Author's Note:

Right…. So, a bunch of things have happened since my last update.

My depression recently came back and I've had some suicidal thoughts these past few months. Don't worry, I'm still alive and here. Not going to leave any soon.

Likewise, I'm still working on this fanfic. I do believe I have about two more weeks of school left- so expect updates to be quite slow, but once summer comes I'll try and be on a laptop more often.

Anyways, I bring you the second chapter of Darkest Eyes.

Aria

I don't really know what happened when I woke up. All I knew was it felt like I was on my fucking damn period. But ironically enough, I wasn't on my fucking period. Maybe I was just grouchy.

I drove to the headquarters as always, using my ID to swipe to get into the elevator as the cold air hit my skin. I could hear the sound of gunshots and knives being thrown, all the while the coldness of the air was slapping my skin. Finally, the elevator dinged and I stepped out.

"Finally. There you are. Took you forever to get here-" My friend named Sylwia spoke as she threw me a granola bar. I unwrapped it and chewed on it. Sylwia was one of the older agent's here- I heard she had a boyfriend, but he was from a different branch. Her bubblegum-pink dyed hair was starting to fade to a cotton-candy pink as she ran towards me.

"I just overslept," I shrugged as I looked at her. I nervously twisted a piece of my lilac hair as I looked at her. Her striking blue eyes narrowed as she looked at me.

"And that I ignored my alarm," I added in, trying to help my case.

"Ah- Ariana. You're here," Papa spoke behind me. I mentally cringed, because I hated it when he called me by my full name. When he used my full name, usually something bad was going to happen, he had something planned for me, or he was going to tell me something.

"My office, please." I followed my papa to his office as he shut the door behind me.

"Papa, what is it?" I asked as I sat down in a chair.

"You do know that your half-brother Nico is with another branch, correct?" He spoke as he sat in his chair in his desk.

"Si, Papa." I replied softly.

"Well my dear, Kronos is coming back. I hear that the Luke Castallen boy has allied with him. However he has ended up in the hospital, that dumb boy." Hades spoke.

"K-Kronos? The leader of the mafia group Titans? And how on earth did Luke end up in the hospital? Isn't he supposed to be fucking strong and quick with that gun he has?" I questioned with an eyebrow raised.

"Yes, and he was attacked. By one of ours, I believe. I have their file, and they will be here shortly-" I heard the door open and I looked at the person. They had short, boy-cut hair that was choppy, with dark brown eyes that was surrounded by cat eyeliner, pale skin, wearing all black with two-inch heels. They had a hard look on their face with a certain fire in their eyes. They held an aura of seriousness and dominance, with a hint of maturity.

"You summoned me, sir?" They drawled. Even their wording made them sound like a fucking adult. They certain looked like one, with sharp, angular features, with feminine, chubby cheeks.

"Yes. Aria, this is Christine. Their real name is Melodie, but please, call them Christine." Papa spoke as he stood up.

"Pleasure." Christine replied, looking at me.

"So… you're the one who landed Luke in the hospital?" I asked softly. Christine nodded.

"That boy is a pussy when it comes to fights. I outdid him easily. My reflexes are faster than his. And that I have very sharp aim. That's why I tend to be hidden in the shadows with a sniper." They answered.

"I heard some talk of Nico. Nico Di Angelo?" Christine asked my father as they took a seat next to me.

"Yes, Nico. And as I said before, he works for a different branch. He and some other agents will be coming her later today. My brothers Zeus and Poseidon with our council have decided that we need to bond together to take Kronos down. Christine, no offence to you, you alone cannot defeat him. I know you can take most of his numbers including Luke himself, however you, one of our best agents here, will not be able to take him down. That is why this alliance has to be." Hades concluded.

I hadn't seen Nico in a long time. I was eighteen now, and I hadn't seen him ever since I was nine. The last time we had seen each other was when it was Christmas break, and papa was with his lovers, making a turkey for us. That was before Maria and Misaka perished in the accident when Nico and I were ten, and Bianca was twelve. Bianca was one of Artemis's agents, however she did come and see us every holiday.

