“If they find hosts we’ll be seeing them sooner or later that stuff isn’t easy to hide. And they’ll most likely be causing trouble.” Dani said “It won't be easy but we can get them work together unless happens to cause them to attack one another.” They were useful when it was needed but things could turn ugly fast.
Kai ripped the tentacle off from around her neck “I don’t run!” She got to her feet summoned her daggers and attacked the tentacles as well. Each time she hit the thing she got angrier and angrier until she pushed herself into the Con Dar even though she had been freed from Ares’ curse she could still tap into that extra power. And she wasn’t going to stop until that fucking thing is dead for killing her parent’s.
Zarda not one to sit on the side lines was right in the mix of things she grabbed a hold of one of the tentacles. When she did it sprayed black goo in her face causing her to scream out in pain. Whatever it was it burned a lot and she couldn’t see anything and was knocked away by Aldrif saving her from getting impaled. She hit the ground trying her best to get the stuff off her face. Aldrif kicked a tentacle away from Zarda before teleporting her to Circe as she was of no use right now. They didn’t need to any more deaths by this thing.
The Angelus had Xan’s back and kept them safe from being attacked by anything. Which kept her busy that thing really wanted Xan as much as it wanted his brother’s and sister’s. “If you can teleport out of here to some place safe with her.” She said to him not knowing if he could actually move Nemesis right now or not. A lot less stressful for him to heal her. She summoned a number of her warriors to help drive the thing back and help the other’s.

As Kai fought and dove into the Con Dar, Hippolyta's own battle rage did a rather unexpected thing; she synced with her sister. Not enough to where they fought the same blow for blow, but like they had trained for years together as a team. Yes, they had occasionally sparred with one another, but the apparently intimate knowledge of each other's motions and tactics would have required years of practice. Where one flanked, theater did as well. A distraction here, a devastating blow there. They took and gave ground as needed, but gradually the beast was being pushed back and hacked into. Had everyone not been in a life or death situation, it would have been an exquisitely choreographed ballet of weaponry and tactics to watch.
A screaming Zarda soon appeared in Circe's workshop, shocking both the goddess and her daughter. She had been watching the battle and trying to figure out the creature's origins when her wife appeared in absolute pain. Not needing any instruction, Lyta immediately rushed to the shelves that contained her mother's healing salves and potions, while Circe struggled with the task of cleaning the goo from her wife's face. It was thick and stubborn with how it clung to Zarda's skin, but eventually, using the flat edge of a knife, Circe managed to scrape it all away. Her skin underneath was red and raw, suffering from what looked to burns either from acid or a fire, perhaps both.
Every poison and venom had its cure, and so Circe smeared one of her most powerful balms upon Zarda's skin, one that was reserved for the caustic blood of the hydra and the cursed robes that Medea had once placed on a rival, burning her and melting the golden fabric into her flesh as it was eaten away. The goddess also poured whatever magic she had regained into her wife, wanting her healed as fast as possible. Both goddesses held tightly onto Zarda, trying to soothe and comfort the screaming woman and keep her from struggling.
Xanthius' bit of healing was going better, but only by the slightest of degrees. The blood flow had practically stopped, but Nemesis was still unconscious. As he worked, Xanthius ran through the possible places he could take her that would be safe and protected. There was one place that he knew of, a secret grove he found when he wandered around and explored Olympus on his own world. It belonged to Apollo and, as far as he could tell, no one truly went there. Perhaps he would be lucky and the grove existed in this universe. If so, then it being a place to heal, Nemesis would fair better there. Laying hands on her, they both quickly disappeared from the arena and reappeared in the quiet solitude of the sacred grove.

Unknown to everyone back up was on the way as the sun had just set. A massive green flame hit the thing as a rather large dragon landed near by Logan and Sara jumped off joining in the battle. Oh it didn’t like that fire “Hope hit that thing with more fire!” Sara told her daughter who did as her mother said and unleashed everything she had on it. It was starting to pull back into the rip it had came out of trying to get away finally. Sara joined in with the other’s attacking the thing with the Witchblade.
In the back of Zarda’s mind she knew someone was helping her but the pain and the burning made her forget that. Some how Circe managed to scrap the goo off her face but it didn’t feel all that much better. As Zarda laid there she soon realized something using her fingernail she scratched into the floor in front of Lyta that she couldn’t see at all. Not knowing it was Lyta she had done it in front of.
Dani saw that Xan and Nemesis were gone leaving her free to fully join in the battle. But she would have to be careful in how she used her power. With the sun gone her powers were limited and if she used to much it’d burn her out causing her to die. While the Angelus would leave off to look for a new host who may or may not be in control and even less likely to work with the others here. Could end up being a bad thing. So she used her powers wisely to stay alive for another day. Her wife would kick her ass if she died.

