Who: Poseidon, Eros and Psyche, and then Aphrodite
When: Wednesday night
Where: Eros/Psyche's place
Warnings/rating: a little violence and angry Poseidon


Poseidon was livid that Aphrodite's little pip-squeak was sticking his nose into his marriage again. The runt would remember quickly that Poseidon backed his threats. He'd rip that cherubs body right in half when he was done. Amphitrite was his and Eros was playing on shaky ground with an already unstable god.

Eros had been easy to find, almost too easy. Banging on the door Poseidon threatened to rip the door open. The young love god had a sandwich in his mouth and a coke ready to lounge for the night. With Hedone off again at a friends the house was his and Psyche's. When Poseidon cranked through the door he didn't have a chance to even think of anything to say. He simply sat down on the couch and ignored the water god.

"Who is it? Who'd you make her fall for?" that would be the next victim on Poseidon's list. No one had had her before. No one had touched her, smelled her hair and caressed her body. Poseidon refused to think about the rape in Greece because this was far worse. This was killing any hold he had on Amphitrite. For her to find something he could never give, fake or not, it ruined his already crumbling control.

Poseidon picked up the brat slamming him against the wall. "I said you'd pay." He'd break Eros until he couldn't open his mouth to cry for his Mommy.

Psyche had just stepped out of the bathroom when Poseidon came thundering in. Stopping at the end of the hall she stood watching with terror on her face.

She had heard the banging on the door and the shouting but she had been too late in intervening in any way. Which for her sake was probably good anyway. She stood no chance against Poseidon, physically. Mentally, however. That was an entirely different story.

When Eros was lifted and pressed against the wall she took a few steps forward, "Let him go! Let him go!" She was seconds away from pulling out her phone and calling Ares.

Poseidon laughed when the little wife showed up. He turned his head still pinning Eros to the wall. The youthful face love god was already covered in his own blood still refusing to give Poseidon anything he wanted. He only stuck his tongue out and throwing hits when he could. It was nothing in comparison and had he been able to get his hands steady he would have struck him with a love spell with the couch.

"Psyche!" Eros said frantically. He didn't want Poseidon to get his hands on her, he'd hurt her, or worse. Eros struggled to get out of that deadly grip but it was useless, so his feet flailed pushing at Poseidon's chest, only everything from his neck down felt near broken.

"Leave her alone!" he said noting that look in Poseidon's eyes.

"What will you do, hmmm?" Poseidon said with a nasty sneer. His hateful gaze turned back to Eros, "Your pip-squeak husband will get his ass handed to him, if I don't kill him first."

It was true, Psyche couldn't really do anything. She was frantic now, not sure what to do except flail at herself for not being a more useful goddess.

And then everything she'd said to Eros came back in a flash. She had forgotten in those few seconds. She didn't even need to touch him for it to work. His being there was enough.

There was a strange darkness in her eyes, not quite black but deeper then her usual brown. "You will stop bothering us and deal with your own problems in solitude and despair." There seemed to be a gust of wind but that might have been coincidence. Any moment now Poseidon should be feeling more than regret for letting his wife go. Sorrow, pain, anguish, despair, grief, personal blame. All those bad feelings that came with regret. And Psyche wouldn't let up on him for a long time to come.

He was about to rail Eros through the wall when that heaviness he'd been feeling the last few weeks got even heavier. So much it was like a weight pulling him down to the floor dragging him by his neck.

He paused in his motion, arm in air as if frozen. His head tilted, jaw clenched as if he was trying to get a grip on his own head. His lip twitched looking back and forth between her and Eros and even more lost than he'd been before.

"The fuck are you doing?" he said still not letting Eros go.

Psyche just stared at Poseidon. "Get out," she said in a low and dangerous voice. "Get out or I'll make it worse."

It was a good thing Eros shared so many things with her. She knew more than people realized, more than she was comfortable with. But in times like these it was useful.

