Disclaimer: I don't own anything from any recognisable parts of this story. Percy Jackson isn't mine!
Poseidon's P.O.V
Today Zeus had called the Gods to Mount Olympus because of a message from the Fates. I couldn't really admit to caring but I'll admit I was a might bit curious.
"Today I have called you here as asked by the Fates, to read the books that have been sent to us to help us in the future. The first one is called Percy Jackson and the Lightning thief," Zeus commanded.
It took everything in me not to gasp out loud; there were books about my son. A son that nobody was aware that I had. Looking up I realised that I had missed what ever Zeus was saying, but he'd handed the book over to Athena to read.
Chapter 1Did you know that hero's never allowed to give up, a hero always win. There cool and can beat anything and can save everyone. They put everyone over themselves and care about the people who are screwing them over.
"Do they really feel like they have to be like that?" Aphrodite of all people asked. Nobody answered her.
My name is Percy Jackson and I'm supposed to be a hero. Oh, and yeah I'm that Percy Jackson. The one the Muses wrote the books about, but do you know that mostly there wrong. Well mostly, I'm going to tell you how it really happened.
"Wait a minute why would the Muses change the story?" Athena asked, "What happen that we didn't want everybody else to know?"
"I don't know but the Fates are determined that we know the whole story" Hera commented. I just wanted them to shut up and hear about my son.
Now where did it start? I guess I'll borrow a few lines from the lightning thief.
'I was alone. There was a ballpoint pen in my hand. Mr Brunner wasn't there. Nobody was there but me.' Except I knew exactly what had happen, minus the Greek Gods part and despite being twelve I needed a drink. I booked it out of there and got in a cab taking the cool pen type sword with me.
"He stole a sword, I like this kid already" Hermes commented, "I wonder who's kid he is?'
"Percy, where you going?" Grover yelled running after me, but I just got in the cab faster, where I was going was no place for Grover.
"Grover, isn't that the Satyr responsible for…" Zeus started. Thalia everyone thought, what was he doing near my son? And where was Percy going.
"Step on it please" I said to the driver throwing a twenty over the seat. The driver stopped four blocks away from my Moms apartment, where there was a door with a slot for a key card. Stepping out I type in the code and swipe my card. The door opens and I step through from New York to New Orleans. Specifically to the Sunset Tavern a famous Lore bar you can access from every city on Earth.
"Um, does anyone else not know where this place is?" Apollo questioned.
"Um, I don't even know where this place is and I'm the God of Travels" Hermes said uneasily.
"Hey Percy, did you give up on boarding school already? You almost made the year this time" Regan the Radiant, Valkyrie and the worlds most immature immortal commented lightly glowing down at the back table.
"Ok, I really want to know whose kid this is, it's starting to creep me out" Hades of all people commented.
"That was until a Fury pretended to be my pre-algebra teacher then attempt to slice and dice me, not cool" I said taking a seat next to her and swiping her vodka and orange juice.
"Dude, your twelve, alcohol you should be drinking not!" she shrieked, not for the first time. I laughed and pulled a deck of card. "People, Percy bought cards" she called. The back table was suddenly full with a variety of Demons, Witches, Valkyries, and Vampires.
"Maybe it's my kid?" Mr D said, "Drinking and gambling, sounds like me" Internally I was thinking what the hell, but then I suppose that I could hardly expect him to act like me. He hadn't see me since he was a baby.
Three hours of Bullshit (The card game) and 4 grand later I asked Lyra if she could fix the sword, apparently it only works on monsters, note the sarcasm. She spelled it for me to be able to work on anyone that means me or anyone I care about harm. There were now gold-filled engravings in concentric circles on the blade. The lost language of the Time Lords, I had a tattoo on the back of my neck. It was apparently my future.
"Ok, gambling, drinking, tattoo, did I mention that I'm really, really starting to like this kid" Hermes said.
"Does anybody have a child called Lyra? Is she at camp?" I asked.
"No she's not at camp," Hera said taking a deep breath. "Because if she was I would have claimed her, and Zeus, that horrible feeling your having now, is exactly the feeling I have whenever you've knocked some bitch up"
"Really?" he asked in a small voice. Something I didn't know my brother was capable of.
"Yes" Hera said resolutely staring him in the eyes and then the world imploded because Zeus said…
"I'm sorry" and looked elsewhere motioning for Athena to continue reading.
"It' beautiful" I said looking at the blade. "What does it say?" Lyra just shakes her head and puts her finger to her lips. I let it go because I trust her. Apparently we were family, and with all the time I'd spent with her I believed it. Or at least I really wanted to.
"She is family," Hera breathed sadly. "Zeus I want to meet my daughter and if I don't get to your sleeping on the couch"
"But, but, but… fine" he huffed, conceding defeat. It's almost embarrassing.
"Do you want some training?" she offered. I thought about it for a while, before nodding. After all if thing were going to attack me, I mean more than usually it would be a smart idea, especially if I was going practice with the best. "Come on vacation again then?" she asked.
"Again?" Ares asked, puzzled. It was amazing that he'd stayed quiet for this long.
"Anywhere and everywhere, all that's every happened and ever will, every star that's ever shone and back before anyone noticed I'm gone?" I quoted her questionably, "Again?"
"There kidding right?" Hades said unsurely, "That's got to be a joke right?"
"Of course" she said, "Do you know why I like it when people come with me, or the Doctor?" I shook my head. " I don't see it, we don't see it. When all of time and space is your backyard, it's just stuff, we know how it started we know how it ends and were probably there both times" she sighed, looking slightly miserable before her whole facial expression lit up. "But you, you see it and when you see it, so do I"
"The Doctor? Who the hell is that? And all of time and space… Hera your daughter's starting to scare me?" Apollo said shivering lightly.
"Do you think she'll become a hunter?" Artemis asked. Everybody groaned.
"Alright, stop trying to guilt me into it, but only on one condition. You drop me back off at the museum two minutes after I got in the cab to get here" I said, knowing that she was capable of it.
"Forget Apollo, she's starting to scare me now" I said, I'm not entirely sure that I want my son hanging around her.
"Deal" she said shaking my hand, but instead of letting go she jumps up and pulls me outside heading to a blue police public call box, unlocking it we step inside. It's bigger on the inside, but I wasn't surprised I'd travelled in the TARDIS before. There was a wheezing sound and the box disappeared to anywhere in time and space.
"What… The… Fuck?" Zeus said sitting in his throne, mouth slightly agape. A situation shared by almost all of us.
An indefinable amount of time later….
"Indefinable?" Aphrodite groaned, "You know what I don't even want to know"
"All right as far as anyone is concerned you've been here till the end of term and they aren't inviting you back next year, enjoy your trip" Lyra said squeezing me into a hug. She couldn't even use her magic to keep me in school. I must be talented.
"Neh, it's the ADHD, the kid shouldn't worry about" Ares "It usually ends in a good fight"
"Alright, you enjoy yourself and take care of the Doctor" I said hugging her back; she turned around and walked through the gates disappearing.
"Okay, somebody else's turn" Athena said throwing the book towards Demeter, who'd been astoundingly silent.
"You know there vaguely happy, maybe the eat cereal?" She said picking up the book and ignoring the groans at the mention of cereal. "Chapter two…" She read
First chapter done, review all. Please?
