When the Riverstyx Freezes Over

[explosiveKitten]

Helena looked ready for just to hear just about anything. In fact, she was expecting something much worse. But what Jason said was the least of her expectations. "You... You don't... You don't remember? We- we were- You don't even remember who you are?" She said, her eyes wide, then she rubbed her head, "I mean, I thought this might happen, but- gods, you have AMNESIA?!" She shouted, then reeled back holding her head, "OF ALL THE CRUEL TWISTS IN MY LIFETIME-" she pounded a fist against the wall, staring down at the floor, she just felt like crying.


But she didn't. She fought the urge to cry and instead stood up, staring at the wall. Then she wiped her face off and grabbed Jason's hand, "Come on, lets go to my apartment. I'll explain everything there." With that, she took off, dragging Jason along behind her.

Jason watched as Helena reacted to what he had said, he was concerned to say the least as she vented he caught on pretty quick and his mouth dropped open, "Oh damn." It was then that he felt Helena snatch up his hand in hers and pretty much dragged him backwards, he stumbled and turned having to walk at a faster pace than normal to keep up. "Right behind you."

Upon running into her apartment building, Helena stopped Jason in front her apartment's door. "Just uhhh... Wait here. I have to make sure my roommates aren't having sex on the couch or something... Hahaha-" and with that, she slipped into her apartment and closed the door behind her.


She felt like her brain was about to explode! Jason was here, standing outside her door when she had thought he was gone forever, adrift in the ocean for all eternity! But no, that's not the end! No, not only was he here, BUT, BUT! He didn't remember who he was, what happened that summer, what they had...


That was what hurt the most.


She strode out into the main living space. The room was small, but it had a couch bed on one wall, a leather chair and a mediocre tv.


No roommates f***ing on the couch. That's a good sign. In fact, she didn't even hear ANY sex noises. Hannah and Tiffany's bedroom door was wide open!


".... They're not here.... THEY'RE NOT HERE!" She shouted gleefully, then jumped up and down happily, spinning around and laughing, before she proceeded to run into the small kitchenette and begin digging through her personal cupboard, "F*** YEAH! BREAK OUT THE KRAFT MAC AND CHEESE, POP IN THE BON JOVI, I AM F***ING HUNGRY!" She pulled a box of Mac and cheese and prepared to start cooking when she remembered she left Jason outside in the cold, and she smile faded.


Suddenly the apartment door was thrown open, and Helena was laughing nervously with her face bright red, "Hahahahahhaaaa I'm sorry, come on innnnnn...." She said, stepping out of the doorway and gesturing inside. The smell of cooking pasta wafted out of the doorway, warm and inviting.

Jason smiled and laughed a bit awkwardly but waited outside patiently only to hear some joyful shouts inside. This perplexed him a little but he figured that probably meant that there were no roommates screwing on the couch. Jason waited a little longer rocking back and forth from heel to toe with his hands folded behind his back. He looked up towards the ceiling then looked at the number of the door memorizing it in case he would need it again, it was only at this moment that he felt the warm trickle on his cheek. He brought his hand up and wiped it off looking at his fingers to see his blood staining them, he remembered during the fight when he split his cheek open. He wanted to facepalm himself wondering just what he looked like walking the streets with blood running down his face. Jason then thought to get something to mop up the rest of the blood when Helena suddenly opened up her door with a smile and a quirky laugh. Accepting her invitation Jason stepped through the threshold and into the warm Mac and cheese scented apartment, "So this is where the badass chick of the hockey team lives huh. I like it.." Jason smiled and looked Helena in the eyes something inside of him relieved that he was finally with her a little buzz in the back of his skull that told him he was somewhere safe, somewhere he should have been a while ago. "I knew you somewhat...intimately didn't I? Would it be wrong to say I want that back?"

Helena was busily stirring the Mac and cheese, taking several spoonfuls and stuffing them in her mouth in a rather unladylike manner, moaning happily at the creamy cheese sauce, licking her lips and chewing loudly, and swallowing, breathing out and sighing. "Oh my god it's so good... " and she was about to dive in again, when Jason said something rather odd.


"Well... Yeah." She said, turning to look at him, wiping her face off with her sleeve, "I would have thought that the fact that I kissed you the minute I saw you made that obvious." She put the Mac and cheese down, then walked over to him and turned his face, "oh my god, look at you! Why didn't you tell me about this?!" She shouted, gesturing at his blood stained cheek, then rushed to the refrigerator in the corner and threw it open, pulling out a small cup from the cabinet above it and putting it on the counter. "God, you've been bleeding this entire time? God damnit, you haven't gotten any smarter since I last saw you!" She flicked his forehead, "Stupid!" She made a face, then pulled out a quart jug of what appeared to be apple juice, and poured it some into the glass, then once that was done, she put the top back on and put it back in the fridge. "Here, drink this." She said, picking up the glass and handing it to him.

Jason shrugged, "I didn't want to worry you, it should heal up pretty well it's not like it would be my first scar-ow!" He rubbed his head where Helena flicked him and pouted like a child, "That hurt Helena. And what's apple juice gonna do for me anyways??" He said this while still accepting the cup absolutely loving apple juice. Jason's fingers had brushed her sparking an old habit that he wasn't very conscious of. He had mindlessly interlocked his fingers with hers but seemed not to notice as he took a sip of "apple juice".

"It's not apple juice, it's nectar. It'll heal your face just fine. Won't even be a scarrr...." Her words trailed off as Jason twined his fingers with hers. She stared at it for a minute, then covered her face, trying not to cry from the utter joy of being able to do this. She sucked in a breath, trying to keep her breathing regular, then suddenly she looked up and squealed, "Whoa, whoa, slow down there!" She used her not occupied hand and snatched the glass from him, "You can't drink too much of this stuff, otherwise you could quite possibly spontaneously combust. And while thats not painful, I wouldn't suggest it." She said, then looked at the nectar and shrugged, downing the rest of it. "Ahhhh... Gordon's homemade cookie brownies. Mmmm...."

Jason huffed, "I thought I was supposed to drink the whole glass isn't that why you poured that much out...and why would you give me some- what the...." Jason felt a different tingle in his cheek and could feel the flesh putting itself back together. "Oh...that's why." Using his free hand he touched his cheek then noticing his occupied hand he looked at Helena, "Uhh.....when did that happen? And why isn't this 'nectar' in hospitals?" He pointed to their hands as he spoke though made no move to extract his fingers enjoying th oddly familiar sensation.

Reluctantly Helena retrieved her hand from the hand holding, "Because ordinary mortals would for sure spontaneously combust if they drank this stuff. It's god food, definitely not for mortals." She said as she turned back to the Mac and cheese, spooning some more out for herself and putting the rest in a ziploc bag. "The both of us, we are half god, so we're lucky enough to be able to taste this stuff. Pretty good, huh? ... What did it taste like?" She said, turning to him, "The nectar what did it taste like to you?"
