Unmatched Victory

Jack stood in front of Noel, his arm extended. His friend didn't grab his arm immediately, still contemplating his decision. 

He had freshened up at once, showering quickly and scavenging for clothes for both Newt and Sharina, whom he knew had somehow already taken on some monsters and had donned tattered clothes already. Jack had also been sure to gather enough food and water, although Nike and Bia had assured him they would handle it when they returned to Olympus.

Zeus had also had a lot to say. The god had apparently come out from his stasis around the time he went over to his house to explain his situation to his mother. Being Zeus, he had rained down numerous insults on him, fending it all by calling him a hopeless dog. As usual, he had nonchalantly brushed it aside, just glad Zeus had finally returned.
