Prologue

A new story! I've had a massive brainfart for both Viva La Vida and TITLIW so I won't be working on those until I get ideas. This one has a lot of canon changes. First of all, Percy has a little brother. Poseidon liked Sally so much that he came back for more. Still, his little brother Theseus Odysseus Jackson is the child of the prophecy. The reason for this being that Percy was made immortal after his achievements (Retrieving the Master Bolt, Surviving the Sea of Monsters, Lifting the Sky for Artemis, As well as killing like every monster at least once.) Theseus also went on these quests but he denied godhood. Also gonna add a bit of a marvel reference with the Infinity Stones, but not the infinity stones.

Pertemis and Theseus/Bianca (who didn't die because she never became a hunter, therefore Phoebe went and died instead.)

Disclaimer - I don't own PJO. Rick Riordan does.

Prologue.

-16 years previous.-

Perseus P.O.V.

"Perseus, meet your little brother, Theseus Odysseus Jackson." My mothers comforting voice soothed me as she held out a light blue bundle in her arms. My Father and the man who came with him that looked a lot like me looked on, smiling. Curious, I looked at the bundle.

It was some sort of little person, but it was very ugly. It was bright pink, and it's face was scrunched up as it slept, as if it was trying it's hardest not to have an accident all over the blanket.

Still, despite the hideous creature's looks, I couldn't help but stare at the strange thing. My mom said that the thing was my little brother, but that couldn't be right, the thing looked nothing like me. It had no hair, no teeth and it was so small.

"Do you want to hold him, Percy?" My mother asked me. I looked up at her, asking if she was serious. Why would I want to hold such a disgusting creature? My mother sensed what was bothering me and sighed. "Percy, it is a human, he is your brother. He will start to look better in a few days at most. Then, you'll think he is most beautiful creature in the world.

I looked back at the bundle she called Theseus. I reached out for it, and she handed my brother to me. I touched the thing on the cheek, and it stirred. I found this rather cute, and pulled it closer to my chest.

"Feeseis Odisus Jack- Sun."

-A few weeks later.-

Mother was right. As the days wore on, I became rather attached to the new member of our family. It was kind of uncomfortable at first, with us sharing a room since our apartment was pretty small, but I quickly grew used to it. I soon found that my younger sibling was rather cute.

A cry woke me up from my dreams, and I shot up in my bed. The cry was coming from the right of the room, where my little brother lay in his cot. Not wanting him to wake up our mother, seeing as she had work tomorrow, I got and walked over before shushing the crying infant.

It didn't do much, of course. It only made him cry louder. I tried covering his mouth with my hand, but he just slapped it away and squealed even louder. If he kept this up, our mother wouldn't get a moment's sleep.

I picked up one of my teddies and brought it back over to the cot, before stuffing it in. I thought I had done it for a second, as all noise ceased, but then the baby could just barely be seen thrashing around underneath the oversized teddy. I panicked, mother would be rather made if she found out I had suffocated my brother with a giant bear.

I pulled the bear out, and Theseus let out a giant scream at seeing the bear. It was honestly a miracle that our mother hadn't woken up yet. I tried thinking of a way to put dear Theseus to sleep literally instead of metaphorically. Then, a light bulb flashed inside my head.

A lullabye! It always worked on him, but then again, mother always did it, and I was terrible at singing. Still, it was my best shot, so I went for it. I tried thinking of a song, but nothing came to mind. Mother never really sang to me, I didn't find it as calming as my brother. Instead, she found it easier to just forcefully shut my eyelids and walk out of the room. Yes, that actually worked. Do not judge my two year old self.

I pulled out one of the books that mother kept for Theseus, it was one on Nursery Rhymes. Surprisingly, I could read pretty well for my age. My Kindergarten teachers always praised mother for teaching me so early. Neither of us had a clue what they were talking about. Mother never taught me, I just picked up on it.

I opened to a random page and started reading/singing.

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.

Percy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,

Percy's gonna buy you a diamond ring

-11 Years Later-

I walked through the school, looking for my brother. I cursed under my breath, that little maniac was always getting into trouble. I had asked around, and he had no detentions, so I had no idea where the could be.

