"So, can you tell what it is?" Strife asked eagerly.
Zeus flashed him an annoyed look. "If you'd calm down a moment, I'd be able to concentrate."
"Oh!" Strife muttered as he hopped from one foot to another rubbing his hands together anxiously.
"Humm." Zeus drawled out. "Looks like we have another one for the House of Love. Feels like a girl."
Cupid flashed Strife a naughty grin. "I win. I'll, like, tell you what'cha have to dress up as later."
Strife crossed his arms and sulked.
"So, like, can ya tell what she'll be goddess of?" Cupid asked.
Zeus focused in even tighter on the baby, and suddenly paled, before snatching his hand back.
"What's wrong?" Strife queried as he strode over and grabbed Cupid's hand.
"She'll be the Goddess of Scorned Love's Revenge." Zeus exclaimed as he backed away from Cupid.
"So, she'll be like, Love's payback?" Strife asked.
"Yes." Zeus eyed Cupid's stomach once more before flashing out.
"Wow. So I can teach her how ta plot nasty revenge." Strife announced as he returned to his gleeful self.
"Yeah, but we better not let her spend much time with Hera growing up." Cupid warned.
"Why?"
"Cause she could turn into a real bitch, given the way Zeus fools around."
"Oh. Ya know, that doesn't sound all that bad ta me!"
The End.
Get it? Paybacks are a bitch? Sorry, couldn't help myself. Twisted little idea jumped into my mind and wouldn't leave.
