Who: Amphitrite and Briareos
When: Right after this
Where: Poseidon's apartment
Warnings: Swearing

Amphitrite had been feeling the constraints of being back under Poseidon's roof yet again. There were times when she didn't mind being there, and times when she wanted to just get away. Being the wife of Poseidon was no easy task. It came with the territory.

Before she was due to meet him for dinner she decided to stop by the apartment to change clothes. Knowing Poseidon, he had something extravagant planned and she wanted to be dressed appropriately. The moment she opened the door she knew something wasn't right. There was melted ice cream smeared on the floor, something that Poseidon would have demanded be cleaned up immediately. She felt a presence, but it didn't feel welcoming. It was neither Poseidon nor Kymopoleia. They both gave off a wanted, comforting sense, personal attitudes aside.

Her brow wrinkled as she took slow step after slow step. Each step she took brought more signs of a possible struggle. "Who's here?" she called out in a strong, demanding voice.

Briareos just lay where he'd crawled out, not yet with the energy to stand. His body was in shock. It was far more frustrating to realize how little power he'd had even in the face of his wife.

He didn't answer Amphitrite when she came in, the presence distinctly linked with Poseidon.

When no one answered, her eyes narrowed suspiciously. Either this person was hiding from her or they were unable to answer. She searched, following what she felt was the trail to whoever this being was.

And then she found him. She stopped, watching what appeared to be a lifeless body until she saw him breathe. "Turn over," she demanded, "I want to see your face."

With a grunt Briareos rolled over, his face very similar to that of Poseidon. A much younger, skinnier version, but still within the same realm.

Putting his hands down on the floor he pushed himself up into a seated position.

When Amphitrite finally saw his face she studied it for a moment before recognizing him. "Briareos," she said with distaste. "What the hell are you doing here? What happened here?"

He stood up on shaky legs straightening his leather jacket. "Poseidon asked me to stop by." His hands were still trembling as he tried to get ahold of himself. "Kymopoleia locked me in the pantry."

Amphitrite watched him carefully, suspicious of any moves he made. She didn't trust him in the least. But when he said why he was there, well she believed it. "He brought you here?" She was suddenly very angry with Poseidon. This was the single most insane, inconsiderate, and stupid thing he had ever done. "Well, it's much nicer than the place you really belong," she said, making her dislike for him obvious. "Did you hurt my daughter?" The answer would determine her actions.

"Yes." His hand went back to his cheek where Kymopoleia had torn open his cheek. "She attacked me." He'd gotten in a few jabs, but nothing that was befitting of an ancient sea god. It made him angry at listening to Poseidon, because at that moment he was just as much a pawn for him as Kymopoleia had been.

Amphitrite grew angrier, her cheeks turning a little pink as as she felt the fury boiling inside of her. "Good, you deserve so much more for what you did to her. You and Poseidon." She didn't care if he was already hurt, she just wanted him to feel some of the pain that she knew her own daughter had once felt. She backhanded him as hard as she could muster. "Come into my home, invited or not, and harm my child. I will show you what it looks like when a mother protects her young," she said viciously.

"I won't be made the culprit here." His eyes narrowed. Favorite son-in-law or not, he was seething toward Poseidon. His eyes narrowed heavy, dark circles hanging under his blue eyes. As a monster Briareos had no way of treating Kymopoleia any different than others. He didn't understand the concept of treating people kindly.

Now in such a small human form, emotions didn't run rampant in his make-up other than anger. He was very unsettled right now, Amphitrite's strike making him hiss with hate. "She was given to me then," he yelled. "I took what was mine, I knew no different." His voice was hoarse from screaming so loud in the pantry when Kymopoleia had him locked up.

Amphitrite stepped closer, showing her superiority to him in that moment. "You were made the bad guy the moment you laid a finger on her."

His hiss didn't scare her at all. She was angry, standing up as the mother she truly was, protecting and caring for her daughter even if she was not there. It was her strength that made her lack fear now. "Given to you or not, she never accepted you. Had you treated her better she would not fear and hate you now." By this point she was mere inches from his face, "If you touch my daughter again without her consent I swear I will gut you and hang you with your own insides."

"Then why don't you stick your blame on your husband. I'm not going to be a pawn for anyone." He pushed past her, not comfortable with feeling this wrath that he had no means to fight against. He was weak from his panic just moments before. It lessened his ability to lash out. He was his own man now, not anyone else's. Monster or not.

When he pushed past her she made sure to push back roughly with her shoulder. "Poseidon will get his own lashing for this, but don't you worry about that." She turned fully around, staring him down. "But trying to throw me off your ass isn't going to work." She felt for the vase she knew was inches away and grabbed it once she felt it. "Play innocent all you want, but once a monster always a monster," she seethed. The vase came down, smashing over his head and shattered pieces fell gloriously to the floor. She was breathing heavily by now and all she wanted was to beat him, but first she needed to find her daughter.

He turned ready to break her arm if he had to. The crack of ceramic and blood streamed down the side of his head. His hand grabbed tightly on the bend of her arm, enough to bruise but not enough to snap before his vision blurred.

Amphitrite actually smiled a little when he grabbed her. "And that will be your one-way ticket to Hades when Poseidon finds out you touched me," she said, just before he hit the floor. She gave him one fleeting looking before leaving, slamming the door behind her. She would not be changing and she would not be meeting Poseidon tonight. She would search the city high and low until she found Kymopoleia.
