Godzilla hasn't walked through New York to often but there is one thing he remembers every time he does. He really hates crowded areas and lots of people. He would rather be back on his island or at his new home completely away from everyone. But Godzilla would just have to deal with it for now do to the one on his back.
Hestia wanted to show him her home and for some reason he just couldn't say no to her. There was something about her that made Godzilla want to make her happy. To be honest Godzilla both liked and hated that she had this kind of hold on him. It was weird.
Another thing that was weird was the looks that Godzilla was getting from the people around him. The women and some of the men looked at him with a lustful looks in their eyes. Then there was the men who ether looked at him with hate or envy.

Godzilla mind: why are they all looking at me weird?

Hestia: we're here!

The young Goddesses sudden exited outburst caught Godzilla off guard. Hestia began pointing at the building across the street from the them. Godzilla then looked where she was pointing and saw the big building.
Godzilla then looked behind him at Hestia while pointing at the Empire State Building looking for conformation that he was looking at the right building. Hestia then gave him a happy node that told him he was. That's all Godzilla needed to know before he began to cross the street.
Godzilla got across the street but not before nearly getting hit and also causing a reck multiple times. None of that fazed him though and he actually didn't pay any of it any attention. Hestia on the other hand was profusely apologizing to the people for her nephew's actions.
On the other side of the road Godzilla picked Hestia up off his back and put her down. He then took the building in some more before looking down at the Goddess again.

Godzilla: nice home.......

Godzilla looked back up at the building before looking back down at Hestia.

Godzilla: not for me, now I go home.

Godzilla turned and began to walk away before Hestia grabbed his arm.

Hestia: wait this isn't my home. It's really just an entrance of sorts.

Godzilla was clearly confused by what she was saying. Hestia could see that by the look on his face.

Hestia: come on let me show you.

Hestia then proceeded to lead Godzilla inside the building. Hestia then went and got something from the guy at the front desk. The guy at the desk kept nervously looking back and fourth between Godzilla and Hestia. He didn't know what it was but Godzilla could tell that the guy didn't know if he should give it to her. In the end though the front desk guy handed over some kid of card and the two of them then found themselves in a small square room.

Godzilla: what is this?

Hestia: it's an elevator. This will take us to my home.

Godzilla was confused about how a room could take them somewhere but didn't say anything. That's when the elevator began to move surprising him. However it didn't surprise him as much as the sight he saw when the elevator stopped and the doors opened. The two stepped out of the elevator as Godzilla took in the view.

Godzilla: this your home?

Hestia looked at Godzilla.

Hestia: yes it is.

Hestia then looked back towards Olympus.

Hestia: welcome to Mt.Olympus Gojira. Welcome to the place where you were born. Welcome home nephew.

Godzilla may not have spoken the language very well but that doesn't mean he was an idiot. He understood every single word people said in english. So he was shocked when Hestia said what she did. Him born here, him being her nephew? No, no, none of that was true, his home was the island and he didn't have any family.

Godzilla: I from island, have no family.

Hestia didn't want to argue with him because from his point of view he is correct. So instead she began to tell him how he ended up on the island. While she didn't want to she told him how his mother thought he was a monster and how his own father had banished him from Olympus. Hestia then finished the story telling Godzilla about how she took him to the island so he would be safe.

Hestia: do you understand stand now Gojira?

Godzilla: mother thought I a monster?

Hestia gained a sad look in her eyes.

Hestia: I'm sorry Gojira but yes.

Godzilla's face never once broke its stoic appearance when Hestia was talking even as he was being told his mother thought him a monster. What came next surprised Hestia.

Godzilla: mother right, Godzilla monster.

Hestia: no, no, no Gojira she wasn't right, you're not a monster.

Godzilla: no! Godzilla is monster. But Godzilla isn't any monster. He king of monsters.

Hestia couldn't help but somewhat admire Godzilla at that moment. Most children would feel terrible about themselves if their parents called them a monster. But here's Godzilla not only excepting it but also turning it into something positive for himself. Hestia couldn't help but to smile at the way her nephew thinks.

Hestia: so you think you're king of the monsters?

Godzilla: not think, Godzilla is.

Hestia mind: you may not see it and he may try to ignore it but you and your father are a lot alike Gojira. I just hope that one day the both of you can finally be what you should be. A family.

Hestia then looked away from her nephew and back towards the Mt.Olympus and as she took in the sight of her home she let out a satisfied sigh.

Hestia: would you like me to show you around. The place is a little damaged from all the fighting but it's not to bad.

Godzilla: sure.

With that both Hestia and Godzilla began making their way through Olympus.
