There will always be a hierarchy in everything. Nature? There's the food chain. People? There's the government. The Greco-Roman Mythology isn't that much different. There's the king of the gods, Zeus. He is also the god of the skies, and can send you a lightning bolt to smite you.

Of course, what's a king without his queen? That title belongs to Hera, Zeus' wife and the goddess of Marriage, Motherhood, Family and Women. That title is rightfully hers.

The said queen, is now on her garden. She is severely pissed off at what she just learned.

'Zeus cheated on me again.' Thought the woman.

She loved her husband dearly, and would not hesitate to smite anyone who would badmouth the man. It was just that he always gave in to temptations and would bed a woman every few years.

Though she used to hate her husband's children, a certain demigod showed her that they were not to blame. It was Zeus' fault alone.

'Chaos, please give me the restraint to not castrate Zeus!' She thought in anger. Walking around the garden, she stopped by the fountain and looked at her own reflection. 'Am I not enough for him?' She questioned. Her long licorice-black hair; large, soft brown eyes that one could get lost in; and a face of regal and unapproachable beauty like that of a supermodel, and still her husband couldn't stay faithful to her.

Deciding that she needs someone to vent her frustrations with, Hera teleported into the hearth in the middle of the throne room.

Once there, she looked for her older sister, Hestia. If there's someone who she always could talk to, it was her. Finding the goddess of hearth sitting beside her domain, the queen of the gods sat down beside her.

"Having marital problems?" Asked her sister. The queen of the gods smiled to herself. Hestia always know whatever the problem of someone, even before they talk about it. "Is it about Anya? Zeus' newest daughter?"

The newest daughter of Zeus, Anya Melfissa, came into the camp just yesterday. Since the gods have promised to claim their children once they've stepped foot in the camp, every camper that saw her get claimed was shocked.

'Zeus broke the oath again.' Thought many.

"I'm just mad that he cheated on me once again." Hera crossed her arms as she replied to her sister. "Am I not good enough for him? We don't even sleep on the same bed together, yet he goes on and beds another woman that isn't me?"

"What can we say? Your husband is a horny bastard, excuse my language." They both giggled at their inside joke.

"Yeah, he is horny to everyone but me. Is it because he already did me? Is he competing with the other gods of Olympus for the title of the god who've bed the most women?" Answered Hera.

Hestia became silent as she was deep in thought. After a few more seconds, she had her Eureka moment as she smiled and faced her younger sister excitedly. "When the sun goes down later, go to the abandoned warehouse underneath Brooklyn Bridge. Knock on the door and you'll find a place to vent your frustrations with."

"What place?" Questioned the queen of the gods towards her sister.

"His place." Smiled the goddess of the hearth as she vanished, leaving the confused goddess to contemplate her sister's words.


Heeding the words of the goddess of the hearth, Hera went off Olympus. She was on her 18 year old form, as she thought that it's the optimal age when roaming the mortal world.

Her long, black hair fluttered as she walked on Manhattan. She wore a dark green t-shirt underneath a white bomber jacket. Denim blue jeans and golden sandals, the queen of the gods looked practical yet elegant.

Reaching the said abandoned warehouse, Hera knocked on the door.

No one answered.

She tried knocking once more, still the same result. She was getting frustrated as she tried to knock once more.

This time, there was an answer. Though it didn't come from the inside.

"Aunt Hera? What are you doing here?" When she turned to look at the voice, she saw the greatest demigod that Olympus has ever seen.

It was Percy Jackson. Wearing black slacks, and a polo with red, white and green stripes. The son of Poseidon just got home from work.

"Oh, Percy. Hestia told me to come here." Explained the goddess. "I assume this is your place then?" Questioned Hera, to which the demigod just nodded in agreement.

"Come inside, it looks like you have something you want to talk about." Percy offered as he opened the door. Hera smiled at the demigod as she entered his place.

The first thing that Hera noticed was there was a sound that was coming from the deeper end of the room, accompanied by occasional shouts of joy and grunts of anger.

Reaching the center of the room, Percy and the goddess of matrimony was treated to a triumphant Hestia in front a large television. Her fists pumping in the air as she celebrated her victory.

"Finally completed Super Mario 3!" She exclaimed. Hera, who was surprised at the sight of her older sister, was gobsmacked.

