Tet had caught up with Hestia and Vesta as they arrived at Vesta's house, if you could call it that. Hestia stepped inside, eyes wide, and said, "This is where you live?"
Vesta looked away, cheeks burning in embarrassment, and said, "I don't really have money…"
Hestia crossed her arms with a stubborn frown and said, "Well, you're not living in that." She paused, thinking for a moment, before her face brightened. "Oh, I know! You can come live with us. We have plenty of room. You'll love it there."
Vesta blinked, hope rising in her voice as she said, "Really?"
Hestia beamed and said, "Absolutely."
Tet watched the two, rubbing his temple with a sigh as he said, "A lot of decisions are being made without my input lately."
Hestia wrapped herself around Tet's arm with a warm smile and said, "Dear, let's go set her up a room. We need to go back and build a home for our familia anyway."
Vesta shyly wrapped herself around Tet's other arm, and the thoroughly embarrassed Tet said, "Okay… I can get used to this," before teleporting them back to his realm.

In Tet's realm, Vesta gazed around with sparkling, awestruck eyes.
Hestia gently touched her shoulder and said, "You can have the room next to me and Tet in the main house."
Tet nodded and said, "Why don't you show her around, dear? I'll go take care of some things." He gave a small wave as he teleported out.

Now sitting on Hecate's couch, Tet waited patiently. In a roar of flame, Hecate suddenly appeared, glaring as she said, "Who dares trespass in my—"
She froze mid-sentence. Some instinct deeper than fear made her recognize Tet for what he truly was. Her voice died, her eyes widening in absolute terror as she stared at God with a capital G.
Tet leaned back casually and said, "I'm gonna say this once. You and the other gods that sided with Kronos stand down immediately and I won't wipe you out of existence. Kay?"
Hecate quickly nodded, trembling, and said, "Yes, Lord. I'll tell them."
Tet offered a brief nod. "Good. As a reward for your quick compliance, I'll make sure you all get cabins at Camp Half Blood. And there might be room for you in my pantheon. But try anything like this again, and I will look for a new goddess of magic. Do I make myself clear?"
Hecate swallowed hard and said, "Crystal, my Lord."
Tet's expression sharpened. "Oh, and one more thing. Where is Kronos now?"
Hecate steadied herself enough to answer, "On the Queen Andromeda. We were able to bring him back much faster since we got the Fleece, but he's still recuperating."
Tet nodded once. "Good. I expect to see you at the meeting next week. Don't be late."
He teleported out, and Hecate collapsed to the floor in pure relief.