Lyta saw that her father was scratching something into the floor, but upon reading the first few words, she grabbed Zarda's hand and held it tight. "No, Daddy, you're not doing that." Lyta's words brought Circe's eyes up and over to what her wife had written. Inflamed by that, she picked Zarda up and held her close. "Listen to me, you foolish, foolish woman. What the hell do you think you are doing?" she whispered to her hotly, lips pressed against Zarda's ear.
"You. Are. Mine. Get it through your head. I claimed you the moment you entered my bed all those years ago. I am queen here and you are nothing but my consort. You will not die unless I give you leave to do so. Even if you do manage a feat such as that, Kaileena rules the Underworld. I will have her bring your soul back and I will lock it back in your body. I will have Natasha reincarnate you. You are too damn stubborn to die! I will fight every damn deity to bring you back, even my great-grandmother. I will pluck every feather from her wings if it means bringing you back," she growled, divine lightning crackling from her body and arching into Zarda's. "Zeus has domain over order and fate. I therefore order you to live and heal yourself." She then had Lyta retrieve another salve, one that magically protected the wearer against heat and the pain of fire, making her skin feel chilled.
As the calvary was called, another unexpected deity showed up. Having seen the fight between the two titans as he was finishing his rounds, Helios had decided to investigate what exactly was going on in Olympus' arena. The sun having set for the evening, the god appeared atop the arena walls and surveyed the battle.
The creature was nothing normal, something he could easily tell, and it did not belong in the home of the gods. What was more worrying than its intrusion was the simple fact that Helios did not see his daughter or her wife. She had been there earlier, but he now feared for the worse. Yes, Helios had many children, but he loved all of them equally. Worry turned to anger and the god of the sun blazed hot, lighting up the arena and casting an evil eye upon the beast as he sent forth rays of fire, light, and scorching heat. His aim was precise, as he made sure none of the Olympians or other gods were harmed by his magic. If this thing had killed his child, it would die in the most agonizing way possible.

Typhoid noted how everyone seemed to be getting the wounded out of the area. Looking down at Melina, she figured that now would be the best time to move her. Besides, the creature looked like it hated to be burned and, hell, fire was something Typhoid did best. As for where to stash Melina while she healed, there weren't many options. Circe was busy dealing with her own troubles, and she wasn't about to just drop the kid on someone like Zinda or Bobbi in case she woke up in a state of confusion. That really only left Xanthius. Not knowing where the hell he had gone, Typhoid concentrated on that little feeling of discord she still sense from him and followed it all the way to his hiding spot. "I know you're kind of busy right now, but keep an eye on your sister, okay?" she told him before leaving just as quickly as she appeared.
That concern taken off her shoulders, Typhoid took a moment to center herself before mentally stepping aside and letting Bloody take control. The thing about Discord's power was that it apparently came in three different levels. Arguments and marital strife, the strife of war and competition, and something that was known simply as 'the infernal goddess'. Of course the last description could have meant a wide range of descriptions, but not when it was combined with the words 'monster', 'lunatic', or 'blood-soaked headband'. Little Mary had done some reading on the goddess before she had picked her powers. At first she wasn't too pleased with what the woman could do and how she did it, but she soon saw some similarities between her and Eris.
Bloody's takeover wasn't exactly subtle, but neither was it over the top. While Typhoid normally had white paint on the right side of her face, it quickly changed to a half-mask of blood as her swords blazed with fire. She smirked and launched herself at the creature, swiping and stabbing at it, her motions not nearly as flashy as Typhoid's; just simple, precise, and deadly. She also worked quietly, not that anyone would notice in the midst of battle. Any bits that were hacked away from the creature, she lit on fire, wanting to keep the level of heat and pain at a constant and make sure nothing tried to regrow out of the severed limbs.

