An OUTRAGEOUS Revelation!
Irina having dropped him off, Argo felt the need to visit his friends and fellow gods of the Defenders. It had already been a good time since his return to the mortal realm (though he had been unusually quiet in discussing what, exactly, had caused him to leave Olympus). He had drank many beers, he had told many stories, and he had been with many women.

Some of the fangirls had been rather enthusiastic about his return.

But for now, he wished to see his other friends. He'd heard there had been a baby born while he was gone. To Svalin, no less! He'd thought her only slightly less frigid than Asleif, unable to be warmed even by the Lion Cub of Olympus. Who could have reached her so? His helm was off to such a master of woo, whomever he may be.

He rang the bell.

	"I know not where he was," Argo growled. "Olympus, perhaps, or elsewhere. He left my own mother when I was but small. But had he but known of your existence, he would not have left you alone." He gave Kael a light, but firm, shove. "I ask that you mind my personal space, Brother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael barely budged an inch. "And I'd ask not to have been born his son, but neither of us are getting what we want," Kael growled darkly. He'd tried, he really had. Kael pushs back..hard. Oh yes, he was definitely Hercules' son. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo, unprepared, was knocked several steps back, catching his balance as best he could. Surprise registered on his face, turning to anger. "I've no wish to fight you, Brother. The blood of our father runs in both our veins. We can be friends." His tone was slightly harsh, turning colder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"From what I understand it probably runs in a quarter of Midgard's population." Kael throws his swords down. He wasn't going to kill him. "My father's blood has given me nothing but misery! Why would you be any different!?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo's face twisted into something of a snarl. "I would advise you to watch your words, and your tone, Brother," he said. "Lest I correct them with my fists." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're welcome to try," Kael challenged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo had had enough. His father had been insulted. He had been insulted. His battle prowess had been insulted. It was more than he could stand. "Receive the Gift of Battle!" he bellowed, as he threw a punch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-08-20 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	Kael let out an Elvish call of battle and flung a punch of his own. Their fists connected, a thundering sound echoed when they did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2012-08-20 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	The blow was massive, the crack of thunder probably broke more than a few windows. And Argo? Argo was laughing. "Ha ha ha! OUTRAGEOUS! Your strength is impressive, Brother! But it does not excuse your words!" He put up his fists, bounced on the balls of his feet. "Do you relent? Or must I show you further, my outrageous might?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael wouldn't admit it, but it felt good to vent like this. "I am not looking for forgiveness!" Kael moved into a combat stance, but scrunched his eyes in annoyance. "Why do you keep saying that!?" He darts forward and sends a kick Argo's way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2012-08-20 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	The kick knocked Argo off his feet, sending him flying into a tree on the grounds. It cracked under the impact. "I greet you in the spirit of brotherhood, and you repay me with hateful words? Most unkind, Brother!" He ripped the tree out of the ground and swung it like a bat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo was probably stronger, but Kael was quicker. He flipped back, barely missing the first swing. "You had the benefit of knowing him! Being loved by him! All he gave me was abandonment!" When the tree cqame back around, Kael grabbed the tree, trying to wrench it from Argo's grasp. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2012-08-20 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	Argo braced himself and kept the tree from leaving his grasp. He instead tried to swing it with Kael attached. "Have at you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kael couldn't let go in time and was flung into the air. He hit the ground, his head connecting with a small stone. He went to get up, but a familiar fuzziness began to well in his head...

No! The wound from when he fought the mortal Exemplars! Not now, damn it! His vision blurred, but he wasn't going to stand down to this man..even though he didn't realize his steps were off a bit.

"Come on!"

	"What is the meaning of this!" Sydney yelled as she came running out of the main building. One couldn't help but to notice what was going on outside. "Stop this insanity immediately!" She ran to stand between them and glared up at Argo. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo awkwardly dropped the tree. "Lady Sydney!" he said. "You see... the thing of it is... That is to say..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-08-20 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Lady Sydney..out of the way." He stubbornly tried to walk toward Argo, his movements obviously shaky now as all he could see were vague shapes, but he knew Sydney's voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No. This fight ends /now/." She wasn't going to budge. If they wanted to fight they'd have to go through her. Which wouldn't be that hard, but it was the only thing to go.

"You are brothers. Like it or not. That means you have to deal with each other."

She turned toward Kael. "You. You have issues with your father, not Argo. He is not your father. If you want to take your issues out on someone, you hunt your father down and deal with him." Not a good career move for her, but her boss could handle it.

"And you," she turned back toward Argo. "This is how you repay our hospitality by fighting and attacking one of us?"

	The Lady Sydney's rage was as fierce as he remembered. "He started it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-08-20 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Kael stumbled a moment, catching himself quickly. Kael gritted his teeth a moment, before letting out a harsh breath. "You..are right, Lady Sydney. I..apologize." A dizzy spell sent him back a little, but thankfully there was a tree to keep him from falling unceremoniously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't even go there," she warned Argo. Sydney went to Kael's side and put a shoulder under his arm for support. "Argo, you will help. Now." She gave him a look that said 'Don't push me'. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2012-08-20 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, Lady Sydney," Argo said hastily. "My apologies." He moved to help her with Kael. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2012-08-20 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I.." Kael had been about to protest when he almost stumbled again. "Okay," he said quietly, his pride definitely damaged, but he saw the logic in it. "Damn Exemplars," he cursed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2012-08-20 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Let's get him into the medlab," she said. "Just take it easy, Kael. You'll be fine." Now that anger was fading, she could feel the worry slipping in. When she took this job she saw it as babysitting a bunch of godlings, but along they way they became her family. Family that she worried about. "Go slow, Argo," she said as they started moving toward the main building. (Reply to this)(Parent)
