Seth sighed. "I know. I just wish I could have gotten more."

"At least now we know Pan is involved." Nika yawned briefly. "And he'll be harder to deal with than any demi."

"Yeah," Dawn replied. "Tricksters always are." She sent a teasing glance towards Seth. She knew very well most of his siblings could be classified as such.

Seth just rolled his eyes. "Yeah, but my siblings aren't Pan," he said tellingly.

"Same idea, different caliber," Dawn replied, waving a hand. She grinned a bit and leaned against him. "We'll figure out some way to fix all this."

"Eventually." Seth pulled her closer, trying to relax again.

"Shouldn't be too hard once we find the buggers," Nika mumbled, half-asleep from Jason's ministrations.

"Right," Dawn agreed as she cuddled closer to Seth. She started humming softly to him, trying to help him relax.

Seth relaxed slowly, calming down to the point where he was about ready for a nap too. He snorted when he noticed Nika had already fallen asleep, her head resting back against Jason's shoulder.

Dawn was curled up on the couch, snuggled in next to Seth. Jason had maneuvered so Nika was leaning against him, and he'd ventured to put one arm around her waist a bit.

Seth pulled her a bit closer, getting comfortable there while he could. He figured they'd have to be going again sometime soon anyway.

After a too-short but much-needed rest, the four ended up piled back in Dawn's car heading back to DC. It seemed like the best place, with an entrance to Olympus and the Underworld right next to one another. It meant that they would be able to take care of whatever needed to be done in practically the same place.

Nika was somewhat more relaxed, but still expecting to have to call on some of her older half-siblings to help deal with the mess. Because, really, Pan was a good fighter, and when he wanted to fight, he'd get a fight. And Nika knew she couldn't handle him alone.

Because god bolts hurt like a bitch.

Seth, on the other hand, was quiet and tense. He was not looking forward to this. Last time it had been more action and reaction and less time to think. This time he was just not looking forward to the whole ordeal, since he had some idea how bad it could get.

Jason, surprisingly, was driving. Dawn didn't want to take the chance of having a vision while driving, especially with something so important about to go down, so she let her brother drive and gave Nika the front passenger seat so that she herself could sit in the back with Seth.

Nika was quiet for the drive, and shivered briefly when they got out.

"So where do we go from here?" She glanced at the others.

"I'm not sure," Dawn admitted, and her brother shrugged as well. "I haven't seen anything." She glanced at Seth, in case he had anything to add.

Seth shrugged. "Yeah, I've got nothing."

Nika sighed. "Great. Start looking for a really horny guy messing with things."

Jason snorted.

"That's half the world population," he deadpanned. He knew what Nika had really meant, of course, but he couldn't help that one.

Nika shot him a Look that said he'd pay for that later. Seth just snorted and started looking around, not entirely sure what he should even be looking for.

Jason just slapped on a bit of a shit-eating grin (clearly having spent too much time around Seth) and followed them. Hey, if the Hermes guy wasn't going to crack a joke, the solemn duty fell to Jason. Dawn just rolled her eyes, but paused when she caught a vision.

"...I think I know what the demi we're looking for looks like," she murmured after a moment, through the vision. "Kind of exotic, actually... Blonde, but tan, with hazel eyes..." She blinked out of the vision and made a face. "I almost want to pin him as an Aphrodite guy. He's got that conceited look."

"Yeah, but her kids aren't that smart. They're pretty to look at, but that's all they've got going for them." Nika made a face.

"You mean like you've got weapons training and brawn going for you?" Seth quipped.

"Keep it up and I'll ram my boot so far up your ass you'll be eating it."

Seth wisely retreated to the other side of Dawn. And shut up.

"Just like all Apollo spawn are healers?" Dawn pointed out, regardless. "I still wouldn't rule it out that he's Aphrodite spawn. Stranger things have happened."

"This is true." Nika shrugged, and then blinked when she noticed someone sprinting a little ways away, heading towards the middle of the memorial loop. "...You mean kinda like him?" From what she could see he looked right.

Dawn blinked and focused on the person across the way.

"That's him," she said, nodding. "That's the one I saw in the vision."

"Right." Nika took off after him before he could get out of sight, pelting across the way.

Seth watched her go before he followed with a sigh. He did not like running, and he figured Nika could hold the guy for a minute once she caught up to him, so he didn't sprint after them. But he did start after them.

Dawn and Jason both took off after Nika as well. They knew she could handle whatever the other guy threw at her, so they weren't worried about that, but they didn't want to lose sight of her.

Seth trailed in the back a little bit, but he kept track of Dawn.

Nika followed the guy over to the Jefferson Memorial and he slipped into a back entrance. Growling, Nika followed him, leaving the door ajar for the others to get in. Oh she was going to kill this guy when she caught up to him.
