There were plenty of benefits being reborn as a goddess. First off, even the weakest members of a pantheon could put up a decent fight against an Endbringer, and be on par with any member of the Triumvirate. I'm pretty sure that Posiedon would easily beat Leviathan if the two ever met. Leaning against a building wall, I directed several flies near the Three Brother's table, as well as several roaches, making sure that they were out of sight. Everything was still blurry, I didn't have enough bugs to hear clearly, but I could see their outlines.

I could hear voices, it was a bit shaky, like a radio that was filled with static. I needed more bugs. Ants! Using the local anthill, I used their sheer numbers to boost the signal as they gathered around the table. No one should notice as long as they stayed hidden in the carpet.

Someone really needed to vacuum this place. Seriously, who eats brunch at a strip club? I shouldn't be surprised, this was Zeus afterall.

"I'm in the market for a second wife. Do you know if Persephone is avai-"

"STAY AWAY FROM HER YOU COMPLETE PIECE OF SHET!"

I winced from how loud Hades shouted. So he was the one that organized the kidnapping, having others do his dirty work so he could be seen as a savior. I narrowed my eyes. How was Demeter going to take this? If I remembered right she was a bit of a helicopter mom.

"Are you going to stop holding out on us now?" A third voice said. It was sleazy, as if a parasite was trying to worm its way into my brain.

Zeus.

The three continued talking about Persephone, Zeus and Poseidon mostly teasing or throwing light hearted jabs. The conversation took a more serious tone when Hades brought up something about Mint. Mint, I don't remember anything about a Mint plant.

"What you want is an excellent Queen of the Underworld, not an ok one my dear brother." Zeus actually sounded like a decent person for once. "Maybe I could arrange a marriage with the Egyptians to cement our little alliance. It'll be killing two birds with one stone. Amun-Ra gets his trade deal and some more, and you won't be lonely anymore!" I could literally sense Zeus' smirk. "Khepri does seem pretty fit-"

Oh hell no, I take it back. Zeus was definitely not a good person. I felt a shiver go down my spine. Once this mission was over I just wanted to go home.

"No! She's not really my type anyways" Pushing the insult aside, Hades sounded pretty lonely. He must've fallen in love already.

Poseidon spoke up. "I didn't know you felt that way! Why don't you borrow my wife? I'm sure she won't mind."

That was oddly caring, but also pretty weird.

"No-no! It's fine really." Awww, was Hades blushing. I wish the view wasn't so blurry, this was pretty entertaining, like reading a comic book or story for free.

Suddenly, I felt the bugs I put on Hera come close to the table. She had transformed into a nymph with revealing clothes, so I had to be careful on how many I used near her.

She drew close, handing them their beverages while they walked about Persephone, the topic suddenly turning more adultlike than I would prefer, the stupid perverts. Pushing my blush down, I directed a few flies to the ceiling for a better view.

The three brothers suddenly laughed violently. Hera snapped one of her fingers dramatically and transformed right in front of them.

"Zeus...it's Hera." The god of the sea whispered as the brothers huddled together.

"I CAN SEE THAT POSEIDON. THANK YOU FOR STATING THE OBVIOUS. I TOTALLY THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS DEMETER."

My swarm detected holding something that Hera was blowing smoke, most likely a cigarette. She didn't seem like a cigar type of goddess.

"So this is the brunch you're always disappearing to." Hera started. "The three of you, loafing around being disgusting." Yeah!

"How disappointing…" Hera puffed out more smoke. She was taking the words out of my mouth. The ants I have on Zeus' expensive shoes shook, he had gotten up.

"Come on Heraaaa. You can sit with me." Zeus received a face full of smoke.

"Bunny, I-" Hades spoke up. Wait a minute, Bunny? Nicknames? Well that was a bit suspicious. Was there something else going on with those two?

"Don't you dare Bunny me." Hera sounded. "Talking about my friend's daughter in such a disgusting manner. That's not even mentioning what you said about our guest!"

I could sense Hera glaring at Zeus.

"You are also the god of guest rights, live up to it!" Hera sounded like she was about to rant some more when she paused.

"Someone is listening in on us." Oh no, did she figure me out. Slowly sliding out of the alley, I started walking away, just far enough to still be in range. The security cameras around me wouldn't be able to see anything with the amount of roaches covering them.

"Of course they are. We're eating breakfast!" Poseidon exclaimed. Hades started sulking in his seat.

"It's not that." Hera moved about carefully, when I sensed a fly getting plucked out of the air. It was time to cut my losses while I could. They didn't have any of the information I needed anyways. "Someone was spying on us-"

I dropped my control of the swarm in the strip club and sauntered away, my hands in my pocket. Glancing at my phone, I cursed myself.

I had to get back to the hotel before Thoth and Anubis. Damn, I still needed to get my blazer back. I glanced at the clock on my phone again. Yeah I had enough time.

"Oh Khepriiii, we're baaaack." Anubis shouted as he kicked the door to my hotel room down. Thoth sighed next to him as he followed Anubis in. "You had better been on your best behavior-what the hell is that?!" Anubis jumped in the air and landed onto Thoth's strong arms.

I flashed them a small smile as I pointed towards the four scarabs in front of me. Standing on two legs and holding instruments, I had came up with the greatest excuse ever.

"Meet John, Paul, George and Ringo."

A/N

Here's another self promotion. Check out my music based story. Sgt. Taylor's Lonely Heart Club Band.

Anyways, I start a new job this Monday so I won't be able to write much for a week or so until I get settled in and have free time after work.

I decided that the flashbacks will be added to the main story since not everyone will be interested in checking out another thread, and they'll end up missing quite a bit. The schedule I have in mind is

Flashback

Pov that's not Taylor
