"You know this is absolutely pathetic. Is this the best you can really do? That's sad."
Hades faced the "evil" necromancer that had apparently been terrorizing graveyards and bring people back to life and attacking towns. Hades gets a little ticked off when people mess with his subjects. Especially without the proper paperwork and forms to raise them from the grave. It was just inconsiderate and annoying, which honestly was the only reason why Hades took the opportunity of dealing with his problem for the initiative. He was honestly unimpressed at all the people that tried to take his job. Every time he had summoned a soldier Hades would just produce a shadow tendril and crush the soldier before it could even move. The necromancer was getting tired and exhausted and Hades hadn't even moved from his spot at the middle of the graveyard.
"WHO ARE YOU!" The villain cried out, panic setting in his voice. Pathetic really. It was almost boring.

 They'd told him there was a necromancer, some magician raising the dead. Apparently, there was already one of the Initiative's heroes handling it, but just to be safe, they were dispatching Apollo too. They'd asked him politely enough that Apollo figured he may as well go.
Apollo traveled as light. He was in Kingsport one moment, but it took only a fraction of a second to make it to the coordinates the Initiative had provided him. In the distance, he heard a voice crying out in panic.
In a flash, Apollo followed the sound of the voice to a graveyard. Apollo alighted down from the sky, an arrow of concentrated light rapidly forming in his hand. He drew it back, aiming at--aiming at who, exactly?
"Uncle?" Apollo asked in surprise.
He lowered the arrow because he wasn't going to shoot his uncle, even if that'd be doing the world a favor. "Why art thou here?"

The mans scream in panic which delighted Hades more than anything. In a matter of seconds Hades closed the gap between them with on of his tendrils and it wrapped itself around his throat and lifted him in the air. It suffocated him but only wrapped tights enough that it would lift him up and choke him but he was still slightly breathing. Most likely he would pass out but he still continued to squirm and gasp for air. Suddenly a voice called behind him which made Hades turn only to see another Olympian on the field. It was no other than his nephew, Apollo, shinning brightly from the skies holding an arrow at him.
"Ahhh nephew" He said turning to face his nephew. One of Zeus's many....children. Hades wasn't too sure what he asked him because he insisted in talking in that ridiculous fashion. However he wasn't here to start any bad blood between him and the rest of the Olympians. Not yet anyway. "Ahhhh well you see the uhm... what are they called? Initiation? Intuition? Anywho, they sent me here to handle a bug problem and here I am. Stopping evil. Aren't you proud of me nephew?" A mischevous smirk etched across Hades's face as he conversed with his nephew. The man still beind held up by one of Hades tendrils continued to gasp for air and squirm as Hades seemingly forgot that he was even there.

Apollo pulled to a halt, lingering in the air with a picturesque halo of light about him and a less picturesque expression of total confusion.
He regarded the necromancer. At first, he'd sworn the necromancer was a man in need of help, but it only took a glance to discern the evil of the man.
He regarded Hades, who looked more or less the same as Apollo remembered him. They weren't close, which is to say that Apollo sought out any excuse he could to avoid visiting the Underworld.
Softly, because he knew it looked odd in the modern age to ask questions of fate itself in everyday life, Apollo asked, "Doth Hades speak the truth?" He felt the answer take form on his mouth, and he sighed as he spoke it. "Aye."
Apollo landed before Hades and managed a respectably filial smile.
"Know that I am ever proud to call you mine uncle," Apollo said, and it would seem true were it not for the wariness in his stance. In fact, it wasn't even untrue. As far as embarrassing relatives went, Hades hardly topped the list. He was just the most disturbing of his extended family, which is negligible compared to, say, being Zeus. "Though your answer begets yet more questions. I had not expected thee to work... for or with the Initiative. They made no mention of thee to me."

Apollo had always been a troublesome Olympian for Hades. For starters his ability to detect the future and truth has always been a pain for Hades who always lied and always had a scheme. However he wasn't lying this time. He obviously wasn't telling the whole truth but no doubt he wasn't lying. but he had to stay calm with Apollo. He had to be careful not to giveaway too many things. Hades was in it for the long game and his ploys would not end here.
"Well first off nephew, I did not inform them that I am Hades god of the underworld. It doesn't necessarily make a good resume if you know what I mean. Plus then everyone always asks to see their loved ones and it just becomes so tedious. I hope you understand my little secret nephew" Hades said taking a seat on the ground."As to why well.... they have good health benefits and an amazing retirement plan! Did you see the pamphlet at orientation?! ' Hades joked with the smirk on his face. That same annoying smirk he always had. At this point the man that he had apprehended was getting closer to dying. Hades had even forgotten that he was strangling the man with one his tendrils and he stayed suspended a few feet off the ground squirming and gasping for air.
"So what about you nephew? What brings you down to the lowly earth from your comfortable cloud in olympus? Daddy grounded you for a decade again?"Hades teased once more.

Apollo noted that Hades still hadn't told him why the God of the Underworld was not currently in the Underworld. He would prophesize if he thought he could get an answer, and he might try later when Hades wasn't around. He considered it rude to scry the truthworthiness of others in their presence.
"...I shan't claim that I understand anything about thee, try though I might, but I pray thou might proclaim thine identity to the Initiative someday." Did the Initiative really not know? Do people with power on Hades' calibre really just walk up and join their cause, and there are no questions asked? On second thought, that was more or less how things went when Apollo joined the Initiative too.
He sighed, because even at ten thousand years later, Apollo wouldn't call it grounding, but it happened on occasion usually involving one of them cockblocking the other. "Not this time, uncle."
Apollo regarded the necromancer, not sure if Hades intended to kill him. Just in case, he channeled the light around them into repairing the necromancer's lungs and airways so that he might not die yet. Apollo didn't care enough to assuage the necromancer's pain. "A fortnight thence, I spoke prophecy of danger on Earth, thus I sought out my sister here. The Initiative found me before I found her, which is... almost impressive, if I thought it was skill rather than happenstance."
The necromancer gargled something off to the side.
"Pray tell, art thou intend to prolong his death? T'is a fair bit cruel."