See, Maria and Misaka were driving, and a drunk driver crashed right into them, and they perished on the spot. Nico and I weren't quite the same for about three months. We weren't sad. We were just dead. Hades remarried about two years later to Persephone, and to be honest, she wasn't a bad lady. Her mother was a vegan, and she was too, but she never scolded us for eating meat. She just loved us for who we were and we treated her the same.

I was excited to see my brother again. I was just hoping that he would be happy to see me.

"So Papa, we're teaming up together to bring down Kronos?" I asked him. Hades nodded at me.

"I believe that they will come by late-afternoon. And Christine- he is coming as well. I pray you to be ready." He spoke to them. Christine's face hardened and they nodded. I wondered what was wrong with them, and who "he" was.

Deciding it was none of my business, I looked at Hades again.

"Spread the word. You both are dismissed." With that, Christine got up and opened the door and slammed the door shut behind them and I looked at the door and back at Hades.

"Don't mind them. They just have a rough history with one of the people from the other branch." Hades answered. I nodded, still looking at the door, and walked to open the door, and when I did, I walked out and shut the door behind me, softly this time.

Soon, it turned into late-afternoon, and I heard the doors open. There was complete silence and soon, whispers broke out.

". . . Dominick!" I heard Sylwia yell. Who the hell was Dominick? I saw her looking at a tall, pale boy wearing all black, his short black hair looking untamed with sharp, bright blue eyes and they glowed when they saw Sylwia. She ran down with a smile on her face and hugged him tight.

"That must be her boyfriend," Dea replied to me.

"I believe so," Christine spoke from behind us.

"Geez Christine, calm down." I replied. But Christine wasn't looking at me. They were focused on a tall, Mexican boy with tanned skin, a pair of small dark brown eyes, with black hair that was covering his eyes, with a pair of small lips. He was wearing black like the rest of us and the group, but there was something about him that made me uneasy. And he wasn't looking at me.

He was looking at Christine. Christine's body stance seemed to be swaying now, and I could see that their body was shaking. They looked like they were about to kneel over.

In about three seconds, their body kneeled over and I saw that they collapsed, and I ran over to help. The Mexican boy ran over too, but Dea shot him a withering glare.

"Go away Orlando. You've done enough. Let's not do a reenact of what happened a few years ago, now should we?" She snarled. The boy- Orlando, looked at her and stepped back as some other agents ran over to pick up Christine, in which they faltered a little, but they picked them up and hoisted them over to the nurse.

"Nicolas," I heard Hades speak behind me. I watched as the group separated and Nico walked up front, his eyes dark and his dark circles being prominent on his face, showing he didn't quite get enough sleep as he wanted.

"Father," Nico's deep melodious voice vibrated through the room. I could tell he had matured a lot since the last time I had seen him, since I was taller when he and I were both ten, when we were at our mother's funerals. He had gotten quite taller, and puberty had favored him greatly. I remembered him being scrawny with little muscle, very annoying and he had a high-pitched voice, and always had a dorky smile. Now, he had muscles, but they weren't very visible, his voice was lower, deeper, and kind of had a rich, dark quality to it. His smile was replaced by a straight line, and he stood tall and dominating. He most definitely got that from Papa.

"Dude Leo! We're gonna be late!" I heard another male voice yell.

"Well if you haven't eaten that cheeseburger Perce, maybe we could've made it here faster with the rest of them- but you didn't think about that, huh? Neeks is gonna have our fucking necks you dumbass!" I heard another male voice yell out, before bam! Two boys fell on the floor, one of them looking Hispanic and he looked kind of a Santa's elf, and the other looking like almost a swimmer model. The two of them stood up, and I could see them clearly, and I heard a couple of girls squeal.

"Oh my gods, it's Percy Jackson!" I heard one girl giggle.