I rounded a corner, and heard whimpering coming from behind the next corner. I walked up to it, and what I found shocked me. Theseus lay in a fetal position against the wall, as three huge kids that looked to be about 13 or 14 surrounded him.

"Where's the money, Jackson!" The one in the middle shouted, as the guy to his right kicked Theseus in the ribs. I stormed up to them. "Hey! Leave my brother alone!" I screamed at them. They looked at me, shocked, before letting out deep, insulting laughs.

"What are you gonna do about it, Jackson?" The guy in the middle sneered. I was about to retort, but I found that I couldn't. I couldn't say anything. I was speechless, I had no idea what I was going to say. What was I going to do about it?

"I-I'll…" I was cut off by the one on the right grabbing me roughly and shoving me into the wall. "THESEUS, RUN!" I yelled to my brother, and he looked at me, worried. The guy on the left pulled something out of his pocket, and when I recognized what it was, I paled. "THESEUS, GET HELP!" I yelled, and this time my brother obeyed, sprinting down the hall and turning a corner.

The fat guy on the left was about to go after him, but the guy in the middle stopped him. "Don't bother, Panda. We're gonna have some fun with Jackson, here. Caine?" He asked, holding out his hand to the skinny kid on his right. The kid handed him the knife with a simple "Here ya go, Drake."

Drake bent down and scraped the blade across my face. I winced as the pressed a bit deeping and I felt blood draw. Drake looked at me bleed, then without hesitation, slashed from the left corner of my mouth to just above my left eye.

I fought the scream, all the while one thought ran through my head.

For Theseus.

-5 years later.-

Theseus and I looked upon the Olympian gods with confused expressions. They all looked at us expectantly.

In case you were wondering, we had just been offered godhood. Godhood.

I looked over at my little brother, and I already knew what his answer was going to be. He was the child of the prophecy, he had a camp to protect, he had a world to protect.

I knew he couldn't just leave that all behind. Why? Because his fatal flaw is loyalty.

I, on the other hand, well, there's not much for me there. I didn't really have any real friends at camp. I mostly just hung around with Theseus and his friends.

I had no one special to me in the mortal and demigod world aside from Theseus and our mother, and I knew they would get on fine without me. Theseus had all his friends and his crush (Tee Hee Hee.) And I recently learned from Mom that she was currently seeing a guy named Paul Blowfish. I'm pretty sure I misheard Theseus on the name.

I looked over at my brother, and I gave him a nod. Simultaneously, we both told the gods our answers.

"I accept."

"I'm sorry Lord Zeus, but I cannot- wait, what?"

Theseus looked at me, hurt evident on his face. I looked at him apologetically.

"Perse, why?" The asked, tears shimmering in his eyes. I sighed.

"Theseus, you have everything you could possibly want. You're the child of the prophecy, you have a lot of friends, everyone adores you, and you have someone special waiting for you back at camp." At the mention of the new girl at camp, Theseus blushed.

"I have none of that. I hang around with you, Grover and Thalia, but even I can tell that the two of them aren't really my friends. I don't do much. My main job in the mortal world is training you, which I can still do as a god if the Council will let me." I explained, but Theseus still had tears in his eyes.

"B-but, what about me?! And mom?!" He asked, about to burst into tears. I reached forward and pulled him into a hug. My little brother sobbed quietly into my shoulder.

"Shh, shh, it's okay little brother. You have your friends and Chiron to take care of you now. From what you've been telling me, Mom has that Blowfish guy to love her." Poseidon choked on the drink he was sipping.

"SALLY'S DATING A GUY CALLED BLOWFISH?" Our father yelled, before he started rolling around on the floor laughing, and soon Hermes and Apollo joined him. Hestia glared at the three of them, while Hera chucked a vase at Poseidon to shut him up.

The three of them got back on their thrones and paid attention. Theseus had calmed down by now, so I let him go. He looked at me, his eyes were red and puffy and he had tear stains running down his face, thought he wasn't crying anymore.

I turned back to the council. "As I said before, I accept your generous offer, Lord Zeus." Zeus waved me off. "Enough with the formalities, Perseus. You are to become a god. You have also gained my favour in recent years, with helping to retrieve my bolt and lifting the sky for my daughter. Call me Zeus or Uncle." I nodded, a bit uncomfortable with calling the man who wanted to kill me and my brother a few years ago, 'Uncle'.

