By The Gods!

Part 4

Disclaimer: That's right, folks! After a long wait, this fourth part is here! A character seen here near the end is from the comics but will be my take on her and is Assassin's Creed: Odyssey inspired. And gotcha, Liza! I'll try and do an update soon but if you're wanting an actual full on story that may be awhile as I'm focused on other things.

Summary: Oliver and friends try and wrap their heads around the whole Godhood concept.

Hour and a Half Later

"So… You're telling me that Gods like the Greek Gods actually exist?" Questioned John Diggle in disbelief for what was the literal 10th time.

Which had prompted the repeated explanation being given that yes, yes they do in fact exist. But poor Diggle just had a seriously hard time coming to grips with the whole thing. Though it was understandably worse for Oliver. Who even with having things be repeatedly told, had trouble accepting it. Mostly on account of the fact that he was highly suspicious and paranoid over the whole thing. Sin thought the whole thing was freaking cool while Roy continued to wonder what the Hell a freaking Demi-Goddess Princess even wanted anything to do with him. Prompting him to ask that very question to Thea and for her to take him off to somewhere more private for a serious conversation between the two of them. This hadn't necessarily helped with Oliver's suspiciousness and paranoia while Laurel was on the fence about it all.

Felicity was of two minds about being able to accept it and not accept it thanks to her love for Sci-Fi but also because of her Technical knowledge and the like. "So… How accurate was that Kevin Sorbo show then?"

This got her looks, one being amusement from Robert. "Yes, Soldier, we, along with the other Pantheons exist. Just we don't interfere a lot these days. And Felicity, considering my son and Kevin Sorbo are the same man, its accurate to a certain point." He informed the two and making Felicity gape in shock.

"But I wouldn't go around advertising either of those facts however. No need to cause potential problems and all."

Sin nodded. "Right, that's totally understandable, man. Someone might think we're nuts or worse, be some weirdo cultist who actually believes."

Robert smiled at her. "That's correct, young lady."

"I still don't buy this. For all I know, this is some trick to lull us into a false sense of security where you're concerned." Grumbled Oliver darkly.

His father shot him a saddened look and realized his wife and Thea were both right in that he was going to be damned difficult in getting to believe anything he was told. "The idea of Ollie being a God is honestly scary. Especially before the island." Muttered Laurel with a slight shudder.

Earning her a glare from Oliver. "What!? Its true!"

"I strongly doubt it. And that's why I want all of you except for this man to leave so I can have a word with him in private."

"And by private, you probably mean something else, right?" Felicity asked of him knowingly and gaining an irritated look in return.

"Right, that tells me all I need to know!"

And with that, Felicity made her leave and the others were quick to follow. Albeit, Laurel was a little reluctant at first but did leave. Leaving the two men alone as Oliver wanted and for Oliver himself to stare intensely at the man who has his father's face. Robert just stared back with a sad look on his face, hating that he had effectively damned his son when he made his last request before shooting himself. "For what its worth, son, I'm sorry for putting my burdens on you." Robert told him regretfully.

This however spurred Oliver to charge at him with a yell and a punch.

Meanwhile, Somewhere In Greece!

Moira 'Hera' Queen materialized into the bedroom of a three room house belonging to a family with a centuries old blood connection to King Leonidas himself. "Who are you!?" Shouted a young female voice in alarm as she shot up out of her bed, tears down her cheeks and red eyes noticeable.

"I mean you no harm, my child, I promise." Moira told her in a friendly way with a sad look in her eyes as she knew why the 18 year old had been crying.

"You'll have to excuse me if I don't believe you since you just appeared out of thin air!"

"Hmm… I suppose you have a point there." Replied Moira as she reasoned she too would have felt the same once upon a time!

"But I've come to you with a proposal, Helena Kosmatos. One that I feel would be one you wouldn't refuse at all considering your strong desire to make your mark on the world."

Even though her father had effectively forbidden the poor girl from doing what her heart desired. Such as go to College and join the Army since he felt that was not a woman's place but her place was that to be a wife and mother. How her mother had ended up with a man like that considering her side of the family weren't stuck with old minded thinking had been beyond both Helena and Moira. Helena knew that her father had been looking into suiters he felt were suitable enough for his way of thinking and once it was done, would have an arranged marriage set up. And Helena was none too happy about it and was heavily considering running away despite the fact that her father had contacts in various places that he could use to find her. Her mother unfortunately was of no help since while he wasn't an abusive man, he had somehow managed to get her to be submissive to him.

And despite herself, this strange woman's words interested her even though she tried to not appear to be interested. "I'm afraid you've come here for nothing then, because no way will my father allow it." Sneered the girl unhappily.

Moira scoffed at that. "Its a good thing I haven't a need for his permission, young Helena. Why else would I choose to come now when only you are here? Had it been any other time, I would have been forced to strike him down and I haven't the time for that right now."

Even it did VASTLY appeal to her where that man was concerned. Here, Helena looked a little nervous and spoke up. "Okay… Have you been spying on me, lady!? Just who are you!?"

"I am Hera, Queen of the Greek Pantheon of Gods and Goddesses. And for several decades, I was Moira Queen until Slade Wilson took my mortal life in his mad quest for vengeance." Declared the woman as her outfit shifted into a regal armor styled look with an aura of power radiating off of her that made young Helena gape in shock.

"I have come here to help you achieve your dreams of further education and being a great warrior and hunter. You, who are descended from the blood of King Leonidas himself thanks to that of Alexios of Kefalonia."

Moira even used her powers to make an image of Alexios himself appear as he battled alongside his immortal sister Kassandra in ages past before his death. Unable to help herself, Helena bowed before the Goddess, unable to refute the claims thanks to the immense power she could feel coming from her. "Oh, do get up, child. Bowing is not needed, I assure you." Moira told her kindly as she offered a hand to her.

One that Helena hesitantly accepted and was brought to her feet. "I… I, this is amazing!"

Moira smiled at her. "Then you accept? You will be forever free of your father to do ALL that your heart desires. This I promise."

And it'd be one she'd damn well keep too! "I, I do! I swear! But what catch is there? Surely an offering this great would come with one, yes?" Asked the girl in a worried manner.

Chuckles came from the centuries old woman. "A catch? Oh dear girl, I assure you there isn't one. We Gods and Goddesses have learned from those foolish mistakes." She told her and my oh my had they learned!

Helena was doubtful none the less and Moira could sense it, but didn't comment on it. Figuring that she would come to fully believe as time went on. "Then you've got yourself a deal! This will really stick it to my dear father!"

"That it will, my child, that it will." And she couldn't wait to see that foolish man's reaction when the time came!

Placing a hand on the younger girl's shoulder, the two disappeared to begin Helena's new path into the educated warrior known as 'Fury'. It wouldn't be until December 2018 when the world would come to know of her and her prowess in battle when a revived Echidna made her return and began to send out her monstrous children from what was thought to be myth to lay waste to Greece and then the rest of the world.
