Ch. 2 It Begins

May 31, 2006

As a student of Yancy Academy, Percy formerly known as Logan but also known as the Wolverine to the monsters of the Underworld, was constantly a stickler for trouble. Try as he might, the accidents he had were not his fault. He smelt them. Apparently, they didn't get the memo when he sent the last beast to Tarturus.

Chiron felt it best to keep an eye on Percy by acting as his Latin teacher with Grover as his protector. Sad thing is, Percy didn't need protection, so it was only right that he not trust them with his secret, neither did Sally.

A freckled face bitch named Nancy Bobofit was seriously pissing Percy off as she was throwing wads of sandwich at Grover in which they got stuck in his hair. Percy was already on probation for standing up to bullies and defending those who can't defend themselves. The Headmaster had threatened Percy with Death by in-school suspension if anything bad happened.

When another wad of sandwich wound up in Grovers' hair, courtesy of Nancy, Percy snapped. "That's it, she's dead!"

Percy got up to go confront her, but Grover stopped him. "Hey it's cool, I like Peanut Butter anyway man. Besides, you're on probation. You know who'll get blamed if anything happens."

Percy so wanted to pound her face in. But it seemed his suspicions about something coming was about to become a reality. He then felt something in himself. A familiar sense of extra weight on his body. Turning where no one could look, he slowly and as quietly as he could let his claws out a bit, and lo and behold, his Adamantium metal had returned. He smiled a sly smile and just hoped it didn't effect his continues growth. Letting his claws re-holster themselves back into his wrist, he sat upright while acting normal as can be.

Chiron under his assumed form of Mr. Brunner while in his magical wheelchair, led the museum tour. He had led the students through a lot of Greek and Roman antiques, none of which impressed Percy due to seeing it before in his past life.

The class was led by Chiron to a statue of a huge sphinx on the top and started to tell the class how it was a grave marker, a 'stele', for a young girl around the current childrens age. Percy tuned him out as he knew everything already. No, his attention was on Mrs. Dodds who was giving him the stink eye. Percys' inner beast was telling him she was a threat and wasn't what she appeared.

Mrs. Dodds was a math teacher from Georgia, or so she claimed. She always wore a black leather jacket, even though she looked fifty. Percy wasn't fooled. He smelt Brimstone and Sulfur coming from her the first day she arrived and something more. Something beastial like. The Biker chick look didn't fool Percy.

She treated Nancy like gold where as she treated Percy like a demon spawn. Percy had always kept her within his sights every time she was around or near him. She'd assign him detentions doing things that just pissed off Percy even more. Today, he confided in Grover that Mrs. Dodds wasn't human, Grover agreed. When he wouldn't say anything else, Percy almost strangled him until he found out she was really a Fury who was sent to keep an eye on Percy.

At that revelation, Percy mentally prepared himself for a showdown with the Demonic Bitch from hell.

Nancy snickered when she heard Grover agree with Percy but she didn't see Percy almost assault his best friend or hear the comment about Mrs. Dodds being a Fury.

"Will you please shut the hell up?" Percy hollered out loud at the freckled faced idiototic girl.

"Mr. Jackson, did you have a comment?" Chiron/Mr. Brunner asked in front of everyone.

Not one to show embarrassment on his face, with a look of steel resolve he answered, "No Mr. Brunner!" while giving Nancy a look of pure loathing.

Chiron/Brunner kept on teaching when my eyes locked onto Mrs. Dodds who tried to circle around me as if she was studying the best way to attack me. I gave a snarl at the Fury who went wide-eyed but then smirked as if she was gonna enjoy this. Game on.

They came upon a scene of Kronos eating the Gods of Olympus on several antiques. But Percy was too focused on the Fury as Chiron kept trying to get his attention as his words fell on deaf ears around Percy. Chiron/Brunner would talk to Percy later in the day to admonish him, but Percy would have none of it as he informed Chiron he knew what Mrs. Dodds was and was wanting to keep her within his sights whenever she was around.

When lunch began, Nancy appeared in front of Percy with her ugly ass friends and dumped her half eaten sandwich on Grovers lap. "Oops!" she grinned showing her crooked teeth. Percy was really losing his cool around this broad, that his mind went blank as he thought he heard a wave roar in his ears.

Though he didn't touch her, he knew that somehow he was responsible for Nancy winding up in one of the Museum Fountains. Nancy screamed, "Percy pushed me!"

