After making his report to Michael, Gideon took his leave to go and get cleaned up and find a room for himself in the big training house for the Scions.  He'd mentioned on his way out that he'd like to be a part of any force going to that village for any reason...namely because he wanted payback.  Most likely against the crystal and whoever had made it, but he didn't just want to sit around doing nothing.<br/><br/>The rest of the day passed for him as he recovered from his ordeal, and the next morning was here soon enough.<br/><br/>"God, six AM," he groaned to no one but himself as he got up after having Michael rudely bang on his door.  It wasn't like Gideon didn't get up at that time, oh, he did...but a man could still complain about it, couldn't he?  This wasn't school, after all.<br/><br/>Heading downstairs, he used the layout of the mansion that he'd memorized yesterday to get to the kitchen, where it sounded like all the rest of the commotion was.  He found the group soon enough, and greeted them all, making note of who he'd already introduced himself to, but doing it again for the benefit of the group.<br/><br/>He listened intently as Jessica explained what it was that they were going to be doing today.  Facing their dark self?  What the hell was this, a video game or some damn self-help inspirational book?  But, it sounded like that he was going to have to go through with it, from the sound of it.  Great.<br/><br/>Once that was explained, he went back up to his room...and realized he didn't have a damn swimsuit.  Damn.  Hell, for that matter, all he had in terms of clothes was what he had on...he'd look into borrowing one.<br/><br/>After acquiring it - basic black - he headed on down to where the rest of the Scions were meeting.<br/><br/>"Everybody."  His voice carried pretty well as he arrived.  And the people there would be able to notice something.<br/><br/>Gideon was no Arnold Schwarzenegger...but he was the son of a god whose strength was legendary.<br/><br/>So he looked pretty damn good, even if he wasn't like Tabby.
