Hades appears and asks Meg if she found Hercule's weakness but she tells Hades that she's had enough and quits while Batman and Phil were watching from the bushes everything going down

Meg, Meg, Meg, my sweet deluded little minion. Aren't we forgetting one teensy-weensy, but ever so crucial little, tiny detail? Hades said

What's that? Meg said

Hades angrily bursts into flames at Meg

I own you! Hades said

Phil comes in and gets up from the ground

Oh. I got another horn here. Phil said

You work for me! Hades said

That kid's gonna be doin' laps for a month. Phil said

Phil then notices Batman looking at something in the bushes

Batman and Phil were watching and saw Meg talking with Hades

If i say, "sing", you say, "Hey, name that tune" If i say, "I want Wonderboy's head on a platter" you say... Hades said

Medium or well done. Meg said

Oh! Phil said

I know. Batman said

I knew that dame was trouble. Phil said

Maybe she's being forced by him. Batman said

No way. She's trouble. Phil said

What? Batman said

This is gonna break the kid's heart. Phil said

Phil, where are you going? Batman said

Understand? Hades said

I'll work on that. Meg said

I'm sorry...you hear that sound? Hades said
