Rayne's POV

"Ew this smells god awful" I growled pushing away my lunch. Alduin snorted in amusement and offered me his extra sandwich and I thanked him before taking it. The male dragon shifter then made a waving gesture and I turned to see Hercules coming towards us.

"Hey guys this food smells awful" Herc greeted but before he could sit down someone accidentally bumped into him spilling his lunch onto his chiton.

"That wasn't very" Hercules began but froze when he saw it was a girl who was the culprit of his lunch being spilt on him. She was pretty for a human, she had dark orange hair that was held back by a purple headband. Her dress was a dark green which looked good with her complexion. "Nice"

Alduin chucked and I smacked him on the head. I wore my favorite black dress with the blue buttons on the dress straps and a matching sash. My sandals matched my dress and my hair hung loose. My engagement ring was around a silver chain which hung from my neck. I managed to persuade anybody who asked it was an heirloom from my mother.

"I'm so sorry" the girl apologized and took out a rag and started to clean Hercules up. "I'm new here, my name is Andromeda"

"That's a pretty name" Hercules replied taking the rag and continued cleaning himself up. "I'm Hercules, and that's Alduin and Rayne"

Alduin waved hello while I gave Andromeda a smile. He made some room so Andromeda could sit down and he did the same a second after. Suddenly Icarus came out of nowhere and he was excited about something.

"The Miklos convention is tonight which explains why he's excited" Persephone said to me and Alduin.

"You going?" I asked.

"Yep I never been to a convention before so it should be interesting" she replied. She then introduced herself to Andromeda while Icarus continued with his rambling. I actually went to a few conventions back in my world and they were cool events. So I understood Icarus being so happy. Eventually Persephone had to drag Icarus away so he wouldn't embarrass himself.

"I see Icarus is all happy and what not" Cassandra stated coming over. She gave Alduin a kiss on the cheek.

"Andromeda this is Cassandra and Alduin's girlfriend" Hercules said.

"Hi I'm new" Andromeda answered shyly.

"Enjoy it this place can get boring fast" Cassandra joked. After she finished her lunch Andromeda told us she would see us around before leaving the table. Hercules looked love sick and Alduin teased him. Again I smacked my best friend hard on the head.

"I really don't want to go a comic scroll convention" Hercules whined.

"Ah you like the new girl" Cassandra teased him. "And if you go you're afraid of being laughed at by Andromeda"

"Uh yeah that's the point" Hercules pointed out.

"Just tell him you already made plans" Cassandra suggested.

"But I already said I would go and I would be lying if I said I had other things to do"

"A little lie doesn't hurt dude" Alduin told Hercules.

"Sorry you two but heroes don't lie" Hercules rejected the idea and folded his arms across his chest.

Later.

"Alright, alright boys c'mon report time" Hades said to Pain and Panic. My fiancée sat at his usual spot at the table while I sat next to him. "You've been on new disease duty for a month already, what do you got to show for it c'mon let's see it c'mon"

Pain and Panic had been hiding with only there faces poking over the table edge afraid they would get burned by Hades. Sighing Panic climbed onto the table first with Panic following.

"I got a rash like you would not believe" Pain said and he turned around.

"Hey too much information Pain!" I protested covering my eyes.

"Oh my goodness is that so? Why don't you step on up and" Hades conjured an orange flame above in his right hand. "I'll scratch it!"

"Uh I'll stick to the ointment" Pain replied nervously.

"Enough chatting alright? Enough fun, let see the disease" Hades ordered extinguishing his flame. "You now what I'm saying?"

The imps nodded as the table turned orange and flames lit up the edges. Panic began to talk like an announcer and I already started to laugh. I laughed even harder as Pain turned into a model to show off the disease Panic was describing. Pain started to cough and Hades was starting to get bored.

"Ah! Back of rodents!" Pain shouted as a bunch of gophers surrounded him. I continued to laugh and Hades conjured some water for me while he said.