Of course Lyta grabbed her hand to keep her from finishing what she was trying to write. And then Circe went in on her spill about not wanting her to die and telling her she wasn’t allowed to do so. Annoyed with the whole thing she pulled away from her pushed Circe’s legs out of the way and wrote each letter out on the ground spelling out blind with her fingernail carving it into the floor. Hopefully Circe understood now what she was trying to do any not writing out her will nor was she dying. Yes it hurt a lot and whatever Circe had put on her dulled the pain but that didn’t mean she was dying.
Dani, Sara and Hope joined in on the attack using their fire powers to attack the strange monster driving it back where it had came from. Dani used Helios’ powers to keep herself charged so she could keep pouring it on so it couldn’t get the chance to attack again or change to withstand the fire. It had finally pulled back enough that Angelus moved into the line of fire and pushed the last of it back through and kept it from coming back. “Someone is going to have to close this thing. I can’t hold it back and close it.” She yelled out to the others so someone could close the thing.

Whatever it was that Zarda had originally tried carving into the floor had not looked like English. In fact, due to the messiness of her scratchings, it had appeared to be the beginnings of an ancient death curse, which would not have been the best thing to carve into the floor of a room where magic was used on a regular basis, hence why Lyta had abruptly stopped her from continuing. That, combined with Zarda's pain and screaming, something neither Circe nor Lyta had seen before, had caused the goddesses to jump to conclusions.
When the purple haired goddess laid her eyes upon the proper explanation written, all tension vanished in her body. "You're blind? That's all?" Taking a cloth, she cleaned off her hands and wiped any excess salve from Zarda's eyes, lips, and nose before gently pulling back her wife's eyelids. Her beautiful purple eyes were now clouded over and red from pain, but otherwise they were unharmed. Circe practically chuckled at that, pulling Zarda into a tight embrace, kissing her deeply. "Could you not have said that instead of trying to write it out? Blindness is an easy cure, one my father can handle." Even so, Circe refused to let her wife go, fear and relief both clear in her eyes. "Please don't scare me like that again," she whispered. "I do not want to lose you again."
As the creature was pushed back, Amora had been attempting to close the portal, but the seam had been reluctant to obey, at least up until the point the creature had been forced to its own side of the tear. Now, the thunder goddess whirled Mjolnir over her head, drawing in power and energy to force the opening closed. Using lightning bolts as sutures and a secondary line of defense to keep the creature where it was, the rip between universes gradually shut until there was nothing left of the excitement except for burnt and destroyed wreckage and wounds on almost everyone.
As soon as it was over, Bloody surveyed the scene and, satisfied that she was no longer needed, gave up control and let their personalities reset, leaving Mary behind the wheel. "Oh dear…" Hippolyta, meanwhile, was trying to come off the best high in her life, but very reluctant to do so. She paced back and forth, as if looking for something to take her remaining aggression out, the presence of Eris' power having pushed her further for the need of bloodshed or some sort of violent release. As for Amora, the thunder goddess was staggered. Mjolnir had done things she never thought possible, empowering her while also draining her energy immensely once the battle was over. She shrank back to her normal size as her eyes fell upon Kai. Stumbling, Amora tried to make it over to her, but before she knew it, a wave of darkness fell over her eyes and the goddess collapsed from exhaustion, Mjolnir dropping from her hand.

Zarda frowned at what Circe had said as if it wasn’t some big deal. If she didn’t have her eyes she couldn’t heal herself because she never got the whole healing magic thing down mainly because she knew how to do it another way. “Do you have any idea what this smells like to someone who has senses on the same level of Superman? Awful! I’ve been trying not to puke on everything.” probably not a huge thing to Circe but she didn’t have live with such things every day. Zarda on the other hand had to live with such things all the time. She could adjust her hearing, sight and smell so she wouldn’t get overwhelmed all the time but that only went so far and having something that smelled really bad on your face she couldn’t remove it and get away from it.
When everything was back to normal the Angelus left returning Dani back to normal and exhausted. It was a lot harder to keep things going at night even if she had drawn power from other’s to keep going it was still a lot. She yawned just as Hope dropped down next to her after slipping out of the dragon she had created it had turned to dust blowing away in the wind. Logan took his shirt off giving it to Sara to wear when the Witchblade had left her nearly nude. She slipped it on before anyone could notice. “Their all at home.” Aldrif told Helios knowing that was the only reason he was here. Just after telling him that she noticed Hippolyta was pacing back and forth like a caged animal. She left the titan to move over in front of Hippolyta “If you still crave battle war child then come and show Aldrif what you can do.” Unlike everyone else she could still fight and it was best she tired Hippolyta out then let her rampage about.
Kai caught Amora teleporting them to the Underworld they reappeared half a foot above her bed for a split second before they landed on it. Not what she had wanted to do but her powers were working a little strange for a few seconds until she passed out from over using her powers.

