A/N: So this was origianally posted on PercyPortalPotterPriorPlumbobs, but then I decided to move this and all of my stories to this collab account. We're still choosing a name, so PM's with ideas are appreciated!
I followed Hermes into the newly redesigned Olympian throne room. I saw Piper, Frank, Jason, Leo, and Hazel. A wind spirit was dragging Annabeth from Apollo's new temple.
"But- w-w-ait" Her jaw dropped. She saw all of us looking just as confused as her. "Percy" she mouthed. We hadn't seen each other in a few weeks, though we Iris messaged frequently.
Zeus, no Jupiter, walked in, then Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Mars, Athena, and Pluto, who was never there, Roman or Greek. Followed by my father, Poseidon, who winked at me as he sat on his throne. I remember a year and a half ago when I sat on it. All of our parents. "We have summoned you here to reward you" I guess I should explain what happened.
*1 hour ago*
I walked up to my apartment and knocked on the door. A few seconds later Paul appeared. "Percy!" My step dad exclaimed. I remember, he had gone nearly as crazy as Annabeth and Sally when I was gone. "I-I-I-I-I th-th-thought y-y-ou were gone"
"But I'm not" I said, cracking a smile.
"Wh-when I got the message from Alaska I just couldn't believe it!" Paul continued. She took a deep breath. "Listen, I have some news"
I braced myself. "Is Sally okay?".
Paul smiled and started to continue. "Why don't you see for yourself" and I followed him to their bedroom. There was Sally playing with a newborn baby.
Her jaw dropped open "Is it really you?"
"In the flesh" I replied, then hugged her. "Who's this?" I asked pointed to the small pink bundle.
"Percy, meet your little sister, Alexa Blofis," I suddenly remembered. I had been gone for eleven months. That was enough time for well, you know.
"Hi," I said while playing peekaboo with her. I turned to my mom and asked, "when was she born"
"July 9th" (A/N If you read my other stories, you know what this day is) Sally responded. "I hope you don't mind, but we gave her your room, when we thought you were,"
"Dead, I know"
"Is it okay?" Paul asked.
"Fine," I replied, "Chiron wants me year round at Camp" It was true, I was the best sword fighter in 300 years, and now all this prophecy stuff is done. The break from school didn't hurt either.
"So you'll be gone again?" Sally asked, concerned.
"Yeah..." I hadn't really thought about it. I handed Alexa back to Sally.
Paul interjected, "What about school?"
"Consider it safe from monsters," I reassured him. He looked disappointed.
"You sure," He started "It's not too late to register"
"It's fine," I said, as a certain god of travel appeared on their dresser.
"Come with me," he said. I followed quickly, saving Paul, Sally, and Alex from the godly awesomeness. "He'll be back by dinner," Hermes promised.
*Now*
"We have summoned you here to reward you" Zeus said, as he turned too "Perseus Jackson, you have been offered this gift once before, and you have refused" Oh gods, not this again.
"Listen, Lord Zeus," I started.
"Jupiter," He corrected.
"Lord Jupiter, I have already given you my answer. I love Annabeth too much to take this." I felt confident, but seriously there are any other rewards.
Aphrodite looked up from fixing her already perfect makeup, squealed, "That's sooooooo romantic!"
"MOM!" Piper said, turning a bit red afterwards.
The goddess of love ignored her and whispered in Jupiter's ear. "No, not yet," he replied.
My father piped up "You can wait on your answer," I felt relieved, I could talk with Annabeth before giving my answer.
"Jason Grace," Jupiter thundered, "We are offering you immortality, you will serve as a minor god of thunder for eternity," Wait what? He was offered to be a god! I was only offered immortality.
"Father," Jason continued, "A true hero never turns down immortality," I could feel him staring directly at me, "So I accept," He turned to Piper, "I'm sorry, as a true Roman, I must do this." Piper looked sad, to see him go, but she was proud for him.
"Frank Zhang," Mars continued. "Perseus" He said, with a foul look on his face, "and Jason, have both been offered this, and it's your turn. Now since you have only fought in one war, you won't be a god, but immortality is still on the table!"
Frank looked overcome with awe, "Yes, sir. Of course I do." Hazel looked sad, but not as sad as Piper.
