    All the old guilt that Ody thought he worked through comes back up because he is forced to interact with some that was negatively impacted by his actions. I think was a way to cope Ody would tell be telling himself that Astyanax wouldn't have had family to look at him because Hector was dead and who knows what happened to his wife. It helped him live through his actions because he wasn't taking a baby away from his family he was just reuniting father and son but than he learns that their was someone that did morn Astyanax and what could have been and that person is part now part of his life.

    Cabin 7 people the only people not surprised that the hunt and Percy are friends because the know both groups. Also just everyone at camp thinking that the cabin 7 hates the haters and vise versa because the two groups have a prank way going on. It has been going on for so long that no one really remembers who started it but it wont be stopping anytime soon because at this point it just become tradition/family bonding.

    OO none of the Eldritch beings set the record straight about the blindness because they thought it was well known. They aren't sure why other people are bring it up like it was new so they just think that the evil people made it worse some how. Since none of them had to death with the noise thing they 100% think it was the work of the evil and demand their pound of flesh.

    Now I'm just picturing a god that looks more Eldritch than humanoid probably with some space theme going on just picking Apollo up and wrapping him up in a blanket and walking off. The Eldritch gods decided that the best thing to do was steal the baby sun god away because the earthly gods clearly failed at keeping their sunshine child safe. Apollo will just chill with the other Comos gods safe in a comfortable room (maybe a cozy blanket fort) where he can. They all take turns hanging out with Apollo and joining the hunt for what was left of the evil people. Apollo wouldn't be too happy because he was forced to separate with the rest of the Delos group leaving them with out the only way to connect Artemis without being over heard. (the hunt has a way to contact Artemis but their is a chance that Hermes will be able to over hear it)

    OOO, They end asking Artemis what happened because while they feel bad about bring up bad memories they need to know what could have happened to make a god loss most of their sight and all their hearing. She tries to tell them that the sight thing always happened but isn't believed because everyone thinks that it is the brainwashing talking. She does tell them that it is Apollo's choice to deaf and they think that it is anther victim blaming thing until she brings up that is was a copying mechanism. Everyone know thinks that Apollo deafened himself because he was the god of truth and it hurt to listen to the lies the evil people brainwashed him to thinking where true. Some still think the loss of senses where because of experiment and that Apollo is still in danger of losing his other senses but that is mostly because they don't want to believe the Apollo would harm himself.

    They would try so hard to help Apollo but nothing will work until some of the misunderstanding is cleared up and the Delos group knows that their is no big bad controlling everyone. Until them Apollo wont let his walls down around anyone not apart of the Delos group. Apollo might make it look like the help is helping in order to get people drop their guard around him to get more information and it would break everyones heart when their find out that all the progresses that Apollo was making was a lie.

    Ody and Pen are determent to gave their kids the best childhood. It doesn't that Hermes and Mr. D are gods, right now they are kid shaped and Ody and Pen are going to make sure they two of them have the best time to make up for their lack of childhood.

    OO, Heph making baby carries for himself, Athena, and Ares so they could carry their younger sibling but sill have their hand free. They tried carring the younger sibling in their pockets (the older siblings in the godly height form) but the younger ones didn't like not being able to see what was going on.

      Yea Ody would feel really guilty because his weak way of coping with what happened is completely gone now. I think Apollo would come around really quickly though because he has already visisted Astyanax in the underworld and bonded with his grandchild. Still it hits Ody harder than Apollo expected and that's a lead motive that gets Apollo to get over it and comfort Ody.

      Cabin 7 and the hunters didn't mean to hide their friendship but when they found out they just started to purposely leaning into it for the fun of it. They adore pretending to hate each other when the hunters are at camp and everyone else just has to watch the twins get along splendidly as their kids fight each other in the background.

