Beautiful but dangerous.

As lightening dances through the Kingdom of books, I stare open mouthed from his declaration.

Hades' brother?

Coming to my senses, I decided to continue the ninja running episode, but I couldn't not before I could point out.

"The lightning is not helping,"

"Oh sorry."

He sounded sincere as he apologised and the sudden change in his attitude made me curious, persuading me to listen.

"So you are Zeus?"

"I mean Lord Zeus." I corrected quickly not wanting to test his temper. And tried to do a courtesy by bowing to look respectful.

Waving his hand he smiled in amusement. "It's cool. You can call me Zeus."

I nodded, still in the same position.

"Look, you don't have to do that too." He said indicating me to straighten up.

"I can't."

This confused him making him ask."What?"

I laughed without humour. "Its like this, you see I stretched the leg at the back way too far. So if I were to move even an inch, I will fall."

Taking note of the position of my legs realization flashed through his features.

"So can you help me?" I asked with hesitation.

"Yep." He thankfully helped me get up.

"Thanks."

He chuckled saying. "No problem, I don't want your pretty face messed up."

My brows knitted up at his words and furrowed further when he tugged at my hand which he refused to let go.

"Hey, you are pretty soft." And before I could say a word, I was pulled into a hug getting squeezed in between his arms like a teddy bear.

When the moment of shock passed, I pushed him back with all my strength put behind my arms.

"Don't glare it's rude." He pinched my nose evidently trying hard to keep on a straight face as I ran back a couples of steps.

"What's going on up there?" he inquired, tapping my head covering up the distance in God's speed.

I stuck my tongue out to him and he smiled least offended, and like his brother's, it was wort a free Disney land ticket.

Keeping in mind that he was still a powerful stranger, I once again put feets between us.

Seven feet seems good. I gave myself an approving node.

But in stupidity, I made the mistake of looking up at him and I was unable to break out of the trance those bright blue eyes put me in.

Taking in my amazement , he asked."What are you doing?"

"Theres lightning in your eyes." I replied automatically.

He chuckled at the reply." And are they distracting?"

"Yeah, they are beautiful," I admitted absentmindedly to which he raised an eyebrow with a cocky smile tugging at his lips.

"Oh. No no no. Yes.....wait. Yes, they are beautiful and no I am not trying to...you know.......Oh God." I shuttered clenching and unclenching my fists.

And I knew that there waa nothing that I could say that would change his perception of my compliment with that arrogance of his sweeping through his smirk.

Curse you, pretty boys.

He chuckled noting. "You are as innocent as I heard you to be."

"Who told you that?" I demanded.

"So you just skipped the innocent part?" He asked and even when I glared he gave nothing away.

"No one told me." With that being said he took hold of a strand of my hair catching me off guard and proceeded to twist it around between his fingers.

"What shampoo do you use? Its a nice smell coming off of you." And before he could tempt me into punching him , I jumped back and did not humour him by answering.

But I could not let him win by changing the subject, so I intensified my glare imagining them to be dagges that were slicing away at his beautiful face.

Intensifying my glare, I refused to give up without an answer.

Just as I prayed for it to work his eyes slowly wandered away, looking anywhere, but eye to eye.

"Word goes around." He finally said and seeing my dissatisfaction he elaborated.

"It's not a big secret that the Underworld has its first and only doctor. You see the Underworld and its ruler has never been warm and cozy with outsiderss, so it caused quite a ruckus back in Olympus."

A bit overwhelmed, I felt shivers run down my spine. "Oh...... so...mhmm God's are going to drop by to say hai?"

Seeing me worry he was quick to correct. "No, you don't know how well your identity has been kept in wraps. Those idiots back there don't even know you are a mortal. If it weren't for me being the most powerful, I wouldn't have known you either."

"You don't need to worry, you are in good hands."

Lost in thought, I did not realise when he had wrapped his hands around me with his tall frame towering me.

I sighed, prying away his steely grip and then as I met with hose blue eyes I came to realization.

"YOU ARE WILL'S DAD!!" I screamed in disbelief and dramatically placed my hand over my hurt in pity.

He ran his fingers through those golden locks looking smug. "I sure am."

I was forced to stare at him taking note of the simple details I nearly missed under the lightening show.

He nearly stepped back when I pointed at his jaw. " I knew I had seen you somewhere sharp-jaw." He nodded but as if in acknowledgement of my oddity.

Letting his eyes linger in confusion, I asked in curiosity. "Are you older than Hades?"

He shook his head, but I did not miss tge slight flinch upon hearing Hades' name. "Nope, he's older by a Godly year."

And then an unsettling silence fell upon which I broke few seconds later in farewell.

"Okay then. I will see you around I guess." With a short wave, I turned to leave.

"Wait, can I ask you for a favor?" he asked just as I reached the door. A look of internal conflict passed over his face.

"How can I ever do you a favor?" I mean he's a God and if its hugs, I am going to sucker punch him.

" No, I am not going to hug you."

I relaxed from my battle stance. Seeing the change in my demeanor he smiled but it soon fell apart.

"If you weren't the only one who could help me, I wouldn't have bothered you, but you are. Please." He pleaded, a steep fall from his arrogant facade.

Slightly taken aback from the request, I stood in thought for a few moments finally reaching the conclusion that am hungry and would love to go home.

"You have to teach your brother how to say please." I mumbled.

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing. My house ain' far from here how about we talk over coffee." I offered since he was polite enough to ask and not order like her dear brother.

"You are inviting me home?" He smirked in a sickening manner and I was obliged to tell him off blankly.

"It's time for my "coffee". So it's the coffee that I am interested in."

"Ohh, I get it. You love coffee and want me to join you." I rolled my eyes while he wiggled his eyebrows.

Walking out of the Kingdom of books, we made it across street, and the enchanted readers as if on que strode in a well kept line.

"I am Elizabeth Rain Airlea." His eyes glimmered, and I knew that he already had access to the information.

"And I am Zeus, the SUPREME LEADER OF THE OLYMPIANS." Not finding the expected response he continued with a frown.

"Just Zeus and I like to leave out my last name because we kinda killed our father." He shrugged.

"Yeah." What a casual thing to say. "Happens all the time."He burst out laughing seeing through my poker face.

The series of events that followed his harmonious laugh was a startling scene that left my mouth hang open dried.

Church bells rang and trumpets played from the clouds, men and women alike swooned in his beauty, children marvelled at his laugh and all the once the day was brighter and I stood scowling like a insect deprived frog.

When the episode was finally over I began to think. What would have they done if they saw the King of the underworld laugh.

"Whatchu thinking," he asked in a sing-song manner, slyly snaking his arms around me.

And on an other thought.

Will I survive if I sucker punch a God?
