Shameless Display

Athena inhaled deeply, as she watched herself in the mirror, prepping herself for the journey ahead. Ewan had recognized her. Her father too. 

She sighed, and washed her hands in the sink. 

To be honest, she had expected it. She hadn't changed much after all; and she hadn't taken Gianna's advice to undergo plastic surgery before returning to the city.

'To enjoy a peaceful existence.' Her friend had remarked.

No. She had chosen rather to come back as she was, because somewhere within her, a darkness lurked, seeking revenge.

She wanted them to pay for the evil they had committed against her. 

Athena would have loved to start her revenge plan now, but she remembered the deal she made with Gianna. 

Seeing her foes though, she wished she hadn't done so. 

Watching her hands try to steady themselves, she wished she hadn't agreed to the deal.

But she wasn't one to break a promise, so she would wait.