Circe carefully wiped away the rest of the salve, noting that the inflamed areas on Zarda's face seemed to be dwindling. "I'm sorry that the salve smells. None of the ingredients are too terrible, I promise. But, because of your sensitive nose, I'll use a more mundane, though slightly modified, recipe that the Greeks used. Honey, myrrh, and a reduction of wine mixed with jasmine and lupine oils. This will smell better, I swear it." She dabbed a bit on her burns. "It does not look so bad. The wounds will heal and fade. You will still be beautiful and we'll return your eyesight."
Kissing her, Circe helped her wife stand, keeping an arm around her for stability and reassurance. The last thing they needed was for Zarda to blindly go crashing around the place. Lyta, who had been keeping half an eye on the fight through her mother's scrying portal, reported that the monster was gone and the fight was over, plus that Helios was there, and both Sif and Dante seemed to still be asleep. "Oh… that's right. Nearly forgot about them. Come on, let's go back to where all the excitement was. I'll teleport us there." Holding Zarda close, the goddesses soon appeared back in the arena.
"I came back to investigate the massive elementals fighting in the arena. However, not seeing my daughter present, while the rest of you were getting wounded out and fighting that… thing… yes, I worried, and it gave me reason enough to send that abomination back to Tartarus or where ever it came from. But I thank you for the knowledge," Helios replied. He then suddenly appeared next to the still sleeping, and still nude, forms of Sif and Dante. Passing his hand over them, they magically regained their clothing. "At least they won't be embarrassed now when they wake up."
Hippolyta stopped pacing and looked down at Aldrif, as if judging her worth. Even those few moments of stillness was too much for the goddess, since she fidgeted and readjusted the grip on her weapon. Finally she nodded. "We go someplace else to fight. It's better that way. Follow me," she said before vanishing.
A moment later, Circe appeared with a blind Zarda in tow. There wasn't truly much need for an explanation as Helios could see the burns and the salve applied to his king's face. "Trade you?" he asked, indicating the sleeping beauties at his feet. Those words actually made Circe smile and nod, so she left her wife in her father's tender care and dealt with Sif and Dante. Breaking the spell was much more easy than inflicting it, though she decided to do it one at a time, in case something went wrong. She chose to wake Sif up first, seeing as how she was the one who had her power longest.
"And how are we feeling? Any urges to kill a giant ice elemental? Do I need to keep you two separated?" she asked, making sure it was all right to wake Dante up. As the goddess spoke, a second portal slowly opened, revealing the sacred grove where Xanthius was hidden with Nemesis and Melina. He sat cross-legged between the two women, a hand over each of their chests, and was trying his damnedest to heal them both at the same time while getting a gateway established to the arena. "I would love some help here. They're stabilized for the most part, but neither of them have woken up."
Helios considered his grandson for a moment before turning back to the blind Zarda. There was possibilities in the boy, he just had no idea about it. "All right, let's take a look a your injuries, daughter-in-law. I promise no groping while you're blind. It just wouldn't be fair." He examined her briefly, noting the various symptoms of her blindness, before gently placing his fingertips lightly upon her eyelids. Mumbling a hymn to himself, a soft heat and light pulsed between the two for a few moments until he removed his hands. "How are you now, Zarda?"

