"-Over tens of thousands of property damage, but lives saved from the heroic efforts of Iron Giant and Ruth! America's favored pair!"
CNN, running a news story on the hottest topic for the past several years. That being the emergence of what the press referred to as the New Olympians. The ancient era of the Greek Heroes and larger-then-life figures, reborn in the here and now as the screen showed an image of the two. One, a technological giant standing at twenty feet easily- a relic of World War II. The other, his cyborg sidekick and advanced descendant, the perky and sweet android they called Ruth, human sized. Making the peace sign as she hugged her partner, the robots were merely two of a vast number of others who seemed to be popping up all over the world. Truly, it was a new age and an exciting one.
For a given value of excitement as the story continued.
"-While officially not confirmed, rumors persist of this being the work of terrorist organization, SPYDER: Its leader having vanished more then fifty years ago to the day, after fighting his arch-nemesis the Paragon. We'll keep you updated, after the break."
With an audible click, Lucifer turned off the television and frowned...Getting up, he looked himself in the mirror, made sure his bow tie for his tuxedo was alright and without a further word, left his cabin... Interesting as news of his contemporaries were? This wasn't what he was here for. And stepping out onto the deck, he looked out briefly upon the sea before heading out to the main deck, where the dance was taking place.
Welcome to the cruise ship Aphrodite.
