This is a MegxHades story. If you don't like, don't read. None of the characters, except for one, is mine.

Meg looked out of the window. It was a nice warm Summer day. She smiled, as she started to wash her dishes. She watched Hercules training with Phill and the Pegasus.

"Meg, come out. It's a great day!" Herc shouted as he slowly walked towards the window. But Megara just shook her head. "I've got to clean wonderboy. Would you like to help?" Meg giggled.

Hercules laughed. "Certainly not." Then he sighed deeply. "Phill forces me to train all day…"

"Oh…" Meg frowned. Training always kept him from spending the day with her. But he Was a hero and it was necessary for him to be the very best. "It's fine." Meg gently put her Hand on his cheek and then gently kissed his cheek.

"Thanks for understanding." Hercules answered gratefully. "Hey, you are my big, tough husband and I love you for that!"

"Hey, you still got a lot of training to do before you can-"

"Yeah, Phill. ALRIGHT!" Herc sighed."Training. See you later, sweetie."

"You too!" Meg replied and sadly went back to work. It wasn't fair! Sure, HE wanted to be there for her, but his duties kept them from being truly happy. They had been married for nine years now, and at first, it was amazing. But Hercule was a hero. He lived to protect his others. He lived for others, not for himself. And not for her.

Way down, in the underworld a hand slowly emerged from the river styx.

Panic was the first to see it. "What... What's going on?" he muttered to himself, however he knew it too well.

"Hades!" He watched the god crawling out of the River of death. "I've got to tell Pain." He said, but just as he turned to run a voice shouted :"Stay where you are, you little-!" He turned to Hades who now stood behind him, glaring at the little imp.

"Oh, um, hades! You are back? Already?"

"Oh YEah! I am back! Tell me, how long was I stuck in that river?" He grabbed the green imps tail and his blue flames turned red.

"O-oh, don't worry, just nine years!"

"AAHHHH!What?" Hades screamed and threw his minion to the ground. "Where is the other one?"

"Oh, I, um, I'll just get him. He, I'll be right back…" Panic hurried off to inform his friend that their loathed boss was back.

Meg gasped. She had no idea why, but for some reason, she had got a bad feeling. Something was wrong. Just…what?

"Mother? Are you fine?" A small voiced asked her.

"Huh? Oh, dear. Yes it is." Meg answered lovingly and gently patted her little daughters head. Well, adopted daughter. When Herc and Meg had just been married, both of them had found Meddi in the streets of Thebes. She had just been a baby at that time. However, Meddi did not knew that Megara and Hercules were not her real parents. And did it really matter? After all, they loved her just like an own daughter.

In fact, no one else, except for Phill & Pegasus, knew about Meddi being adopted. Not even Zeus, Hera or any other God. However, it certainly wasn't easy to keep secrets from them.

Meg was rather surprised that no one had found out yet, After all, Meddi had long brown hair like Meg, but her eyes were greyish green. Her face was very round and Meg knew that would not change once she was grown up.

"Well, you could help me with dinner…" Megara said. She wanted to cook some mushrooms.

"Nah, I'll go and play. Cooking is really stupid."

Meg laughed. "Well, if you can't cook, you will starve." Meg shook her head.

"Yeah…but cooking is still boring."

Meddi ran off, and Meg watched her grinning.

"Yeah, Meddi is more of an artistic person. She loves to act, dance and sing. Still, that girl should realize, that she also has to learn stuff she does not like."

"So. Let me get this straight! Hercules became a god, but refused to stay one because he wanted to marry. Who? " Hades asked.

"Megara," Panic answered.

Hades sighed. "That's what I thought. Ell, well. Then I shall destroy their marriage. That way, him giving up godhood was completely pointless and Meg, well, she will regret ever wanting her freedom back." He chuckled. "Yeah, but how?"

"Oh, oh, oh!" Pain shouted. "You could make one of them cheat with someone else!"

"Hmm, not a bad idea, I guess. But with whom? Of, course if Herc was the one, Meg would never ever trust anyone ever again. On the other hand, making her cheat on HIM seems much easier."

"B-but how?" panic asked. "Hmmmmmmm…"

"Ahh!" Hades had an idea. He went to a special room. Here is the answer…" He walked over to a box and calmly took out a small bottle with silver liquid.

"Human elixir…"

"But…if you consume this, won't you turn into a…?" Panic gulped. Imagining that was pretty weird.

"Sure, but only physically! I will keep my powers…this way I will make Meg fall for "me" and Hercules would hate her! Then I'll drop her, taunt Herci a little and both of their lives are ruined. For ever!" He chuckled.

"Sounds good, but…they DO have a daughter!" Pain pointed out.

"Yeah, so? That won't save them." Hades grinned and slowly put the bottle to his lips.
