Jacob Quick is the favoured son of the messenger god. His father raised him in secret. Hermes loved his mother so much, when he was born, he had gifts he wasn't supposed to have. He was his father's replica, and the most unique demigod alive. Takes place after TLO

Jacob Quick's PoV

RIIIIING

That bell was for the end of the school day. Today being the last day before spring break, I didn't have track practice, so I ran straight to my locker to drop off my books.

A soft voice sounded behind me, "Hey Quick!"

I groaned and turned around to see my best friend since I started high school here at Goode. With a grin a said "Will you ever leave me alone? If I didn't know any better I'd think you're gay."

He gave me a half-hearted glare and said "You wish pretty boy. My parents aren't home, can I get a ride home with you?"

"Sure thing Shoots." Jackson Shoots was my best friend, moving here from New Mexico when I moved here from Colorado. My dad wanted me to get used to running with my powers at higher elevation, so I wouldn't have as much of a problem with Oxygen. Shoots wasn't athletic really, he never could run like me, but he was extremely innovative and smart. This kid used to sit in class and sketch blueprints for cars for fun. Fun. He was 5'10, with really curly blonde hair. He had hazel eyes and a knack for getting into trouble.

We walked out into the parking lot, where I got a lot of a few 'what's ups' but kept walking to my pride and joy where one of the popular guys was trying to convince a new girl it was his car. I laughed at him and unlocked the car. He turned around startled and walked away. She laughed and left in the other direction, but not before leaving a piece of paper under my windshield wiper.

Call me 3

Underneath was a phone number. I promptly put it in my pocket with the ones I cleaned out of my locker again today. All fifteen of them. Fifteen. Today. It was starting to get ridiculous. I'm not going to kid you or lie; I was the 'the hottest guy at school' quote unquote. I was 6'3, muscular, light brown hair styled in a high fade, startlingly bright blue eyes. I was Captain of the track and cross-country team, second smartest in my class, as mischievous as my father, and what a lot of girls were after, was the money I had (A/N look it up- Hermes is the god of wealth too).

I was broken out of my thoughts by the kid getting in my car "You going to ask her out or what?"

"What do you think? You know I'm not looking for a relationship right now. Not until I graduate" That was my excuse for not being in a relationship. The real reason being that I could move any time, and I don't want to hurt anyone like that.

I did an appreciative once over of my beauty of a car. A Carbon fiber wrapped Mercedes Benz AMG GTR. Dad really outdid himself when he got me this car. It was a present I got the year previous for my seventeenth birthday. I popped the trunk and dropped my backpack inside. The engine roared to life and down the road I went, to drop off Shoots.

LINE BREAK

After I dropped Shoots off at his house and as I was driving home I got a phone call. I had a special phone made for me by Hephaestus that was inlaid with Celestial Bronze, so it wouldn't attract monsters.

"Hey pops what can I do for you?"

"Can a father not call just to talk to his son?"

"You can, just very unlikely."

"Touché, well this is a bit early, but happy eighteenth birthday! I just texted you the address to a new penthouse. It's an upgrade from the last place, and I already flashed all of your stuff over. You'll love it!"

"What did you do this time?"

"*Sigh* I can never get anything past you, can I?"

"The last time I got a new apartment was when you made me find sword of Nike last year and I was comatose for three months. You don't just do this type of stuff for fun usually."

"You're Aunt, Athena, was doing her rounds and decided to check on her daughter that goes to your school, Annabeth Chase, and found a much stronger aura coming from you. She alerted Zeus of it and now you have to come have an audience with the gods."

"…"

"…"

"FUCK"

"Language Jacob. Anyways, your audience is at 7:30 tonight, so I recommend you dress for the occasion. That means you're wearing your suit. I'm not having my favored son make an appearance in a pair of sweatpants. Just remember, whatever happens, I will always love you. The gods wouldn't be able to function without me, and I'll stop my duties if they lay a finger on your head. I love you son, get ready."

"You're the one that taught me how to cuss. I love you too dad, I'll be ready. Bye."

"Bye son. I'll see you in a bit."

"Godsdamnit here we go again."

