The story begins with Hades attending a party of his brother, Zeus's, after his partner, Minthe, stood him up. Persephone has been allowed to leave the mortal realm and study at university at Olympus by her mother, Demeter. Hades takes notice of Persephone at the party, and comments to his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon that Persephone's beauty rivals that of Aphrodite. Out of jealousy, Aphrodite calls her son, Eros, to get Persephone extremely intoxicated, and they leave her in the back seat of Hades' car in an attempt to have her embarrass herself in front of him. After their initial encounter from this incident, Hades and Persephone both express an interest in each other, but Persephone still struggles with her emotions, due an earlier plot point that happened in the comic–she was raped by Apollo. Aside from this rape being traumatizing, she struggles with her current association of being a prospective member and a recipient of an academic scholarship from The Goddesses of Eternal Maidenhood (TGOEM), a group of sacred virgin goddesses that consists of Artemis, Athena, and Hestia.