"Uh huh" unimpressed.

Pain resumed his usual form and bubbles began to form around him and Panic was about to go on to the next disease when Hades finally blew up.

"ENOUGH!" my mate yelled sending flames at Panic. My beloved was his usual hot orange when he got angry and I tried hard to stop laughing but it couldn't be helped since I lived with the most hilarious Disney villain to date and his two minions.

"Hey at least Rayne finds us funny!" Pain fussed. Uh oh. That was the wrong thing to say to my fiancée and I decided to high tail it. It was a good thing I did because the second I left the room, Hades blew it up.

I shook my head and decided to go outside to the rock like balcony that overlooked Thebes.

"There you are babe" I turned to see Hades walking over to me. "Sorry about that blow up back there"

"Your lucky I like it when you flare up Hothead" I told my mate.

"Hey its what I do best, anyway you alright now that you had your laughing fit?" the Lord of the Dead asked.

"Yeah I'm good, you and the imps are always hilarious"

"Aww aren't you sweet babe" Hades teased before he bent down so he and I could share a quick kiss. During the kiss I sensed something my beloved was hiding through our mate bond.

"Okay what's in that perverted mind of yours mate?" I demanded after we finished our lip lock.

"Well" Hades began. "I was just thinking well, you had the right curves"

To prove his point Hades slid his hands my body and I immediately felt my face turn red.

"Hold on you mean?"

"Calm down Rayne, I'm not implying we make love right now, but I eventually do want to"

"No you're fine I just wasn't expecting that answer" I replied still surprised. I was a virgin and the two of us had been together for awhile. He was my true mate and in the near future my husband. Sensing my uneasiness Hades cupped my chin and made me look at him.

"I will wait for however long you want to babe, I love you, and I want you to be the one to make the call whenever you want to consummate our relationship"

"Are you sure your not romantic? Because your totally are being that right now" I teased Hades poking his forehead.

"Only around my Firebird" Hades teased again.

"You left out I'm half dragon too" I corrected.

"That too" Hades agreed.

Later.

At Convention.

"You know this isn't that bad" I told Hercules as he and I entered the convention.

"Easier said than done Rayne" Hercules groaned. A second later Hercules rubbed a good sized welt on the top of his head.

"Herc! Rayne! You guys made it!" Icarus exclaimed rushing over to us. He and Persephone were dressed up in Miklos attire. Icarus gave Herc and I decorative hats before roaming around the event. Hercules practically hid his face while I didn't. Nearby Adonis made fun of us and I shot him a death look which immediately shut him and his friends up.

Hercules suddenly froze when he saw Andromeda. I shot him a knock-it-off look while the raffle nearby was about to start. One lucky person would get their picture engraved with Miklos. The guy in the Miklos costume had stage fright and I guess he was getting paid pretty well for this event. The raffle announcer drew out the winning raffle number and Hercules turned out to be the winner. Icarus squealed out in excitement and he began to push poor Herc towards the stage.

"Looks like Hercules isn't having a good time" Persephone pointed out.

"You don't know the half of it" I agreed.

Hercules eventually hid behind Icarus completely embarrassed. He then called out he had Catastrophia before high tailing it.

"Herc you idiot" I growled face palming.

Underworld

"Still no shows love?" I asked Hades entering the throne room.

"Ditto squat babe" Hades muttered. He noticed the hate I wore. "Nice hat"

"I'll let Pain or Panic have it, I wanted to check out that convention earlier"

"I never been a Miklos fan" my mate said.

"There are a lot of conventions back in my domain" I explained to Hades as I got behind him and began to massage his shoulders. "Their pretty cool events where you can dress up as a favorite character from a book, TV show, video game, etc."

"That would be interesting to see" Hades said. "Oh gods babe that feels good"

The whole throne room was decorated for the new arrivals that died from Pain and Panic's new diseases. Hades even had name tags for crying out loud.

"Damn what the hell's is going on?" Hades asked rhetorically.