By this time, I had made it to my new apartment. It was amazing. I lived in suite PH88B in the 15 Hudson Yards. True to my dads' word, everything was already set up. I explored for about an hour, before getting ready. I made sure I had my enchanted weapons. First I donned my Rolex presidential watch that turned into the sword of Nike. The sword of Nike was an Imperial Gold bladed xiphos, with wings extending from inbetween the handle and the blade, as a cross guard. The wings were made of Olympic Silver. My shoes that turned into Hermes' sandals (they could change to match whatever I was wearing when not in use) and my suit that my dad had enchanted the day I got it for this very reason. I just had to think, and it would transform into a leather cuirass reinforced with Imperial Gold with leather strips reinforced with Imperial Gold that fell down my thighs, with vambraces designed to look like wings wrapped around my forearms, and greaves with the same design. Underneath all my armor was an enchanted silk button down shirt that would turn into a chiton that ended three quarters of the way down my thighs. My helmet was a classic Greek hoplite helmet made of Imperial Gold. With a thought, my armor transformed back into my navy blue, three-piece suit. I made sure to slip my ring on my left hand, which turned into the shield Hermes fought with during the gigantomachy. It was made of Imperial Gold like the rest of my armor, the only difference being, it was blessed by Hermes and Nike as a favor. It was completely weightless for me, while others couldn't pick it up. It absorbed most of any blow that was dealt to it, and it doubled my energy source.

"Here I go again."

I walked to the empire state building, so I had time to think.

I walked up to the receptionist's desk. "600th floor please."

He glanced up at me with a raised eyebrow. "No such thing kid."

I wasn't in the mood to play his games, so I just set a drachma on the counter. He took it then handed me the key. After a long elevator trip with some terrible music, I made it to the walkway to the city of Olympus. While it was beautiful, it was still a far cry compared to what it was before Kronos, since everything was still being rebuilt by a certain daughter of Athena who goes to my high school. I quickly made my way to the throne room, ignoring the flirtatious nymphs and goddesses along the way. I waited for Zeus to flash into his throne, before I walked into the throne room. I walked forward to Zeus' throne and kneeled before doing the same at my father's throne.

Zeus eyed me suspiciously. "Rise. Who are you mortal?"

I stood up and looked him in the eye. "I am Jacob Quick, my lord. Son of Hermes."

Hera spoke up this time. "Demigod, how have you become so powerful? Where you in cahoots with our father?"

"No lady Hera, I fought against him in the war."

"That doesn't explain how you became more powerful than a child of the big three." Came from the other side of Zeus, Poseidon.

My father cleared his throat, "I can answer that question. I cared for his mother more than I have ever cared for another mortal. Without meaning to, when my son was conceived, some of my essence made it into her womb. He is the most powerful child I have ever sired."

Zeus summoned his bolt. "He's a threat!"

Hermes, Apollo, and Hephaestus stood up. Apollo shouted, "My nephew is no threat!"

The council sat in shocked silence. He had never yelled during a council meeting, even during the sack of Troy had he ever yelled this loud. The only noise that could be heard was the crackling of the Hearth.

"My Lord, if I may?" Zeus nodded for me to continue "I have fought and protected demigods for years. I have been the one occasionally dropping young girls off near the hunt. I destroyed large portions of the Titan army whenever they crossed bridges or walked through the forests. I have been keeping and eye out for Perseus Jackson since he first learned of becoming a demigod. That stranger who gave him food, and a car ride to the next town over. I killed monsters in the Labyrinth to keep them out of camp Half-Blood. I was the one who prayed to pan for the wild boar in New Mexico. I have been the one escorting demigods to camp occasionally. I have done much for the gods, given undercover for my father, but I have been here every step of the way, helping things go along smoother."

Artemis sat in her throne, shocked. "That was you bringing me maidens? How have you known where we were?"

I smiled at that. "I have a small aspect of all of my father's domains, that includes travelers. If I concentrate hard enough I can find your hunt because you are constantly travelling the country."

She sat in silence for a minute before asking, "After finding us, how did you get to us so quickly?"

