He was the demigod son of Apollo, he cured death and Zeus smote him with a lightning bolt. Apollo killed a few Cyclopes and in a compromise Ascelipus became the god of Medicine.
Apollo also became a mortal as punishment.

I was joking 
. And that’s why I’ve never been a fan of Ares. There’s a time and place for attacking.
ASCELIPUS??? LOL THAT’S SOUNDS LIKE A POKEMON 
Ascelipus I choose you!! Sorry, In Spanish is Asclepio.

Another fun fact: Abrahamic religions have something very similar to the Rod of Asclepius. Moses’s staff turned to a snake when he was trying to convince Pharaoh of his mission and he also attached a bronze snake on a wooden pole to cure the Israelites of their own snake bites. Parallels!

We could possibly do this if Ares starts getting confrontational with you in front of the Council:
Ares: If you get any closer to my daughter, I’ll make you wish you weren’t reborn. 
Bearer: …That is an interesting request 
(Casually walks to the nearest door and leaves room).
Ares: …Did that kid just…
Hades:(Looks away to hide his smirk but shakes with suppressed laughter)
Ares: (Mind fully process what happen) THAT’S IT! I’M KILLIN’ THEM! 
(Half the Gods proceed to hold Ares back from chasing after the Bearer, though that doesn’t stop the swearing up a storm that can be heard all across the Institute) .
Meanwhile, on the other side of the door
Aeson: (raises eyebrow) You know, he’s going to kill you for that, right? 
Bearer: Only if he finds me. 
When in doubt, causally leaving a room always works.
…Just don’t get found by the person after or the end result may look like this 
:
Edit:Found a better picture example! For some reason, I can see Ares acting a little like Sun’s father from my ‘Bride is a Mermaid’.

There is something very enjoyable about laughing/smiling at someone who’s angry at you

I believe it’s a less sadistic version of schadenfreude. It’s just knowing how much you’re pissing them off. Almost like you’re baiting them due to the fun of having the high ground. 
I find it weird that Ares’ hate toward the Bearer just makes me want to make Evander mess around with him more (although I don’t think Cally would appreciate the Bearer doing that too often), while Aphrodite’s flippant dislike toward the Bearer makes me want to keep as far away from her as I can.
Do you think @Rohie will let us troll some of the Gods on occasion?
@Sherlock221B
Problem here is, the Bearer really has no high ground other than the fact at least half the Council is somewhat willing to protect them (partially depending on your actions, anyway).

That’s also the point; the person who threatens to do something is always in a better position than somebody who threatens to stop them. A chase nearly always benefits the person running away. Plus, having a dozen Greek gods holding person #2 back is pretty beneficial for person #1.
I can just imagine the Bearer bolting out of the door with Ares hot on their heels as he chases her across the entire complex and bursts in a door to find the Bearer kissing Calypso after sweeping her off her feet and leaning her close to the floor in a romantic fashion, after which the Bearer will look directly at Ares’ enraged face and just say with a shit-eating grin:
“I’m sorry, I completely forgot what you said. You see, her lips are just…mesmerising”, before dropping Calypso instantaneously and bolting straight out of the nearest door again as fast as they can with Ares charging after her while screaming death threats while Calypso just looks on in a daze, still spaced from the kiss.
Then a minute later Uncle Henry and Aunt Alice just walk slowly into the room with the most exasperated expressions you’ve ever seen, and just look silently at Calypso, who after about five seconds just points slowly at the door that the Bearer and Ares left through. After which Uncle Henry and Aunt Alice just walk out of the door Calypso pointed at without looking at Calypso, muttering something about ‘having a death wish’ and ‘need to stay on opposite sides of Olympus’.
That went way further than I expected, but I had fun with it .

To be honest I think my MC would just say this:
Ares: keep away from my daughter
Moon: why?
Ares: because
Moon: because what?
Ares: because umm…
Moon: are you scared of me? Because if you are…
Ares: Me? Scared of YOU? Ha as if, your pathetic magic cannot withstand my power!
Moon: yeah um about that…I did sort of join the destroy Ares club this year
Ares: WHAT!!!
Moon: it’s true, it’s run by your kids
Ares: MY KIDS!
(Moon starts to casually walk down the corridor)
Moon:well who can blame them? They’re YOUR kids
Ares: …THAT’S IT, YOUR DEAD KID!!!
(Ares charges down the corridor like a angry bull, with Moon sprinting down the corridor laughing)
note to self: learn the definition of funny before you lose your social life

That’s assuming Ares would even give you the chance to stand still and taunt him with so many words

Great! We all have plans on how we’ll mess with the God of War!
Now let’s figure out how to troll the Goddess of Love! 
That’s easy. Tell her your RO is more attractive than her. Extra points if you’re with Adonis

Both of my MCs would very much tell her Adonis is more attractive in a heart beat. With the biggest, friendliest grin on their faces. 
But I want to take it up a notch from there, to the point she’s raging as much as Ares.

Have Aeson tell her that he was Paris and, if she didn’t cheat, he would have given the Apple to Hera or Athena?

That’d be cool. She’s just being her beautiful self, charming everybody in Olympus when she notices that the Bearer isn’t looking at her. In fact, they don’t even notice her presence. Both irritated and confused about this, she heads over to the Bearer and strikes up an innocent conversation. About ten seconds into this conversation she realises the Bearer isn’t even focusing on her and is looking at something else, and turns to see the Bearer staring at the RO laughing and joking with friends.
Aphrodite, of course, gets irritated more and more by the second. Because this has never happened before. Ever. So she starts subtly turning on the charm more and more for no other reason than to get the Bearer to pay more attention to her than the RO, which consistently fails. Eventually, it gets to the point that something along the lines of this happens:
Aphrodite (impossibly close to the Bearer): “It’s…sweltering today, isn’t it? Just so incredibly…hot. Don’t you think?”
Bearer (without even looking at Aphrodite, hands her a water bottle next to them): “Oh, sorry. Do you want this?”. At which point an incensed and jealous Aphrodite curtly refuses and storms off, giving the RO the most evil look she’s ever given anybody while the RO is stunned silent (if it’s Adonis, he goes after her, wanting to know what’s upsetting his mother and getting more agitated when she refuses to acknowledge his presence), and the Bearer barely stifles their laughter. Cause they know what they’ve been doing the whole time. And the whole time, they never stop looking at the RO.
I’m having fun with these .
