The meeting hasn't even started yet and already Carissa and Hades were bored waiting for Pain and Panic to get on with their report.

"Ok boys, I haven't got all day." Hades told them.

"You have eternity." Carissa pointed out.

"Right, what am I talking about I just don't want to spend it with those two. Ok so how's the business? huh?"

Carissa ignored the babbling they were doing as their charts and papers went all over the floor.

"Ya flame kissing little yutzes." Hades chuckled. "Ok details, give me details."

When Panic started off with talking about the gift shop Carissa frowned knowing something was really wrong.

"Ok that's too many details." Hades stopped them. "Lets stick to our core business, dead people."

The imps sweated badly making Carissa nervous and slowly back away from her dad.

"We've experience a decrease in new arrivals." Panic admitted. "That concludes our presentation." They tried to make a run for it but Hades made a fire wall block them.

"Back up, what was that about a decrease in new arrivals?" Hades asked calmly.

The imps show him the amount. "It's not as bad as it looks."

"Zero new dead people" Hades read he then calmly dropped the chart grinning. "Well that's great, that's just dandy."

"I told you he wouldn't be mad." Pain told Panic.

"Of course not." He then flamed up and burned the chart setting it on fire all the way to were Pain and Panic were standing before he used his smoke hands to grab Pain and Panic around their horns. "My business is dead people, and without dead people my business is dead, people." He then looked out the window to the river of souls. "Look, people die everyday, they get sick and they whine about it but they die." Hades shrugged his shoulders before dropping his hands down on the imps head. "Boom, bada bing, dead. So if there's this rash of wellness going around I would like to know who or what ungodly force is behind it."

"Um dad?"

"Yes?" Hades turned to her.

Carissa turned into Kareena "Can you take me to school now?"

Hades looked at his watch. "Oh yeah." He gave her a bag and her backpack. "Here's your lunch and your homework the servants did." He kissed her head before sending her to the surface.

It was career day for the school, Carissa knew she didn't need this since her destiny is to be a Goddess princess but she has to play the part of a normal mortal girl.

"These all look dull." Carissa told Hercules as they looked around.

"I don't really need career day, I already know what I'm going to be." Hercules said.

Carissa looked over to see Phil was showing off at his own space saying what being in the hero business is about. "Shouldn't someone else be doing that? Phil is just a hero trainer."

"No one knows more about heroes than Phil." Something then caught his eye. "What's a doctor?"

Carissa looked over and saw a man with the word doctor over his booth. "I don't know, but look at all that cool stuff he has on his wall." She saw saws, knives, hooks, pillars and other tools the imps use for torturing, maybe she can buy that stuff for her dad's torture chamber. "Maybe he sells tools, lets check it out."

Hercules and Carissa go over. "So how's business?" Herc asked being friendly.

"You actually know what a doctor is? You've heard of my work?" The doctor asked.

"No, but I want to, what do you use all this cool stuff for?"

"I am Hippocrates, I am a doctor, I cure the sick."

Carissa's face dropped while Hercules was amazed. "I thought curing the sick was something only the Gods can do.'

"And me." Hippocrates bragged.

Carissa clenched her fists and growled lowly so no one can hear her while Herc talked to the doctor. "Wait till I tell dad"

"Wow, you sound just like a..."

"Hero." Phil interrupted herc. "You hero, him quack."

Carissa laughed a little having to agree with Phil. ''So you seriously us all this deadly stuff that was made to kill do cure people? Yeah right."

"Yeah I'd like to see that." Phil then trips and goes head first into a wall causing a statue of Athena to also fall onto his head.

"Phil!" Herc gasped.

Hippocrates grabbed Phil by the horns. "We gotta get him to my hospital."

"We're off to the hospital whatever that it!" Herc followed the doctor.

"Better see if he's the real deal." Carissa followed them.

"Leeches stat!" The doctor put on gloves and grabbed two leeches. "Clear!" He put them on Phils chest making Phil wake up.

"Hands off the fur Buster!" Phil was swinging and jumping around as if he wasn't unconscious a second ago. "Lets go Herc I want out of this nut house.

Carissa was speechless for a moment. "He used...blood suckers.. to.. cure?"

"Uh, Phil." Herc spoke up. "I thought I might stick around for a while, all this is fascinating."

The doc put his arm around Herc's shoulder. "Join me as I push open the envelope of medical science."

"The only thing I'm pushing is the door." Phil stormed out.

"I'm going home." Carissa left the hospital and went to the underworld turning back into her normal form. "DADDY!!!"

Hades appears. "Honey unless this is an emergency daddy can't be bothered, he needs to figure out what's making his business do down the drain."

"Well as always I found your answer." Carissa replied.

"Really, what'd you find out?"

"Ever heard of a doctor?"

"A docwhat? What is that like a candy or something?"

"It's a mortal that cures sick people. He found away to use deadly items and use them to save people's lives."

Hades was speechless for a moment before he pointed to the door. Carissa got the message and ran out closing the door behind her and ducked for cover as Hades screamed and everything around him burned to a crisp.