"Annabeth Chase, you of all people should have anticipated this. Do you want to be a goddess? Of battle strategy to be precise," Athena announced to her daughter. "You would help a lot with my duties,"
Annabeth answered her, " I'll have to ask Percy first, but if he says yes I'll say yes."
"Annabeth, do not let his choice define yours" Athena warned. We shared a smile, knowing that It would probably be the first and last time she ignored her mother's advice.
"Okay," Aphrodite said, turning to Piper, "which one are you?"
"Piper, your and Tristan McLean's daugher," she muttered.
"Phht, I knew that," replied Aphrodite, who was starting to look disturbingly like Annabeth. "So you are being offered the same thing as all these other guys," She said, a lot of disgust on her face as she gestured to Frank and Jason, who were talking to their fathers about duties and stuff, "so do you want the gift of immortality?"
"Yes," Piper replied, really fast, it was obvious she was looking for any way to be with Jason. Definitely her mother's daughter. (A/N Actually no, not at all. Why are you taking a knife out?)
"Hazel Levesque," Pluto started, his voice reminded me of the river styx, but shinier? "You have died once, would you like to experience that again, or would you want to join these knuckleheads for eternity" I'm not a knucklehead. I'm a Seaweed Brain
"Yes, Lord Pluto," Hazel responded. "I will accept your blessing," Then she went off and gave Frank an awkward bear hug.
"Leo Valdez-" Hephaestus began.
"Yes, I'll take immortality, thank you very much" Leo replied, as he walked to the middle of the room and shouted 'Beam Me Up Scotty!'
"Stuck with him forever," Piper muttered.
"Gotta love the McShizzle!" Leo replied, (A/N Thank you Leo, now fave follow and review #Shameless self promo. Shoutout to Crazycookiechick!) whilst sticking his tongue out.
"Still not too late to change our minds," Athena reminded him. Thank shut him up. My eyed were burning at the godly presence.
Jupiter bellowed, "Perseus, Annabeth, it is now your turn,"
Annabeth nodded, "I think I can speak for both of us when I say that yes we accept."
Athena smiled, a rare sight. "Is it true, Perseus?" Poseidon questioned.
"Yes," I confirmed.
"Okay, since you all accepted, we will begin the procedure of immortality, and in some cases, godhood, tomorrow," Athena started. "You will inform both camps tonight, as well as your mortal parents, Hermes will provide the transportation,"
*INFORMING THE CAMP*
"So, um hi?" I am such a good public speaker. That was sarcastic, Hermes had just transported us here and after I had survived the wrath of showing up in the Ares cabin, and trecked to the dining pavilion.
"We have some news for you," Annabeth said, professionally. "The Four of us are becoming gods","
This got mixed reactions; Complaints from the Ares and Nemesis kids, Congratulations from the Demeter kids, Poker faces from Hermes, and mostly overall confusion. Heck, even Mr D looked up from his magazine!
"Care to elaborate?" Chiron asked.
"Sure," Annabeth continued. "Me, Percy, and Jason are becoming gods, while Piper, Leo, Frank and Hazel are receiving immortality." The way Annabeth said it made it seem like it's not the huge deal that it is.
"You say that like it's nothing," Connor insisted.
"Well for you it won't be that different, we can still see you, we just won't age," Annabeth stated, as most of the camp went 'Oh'.
"Will you be getting cabins?" asked an innocent Iris kid asked.
Annabeth fumed, "I know Percy won't," She glared at me "ever cheat on me, and I say the same for Jason with Piper,"
"Do you know what you'll be the gods of?" Katie Gardiner asked, politely.
"Being LAME!" retorted some Ares camper.
Annabeth looked angry, "You don't want to get on my bad side. Katie, yes, and no. I will be a goddess of battle strategy,"
"Aren't there like Seven of those?" asked Nyssa.
"Well, yes but I'd be taking the duty from my mother," The Athena cabin looked perplexed "Don't worry," Annabeth reassured them, "You'll keep your talents. As for Jason, he'll be a god of thunder. Percy is the wild card,"
We stood there in silence for a minute, "So that's it," Travis asked.
"Yeah, pretty much," I said. I turned to Annabeth. "Is it time to tell the parents?"
"Yep," I replied, sat down by the fire. I then waited for Hermes to come get us.