The Olympians, including Hades and Hestia, all stood up. I walked to stand in the middle of the throne room. Simultaneously, they all raised their arms and stretched out their palms towards me. They all started chanting in Greek.

"Κύριε Χάος, εμείς οι Ολύμπιοι θεοί, ζητάμε να μας δώσετε τη δυνατότητα να μετατρέψουμε αυτόν τον θνητό ήρωα, τον Περσέα, σε έναν από εμάς, έναν θεό. Βοηθήστε μας να του δώσουμε τις εξουσίες που του οφείλει."

As they finished, silver streams shot out of their palms and flew towards me. They surrounded me for a moment, before I opened my mouth to ask what was going on. The second I did that, the wisps all shot into my mouth at the speed of light.

As they did that, I felt a surge of power flow through me. My eyes flashed multiple colours for a moment. Orange, Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, and finally, Green. My eyes stayed the emerald Green that they had flashed and the wisps finished entering my body.

I blinked once, twice and three times. The Olympians all looked on eagerly, as if seeing if I would drop dead. Surprising them tremendously, I just coughed.

The gods all spluttered. "But… how?" Athena asked, before continuing. "No one's ever become a god without at least fainting." I shrugged. "I've been told that I'm full of surprises."

Three beams of light crashed through the roof, creating a large gust of wind that shook the room. Dionysus almost fell out of his chair, Apollo's sunglasses flew across the throne room, and Zeus dropped his bolt in shock.

The lights disappeared and in their place stood three old woman, still weaving a blanket. The three fates.

They started to chorus in union. "All hail Perseus, Major God of Time, Reality, Space, Mind, Power and the Soul." The said before flashing out of the room.

The gods all looked at me with their jaws touching the floor, even Ares looked nervous. Zeus cleared his throat, still looking at me in shock.

"I think that with the amount of power Perseus holds, it would only be right for him to become the next Olympian." All the gods nodded without hesitation.

"Perseus, do you accept the title of-" He stopped when I started talking.

"I'm gonna have to stop you right there Uncle. I decline your offer, unless my terms are met." Zeus raised an eyebrow. "Very well, nephew. What are you terms?" He asked.

"Lord Hades and Aunt Hestia have both been waiting for their thrones back for many millennia. I will not take a place on the council until their thrones are returned to them" All the gods were still. Hades looked at me with a mix of shock and gratitude, while Hestia got up and walked over to me before engulfing me in a hug. "Thank you, Perse." I hugged her back. "You're welcome, Aunty."

Zeus thundered again. "That can be arranged. Brother, Sister, do you accept your thrones back on the Olympian Council?" He asked, and both Hades and Hestia nodded. Zeus snapped his fingers, and out of the ground rose two thrones next to Poseidon and Demeter's seats.

Hades and Hestia both took their seats, smiling at me in thanks. Zeus looked back at me. "Now, Perseus. Do you accept a seat on the Olympian Council. To hold the well-being of Olympus and Earth as your main concern, from now until you fade?" He asked.

"I accept."

A large throne rose up at the end of the throne room, next to Hermes'. Another throne rose up opposite it, and I looked at Zeus in confusion. "The council must be equal in Males and Females, so you must choose a female Minor God to join the council."

I thought for a moment. I knew no Minor Goddesses, but I knew who I thought deserved a throne.

"I choose Nemesis, minor goddess of Revenge."

Zeus nodded, before banging his bolt on the floor. A few seconds later, the doors opened and in strode Nemesis, scowling at everyone. "What do you want?" She asked. Zeus narrowed his eyes at her warningly.

"Perseus here, has offered you a seat on the Olympian council opposite his. Do you accept."

Nemesis didn't say anything for a minute, her jaw went slack and she was staring off into space.

"I accept."

Zeus nodded, and the two of us took our seats, Nemesis smiled at me and mouthed the word 'thanks.' I put up a hand, gesturing that it was no big deal.

Zeus and the council droned on about stuff that didn't concern me. Eventually, he called an end to the meeting, and most people flashed out. A few people got up and walked over to me. The first was Nemesis.

"Perseus, I want to thank you for giving me a throne. But I also want to know, why me?" Nemesis asked curiously.

