"Faerie? Are you going somewhere?"

Faerie turned to Steve who stood in the doorway with his eyebrows raised. She was dressed in a cerulean stola and her hair was pinned up neatly. It was a great contrast from the t-shirts and sweats she had been wearing for her few days in the Overworld.

"Um, yes. I'm going to visit some family," she said matter-of-factly. She rubbed at her chin, frowning at the stray lipstick that had made its way there somehow.

"In the Underworld?" Steve wasn't having trouble with the fact that she was a Greek goddess, per se, he just found it mildly absurd yet not at all surprising that both Norse and Greek gods existed. They were only myths to him (and the world, really) until several years ago.

"No. A little closer to here than home." Faerie winked at him before turned to her reflection in the mirror again, not having anything else to say.

Steve quirked a brow again but nodded and left the room. Faerie returned to the bathroom and took the shells from the box on the counter carefully, placing them around her neck, careful not to disrupt her neat hair. 

A new voice pulled her from the bathroom again as she put on her pearl earrings. She stuck her head out before walking out fully. Wanda smiled nervously in the goddess' presence but calmed down when Faerie smiled at her kindly.

"Yes, Wanda?"

"I was wondering if, since our powers are similar, you wouldn't mind helping me. I would like to control my powers a bit more," the younger girl asked shyly. She had been considering this for a while, and despite not being one to ask for help, Wanda really did want to learn to control herself more.

"We don't control our powers, πολυαγαπημένος." Faerie stepped forward, still pinning in her earrings. "We only learn to live in harmony with them. Find a compromise." 

Wanda blinked at the unknown word, and Faerie smiled softly before stepping back and black mist started to swirl about her, and Wanda recognized it from the Hangar, and she immediately knew what it meant.

"You have not answered my question!" Her voice was barely heard over the loud whirling in the room, but Faerie's belongings strangely stayed in place while Wanda's hair whirled madly.

"Of course, Αγαπητέ μου," Faerie responded, quiet voice still clear despite the loud noise that had disrupted Wanda's own words just before. She waved before closing her eyes, a look of deep concentration passing over her face.

And she was gone.

Meanwhile, in the ocean, trouble had arisen.

A swirling madness formed in the waters above the castle and the guards rushed to the King and Queen, eager to protect them from any possible harm. Poseidon pulled Amphitrite to him tightly, his trident in the other hand as they waited for the tornado to diminish.

"απατεώνα! Show yourself!"

Soon the tornado was gone, revealing a girl. Poseidon sighed, releasing his grip on the trident and loosening his hold on Amphitrite. He stepped forward, waiting for the girl to turn.