“Thank you.” Zarda wasn’t sure sure about getting her eyesight back though. Yes she knew Helios was the god of sight but this thing they knew nothing about nor what it was made from. “I saw them. Kai and Mel’s parent’s that thing...whatever it was had killed them.” she told Circe while put on the new blam. “I saw more just before I was blinded there’s nothing left of their world. No home to return to.”
“Leave it to you to forget about the coma twins until Lyta reminds you about them.” Zarda said just before they disappeared heading back to the arena. “That thing wasn’t from Tartarus it’s from another universe. As far as we know. The only other thing we know about it is it had killed your time tossed grandchildren leaving them orphans.” Dani told Helios. “I would rather they be embarrassed then have them pick a fight with each other again.” Sara said she would rather have them be too embarrassed to fight then start up another battle of the elements.
“Very well.” Aldrif said before following after Hippolyta to wherever she saw fit to battle it out or whatever she needed to do to get off her war high.
Sif began to stir she opened her eyes to Circe staring down at her not something she normally saw and kind of found it odd. It took her a moment to get her brain working on what the goddess had asked her. “There is always an urge to kill an ice elemental.” she said before sitting up. “I’ll help him.” Bobbi said when she suddenly appeared. The other gods had know what was going on stayed out of the battle and protect all the children from whatever was going on. She moved through the portal to where Xan and the other two were at and helped him with healing the girls.
Zarda raised an eyebrow “You’d rather grope me when I can see you do it?” She asked finding it a bit odd. There wasn’t much she could do so she let Helios do what he did best “About five percent better.” She wasn’t totally blind now but she still couldn’t tell what Helios was wearing or if anyone else was next to him.

The sharp, stabbing pain of fear was not a welcomed sensation, but it was what Circe felt when Zarda told of what she saw. It wasn't in response to Kai and Mel having no home to go back to, but rather the fact that Zarda had seen their own dead bodies. Putting down the salve container, Circe pulled her wife close, holding her in a tight hug as she tried to push back the thoughts of dying horribly. "Why couldn't you have seen something better?" she whispered. She was the queen of the gods, powerful in every sense of the word, but Circe still had a fear of dying. After Zarda came back from the dead, the goddess would occasionally awaken from dreams about her wife dying once more or being dragged back into the Underworld. Naturally she would lie if her actions ever roused Zarda, but the manner in how Circe would cuddle her tightly afterwards was always a likely give away on how she was feeling. She hated dying. Other people and gods could suffer that fate, but Circe loathed it happening to her family. "We'll keep them here then. We'll give them a home here."
The Queen of Olympus did not enjoy that snarky little jab from Zarda, but at least it brought her out of her mood. "My wife needed me much more than they did. I will always protect you and Lyta first. Everyone else comes second or third." And she was most certainly not about to change that. As for Helios, he was well aware that the thing was not from Tartarus. He knew what things lurked in the realm below and in the void beneath it, and that tentacled monstrosity was not among the creatures. "We will need to make sure that does not happen. And regarding the clothing, Sara, if they really wanted to fight each other, I doubt the lack of clothes would stop them. In fact, if I know how Sif fights, she would likely exploit the extra handle."
"Are we including Amora as an ice elemental or were you simply referring to Dante?" Circe asked Sif, having been well aware of the thunder goddess's bloodline for white some time. She also noted the lack of both her and Kai and could only hope that they were all right in Kai's Underworld palace. "Either way, no more fighting between the two of you. I know that is likely asking a lot, but we will make sure you are trained and able to control your powers when in close proximity to one another." Circe knew Sif had had the Ember Stone for a while, but things had changed now that there were two super powered elementals in existence.
Upon seeing Bobbi and what she was wearing, a flawy sort of two piece Greek inspired outfit that showed off her midriff and was translucent enough to give him a hint of her figure underneath, Xanthius naturally sort of forgot about healing his sister and Nemesis for a few moments. It was a pity that his siblings were either unconscious or not in the vicinity, as the expression on his face would easily prove that Xanthius was not entirely oblivious to the concept of scantily clad women. "H-hi… um…. if we can get them out to the arena, I think they'll be okay. Apollo's grove took care of almost all their injuries. Minor patching up is all that's left to do."
"I'm not the type to take advantage of helpless women, if that's what you're thinking," Helios told his daughter-in-law. "Besides, I only tease you because I actually respect and love you as a member of the family. You make my little girl happy, a task that was though to be rather difficult by everyone who has known her and her history with relationships." He frowned at the news that she wasn't totally healed. "I used my best magic on you. I've healed people cursed by blindness before, literally grown back their eyeballs. It should have worked." Refusing to accept this defeat, the god tried once more, hoping that Circe wouldn't see this bit off failure.