Carissa walked out after it went quiet only to be grabbed by Hades. Not a harsh grab since Hades would never hurt her just enough for him to be eye to eye with her.

"Name, I need a name."

"Hippocrates."

"PAIN! PANIC!"

Meanwhile the doctor was in pretty good business and was going faster since Herc was now his new assistant. The waiting room was full of humans and monsters really needing help.

In the waiting room Pain and Panic were pretending to be reading newspapers as they saw the doctor.

"That's the guy the boss wants us to knock off." Panic pointed. "Lets get him."

"We can't, it's not our turn yet." Pain reminded him.

"Smith, a Mr. John Smith." Hercules asked Icarus to run the doctor's office.

"That's us." The imps were about to go in but Hercules ran pass them holding a man with a vase stuck on his head.

"Coming through! Don't worry sir, you'll be better in no time!" Herc hit the guys head against the door making the vase break.

"OW!"

"Sorry!"

"Hey, how come he got to go ahead of us? We were here first." Panic complained.

"Oh that man was an emergency case my impatient little patients." Icarus explained.

"Emergency?" The imps looked at each other thoughtfully.

Few minutes later.

"A rowing accident?" The doctor looked at the imps who had an ore shoved into both of their sides.

"We both feel so silly." Panic replied trying to hold in his laugh.

"I've seen worse." The doctor turned around to read their charts giving Pain and Panic the chance to turn into snakes but before they could attack Hercules slammed open the door right on to them.

"Doctor come quickly! There's a patient in the ER with a sniffling nose.!"

"Great Zeus! Prepare a cart this is code blue I repeat code blue!"

However when Pain and Panic did get their turn they were more relaxed than ever sitting in hospital beds drinking tea and snacking on candy.

"I have never been so soothed." Pain sighed.

"I forgot why we even came here."

"Could it possibly have been.." Hades arms came out of the ground and grabbed the imps by the throat dragging them down. "TO KILL THE DOCTOR!!" He burned their faces right off. "You idiots!" Hades then saw the candy they have with them. "What is that cherry? Give me a taste of that."

"You serious?" Carissa asked as she watched her dad snack on a sucker.

"What it's nice." He put one in her mouth to before he continued. "Ok the doctor is curing people, the business is doing to, well you know to here."

Carissa spits out the sucker "I thought you said it wasn't."

"Ok that was a bad figure of speech but we're going to fight back, we're not going to give up, RIGHT!" He looked at the imps who were looking for new jobs since the underworld business is going down.

"RIGHT!" Hades flamed them up again.

"But your flamefullness, this guy is good." Pain told him.

"Yeah, and now with Hercules working with him..."

"Hercules?" Hades growled. "Oh that's just GREAT!"

"Sir are you being ironic again because it's really hard to tell." Panic asked.

"Wait wait wait this IS great." Hades grinned. "Hercules always wants to help people a little humanity helper Hercules well now he's going to help me. He can help me spread a little something, left over from Pandora's box. I think Dr. Dielittle is about to be plagued with trouble."

Meanwhile back at the island Herc was explaining to Phil that maybe he wants to be a doctor instead.

"HELP!!" Phil and Herc turned to see a short middle age woman was in an out of control boat. "HELP! I'M GOING TO CRASH!"

"I have to save her Phil." He jumped on Pegasus. "Hold on, I'm coming!" Hercules grabbed the woman just in time before the boat sank and dropped her off on to the beach.

"Good job kid I'm proud of ya." Phil praised. "You see that's what a real hero does."

"Ow! My leg! I think it's broken." The woman cried.

"Phil, I have to take her to the doctor." Hercules said.

"Hey what am I? Chopped mutton? I'm a trainer, I can handle an injury as good as any doctor." Phil grabbed the woman's leg making her cry out more. "Uh.. walk it off lady."

"Sorry Phil but she needs Hippocrates, I'll be back as soon as I drop her off at the hospital." Herc helped her on to the horse and flew off.

Herc didn't notice but every time he flew over someone they got very very sick.

Hippocrates came out of the hospital to see everyone in town looked like they were dying. "What's this?"

He and Herc turned to see the woman Herc saved was standing just fine and and laughed as she holds a box that had a green mist oozing out of it. "It's called a plague, a little gift from my daddy." The woman chuckled as she transformed to show she is really Carissa. "And you know what Jercules, I couldn't have done it without you, thanks for the ride." Carissa winked. "You da man, isn't he daddy?"

Hades appeared in front of them. "Oh yeah, people are going to build a statue of you, that is if there's going to be anyone alive to build it!" He and Carissa burst out laughing as they went back home. "OH YEAH!" Hades flamed up as Pain and Panic threw streamers around. "WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS! Oh yeah! Get down, come on down."

