Annabeth looked at the man she once loved. He was seated in a metal chair, getting ready for his trial. He had supposedly gone insane, all while keeping up the façade of a well-known demigod.

The blonde entered the room, eyeing the 25 year old carefully. So many things had gone wrong in the last few years. First, the mist had faded- a 'loving' gift from Gaea. So the camps and the gods had been exposed. There had been quite a few non-believers at first, but Olympus had beaten them down with a few acts of extreme power.

Of course, then something had to go wrong.

A small group had sprung up, currently known as Vengeance. They were working against the gods to restore the primordial rulers to their full power. The fact that the gods had turned the US into a full running dictatorship had added and taken away some things in their full scale goal of world domination. Half-bloods and minor gods alike had flocked to Vengeance, nearly doubling its size.

Apparently, Percy had been one. But one thing was different about his portfolio of betrayal- his reason. Of nearly everyone that had joined the other side, most had just grown tired of the gods' supremacy. Percy's, however, just enjoyed the chaos it had brought with it.

He had tortured in the early days, delving into his brand of insanity. The act of cannibalism had brought most of his victims to their knees. Although, that's not the worst he had done.

The man was guilty of many murders, once destroying a whole family during one night. Vengeance hadn't even done anything; as if the acts of sin had a reason behind it. One that would change the whole thing.

And all he did was sit there. His dark green eyes followed Annabeth. He smiled, showing the signature sharpened canines he was 'famous' for. It was more like he was baring his teeth.

"Percy." Annabeth took a deep breath to steady her hands. She couldn't afford to show weakness, especially in front of a monster like him.

He stared at her, raising an eyebrow. His wrists were shackled with a special metal that burned demigods. For some reason, the skin beneath had small runes tattooed into it. They glowed with a red light, and pulsed with a dark power. Annabeth forced herself to look him straight in the eyes. His pupil was a dark crimson color, reflecting the blood that was often on his clothes when seen.

"That's my name, Wisegirl."

Annabeth stiffened at the pet name they had used long ago. "Don't call me that."

He laughed, a sound that brought back memories of an easier time. Annabeth stared coldly at him and remembered why she was here. "Care to explain why you killed that family last week?"

The Hunts', a well-known demigod family, had been murdered in their sleep; an aspect of a killing done by Percy himself.

His expression hardened. "I'm afraid that's classified." Annabeth browsed through the options she had: Force him to comply, or play along.

Jason quietly whispered through her earpiece. "Try to get any information you can without using force. That will come later if he doesn't comply."

Percy heard the words from the earpiece. His specially enhanced senses had been a good idea. Of course, nobody knew that he had an advantage.

The blonde spoke, measuring her words carefully. "Fine. Why did you leave Olympus?" It was a question that had been wondered by her for many years.

"You should know this; I was never fully with you the entire time." His eyes were crazed, as if he was re-living the moments of the final battle.

Annabeth paused her thoughts and mulled over what he had said. "What?"

"Oh!" He said. "You didn't know that? Yes, I was a traitor for Gaea. I was the one who suggested she bring the mist down. I killed Leo."

Annabeth froze at those last words. Leo had been supposedly killed as a sacrifice during the war, but now this was brought to light… well, she didn't know. Leo had been an important part of their lives, and Jason and Piper had been devastated during the war. The thought that Percy had been a traitor for that long shocked her. He had been the most loyal person she knew. His fatal flaw was loyalty!

Percy watched her with a smile. He had been waiting to get that out, and now he knew that Annabeth was furious at him.

Annabeth contacted Jason through tapping her earpiece. "Permission to use force?" Her voice was hard.

Jason replied quickly, sounding angrier than she had ever heard him. "Wait. We are coming."

She could hear feet coming through the door. Percy was still smiling. The steel door opened and showed Frank and Jason, who both held a weapon. Jason eyed Percy.

"Why do you torture and kill so many innocent people?"

Percy smiled sadly.

"We all do what we have to do to survive."

So. Was that good? It'd help if you reviewed, just to give me your thoughts. This could possibly be turned into a story, so review what you think! If it was a full story, it would most likely go through a war. If that sounds to your liking, go for it. And- This is not a story where Percy becomes good again. If you expect sunshine and rainbows, go to the 'my little pony' category. This will have torture and death.

Thank you!
