Let's Play Twenty Questions

“Amora we’re not from your future we’re from a future from a different Asgard. In our time there was no Aldrif or killer robots that destroyed the earth. And what I was trying to keep Melina from saying is you only know what Sif wants you to know about her.” She wasn’t going to say anything more about it. If Amora wanted to know she’d have to ask Sif about it.

“No one really cared I was the troublemaker they were probably thrilled I’d be gone for a long time. Only they didn’t realize I was such a fast learner and wouldn’t be gone nearly as long as they thought I would be.” Kaileena looked at Amora with a raised eyebrow “Not in the way you're thinking. But I would like her to come to Olympus with me, I need her help with something.”

“I shouldn’t have told you any of this it doesn’t have anything to do with you. I’m just an annoying headache you should just forget about and go back to your life.” Kaileena said before opening a portal on the ground in front of her then jumped into it. She decided to talk to Sif later it wouldn’t be hard to find the woman but right now she just wanted to be away from everyone and the only place to do that was in the Underworld.

“I think we’re going to have to get used to being sexy all the time. As weird as that sounds…” that was a rather strange thought that everyone was going to want her no matter what. The only one she wanted was the redhead in front of her. Bobbi pulled back a little bit to give Natasha a look “What kind of training could we even do? This isn’t laser beams and energy blasts.” She really didn’t know what kind of training she could do.

Yes, the look on Aldrif’s face was definitely a pissed off hostile one. Frankly, Circe thought she could have smoothed things over with the woman, but that was before the whole tidal wave. Glancing back at the portal to Olympus, she made sure the water had dissipated and everything was clean and dry before opening the way for all the gods. With one swift gesture, Circe gathered all the remaining orbs of power into a protected box, transporting it to Olympus’ treasury. That actually made the goddess stop for a moment. She was unaware that Olympus had such a place. But then again, there were other things she had no knowledge of before gaining her new abilities.

Bowing low before Aldrif, Circe thanked her gracious host. “We shall take our leave, All-Mother. Please accept this token as a humble thank you for your hospitality.” Whatever damage the tidal wave have done to the throne room and people in it was now repaired. Carpeting and drapes were dry and pristine, furniture replaced and unbroken, and the traces of salt removed so as not to decay or tarnish the decorations. Circe also made sure the damage Kaileena had wrought, both here and in the prison was undone. She then turned to her would-be daughter.

And watched her disappear into a hole in the ground.

“Gods damn that girl," she muttered under her breath. Sighing, Circe worked a spell so that both Kaileena and Aldrif could hear her. "Kaileena, you will not rob the All-mother of her palace guard. They died serving you, not Aldrif. You need to work out an agreement of compensation and settle on what is fair. The same goes for your bodyguard, where ever he is,” Circe stated, indicating Kurse, who was absent. She did not trust the creature, but he seemed wholly devoted to the girl. If she was allowed to keep her pet, then that was her business, but Circe didn’t want to have anymore wrinkles develop between Olympus and Asgard.

Bowing once more, the goddess began ushering everyone through the portal. As Natasha and Bobbi passed, she lightly touched the redhead’s shoulder. “Be careful. If you’re going to be testing the capabilities of your bed, be sure to tire your girlfriend out. Push her to the limits so that she will learn what they are and so she will not feel the need to wander and look for greener pastures, so to speak. Aphrodite, though vain and self-centered, was powerful. She started the Trojan War, after all.”

She did not comment on sitting on a bloody throne. Yes, some may like it, but she was not among those people. Circe didn't want to be haunted by any more ghosts than she already had. As for Zarda’s question, yes, Zeus’ powers made things easier. Though she waited until everyone was out of Asgard before she answered her fully. “It’s not a question of ability, darling. It’s about being drunk with power. I can rearrange Olympus as I see fit. Hell, once I mentioned everyone’s belongings being here, it was so. I did it without thinking. I’m sure it was similar with you and the water. You wanted everyone to stop what they were doing, so you tapped your power and, boom, instant pool. The same goes for Natasha and Bobbi, only theirs was more subtle,” she explained. “I’ve had similar power levels before with Hecate. I wanted to remake the entire world in my image and no one could stop me. I became so…” she paused and shivered in delight, remembering the sensation of the goddess coursing through her. Maybe she should take Hecate’s power once again. Maybe. Circe then blinked, bringing herself back to the present. “I died because of that power. I was blind to the small things and by the time the heroes attacked I was alone and surrounded. Then I crumbled to nothing. So you can see that I’m a bit hesitant. But yes, I can make Aeaea come here.”

