their pet(s):
Growing up Apollo and Artemis had many pets. Most of them were just strays that he or Artemis would pick up off the street. Dogs, cats, bunnies, a snake, a baby deer, a baby fox. Anything. Most of their pets loved Artemis more than they liked Apollo. Itās part of the reasons Apollo hasnāt introduced his dog Moose to his sister.
Least favorite person and why:
Aphrodite: Cheaters man, they suck. Just from her reputation alone Apollo tries to steer clear of Aphrodite. He finds her attractive and sure heād probably have a one night stand with her if the opportunity ever did present itās self but thatās it. One and done.
Least favorite type of person and why:
Cheaters, pessimist, bad people. Over all Apollo thinks heās a good guy. A good, optimistic ray of sunshine. The opposites tend to clash with him and that just brings out his temper.
Parental type (if they are a parent):
In all honesty, Apollo is not the best father. In fact, he downright sucks at it even if he doesnāt think he does. The evidence is there in Asclepius though he thinks heād probably make a better father to a daughter. Chicks dig him.
Affinity to what kind of people?
Apollo is drawn to those who are optimistic, fun loving and daring. He like a bit of adventure and those who take risk. Over the years this has never really changed and itās not likely to change in the years to come.
Their role model(s) and why:
Beyonce: A.) Sheās extremely attractive. B.) She could rule empires. C.) SHEāS FUCKING BEYONCE
Artemis: Letās face it Artemis is perfect. Heās known it since well forever but heād never admit that to her ever because sheād never let him live it down.
Karina and Kelvin Payne: Who doesnāt look up to their parents. Even if theyāre not his real parents theyāre important to him and they live life to the fullest as he tries to do.
All the great musicians through out the years: DUH
āYou, and your always need for adulation, āhandsome faceāā Of course Hermes was teasing him. Apollo had his success withā¦ everybody, and he couldnāt deny the appealing, but he wonāt put more air to his ego. Maybe latter. He liked to see his brother in the same usual humor, not like the last time. He began to walk with his brother and the suitcase. āYes. China. Good. But boring. I mean, workā¦ They were annoying and I wanted to be here.ā He sighed, thinking in the destination, where he wanted to go.
He had to stop. āWhat are your powers?ā He whispered. The conversation will be good. āOh yesā¦ and was not good be in China with that. But I canāt do it when I want. Is weird.ā Hermes was still thinking how learn to manage it. He closed to the car and when he was to take the car door handle his hand passed through it. Well, at least was a sample for Apollo.
Apollo grabbed a suitcase and continued till they stopped right outside the car. Just two more steps Hermes and we could have had a safe space to talk freely. Patting his brother on the shoulder he smiled and opened the trunk of the car and tossed the bag in there.Ā āIāll tell you once weāre in the car. Get in.ā He said nodding to the passenger side while he moved over to the driverās side slipping his arm our of the sling so he could drive.
Once inside he turned to Hermes with a smile.Ā āI wanna know yours first. Mineās hard to really explain.ā
Morpheus let out an exhaustive sigh wondering if it was wrong of him to call security to drag Apollo out of his place. It would be a delightful sight to see, but the trouble it would bring countered it.Ā āNo. Iāve lived without them for quite a while and if I had them returned I would hope they never leave againā¦but they will.ā For the powers of gods to return to them meant it would be a short lived fiasco and he was not about to get caught in the crossfires of idiot gods.Ā āThis city is still looking for gods. Your powers, uncontrolled as they currently are, makes you a target.āĀ
āAre you always a cynic and non-believer? I donāt think Iāve ever realized it until we actually had a conversation longer thanĀ āmy patient needs this.ā andĀ āitāll be ready when itās ready.ā Itās like Iāve only just met you.ā He decides now would be a good time to make himself at home since heās calmed down from when he first entered the apartment.Ā
Crossing his legs he gives a shrug.Ā āMy powers, if this is what it is, is not something I canāt control. I mean my powers seem to only really affect me and therefore wonāt draw attention to me with the angry mob.ā
āDonāt be dumb, if we have fragments of our powers that means other Gods have them too.. and a bunch of idiotic olympians with their powers back is a recipe for disaster.ā she said, calculating the risks of each Olympian having their powers back in her head and biting her lip in annoyance.Ā ā26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 ligaments and tendons.ā
Apollo smiled widely at her spewing facts.Ā āThis is fantastic!āĀ Is it though? She did have a point.Ā Apollo really didnāt see it that way though, he saw it more as destiny and the way things are supposed to be.Ā āI mean, if someoneās gonna be an idiot thatās on them but weāre all adults here.ā He said with a shrug trying to disguise his normally childish behavior.
Hermes was distracted when he listened to Apollo. It was so good to see his brother. He had a lot on his head and leaving behind Nike, he only trusted in his big brother for important issues, what was happening to him. Everybody was having powers? Would they return to their old glory? When he saw Apollo with the sling, was a reminder about what happened. That was other problem and if people discovered now they had powers, could be their end. Hermes walked where his brother was.Ā āKalebā¦.ā He was so happy to see him, but when he approached, he tried to not hurt him in his shoulder.Ā āThanks to come for me. I needed to se a familiar face.ā
Hermesā mind seemed to be going a million miles a minute, or at least thatās what he picked up from his brotherās demeanor.Ā āThe proper compliment you should have tacked on there could have been āhandsome faceā. Iām well aware of how familiar this face is to you.ā He said clapping him on the back as he turned and started making his way to the curb where the car would be waiting.Ā āBut itās nice to see you too, and obviously your face is also familiar and very missed. How was China, was it China or was it something else? I can never keep up.āĀ
A few steps later Apollo couldnāt hold it in anymore.Ā āI have powers. Did yours come back?ā He whispered with a giddy smile.