Suddenly, the Fury in human form, Mrs. Dodds was beside him with a deadly grin. Some of the kids began to whisper and gossip that the water grabbed Nancy. Knowing who his biological father was in this world, he figured it was something he needed to train himself to control lest he lose control again.

When Mrs. Dodds finished babying that bitch Nancy, she turned to Percy with a malicious grin. He decided to return the grin with a challenging growl.

"Now Honey.."

"Don't Honey me hag, what do you want?", Even if it wasn't the right thing to say, Percy sure felt good saying it.

"Come with me,"

"Wait", Grover cried out, "It was me. I pushed her."

"Save it Grover, this isn't gonna help me. Besides, I can take care of myself. So relax, I'll be back." Percy reassures him, god bless his soul. "He's a good friend, but in my opinion, I work best alone. Whatever she's up to, I can take it." He thinks to himself

She nods as she hears Percy refusing to let Grover take the blame, but has a look that says, "that's what you think." "Mr. Underwood, You-will-stay-here. Understood?"

A look from Percy has him nodding. Somehow he doesn't think Percy can take her. That he's inexperienced. If he only knew.

Turning his eyes on Nancy Bobofits' smirking face, He gives her the "Bitch, you're next look." Turning back to Mrs. Dodds, Percy sees she's pulled a disappearing trick on him. That's cute, but fine, my heightened senses work just fine." He thinks to himself. Following her scent, he tracks her to see her standing at the museum entrance at the top of the steps, way at the top of the steps with an impatient look and gestures Percy to come on. Didn't Hades teach his bitches patience was a virtue?

Halfway up the steps Percy turns back to Grover who kept looking between him and Chiron with a pale look as Percy smirks, gives him a salute that said 'wish me luck.' Looking at Chiron, he sees his head stuck in a book, but he's pretty sure that it's a cover as he knows Chiron would follow. He shouldn't worry, much! Turning back, he see Mrs. Dodds disappeared yet again. Sighing and shaking his head, he just follows his nose as she was now inside the building at the end of the entrance hall. He follows her deeper into the museum. He finally caught up to her in the Greek and Roman section of the building. He knew the place was empty as he kept his senses sharp, in case of an attack.

Mrs. Dodds stood sideways to him with her arms crossed in front of a big marble Frieze of the Greek gods. She was trying to psych Percy out by growling. Deciding to use reverse psychology on the Furies ass, he growls right back. She's staring at the Frieze like she wants to pummel it till nothings left.

"You've been giving us problems, honey," she says.

"Your point?", he replies as he looks at her then at the statue she stared at, then back at her. He noticed the statue was of his father, Poseidon.

Tugging at the cuffs of her leather jacket, she asked in a now altered voice, "Did you really think you would get away with it?" Looking into her eyes, Percy sees she's got the "I'm gonna tear you apart and eat you." look.

"You accusing me of something?" He growls warningly with his fists just itching to pop his claws.

"We are not fools Percy Jackson," She says. "It was only a matter of time before we found you out. Confess, and you will suffer less pain."

Not knowing what she's talking about, "If you're talking about pain, let's just cut the bullshit and get right down to it Demon."

She turns fully towards him with eyes wide. "You know?"

"I've been onto you since day one. It's your scent, you smell of Sulfur and Brimstone." he replies.

"Well, it seems the time for hiding amongst you humans is up. Time to die." she screeches. As she begins to transform into her true form of a Fury, he watches as her leather jacket melts into large leathery wings. Her eyes burning with fire and brimstone, her fingers stretching into talons. She was definitely a hag with bat-like wings and a mouth full of fangs that could undoubtedly tear a normal man to pieces.

"Good thing I'm not a normal man or kid." Percy thinks to himself. "Finally, something we can both agree on." he says as his claws pop out of his fists and he takes a defensive stance readying himself for battle. The look of shock on her face is priceless as she gazes at his claws then his eyes as they now take a golden feral sheen. "What is he?" she asks herself as she gazes at the claws then his eyes several times. She then realized there was a bigger predator in the world, and it was not she.

Chiron/Mr. Brunner who'd been out in front of the museum a minute before wheeled in and stopped to gaze upon the confrontation only to see the claws on Percys' hands. The Fury looks upon Brunner and sees a pen in his hand, but turns back to Percy who'd rather watch her.

"What ho, Percy!" He shouts throwing the pen at him only for Percy to instinctually reach out and catch it and throw it back without taking his eyes off the Fury.

