Call
Corey hurried back into the old club and looked up the number for the Defenders.

"Hello, this is Corey Drake, Antaeus for the Champions of New Orleans. May I speak to Andy, please?"

	Andy is hard at work in his office, trying to stay ahead of things with Scion so that Sydney doesn't get overwhelmed. The call is forwarded directly to him and, for a moment, he thinks it's Mr. Stark with "just one more thing" for him and Sydney to remember. "Good afternoon, this is Andy Walters." he says, professionally. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That got Andy's attention immediately. "How do you know Argo, Mr. Drake? And can you tell me what's happened to him?" Andy asks. He speaks very infrequently with his brother, something he wishes to change, so he's not immediately aware of who Argo's friends are...or his enemies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're on the Champions together. It's Harmony -- did you know about Harmony? His girlfriend. Like, no spaces between the words girlfriend? She's --" Corey chokes a little. "She's dead and.... she's apparently in Hell, and Argo wants you here as soon as you can be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Wow. It takes Andy a moment to really put all of that together. Argo's appetites for women and fighting are as well known as their father's; he'd never expected that Argo would settle for just /one/ woman.

Argo just enjoyed life too much to be a one-woman man. He was a lot like Hal in that way.

"Gods, I...I didn't really know about Harmony. I heard there was someone from one of our cousins, but I didn't know it was serious.

Tell Argo I'm on my way as soon as possible. Sooner if you know a teleporter and I can't get a friend of mind to send me herself." Andy says.

"Should I come armed?" Andy asks.

	"Yeah, please do. Call back if your friend can't send you. We've got a teleporter, but Argo doesn't want to tell our girls unless there's no other options." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No problem. Thank you for calling me and tell Argo that I'm on my way." Andy says.

Once they hang up, Andy has to make some decisions. He could ask and likely get Marlow to teleport him to New Orleans, but...if they had to go to Greece, she'd want to go out of concern for Titan. Andy didn't like the idea of going to visit Hades, since the protections of Olympus didn't extend to him and Titan.

But for Argo, he'd take the risk.

He sends Jenny an e-mail, hopefully not a final one, and then goes to find Dawn while Titan protests in his mind.

	Dawn could be found in the library, carefully studying a spellbook, absently scribbling some notes down on parchment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, Dawn? Hey, I need a huge favor from you. Two, actually." Andy says, walking into the library. "I don't know if you knew my brother, Argo, but...his girlfriend just died and he needs me out in New Orleans. Do you think you could teleport me there?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was before Dawn's time, but she had a smidgen of Asleif's memories rattling around in her skull. One of them included a handsome Olympian god, always smiling... "Oh, God, I'm sorry...." she began. "I can teleport you, no problem." "...What's the other favor?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"The other favor is that I need you to /not/ tell Marlow I left. I may need to go home to Greece, and speak with an uncle of mine. I'm not exactly well-liked back home, so there's a good chance I might not come back.

Titan promised Marlow something, and I'm about to break his promise, but I don't want her getting involved in this on his behalf anymore than I'd want my own girlfriend doing it for me." Andy says, taking a deep breath.

"I'm not asking you to lie, but I am asking you not to volunteer the information." he says, suddenly covering his eyes.

"I need you to do this now before Titan has a chance to wreck the whole thing."

	Dawn swallowed. "I... can do that," she said, after a moment. "Your secret's safe with me." She nodded, started to weave the spell. "Where do you need to go in New Orleans?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy provides Dawn with the address. "Dawn, thank you again for doing this. I really appreciate it and I'll make it up to you if I come back." Andy says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dawn managed a nervous smile. "You'll be back. I'm sure of it." She finished the spell, and sent him on his way. (Reply to this)(Parent)