      The Eldrich beings have no concept of morality and are fully willing to throw the evil people's souls into Tartarus. They hate the fact that Apollo didn't reach out for help since as non-earth gods their reach is really far. Maybe they think the evil people brainwashed Apollo into thinking they aren't friends which is why not only did Apollo not reach out while in their control, he still didn't reach out after being freed and they had to find out through other people. They're determined to convince Apollo they're all friends and protect him which is why they kidnap him. It's their form of bonding. They do tell everyone else though so the camp and the sibling group doesn't worry. Oo yess the hunters can talk to Artemis but they have to be really sneaky with their words and use subtle context and inner references. Hermes sometimes accidentally listens in, his domains sense his anxiety and fear that the delos group isn't safe and try to help him by making him listen. Hermes just thinks that they're references to their time in the evil people's hold and gets more worried. The domains are not happy that their plan didn't work.

      They just blame everything on victim blaming at this point because it's what makes the most sense in the context they think happened. Yea they all hate the idea of their sunshine boy hurting himself because his domains were struggling against the brainwashing.

      Yea Apollo is very wary so whenever they try to genuinely help him by asking him less subtle questions since he's the god of truth and can't exactly lie, he just skirts his way of them because he thinks the evil god is trying to get info on him. When he finds out there's no evil god he's confused but relaxes. Everyone is happy that Apollo isn't avoiding the questions anymore but quickly grows horrified because Apollo doesn't give the context to his answers (thinking the others already know) and it just makes the situation look worse. With how casual he's about it they think they never really succeed in deprogramming Apollo from the brainwashing and are heartbroken.

      The gods all had bad childhoods and the couple is determined to at least give Mr.D and Hermes the ability to think well about some of their younger moments.

      Heph makes the wildest children toys imaginable and it all starts with the baby carries. The kiddies are loving this because for once they get to be childish and not be judged for it.

        I think talking to Apollo would help Ody really start healing because he could have someone who has every right to hate him tell him that they were ok. Apollo could explain that the moment Zeus got involved Ody didn't have a choice it was either Astyanax or Ithaca, that any either path got wiped out the second Zeus started to melt. Apollo could also help remind Ody that death wasn't the end and he did get a chance to bond with his grandchild even after everything.

        It would be really funny if the hunters went out of their way to defend Apollo's honor and Cabin 7 doing the same to Artemis. So the camp watches as the hunters talk well about Apollo only to turn around and trash talk Cabin 7 and Cabin 7 doing the exact same thing. Everyone is extremely confused on what started the beef between the two groups, while the two group love the confused looks sent their way.

        OOO, the Eldrich beings going out of their way to remind Apollo that they are friends leading some weirdness. Like taking him on trips to go sight seeing and he end up meeting his first alien and once that door is open he gets to explore alien world with one of them acting as his babysitter to make sure he doesn't accidently get in trouble. Giving gifts that are a little over the top, like a blanket made out of star dust or maybe even one of the infinity stones because it was pretty space rock that had cool vibes (they are on a different power scale so the infinity stones would just be a cool rock to them) Maybe Apollo makes a comment about missing Percy or that he wished he could show this to Percy and the Eldrich beings beings are like no proble, and before Apollo could stop them they grabed Percy so Apollo wouldn't be missing his bf.

        Hermes domains see that listening in is just making their god stressed so they stop letting him listen in but that makes Hermes even more stressed because he thinks the hunters fond a way around him and is worried about them disappearing off the map again. The domains can't win and just let Hermes listen in because it seem like the best option. They just want their god to be happy but nothing they are doing is working.

        Maybe Heph makes Apollo noise canceling headphones so that Apollo could turn his hearing off without being deaf. Apollo puts them on and heal his ears to try them out but they aren't enough, it does muffle the universe somewhat but not nearly enough for it to be a solution. Everyone can tell that didn't work by Apollo pained face but they were all too slow to stop Apollo from deafening himself again. That sight of Apollo harming himself will revisit their nightmares for years to come. They now think that Apollo will stay deaf until the brainwashing goes away because his truth domain will continue to give him issued until he no longer believes the lies he was told. (when everything is over Heph will team up with the comos being that can hear the void to make a par of headphone that can block out that range of sound for Apollo)

        It is even worse because they know that everything that Apollo is saying is true because he can't lie.
