Zeus Vs the Mental Ward

The men came and got Zeus soon after the meeting with the lady, and they forced him into a different car than the one he had originally arrived in. 

This car, however, was white and was much larger. His hands were still cuffed, but they forced him to wear the oddest of clothing. It reminded Zeus of a tunic that most ancient Romans wore underneath their togas, but the only way it was staying on Zeus' body was with the use of strings on the back of the tunic. He was just sad that it was a male who put him in it. He would have liked to see that female again, she was rather tight. 

Zeus was sitting in the back of the car for only about fifteen minutes when he was forced out and marched down a small pathway to a very large building. During the short walk, Zeus was able to look around, and he was trying to examine the city around him. 

"So when am I going to get to go back to the normal world? I have plans," Zeus complained, as he was pushed through the doors. 

"You're not going anywhere anytime soon, sir," one of the men leading him through this huge hallway said. They all stopped in front of a branch of the hallway where they met a man in a white lab coat. This man shook their hands and motioned them to follow him back into a room where there were a lot of buttons and machinery that Zeus had never had imagined could exist. 

Then he was suddenly being shoved into the middle of all these machines and on a bed of some sort. He began hooking Zeus up to all of these machines. Some were connected to him through sticky pads and some were attached to needles which made Zeus yelp at the new feeling of pain. 

The entire experience was scarring for Zeus since he lacked any basic knowledge to try and figure out what they were trying to do with him. All he knew was that since he had no ID or anything other than a cheap, outdated phone on his person, they had no idea who he was or what he was doing here.

Unbenoungest to any of the members of the police department, someone had snapped a picture of Zeus being cuffed, heading into the hospital ward. This person posted it and it went as viral as the video of Zeus getting into a fight back at the Woman's March in Washington D.C.

And one of the viewers of this post was a certain celebrity who wanted to "help" out her followers and fans, and after the last guy (who gave her lots of publicity), she figured why can't she just do another; Kim Kardashian was not known for her brains after all. So when Kim figured out that Zeus was a large fan of hers, she sent a text to the governor of Tennessee in hopes he would be as lenient as he was during the last intercession. . . or whatever you call what she did for that dude a few weeks back. No one ever said no to Kim Kardashian.

Zeus would have been ecstatic if he only knew that the newly found love of his life and hero was going to try and help him break out of this prison. If only he knew. But he did not know, and he would continue not to know until a few days later when he was released from the hospital and from his imprisonment. 

When he found out who was the cause of his release, he went crazy, immediately trying to book himself a one-way flight to LA so he could get to Hollywood as soon as possible. He was able to sign up for a credit card (not that Zeus knew what a credit card was, he thought it was just free money) and bought the ticket (he had run out of the $2,000 that was given to him by whoever sent him here). 

He was ready for his true destiny to begin.

Mount Olympus was prosperous. Even though it had only been a few days without Zeus and Hera, the other gods and goddesses were able to solve the most mundane issues that the world now presented them. Hades ended poverty, Demeter ended hunger (mainly because she was happy twenty-four-seven because her daughter was back at Mt. Olympus with her husband whom Demeter was growing slightly more fond of), Athena ended ignorance (how even?) and war (I mean warlike strategies, its not like she's the goddess of war or anything), and everything was going amazingly.

Every few days, the main powers would show up at the main castle on Mt. Olympus and watch Hera and Zeus try to survive in the world, with new things being revealed for each of them (and since both stories are running at different speeds), it was quite hilarious when gods just decided to go and take a peak down there in hopes of finding some more juicy tidbits that would cause them to extract more money from the others. So far more than $500 had been bet on the two ex-Olympians, and so far most of the bets had come true.

Persephone eventually forgave her husband, but Hades currently had to walk all of his dogs, make dinner and do the dishes (to his complaints: "Isn't that what our servants are for?"), and basically wait on Persephone's every whim. Boy, was he having a blast. 

Hecate was still her normal hermit-like self, but now she had a friend too. Persephone stopped by a few days after their initial talk and had brought a bouquet of flowers (she said it would liven up the house a little bit). Every day since then, she had stopped by, and they would talk to each other, sometimes only for a few minutes, sometimes their talks lasted until the sun was low under the horizon line. 

Everything seemed to be working out.

What a nice little break from the normal chaos, am I right?

Well, the question is, do these things ever stay like that?
