Let's Go To Hell!
This was starting to get annoying. Argo had repeatedly explained to the Fan Club that they needed to move on, he was no longer available for their entertainment and their fangirl lust. He'd done it nicely even and the majority of the girls had been very gracious about it. One had even gifted Harmony with some lingere that had made her turn so red that the color took two days to fully leave her face. However, there was one woman that was insistent upon staying put and more than that, was insistent upon giving Harmony complete crap. Today it was another note about being a "filthy Jesus freak" pinned to the door of HQ.

"Argo?" Harmony tracked him down note in hand. She hoped she'd seen it first as she didn't want any of her teammates seeing it. They'd leap to her defense, which was noble, but she didn't want them having to deal with such petty drama.

"She's at it again."

	"Sheena?" Argo asked, though he knew the answer. She was one of the few of the fanclub to remain, and the only one who truly seemed interested in harassing Harmomy. He frowned. "I am sorry," he said. "You should not have to deal with this." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Argo, it's unhealthy the way she's obsessed with you. How can we make her understand that she really isn't going to change your mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-24 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, you are right," Argo agreed. He shook his head. "I am uncertain. This has never been a problem for me before. Perhaps... were we to speak to her together?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you really think that will do anything? She doesn't consider me a real person, Argo. She doesn't seem to consider dealing with my existence to be something she has to do, save for trying to drive me away from you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo considered this, and let out a breath. "She has become increasingly persistent of late. Even before, she was... fiercely competitive with the other women." He frowned. "Worrisome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What do we need to do, Argo?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-26 12:52 am UTC (link)
	"This is becoming dangerous," Argo mused. "It is not good for you, nor healthy for her. She must be made to understand. No matter how much it may hurt her. I will confront her. Directly and harshly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are you going to be okay to do that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-26 01:16 am UTC (link)
	He nodded. "I am. I know what I was... but I also know who I wish to be and what I want from the future." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That was something she hadn't expected him to say and now he had her curious. He'd been considering the future, his future? It wasn't that she didn't think him capable of being contemplative of anything further than the next day, just that she had seen so many changes in Argo in recent weeks and months. The young god was becoming more and more a man every day right in front of her eyes.

"What is it that you want from the future, Argo?"

