Very nice addition to this quickly progressing story. I loved the interactions between both Herc and Iolaus and especially between Xena and Gabrielle. Very heart touching scene. I hope that it brings them all a little peace.

I love Ares answer to Strife's little joke. But with the damage done as far as Hercules and Gabrielle sleeping together. Xena and Ioalus will have to deal with the aftermath of their friendship. It will take them all down a road of awarness and trust. I'm sure Gabrielle is embarrased at the situation and Hercules will have to live with the fact he slept with a friend. :D

"Strife…Take a nap.”—that’s so Ares!:) Gabrielle’s confused, Hercules can’t remember, and Xena’s angry! And it’s all Ares’ fault, or will be! Just wait till she catches up with the God of War—she’ll show him a thing or three!

And things get more interesting. Angry finger nail scratches?... maybe Gabrielle has some Klingon blood? lol.

Good emotion here. I liked how Xena went after Hercules. After the past that she and Herc had, and then the idea of someone hurting Gabrielle... it was too much for her. You know someone needed to become a punching bag. Good work, I look forward to seeing the next part and learning about the fallout of all this.

Well, this is an unexpected plot-line! What can the explanation possibly be? No wonder Xena’s showing signs of a state of denial! This could be the start of a really good tale!

You just love being naughty. hehehe Gabriele and Hercules is one thing, but to get drunk and tear up a whole town, without any knowledge on how and why. Certainly Xena was surprised more at the fight than the both of them in bed. Hopefully some answers will come forth soon. :D

Interesting start to what seems to be a very promising story. Certainly an unusual situation that Gabrielle and Hercules have gotten into. Many questions here that are begging for answers... I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this story.
