Alexis

**Alexis** is an Olympian Sphinx. In ancient times, she guarded the path to Thebes. She was chosen by Diana to go on a quest to Earth with Emily Jacobs, Joel DeSilva, Paelen, Pegasus and Chrysaor to see if the CRU had made Olympian clones. She ended up falling in love with Tom, formerly known as Agent T. When she found out that he had been critically injured, she asked Jupiter to change his form to save his life. Jupiter turned him into a willow tree, and Alexis settled down on Olympus with him.

Alexis was heartbroken when Juno told her that she had to come back to the palace. However, Emily and Riza managed to turn Tom into a Sphinx so that they could be together.

She later helped Emily plan her trip to Earth to save Agent B, Stella Giannakou, Earl and Frankie from the CRU.

## History

n ancient times, Alexis guarded the path to Thebes, and she challenged anyone who approached her with a riddle. If they got the answer wrong, she would kill them or sometimes eat them. The only person to ever guess the correct answer to one of her riddles was Oedipus, and when he did, she returned to Olympus, however the myths wrongly say that she killed herself.

## Pegasus and the New Olympians

Alexis was the goalkeeper for the Hercules Heroes team in the first ever Olympian football match. When Joel DeSilva scored against her, she got angry and kissed him. Afterwards, she teased Emily Jacobs about being jealous of her.

When Joel, Emily, Paelen, Pegasus and Chrysaor saw a racehorse called Tornado Warning in the Earthnewspapers that looked remarkably similar to Pegasus, they asked Diana and Pluto for permission to go on a quest to see if the CRU had made Olympian clones. They agreed to let them go as long as Alexis went with them wearing Pluto's Helmet of Invisibility. When Emily didn't want her to go with them, Alexis asked Emily a riddle and told her that if she got the answer correct, they could go without her. Emily guessed the wrong answer.

The six of them went to Earth and tried to use Paelen's sandals to find Tornado Warning, but they weren't able to, possibly due to the fact that he's a clone. The group eventually decided to wait until night, and then see if Earl Jenkins could help them. They settled in a clearing, and Alexis walked away until night when Emily insulted her.

When it was dark enough, they all changed into Earth clothes, but Alexis refused to wear a t-shirt unless Emily answered a riddle correctly. She got it wrong, but Joel managed to convince Alexis to put on the t-shirt. When they arrived at Earl's house, Alexis sensed two people in the house, and immediately pounced on Tom, formerly known as Agent T, and prepared to kill him. Joel told her not to kill him, and helped him to his feet, only just realising that it was Tom. After explaining to Tom and Earl why they were there, they all sat down. Alexis told Tom that the Olympians had visited Earth several times, as they found humans interesting.

Later, Alexis put on the Helmet of Invisibility, and went to guard the outside of the house, while Tom guarded the inside. The two of them then discussed their plans and how, if anyone came in their way, they were prepared to kill.

When they were all ready to leave to find Tornado Warning, Alexis offered to carry Tom on her back. They landed at a motel and used the Helmet of Invisibility to sneak everyone into the room without having to book for seven people. When Emily had doubts about Tom being on their side, Alexis assured her that he was.

When Joel asked Alexis for the Helmet of Invisibility, so that he could go with Paelen and steal some money, Emily got angry and accidentally used her new Xan powers to explode a lamp. When Joel and Paelen we gone, Emily went in the bath, and Alexis confronted her about her powers. She comforted her and gave her advice on how to control her temper. When Emily came out of the bathroom, Alexis was watching an Elvis Presley movie with Chrysaor, and wanted to find him, not knowing that Elvis was dead.

The group landed at the Double R Ranch, and once Pegasus and Tornado Warning had stopped fighting, Alexis slashed Rip Russell's leg with her claws to get him to tell them where he got Tornado Warning from. Once they had the information that they needed, they tried to convince the ranch workers to stay quiet and not tell anyone what happened, but Rip Russell and some of his workers didn't listen and grabbed Emily, causing Alexis to attack them. She showed her eating teeth, and killed everyone who tried to hurt Emily.

The group went to Las Vegas, and Alexis was extremely curious at all of the shops and casinos around them. When Tom went to the supermarket, Alexis went with him, and had fun seeing everything there was to see. She accidentally knocked over a display case with her tail while invisible, and she and Tom laughed about it afterwards.

After the supermarket, they went to a restaurant, and Alexis soon became suspicious of the waitress who was serving them. When she was gone, Alexis followed her, and heard her talking about them.

When everyone was asleep in the trailer, Tom went to Alexis and told her that they'd be killed if they went into Area 51, and that he was afraid for everyone. He asked her to take him to Area 51 so that he could reason with them, and tell them what would happen if they didn't stop. They went to Area 51, but the CRU knew that they were coming, and had them surrounded, so Tom told Alexis to get everyone away, but before she could flee, a Nirad clone guard attacked her and nearly killed her, and so she flew through the door, and saw even more clones that they had made. She barely managed to escape, and got back to the trailer, where Emily healed her.

Soon after Alexis was healed, the CRU surrounded them, and captured Earl and Tornado Warning. Emily told Paelen and Chrysaor to fly away, as Joel had been shot, while Emily, Pegasus and Alexis led the helicopters away from them, and eventually made their way back to the Black Tower as that was their rendezvous point.

