i'm not tempting fate i'm dragging fate out to a dark walmart parking lot to settle this with a respectable amount of violence that the gods never saw coming

“Touché.” She couldn’t help giggling slightly at that. It still amazed her that he was Zeus’ son. Tani tried not to push him to talk too much about his family, but when he did she found it fascinating. She knew their relationship wouldn’t be easy considering she was a mere mortal, but it hadn’t stopped her from trying to make it work.

Her face warmed at his compliment. ”Thank you. Look, you wouldn’t be here saying you miss me if you didn’t want me back. I get it, Orion. You’re a demi god. I’m not. It will never change how I feel about you though.”

“It’s not about status...if I had a choice, I’d be mortal in a heartbeat. But my being a demigod doesn’t change how I feel about you either. It’s just...the duty that comes with being a Hero. I guess part of why I hoped so much for us, was because of your own job...how similar we were on that front...mine just had literal monsters and yours metaphorical ones.”

“I can’t promise I won’t be whisked away by some higher power to do a quest or something like that...there’s little time to discuss stuff like that. And I know it can put a strain in a relationship. But that’s what I want...and I’m not sure if I’m worthy of it.”

“When dealing with the spawn of Zeus, it’s not uncommon to feel both,” Orion tried to go for a teasing tone but his heart wasn’t in it. Mixing worlds was always fun at first...but as the differences of each world becomes harder to ignore on each side....it makes most attempts at serious relationships difficult. 

“And you look amazing. I don’t know what I want you to say because I don’t know what I want to say either...” 

“I miss you…but I don’t know if that’s enough. My mind’s telling me I’m a fool and should have cut ties long ago and give up this hope. But my heart’s encouraging me to continue being the fool.”

Andie shrugged and sipped her beer, grimacing as Orion spoke.

“Yikes, that’s really shitty. I really don’t understand why Zeus keeping being such a lousy husband, like, does he not realize the damage he’s doing to not only Hera, but to his kids with his behavior? Fuck, now I want to fight him even more.”

“Yeah...”

“Keeping up appearances and the system, I guess. I don’t really have an answer. Not one that makes sense to us who live in the modern world, at any rate. This is kinda my norm, so...not healthy, but kinda what I’ve known my whole life. He...like most gods, cares. But in their own way. And with limitations. Because we’re not like typical families. Our roles in the world are different. Instruments of his design to fight monsters they can’t...fix problems they don’t know how...we have our parts to play and love is a dangerous thing that can tip the scales and make things worse. Love in Greek myths are tragic but epic for a reason....”

“Beers it is,” Andie replied, making her way to the fridge and pulling out a couple bottles for both of them, popping the tops off before handing Orion his.

“Not really, the whole thing was a disaster from start to finish so my portfolio will do nothing to salvage my reputation. It happens, I’ll be moody about it for a hot minute and then I’ll get over it. No big deal. What do I need to fight your dad for this time?”

“I’m sorry...really.” Orion said as he accepted the beer, giving it a small clink in camaraderie with Andie. 

“How he treats his wife...Hera never really cared for me. After a while we sort of had an understanding of sorts. Kinda. But she was upset recently but dad’s King, so...I’ve been busy with my own, thankfully smaller scale version, of Herculean tasks...during my birth week at that.”

“To make a long story short, I made myself look like an idiot in front of no less than four potential clients. What about you, and do you need a beer?”

“To make my long story short...My father is Zeus. So I’d love a beer...”

“Any comfort in reminding you that you’ve got a lot of credit in your career and all any of them gotta do is look at your portfolio, past works, and with small bit of research learn how legit you are?”

“Not that much better...what happened with you?”

“Not that much better...what happened with you?” 

“Every village has their idiot, and in this case it’s me. How’s your day going?”

Andie chuckled, shaking her head as she closed the door behind her, just to be safe. “It’s not fighting dirty, it’s called ensuring the desired outcome, which is you taking a much needed break.”

She walked over to his desk, a sly grin on her face as she moved to straddle him in his chair. “If that’s what you wanna do, I’m certainly down for it. I’d also be open to getting on my knees and making you see stars with this talented tongue of mine. You’re the birthday boy, though, so you get to pick.”

“Mmm,” Orion hummed as he secured her on his lap. “Still. It’s a bit dirty...since both of you know I could never be mad at either of you.” 

At her suggestion, he pretended to think about it, but she could already feel his response as his erection tented his slacks. “It’s been a while since I have celebrated it properly. And with a promise like that, I’d be foolish to say no. I am many things, but not that...show me what that wickedly talented tongue can do, love.”

If it hadn’t been for his assistant telling him he had the day off tomorrow he wouldn’t have cared or noticed. He rebutted that despite being raised in the country, he wasn’t actually American, to which he rebutted that it was his birthday.  He knew better than to argue with Jane. There was a reason he hired her after all. To be more than a match for him and keep him organized. His own Pepper Potts. 

But he was still stubborn and was in his office late when there was a knock at the door. When he saw it was Andie, he gave her an amused look, “One...Jane’s dirty to using you to get me to stop working. Two...the irony of a workaholic coming to come get me to stop working is...hilarious.”

He closed his file and set his pen down, pushing back from his desk to stretch properly. 

“Ever have a fantasy of knocking everything off of a desk? There’s no giant map to spread but I could spread your legs and eat you out before seeing how the rest of the night goes.”

“The actual world may not be falling apart....but it feels like mine is. It’s insulting. Having so much power, literal divine power as well as financial and military power...and yet...I can’t seem to stop a personal tragedy from happening.”

“We don’t choose to be unloved by those who should love us.”

Despite what the weather’s supposed to be like during these summer days, the area around his building had clouds looming overhead. Light thunder rumbled, but no lightning nor rain. Orion wished he could clear it, but he was too seeped into his mood to change it. “My instincts have been trying to tell me something for the past week. And annoyingly...irritatingly...I might be right. And I can only hope I’m not. I’m actually tempted to pray I’m not,” He scoffed with a shake of his head.
