Bruce and Alina leave the restaurant, but Tony hangs back a minute, he touches the bluetooth in his ear.

"JARVIS, did you record that conversation that just happened?"

**Yes, sir, and there was some interesting information in that conversation.**

"Okay, tell me when we get to the Tower."

**Yes, sir.**

The drive seems to take longer than normal, Alina was just dreading having to tell Thor the truth. Don't get her wrong, she had every intention of telling him she's a demigoddess, daughter of Zeus, but not the first day they started dating. But she had no other choice, her father knew and had ordered her to. So she was going to go lie down for a while, build up her courage then go talk to Thor.

When they got to the Tower, Bruce helped Alina out of the car, he gave her a big hug.

"You okay, Munchkin?"

"Yeah, just need to gather my courage first, then I'll go talk to Thor."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

Alina paused for a moment, "Maybe, I'll call you if I do."

With that she kissed Bruce on the cheek and went to their floor. In the meantime Tony had gone ahead and went back to the lab.

"Okay, JARVIS, what information do you have for me?"

**Well, sir some interesting facts about Alina's father and brother.**

"Like what?"

**Like their names, Dion Vasiliá Ton Theón, for instance. The English translation for that is Zeus, King of the gods.**

Tony's mouth fell open, "You're joking."

**No, sir, and his son's name, Enyalius, translate into Ares.**

"As in the god of war?"

**I would assume so, sir.**

"Then what did her dad tell her in Greek?"

**You will tell him that you are a demigoddess this instant! And you will bring him to meet me tonight! Am I understood?!**

Tony shakes his head, "No, that can't be right, check again and make sure."

**Sir, I have checked and translated it 10 times, it is correct.**

Tony sat down on his chair, "Holy shit."

At that moment Bruce walked into the lab.

"Did you know that Alina is a demigoddess?"

"How the hell did you find out?!"

"JARVIS translated their little conversation, so it's true? And did you also know we were sitting with Zeus, king of the gods, and Ares god of fucking War?!"

"Watch how you say that, Tony, Ares could be listening. Though I doubt it, he's probably getting ready to kill Thor."

"WHAT?!"

"Didn't you get JARVIS to translate that last part?"

"Oh no, I forgot. What do you mean kill Thor?"

"Well, Ares told Alina he was going to try not to, but if Zeus tells him to, he will."

"Why?"

"Because you heard what Alina said, Zeus doesn't like Thor. If Thor wants to be with Alina, he needs to prove how much he loves her."

"Wait, what, he loves her? Isn't it too soon?"

"For humans, yes, but for Asgardians, no. Aphrodite told Alina last night that Asgardians fall fast and hard when they meet the right person."

"Wait, Aphrodite, as in the goddess of love, you know her?"

"Yeah, she's a lovely woman. Incredibly beautiful and sexy as hell. She likes to flirt with me, or tries to set me up on dates."

"But wait, I thought Alina was a mutant."

"She is, she's half mutant and half god."

"So, she's like, not human?"

"No, she's not."

"Do you think Thor will survive?"

"Honestly, I don't know, that isn't their normal size, in reality all of the Olymipian gods are giants. And I'm sure Ares isn't going to fight fair, as they say all's fair in love and war. Well, he loves his little sister and this is war." Bruce comments.

"How do you know all this stuff, and why was Zeus so friendly with you?"

"I know all this stuff because I have known Alina since she was 16, Zeus is friendly with me because I have met him before and he likes me enough to let me onto Olympus."

"NO WAY!"

"Yep."

"Well, shit, can I go?"

"Probably not, Zeus has only ever let Logan and me onto Olympus, not even Alina's mom got to go, and I think its because we're not mortal."

"Makes sense, hey, if Zeus doesn't like Thor because he was a womanizer, doesn't that make Zeus a hypocrite?"

"Yes, it does, but the difference is that it's happening to his daughter, his most precious demigod child. He loves Alina above all of his other demigod children before her. From what Athena told me, he's a better 'man' since Alina was born."

"What do you mean?" Tony asked.

"Well, before Alina came along, Zeus didn't care about any of his demigod offspring. He did, in a way, but not enough to be an actual father to them. He acknowledged them as his, but that was it, he didn't have an active role in their lives. He had actually forbidden any god from having an active role in their demigod children's lives."

"No, way."

"Yep, but that all changed when Alina was born. From what Athena told me, he took one look at her and immediately rescinded that law. She said she had never seen her father look at any of his demigod children with so much love, he wanted nothing more than to be with his child."

"So then why was Alina raised by Logan at Xavier's?"

"Athena said that Zeus became so obsessed with Alina, that he worried about her safety constantly. It got to the point where Zeus had Somatofýlakes posted around her and her mother all the time."

"Somatofýlakes?" Tony asked.

"The literal translation is bodyguards, but some of those bodyguards weren't humanoid, Zeus brought his Nemean dragon to guard Alina and her mother."

"Dragon, are you serious?"

"Yep, it got so bad that Zeus ordered Ares to watch over his little sister and her mother 24 hours a day, though Zeus really didn't give a crap about Alina's mother. That's why Ares is so fond of her, he watched over Alina for an entire year."

"What happened after the year?"

"Katherine, Alina's mother, couldn't take it anymore, so she fled. Escaping in the middle of the night, when Ares had to go back to Olympus to report. She was on the run for two years, until Alina came into her mutant powers. Knowing she would never be able to care for a mutant properly, she left her at Xavier's." Bruce tells Tony.

"Why not give her back to Zeus?"

"Because Zeus would have taken her to a santuary for demigods, and once they found out Alina was a mutant, she would be mistreated. And that's exactly what happened, Zeus found her when she was five, and took her to that santuary. The other demigods were jealous of her and tormented her. When they found out she was a mutant they nearly killed her. So he took her back to Logan and Xavier. But he was with her as much as he could."

"So, Zeus is sort of like a helicopter parent." Tony states.

"Yeah, but it's worse when it comes to Alina dating."

"I can see that, after all he's a womanizer, and if Norse mythology is anything to go by, so was Thor. And Alina is so sweet and innocent. If she was my kid I'd probably be the same way, except you know, without the killing. Or maybe not." Tony says mostly to himself.

Bruce gave him a odd look and rolled his eyes, he sat back to his desk and went back to work.
