Percy Jackson and Grover fled after the Fury incident. They ran as fast as they could through the streets. Though Percy had no idea why they were fleeing for their lives he knew one thing he'd just beat some kind of flying monster with a pen that turned into a sword. The pen was clutched tightly in his hand.
"Where are we going?" Percy asked, as they blended in with the crowd.
"There is a place where you'll be safe from those monsters." Grover replied, " A Camp on Long Island. We just have to get there. We'll contact your mother when we get there."
Percy was quiet his mind racing. He started at the screen that appeared before him.
The Gods and Goddesses have chosen you as the Savior.
You've been granted the Gift of Gamer.
They have sent you a mode of transportation. It's near by only you and Grover can see it.
Percy kept an eye out.
"Hey, Grover, look." Percy nodded to a car. "No one is noticing that car but I can see it."
"So can I." Grover nodded. "Lets go."
They found themselves inside the car. Percy in the Driver's seat. They buckled up and Percy turned the car on.
"Can you drive?" Grover asked.
"You're joking right?" Percy laughed nervously. "I live in New York and i'm a kid."
He put the car in gear and turned on his signal. He eased into traffic. Okay, this wasn't so bad. He could do this. He tried to convince himself of that.
"So start talking, Grover."
So Grover started talking explaining what was going on. It sounded outrageous but it explained everything that had ever gone wrong in Percy's life. He wanted to call his mother and tell her what was going on that he was going to this camp but he just kept driving.
"We need to get ..."
"I know how to get to Long Island." Percy cut Grover off. "Mom and I used to go all the time to a cabin there when I was a kid."
Grover didn't say anything he trusted what Percy said and he needed to get Percy to the camp safely or he would lose his license this time for sure. But then if they got there would it still count for him since Percy was driving? He was confused. He sighed to himself and glanced at Percy.
"You're pretty good at this driving thing."
Driving-1
Percy hid his shock but shrugged at Grover he didn't feel like talking right now. For months Grover had been lying to him and it sounded as if Mr. Brunner had been as well. He was trying to process all of this and wondered why the heck he wasn't freaking out right now.
"Ugh." He finally said.
"What's up?" Grover asked.
"Just hungry." Percy answered. "Is it really important to get to this camp? I wanna go home and see my mom."
"Sorry, but yeah." Grover answered. "We could get attacked again at some point. Monsters are going to be drawn to you. They always have been haven't they? You don't want to put your mom in danger do you?"
"No of course not." Percy said.
They drove for hours in silence.
Olympus
Poseidon watched his son from his throne.
"Does it count for the Satyr?" Apollo wondered, thoughtfully. "Percy Jackson is driving so does it count as the Satyr getting the boy to camp?"
"I say we give him this one." Artemis sighed. "He did get Percy out of there after the attack ignoring Chiron's orders to return to the school. It was a good judgement call on his part."
"And he is keeping the kid on track to the camp." Hestia replied, "The boy wants to go home but Grover is keeping him on the path to the camp."
"Fine we'll give it to him this time." Hera sighed. "Though he is a sorry excuse for Satyr."
"No one is going to disagree with that." Demeter replied. "He can not even play the Song of Spring."
"There is a lot he cannot do." Ares barked. "He shouldn't be on duty."
"He's just a child." Athena pointed out though she agreed.
"How will he learn anything if we don't let him out on missions?" Hephaestus wondered.
"That's true." Zeus hummed. Wondering why they were doing this. "I still can't believe we are trusting a boy who shouldn't even exist."
"He's such a cute boy." Aphrodite sang, brushing her hair and staring at herself in a mirror.
"Look at that car." Hermes beamed. "Didn't I create something really good this time? We should put them up for sale on the Olympus Net!"
Zeus made a screen appear in front of him and pushed it and suddenly Percy and Grover were driving in a toy charge up car with no roof. It was now a jeep.
"HEY!" Hermes protested.
"You can put these on Olympus Net. They'll have to upgrade them if they want better." Hades laughed. "Good one, brother."
Zeus' lips twitched as he fought a smile.
"You are being childish." Poseidon sighed.
"I was just trying to make it easier for Half-Bloods to get around." Hermes huffed, pouting. "But very well."
"We still need to give the campers the new cell phones." Apollo thought out loud. "These one's wont attract monsters to them and can be used in both worlds. They'll love them."
"Our car changed." Percy deadpanned to his companion.
"Had to be Zeus." Grover said, but didn't elaborate.
They'd finally reached Long Island.
"Where are we going from here, Grover?" Percy wondered. "I only know how to get to Montauk. "
Grover gave directions and it wasn't long until they were driving pass the border into a rundown and falling apart camp. People watched them as they drove towards the Big House the car now only going 5 MPH as a limit. Percy parked at the Big House and turned off the car. They unbuckled and got out. Percy taking the keys on the trident keychain with him and shoving them into his pocket.
"Mr. D, I brought a camper." Grover bleated. "Chiron." He nodded to the Centaur. "This is Percy Jackson."
Percy didn't say anything he didn't have to Zeus' voice echoed through the camp.
The Savior of our world, Percy Jackson, has been given the sacred gift of Gamer! He will use it to restore the Camp and Olympus thus saving all of us.
A tablet appeared and Percy caught it.
This is your best tool to do that. It also turns into a cell phone that can be used here and outside of Camp. All Campers will be given something similar in the next few days so that you may keep in contact with your families and access the Olympus Net.
Cars like this one are now available on the Olympus Net for all of your transportation needs.
Good luck, Percy Jackson son of Poseidon.
Zeus' voice vanished and a trident made of water appeared over Percy's head. Percy blinked up at it as it slowly vanished. They were really counting on him weren't they? Could he do this.
"Annabeth." Chiron called, motioning someone forward from the gathered crowd that was whispering excitedly. A girl about Percy's age came forward. "Take Percy to his Cabin. Percy, please drive your car to the Cabin and park it there."
Percy got giggles for opening the passenger door for Annabeth who fought back a blush and got in.
"Grover, we must talk." Mr. D said.
Grover looked about to faint.
Percy shut Annabeth's door and got in the driver's seat. He started the car and they were off.
"Lets do a tour." Annabeth decided. "Chiron wont mind."
Percy shrugged and let her tell him where to drive. The camp itself was rather big but everything was in bad shape even the strawberry fields and Percy loved Strawberries. They finally reached the cabins. Annabeth pointed out each one and told him who they represented.
"That one is Athena." She finally said, "Where I live. You're farther down. There's Hera, that one is always empty, Zeus, Hades and here you are Poseidon."
Percy parked behind the cabin and then they went inside. He breathed deeply as he entered. It smelled like Montauk. Everything was covered in dust it was clear that no one had been in here in a long time. He wandered around the cabin there wasn't much to see but he didn't care. He finally chose a bed.
Annabeth bit her lip as she stared at Percy Jackson. He seemed out of it. Should she do something? Should she say something? She made up her mind and just went and sat next to him on his bed. Neither said a word.