I shrugged. "You seemed the Minor Goddess that most deserved one." I answered simply. She nodded and did something unexpected. She hugged me. "Thank you, Perseus." I smiled and hugged her back. Eventually, she let go and walked off.

Next was Poseidon. "I'm proud of you son." He said. "Thanks." I responded. Poseidon put a hand on my shoulder and smiled. "We'll have to catch up for a few drinks later, now that the ancient laws allow it. Maybe you can tell me more about this Blowfish guy." I laughed, and agreed. It felt so good to be talking like this to a father that I'd only had about three conversations with in the past.

Poseidon laughed and clapped me on the back, before turning into mist and disappearing. Zeus came up next.

"Nephew, it'll be good to have you on the council. I'll admit, I was surprised when you asked for my siblings' thrones back, even more so when you suggested Nemesis, but i can already tell that it was a good decision. Welcome to Olympus, nephew." He said, before walking off.

Hades and Hestia both came up next. "Nephew, we want to thank you for returning our thrones. We are in your debt." Hades started, and I stopped him. "It was no problem, Lord Hades. I just felt that you too were due your seats back."

Hades frowned slightly. "Do not call me that. You will call me Uncle, otherwise I'll reserve a spot in the Fields of Punishment just for you." I gulped. "Of course, Uncle." I bowed slightly. Hades just chuckled. "Even after thousands of years, you never change." I raised an eyebrow at him, but the both of them just walked off, with Hestia giving me another hug.

Artemis was next. Following her was her lieutenant Zoe Nightshade, who I had befriended on our quest and who Artemis had somehow resurrected with some orange stone. Zoe did something that I thought would've gotten her kicked out of the Hunters: She hugged me.

"Thank you so much Perseus! Lady Artemis told me what you'd done to help save me!" I looked at Artemis in confusion, and she had a look of displeasure at seeing Zoe hug me, but I could see something else in her eyes. Was that… Jealousy?

Why would Lady Artemis be jealous? Does she like me? Don't get me wrong, Artemis is probably the most beautiful goddess on Olympus, but she was a maiden goddess! She wasn't supposed to be into guys. If I was gonna be completely honest, I thought that her and her hunters were all just a bunch of Lesbians.

"Yes, I would also like to thank you, Percy- Us." She said the 'us' in my name a little bit late, as if she almost said my nickname.

Going back to the mystery of how I saved Zoe, I asked. "What are you talking about, Lady Artemis? I had no help in saving Zoe. That was all you and that magic stone you had." Artemis just smiled. A genuine smile. At a male. Was she feeling alright today?

"No formalities Perseus. You will call me Artemis. And believe it or not, you hold more purpose in the future, or should I say past, that you could ever imagine. You are the only male to have ever gained my respect, and the only person to have gained something more from me." I asked what she meant by that, but both her and Zoe just walked off.

Finally, Theseus walked up. "So… I guess this is goodbye." He said sadly. I just gave him a solemn look. "What the Hell are you talking about, Theese?" He looked up at me, confused.

I looked at him and smiled sadly. "Look, Theese, this isn't the end for us. We're brothers, and you can't separate brothers. I'll try to sort something out with the council but… Ah, to Hell with the ancient laws! I'll try and visit you as often as I can, but I can't promise that we'll get to meet up every weekend. Maybe I can use the excuse that I'm your battle mentor. Zeus will want the saviour of Olympus to be as prepared as possible."

I sighed. "Theseus. No matter what happens, no matter what separates us, whether it be godhood or death, I'll always be there fighting by your side. Either I'll be slaying enemies with my swords, or sending down my wings to guide you. No matter what happens, I'll always be there to help." I finished my little speech by hugging him.

I would do anything for my little brother. I would fight beside him. I would lay down my life for him. I would dive headfirst into Tartarus for him.

He was my little brother, and nothing would change that.

First chapter done. Yes, Artemis and Hades were hinting at something which you'll figure out later in the book. Next chapter we get into the actual story. This was just a bunch of snippets from Percy and Theese's life. Again, pairing is Pertemis and Theseus/Bianca. I don't like Annabitch. The only things I ship are Pertemis, Perianca, PerZoe, Perlypso, Preyna, and occasionally Periper or whatever Percy/Piper is.
