Neron watched her leave the group. Jumping down from the tree, he wrapped his arm with the bandage she had placed on his hand. After that was secured, he jogged after her. "You enjoy yourself?"
"Would have been better if I wasn't being stalked and someone didn't rip open his arm."
"I wasn't stalking you," he told her. "I was simply watching over you; and I was seeing how my powers would react to my new mortality. Better to find out now than when we're fighting."
"I doubt we will be fighting anytime soon," she said and lit another cigarette. She sat on the steps as Keith's front door as she blew out smoke.
"If the gods wish to do battle, then I will fight," he told her. Looking at the cigarette he held out his hand. "May I?"
She passed it to him. "So...you are going to fight then."
Neron took it and took a puff, choking, but trying it again. "Yes," he told her. "If you will let me."
Mia lit her own cigarette. "I don't think I have much of a choice. You'll end up doing what you want anyways."
"No, I won't. I want your opinion on this," he told her. "We're in this together. If you do not want me to fight, I won't."
"I want you to do what you think is right. I don't think I should be selfish right now."
"You wouldn't be selfish." He reached out and brushed her hair. "If I do this, I will need you behind me a hundred percent. If you have any doubt, please tell me now."
She thought about it a moment. "I'll follow you until the very end."
Blowing smoke out, he nodded. Nuzzling her neck, he smirked into it. "If I kill the gods, we could make it to your parents for this...Christmas you speak about."
"Yeah...you make it sound so easy."
He smirked into her neck. "You have never witnessed us fight at our full power."
"You could really die this time...so don't be reckless..."
Taking her cigarette, he set it on the ground beside his as he cupped her face. "If I died, would you miss me?"
She was taken back. "You already know the answer to that," she said slowly. "And you're scaring me..."
"Tell me," he urged her. "Tell me...that you'd miss me."
Her eyes began to water. "I would miss you...more than you know."
He pressed his lips to her forehead and smiled. "Thank you."
Mia wrapped her arms around him. "Stop talking like that, ok? It freaks me out."
He smiled against her. "I just want you to be aware that death...." He shook his head against her. "Just...make certain that if I should perish, please...take care of yourself. Okay?"
She nodded against him. "I don't know how my life will be without you."
He smiled as he moved and lifted her into his lap. "You'll be fine," he promised. "I know you will."
She moved her head to his shoulder. "I don't want to be ok without you."
He smirked into her flesh. "If, and I do mean if, I should perish. You will find a good man. One that will love you right. One that will make you happy." He cupped her face and made her look at him. "Please just promise me that man won't be Keith."
"I don't want to find another man..." she said honestly. "And what if it was Keith?"
Neron smirked as he kissed her. "Then I'd come back from the afterlife or whatever horrible place I'm in and I'd cut off his manhood."
"It that's what gets you back, then I will defiantly be with him," she teased.
"I doubt I'd be much fun as a ghost."
"I'll take you any way I can have you."
He smirked at this. "And just what would you propose that you'd do with a ghostly me?"
"I don't know. Just having you around is enough," she said holding him tighter. "Please...I don't want to talk about this."
"Of course master." He nuzzled her and wrapped his arms around her. "What would you like to talk about?"
"Anything but your death sounds pretty good. Oh, that and your sex life with Loki," she said.
"Aww you don't want to know all the details?" He smirked and trailed kisses playfully over her jaw.
"If you must tell them to me...let me get my gun so I can blow my brains out first," she said as her eyes closed. She moaned lightly at his touch.
"But they're so...naughty." His tongue trailed over her flesh. He leaned forward and nibbled on her earlobe.
She pulled back, looking at him sternly. "I don't want to hear about you fucking some guy!"
He wanted to tell her it was the other way around, but his face softened as he caressed her. "It was a joke," he whispered. "Trust me, when I'm with you he's the farthest thing from my mind."
Mia softened a bit. Leaning back into him, she sighed. "Ok...better remember that."
He smiled. "I will."
"Neron, Sophitia and I are going to talk with Zeus," Keith said as he poked his head out the door. "You want to come with?"
Neron looked to Mia for her permission.
Mia placed her hand on his cheek. She nodded. "Ok." Standing, she grabbed her gun from Keith and strapped it to her thigh under her skirt.
Neron quickly moved her skirt back down as Keith tried to look up it. "You really need to wear jeans more," he sighed.
Keith chuckled and tossed Sophitia the car keys. "You drive, maid."
Sophitia walked to the car while Mia looked at Neron. "I can't hide a gun in jeans," Mia said as they got in the car.
"Yeah, but Keith keeps trying to get an eyeful," he muttered, wrapping a protective arm around her as they got into the car.
"You act like that's new," she said. "He's seen me in a bikini before. This isn't too different." Sophitia started on the road.
