New Gods [dc comics]

Chapter 6: High

"Alessandra does not need to be put through that! She's already at her peak if-"

"Silence!" Zeus stood from his throne the air around him screamed authority as his eyes scanned the room. "Hades and I have already discussed what is to come. There is no other way, she must have no earthly bonds, they will only be a distraction."

"And what happens when she discovers you have planned this?! What about the men helping her, have you not thought about them? Will you kill them off too?!" Hecate shook with fury, she cared for the girl, she really did, the thought of putting the young goddess through pain made her whole being ache.

Ares stepped next to Hecate, eyes boring into Hades'," She is right. We've grown weak, there's no way any of us could take her on. Not even Aleixo or Ercole could stand a chance against her. I hold no feelings for Alessandra, but I agree with Hecate. This is wrong she does not have to suffer."

"Enough! She is my daughter. This must happen, and if in the end, Alessandra chooses to go against us then so be it. She was destined to rule either way."

The air around the deities grew warm with bitterness, Artemis stood and left, her fists clenched while her steps echoed. The other gods followed all baffled with Hade's decision, Hecate spared one last glare his way before following behind Athena. Poseidon moved to stand in front of his brother's, fingers mindlessly twirling his trident.

"I know you do not wish to hear my disapproval-" pausing as he hears his brother scoff "- But I do agree with Hecate. All this emotional pain may cause her to become corrupt. What if she succumbs to Zaroch? That'll be not only the end of us, it'll be the destruction of the universe."

Hades was tired. He missed his wife, he hated doing this to his daughter, plus being around all the other gods made him want to crawl back down to the underworld and stay there for the rest of eternity. But, this must happen, no matter how much it hurts, his daughter must grow strong. Giving one last glance at the sleeping beauty being projected, he bid his brothers goodbye and made his way back to his dark palace.

I don't think I've ever felt so confused in my life, it was like... As soon as I passed over here the only feelings I had were confusion, pain (if that counts), and (I hate to admit) weird sprouts of horniness. My hormones are all over the place and it doesn't help with the fact that both Tim and Dick are huddling so close to me the only scents I smell are their overpowering cologne. I'm not complaining though, just... Fuck. Not only that but my personality is slowly changing which is making me into some rude bitch. Sure I cussed at my stepmom but I would never tell some kid to fuck off, to make it even worse I almost snapped at him again. I already know he probably dreams of slitting my throat, which makes me double-check my lock before I sleep.
