where: a fountain somewhere in London

who: Henrick and Echo ( @echoagainst ) 

“What. The fuck. Are you doing?” 

When he’d seen her during the battle, he’d felt a brief flash of panic, alarm. He knew she could handle herself, but what worried him more was the side she was fighting for.

And the implications that held.

He’d seen the moment she’d been injured, and had had to hold himself back from sprinting over to rip the head right off the shoulders of the person who’d hurt her. But he’d found some restraint, and had resigned himself to tracking her down once everything was over. 

There was blood dripping from his temple, dirt and bruises and scrapes littered across his body, and everything ached. What he needed was rest so that his wounds could heal.

Instead he’d spent an hour looking for Echo after the battle - only to find her ankle-deep in a fountain of all things.

The ridiculousness of finding her in a fountain made him want to laugh, but he found that he couldn’t.

“You’re hurt,” he stated, simply.

I hope your holiday has been going well, Miss Hill!

And while yes, I’ll agree that my dogs are fancy, they are more so fluffy than fierce.

PM: Hey, madame Shark... I know you're probably offline from the world like Dara but... Y'know, if you need anything you can always hit me up. Also, uh... I've got a friend who is like really good with computers and can throw some untraceable DDoS at those bastards. Can't guarantee they will stay down for more than a couple of hours. But... They're on it. Just wanna help.

PM:  As kind as your offer of virtual vindication is, I have to decline.  Hacking makes me uneasy.  Though I notice that you say ‘bastards’.  Plural.  Which bastards are you referring to exactly?  TMZ and the other gossip sites spreading Dara’s privacy all over the internet?  The damage is done.  Blacking out their websites will accomplish nothing other than to make this ‘scandal’ bigger than it needs to be.

As far as I’m concerned, there is a singular bastard at the center of all this, and her mindbogglingly puerile and reprehensible actions will effectively cannibalize her modeling career.  And if it doesn’t, I will see to it myself that she never models for a major designer or brand again.  

If you want to help, Dara needs support.  She’s…gone off the grid, but when she surfaces, be there for her.

SNAP //: OPEN

waveswillecho: ready for tonight. waveswillecho: can’t wait to see you.

Echo pulled the blanket over his head on the couch as helistened to his roommate get ready. He hated how he didn’t work. He couldn’t dothe same job he did before, he could not talk. Talking was part of the job andhe couldn’t even say a word that wasn’t his. He was certain that was why his roommate liked him now. He could not talk. Just repeated whatever was spoken to him.

“Echo, pay attention.”

Pushing the covers down, Echo sat up and looked over at his roommate who was looking over himself in his mirror. Again. If his hair wasn’t perfect, something else was wrong.

“Something’s missing…”            

He could almost hear the gears turning in his head. His beautiful, empty, head. “Missing,” Echo sighed, pointing at the counter. He pointed towards the jewelry that he had forgotten to put on for the night.

“There it is,” Echo heard as he let his arm drop onto the couch. He enjoyed watching his roommate get ready for a date. He knew Narcissus liked being watched. Echo did a lot of watching lately.

Part of him wanted his roommate to leave. He had been in a bad mood for a week and now. All Echo wanted to do was watch Netflix in peace for a while and not worry about the dishes having to be done because dummy could not be bothered to do his own dishes.

He just wanted to finish House of Cards at this point.

"Tell me I'm going to have fun tonight."

"Going to have fun tonight," Echo sighed, leaning his cheek against the couch and watching his roommate admire himself one last time before his phone started to buzz.

Not even a later was sent his way as Narcissus left the apartment. 

Bye he thought pitifully, curling up onto the couch.

Next Morning || Echo & Narcissus

Echo felt warm. It was the overwhelming feeling he felt as he curled into the body that was still next to him. He smiled to himself, loving every moment that he was able to be next to Narcissus with his arm around him. He felt safe and wanted for a change. Turning over so that he was facing the sleeping form of his roommate and pressed himself closer, wanting to bury himself in Narcissus' form.

You Should Have Told Me

Zeus was a womanizer. What else should Hera come to expect from her husband? What she didn’t expect was this child to somehow be involved in helping him. He wasn’t a child. He was older than that. He was twenty something. She couldn’t remember but either way she was angry.

He took her shopping. Told her stories that made her laugh. Took all sort of classes with her to keep her company and in shape so that she would be wanted by her husband. Instead all of that was a lie. He did all of it for her husband. For his benefit. All so he could sneak out behind her back and stick his dick someplace it didn’t belong.

But seeing his smile, seeing that bratty child smile at her was far more than she could handle in this moment. Storming up towards him, she raised her hand and slapped him with the back of his hand.

“You stupid child” she hissed, hitting him again, knocking him to the ground this time. “You should have told me. Instead you help him!”

The only thing she could see at this point was the child who was on the floor, trying to protect himself from her blows. She wanted him dead. She wanted him to pay for what he did. For what he help conspire.

“You should have told me” she cried, turning towards the wall and sliding down it. She put her hands through her hair and cried into her knees. Her husband didn’t love her. He couldn’t love her if he did what he did. If every time she spent with Echo was a moment in which he cheated on her, they were endless. She would deal with him next. She would make him pay for what he did. For humiliating her. Everyone had to know how he left her bed in favor of others.

Hera glanced up and looked over at Echo on the ground. She could see the blood pooling around his body and she felt nothing. He took Zeus’ side rather than her own and he deserved every ounce of misery this brought upon himself.

Taking out her cell phone, she dialed the police, tears still in her eyes as she stood up. “Help, there’s been an accident. My friend. Someone’s hurt him.”
