Archive: Sure, go for it! Just tell me where my errant child's being bundled off to.
Rating: PG to NC-17...whatever strikes my fancy.
Disclaimer: I DON'T own any of the characters. But, I DO lie awake at night plotting on how to rectify that very situation. :)

Now, when one is faced with a woman that is terrified for her child, you would be wise to stay out of her way. If that woman also happens to be a goddess, Zeus help you if you even BREATHE wrong.
Before the energy from her entrance had dissipated, Eris was across the room and at her son's side, frying anyone and everyone that barred her path. Quickly scanning Strife for any injuries, her panic turned into...well...another type of panic and she squeaked.
"PREGNANT?!"
Glancing, frantically around the room, her gaze lit on the trembling God of Healing, much to his horror, and she hurtled herself toward him. Grabbing him by the shoulders, she shook for all that she was worth (which was a lot, apparently, judging by the way he looked afterward) and screamed into his face.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY BABY AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?!"
Suffice it to say, when Ace wet himself, no one could really blame him.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Being witness to Dischord's sobbing was one of the most terrible and heart- breaking events that anyone present could remember. The fact that she allowed Aphrodite to comfort her was only slightly less so. Sounding as if the cries where being torn from the bottom of her soul, her whole body trembled as her soft hearted sister attempted to soothe her somewhat. Occasionally, she would glance over at her son, who was crying as well while wrapped up in the arms of his husband, and start all over again.
The other deities hadn't been able to impart the entire story before Eris broke down and this was the result. However, never able to stand idly by as a lady cried, one of them broke from their immobile silence.
Quietly, Joxer stood and made his way toward the weeping goddess. Laying his hand gently at the small of her back, he rubbed soothing circles as he allowed his godhood to envelope her. Eris, unable to deny the raw power the God of Peace was exerting over her, slowly began to calm as she collapsed backwards into his embrace. Speaking in a whisper, he explained the situation to her completely and their plans to visit Gaia for some answers and guidance.
Straightening herself from Joxer's comforting arms, her whole body trembled as she regained control of her emotions and shook the last of the tears from her eyes.
Drawing up to her full height and letting her power smolder around her, she said in a deathly quiet voice, "Well then, why are we still standing around?" before beginning to bark orders at those assembled.
In unison, everyone jumped to fulfill her wishes. Because, let's face it, when Dischord uses that tone of voice, even Zeus doesn't dare argue.
They were all packed and ready to go in less than five minutes. Even Aphrodite.
