"Aphrodite. Let my children go." Persephone snarled, creating a sword from nothing but thin air.
"You see, it's called bargaining. If you stop fighting me and succumb to my power then I'll let them go. If not then we'll have a problem, won't we." She said, menacingly.
"Mom... don't do it." Ethan whispered from the lack of air caused by the rope.
"Quiet." Aphrodite snapped to the blond twin as she made her sword fly up into the air and stab him right through the stomach.
When Ethan's almost lifeless body dropped to the ground, blood staining the marble floors at a fast rate, Anthony took fast action. "Friday. Deploy Tony Jr."
At that command, a small number of nanobots left Anthony's suit and wrapped around Ethan, creating a new Iron-Man (or boy) suit. The suit took off away from Olympus. "Get Banner on the line."
"Yes, Boss."

Back down on the ground level the Avengers were cleaning up the little damage and talking with the mortals and Norse about what had occurred. Natasha came running out of the Tower and yelled to Bruce, "Banner, Anthony is on Comm line 1."
Dr. Banner immediately stopped his conversation with Steve and Ace to switch his comms channel. "Tony, what's going on up there?"
"No time! I'm sending down Ethan in a spare suit. He's bleeding out fast, I think Dite stabbed an artery. Save my son, Banner." Anthony responded sounding frantic.
Banner looked up and saw a smaller sized suit flying towards the landing pad of the tower. He and Steve, who had heard the conversation, started running towards the doors of Avengers Tower and up to the landing pad.
Steve lifted the blonde and started running for the med-bay. The soldier placed him on a bed next to Estelle, who was barely conscious. "What happened?!" The blessed mortal asked, trying to sit up, against Paul and Sally's wishes.
"Dove stabbed him. Tony sent him in a spare suit." Banner said, slipping his fingers into blue latex gloves.
"Bruce, what can I do to help?" Steve asked the doctor.
"Get his armor off and start packing the wound, then we pray to anything that will listen that he survives."

"APHRODITE!" Persephone lunged at the goddess as she dropped Zoë and Phoenix, who weren't as injured as Ethan.
Loki and Anthony both grabbed the two girls and pulled them into hugs as they ran from the fight between Percy and Aphrodite.
Hecate created a magical barrier between them and the Gods. Once the four of them were behind it, Poseidon wrapped the two girls in a hug as well, they were his grandchildren after all.
Percy and Aphrodite were both fast as lightning when it came to their fighting movements. Percy went to try a decapitate Dite, though she blocked with her own sword.
Aphrodite jumped over Percy and tried to get her from behind though Percy flew into the air and landed on Aphrodite's shoulders. Using a move that Natasha had taught her to force Dite to her knees.
She got off of the goddess of love and kicked her between the shoulder blades, She created a chain and tied Aphrodite down to the marble floor. "There's only one way to kill her."
"Starfish... no, you can't."