	Life, even immortal life, takes funny changes at times, strange paths down the winding threads of fate. The promise of something more than fleeting moments of pleasure, the risks--nay, the adventure--of commitment and sharing a life, those were the greatest adventures of all. "I desire a future that has you in it," he said. "For as long as can be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I feel the need to remind you that I will get old and wrinkled and will die. People will assume at some point that I'm your grandmother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-26 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	Argo knew. And had various small thoughts in that direction and how it might not be. But those he kept private. "And I still will love you then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-09-26 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	"I will hold you to that as best I can, Argo, but please know that I don't expect you to do anything that will make your life difficult." She smiled at him. "Back to the issue at hand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-26 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	Argo smiled in return, warm and bright. "I will speak to her. Harshly. I shall make it clear that there is nothing and never was anything more between us than what already was." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	She paced outside the Champions headquarters, furiously. How could Argo possibly continue consorting with that mortal? That mortal with the foolish notions of how the universe really worked? It was enraging. She ought to simply kill the fragile creature and be done with it. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-27 02:23 am UTC (link)
	Argo steeled himself for the confrontation that lay ahead, and exited the building. "Sheena," he said. "I would have words with you. This behavior... it cannot go on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_olympian 2010-09-27 02:24 am UTC (link)
	She fixed him with a hungry gaze. "But Argo," she said, "don't you love me? Aren't I far better than your Jesus-loving girl?" She practically purred. "I'm perfect for you, Argo. I could love you for all time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-27 02:26 am UTC (link)
	"Time passes for all," Argo told her. "Save the gods. And I chose to spend my time with Harmony. Not you. You knew before, it was but fleeting. To think otherwise, when I made such clear, makes you the fool." "What was, was," he said, sternly. "But will be no more. And I will not have you treat my love so shamefully." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_olympian 2010-09-27 02:33 am UTC (link)
	"I mean what I say, Argo," she said, getting closer to him, running a finger up and down her broad chest. "I can love you forever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-27 02:34 am UTC (link)
	Argo was confused. "You are mistaken," he said. "I do not think you know what you are saying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_olympian 2010-09-27 02:36 am UTC (link)
	She scowled. "Are you truly that dim?" she asked. She took a step back and waved a hand, her clothing transforming into a skimpy outfit of green. "Oceania, of the line of Poseidon. A goddess. Who shall love you forever!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-27 02:37 am UTC (link)
	"...this is new," Argo stated, surprised beyond words. A goddess? In love with him? And... "Harmony..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_olympian 2010-09-27 02:38 am UTC (link)
	She stepped closer again, practically purring. "Your mortal tart? Forget her. Now you know I meant what I said. Be with me, Argo. Forever! Lovers in immortality!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-09-27 02:42 am UTC (link)
	"Why can't you respect his choice? If you loved him, that would matter to you, respect for him." Harmony came outside when she saw Oceania semi-posing for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-27 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Argo took a couple steps back, and put his arm around Harmony, somewhat protectively. "Sheena, Oceania, whatever you call yourself... my heart belongs elsewhere. Here, with this woman, with Harmony. And naught in Olympus or Hades may change that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_olympian 2010-09-27 02:54 am UTC (link)
	Oceania laughed. "You would chose this frail, brief mortal over me?" Her expression darkened, as did the sky. Thunder rumbled in the distance. "You've made a grievous error." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-09-27 02:58 am UTC (link)
	"No. He's made his choice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-27 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Argo placed himself more firmly between Harmony and Oceania. "Harmony... you need to go inside. Now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_olympian 2010-09-27 03:06 am UTC (link)
	A bolt of lightning lanced out at Oceania's direction, striking Argo squarely in the chest. From the look on her face, it was clear it had been aimed for Harmony. "No! Mortal bitch! I'll kill you for that!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-09-27 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	Harmony looked at the distance between where she was standing and the door to the building. It was merely a few feet and with Argo blocking the crazy woman, she was sure she could make it. She bolted for the door, using the ambient sounds of the neighborhood to pull a shield behind her as an added layer of protection as she rushed in the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-27 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	The bolt was powerful, it probably would have killed Harmony instantly, incinerating her to ash. Argo, his chest crisped but already beginning to heal, teetered on his feet unsteadily. "I... will not... let you... harm... her..." he said, his breath sharp and coming through gritted teeth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_olympian 2010-09-27 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Rest now, my love," Oceania told Argo softly, a summoned ocean breeze pulled from somewhere pushing him aside. "When she is slain, we shall be together." She directed a bolt at Harmony's shield. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-09-28 03:32 am UTC (link)
	If a monstrous creature sent from heaven to utterly destroy her couldn't breach her shield, neither could Oceania. The bolt hit the shield bit did nothing more than propel Harmony forward more quickly. She was safely inside at a rapid speed, though feeling helpless to do anything for Argo. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-28 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	Argo teetered on his feet, unsteadily trying to put himself between the door and Oceania. "You shall... not... pass!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_olympian 2010-09-28 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	She made a face. "Please. I saw that movie too." She shoved him aside. "No use hiding, mortal. I will find you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-09-29 02:33 am UTC (link)
	She needed to get to Argo. She needed to get him inside where it was safe and get him away from the crazy woman but she couldn't. "Argo...just get inside. Get inside..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-29 02:48 am UTC (link)
	It took all of Argo's strength, but he mustered what he could, delivering a double-handed blow to Oceania, throwing her across the street--before he could limp inside. "That won't... slow her down... for long..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-09-29 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"I know." Harmony wrapped hear arms around Argo. She was worried that the next attack would be fatal but for the moment, she was more worried about Argo than herself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-29 02:57 am UTC (link)
	"I am sorry..." he said, trailing off. "I had no idea she was... like me..." What had he gotten her into? The gods, even the offspring of gods, were incredibly powerful. Would Harmony ever be safe...? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-09-29 02:08 pm UTC (link)
	"It's okay, Argo. It's going to be okay. Perhaps she'll find someone else to fixate on. Let's just not worry about this. We're both safe right now." She kissed his cheek. "It's all going to be okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2010-09-29 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	Argo nodded, wishing he could believe it as easily as Harmony did. Gods were often known for their single-mindedness. "You are right," he said instead. "Perhaps she shall decide I am not worth the effort." If only I could be so sure that you will be safe... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
