Spike had been walking for at least an hour when he heard the sound of feet approaching.
He turned around to see Hermes running over to him.
"Hey,"
"Hey,"
"Dad wants to see you,"
"Ok where?"
"The hall, here I'll show you the way," Spike followed Hermes back to the hall he had first appeared in, Zeus was standing in the middle of it with the trident.
"Okay so what am I doing here?"
Zeus walked toward Spike handing him the trident. "Learning, Thankyou Hermes you may leave." No sooner had he said that then Hermes was out the door shutting it behind him. "Now Jess are you ready to start?"
"Now William all want you to do is try to force some of your power through the trident."
"Okay," Spike felt very unsure about this, he had never tried anything like it before.
"Now aim it at the wall just to be safe."
Spike turned towards the wall, and raised the trident until it was about shoulder height, concentrating on the power inside of him he managed to direct it towards and down his arm.
And the end of the tridents centre point and a small fireball formed, it flew into the wall but seemed to vanish when it got there, only leaving a slight black mark where it had hit.
"Excellent, now though that was the basic skill you will have to learn the more complex movements."
Spike spent the next 5 hours training. Zeus thought him to make walls of fire, flame throwers, as well as fore balls over 1 meter in diameter.

Buffy walked up the street to Wolfram and Hart, she had wanted to catch Giles in the morning but he had left with Wesley before she woke up. As she walked in she saw Fred across the foyer.
"Hey Fred,"
"Oh, morning, what brings you here?"
"I was looking for Giles, have you seen him?"
"Oh yes, he's talking to Wesley," turning around she pointed at a lift across the room. "Just take the lift up to the third floor, it's the door at the end of the corridor."
"Thanks."
Following Fred's directions Buffy found herself in front of a black door, she tapped lightly before opening it slightly and peeking inside. She saw Wesley and Giles having what appeared to be a very important discussion.
"Hey guys, hope I'm not interrupting anything."
The two men turned around in slight shock that they had been interrupted. "No Buffy we were just have a chat," Giles said "anything you particularly wanted?"
"Yeah, Giles I need to talk to you, alone, it's kind of important."
"Of course, Wesley I don't suppose there is an office we could use."
"You can use this one," Wesley stood up gathering some papers, "I need to talk to Angel." Wesley quickly left the room, and Buffy shut the door behind him.
"So Buffy, what is it?"
Buffy walked over and sat in the chair next to Giles, contemplating what she was about to say next. "Last night, when I was sitting outside, I saw Spike."
Giles stared at her in amazement for a moment before saying. "Now Buffy I understand you may think you saw Spike, but it was probably just your imagination."
"No Giles, I touched him, could feel his presence, he was definitely there."
"Buffy, it was probably just a dream."
"It's to clear to be a dream, unless it was a slayer dream, but it didn't seem like one of those."
Sighing deeply Giles looked closely at the young woman beside him. He knew her relationship with the vampire was greater then it should have been, and he knew his death had affected her but he didn't realise it was this bad. "What happened?"
"Well I was standing in the garden when I heard a twig snap, I turned around and it was just standing there. He told me that he had been made a god and now lived in Olympus. He said that Zeus and Hera had sent him, I think it was just a hello. But Giles, I swear it was real."
Giles sat quietly for a while, if it really had been a slayer dream it was a very strange one, usually they came with a message of some sort, a warning. Then again if it wasn't a dream, that would mean they had thought someone like Spike was worthy to be a god, that he couldn't believe. Absently Giles started cleaning his glasses. Buffy's voice pulled him out of his daze.
"Giles? You still in there, cause I could really use some answers."
"Yes, Yes Buffy I'm still here. It doesn't sound like a dream, but it does seem a bit far fetched to be real, I would have thought they already had a straight circle of gods."
"They can die, the Ares before him was killed."
"He was made Ares?"
"Yup, we don't have to look this up do we?"
"Well it would probably be a good idea, I mean, it's not everyday that a vampire is turned into a god after death."
"Okay fine, are there books here we can use, cause all of our stuff was blown up."
"Yes, I'm sure there will be books."
They sat in silence for a while thinking about what they were going to do.
Eventually Buffy broke the silence, "alright I'll call the hyperion and invite everyone over for some research."
"I'll find Wesley, give him his office back,"
"So what were you and Wes talking about before I interrupted."
"I'll tell you later."
Nodding slightly Buffy went of to find a receptionist.

"Sprick wait up!"
Spike turned around to see Jess jogging up to him.
"Can't you just call me Spike like everyone else?"
"Fine, Spike it is," Jess rolled her eyes as she caught up to him, "So what are you up to."
"Not much, what do you people do for fun around here."
"Mess with mortals usually," at spikes raised eyebrow she added, "Well you know since we don't eat or anything we have to have someway of keeping ourselves amused."
"We don't have to eat?"
"Well no, you do realize that you've been here for four days and haven't eaten a thing."
"I didn't notice until now."
"Yeah it's like that. Come with me, Zeus wants me to take you through your rounds."
"My rounds?" Spike turned to follow Jess towards the common building.
"Well yes it's not all fun and games you know, mind you I have to say you probably have one of the more boring jobs."
"Ok," Spike followed Jess into the same room he had been the other night when Hera sent him down to earth to talk to Buffy. "So what exactly do I have to do."
"You have to go down to hell and make sure that all the prisoners are being properly tortured."
"I have to make sure they get tortured, how do I do that."
"Well I'll teach you properly in a minute, but you pretty much have to teleport yourself into the dimension. You can use the trident to do a general sweep of the area it takes the pain level of everyone in that dimension, if a prisoner isn't being tortured properly you report to Zeus and talk to the supervisor of the dimension. Then you go to the next dimension and start again."
Spike took a moment trying to digest all of this responding. "But how do I report to Zeus, do I have to call Hermes, cause that would just be annoying."
Jess laughed lightly "No you don't have to do that, okay I'm going to teach you how to disattach your shadow."
"Disattach my shadow?"
"Yeah that way your shadow can just teleport up here and tell Zeus the news. Ready to go?" at Spikes small nod she took a deep breath. "Okay it's just like you did with the trident you put a glimmer of energy in through your feet it will seep into your shadow. I should probably tell you now that as soon as you do this you'll never have to do it again. Shadows tend to like to stay close to their owners so it seems normal, but just so you know, it can walk away whenever it wants. Okay go."
Spike nodded slowly then just as he had with the trident he placed some energy through his feet into the shadow. The shadow disappeared. "Is that normal?" he asked looking towards Jess.
"Perfectly, it'll come back in a while after it gets bored."
"Okay then, you said something about scanning the area, and teleporting for that matter."
"I'll go through the basics of teleporting first, then you can grab your trident and I'll show you to scan, also Hera told me to give you low down on mind reading."
Spike and Jess spent the rest of the day going through teleporting and some of Spikes less major powers, by the end of the day Spike was an expert at using his trident.
Some of the powers I'm giving Spike are actually from Cole in charmed.
