*He sighed and leaned back.*
"I think...that I will be totally impotent in this fight then."

*Malefica placed herself on his lap and embraced him lovingly. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and looked warmly into his eyes with her beautiful doe-eyes. Her voice was soft as she spoke to him.*
"Impotent, you? Oh, Icarus. I don't want you to doubt yourself. You can fight anything you want to fight. You are the strongest man I've ever met. You can do this."
*She looked mildly into his eyes as she remembered the first time they met.*
"You killed a god for me. And you went to war for me.... on the wrong side. I am not letting you give up now. I love you."

*His brow lowered.*
"Why should I not doubt myself? I've been toiling hours to try to protect my family from some unspeakable evil and I learn that it means almost nothing. If she is only harmed by White Magic, I cannot do anything against her."

*Malefica hugged him and gave him a kiss.*
"Now, now, my dear. We don't know that for sure. We may need your protection more than we think. I only told you what my cousin Hades believe."
*She hugged him.*
"I am afraid of putting you in her way, though. She is famous for her enormous apetite in men. If you should fall for her seduction I fear for the safety of The Black Wand."

*He thought on this for a long time. Then he spoke softly.*
"Then perhaps its custody should be given to someone of the fairer sex."

*Malefica smiled and caressed him.*
"I am glad you admit to it willingly, that you are capable to fall for my mother. Then the shock won't be too big for me when I walk in on you two. May I protect the Black Wand during the fight, and give it back to you if you still are a worthy guardian afterwards? If you are not her slave by then, that is. I know my mother, and there is no way in hell she will be capable of seducing ME!"

Um...ew.
*With a flick of his wrist, Icarus produced the wand. He held it out to Malefica. His eyes were sad and the room grew a bit colder.*
"Take it. And leave me in peace that I might wallow in my own inadequacy."
*His frustration was started to show around the edges of his cool demeanor.*

*Malefica took the Black Wand and made it disappear. Then she leaned over and kissed him. Her warm eyes looked deeply into his.*
"Icarus, I don't say that I don't trust you. I say that I have seen my mother's powers before. I am AFRAID of what she is capable of doing to you. I will try my best to protect you both. But my mother will do ANYTHING to get to the Black Wand. And if that happens.... Icarus, you don't even want to know what will happen then."
*She pulled him closer to her heart, embracing him, not caring about the cold in the room, just about him. Her heart was filled with love for him. She kissed him lovingly.*
"I will not leave you, Icarus. I love you, always. What can I do to remove the sadness from your heart? Tell me."

*His facade as cold as ever, he didn't meet her eyes.*
"There is nothing you can do. I will do what I can when the time comes, but I cannot change my limitations."

*Malefica looked at him, still caressing him, trying to comfort him.*
"Icarus, I need your help. Will you look over my potions, the marked bottles and judge which ones who could be helpful in our fight? I have made a lot of bottles that should be thrown against her, quickly and with great force. And looking at me, you know that I am not strong."

*He just wanted her to go, to stop reminding him of how helpless it was looking like he'd be. But he managed to lift his eyes.*
"Sure."

*Malefica snapped her fingers, and a box of bottles and tiny pouches, all neatly marked, turned up on his desk. Malefica looked anxious at him.* "Do you think we can use any of these?" ((Please godmod what the box contains. I haven't figured it out yet ))

*Icarus carefully fingered through what she provided. He had to read many of the labels, as they were unfamiliar to him. Finally, he shrugged.*
"You know more about her than I. If Hades does as well..."
*He touched a few of the bottles.*
"Then I'd recommend anything with Holy or Sanctified in the title."
*He was out of his league and getting more uncomfortable each passing moment.*
"Is there anything else?"

*Malefica smiled and looked up at him.*
"Well, I really want your help in this fight. Do you want an amulet, to protect you from her spells? Just in case she WILL try to seduce you? It will make you capable of resisting her. The feel of the Black Wand is making me sick."

*He looked at her, regret in his eyes.*
"But it is your burden to bear. It was given to you, long before I held it."
*His eyes lowered.*
"But yes, I will take your amulet."