While at the Black Tower, Alexis told Emily what happened with Tom, and what she saw at Area 51. When she told Emily about the Nirad clones, she got the idea of going to the Nirad World and bringing Prince Toban to Earth to communicate with the clones. Emily wanted Alexis to stay behind in case Joel, Paelen and Chrysaor came back, but Alexis refused to leave her unless she answered a riddle correctly. Emily answered wrong, so they all went to the Nirad World.

When they emerged from the Solar Stream, several Nirads spotted them and alerted everyone else telepathically that they were there. Alexis was greeted by Queen Segan, who gave her a warm welcome, and had some Nirads prepare a banquet in their honour. Emily didn't want to attend the banquet, but Alexis insisted. Near the end of the feast, Alexis slipped away to ask for Prince Toban's help as she heard that he was leaving for Olympus. Toban agreed to come, but he insisted that he take an orange Nirad called Tirk with him as his bodyguard. Alexis decided that it would be best to go in the morning.

The four of them emerged from the Solar Stream in the middle of the day, and found that Pegasus was struggling to carry Tirk, so they had to land next to a lake. When the sun had set fully, Emily, Pegasus and Alexis had to leave Toban and Tirk to go find Joel, Paelen and Chrysaor and bring them back, as Pegasus couldn't carry Tirk any further. So, they flew to the Black Building and found that it was on fire, and a boy named Frankiewho had been with Joel, Paelen and Chrysaor came out of a shed and warned them that it was a trap by the CRU. Alexis told Pegasus to get Emily away, so he grabbed Frankie with his teeth and flew away as Alexis engaged the soliders. Shortly after, she managed to get away, and joined Emily, Pegasus and Frankie on the roof of a casino, where Frankie explained that explained that his friend John saw Paelen fall out of a window, and that John was killed by the CRU, while trying to protect Frankie. Alexis then convinced Emily to go back to Prince Toban and Tirk instead of trying to find Joel. Frankie wanted to come as well, but Alexis said that he could only come if he answered a riddle correctly. She gave him an easy riddle that he managed to guess correctly.

Emily, Pegasus, Alexis and Frankie flew back to where Toban and Tirk were, but found fire and crashed helicopters. When they went to the last place they had seen them, they found human blood. When Emily realized out that they had led Toban and Tirk into a trap, her anger started rising, and she called war with the CRU, while Alexis tried to calm her down. Emily, Pegasus and Alexis flew to Area 51, and she started attacking the helicopters when they fired at them. Alexis followed her with Frankie on her back, and warned her to be careful. Emily and Alexis tried to warn the soldiers that Jupiter would destroy Earth if they didn't stop. The soliders panicked and fired, and Emily was knocked back, and accidentally used her powers to send Pegasus, Alexis and Frankie to Xanadu, although she thought that she had killed them as they just disappeared.

While on Xanadu, Alexis, Frankie and Pegasus found everything and everyone else that Emily had transported there. They promised the soldiers there that they'd take them back sometime. The three of them entered the Solar Stream and travelled in it until they reached Earth, just as Emily was preparing to fight Jupiter for the fate of the world. They all reunited outside of Area 51, and Jupiter decided not to destroy Earth.

When Emily was taking Jupiter and Neptune to see inside Area 51, she asked Alexis to come as well. When the clones were all freed, she took them to Tom who was paralysed, and needed machines to stay alive. Alexis begged Jupiter to heal him, but he told her that he couldn't, as he was too far gone. Alexis then asked him to restore him as something other than a human. Jupiter asked Tom what he wanted to be, and he said a willow tree. Jupiter turned him into a willow tree and transported him to Alexis' home on Olympus where she raced off to.

## Pegasus and the Origins of Olympus

When Emily found out that she was a Xan, she went to talk to Tom, hoping that he could help. Alexis was with him, and didn't want to leave him. She explained what the Xan were to Tom, and helped comfort Emily.

When the Titan Weapon was uncovered on Earth, and the Olympians started rapidly aging, Emily sent Cupid to try to convince Alexis to go to Xanadu, where they hoped the effects would be less. Alexis refused to leave Tom, however, and presumably died in that timeline.

## Pegasus and the Rise of the Titans

Juno commanded Alexis to return to the palace, as she felt that Alexis had been ignoring her duties. Alexis didn't want to, because it would mean moving away from Tom, but she had to listen to Juno's commands. However, Riza told Alexis that there was a way, and together, she and Emily turned Tom into a Sphinx at his wish. Tom flew into Jupiter's maze, and surprised Alexis, accidentally waking up everyone in the palace with her shrieks.

The following morning, Alexis and Tom went to Emily's apartment and thanked her for turning Tom into a Sphinx, and told her that they were going to have a union ceremony, which is the Olympian version of a wedding. Alexis then left with Tom to teach him how to fly.

## Pegasus and the End of Olympus

When Emily found out that the CRU had captured Stella Giannakou, Agent B, Earl and Frankie, she and Pegasus went back to the cave where they lived along with Alexis and Tom. They accidentally woke Alexis and Tom, however, and told them everything. Tom explained to Alexis how time travel worked, and the two helped Emily and Pegasus prepare for their trip to Earth.
