Going Back (For Now) Chp 68

#TIMESKIP 2 WEEKS LATER#

#Aiden POV#

The two weeks went relatively fast. One of the best things that happened was that Mark broke up with the b#tch Amber which was honestly a relief although afterward, she tried to get him in trouble with the law, Cecil managed to get her to shut up and keep quiet about Mark's identity.

I also got closer with Hera although it is a slow process we are working on it. She did tell me that I have a right to claim her as my wife since I killed Zeus everything that he owned has passed over to me which included her as well. In all honesty, I just told her that it would be her choice if she wants to be with me or not.

But she responded by saying that she doesn't really have anyone left. Demeter was one of the first ones to be killed. Hestia left and was taken in by another pantheon. Ares didn't care about her as he seems to be a warmonger version. Hephaestus was the only one that was saved from Olympus by other pantheons in a joined effort as Zeus had requested a weapon that would let him kill everyone in his way.

While Adamantine has incredible magic compatibility second only to Uru, it is easier to obtain Adamantine. While Zeus didn't know how to get the metal Hephaestus does. In fact from what Hera told me there might be a considerable amount of it on Olympus which nearly made me salivate at the thought of it.

She agreed to be with me on a few conditions since she knows I am dating Jean that I pay her and any other woman that joins me with the same attention, basically no favorites. Second that I inform Jean or her of who is joining and that they need to get their approval first. Third, which is that we all marry each other which made me pause and ask why not that I am complaining.

She revealed to us just why she is so bitter towards Zeus and his infidelity. She gets hurt badly not physically but mentally. She told me to imagine being skinned alive and then having acid poured on your skinless body and then having molten metal poured at the end. That sounds painful but Hera endured it as her main domain is marriage which is why it affected her so much.

Jean and I agreed to all those conditions and then we shared our first kiss it was chaste and I could feel her lips trembling and when I pulled back I noticed that she covered her face as Jean looked at her and then at me as we both hugged Hera. She explained that Zeus would beat her whenever he got angry in fact he didn't even force himself on her as he saw her as a kid does an old toy.

That night we all sleep on the same bed we didn't do anything we just held each other.

My memories are interrupted as Mark arrives with a bag over his shoulder.

"Hi, Mark ready to go to a new world?" I asked as he touched down I invited him over to go since the Zone arrived which made it seem like a hallway that I am able to use to go between here and the Marvel Multiverse. I am also able to go back into the Zone again and my powers are completely back even my adaptation is back to full power which made me happy and although I haven't gone back home I am sure we can cross it while I shield all of them

"Yeah, just a bit nervous going somewhere new for a while which is completely underestimating the scope of it," He responded completely overwhelmed I explained to him that we would return seconds later after we left which made him a bit confused at first but he finally agreed as he needed some time to himself after what happened with his dad as well as he wanted to me to train him which I agreed on the condition that he helped me out when I needed it.

With the speedforce, we will be able to go back a few moments after we left Olympus. I asked Mark if he wanted to come after I more or less explained to him the multiverse. I didn't tell him much more due to me not trusting him.

"We are ready too," Said Hera coming out of the apartment with a few bags as I took the bags with my telekinesis alongside Jean as she came close and kissed me lightly.

"So we are going back finally I want my full powers back," She said pouting since I had explained to her why we were all weekend in magic but I still had mine which made me think that it is more of their powers being from other dimensions in the Marvel multiverse.

"Ok, everyone ready?" I asked them to which they nodded

I opened a gateway into that Zone as I shielded them from being harmed in any way. I have Zeus's spear strapped to my back which I made sure not to leave behind. As we entered I made us move into the Zone as I am its master I can feel every nook and cranny of this place. I began using the speedforce to make us arrive moments after we left Olympus.

We arrive in the fortress with a crack of lightning.

"Did we make it back when we were supposed to?" asked Jean as I went over to one of the monitors and checked the date

"We arrive an hour after our assault on Olympus," I said a bit disappointed at not arriving at the time we were supposed to but close enough.

Jean began to glow and orange-red

"Yeah, we are back," she said happily while flying a bit and making circles of fire

"We are back home," I said relieved while feeling my core which nearly drained itself since I didn't want to use the energy in the Zone.

(N/A: No the other three won't follow him back)