"I have dominion over roads. I have a minor teleporting ability to be able to teleport to busy roads, and then I would use my power of speed, and run the rest of the way there, drop the girl off, point her in the direction of the hunt, and leave before I could be attacked.

Artemis nodded in acceptance, while Athena asked the next question. "I noticed you due to your noteworthy cognitive abilities. I don't believe Hermes' to be a intellectual, so how are you so intelligent?"

"My father may not be a intellectual, but he is the god of thieves. A thief has to be able to plan ahead, and planning comes much easier with a photographic memory. In order for them to come up with these plans, and in many cases pranks, you have to be creative. Creativity involves a certain level of intellect."

Athena just raised an eyebrow, "Impressive young one. I'll be keeping an eye on you."

Zeus simply sated "I still don't trust him. How have you managed to fight so many monsters without being trained?"

Hermes raised his hand. "I trained him in his dreams for a lot of his life. Apollo raised him physically.

Zeus stood up. "That is against the Ancient Laws! You will be punished."

Apollo laughed, "That's where you're wrong, father. The laws state no interacting with mortals or your godly children. A demigod doesn't fall into the clear term mortal, due to the small amount of ichor in their veins. He also isn't my child, so I can hang out with him all I want."

Zeus sat down shocked, and asked "Hephaestus, how do you know the boy?"

The god of the Forges simply replied, "I've built him armor and he does favors for me. He has saved many of my children's lives."

Zeus looked at me again and narrowed his eyes. "Are you armed as of now?" I nodded. "Show us your armor and weapons child.

I thought of it and my clothes melded into armor, and my shield appeared on my left arm. I clicked the heels of my shoes together, turning them into the sandals. Ares nodded appreciatively.

Demeter voiced everyone's thoughts. "What of your weapon?"

I simply nodded and slung my shield over my back. I twisted my ring and a bright glow emanated from my finger. When it faded, sword of Nike appeared in my hand, slightly glowing a gold color.

Athena gasped in surprise. She stood and shrunk to mortal size, coming over to view the blade. Nike had faded with the destruction of the Athena Parthenos, and the remainder of her power formed this legendary blade, that was thought to be lost over time. I flipped the blade over and handed her the weapon, hilt first. She admired it before handing it back to me.

Ares jumped out of his throne "I challenge you for that sword!"

I simply nodded. "I cannot kill a god, so until unconscious or a killing blow withheld?"

Ares nodded and donned his armor. I grabbed my shield from my back and got in my ready position. On an unspoken signal He charged at me. He swung with a powerful diagonal slash. I crouched then reflected with my shield. I spun around him summoning the power of speed. I slashed across his right shoulder, slowing him down and hurting his sword arm. He spun and growled at me. I ran at him this time and we locked blades, I allowed him to over power me easily. He wasn't prepared for this, so he stumbled past me. I quickly moved my sword point to his throat before he could rebalance himself. There was a slow clap coming from Apollo. Soon enough Hermes joined in. Then Hephaestus, Ares, Athena, Demeter, Aphrodite, and Poseidon.

I removed my sword from Ares' throat and shook his hand. "Not bad kid. I'll be watching you in the future. You have the blessing of Ares, should you ever be in a battle intense enough, you will feel the power of everyone on the field. It will amplify your senses and skills.

With that he walked back to his throne and sat back down.

Zeus glared at me from his throne as I willed away my armor. "I don't trust you child. I want to monitor you for a while. You will spend the next year at camp Half-Blood. I expect you to train the campers."

I nodded. Reasonable enough. "Yes Lord Zeus. I will get ready as soon as I get back to my home."

He nodded. "Council dismissed!" He flashed out in a bolt of lightning with Hera.

Most flashed out immediately. I was confronted by my dad, who I gave a hug to. He whispered into my ear. "Meet me at home, I'll be there in a bit."

I nodded as he flashed out. Aphrodite stood from her throne. She changed what she was wearing into a pair booty shorts that were way to short and a white crop to that showed the bottom of her cleavage. She sauntered over to me and said "Meet my at my palace, lets have some fun." With a wink.

