Ataraxia [BTS au | Heroes of Olympus]

Cheers and yells erupted around the hill. The campers screamed like banshees. Their pain forgotten in the moment of happiness and victory. There were some major injuries, and they were taken to the infirmary, but nothing more. The Apollo cabin members brought out ambrosia and nectar, passing it along the demigods. The Party Ponies were leaving after Chiron thanked them repeatedly. His army of undead also melted into the earth.

Jin was the first one who found him. Jin almost choked him to death screaming 'you're alive' again and again. Namjoon found him like that wrapped around by Jin and he joined still shocked and confused, but relieved. Then came Taehyung and Hosoek. Taehyung rambling non stop about how he couldn't handle if something happened to any one of them and Hosoek scolding him non stop for jumping in to help him.

"I would do it again." He said sternly and Hosoek broke into tears. The last of the seven, Yoongi found the group huddled together. When his eyes met Yoongi, he looked furious and angry, but he didn't think any of them were directed at him. Then the mask fell. Pain, hurt, worry and relief took its place.

He took steps towards Yoongi, who started talking. "You." He said accusingly. "You broke me." He paused again. "I have only cried once in my entire life and that was when my mother died when I was 5. You. Made me. Cry. Again." He didn't know what to say so he just listened.

"You stupid dumb kid. Who the hell do you think you are? Do you even know what what you are doing? Who even let you go on this quest? Can't you even use your brain for once?" He didn't say anything back. He stepped forward and wrapped him hands around the older.

"I missed you. And I love you too Yoongi." He mumbled and took a step back with a smile. The older looked at him with conflicted eyes, then pulled him for a tighter hug.

"I missed you too, you idiot."

Jimin was petting Mrs. O'Leary, first cautiously then excited. "Don't you think this is when you explain the hellhound?" Namjoon said from behind him. They were still outside, some campers were going to the dining pavilion where Chiron will soon be announcing what had happened with their quest and then later have dinner.

"Oh. This is Mrs. O'Leary. She is a hellhound from the Underworld." He said.

"You were in the Underworld?" Taehyung asked.

"Yeah. Well I really didn't die actually before the column hit me I shadow travelled or so what's my father says."

"I didn't know you could shadow travel." Yoongi said surprised.

"Me too. But in that spur of moment it just happened with the help of Hades and then I woke up in his palace."

"So Hecate was not technically lying." Hosoek said unconvinced. "She said you were not under the ruins and you have gone to Underworld."

"She didn't have to so cryptic about. Couldn't he have just said that you were not dead?" Jin gritted out.

"She is not the god of death. Maybe she can't know if he was dead or not." Namjoon said.

"Mrs. O'Leary is a hellhound I met when i first went to the Underworld. She is sweet unlike other hellhounds and we get along really well. She can also shadow travel. That's how I got here." He explained. "But how did you guys get here so fast and where is Argo II?"

"Zeus slapped us across the country." Hosoek mumbled.

"Excuse me?"

"He literally slapped our ship from Greece to Long Island. With the speed with which we were flying we couldn't stop it from crashing. We got out before is crashed." Yoongi said.