The only one that wasn't celebrating was Carissa, she went into the throne room to see how Herc would try to fix this with an invention her father invented called the tv. At first all she saw was Herc and the doctor trying to save a poor man. "Come on live! Live you idiot!" The doctor begged but it was no use, the man was dead. "We lost him.. I lost him." Carissa continued watching until the doctor mixed up this thing called medicine. Carissa gagged at the sight of it, it looked so gross that she would rather be plagued than drink that stuff but when it cured the first person they gave it to her eyes widened and her mouth dropped, he cured the plague.

"DADDY!!!"

Hades appeared with streamers hanging from his robe. "Carissa, , baby, why aren't you celebrating? What's got you all steamed up?"

"THAT!" Carissa pointed to the tv to show him that the doctor was quickly curing everyone that has the plague just by giving them sludge making his mouth almost drop to the floor.

"You did it Doc!" Icarus cheered as everyone was now cured. "You stopped the plague you stopped the plague." He sang and danced. "Nononono more plague."

"I know, and it took every last drop of medicine." The doctor said.

"Nononono medicine nononono more medicine." Icarus continued singing.

"Boy I like to see Hades's face now." Hercules grinned.

That did it, Hades and Carissa appeared both on fire.

Carissa grabbed Herc by his throat and pushed him against the wall. "Did you dare just mock my father?'

Hades stood behind her but bend down enough to be seen eye to eye with Herc ."How's this look? Huh you like this face? Do ya? Good, cause it's mad. Mad that you ruined my plan and that you made my little girl so upset."

"Hades is here, Hades is here!" Icarus sang till Hades and Carissa both glared at him telling him to shut up, before they turned their attention to the doctor, Carissa still has Herc in her grip.

"So Doc, we hear you're all out of medicine." Hades tipped the empty pot over. "And hey, that's too bad cause I saved a little smidge of the plague just for you." He blew it into Hippocrates's mouth making him as sick as everyone was before.
"Position, heal thy self!" Hades laughed. "Ok, doc, babe, catch ya later huh? Downstairs."

Carissa turned back to Herc tightening her grip. "Next time keep your mouth shut or you're the one that's going to need a doctor."

With that Hades and Carissa went back to greet the dead doctor.

"Hello doc!" Hades greeted helping him out of the boat. "Welcome to my underworld, home of torments since the dawn of time, how ya doing babe? Let me be the first to say aloha which means do you prefer regular or extra crispy? Nice, hey doc, seriously, you know what burns my butt? A little flame about that high, gotta go." He said disappearing.

Carissa shook her head. "No daughter wants to hear her daddy talk about his butt."

Hippocrates walked over to the other dead souls and pointed to a man with his head off who was coughing. "I can help you with that cough."

'"What are you?" Carissa's jaw dropped when she saw what the doctor was doing. "Oh no.' She starts freaking out going back and forth wondering how she's going to explain this to her dad when he gets back. However while she was pacing Hercules and Phil land right next to her.

"Carissa, in the name of all that's good and decent, I demand that you let Hippocrates go."

Carissa growled at him. "Let him go? YOU CAN HAVE HIM!"

Hades appears behind her. "I must have some brimstone stuck in my ear, did I just hear my daughter say she'll give up a dead guy?"

"THIS GUY IS CURING DEAD PEOPLE!!" Carissa pulled back a curtain to show that Hippocrates's ghost is making the dead come alive again.

Hades freaked out and grabs herc by the collar of his armor. "Get him out of here I'm about to go down into the negatives!"

"Hippocrates, lets go." Herc went over.

"Yeah, time to ditch the domain of the dead." Phil added.

"Please they before to be called living challenged, and I can't leave they need a good doctor."

"But sir, the living need you more." Herc pointed out.

"Look doc, I had my doubts but you are a hero." Phil admitted. "And we need all the heroes we can get."

"You're place is with us." Herc continued. "That's where you can do the most good."

"Yeah but not too much good right?" Hades jumped in. "I mean look why don't you just take a day off once in a while, relax a little, Wednesdays! Take Wednesdays off, boom."

"I wouldn't know what to do with myself." The doctor admitted.

"You're kidding right?" Carissa snapped. "No one's entire life should be their job, ya relax."

"Yeah, play a game." Hades added. "Here, I'll invent one right now, boom, golf! You'll love it ok." Hades made a club appear and hit a golf ball right into a hole that's in a man's chest.

"Golf? Interesting." Hippocrates said interested.

"And that's not all, I got a ton of medical ideas for you, ok. Example, double billing, ya get paid twice for something you did once, it's great."

Carissa jumped in. "And no more house calls, you are an important dude, let them come to you."

"Nice one honey and here's another one HMOs! You'll love it!"

"They're gone daddy." Carissa pointed to them getting in the boat and rowing away.

"You'll love it! Come back! That's good! That's what a doctor should be, unavailable! I love you, goodbye!"

"Dad." Carissa stopped him.

Hades sighed. "Well business is still low."

"I don't mind." Carissa finally admitted. "I kinda like it when it's low."

"What? Why?"

"Because then you have more time for me."

Hades frowned as he looked at her before he gently smiled. "Guess there is an upside to having a not busy business."