"Because the rainbows and unicorns were all massacred by that thing." Zarda replied there was no seeing anything good out of that thing whatever it was. It was just death nothing more, nothing less it seemed to live to destroy and kill everything in its way. There was no bright side of any of it there usually never was. Circe just didn't know that and probably never will. "Lyta suddenly got a whole lot of brothers and sisters without much work and a twin." She wasn't sure how the young goddess felt about all of this it could be good or bad she wasn't really sure but she'd probably find out soon enough.
"Good to know your time tossed children don't count at all by the way, don't ever let them hear you say that. Things will turn ugly real fast and we're outnumbered and have no idea what all they can do." The last thing they needed was world war IV starting here because of Circe. Sara raised an eyebrow at what Helios had said and couldn't help herself "Either that or he'd die with a happy and they had a handle to carry him out with." Zarda snorted "Okay that was a good one." she said.
"Amora barely counts." Sif replied as she got to her feet before she realized she had clothes on and wasn't about to ask who dressed her. "Do you think it'll be so easy to control something so old?" Sif asked, knowing these powers were older than all them put together. Telling something so old not to do something was asking for more then a lot.
"Eyes back in your head junior I'm a married woman." Bobbi wasn't saying it to be mean, but rather to get him to focus on what was going on and not her body. That was the downside of being the goddess of love, it was hard to get people to focus on a task. When they'd rather drool over her or other.... Things she didn't want to think about. Using her own magic she brought the two women through the portal back into the arena where the others were.
"She does know how to drive a person crazy sometimes though I'm not sure if she get's that from you or her mother." It was just some of the things she says or does that just annoyed Zarda sometimes when she was in a mood herself. "Yes, well, we never had to deal with a Japanese porno reject before either. Maybe I should just pull my eyes out and have them regrown because these one's aren't working right anymore and if you can't fix them what's the point in keeping them?"

Circe knew that Zarda was right, she just refused to admit it and accept it sometimes. Why would she? Her life had never been the happiest until she met her wife and then things changed for the better. Why would she want tragedy to strike again? But, it was clear that someone or something wanted to destroy them and their children, she just didn't know why. "I'm sure Lyta will be happy to have siblings now, though I think she had been hoping to be an older sister, not the youngest."
When the comment regarding the children came about, Circe frowned. "Zarda, the only one that has been around long enough for me to knows been Melina, and even then, she has had her own life to lead. I don't know her as a mother should. As for Kai? I was told flat out that she did not want to spend time with me or get to know us," she explained. "I thought I was making headway when Dante, Xanthius, and Hippolyta appeared. Those three... I don't know how you take this all so easily, Zarda. I want them all to be my family, but I don't think they want me to be their mother," she told her softly.
"I'm certain Amora will be ever so happy to hear that she barely counts when it comes to being a Jotunn," Circe told Sif, a slight smile briefly playing on her lips. "And no, old things don't like to be controlled. At most they work in tandem with others. Partner with with fire, if you can. Come to an agreement." For the moment, that was all Circe could think of asking Sif to do regarding her new powers. "You worked well enough for the ten years you were gone, correct? No major problems there?"
Xanthius had not been staring all that much, or at least it was what he thought. Trying to not think too much on the subject, he helped Bobbi take the women into the arena. Their wounds were healed, so that was a plus, but he was reluctant to try and wake them just in case they came to thinking they were still in the midst of battle. There was nothing worse than being punched or blasted with magic after trying to be so awesomely helpful.
"I think it's about 60-40 when it comes to Circe's personality. Maybe 70-30. Her mother has always been very set in her ways and can get emotional sometimes. Yes, surprising, I know." Perseis had always shown herself as an aloof woman, not really caring for certain things, but anyone close to her knew she was actually quite passionate and protective when push came to shove. "Pluck out your own eyes?" Helios asked, eyes glancing towards his daughter, hoping she hadn't heard. Naturally though, the goddess had and the look on her face was filled with worry as she came over. "He can't heal you?" she asked, a clear tremble in her voice. "How long would it take for them to grow back? How do we even know it will work?" It wasn't the fact that Circe was worried about having a blind wife, as there were many things that could try to substitute her sight with. No, it was the fact that she felt responsible for the affliction. Had Circe been stronger or not as affected by the drain in her magic, perhaps Zarda would have done better in battle. Perhaps she would have been able to help and prevent the attack from occurring. "I don't want you to feel any more pain…" she told her softly.

