"Wouldn't want you to be alone on Olympus. Aphrodite will keep you company," Xena says to Ares, and Aphrodite catches the apple Xena throws to her with a gasp and a smile.
"Thank you, Xena," she says gratefully, and then takes a bite of Odin's golden apple. An awesome warmth and glow flows through her as her immortality is restored, and she lets out a pleased giggle while everyone around her is hit with the wave of love that radiates from her now that her powers are back with a vengeance and love can be returned to the world.
All is as it should be, and that's bitchin'. Aphrodite turns to her brother with a smile. "Should we leave these mortals to their business, Ares?" she says, eager to get home. He has some parting words for Xena, and Aphrodite is patient enough to stand and watch Xena return the remaining golden apples to Odin. "Come on, let's go home," she says, and pulls Ares gently away from the group of people gathered on the snow-covered mountain. They walk away, her arm in his, both of them popping out mid-stride in a burst of gold and sparkles.
But when Aphrodite arrives at her destination, the place she's in is so not Olympus, and on top of that, Ares is nowhere to be seen. Instead, she's in some heinous-looking building with absolutely no character and no hint of the home she knows. "If this is your idea of a joke, big brother, I am so not amused," she huffs out, planting her hands on her hips. There's no answer, and no Ares popping into sight either, which only makes Aphrodite more annoyed.
"Whatever, I'm definitely not hanging around this dreary place any longer," she says, flourishing one hand - and nothing happens. She tries again with two hands, making the flourish bigger and causing her hair to bounce - still nothing. Aphrodite lets out an irritated huff and stomps one heeled sandal, making a satisfyingly loud click. She just got her godhood back from Xena and now this? "So not fair!"
[Enter one pink lingerie-clad goddess! First person gets to explain the island, the rest can find her pouting somewhere in the compound (because it's freezing outside and she is not about to get any clothing out of that grody box XD). ST just fine, open for new tags through Weds]
