“So even if we find the epicenter of the problem and take her to it, she can’t magically save the day?”
“We’d only be stealing her from one epidemic to face another.”
“Well, damn,” I said eloquently. “So, the Sword of Perseus.”
“Tonight?” Apollo asked. “First we have to reconnoiter, eat and rest. Mycenae is many hours from here.”
“Does the great god fall with the sun?” Hecate taunted.
“Does the mother of witches fail to realize that the sun never falls, the Earth simply turns away, unable to stare too long at its glory?” Apollo fired back.
Hecate snorted.
“All right, children,” I said, both annoyed to have Hecate foisted upon us and amused to be the mature one in the group, at least temporarily. “We reconnoiter, eat and sleep. It’s not like we need a lot of sleep anyway. Five hours enough?”
Apollo and Hecate both gave me a surprised look, maybe expecting me, reasonably enough, to be the weakest link. “You’re enough changed now that you no longer need sleep?” Apollo asked.
“I didn’t need much last night.”
A look passed between us, and Hecate groaned. “Oh, get a room.”
“We’ve got one,” Apollo answered. “Unfortunately, you’re in it.”
“So no threesome then?”