"I don't need it Chiron, thanks for the help though. This bitch is mine."

At that, the Fury attacks as does Percy who roars out a battle cry as the two lunge and collide in mid-air only for them to fall to the floor with Percy on top because of his Adamantium laced Skeletons weight as well as his Adamantium Claws having penetrated the Furies chest. Before she could get up, Percy quickly yanks one set of his claws out and cuts her head clean off. Stepping back, he watches as with a hiss, her body and head explodes into golden dust that disappears moments later.

"Did not know who she was fucking with.", he said as he spat at where the female Fury also known as Mrs. Dodds apparently died. He was willing to bet his allowance that she'd be back and with reinforcements.

Turning back, he sees Chiron with a look of both intrigue and fear. "What are you?" Chiron asks in an almost whispering tone of fear.

Re-holstering his claws back into his wrists with the skin healing over, Percy replies, "Just someone who refuses to die and is the best there is at what he does, but what I do best, isn't very nice, as you just saw. Now, wanna tell me why a Fury has been tailing my ass all year?"

"I cannot Percy, but what I do know is that you are no normal Demi-God. I've never in all the centuries that I've been alive seen anyone like you, with a feral quality to them and still be human. But I think it's time you came to camp so we can figure out what you are."

"I already know what I am. You wanna know, you can ask the Fates, they'll tell you I'm sure, if you ask nicely. I won't, since you obviously don't trust me and won't tell me why that Fury was after me, I'll just keep to my own secrets until you decide to start talking."

Chiron nodding his head, just looked down in shame and thought as Percy collected himself and walked by the Ancient Centaur.

Deciding to call it a day, Percy decided to head back to the Academy and give himself a shower and a rest. He'd call Sally later when he was rested.

Almost a week later, on a late night, he watched as Grover left to go speak to Chiron, no doubt about what had happened to Mrs. Dodds. Having been trained as a Samurai and a ninja in his past life and kept up his training since he could walk in this new life, he silently followed Grover while sticking to the shadows. As Grover met up with Chiron in his office, Percy silently crept up to the side of the office door as he listened, attuning his hearing so he could hear every word being said.

"...alone this summer, I mean a Kindly one in the school! Now they know for sure as we do-"

"We would only make matter worse by rushing him." Chiron said. "We need Percy to mature more."

"But we may not have time. The summer solstice deadline-"

"Will have to be resolved without him, Grover. Let him-"

Chiron didn't get to say much more as Percy got tired of how they spoke about him behind his back as he stepped in front of the door and kicked it in, causing the two individuals to jump at his intrusion..

"Alright, enough talking like I'm ignorant. Something's going on and I wanna know what. Now someone better start talking before I get real mad. And trust me, you don't wanna make me mad."

"How long have you been listening Percy?" Chiron asks.

"Long enough. Now what's this about a Summer Solstice deadline?"

Chiron just sighs and holds his hand out and offers a chair. When Percy sits he begins to explain that there is a dispute between Zeus and Poseidon because Zeus' Master Lightning Bolt which proceeded all others was stolen. He thinks Percy stole it and knows there is now a connection Percy and Poseidon. In fact he knows that Percy is Poseidons' son. Something Percy knows and won't deny as he nods.

"So let me get this straight, Zeus thinks I stole the Bolt? And If I'm hearing this right, I've got till this Summer Solstice to get it back, right?" Percy asks as the clogs in his head starts working out a foreseeable problem. His mothers in danger if Zeus, Hades, or the other Gods go after him through her. It was in the Gods nature to use people, 'Innocent People' as bait to get what they want.

Quickly standing up, he walks out as he heads to his room to pack so he can begin his trek home. He hears Grover running up behind him hollering, "Percy?"

When Grover reaches him, he asks, "Percy, what are you gonna do? Where are you going?"

"Home!" is his gruff reply as he enters his dorm room and packs. When he's done, he begins to head towards the exit as Chiron approaches in his wheelchair, "Percy, it's not safe for you out there."

"That's where you're wrong Chiron. It's my mother who's not safe. If anything happens to her, there will be a reckoning. The party responsible won't be able to hide from me. If Zeus, Hades, or any of the other Gods fucks with my mother, I'll make them wish they were never born or created. You tell them that. You tell them I'll give them a war they wouldn't believe." Exiting the door, they could already see they sky clouding over in response to Percys' threat.

Chiron hoped it wasn't too late. God Help them all.
