Summary:Zues and Hera decide that Psyche needs punished, but someone
beats him to it.

Zues looked down at Cupid as he began to nurse his
greatgrandson. Rage filled him. He turned to Hera and could see it
burning in her eyes as well. As one they flashed from the temple.
the reappeared in the House of War. "Ares! Aphrodite!" Zues
bellowed. They appeared with twin looks of irritation on their
faces. "I was in the middle of something! What?!" Ares demanded.
Dite glared at them as well. "We are here about Cupid and Bliss."
Hera said calmly. Irritation turned to concern. "What's happened?
Where are they?" They demanded as one. dite shifted from foot to
foot and sent her power out to her son. She gasped in shock when she
felt her son feeding his. She looked at Hera in confussion. "Momma
why is Cupie breast feeding Bliss?" Ares gaped at her in
shock. "HE"S WHAT?!" Ares bellow reverberated through the temple.
Both Eris and Strife appeared. They wanted to know what caused Ares
to sound so shocked and outraged. Hera sighed and materialized a
chair for her emotional child. She pushed him into it as he stared
at her in mute shock.

I had to bite my lip to keep from gigglin at the look on Unc's
face. I knew somethin was wrong though cause Dite looked as though
she'd been bitch slapped. "What happened to Psyche?" I had to bite
back my response to that! Bitch! I hated her. She had my Cupie. I
know he's not really mine. Tarturas he don't even know how I feel.
He can't even stand ta be around me for more'n five minutes. "Psyche
has taken a potion to dry up her milk and remove any evidence that
she ever bore a child. She has finally revealed the true her to
Cupid." I frowned. What about Bliss? "What about Bliss?" I jerked
in suprise as Unc echoed ny question. Hera sighed and closed her
eyes for a momment. "Psyche told Cupid she doesn't care one way or
another. As far as she is concerned he can starve to death. She
only had Bliss to tighten the marriage bonds with Cupid. The stupid
girl never realized by admiting that I had the right to revoke her
godhood and remove any godly protection from her." Finally! I
shouted in my mind. I left before they could say anymore.

I reappeared in Cupid's temple and began to search out the
bitch. She would pay for what she had done to me and to Cupid and
Bliss. Yeah I resent her. Did I tell ya she made a move on my Uncle
Apollo on thier dedication day. Pol was disgusted. like everone he
loves Cupe. He also knows I do. I got drunk on thier wedding night
with im and the Muses and blurted it out. He didn't laugh. He told
me ta be patient that some day she wouldn't be in the picture. The
next week she announces she's pregnant. Even Pol was shocked. We
all lost hope that things would be over between them. The worst part
though was that everone, but the Muses, Pol and Me loved her. I only
spoke bad of er once. She told Zues I made a pass nd threatened er.
He beat the livin' shit outta me and placed a protective barrier
around her. Know it was my turn to cause a little pain.

Psyche scowled when she couldn't flash away. She looked around
her in confusion. "Goin' somewhere bitch?" She spun to face Strife.
Still not realizing the danger she was in she sneered. "What are you
doing here freak? Do you enjoy being beaten by Zues?" She shifted
when she saw the look in his eyes. He smiled and walked over to
her. Afraid suddenly she began to walk away. Strife's smile
widened. He stalked her until she was trapped against the wall. She
gasped as he slammed both hands down on either side of her head. "If
you touch me Zues will kill you." she stutered. "Wrong! They know
what you did to My Honey and his baby." she turned scornful. "Your
honey? He's my husband." Wrong again Bitch! Hera overturned your
marriage, yer mortal again and no longer under any gods protection.
That makes ya mine." Psyche screamed as her grabbed her by the
throat and flashed away.

Zues scowled as he lost contact with Psyche's signature. He
frowned as he lost Strife as well. "Where is the bitch, I'll teach
her a lesson in family loyalty." Ares growled. "She's gone." Hera
frowned at him. "Gone, gone where?" Dite snarled. "I don't know,
but Strife is with her." They all looked at Eris in suprise when she
began to howl with laughter. "Eris what is so funny?" Zues snapped.
She stopped laughing and glared at her father. "Strife heared you
say that you removed your protection. If I know my little boy Psycho
will be begging for death soon." She smiled with cold pleaasure.
Hera frowned at her daughter. "Why would Strife care anything about
her?" He's in love with Cupid. Not to mention her lies about Strife
and Dad beating the crap out of him." Eris snapped in reply, glaring
at the four gods. "Strife loves Cupid?" Dite asked with a
shout. "Yeah, what of it?" Eris growled. "Cupie loves him! He's
loved him like forever. He only married Psyche cause he thinks
Strife doesn't like him." The gods all groaned. "They're soul
mates." They all looked at Hera in suprise. "Why didn't you say
anything?" Ares asked in shock. This day was getting to be to much.
His son and his nephew. Ares shook his head in disbelief. "I was
going to, but Cupid brought Psyche home. You know very well that
Strife was to unstable to marry before all of this. Know he's
stronger and better able to handle things." We have to find away to
get those two together. Eris said quietly. They all blinked at
Discord in shock. She glared at them defiently.

I flashed myself back into my rooms in Uncs temple and decided
a bath was in order. Psyche was dead. I made sure she suffered for
all of it. All the pain she had caused I gave her in return til she
was beggin for death. I was glad, but scared too. What would I say
to Cupe? Would he hate me? Shit what did it matter I couldn't let her
get away with what she had done to us. She wanted her own baby ta
die. A baby that should a been mine. I sighed and lowered myself
into the water and began to was way the filth. Yeah I coulda flashed
it away, but I like water. After a while the water ran clean and I
settled back to relax. I was about to close my eyes when I was
suddenly transporting. I looked around in shock when I stopped
moving. There was a gasp of suprise from the crowd. "Fuck! Who knew
he was that hot?" I flushed at Hermes exclamation and quickly clothed
myself. To my suprise there where actually exclamations of protest.
I turned to look at the twelve. I noticed then that Cupid was
standing a few feet away staring in slack jawed silence. I frowned
at him in confusion. "Strife." I turned back to Zues and gulped. I
admit it the old goat scares the shit outta me. "You have been
brought here to report on the status and place of the traitor
Psyche. Where is she?" Hera asked. I striaghtened and avoided
looking at Cupid. "I sent the bitch to Hades!" I snarled
defiantly. "Why? and don't try to lie. Just the truth." I
blinked. "She tried to kill Bliss, if cupid hadn't come home wen he
did he neve woulda known bout the potion. Bliss woulda died. Plus
she used Cupid. I hated the bitch." Hera nodded. "Cupid step
forward." Hera suddenly ordered. Cupid stepped up beside me and I
gulped. She stepped over to us and grabbed our arms where they
brushed against one another. "Hold your arms out and together." she
ordered. We did as she told us in confusion. Suddenly before we
could act she twined marriage cords around our wrists and said, "Let
it be witnessed before all that from this moment on Cupid God of Love
and Strife God of Mischief and Vengance are soul bonded in marriage
for eternity or until death." Then to my shock the twine melted into
our skin and disappeared. Cupid and I could only stare at each other
in shock.
