      The Athena Parthanos was glaring at her. And it wasn’t
      just so feeling in her gut, those stone eyes where most 
      definitely glaring in her direction. In which, she glared
      on back, and then felt stupid for even bothering to glare
      at a stone statue. Hands curl around the rail of the 
      Argo II, onyx eyes reflecting the slowly dying sun that
      birthed inky shadows into which she would soon disappear.
      But not soon enough, it would seem as there’s a hand on
      her shoulder and a familiar voice at her ear.

            “No, Jason. I’m not.”

      She says a bit abruptly, turning to face the tall blonde.
      Resigned. Reyna is resigned to everything now —resigned
      to her position, resigned to having truly lost Jason eight
      months prior, resigned to taking on this suicide mission.

                                   ( She had really been hoping to
                                    avoid this conversation. )

          He wasn’t surprised when she said that she wasn’t nervous. This was Renya he was talking to, and even if she was nervous she would never admit to that out loud. It like her to do such, and Jason found himself smiling a little at her response. “I’ll be nervous for you then.”

        And in truth he really was nervous for her. He was nervous that this mission, one he wasn’t a huge fan of in the first place, would take away one of his closest friends. He was nervous that this would be the last time he could see Renya, and it would leave them with uneasy feelings that would last forever. “But with that being said I know you’ll make it out okay. You’re the strongest out of all of us after all.” And Jason had the utmost faith in her.

         { He just hoped that that strength wouldn’t be her downfall }
