Tick tock, tick tock, what in Mount Olympus was taking him so long? Hades had given what he considered to be completely clear and simple instructions and if there was anything that all the underworld should know, it was that the Lord of the Dead did not like to be kept waiting. It seemed all of his minion were completely useless however. Useless, pathetic wastes of space. And and even his newer allies- oh, sure, it was nice to have a few like minded associates, but villains could be so whiny. There had been completely selfish gains in releasing them all of course but that didn't mean he planned on doing too many favors. He had his own agenda to take care of, and the first thing on the list was getting someone who could follow a simple order without screwing everything up.
What he needed was someone who was capable, someone who was indifferent to what was going on, and most important, someone who would be completely wrapped around his fingers. Someone like Meggy had been, before she blew it of course, falling in love with the first pair of legs that got in their way. Oh, he didn't need her. There were plenty of other fish in the see. Red fish, blue fish, big fish, little fish; and right now he was setting his pole to microscopic. Neverland had very recently appeared on the map for him and he'd learned about a few of its inhabitants through some "small talk" with what was very possibly the poorest excuse for a pirate he'd ever seen (bested by a child? mind him, he was still laughing) Now he had one of his minions fetching him a pixie. Which, apparently was an excruciatingly challenging task.
When the underworld creature finally did return (and Hades very generously restrained himself from lighting him on fire) he held up the satchel containing what had to be cute personified to the most repulsive extent. "Finally! Here I was thinking I might have to tell everyone that that itty bitty thing there go the best of you. Not that I don't think its possible." He snatched the bag and opened up, looking over her without the mesh. She was as un-threatening as they came. He grinned broadly at her. The third party took the chance to make his leave. Luckily, for him, Hades wanted him gone. "You, look - at - you. Names Hades, Lord of the Dead. Aplogies for the bumpy ride and terrible company. I'd have gone to you myself but it is SO hard to find someone to take over down here these days."

Tink was horribly offended. She'd been having a wonderful time flying around playing hide-and-seek with Peter when all of a sudden, out of absolutely nowhere, everything went dark. She then realized that she was enclosed in something- a sack of some kind, perhaps? Either way, she'd been captured for some reason, and she wasn't about to go without a fight.
Which basically meant she struggled and pounded at the sack, trying desperately to escape, until finally, it was opened. Angrily she began yelling and shaking her fist at the person who opened it, some strange looking guy with fire for hair. He looked a bit amused and hardly bothered by all this, which only angered the little pixie more. She let out every fairy curse word she could think of, not realizing that this man, unlike Peter, probably couldn't understand what she was saying. She was too angry at him to think of anything else.
Hades. That's what he called himself. Tink stopped yelling at his face for a few moments to listen to what he was saying. Lord of the Dead? What did someone like that want with a Neverland fairy? She just wanted to get back to Peter...
Peter. That was right, he probably thought she was still there, hiding from him. What if he got worried looking for her? Oh, no... she needed to get back to Neverland! Whatever this guy wanted, she didn't care. Lord of the Dead, or of the Living, or of the Mermaids, she didn't care. She didn't want anything to do with him. She stuck her tongue out at him rudely to prove that point before starting to fly away angrily. There was no way he was going to keep her captive down here, no matter what the reason! |

