Chapter 20

"Please leave."

"Well now, I don't think I have ever been rejected quite abruptly like this since that time I tried to use my dashing looks on the fetching warrior Penthesilea; and I had actually slept with her sister!" The Prince of Power said boisterously before throwing his head back and laughed.

"Hercules, I don't want to be as rude as certain someone…" Angel tried to interfere while giving a pointed glare to his visored leader. "…but I have to agree with Scott, this is not exactly the best place for you to be at the moment." The winged X-Man said, hoping to convince the demigod before he did something stupid.

Which was far more stupid than most things Hercules did, Amadeus had learned that the hard way.

"Nonsense, friend Angel! We have a common enemy in the form of Norman Osborn, the possessor of the ugliest haircut in New York, and the Lion of Olympus would never leave his friends at the mercy of a mutual enemy!"

"We are not at the mercy of him." Emma Frost, calm down Amadeus Jr., said with a glare as she planted a hand to her hip; looking like a teacher that was about to be admonishing a jock. Which was weird since Hercules could never pass enough grades to obtain the status of a jock.

"Not to mention that there is another reason that we are here." And he proved that by ignoring the very dangerous telepath without a second thought. Guess there was no reason for him to fear telepaths without anything inside that gray lump of jelly that was supposed to be his brain.

"I know that the sons of Hulk are here, mostly because I met them very briefly while entering your school, and I wish to get to know of the children of my dear jolly green friend!" Hercules declared, making everyone give him weirded out looks; even Amadeus did. Sure; the young genius respected Hulk more than any other hero, even if the buffoon beside him was earning more and more of his respect every day, but even he wouldn't call the Strongest One There Is 'jolly'.

"How did you even learn about those two?" The leader of the X-Men asked with a sigh, something Amadeus was happy to answer.

"I had tools that picked up the raising gamma signatures in the country. So I just hacked into a camera in one of the choppers, we kinda did lose the signal when the gray one put all the choppers down though." He admitted with a shrug and then the conversation was picked up by Hercules once more.

"But young Amadeus here hacked into the communication line between Richards and Norman after that. Speaking of which, please guide me to the gray child; I wish to offer him a drink for the amazing burn, as I believe it's called these day, he gave to that vile villain!" The demigod declared with a wide smile.

"I heard myself get mentioned." Speak of the devil and he shall appear, the gray son of Hulk walked into the room with his arms crossed behind his back. "And for your information, my name is Kala; Hiro Kala."

"'Hero' you say? Truly a name worthy of your blood and your words against the Norman!" Heracles said with a laugh and Amadeus could only sigh before poking the demigod in order to get his attention.

"He said 'Hiro', with an 'I'." He explained to the simpleton who looked at him with confusion before, finally, he realized his mistake.

"Umm, yes. Yes, I already knew that young Amadeus! This was merely a jest, an Olympian joke! Hahahahaha!" The son of Zeus tried to save some of his dignity, which failed spectacularly much like most other things he attempted to do.

"More importantly, well met Hiro Kala!" Hercules said with a smile as he offered his hand to the son of Hulk who took it with a smile.

"Well met indeed, it is rather nice to see a more friendly rival of my father after the utter disappointment with the overgrown fish." He said with a smile, which froze Hercules' smile.

"Overgrown fish?" Amadeus asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We were attacked, not long before the two of you came here, by the Abomination." Scott said with a sigh, getting wide eyed looks from the brain and brawn duo. Though the brawn got a hold of himself faster.

"Then your reaction is justified Kala, for I definitely am a far more pleasant company than one as dull as the Abomination." He bragged.

"But we have gone far off from the original conversation. Young Amadeus and I wish to help you X-Men against Osborn and his fake Avengers and his ridiculous hair." He then continued, once more trying to get the X-Men to accept his help.

"Hercules, we are flattered that you want to help us this much. But you do remember that you are a wanted fugitive right now, right? You definitely should be helping yourself more than us." Angel tried to deter the demigod from his cause with words, proving once more that he was quite below Amadeus when it came to intellect.

"Please, you guys will be considered just as bad the moment you guys finally retaliate against Osborn. That moment will also be when the bastard comes after you all with his fake Avengers, who include Ares the god of war. Someone Herc here is quite talented at battling." Amadeus tried to sell their point. He knew that the current roster of the mutant team did not have anyone that could beat Ares in a one on one fight. They could overwhelm him with numbers though. But that brought them to the last point in Amadeus and Hercules' favor.

"Not to mention you guys will need all the help you can get against Norman's golden mascot, Sentry." And with that mention of the man, who held the power of million exploding suns, Amadeus knew...

"...I guess we can use some help." He was once more the victor in a battle of words.
