Chapter I: Storm of History

Nia Nal was not having a good day.

First, Noonan's messed up her breakfast order. Because of this, she arrived fifteen minutes late to work. During the morning, she forgot to drink her coffee on time so she had to make due with drinking cold coffee. Then she switched up two reports, giving them to the wrong departments.

After finishing giving the right reports to the right departments, Nia finally had a moment to sit at her desk and take a few breaths to calm herself down. She closed her eyes doing so.

'Nia, are you alright? You don't seem like yourself today,' Kara said while walking up to her desk.

'Yes, I'm fine. Just one of those crappy days I guess,' Nia said, putting her forehead on her desk.

Kara looked at her and laughed.

'Well, good thing it is Friday! How about we get the group together and go to Al's? Just blowing off some steam,' Kara offered.

'That depends. Will Brainy be there?'

It was hard for Nia to ask that question. Ever since the Crisis and the whole "Lex Luthor Thing", she found it hard to even look at him. Although he apologized as much as he could, it will be a while before Nia can start to think of forgiving him.

'Brainy know you need time. We all need time to forgive him. He is giving us space so no, Brainy won't be there,' Kare smiled sympathetically.

Nia smiled right back.

'Then prepare yourself to get liver failure because we are going to get slammed!'

~oOo~

'Wow, Nia, you might want to slow down a bit,' James chuckled.

Nia ignored him and finished her third shot. Even though she was only three shots in, she could already feel the alcohol kick in. The tension that she had in her shoulders faded away and she felt like she was seeing the world through pink glasses. She smiled a bit.

'Come on, James! It's Friday, live a little!'

Just then, the door of the bar opened and it was like someone turned up the heat in the room. A woman with bright blonde hair walked in. She was wearing boots, black jeans and an oversized collard shirt that was tucked into hear jeans. But all Nia could focus on were the piercing green eyes. The woman smirked and the tension in the room was broken. Nia glanced around the table and saws that the others were also looking at the woman.

'Who is that?' James asked, his eyes still following the woman as she crossed the room.

The woman walked up to Darla, who was standing behind the bar. They exchanged a few words, ending with Darla smiling and handing over her apron. Darla walked off as the woman put on the apron and started cleaning the bar.

'I haven't seen her before,' Kara said.

'Well, whoever she is, I am sensing some out of this world activity from her brain,' J'onn mentioned.

'I'm going to talk to her,' Kara stood up from her chair and walked over to the bar. She raised her hand to gain the attention of the woman. The woman smirked more as an answer and pulled out two whiskey glasses. As she walked over to Kara, she grabbed a bottle.

'Well, well, well. If it isn't Kara Danvers! How are you?'

Kara looked at her confused.

'How do you know my name?'

'I know everything. I am a god after all,' The woman started to pour some kind of glowing blue liquid into the glasses.

'Excuse me?'

'Aren't you Kara Danvers, the reporter from CatCo that won some unimportant price?' She raised an eyebrow and set on of the glasses in front of Kara.

'Yes, I am. I'm sorry, I just came over to introduce myself and my friends. You see, we like to come here often so it's better you get used to us,' Kara chuckled lightly. 'So, you know my name, might I know yours?'

'I am Hades Lightfyre. But Hades is just fine. Apparently, humans require a last name,' Hades puffed.

'Hades Lightfyre? That is really your name?'

'Yes, I was named after my birth. Hades, I mean. I had a little fun with the last name,' Hades laughed. 'By the way, drink up. It's on me!'

Kara looked at the glass in front of her. 'What is it?'

'Honestly, I have no idea. But it is deadly to humans. So fragile,' Hades took a sip of her own drink. 'But it tastes great.'

'Deadly to humans? How come you are giving one to me?'

'Because I know you are not human.'

Kara looked at Hades in shock. But in an effort of trying to hide it quickly, she laughs awkwardly.

'Me? Not human? Do I look like I'm not human?'

'Okay, first of all I know when someone is lying. Second, I have been on this earth for some time now and I know not all humans who look human, are actually human.'

'You just said human so many times,' A voice next to Kara said.

Alex had just arrived at the bar. She spotted Kara talking to the new bartender and decided to find out who she was. She was immediately drawn to the piercing green eyes of the woman.

'Alex! I'm glad you could make it!' Kara hugged her sister. 'Where is Kelly?'

'She will come in a few minutes. There were a couple of things she needed to finish at work,' Alex explained to Kara and then looked over to Hades. 'Who is this?'

'Alex, this is – '

'Alex Danvers!'

'Yes, how did – '

'So, you are the girlfriend! Kelly likes to talk about you,' Hades smile a bit. 'Wait, both your last names are Danvers, so are you to related in any way?'

Alex just looked back to Kara. 'Who is this?'

'My name is Hades Lightfyre,' Hades smirked again.

'Hades Lightfyre?' Alex scoffed. 'How do you know Kelly?'

'Kelly Olsen in my therapist of course! I know, very cliché but she is helping me a lot. You are very lucky to have her as your life partner.'