Olympus was beautiful, with clouds interspersed with the landscaping and Greco-styled buildings carved from multi-colored marble and wrought in gold and silver. Water was here in abundance, with fountains, pools, and waterfalls pouring from the clouds. Everything shone with a divine light. Each god had their own palace, set to their own likes, and even though Circe had known how the homes were originally situated, they had now moved to please their new owners. After all, Dionysus would never have had his place that close to Aphrodite’s. Each home would have attendants; nymphs, minor gods, and spirits dedicated in service to that particular god. Paths of gold wound lazily to the central square, gymnasium, and acropolis where they would hold council. The highest path leading away should have gone to Zeus’ palace. Instead, there was a low rumble like distant thunder and, when the clouds parted, Aeaea stood at the end of the path, alongside Poseidon’s former abode. Almost immediately, Lyta took off running for it, her tiger cub close at her heels. “Did I mention that you also have an undersea home, Zarda?” Circe smirked. “I’m thinking of letting Lyta have Persephone’s power. She seems appropriate for the goddess of springtime.”

“You do anything to Zabu and you’ll be replacing him as my feline friend.” Sheena told Midori just as a fair warning not to try and do anything to him “He’s never had cattle before he’s only ever ate dinosaur meat. So he has no idea what you're talking about.” Even while here he had only dinosaur meat only because they had been chased to Asgard and killed there.

“A chastity belt?” Bobbi pouted at the idea of having to wear such a thing. It sounded Medieval and uncomfortable not an idea she liked. “We aren’t telepaths how would we do that? I think the AA meetings would be for you goddess of wine.” she said just before hearing Circe talking to Natasha giving her pointers or tips about what to do in the bedroom. Even though it was a little funny Circe had a point she knew the stories of Aphrodite and Ares as well as Aphrodite and everybody else. The woman had wandering eyes and that was the one downside to these powers trying to stay faithful because she really didn’t want to end up becoming a walking mattress.

“Don’t hold your breath on anything from my world happening here.” Kaileena had more than her fill of Amora’s to last her a lifetime she didn’t want a repeat of it nor did she want herself of this world to ever have to deal with such a thing should she be born in this time. “I know I could smell it why do you think I want her to come to Olympus? It’s not to hang out and have a good time.” Even though she wouldn’t say what she was going to do with the other woman it wasn’t going to lead to a party or anything like that. It was work related and nothing more.

Kaileena ignored Circe for the time being she knew Aldrif wasn’t short on guards and can easily replace them. She had other things on her mind to deal with then playing nice right now. Kurse was gathering things up for Kaileena while she went searching through the newly arrived souls for the one she wanted. If Aldrif really wanted payment for her guards she knew where to find her if not she wasn’t going to bother.

Lightning crackled a bit as Amora tightened her grip on Mjolnir. She wanted to correct the girl simply because of her attitude. She wanted to say how not everything revolved around her and that sometimes, not often, but sometimes, timelines that split off from one another may merge once more and have the same ending. But, knowing it would likely result in more arguments, Amora picked a different answer. "Yes, you should be happy here. After all, you have both parents and need not worry about being hunted."

Upon the girl giving her answer regarding Sif however, Amora could stand it no longer. "How should I know your plans? I am not arrogant or foolish enough to read your mind. I offer you advice and you throw back in my face. Why anyone, let alone myself, would want a spoiled child such as you for a lover I do not know. You are young and know nothing while thinking you know everything, Kaileena, child of Circe and Zarda. You have also overstayed your welcome. I think it best you leave." With that, Amora would have no more with the visitors.

Once they had left, she surveyed the room before kneeling in front of Aldrif. "I am yours to command, All-Mother. Tell me what needs to be done and it shall be. I want to thank you for such a gift and such an opportunity." It was more chance and luck that relied solely upon the hammer, but Aldrif had been the one to offer. Had she not, Amora doubted she ever would have taken the risk to see if she was worthy of being Thor.

Kaileena narrowed her eyes before she used her super speed to tackled Amora to the ground pinning her there. “Let’s get a few things straight. First of all they are not my parent’s yes by blood they would be but they didn’t give birth to me nor raised me. Second do you have any idea how hard it is coming from a number of races where sex is a major part of their lives or fighting and seeing as I’m not doing either it’s really fucking frustrating. So excuse me if I’m not little Mrs. Sunshine and kissing your ass.”

“And if I told anyone what I was doing they’d try and stop me. That’s not something I can do Death put the need to make this thing inside me. I have to do it there’s no way around it.” Kaileena looked down at Amora before speaking loud enough only she could hear it. “The mind blowing addictive sex, the fifteenth foot tall platinum blonde Jotun is the sexist thing I’ve ever seen. Or the fact that I never once judged on the things you could or couldn’t do. There was no need to pretend or impress me I took you as you were and I didn’t care that you weren't perfect. In my eyes you were.” She got up and left Amora where she was the woman didn't want to be around her anymore.

Once everyone was gone Aldrif sat down hard on the throne taking off her headdress throwing it across the room. Gods it was like dealing with a zoo or a group of annoying horny teenagers. She thought as she rubbed her forehead trying to get rid of the headache she had gotten from everything that had just happened. She had closed her eyes briefly before she had to open them again when the room suddenly filled with a blinding white light. The light died down enough for her to see what created it. It appeared to be some type of alien angel a being who looked like it was searching for something or someone. Before she could question the thing it passed through the portal to Olympus.