Suddenly the welcome bell rang and Hades was on his feet.

"Welcome! Grab a name tag and I'll show you to your suffer pit!"

"Love it's just Pain and Panic" I told Hades as he looked around for a new arrival.

"Damn" Hades growled just as Pain and Panic appeared.

"Great news your Crustiness!" Pain began.

"Nice good but first let me ask you this first however"

Hades then turned orange and flames surrounded him.

"WHERE IS EVERYBODY?!"

Watch it Hothead I told Hades in disapproval through our mate bond.

"Diseases take time" Panic answered with a wave of his hand. "But get this Hercules has Catastrophia!"

"Go on" Hades encouraged sounding pleased. I tuned out the rest of the conversation because it was boring. Well until Hades sent flames at the imps and they both got scorched. It wasn't long until Pain and Panic bailed before I folded my arms across my chest in disapproval.

"Uh oh" Hades said realizing I wasn't happy. The next thing that happened my fiancée got scorched thanks to my phoenix fire. His whole body was covered soot and ash, plus he was also bald.

"Oops?" Hades said nervously.

Next Day.

Since Pain and Panic were probably going to need help I took my phoenix form and flew to Briares's home. Upon arrival Icarus was on the ground with Briares standing over him. Hercules arrived on Pegasus and since Pain and Panic weren't here yet I would intervene if necessary. I watched Hercules and Icarus exchange dialogue below well until Icarus and Pegasus were grabbed by one of Briares's many hands. I would have landed to perch on something but I didn't need my tail feathers being yanked out.

Hercules was grabbed by another hand made out of stone and Herc broken it thanks to his strength. Briares was impressed but summoned another hand which formed into a fist. The stone fist hit Herc and he fell to the ground. Hercules got back to his feet and ran for it while dodging many of Briares's hands. The Hero In-training made it to the cliff side and began to climb. But Herc was ambushed by another hand and knocked off. Just as Herc was able to grab hold onto a rock ledge his feet were grabbed by more stone hands.

Pain and Panic chose that moment to arrive. They landed above Hercules and began to kick at his hands. I used that as a distraction to try and get the berry bush from the spring. Well I would have had I not seen the imps being tossed into the air and I flew after them. I was able to seize them safely into my talons.

"Thanks Rayne!" Pain exclaimed.

Suddenly I screeched as I felt a stone hand wrap itself around my body. Pain and Panic were taken out of my claws and held into two other stone hands. The hand holding me was firm enough to hold me in place but not to kill me.

Hercules managed to pull himself up after breaking the stone hands that had his legs. He began to climb the wall more and Briares conjured more hands. Hercules used his sword to slice them away. He then continued climbing until he reached the cliff top. Once on top he dodged more hands, heck he even dodged a water fist. He made a leaping jump and grabbed the berry bush which was the cure for Catastrophia.

I did a feather face palm while another stone hand grabbed the bush trying to get it taken from Herc. Hercules was tossed over the cliff and was caught by Briares. Things wouldn't have turned out well if Icarus hadn't mentioned Miklos.

I forgot that Briares was another fan. Soon the giant and Icarus were having a fan moment together which was a nice way to end things and Hercules finally told the truth to Icarus he never had Catastrophia. The stone hand that once held me broke and the same was for Pain and Panic. I quickly grabbed the two imps into my talons and I made my get away.

Underworld

"Oi anther plan ruined by Hercules" Hades moaned before slamming his head on the table. I didn't say anything and went on to massage my beloved's shoulders.

"Damn you're muscles are tight" I told my mate.

"Blame the stress babe" Hades replied lifting his head up from the table. An idea came to my mind and I smirked.

"Perhaps I can help you distress Hothead?" I asked Hades in a seductive tone. Hades had my full attention now.

"Wait a minute? Rayne are you asking what I think you're asking?"

To help answer his question I sat myself down in his lap.