Tet appeared on the deck of the Queen Andromeda. Seeing all the monsters crowding around, he cupped his hands and called, "Jibril, come here, girl, come on."
In a flash of light, the poor flügel materialized and said, "Lord Tet, I was having lunch…"
Tet rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, I'll send you to a festival with free food and drinks after we're done here, so quit whining."
Jibril's wings fluttered in excitement as she said, "You mean it?"
Tet shrugged. "Yeah. Just kill all the monsters on this ship and tie up all the half-bloods."
Jibril snapped to attention and said, "Yes sir!" She immediately took off, annihilating every monster unlucky enough to cross her path.
Tet followed at a leisurely pace until he reached the captain's quarters. He pushed the doors open to find the cracked, glowing golden form of Kronos huddled under the Fleece.
Kronos lifted his head and snarled, "Who the fuck are you?"
Tet stepped inside with a calm smile and said, "Oh, just the ruler of this multiverse."
Kronos squinted, getting a clearer look at Tet… and his rage turned to raw panic. "No… no, no, no! Why would you come for me personally? My actions should be beneath your notice!"
Tet shrugged casually. "You'd think, right? But unfortunately, you're my fiancée's dad, and she hates you and wants you gone. So this is happening."
With a snap of his fingers, Tet restored Kronos to full health, then dragged him out of the cabin. Another snap created a massive arena on the deck of the ship. He tossed Kronos inside, along with his weapon.
"You only get one chance to live," Tet said. "Defeat my fighter, and I'll let you go."
Kronos regained his balance and said, "Who is your fighter? A demigod?"
Tet laughed loudly. "Oh no. A god slayer."
He snapped his fingers again, and a massive gray stone door with runic etchings appeared. The doors opened, and a tall, beautiful woman stepped out. Wine-colored hair flowed down her back, crimson eyes sharp and predatory. She wore a full purple bodysuit and carried a long crimson spear.
She looked around with mild curiosity and said, "Where am I?"
Tet smirked. "The middle of the ocean. That's Kronos. Kill him, and I'll give you whatever you want within reason."
Kronos panicked further. "Even with such a reward, no mortal would willingly face a divine being—"
A sudden, sharp pain tore through Kronos's shoulder. He stared down at the spear embedded in him.
Scathach, already pulling out another spear, stepped forward. "Prepare to die, Titan," she said, and rushed toward him.
The fight between Scathach and Kronos did not last long at all. Kronos himself wasn't much of a fighter, especially when facing someone who had mastered every form of weapon combat in existence and knew runic spells that would make even gods of magic run away in terror. Scathach easily countered his every attack, her movements sharp and precise, and when he tried to use his trump card, controlling time itself, she simply strung together a runic sequence that made her completely unaffected by it.
Watching Kronos get his ass handed to him, Tet crossed his arms and said, "I've gotta stop going with heroic spirits. I keep forgetting they basically have the power of gods themselves, and the gods in their world make the ones here look weak in comparison."
After a few more moments, Kronos was dead, and Scathach approached Tet with calm, controlled steps.
Tet let out a sigh and said, "That was anticlimactic as hell. But then again, it was always gonna be. Honestly, even in the original timeline Kronos' defeat was kind of lame." He shifted his gaze toward her. "Anyway, a deal's a deal. What do you want?"
Scathach stood tall, her crimson eyes steady as she said, "I wish to start my life over."
Tet blinked, taken aback, and said, "You? The great God Slayer, the Witch of Dun Scaith, arguably the greatest warrior in existence… want to be reincarnated?"
Scathach nodded solemnly and said, "I have already reached the mountain's peak, and rather than wait for someone to share it with, I'd rather go back to the bottom and start climbing all over again."
Tet rubbed the back of his head with a wry smile and said, "And all this time I thought you wanted to die so you wouldn't be bound to the Land of Shadows anymore."
Scathach softened slightly and said, "That too. But you already let me out of there, so it's no longer a factor."
Tet exhaled and said, "Okay, but it will take a moment for me to find ideal conditions for your rebirth."
Scathach folded her arms patiently and said, "That's fine."
Tet held out his hand and said, "Alright, here we go." As his power flared, Scathach dissolved into nothing but a glowing soul orb, which hovered briefly before drifting down into his palm. Tet closed his fingers gently around it and put it away for later.
He walked across the ship to find a bunch of half-bloods tied up and a smiling Jibril waiting to be praised. Jibril's wings fluttered with pride, her eyes practically sparkling as she waited for approval. Tet reached out, petted her head, and said, "Good girl, Jibril. Here's your treat."
He opened a portal to Orario, and Jibril happily flew into it, only to poke her head back out with an indignant puff of her cheeks and say, "Wait, I'm not a dog."
Tet immediately pulled out a spray bottle, pointing it at her with slow, dramatic menace. Jibril went, "Eep!" and dove back into the portal at full speed. Once it closed, Tet let the bottle vanish and strolled over to the half-bloods.
He looked them over, his expression softening a little, and said, "Alright, you guys are going back to camp, but I promise things will be different this time. You'll have cabins of your own."
Tet snapped his fingers. "There. They've been built." His tone grew gentler. "I'll be coming by sometime in the future to improve the facilities, but for now… see you later."
With a casual flick of his hand, he teleported them all to Camp Half-Blood.
----
Back in his realm, Tet tiredly entered his home. He walked into the slightly dark living room, and upon seeing Hestia sitting on the couch, he drifted over and laid down across her thighs, wrapping his arms around her waist. A soft sigh escaped him as he settled in.
A sharp "ahem" cut through the quiet, and the lights flicked on. Tet blinked and looked up, only to see Hestia staring at him with clear annoyance.
Hestia spoke, her eyebrow twitching as she tapped a finger against the armrest. "Wrong one, dear."
Tet's eyes widened. He slowly tilted his head straight up, dread creeping in, and found himself clinging to a very embarrassed Vesta, whose cheeks glowed like embers.
"Oh no," Tet muttered.
Hestia sat down on the couch beside them with a huff. She grabbed him by the collar, pulled him firmly against her chest, and fixed him with a flat stare. "I'm slightly annoyed that you got us mixed up but I guess I should have expected it. Now apologize to Vesta."
Tet, ears burning, glanced toward Vesta. "My bad Vesta."
Vesta looked away, flustered, her fingers curling into the fabric of her dress. "Oh no problem I didn't mind it"
Seeing her reaction.Hestia gained a sly smirk, leaning closer and murmuring under her breath, her eyes sparkling with intent. "Oh what's this."
Hestia's eyes narrowed with sudden intent. With a deceptively sweet smile, she said, "Vesta let's have a talk." She stood up without waiting for a reply, grabbed Vesta gently but firmly by the wrist, and dragged the flustered goddess into the other room.
Left alone, Tet stared after them. "I wonder what that's about," he muttered. With a shrug that showed he absolutely did not want to think too hard, he stretched out across the couch, curled up comfortably, and drifted into a nap.
----
Meanwhile, in the other room, Hestia leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, studying Vesta closely. Her tone was light, but her eyes were sharp. "Do you like my fiancee."
Vesta stiffened, fidgeting with her sleeves as her cheeks warmed. "I want to lie and say no because we just became friends and I don't want to mess that up."
Hestia shrugged, surprisingly relaxed, her ponytail swaying. "It's fine I get it."
Vesta blinked, confused. "You what."
Hestia smiled softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "I've been attracted to Tet since we met part of it is his natural charm and the other part is that our divinities click perfectly which is probably why your already falling for him despite only knowing him for a day or two."
Vesta's voice dropped to a whisper, her face turning red. "And your okay with it."
Hestia let out a tired sigh, her expression shifting to something honest and thoughtful. "If it was anyone but another version of me I'd be furious but you don't even feel like a different person you feel like the twin I never had and while I have faith Tet would never cheat on me making another me his second wife would only ensure he won't have eyes for anyone else especially since we look almost exactly the same the only difference being our hair and eyes and taste in clothing."
Vesta frowned, crossing her arms defensively. "What's wrong with white and blue."
Hestia looked away with a smile. "Oh nothing it's fine it's just not very mature."
Vesta huffed, pointing at both of them skeptically. "What part of us looks mature."
Hestia slowly pointed at both their chests with a deadpan expression.
Vesta stared, paused, and sighed in resignation. "Fair enough."
She hesitated, her voice softer. "Are you sure your okay with this."
Hestia rolled her shoulders, sounding utterly exhausted. "Okay with it I'm working full time to prevent the rise of a second Zeus having back up is something I'm thrilled about."
Vesta straightened up, determination sparking in her eyes. "Okay then guess I'm gonna start being more forward with Tet."
Hestia grinned and said. "Please do he does not pick up on subtle signals it took him a year to ask me out."
With that, the two goddesses walked back toward the living room, their steps matching in a strangely natural rhythm, like two halves of a whole.
(Authors Note:Yeah I'm moving forward with double Hestia and no there won't be a harem of hestia's just these two )
