"Hey Athena." Aphrodite added. "Won't you back me up on this? Haven't you met Rex?"
"Only once." Athena replied. "When Rex came to me asking if I knew the location of Medea's Golden Fleece." She regarded Hera with calm eyes.
"And I can say for myself, Lady Hera, that when Rex talked with me, he showed no disrespect. In fact, both he and his wife were very respectful of me, and I was happy to help them."
"Yeah, but that was decades ago, Athena!" Hera cried. "Rex could've changed by now!"
"I literally just told you that he was fine!" Aphrodite replied, sounding legitimately exasperated, before facepalming. "So did Hermes!"
"The fact remains, wife." Ares spoke up, his voice naturally sounding over everyone else's.
"That Rex and his followers have taken residence on Greek soil, and are thus under our jurisdiction. If Moth-"
"AHEM." Hera cleared her throat loudly, and glared pointedly at Ares, who stiffened up and gulped.
"If Lady Hera," Ares corrected himself. "Wishes for them to leave, then they should do so."
"Oh, go shove a stick up your ass to replace the strap-on I used to like using." Aphrodite muttered, too quietly for anyone else but herself to hear. "It'd do you some good."
"I agree." Demeter spoke for the first time at this meeting. "In Lord Zeus' absence, Lady Hera's word is the law, which should be followed."
"You're such a stickler for rules, Demeter." Aphrodite muttered, as Apollon spoke up.
"That's true, Demeter. However, as Hermes and Aphrodite both said, Rex and Palutena aren't doing anything to try and harm the Greek Pantheon."
"Therefore, I don't think we should go and try and forcefully evict them from their home. Maybe we could opt for a more diplomatic approach?"
"What's this about a diplomatic approach?" a loud, booming voice sounded, and all ten deities looked up to the entrance of the conference room, which Zeus was walking through, Poseidon by his side.
All ten deities, as one, stood up and stopped talking as the King of the Greek Pantheon and his brother walked to their respective seats. Zeus sat down first, and motioned for the rest of the gods to sit down, which they silently did.
"Well?" Zeus spoke up, looking from deity to deity. All of whom remained silent until Hephaestus spoke up.
"My apologies, Lord Zeus. While you were away at the Temple of Amun, Lady Hera thought it best to call a meeting between us Gods to decide upon the issue regarding Hera's daughter and her husband."
Zeus sighed.
"Hera, how many times have I said this? You REALLY need to stop worrying about Rex and Palutena. They aren't doing anything to threaten our Pantheon, so in turn, no action will be taken against them."
"What about when they-?" Hera tried to answer back, but Zeus cut across her.
"IF they do anything that can be taken as an act against us, then we will react accordingly." he replied, a small section of his divine aura seeping out of his body from the annoyance he felt towards his wife.
Zeus still didn't know why he was still married to her.
"We will NOT overreact like you have a habit of doing." Zeus spoke firmly to Hera, before looking up at all the Gods in the room. "This meeting is dismissed."
Hera immediately got up from her seat and stormed out of the room, a sour look on her face.

FLASHBACK:
It was night-time in the Branwen Clan's territory of the Underworld, and several thousand Devils, most of whom were of the higher echelons of society.
Who tended to enjoy the nicer aspects of life, were sat in seats and looking down at the main portion of the arena, where two young Devils, whom Raven Branwen had taken under her wing as her apprentices, a highly coveted position.
As Raven was one of the most talented Devils, in terms of battle, that the supernatural world had ever known, would be doing battle as a show of their respective strengths.
In a portion of the arena that seemed to be sectioned off, there sat Raven Branwen, with her husband Fafnir, one of the Five Great Dragon Kings, next to her, Zeoticus and Venelana Gremory, Sirzechs Lucifer, Grayfia, Serafall, Ajuka, Fianna, and Willow Schnee, the Head of the Schnee Clan, an Extra Demon Clan that served the Satan Beelzebub in the past, and her husband, Jacques.
Fafnir was a very muscular-looking man in his mid-to-late twenties, with short, golden-blonde hair.
His eyes were a soul-sucking shade of purple, and he wore a black and gold trench coat, along with grey pants.
Willow Schnee was a very attractive, tall young woman, with a fair complexion, white hair and slate-blue eyes.
Her hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head, and her bangs were swept to the left side of her face.
Small curled locks of hair reached below her ears. She wore an extravagant blue dress.
Jacques Schnee had grey-white hair and a pale complexation. He had a large grey moustache, and his eyes were a cold blue colour.
He wore a pure-white double-breasted jacket with a red handkerchief in the breast pocket, underneath which he wore a blue shirt and vest, and a grey-white tie.
He also had a silver-coloured ring on his right hand.
Willow looked up when she felt someone lightly tapping her on the shoulder, and saw Zeoticus reaching his hand out.
"May the best Clan Heir win." he said. Willow gave a smile, and clasped Zeoticus' hand, shaking it.
"Yes." she replied. "May the best Clan Heir win."
Jacques scoffed at the interaction between his wife and the Gremory Clan's Heir, while turning to the center of the arena, where two individuals were walking out: his own daughter, Winter Schnee, and the grandson of Zeoticus and Venelana, the son of Sirzechs and Grayfia: Rex Gremory.
