Car Calamity

I feel really really bad for not updating sooner, but in my defense I've had a lot on my plate lately. But hey, better late than never, right?

Random AU: Car trouble

The envy green Volvo slowed until it rolled to a stop on the empty road. A woman in her mid thirties opened up the door, her flaming red hair slightly frizzled.

She slammed the door and huffed, it was just not her day.


She walked into the small diner called Granny's needing coffee. She didn't come there often. It probably had to do with the fact that she hated the employees. For some reason the waitress, Ruby, got under her skin.

Zelena had a personal vendetta against her. Perhaps it was because she hopped from bed to bed. Or it could be because she was with Zelena's arch nemesis. Right now she could care less about that. She had a more pressing issue to attend to: The lack of coffee in her system.

She placed her order at the counter and waited as patiently as she could. When she turned around she got a chest full of hot coffee.

"Im so sorry!"

"Watch where your going!" She snapped.

Hands reached out and gave her napkins to clean herself up. She looked up to see a man with the fluffiest blonde hair and, she stopped wiping her shirt, the most beautiful blue eyes. Gods, she could swim in those blue pools.

"Let me help you with that." The man said, grabbing more towels.

What's he talking about? Oh Right. She was angry and drenched in coffee.

"I don't need anyone's help." She said angrily.

He was very lucky her coffee didn't spill. All hell would be unleashed if it did. She stormed out of the diner to her car.


Zelena smoothed the wrinkles out of her new blouse as she walked up the pathway to her work, thinking It was a good thing she had another blouse in her car.

Zelena had been working as a secretary for The Brothers Grimm law firm for half a year now and she wanted to get that raise.

After all, who wouldn't want an extra hundred dollars added on to their salary?

Zelena would love the extra cash, but unfortunately, so would Dorothy Gale.

She wished that farm girl would take a long walk off a short pier, or at least take her flea bitten mutt and get the hell out of Dodge and never look back.

They've hated one another ever since they laid eyes on each other, but not without cause.

The condensed version was that Zelena had the opportunity to work in the law firm NESW - north, east, south and west - but Dorothy came and ruined everything. Dorothy got the job, and Zelena's green eyed monster came out.

Zelena got in the elevator and watched as the doors started to close.

She sighed while thinking about the man that nearly ruined her day. Did he apologize? She thought, thinking back.

The elevator doors opened on her floor and she got out.

As she walked towards her desk she noticed her boss was waiting for her by her desk.

"Good morning." Zelena said.

"Good morning, Ms. Mills." Mr. Gold said as he toyed with a little metal bicycle on her desk. "I wanted to speak to you about the raise. Look, there's no easy way to say this but, Dorothy got it."

"What? I've been here longer. Dorothy's already getting paid more than me as it is!" She said hotly.

"Be that as it may, she still gets the raise."

As he walked away Zelena's gaze burned a hole in the back of his head.


Zelena popped the hood of the car open as she wondered what to do. It was obvious that the battery was dead, but last time she checked, it took two cars and jumper cables to jumpstart a car.

She decided that she would just phone Regina. She knew that Regina was on a date with Robin but Zelena would just have to face her wrath.

Well the calling Regina plan won't work, she couldn't call anyone really, considering her phone was dead.

No phone. No car. No raise. "What a fantastic day this is." Zelena thought sarcastically.

Then came a more depressing thought:

She'd have to wave someone down to help her. On a deserted road. While the sky was darkening.

With the luck she was having today, if someone did help her, it would be a psychotic mass murderer.

Zelena sighed as she pressed her hands on the side of the car, wondering how long this would take.

Apparently not long, because she could her the purr of an engine, and oddly enough, someone singing about how they don't want to set the world on fire.

It turns out the singing was coming from inside a car, a nice chrome red 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and it just so happened the nice car belonged to none other than the clumsy coffee man.

When his car came to a stop she wondered if spending a night in her car would kill her.

"You again?" She said irritably when he got out.

"Unfortunately yes. I saw you were stopped so I thought I would help."

"Well aren't you a good Samaritan." She replied sarcastically.

"Yeah well I know you don't need anyone, but I thought I since I ruined your lovely blouse I could make up for it." He said as he opened his trunk and pulled out jumper cables.

As he worked on getting her car started he tried to make conversation.

"So do all these sarcastic comments come with a name, or do I simply have to call you snarky?"

She scoffed then said, "Zelena."

"Oh well that's pretty."

"Now do you have a name or do I have to call you asshole?"

"Hades."

"Like the god of death?" She questioned.

"Exactly like the god of death."

"Did your parents hate you or something?"

He smiled. "Well you're in no position to judge, Zelena." He drawled, emphasizing her name.

"I'll have you know it means green, moon, heaven, and sky in various languages."

"Does it also mean 'bitter one'?" He said laughing as she smacked his arm. He walked over and turned his car on.

Perhaps it was the setting sun casting its glow upon his features that made her realize how handsome he actually was.

"That ought to do it." Go on, try it out." He said as he got out if his car and walked over.

She got in and turned the key and it fired up. "Thanks again, Hades." She reached into the glove box and pulled out a napkin and scribbled her number on it. "Let's do it again sometime."

He smiled. "I'd like that, Zelena." He tucked the note into his pocket as she drove away. She would definitely be hearing from him in the next few days.


Review! Review! Review! It motivates me.

Oh they are fun to write. I feel they are slightly OOC but im not too worried.

Once again I am super sorry for not updating for almost two months! It will not happen again! I will be writing and adding at least 2 soulmate AUs soon.

Did you hear that next season they might bring Robin back, and more importantly Hades!? I did! And it really made my day!

Speaking of Hades, I've wrote a new story called Greek Tragedy it's about Hades' past so check it out!

As for this new Jafar... I feel the actor was great in the season 6 promo, but I really wanted/ was looking forward to watch Naveen Andrews. (he couldn't reprise the role due to his loyalty to sense8 :'( )

Once again, review!