Percy laughed at the goddess of hearth. "I see you've beaten that game auntie. Last week you can't even get past the first world." This alerted the said goddess that the owner of the place was already home. Turning around to look at him, Hestia was surprised to see a gobsmacked Hera.

"Oh Hera!" She exclaimed. "You came!" The older sister then ran up to her, enveloping her in a tight hug. "I thought you won't come!"

"Well you said I should come." Hera started explaining. "I was curious about the place so I came." She then questioned her older sister. "What are you doing?"

"I'm playing video games!" Exclaimed Hestia like it's the most obvious thing in the world. "Come, I'll show you what I'm doing!" She dragged Hera towards the couch.

Percy smiled as he watched the sisters do their thing, leaving them as he went and took a bath.


Percy was outside his place. He was staring at the nighttime skyline of the Big Apple, his thoughts racing about a certain daughter of Athena.

'What's wrong with me? Am I not enough for her?' Thought the son of Poseidon. 'Is there something that I lack that she found on Zhang?' Even saying the last name of that man took him great deal not to get disgusted.

"A drachma for your thoughts?" His musings was stopped by someone else. Percy looked to his left to find a smiling Hera.

"I'm thinking about someone." Replied Jackson, turning back to look at the waters.

"Does this have to do with the daughter of Athena?" Seeing the young man flinch, she continued to speak. "Speaking of which, where is she?"

"She's busy..." The son of Poseidon trailed off.

"Busy with what? Something that even her boyfriend doesn't know?"

"Doing Zhang." Finished Percy, throwing the queen of the gods in a loop.

Once she was able to connect the dots, Hera let out an audible "Oh."

"Yeah, that's my reaction when I saw them making out on the banquet held last month." The demigod said to the goddess.

"I'm sorry Percy." This surprised the son of Poseidon, who knows that Hera's pride is too high that it's rare to hear an apology from her.

"It's fine Lady Hera, you didn't know anyway." Replied the teen. The said goddess held his hand, surprising the demigod.

"I understand what you're going through." She sent him a sincere smile. "I would always question myself whenever there's a new demigod that Zeus fathered."

"Is there a new one?"

"Yes." Replied the woman. "Her name is Anya. She arrived yesterday at the camp." She explained to the teen. The goddess evaded the curious stare of the teen. Looking at the skyline when she spoke. "When I saw him claim the girl, the same question always pops up on my head..."

""Am I not enough?"" Surprising each other, the two of them locked eyes, seeing that they both had the same thought. Hera smiled at this. 'Finally, someone who understands what I am going through.' The two of them thought. Silence enveloped the area as the two of them appreciated the company of each other. Two people with the same experience, and bonding over it.

It was Percy who broke the silence first. "Should we head inside, Lady Hera? I think it's getting cold now."

"Just Hera, Percy. Everyone in the Olympus knows that you've earned the respect of each and every god out there." Hera corrected him. "But sure, let's head inside. I'm getting the chills out here."

Entering his place once more, the two saw the place being peaceful. Also, the place lacked the goddess of the hearth, who was screaming in joy earlier.

"Looks like Aunt Hestia got tired of playing." Percy commented. Remembering what she saw earlier, the queen of the gods smiled. "Well that works in favor for what I have in mind." Mentioning for the wife of Zeus to come, Percy told her about the console once she sat beside him.

"So with this, I'll be able to play... Video games?" Asked Hera, who was curious about the controller that she was handed with. "What are we playing then?" The curious goddess asked the demigod.

"Let's play a game where you can vent out your frustrations with." Percy selected the game with the title: "Smitten." "This game is named Smitten." Percy started to explain. "This is a fighting game." At the mention of it, Hera cut off his explanation.

"You know that I don't like fighting right?"

"Regularly yes." Percy answered. "But I know that you're gonna love this." The game then booted up, showing various beings fluttering with power. Once a certain god with lightning powers came up, the wife of the said god was shocked.

"Is that Zeus?" She asked.

"Yes. In this game, gods and goddesses of various pantheons are playable." Percy explained. "There used to be a man on the cross here. They removed him after major backlash from the people, calling the developers heretics." Percy then set up the game. "Here is the selection screen. You choose whoever god you wish to use to fight with."

Hera scrolled through various figures. She saw a whitish, bearded man with dual blades, an Asian looking woman that wields orbs that look like the sun, a feathered serpent being that has green and red scales, and a man wearing a monk's outfit. Once she stopped into a blue skinned woman with six upper appendage. She felt enthralled by the appearance of the deity, and selected her.

