Epilogue

Summary AU!: Eighteen years ago, the wolf goddess, Lupa, adopted the demititan son of Atlas. Out of the five years, she adopted the clone of Superman. She raised the two as her own, turning them into something more. Something the world needs now more than never.

Atsáli winced slightly at the cheers of joy as he and his brother walked through the streets of Olympus. Nyraids and Nymphs danced, saytirs and harpies played music and minor gods were playing party games.

Viribus cringed as a nymph walked past him, the smell of marajuana burned his bloody nose. The high nymph turned to apologize.

"Oh geez" she laughed, "my bad, dude. Didn't see you the- holy crap!"

The son of Atlas raised an eyebrow as the nymph touched his face.

"Your him!" she screamed as she turned to Atsáli, "and your the other him! Viribus and Atsáli! Wolves of Olympus!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turns towards the two brothers. Some Saytirs and harpies bowed there heads, while nymphs and nyraids screamed in joy and try to make there way towards them.

However, before anyone could do anything, Lupa grabbed both her sons and led them straight to the throne room.

A few minor gods tried to flash beside them to chat, but one look from Lupa made them back away before a word could be uttered.

They enter the throne room to find 14 people twice there size sitting in thrones meant for them. Whatever chatter was going on in the room immediately seized and all eyes were on the wolf family.

They all bow in respect, waiting for whatever comes next.

"Rise, Titan Spawn and Boy Scout" Zeus boomed loudly in a drunk voice, earning laughter and snickers from the immature Olympians.

The two brothers grit there teeth but obeyed the King of Olympus. They looked to see Olympians like Ares, Aphrodite, Hermes and Apollo laughing. Poseidon and Demeter cracked guilty grins while the rest either remained stoic and glare at them or chose not to pay attention.

Specifically, Viribus.

Turning his head slightly, the son of Atlas turned to make eye contact with Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt. Her gray eyes burned hatefully into his. He squirmed slightly and looked at his barefeet.

"ENOUGH!"

Whatever emotion was in the air immediately left the room at Zeus' voice. Hera rolled her eyes and stated, "As much as it pains me to say this..."

'It's not like you do anything else' Atsáli thought to himself as he tuned her out. He felt a presence invade his mind and looked to meet the gaze of the goddess of wisdom.

He could see some amusement in her gray eyes before turning cold once more. He raised an eyebrow at the goddess, meanwhile Aphrodite giggled uncontrollably in her seat.

Atsáli turned back to the Queen of the Gods to see her glaring at them both icily, as if expecting them to say something. Viribus noticed that his brother zoned out and decided to respond to her.

"I apologize about our...current wear" Viribus spoke. The queen graced them both with a single praise, about surviving the Darkseid War. But then called them idiots for thinking they stood a chance of defeating Darkseid and appearing before them in rags and tattered clothing.

And not to mention the blood they're getting on the floor.

"But we knew meeting the Olympian council w-was top priority" Viribus said, "so we came as quick as we could"

"...Apollo, ambrosia and nectar immediately" Athena spoke up, surprising everyone, "Aphrodite, make the dogs look presentable"

Apollo appeared before them and gave them a canister of nectar and two small ambrosia cubes. They both took the ambrosia, making their bruises disappear. And each sip of nectar closed up the bigger cuts and burns.

The goddess of love clapped her hands and instantly, they were dressed in grey slacks, black long sleeves and black boots. Even their hair was combed back

"That's better" Hera says, "now then, as you know, we are kind deities. We're merciful for letting you both stay alive...but our sister has convince us that an act like this...shouldn't go unrewarded"

The two brothers look at each other in shock before turning back to Hera "Which is why we will grant you one wish, and only one that is reasonable. You may talk about it amongst yourselves. You have two minutes"

Viribus and Atsáli begin to have a silent conversation with there faces, going back and forth.

Demeter whispers to Athena, "What are they saying?"

"...Lyrics" she answered, confusing her aunt, "they're reciting different songs in there mind and finishing each others verses. A secret message"

"Can you decipher it?"

"There's no point, it keeps changing constantly from genre to language to even rhythm. Those two act more like twins than Artemis and Apollo" Athena responded, almost sounding pleased.

But before Demeter could dig out anymore information, Viribus cleared his throat.

"We have decided our wish, Your Majesty"

"The mortals were affected by this war in more ways than one" Atsáli followed up, "their cities homes were reduced to ash and rubble. Innocent lives were lost and traumatized"

Ares scoffs, "It's called war, mutts"

"And because this world is full of greedy, dishonorable people..." Viribus continues, ignoring Ares and keeping eye contact with the queen, "we were hoping that the gods would rebuild destroyed homes..."

"There's casualties" Ares shouts. He was getting angry for being ignored.

"Help people rest easy at night. Help them recover from this night"

"Please!" Ares screamed, "if anything, this'll toughen the mortals up. Have them run around, dressing like those costumed freaks"

"Help the children sleep easier at night!" Viribus raised his voice while glaring at Ares. All eyes were on them now. The tension was steadily rising, making everyone wonder if a fight would break out.

"If your going to do this for anyone" Viribus says hoarsely, "do it for the children. Give them a better tomorrow...that's my wish. That's our wish"

Zeus' brain had sobered down enough to see Viribus' eyes clearly. His body was exhausted, and there was this longing look in his eyes. But there was something different about this look.