Keith smirked as he looked back at them. "She looked hot! I had to keep my jeans on the entire time to hide my...excitement."
"Don't make me stab you," Neron warned.
"It's not such a shocker. Don't you remember that when we first met, I was wearing my bikini? You thought I was a whore," Mia said with a light laugh.
Neron blushed and rolled his eyes. "I wasn't accustomed to seeing women wear that unless they worked in brothels."
"Well here, girls wear them all summer long," she pointed out.
"Really!?" Neron didn't try to hide his interest in that. Females were such fascinating creatures; and he was still getting accustomed to seeing so much of their flesh.
"Yep!" Keith chuckled. "Boy do you have a lot to learn if you're going to be human."
"Keith always has these really great parties at his beach house during the summer and everyone wears bikinis and swim suits. This summer I'm sure will be no different," Mia said and smiled at Keith. "He lets me stay over so I don't go home with any jerks."
"He probably just wanted to try and score with you," Neron muttered.
Keith smirked. "Yeah, but she'd never peel off the swimsuit no matter how hard I tried."
"I learn at fourteen that I couldn't wear the kind that tie together. He always pulled them." Suddenly she shivered. "I just realized that when I was fourteen...you were still nineteen. Keith! That is creepy and wrong! Please tell me I'm the only poor fourteen year old you prayed on!"
"Technically when you were fourteen I was...thirty three." He shrugged, an impish grin on his lips. "Man, those were some good times." He purposely avoided her other question.
Mia smacked him. "You are sick!"
He shrugged. "Sex is sex."
They pulled up to the meeting place. An old warehouse in the worst part of town. Neron still favored his right arm, making a note that his blades were out of the question in case of a fight. He wondered if his miasma would kill him.
Stepping inside, Elyssa stood before them. "Please, right this way," she said.
Mia grabbed Neron's hand and Sophitia moved in front of Keith like a shield, making sure that if something were to happen, she would take the blow.
"As you know, we're planning a war against the gods," Elyssa told them as they followed her. "In order to do that, we'll need everyone at their full strength. Sophitia, you're already at your full power, correct?"
"Duh," Sophitia said sharply.
Mia snickered.
"Good," Elyssa smiled. "And what about you Neron? Are you?"
"I-"
Elyssa smirked. Lightning crashed down toward Neron. He instinctively pushed Mia away as the lightning ripped through his chest. He wasn't able to scream before Zeus appeared behind him. He placed his hands one either side of Neron's heads, smirking as he pushed lightning through his brain. Energy pushed out from him, creating a shield to keep them back.
Neron struggled, lashing around in Zeus's grip, the lightning frying his flesh and searing his brain.
Mia screamed in agony as she laid on the ground holding her head. She cried out over and over for it to stop while screaming for Neron. The pain was unlike anything she had felt before and she knew that she was going to black out from it soon if it didn't stop. Sophitia did everything she could to break through the shield and started to make progress when she finally managed to crack it. Mia shook with pain and Sophitia tried to work hard.
"You're killing him!" Sophitia yelled.
"He'll heal," Elyssa told them coldly.
"No he won't! Their healing powers are gone! Didn't you see the bandages?" Keith snapped. Looking back at Neron, he watched as his mouth began to foam as blood dripped from his ears and eyes.
"Almost," Zeus whispered. There was another loud crack of lightning shot through Neron's skull. With a smirk, he pushed Neron's body to the ground, smoke rising from his face as he wiped his hands off. "I did as you commanded master."
Elyssa ran to him, growling as she was stopped by Sophitia. "Let me get to him!"
Sophitia held Elyssa in her grip she looked at Zeus. "Step back or I'll rip her skull from her shoulder!" she growled.
Mia struggled to get to Neron. She pulled him into her arms while she cried. Her bond with him was low. She could barely feel him. Ripping some of her shirt, she started wiping his face, getting the blood off him.
"Neron," she begged. "Please....come back to me...." she cried.
Sophitia held Elyssa tighter, hearing her cry out with the grip. "I'm warning you, Zeus."
"No problem," he said in with a casual yawn. Walking past them, he pulled Elyssa to him. "Hades is all yours. I was simply following the orders of my master."
"Get away from him!" Elyssa yelled as she watched Mia cradle Neron. "He's not yours anymore! He's mine!"
Sophitia moved over Neron quickly. She pulled some bandages from her pockets. "I knew something like this would happen. I knew they couldn't be trusted," she said as Mia held him and she bandaged him.
Mia looked at Keith. "What...what do I do?"
"Would have been better if I wasn't being stalked and someone didn't rip open his arm."
"I wasn't stalking you," he told her. "I was simply watching over you; and I was seeing how my powers would react to my new mortality. Better to find out now than when we're fighting."