Eros slid down the wall into a lump on the floor when Poseidon lost his grip. He grabbed his chest using the wall as leverage to sit up and breathe without everything hurting. Poseidon had a mean punch.

Poseidon gripped the collar of her shirt pulling her closer, knotting his fist into it and a glare that said 'make it stop'. He didn't like this feeling, it was insufferable. Worse than any physical pain he could ever have.

He tried to talk but nothing could come out, just a jumble of words and thoughts in his head crossing over the other so much that he felt he would collapse over his own feet. It all flooded in so fast he didn't know what to do with it.

Psyche screamed when he grabbed her shirt. She didn't know what he would do next and she didn't want to find out.

"LEAVE!" She screamed in his face. Although she was trembling and tears were forming in her eyes she wouldn't back down.

-----

Aphrodite wasn't a warrior but nothing in the world would save someone who dared to harm her children. She'd not yet decided what terrible fucked up love was going to befall Poseidon after Ares was finished with him, but she promised herself it would be perfect. He'd been warned not to touch Eros.

She made her way to her son's apartment right after the message from Psyche and when the door was opened she swept right in. "Oh my darling children," she crooned to the both of them (her daughter-in-law suddenly adored, at least for the moment). "Let me see what that bastard did."

Psyche wasn't about to turn down Aphrodite to come and check on Eros (because inside she knew that was the true reason for the visit). Psyche was still shaken up and apart from a small bruise that had formed at the neck of her shirt she appeared unharmed. It was Eros who was injured.

The moment Poseidon had left Psyche had dashed for the first aid kit and returned to Eros' side to clean up the blood and tend to his injuries. By the time Aphrodite had arrived Psyche had managed to move him to the couch momentarily. She was still shaking and merely sat on the floor next to the couch, holding onto Eros' hand in her own trembling one. She would have killed Poseidon if she had that sort of power. But for now just knowing that his soul was eating away at itself was good enough for her.

At the sound of Aphrodite's voice she looked up and there was a relieved smile on her face at the company. Which faded almost as quickly when she moved to the head of the couch so she could see her son.

Eros hurt all over. He'd been slammed around like a rag doll, some broken bones, and bruises. His face felt like a freight train ran over it, broken nose included. He could still taste blood in his mouth. He was proud of Psyche in seeing her stand her ground, but he'd been terribly worried she would get caught in the middle of this.

To an extent this was hilarious and worth it. Poseidon was suffering even more, he'd given Amphitrite a dose of the kind of man she really deserved. He done his duty. Just as equally, for the first time Eros felt his father took notice and was proud of him.

He stayed still on that couch not moving much and just listening as Aphrodite came in. "Moooooom," he called out weakly. He wanted the throbbing to stop.

"My lamb," Aphrodite said, coming to sit on the edge of the couch beside him, very gently stroking his hair. "Look what that monster did to you!"

She fussed over him like the little boy she would always see him as before finally looking over to Psyche again. "Oh you sweet girl, come show me what he did to you."

Psyche watched silently, though her eyes weren't focused on them at all. When Aphrodite used the word monster she couldn't agree more. That was the perfect word for Poseidon. Only a monster would do this to another being. She had done everything she could for him, which was quite a bit considering she was a nurse. She had bandaged him, set whatever broken bones she could, cleaned him up. He looked a lot better compared to before but he still liked rough.

She looked at Aphrodite and shook her head, "He only grabbed me. I think I had too much of a hold on his soul for him to actually do anything to me. He went right for Eros," she said quietly.

Eros closed his eyes at his mother's soft and gentle touch. He liked being fussed over but he didn't like that everything throbbed.

He'd asked Psyche over and over again if Poseidon had hurt her more worried for her than himself. These bruises and broken things would heal. He just wanted his family safe. He was glad more than ever that Hedone had been gone.

"Mother," he said in a hushed voice, pitiful as it was. "I'll be fine. Psyche is okay?"
