Three days later found Bella deep cleaning her house with Derek and the rest of the gang there. They had taken some time off to help her get her house livable again. That had been easier said than done, Between her and Zeus they had destroyed the place, and the worst part of it was she didnt even know how it had happened. 

"you're telling me you cant remember any of it?" Derek asked in disbelief. 

"It was like....real, but not real" Bella said trying to explain it as she carried a box of broken glass across the room. "all i know is...i was having hallucinations...so i dont know what was real...and what wasnt" she shrugged helplessly. 

"how do you have so much glass?" JJ asked as she filled another box up with broken glass. Everyones attention was quickly turned towards the door hearing a knock. Bella walked over to the door and opened it up. There stood two men whom Bella recognized immediately. One of them her brother by adoption who was in reality her Uncle

and her Biological Mother who was wearing a military uniform indicating that she had just gotten home from the war.

Bella stared in awe while they stared at her.

"what the hell!" Scorpius explained looking her over. Bella realizing why they were staring looked down as her face grew hot with embarrassment.

"oh wow" The woman in the uniform, Marie, spoke up. bella noticed there was no hint of shock in her voice. 

She looked up at Marie and saw that she didnt look all that surprised by Bella's appearance. "please tell me you know something about this" she said pleadingly. 

Marie sighed a little giving her a look of pity. 

"What the hell happened to this place?!" Scorpius asked in alarm as he walked by her and into the living room. 

"Uh...thunder storm" Bella said lamely unable to think up a good excuse. Scorpius only glared at her. 

 Bella shut the door once Marie walked into the house and went back into the living room. 

"what does the rest of the house look like?" Marie questioned. 

"we have gotten most of it cleaned up" Hotch replied. 

"uh. I'll help out down here. Why dont you two go find some clothes for Marie" Scorpius suggested. 

"why? so you can have a make out session with your girlfriend" Bella growled shooting him a glare making him drop a vase in shock an look over at JJ with wide eyes. Marie snickered beside Bella in amusement. Bella huffed and lead Marie up the stairs. 

"i take it he didnt tell you?" Marie questioned. 

"no" bella said with a pout. "i had to find out by JJ just before she called him about this" Bella said pointing to her fox ears. 

"yes well, just be glad you are not going through this during the purge" Marie said as Bella opened up a door to a closet. 

"have at it" Bella said gesturing to the closet and walked over to the bed seeing a box sitting there. Looking it over she saw a note attached to it. She picked up the note and began reading it. 

~i know you want a break from us, but i couldn't help it. Here's something for you. just in case. H~

Bella set the note down puzzle, Picking up the box she pulled the top off of it. her eyes went wide seeing a choker like necklace laying innocently in the box. Bella bit her bottom lip nervously.

"Thats pretty, where did you get that?"

Bella jumped hearing Marie beside her and looked over at her mother. "it was...a gift" Bella said hesitantly. Marie was staring at the piece of jewelry. 

Bella looked her over. Marie had picked out a black leather out fit with a corset top.
(Outfit and accessories only)

"who ever it was that gave it to you must really like you" Marie said as she picked up the choker, "Dont you ever take this off" She said firmly as she fastened it around Bella's neck. 

Bella looked at her puzzled. "why not?" she asked confused. 

"this will protect you and not just from metal attacks, but other things as well, say you get hit by lightening...Im not saying that you would, but take it as an example. this would stop it from actually hitting you" Marie explained. 

Bella's eyes widened in shock. "it wont save you from everything though" Marie said warningly. "so dont be going off and getting shot or something, you can still get hurt by other things." she explained. 

"so, it protects me from..." Bella trailed off. Marie looked at her thoughtfully. 

"yes, it will protect you from the gods, but only if they are harmful." Marie replied with a nod. 

"how do you know so much?" bella asked looking at Marie hopeful. Marie looked at her thoughtfully. 

"you are not the only one who has been involved with the gods" Marie said with a sigh. Bella felt shock run right through her.  

"who" Bella asked softly. Marie looked away not wanting to answer but she did so reluctantly. 

"Zeus. it is why Hera and Demeter are so...bitter" Marie explained. Bella sat down on the bed slowly and stared in front of herself in shock. 

"b-but" Bella stammered out. 

"Demeter swore i had stolen her daughter from her when....i got pregnant. Zeus had sent Persephone away when he found out what Demeter and Hera were planning" Marie said looking over at Bella as she sat down beside her. 

"what were they planning" Bella choked out unsure if she had wanted to know the truth. Her mind swirled with so many thoughts that it was starting to give her a headache. 

"Demeter had planned to set Hades up. accuse him of stealing her daughter and forcing her into a marriage" Marie explained. Bella stared at Marie stunned. 

"Sh-she tried that....at the banquet" bella stammered out. "she thought i was persephone!" she said looking down with a shiver. "she was trying to hurt Hades" bella whispered. Of course she had known this. she didnt know why Demeter had so much hatred for the darker brother that Bella had fallen so hard for. 

"but why" she whispered as she began to tear up. 

"because Zeus and Hades were too close. and i suspect it was to get back at Zeus for me" Marie said with a shrug. 

"wait so...is Zeus..." Bella trailed off as horror shot through her. *oh god please no. please say no* she thought. 'you know it is, Marie only had three children and we both know Lily is nothing like Zeus' a voice in side of her spoke.

"Zeus...is your father"