"Technically, she is the big sister if you don't count the other Hippolyta." From what she remembered there was a five thousand year difference between Hippolyta and Kaileena. "But that was the short grumpy Kai from what I saw when shit hit the fan, she was a lot taller and not so grrrr." Zarda had a habit of destroying Circe's reasons for not doing something, usually with good reason it also got the goddess to do things she wasn't sure she should do if Zarda wasn't there to give her a push. "Doesn't mean you guys can't still try and bond, but I think they might need time to mourn over the death of their parents before you try and do anything."
"Amora isn't even here to complain about it." Sif pointed out once she had gotten a look around the place a few others had disappeared as well, though she didn't know where they had gone to no one seemed that bothered by it. Must not be that big of a deal. "I'll do the best I can." If the urge was powerful enough, there really wasn't anything she could do to stop it. But hopefully it wouldn't ever come to that point. "Haven't really had any problems with it until now that is."
Unlike Xanthius Bobbi knew how to wake someone up without getting hurt and that's what she did, although she couldn't help but notice how Nemesis seemed disappointed that she was alive before she quickly covered it up. Did she really want to die and was hoping that this battle would have been her end? The blonde chose not to say anything at the moment, maybe bring it up later when there weren't so many people around.
"So shocking." yes, she knew Perseis wasn't all that bad and Zarda didn't mess with her that much she mostly saved it for Helios but the guy gave as well as he got it was just their way of showing they cared for each other. "The great and powerful sun titan claimed he could grow eyes back from nothing seeing as the healing isn't working I thought he remove them and grow a new pair. Unless that's way too much work for someone so old. I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't do it you know it's probably time for him to retire let someone younger take his place."

"Lyta might not count that as a technicality, you know how she sometimes is, but perhaps if you explain it to her she'll understand." That was the best thing about Zarda, she often 'got' and understood her daughter better than Circe could. As for what she said about Kai? That whole commentary made Circe chuckle a little. "Taller and not so much grrr. I will have to remember that. I will try to bond with them once they are ready. I won't push them into anything until they've moved on, but I will be there for them if they need be."
Pleased with the answers Sif gave, Circe nodded and gestured to Dante, waking him up. Mary, who wanted to help in any way she could, made sure she was by his side as he woke up. Perhaps a friendly and kind looking face would reassure and relax him. Unlike her two other minds, when Mary was in charge, her face was usually clean and free of blood and paint. Magic and her powers made it easier for others to know who was in charge throughout the day. It was an unexpected perk.
Xanthius watch both Bobbi and Nemesis, though he looked a bit disappointed once he saw the expression upon the latter's face. Had he done something wrong? Was shrapnel stuck inside her? "Are you not fully healed? What areas did I miss? I thought I was being thorough with my efforts?" he asked before looking over at his unconscious sister, worried his magic had failed her as well. "Mel? Mel, are you okay?" Touching her, Xan sent a small bit of magic coursing through her body, having seen his mother do it a thousand times.
"Not just claimed. I have grown eyes back. Just ask Orion," Helios replied, a bit defensively. "And kiddo, you'll be lucky if you look half as good as me when you're my age. We'll see how much of you sags and is soft around the middle. Magic and sucking the life out of other people can't fix everything. But maybe try a little duct tape and spackle." Circe rolled her eyes at this exchange, clearly the only one who was even remotely worried about her wife's health. "Daddy, just fix her, please?" At that, Helios smiled and kissed his daughter on the cheek. "As my princess wishes. I can't promise it will be entirely painless, but I'll make it as quick as possible."
Cradling Zarda's head in one hand, Helios was as gentle as he could be as he plucked her eyes out, using his magic to remove the pain. Being even more considerate, as they were about to be removed, a simple gesture turned the eyes into globes of lavender flame, which slowly faded and were absorbed into his skin. The easy part done, the sun god gently kissed Zarda's eyelids as his magic sped up the healing process, the same lavender flames on his lips. Circe did notice with relief that her wife's lids were not sunken in, meaning that she now had a new pair. She only worried that they would actual fully function like before. Taking her hand, Circe squeezed it tightly, trying not to shake or think dread thoughts until her wife actually used her new eyes for the first time.
