"I said no, Hades." Megara shook her head decisively, not even looking up from her clipboard. Down by her feet, Pain and Panic were massaging her insteps, sneaking an occasional look at the sight of their former boss groveling face-down in front of Megara's throne.
"But babe--" Hades tried again, arms beginning to hurt from being pressed against the rock for so long.
"And stop it with the pet names." Megara ordered him crisply. Hades was starting to think that she was power-tripping on being the one in charge of the Underworld now. After Hercules had ditched her, the woman had decided to step into the empty place left for the Ruler of the Underworld, citing her work with Hades as enough experience to know how to run the place.
And Hades had to admit, Megara was doing a good job of it, but that wasn't going to stop him from trying to get his old job back, or even any sort of administrative position under Megara that would let him work his way up!
Nothing was going to stop him, Hades had vowed. He'd beg if he had to!
And now, he was having to beg.
Through gritted teeth, he tried again, "Megara..."
Megara wasn't even paying attention to him. As far as she was concerned, Hades' pleas were just background noise.
