</div>From before the time Archie had been hired by Mr. Panagakos, he knew about brothers who were protective of their sisters.  He had dated sisters with protective brothers.  He had backed off from some really really hot sisters with very very protective brothers.  Maybe when their brothers got to know him then everything would be cool, but until that happened those dudes were like a girl's father and no boy was ever good enough to date "daddy's little girl".<br/><br/>Earlier in the evening Dia had talked about gods.  Dia's brother could pass for a god, Archie thought.  Shit.  Well, Archie hadn't made any moves and nothing that he could think of that would warrant an ass-kicking.  If he was going to get this man's respect, he needed to act like a man.  He stood from his chair and looked the brother straight in the eye.  Then he exteded his hand to offer Dia's brother a handshake and said, "I'm Archie.  It's good to meet you.  A guy that looks out for his sister."<br/><br/>Apollo had not expected a gesture of friendship.  He looked at the outstretched hand and weighed the mortal's words.  Despite what he had thought of the situation previously, perhaps the mortal wasn't as bad as the sun god had imagined.  Still, he was only a mortal and not worthy of a goddess.  Like Orion wasn't good enough, and he was a giant, which was much closer to being a god than a mere mortal.<br/><br/>"I'm glad you understand the situation, Archie." said Apollo, but he did not take the mortal's hand.  He frowned and stood a little taller and a little prouder.  "I hope that you'll always remember that I'm the kind of brother that looks out for his sister."<br/><br/>Archie didn't take offense at the rejected handshake.  Some people were like that.  He remained standing.<br/><br/>Apollo turned to Artemis, "You really aren't the best judge of men, Sis," he said, trying to be a little more informal, "I like this one, for now, but maybe not later.  I don't think it's in the stars."  Apollo's eyes were hard.<br/><br/>Archie kept his tongue, but he drew himself up to his full height.  He wasn't going to start anything but he also wasn't going lay down and die because some overprotective asshole didn't like the idea of his sister enjoying herself in Archie's company.