There was this...spark, but he could tell it wasn't for a physical fight. It was a fight for something more. He looked to his older brother, Hades, who simply shrugged.

The king was about to say something when something caught his eye. Right beside Hades throne, was a small foldable chair. It was used for his demigod whenever there was a solstice meeting or a war meeting.

He and Hades were closer than his own children. One despised him with a passion, and that made things irritating. How is it that the most powerful family in the universe was so dysfunctional?

.

.

.

'War' Zeus realized, but he didn't show it. If this is how his family acted after a war, the mortals would kill each other.

.

.

.

All this thinking is hurting his drunken brain. What were these mutts talking about?

"...Alright, fine" Zeus said, waving his hand drunkenly. The council room looked at the god of thunder in shock.

Some were a little scared. Even Viribus is questioning if he pushed his luck.

"Father, it's war" Ares exclaims in disbelief, "you can't revive everyone. Not unless your Xixophis and cheat Death"

"Don't annoy me, boy" Zeus growls, "were not bringing anyone back. What's a couple of buildings and dreamless nights?"

Viribus and Atsáli had a genuine look of joy on there face. Lupa saw her boys lose focus for a second and clears her throat.

"My king" Lupa began in a soft, almost luring voice, "you must be sooo exhausted from...granting such gifts. Maybe you should rest and let me work out the details"

"Ok, mommy" Zeus giggled drunkily, making Hera look at him in disgust. She grabs him by his beard and flashed away after saying, "Meeting adjourned"

Most of the gods left in a flash, but Ares appeared in front of Viribus with angry red eyes.

"You got lucky weaseling out of that one, Titan Spawn" Ares snarls, "but don't ignore me when I talk to you"

Atsáli growls and is by his brother's side instantly. Lupa knew she had to stop them. Their bodies were acting on instinct at this point, and both were exhausted. To fight Ares in this current state, anything can go.

"If I may, brother" Athena surprisingly intervened, stepping between the two, "but I believe Aphrodite is asking Hephestaus to build a special chamber in her palace"

"Really now?" Ares asked, smirking slightly.

"Ah yes" Athena confirmed with a nod, "its funny how she's asking him, instead of me or my daughter"

The god of war's mood immediately changed. He turned his head towards his wife and brother to see them talking.

Laughing.

"Perhaps they've had to much to drink" Athena suggested, "or maybe the love they had hasn't died completely"

Ares blows steam out his nose like a bull and marches over to the two. The two brothers calmed down and watched as Ares argued with his family, amused.

"We thank you for that, Lady Athena" Lupa says as she bows in respect, "my boys have the unknown ability to attract a challenge"

"It's quite alright, Mother Lupa" Athena says with a small smile, "they both earned my respect tonight. Even you, son of Atlas"

Viribus blinked in surprise. He never expected any Olympian to respect him.

"Thank you, Milady" Viribus bows, "I'm glad to be worthy"

"Now then, Lupa. I'm in need of assistance" Athena says, "I'm designing new armor for my daughter's idiot fiance. Your son, Atsáli and Jackson are the same height and build. May I borrow him for a few hours?"

Atsáli's eyes shot open. He looks to his brother or support, he didn't want to be a model. He just wanted to sleep, the look Superman gave him was still burned in his mind.

"By all means, My Lady" Lupa says, "just have him back by noon, please? He'll need to pay off the second half of his second punishment"

'Second half?' The two thought in horror. Athena places a hand on Atsáli's shoulder and teleports away. Viribus turns to his mother and says, "But Atsáli's slightly shorter. If anything, I'm more qualified for..."

Viribus' sentence dies down after seeing the smug grin on Lupa's face. He blinks in confusion before his widened in realization"

"Oh"

"Uh huh"

"Wow...good for him" Viribus says, looking at the floor as he rubs the back of his neck, "And my punishment?"

Lupa smirks viciously, "I heard your sister is back in the states. Your punishment is to pay them a visit"

"That doesn't sound too ba- wait, them? Oh Styx, please mother"

"You shouldn't have disobeyed me" Lupa said as she walked away, "you know where she's staying at. Atsáli will pick you up when he's done with his task"

Viribus shakes his head with a sigh, "Well, at least Atsáli's punishment isn't so bad"

Atsáli grunts as he was slammed into a wall inside of Athena's bed chambers, but was then silenced by the blonde goddesses lips.

Atsáli broke the kiss after a minute, panting slightly. He was struggling to hold back his instincts. The battle had taken quite alot out of him, physically and emotionally.

If he hadn't relied on his instincts for, he and his brother probably wouldn't be here right now. He'd probably still be wallowing on the ground about his daddy issues.

"I can tell you're holding back" Athena pants, "if you don't want to do this, I will completely understand"

"Isn't this against the laws?" Atsáli whispers huskily in her ear as he leans into her neck.

Her flesh was calling to him, but he forced himself not to bite.

"You're just going to have to remember to pull out" Athena says as she forced him to look into her eyes, "now warrior...claim me"

Atsáli hesitated but gage in to his primal instincts. Athena giggled as she was carried to her bed.