'Seriously, just when you think you can't meet anyone weirder than Brainy…' Alex trailed off.

'Girls! Kara, where the hell are those shots?' Nia walked up to them. 'We've been waiting forever!'

Kara glanced at her watch.

'It's only been ten minutes.'

'Yeah, eight minutes too long. Hey, new girl! Quit flirting and get us four more shots!' Nia told Hades. She was slurring her words a little.

'It looks like you have had enough, human.' Hades narrowed her eyes at Nia.

'Hades, what did I tell you about calling people humans?' Kelly suddenly appeared next to Alex.

Alex greeted her with a kiss on her cheek. Kara and Nia send her a smile. Hades looked at Kelly and genuinely smiled at her.

'Yes, I know. But it is so much fun to see their faces when I say it.'

'Hades here said that you are her therapist,' Alex said.

'Hades started seeing me a couple of weeks ago. We get along,' Kelly smiled at Hades.

'You know what human,' Hades turned to Nia. 'You will get your shots, but only because I like Kelly.'

Hades turned around and grabbed four shot glasses. She poured a clear liquid in them and handed them over. Down at the other side of the bar, someone was trying to get Hades' attention.

'What does a guy have to do around here to get a drink?' He said a little too loudly.

Hades groaned.

'Kelly, I can't take much more of this. I am from the underworld but this work is actual torture. You said this would only be temporary.'

'Just hold on a little longer, Hades. The other job will be ready for you next week,' Kelly assured her.

'It better be, before I hurt a human,' Hades stopped. 'Nobody wants that.'

Hades walked over to the guy. The girls grabbed the shots and walked back over to the table.

'Sooooo… interesting patient you got there,' Alex started.

'Yes, I'll admit she is a bit different that I am used to,' Kelly said, sitting down at the table.

'Who is?'

'The new girl. Apparently, Kelly is her therapist.'

'I haven't been able to diagnose Hades with anything specific yet. She is under a delusion that she is the evil god from the underworld, hence the name.'

'Hades?' J'onn looked up. 'As in the god of the underworld, the dead and the riches?'

'Well, that is what she claims. I think we should take it with a grain of salt as for now.'

'Have you ever thought that she could actually be who she claims to be? That this whole time you had someone claiming to be one of the powerful gods as your patient but never thought to get her tested at the Tower?' J'onn looked a bit upset.

'Whenever I have a patient come to me with the claims of being a god, or with superpowers, my first thought isn't the Tower. I need to get to know them better, understand where they are coming from,' Kelly explained a little annoyed. 'Also, there is this thing called doctor-patient confidentiality.'

'Come on guys, you are totally ruining the night. More drinking, less talking!' Nia said, throwing back the fourth shot.

She couldn't help her eyes wandering to Hades for the rest of the night.

~oOo~

The next day, J'onn, Kara and Alex were meeting up in the Tower.

'In Greek mythology, Hades is the brother of Zeus, the king of all Gods,' J'onn started.

'If this really is Hades, then history has it wrong. Hades is a woman,' Alex said.

'After defeating the Titans, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades drew lots for the realms left to rule. Zeus received the sky, Poseidon the seas and Hades the underworld, the unseen realm to which souls of the world go upon leaving the earth. Some myths even say that Hades hated that he – she – got the underworld but had no choice and moved to this new realm.'

'How can we know for sure this is the same Hades? The one from the Greek mythology and not someone – uh – confused?' Kara asked.

'More importantly, if she is who she claims she is, we need to find out what her purpose is on earth. We need to be sure that she is not the evil kind of god that the Greeks made her out to be. Which is why I have asked Hades here for some questions. She is in the elevator as we speak.'

'Wait, J'onn, do you have a plan? For whichever way this can go?'

'Don't worry.'

The sound of the elevator arriving came into the room. The doors opened and Hades stepped out.

'These things are incredibly useful! With just a slight tap on the button and it takes you where you need to go. We need these in the underworld,' Hades said.

'Hades, thank you for coming,' J'onn walked over to shake her hand. 'I am J'onn J'onzz. Welcome to the Tower.'

'J'onn Jonzz. Interesting name. I thought your name was Hank Henshaw?'

'Hank Henshaw is a name I used to hide the fact that I am an alien.'

'Alien? What is an alien?' Hades looked confused.

'Aliens are the species that were not born on planet Earth. They are from planets in the universe.'

'And you look human. See, Kara!' Hades turned to Kara. 'Not everyone who looks human, is. Wow, planets in the universe. Zeus really went full out with the sky. But then again, he went full out with literally anything,' Hades trailed off.

'Hades, I asked you here today for that exact reason. You claim to be Hades, god of the underworld –'

'Not claim. Am.'

'We need evidence to support that. Which is why I have developed a series of tests, to see if you indeed are who you say you are. Kara and Alex will assist me. So, what do you say?'

Hades smirked. Her piercing green eyes flashed gold.

'Bring it on.'