"Kali huh? Good pick." Percy said to her. "Now I know who I'm picking." Percy skimmed over the deities until he reached the last, showing the sky god the Hera was all too familiar with. Getting a stink eye look from the goddess, Percy explained his choice. "Thought you'd like to beat him up, for once." Percy locked in on his pick, and then selected Olympus as the place of the battle. Once the game loaded, the son of Poseidon started to explain the movement and combat mechanics to the queen of the gods.

"So, in the controller, there's the d-pad." Percy pointed to the buttons that has the four major directions in. "The left button, assuming that you're on the left side of the screen, allows you to move backwards if pressed once or held in." To demonstrate it, he made Hera press the same button. "See your character moving backward? Pressing the right on the d-pad does the opposite. It moves you forward or closer to your opponent." Hearing his explanation, the queen of the gods pressed the right button once, making her character move forward.

"How about the up and down button?" Percy was surprised to hear the goddess ask about it with such excitement.

"I was getting into that." Percy replied. "Up button, when pressed once, allows you to jump." Pressing the said button, the goddess saw her blue skinned deity jump." Pressing twice in rapid succession allows you character to strafe, pressing up quickly makes you strafe to the left." When Hera did it, the deity she was controlling swiftly strafed left. "Pressing down once allows you to duck, pressing it quickly strafes you to the right this time."

Hera cut off the teen once more. "I get it. How about the fighting?"

Percy laughed at her eagerness. "Someone's excited isn't she?" The said goddess' cheeks got golden. "For fighting The a button, located on the bottom right of the controller, lets you kick with your left foot." Hera's character kicked when she pressed a. "B does the opposite. It uses your right foot to kick."

"I guess x is left punch and y is right then?" The son of Poseidon nodded when she asked the question. Hera, eager to beat the ass of her husband, spoke once more. "So, let's get this started then."

They started to fight shortly after.


Percy Jackson has got to admit, seeing the queen of the gods pouting was a funny sight. Hera, getting prideful for her own good, forgot the she just started playing the said game. After getting the satisfaction of beating the shit out of his husband, excuse the language, She said to the demigod to take her seriously.

Hera, though nigh-omnipotent, forgot one thing:

She is still not a fighter.

So, after getting cocky and saying to Percy that he should step up his game to stop losing, Percy chose the godslayer, Kratos.

Needless to say Hera never won a fight once again after that.

"Thank you Percy. Even though you mopped the floor with me..." He laughed at the goddess, earning him a glare. "It was still a fun night. I hope you don't mind me coming here often?" Asked Hera.

"Sure." He answered quickly. "Like I said to Aunt Hestia, you can come after sun goes down." Percy then saw the determined stare he was given. "But if you're eager to beat me in a fight, then you could come anytime you like. The key's under there." The son of Poseidon pointed towards the welcome mat. "See you soon, Hera."

Hera's answer to him was to embrace him, which made the demigod clam up. Winking at the demigod, the queen of Olympus flashed to her throne.

The two of them didn't notice the reddish black energy near the waters of his place.

When she reached her throne, she debated in her mind if she would ask her son, Hephaestus, about getting a Gamestation X for her own, but though against it.

'Playing at his place is much better, to be honest.' Thought Hera with a smile.


A/N: Who is spying on his place? throw in your guess and I'll PM you if you get the correct answer!

Sup! Jasserru back at it again with a new chapter!

Okay, so looking at reviews, it was obvious that Hera won that by a landslide. So here we are now!

About the fighting game? Well if you still don't know where it is based off, it's just Tekken, but with deities. The name Smitten though came from the game called Smite, a MOBA game that has deities from various pantheons. So I just took the concept and made it into a fighting game!

Also, the new demigod. Well if you guess where she is from, that means you're in the rabbit hole like me then.

Yay! Longer chapter! Hope you guys liked this one! I kinda had a writing spree that makes me write random stuff up, so I just channeled it to writing this chapter.

Who do you think would be the next one to stay at his place? A demigod? Giant? Titaness? Take a guess at the reviews and let's see who gets it correctly. Those who can guess it gets a shoutout on the AN next chapter.

That's all for this chapter's AN! See you next chapter!

Remember to Follow and Fave if you liked it, and leave a review for your thoughts! And as always, thank you for reading!
