Aphrodite had a sullen look on her face as she was escorted to the Hall of Zeus in Olympus...by Hepheastus, of all people! When she'd asked him how he'd found her, he mentioned some magic called 'GPS' and said that he had a list of all her lovers for the past several years. Bothersome troll...it's not HER fault she was the most beautiful, talented, gifted, etc etc etc woman of the ages! He should be glad she even favored him with a glance, the wretched hunchback!
Still, it wouldn't be too bad...she'd just sweet talk Zeus and all would be forgiven...like always.
She stepped into the council chamber and her blood froze as she saw Hera sitting next to her leige.
Oh....fuck.
She was in for it now.
Still, there was a radiant smile on her face as she gracefully bowed low before her King and Queen. "My Lord and Lady...it is a pleasure to be in Olympus once again to partake of your divine wisdom. And my Queen, may I say how lovely you loo..."
"Silence, bitch," the matronly beauty snarled.
Yes, this was not going to be pleasant. At all.
"Forgive my wife," regal Zeus tutted. "Events have come to pass that have put all of us on edge."
"Events, my Lord?"
All of the other assembled gods rolled their eyes except for him. "Extend your sight beyond Olympus, beauteous one...and gaze upon your favorite Diana, Princess of the Amazons."
The disapproval of the others meant nothing to her but she did as she was asked, closing her eyes. After all, there was a connection between them since she'd gifted Diana at birth with...with...
Her brow furrowed. "It...it's not there, my liege! It's as if my blessing to her was never made...and...the other Amazons! By Olympus!"
Zeus nodded. "A being from outside our reality has come here to make this her home. She would change everything to be a reflection of her image, including our servants."
"AND us," Hera added.
Hermes, messenger of the gods, appeared next to her. "A force is assembling to oppose this threat. The Council of the Gods, in their wisdom, has decided to support these defenders by sending aid."
The ravishing blonde couldn't help but smirk. "And pray tell what fool has been given the 'honor' of representing us?"
Hera leaned forward with a shark-like grin. "Guess."
Aphrodite squeaked back, "Me? But my Queen, I...I am no warrior!"
"Which is why we are sending noble Athena and cunning Diana to accompany you," Zeus replied smoothly.
Athena strode up next to the goddess of beauty. "Not that we were at all worried that you would try to avoid your duty...."
"...though I'd be able to find you no matter where you fled," the huntress added, also flanked the blonde.
Looking as if she was swallowing vinegar, Aphrodite bowed. "It seemed...you have thought of everything, my Lord. I...will go to this meeting as your representative."
"THEN BE OFF WITH YOU!" In a puff of smoke, the threesome disappeared....

In the Phantom Zone, Thanos couldn't help but smile a bit as his 'guests' arrived in the Ghost Zone, former home of the Justice League enemy Prometheus. Only those with a special dimensional 'key' were able to enter it, furnished by another Justice League foe. While he was sure it wouldn't keep Superia from coming here in person if she desired, he hoped it would at least grant them privacy to plan as they needed.
"Welcome!", he declared as the Olympians, last on his list, arrived. "I will assume that all of you know me...or know OF me. Likewise, I assume that each of you are learned enough to recognize the others here. I hope that impresses upon each of you the gravity of this threat we now face. Our foe is unlike any this universe has faced before...and thus we must counter it with a force unlike any before."
"I'll not do anything with this...this...pretender!", Morgan le Fay hissed angrily, pointing at the armored witch next to her.
Morgiane snarled as she raised her hands, magic energy sparking angrily. "Bitch! I'll use your worthless life to restore my vigor and beauty!"
Circe sneered at the both of them. "How about I turn each of you into something quiet?"
"SILENCE!!!" Thanos' voice boomed in the pocket dimension, powerful enough to make everyone wince in pain. "Your petty disagreements can wait! This threat would consume ALL of us! On your own, each of you would be helpless, turned into obedient puppets whose only thoughts would be of carnal love for Superia!" He nodded to Moondragon who pushed a mental image onto each of them where they knelt at the extra-dimensional beauty's feet, kissing her toes lovingly then moving up her legs to end up lapping mindlessly at her sex.
He waited for the varying reactions of revulsion, disbelief, and denial to die down before he continued. "Rest assured that fate awaits each and every one of you unless we work together...and even then our victory would be far from certainty." Though there were grumbles, no one could deny the truth of his words.
Thanos looked over the crowd of beauties before him. "The basics of my plan are simple. All of those assembled here except for me are women...and have either the strength of will or divine temprament to resist casual indoctrination. We must gather all of those converted to her cause and transport them to the newly created Femiza...where she and her followers will be sealed into their own pocket dimension, one something like the famed Phantom Zone except for the fact that it also has no time within it. Her subjects can never die, entropy will never take hold, and thus she cannot use their energies to escape as we're assuming she does to evade Death herself. She will be trapped forever."
Zatanna stepped up. "But those are our friends...our comrades. We can't condemn them to that sort of an existence!"
Athena strode her, shaking her head. "Your loyalty does Diana credit...but she is your friend no longer. Neither is she your enemy...all you are to her is a potential convert. You are less than nothing to her and she is beyond redemption."
"And remember," Thanos declared as he took a seat, "leaving even one of her worshippers behind gives her a possible escape route. We will need to make sure all of them are sealed away...in some fashion. Now, let us discuss the particulars of the plan...."
