Thunder shook the mansion. Dahak especially liked thunder storms. He liked to watch the lightning nearly fry most unfortunate puny mortal civilians. Sometimes he even directed it toward them on purpose just for laughs.

"Dis storm don't seem to be lettin up." Gambit mentioned, shuffling his beloved pack of cards back and forth in his hands.

Dahak meerly grunted and floated up through the ceiling to go participate (and enjoy) before mentioned activities.

"Yeah and the backyard is flooding too." Iolaus had his face pressed up against the living room window. There was something bright orange bouncing around in the puddles.

Iolaus squinted to get a better look. He waved Hercules over. "Hey Herc what is that out there?"

Herc leaned in to take a look nearly knocking Iolaus away with his muscle. "It's Harper doing some kind of rain dance."

"Oh yup thats it alright. Thanks Herc, that was bothering me." He stared for a few more seconds then quickly turned away. " Now that I know what it is I don't think i can watch much more of that."

Harper pirouetted like a spring flower in the rain, utterly oblivious to the scrutiny.

Joxer ran out the door to join.

Gambit reached to prevent Joxer from leaving but failed. " No please Mon Ami, Don't exacerbate the situation!"

Too late. Joxer was twirling around with Harper.

Ares was splayed out on the couch eating peanuts. " Don't worry, they'll be back in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1"

*CRASH* *BA-BOOM*

Lighting flashed through the darkening sky, and the already heavy rain turned into an absolute downpour.

Joxer and Harper leaped 6 feet in the air and shrieked in unison. They ran headlong for the saftey of the house.

Joxer tripped and fell in a puddle. Harper somehow got turned around and couldn't tell left from right in the blinding rain. He did the best he could and ran every which way.

All the dudes huddled around the armchair to watch the disarray. They wondered who would make it to the door first. They started making bets.

Then they all scattered because Lara started waving her book around complaining that they were blocking her light and told them all to shove off.

Kurt decided the humane thing to do would be to go outside and get the poor drenched souls. He teleported out and brought them back dripping wet into the living room.

Iolaus II groaned. " I just finished blow drying the carpet!"

Jarem put what he thought was a reassuring hand on Iolaus II's shoulder. " No use crying over spilt coffee."

" It's spilt milk Jarem." Hawkeye corrected.

Jarem stared blankly.

Iolaus II looked around. " Well acually its water. . ."

Hawkeye face palmed.

"We should lock all doors and windows." T'Challa pointed out.

"Oh, Come on T'Challa you really think the storms gonna get that bad?" Hawkeye said.

"Acually I agree with T'Challa, we should also unplug everything." Hank added.

Hawkeye sighed. " You smart people are always on the same side!"

T'Challa looked at him. " Why thank you for the compliment, and since you are not on our side i guess that would make you stupid."

Hawkeye crossed his arms and growled.

Everyone stood there not quite knowing what to do with themselves. Until Ares, still sprawled on the couch started to amuse himself by throwing peanut shells in peoples hair.

"Wow your Flop hair really catches the peanuts well!" Joxer pointed out to Hank.

"My wha-?" he started to reply but was cut off by Hercules.

" Alright everyone, we need to get this hous-" A peanut shell hit him in the face. He cleared his throat. " As I was saying we need to get the house se-" another peanut shell hit him in the eye. He glared at Ares. Ares pretended not to notice.

" Secure, we need to lock the-" Six whole peanuts showered over him. " ARES! now is not the time! in fact there is never gonna be a time!" Hercules charged the couch.

Iolaus whispered to Harper " Wow i hardly ever see him get like this. It must be the peanut dust."

Ares laughed and poofed away before Herc reached him, sending the peanut bowl crashing to the floor. It Shattered sending glass everywhere.

Jarem ran in front of the mess with his hands up blocking it from everyone. " Nobody move! this is glass. This is a Hazard! noone is to move towards it in any manner whatsoever! its sharp! The hand puppets will come out! I repeat the handpuppets WILL come out! They will NOT hesitate to bite you!" He bent and started picking up the glass. The glass cut him immediatly.

"OW." He threw the pieces back down, resumed his stance and reminded them it was sharp. " Noone can touch this what are we gonna do?! well never get it cleaned up and we'll have a hazard here forever! and my handpuppets face is bleeding all over!" A teeny-tiny dot of blood appeared on jarems hand.

Lara got up, sweeped the glass into a dust pan and threw it out. She sat back down and continued her book.

Jarem stared blankley. " Well as i said before, no use crying over spilt tea."

" Its MILK!" hawkeye yelled in frustration.

" Acually it was glass . . ." Iolaus II pointed out.

Hawkeye facepalmed for the second time today.

Hercules began sending pairs to secure the house.

" . . . and Iolaus you have upstairs doody."

"Herc I know someone forgot to flush upstairs, It wasn't me, you know I prefer bushes out-"

"Iolaus. . ."

"What?"

"Duty Iolaus ,not doody."

"Oh . . ." Iolaus ran to go lock some windows.