Hades couldn't help but laugh. Here there was this itty bitty teeny little pixie, throwing a tiny temper tantrum at him. He had no idea what she was raving on about, oh but she was doing it in the most entertaining way possible. That's why he didn't make any move to stop her until she stuck her tongue out and started trying to fly away from him. He was tempted to just let her get lost flying around the underworld trying to find her way out, maybe even find himself a slightly more submissive pixie, but instead decided to stop her just a few yards away. It wasn't like entertainment like this showed up at his doorstep often. He fully intended on making the most of it.
A second later he appeared directly in front of her, grabbing her mid-air and holding her up at eye level. "Now, is that any way to behave as a guest? Really I thought being a fairy and all you'd be a little more.. poised? civil? I have to warn you, the last person I talked to with an attitude like you're did not come out a happy camper." Not the most accurate of statements, but what she didn't know he could easily threaten her with. "Now why don't we try this again."
Though he waited for her to respond, he hadn't put much consideration into this whole language barrier problem. And he was very quickly tired of talking to himself. Hades contemplated a moment before letting her go, only to watch her size grow to human proportions and her feet touch the ground- well, and the rest of her body. Sometimes he thought his brothers forgot that they weren't the only ones who could grant a change in... status. "You might experience dizziness while, loss of appetite, consciousness, blah blah blah. I would not recommend operating any heavy machinery." He walked back to his seat again, sure she wouldn't be getting away any time soon. Eying her once again he commented, "I have to say, the other look suited you better. But this one has a few obvious advantages. Hmm. What d'ya think?" Before she could speak he had a mirror appear in front of her. |

So it turned out the ruler of the Underworld, or whatever this guy was calling himself, wasn't lying. He seemed to have some kind of power, at least, that enabled him to prevent her from leaving. It was almost as if he just appeared there- no, what was she thinking, he did appear there, out of nowhere. And he grabbed her right out of the air, holding her to his eyes so he could look at her while he was talking to her. Tink, being Tink, looked off to the side and refused to make eye contact. She most certainly was not going to try anything again. She was going to go back to Neverland right this instant!
And that is exactly what she'd planned on doing when he let her go. Emphasis on the past tense. Because when he did, something strange happened. She felt a bit odd, and all of a sudden Hades was getting smaller and smaller- no, wait- she was getting bigger and bigger! She now stood at approximately five feet (and a few inches, probably) tall, as opposed to almost five inches tall. As she looked in awe at her hands, her feet, felt her back where there was a strange absence of wings, Hades began talking again, and eventually, a mirror popped up in front of her. Now, no matter whose mirror it was, Tink was never one to refuse a look at herself in one.
As she gazed at herself, seeing the lack of wings on her back, her height, her human size... a small gasp escaped her lips. A... human gasp. It sounded human. Her eyes narrowed at Hades, and she folded her arms, waiting for the catch. But wasn't this what she had wanted? How did he know? She was torn between feeling elation and between feeling suspicious, and now that she was in this human body, she was able to feel more than one emotion at once, and- it was so strange, foreign to her even. She felt a little less sturdy on these human feet, a bit less dainty without her wings to balance her. Though her eyes were still trained on the mirror, fixated on the image presented to her, a small part of her warned her of the dangers that may lie ahead. But, Tink being Tink, she didn't listen. |

Oh-ho! Not only did turning her into a human keep her from flying away, apparently he'd struck a tiny little nerve- and then engrossed it to epic proportions. This wasn't new. it wasn't even surprising really. You always want what you can't have. Dead want to live. Short want to grow. Yadda yadda yadda circle of life. He rolled his eyes at the gasp that escaped her lips, hiding his annoyance only so he could continue to cajole her. "Come on now. You can complain out loud and that's all you have to say. Not that you should be complaining of course. I'll take your appreciation in the form of a 'thank you'."
With a little pop the mirror disappeared and he was again standing in front of her. "Now we go back and forth and play games down here. I've got a lot of time. Trust me. But lets cut to the chase fast, alright? I can turn you into a human, I can turn you into a pixie, I can turn you into an elephant if i wanted to, but that's besides the point. Obviously, you like being like this. What d'ya say we make the change a little more permanent? I can send you back where you came from, right now, as you are, no strings attached. Actually, let's make it wherever you want to go."
Was he going to do it? Of course not. Not for free anyway. But he was definitely willing lay his good hand out on the table. He didn't get what it was it with this 'human' thing that had so much appeal anyway. Still, if taking her powers could be considered the icing on this bargain he was happy to comply. This had gone far easier than he expected. |
