the knowledge Beth was his.
Beth paused for a moment before she answered him. "I
don't know if I feel any different. I'm just extremely happy
the happiest woman in the world."
Poseidon was about to answer her when he was
interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat.
"Ahem. Excuse me there, kids," an invisible voice said.
Beth looked around to see where the voice was coming
from, but she didn't see anyone else in the room.
"Hold on," Poseidon said, and suddenly, he and Beth were
lying on her bed fully clothed. As they sat up, a man appear
at the foot of the bed dressed in black, head to toe, with short
black hair and a neatly shaved goatee. She noticed that even
his eyes were pitch black, and when he looked at her, all the
hair on her arms stood up.
Poseidon took one look at the man and jumped up off the
bed, laughing.
"Hey man, haven't seen you in ages! What's going on
Hades?" Poseidon asked as he and the man hugged each
other and patted each other on the back.
"Hey bro, heard you had some action here tonight and
came to check it out," he joked as he was looking at Beth.
"So, she's the one, huh? Rumour has it you called in all the
favours for her to make her immortal, right? Gotta tell ya
man, she's a pretty hot chickie," Hades teased smiling at
Beth.

Poseidon reached for Beth's hand, and she stood up next
to him. He put his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to
him, and she placed her arm around his waist, her hand in his
back pocket.
"Beth, this is my little brother Hades. Hades, this is Beth,
and don't get any ideas about her 'cause I'd hate to have to
kick your ass all over the place," Poseidon half-joked.
"Don't worry, bro. I've got my eye on someone I've been
working on," Hades told him.
"Poor girl," Poseidon chuckled.
"Yeah, another mortal, too. It must run in the family," he
quipped.
Beth looked at Hades in amazement. She now had two
gods standing in her bedroom, talking about picking up
women. Beth knew Hades was the god of the underworld, and
death, so it was no wonder he had given her the chills when
he'd appeared and looked at her. He was really very
handsome and well built, but Beth thought he was scary. She
knew she wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley, or a well
lit alley for that matter.
"Well, first of all, Beth, welcome to the family," Hades said
to her and smiled. When he let himself smile he was a lot less
scary and definitely more handsome.
"Ummm, thank you," Beth said, a little nervous to be
talking directly to him.
"So, now I take it you got some trash for me to pick up for
you?" Hades asked as he looked around the room.
"Hold on a sec," Poseidon said as he moved from Beth and
left the room. Beth and Hades just stood there looking at

each other. Beth gave him a nervous smile as they waited for
Poseidon to return.
Poseidon came back with Michael flung over his shoulder
then let him fall gracelessly to the floor at Hades' feet. Hades
nudged Michael with his combat boot. "This is him, I take it?"
"I don't have to tell you, you should be able to sense it.
The guy is evil, and all he's gonna do is hurt someone really
bad or kill them. The world will be a better place without
him," Poseidon explained.
Hades bent down to Michael and placed a hand on him. His
expression changed, his brows knit together and he looked
troubled. He stood up and looked back to Poseidon and Beth.
"Actually, I can tell you, if he's let loose, I can see he's
going to become more and more violent and innocent lives
will be lost," Hades told them.
Beth stood shocked at what Hades had told them, but at
the same time, she believed Michael would turn to murder.
She knew he needed to be dealt with and she looked down at
him as he started to move on the floor.
"Looks like Sleeping Beauty is starting to wake up," Hades
observed. "I think we should be going."
Hades went to Michael and knelt on the floor next to him.
"Who the hell are you?" Michael asked, looking at Hades.
"I'm your worst nightmare, man," Hades told him seriously
then looked up at Poseidon and Beth. "Later on kids. Be good,
and don't do anything I wouldn't do," he said with a grin, and
he disappeared with Michael.
Poseidon and Beth were alone again.

"Are you okay with Michael going with my brother?" he
asked as he turned towards her.
"After what Hades said, it sounds like the only solution,"
she agreed. She wanted to protect any lives Michael might
have destroyed in the future.
Poseidon took Beth in his arms and kissed her.
"I just want to make sure you're okay with where he's
going," Poseidon explained. "So, what would you like to do
your first night being immortal?" he asked her. Anything she
wanted to do, anything she suggested he would agree to, as
long as they were together.
Beth turned from Poseidon and climbed back up on her
bed and turned to face him as she knelt.
"Well, I'm thinking maybe we could do that clothes
disappearing thing again," she suggested as she crooked her
finger for him to come to bed.
Poseidon joined her, grinning like a fool, knowing Beth was
going to adjust to being immortal just fine.