"I want you to make love to me" I whispered in his pointed ear. Immediately Hades smirked evilly before suddenly scooping me into his arms. He did his disappearing act from the throne room into our bedroom.

"I've been waiting for this for a long time babe" Hades said back to me in a husky voice. He then placed my onto my feet and suddenly conjured a vial.

"Contraceptive?" I asked taking the flask.

"Yep I'm not exactly ready to have kids and I'm sure you want wait till you get older" Hades answered.

"Do you want children?" I asked suddenly.

"Only with you Rayne and I want only one child, if that's okay I don't think I can handle my patience with any more than that" Hades told me honestly. I nodded in agreement before I downed the contents of the contraceptive. It didn't taste bad thankfully and after I finished it, Hades sent it away before chuckling darkly. He picked me up once more and set me on the edge of the bed. He snapped his fingers and the room became darker and soon candles lit the room up. I was currently in a sitting position and Hades looked to the bottom of dress and then looked to me.

I nodded and he first undid my sandals and pushed them aside before hiking my dress and stopped after the fabric came to my lower thigh area. Hades got to his knees and grasped my right leg and he began to kiss any bit of bare skin he could have access to. A growl emitted from my throat in pleasure.

"Oh I'm just getting started babe" Hades teased before I felt his tongue trace patterns on my thigh. I jumped in surprise and Hades chuckled. He eventually finished with my right thigh before doing the same technique on my left. He then pulled the dress skirt down.

"Babe you might want to back up a little" my mate warned. I did as he asked and once my back was on the bed Hades suddenly appeared right above me. He was now shirtless from the waist up and I eyed his muscles hungrily. I tried to make a move but Hades beat me to it.

"I'll let you have your turn with me shortly babe" he reassured me. He then began to lower the straps of my dress down and they came to a stop at my upper arms. I was then in my mate's lap and Hades started kissing and licking the area where his mating mark was on me. Again I moaned and I felt my claws come out.

I latched them onto my his arms and was careful not to scratch him. I jumped again when I felt one of Hades' hands slide underneath my dress and rub my leg up and down.

Knock it off with the teasing

Deal with it babe I plan on rocking your world

Pervert

You love me anyway

Hades gave the right side of my neck the same treatment but now I had bite marks from his fangs. Hades then changed our body positions and I now was on top of him. I flashed him my own evil smirk before I started licking and kissing the left side of his throat. Hades shuddered beneath me and I knew I had him in my control. When I went to the ride side of his throat I added bites.

"Damn babe you sure can bite hard" my mate told me.

Pleased to hear that I went onto my next task. I kissed every part of my mate's chest before seizing his lips against mine. Our lips moved in perfect synchronization and Hades submitted to me when my tongue collided with his.

"Wow" Hades muttered after our intense lip lock.

"Shall we continue?" I asked teasingly.

My answer was Hades suddenly snapping his fingers and I was beneath him once more. Hades used his arms to place me into a sitting position and he snapped his fingers again. My dress was now gone and I was completely bare for Hades to see. Hell even my underwear was gone. I felt my face turn red and I looked away. Hades placed a hand onto my cheek and made me look into his golden eyes.

"You're beautiful, every part of you Rayne"

He then drew me so my body was pressed against his. Hades kissed the tops of my breasts before lowering me onto my back. He intertwined his right hand into mine and he kissed me before our union. It was slightly painful at first and a few tears slid down my face but Hades kissed them away before taking my lips into his.

Soon pain became pleasure and I became lost in the thrill of our love making. Hades was gentle since it was my first time. Eventually the two of us became worn out from one hell of an event.

"You okay babe?" Hades asked in concern.

"Yeah" I reassured the Lord of the Dead turning to him. "I'll be sore though tomorrow"

"Probably if you come up with any pain let me know"

"I will love" I reassured him.

"That's my girl now come here"

His arms became smoke like and drew me closer to him. He then drew the closer to us. Hades kissed my forehead and it wasn't long till we both feel asleep.