"No thank you lady Aphrodite."

She looked at me shocked before smirking. "Meet me at my palace."

"Lady Aphrodite, Charmspeak doesn't work on me. I am immune to all tricks, thanks to my father. I would appreciate it if you would stop."

She glared at me. "This isn't over Quick!"

I heard a chuckle behind me, where Hestia was sitting. "Impressive young one, I have never seen a man reject Aphrodite's advances. You are very different."

"Thank you Lady Hestia." She smiled and disappeared in a whirl of flames from her spot by the Hearth.

I heard a cough from behind me again. I turned around and came face to face with Artemis. "Thank you for the hunters."

She immediately flashed out and I chuckled.

I walked out of the throne room and walked over to a balcony. A felt someone walk over and stand beside me. "That wasn't to wise of you to reject Aphrodite. She won't stop until she has you."

I turned my head and realized I was about five inches away from Athena. We both blushed and moved a bit away from each other. "I realize that she might not leave me alone, but I wasn't going to let her influence me like that. I won't have sex just to have sex, I will only have sex for love."

Athena looked at me for a second before grabbing my hand and leading me to a bench. "You're a virgin, aren't you?"

I blushed scarlet but nodded. She looked at me with a new look in her eye. "That's quite rare, for someone such as yourself."

Her eyes widened as soon as she realized what she said. "I, uh, gah…"

I raised my hand a laughed a bit. "I take not offence lady Athena; I will take it as a complement."

She smiled, the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. "Just call Athena."

We sat there talking for a while. I checked my watch and noticed the time "Ah shit I need to get home!"

She checked the time and laughed, "The elevator to the mortal world closes at Midnight. Would you like to come to my palace? I have many open rooms."

I smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Athena. Lead the way oh wise owl!"

She laughed and blushed a little. "You're a terrible flirt. Let's go."

I stood and held out my hand. She took it as I helped her up. Somehow along the walk back to her palace she linked her arm through mine. When we reached hers, and she unlocked the door and let me in. My jaw dropped at the beauty. The floors were made of walnut, with a high vaulted entry way. Off to the left was a living room with a crème colored couch and love seat. To the right was a dining room. Past the dining room was a beautiful kitchen, with Tile floors, Cherry wood cabinets and marble countertops. Behind the living room was a massive circular two-story library with a rolling ladder.

"Wow."

She laughed, "Could I interest you in a drink?"

I don't usually drink, but I couldn't resist getting her to loosen up. "I'd love one."

"Aren't you underage?"

"Not in Greece."

"Fair enough."

We took off our shoes at the door. She led me over to the living room and sat me down in the love seat. She came back a couple minutes later with a bottle of Pinot Nior. "This is one of my favorites, unless you would like something else?"

I shook my head, "This is perfect, thank you."

"Would you like a tour?"

"I'd love one!"

She led me through the first floor, turns out that a panel in the library opens and there are six floors below the house dedicated to nothing but books. She led me over to a spiral staircase by the side of the library to the second floor. "This is your bedroom off to the side, mine is right across the hall. Thank you, Athena, I really appreciate it."

She showed me a pool, a garden, a movie theatre, and a sparing room that could alter to whatever fit your needs, be it a dojo, or a dirt floor for sparring. When we finished to tour, we went back upstairs to out bedrooms.

Athena looked at me and said. "Thank you for this evening, I don't really have anyone I can speak freely to about the Greek world who is truly interested like you. Good night."

She stood on her toes and gave me a kiss on the cheek before rushing into her bedroom and closing the door. I stood in the hallway, to shocked to move for a few seconds before my hand drifted up to my cheek. I walked into my room with a goofy grin on my face. I noticed a note on my pillow.

In the bathroom you will find a towel and hygiene products. The clothes in the closet will adjust automatically to fit the wearer. Good night!

-A

I stripped into my underwear and laid down for a good night's rest.

Life could be worse.

Okay, so what did you think? Suggestions? This doesn't have to be a Jacob/Athena pairing, I'm open to other choices. I don't really have much planned out from here, this was kind of an idea I woke up with. Let me know where you want this to go!