Percy Jackson. I had heard that name before. If I was correct, he was one of the best agents over at his branch. Now that I could see him more clearly with the Hispanic-looking elf, I could say he was attractive.

Percy had jet-black, messy hair like Neeks, but it wasn't as messy as Nico's. It looked more like he had blow-dried his hair, with a pair of sea green eyes that shined with golden, sun-kissed skin. He had more muscles than Nico, or the elf boy next him, probably from all the training.

"Percy Jackson and Leo Valdez," I heard Hades drawl as he placed a hand on my shoulder. I shivered and jumped a little. I saw the jet-black haired boy- the one that had a swimmer's body- Percy, lock eyes with me. He looked a little awed, and so did I. We seemed to stare at each other, memorizing each other's eyes, until Hades cleared his throat, maybe a little too loudly. We stopped looking at each other and I locked eyes with my Papa.

"Right. I assume everyone is here? Good. Now, as I was saying, Nicolas, everyone from your branch is here?" Papa was back to addressing Nico again. Upon hearing his full name, Nico scowled.

"Yes, Papa. Everyone's here. Where are we going to stay?" He asked.

"You'll have to split up. I already assigned where your branch is going to stay. Percy is with Aria, you and your Valdez will be with Dea, Jason is with Piper, Hazel is with Frank, Reyna is with Annabeth, and Orlando shall be with Melodie, once they wake up. You are all dismissed. We will discuss the plans tomorrow. Everyone gets a free night off. Goodnight." With that, he walked back up to his office and slammed the door shut, and everyone broke out into loud chatter.

I watched as Percy was dragged by Leo over to us, and Orlando had his head bowed down.

"Hey little brother." I smirked down at Nico. Nico scowled at me.

"Will you always bring that up every time we get together?" He snapped. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes you dummy. I'm three months older than you." I replied. That made him scowl more.

"Oh sober up. I'm not assigned to sleep with you. We only bathed together when we were kids." I snapped at him this time.

"But we were kids!" He protested.

"Exactly! I'd imagine you have shower sex with your boyfriend there-" I pointed at Leo. Nico's ears turned red, so did Leo's.

"N-W-Well.. Don't get into my sex life!" He yelled, making some of the other agents look at us weird. The rest of them were looking at us weird.

"Wait- Nico you have a third sister?" Percy asked. Nico nodded.

"This is Ariana, she's my half-sister, and like she said, she's three months older than me." I scowled when he addressed me by my full name.

"Thanks, Nicolas." I snapped. This time, he scowled.

"Fuck off Aria." He hissed.

"No thank you. You're not my type little brother. That's terrible incest." I replied, patting his head. He simply looked up at me and glared.

I patted his head one more time, and skipped off to the cafeteria, as much as I could try skipping in the painful fucking heels, and grabbed something to eat.

Percy

I feel like awed wasn't a good word to describe something I felt towards Nico's older sister. Aria, I think her name was. Maybe awed wasn't a good enough word describe what I felt towards her. I didn't like her, but something about her drew me in.

Her eyes. They were the darkest shade of green I had ever seen. Paired with her lilac hair, pale skin, and her black clothing, it looked like a perfect union. I was trapped by her eyes.

The darkest eyes I had ever seen. No one had told me that I had to watch out for the girl with the darkest eyes.

A/N:

Well, that ended on an okay note. I was planning to write in Percy and Aria's first actually intimate time together- not like that you perverts. I kind of stopped it here in Percy's point of view, but I might just change my mind when I finish this and rewrite it with that scene added in, or I won't write it at all and just put it as a separate one-shot here, same with Dea/Nico/Leo moments that I won't include in the story.

As for Christine(Melodie)/Orlando, I think you'll see them a bit more in the next chapter, and find out what Dea's line meant when she said: "Go away Orlando. You've done enough. Let's not do a reenact of what happened a few years ago, now should we?" She snarled."

I'm not sure how to really approach Arcy (Aria and Percy), as a ship/couple yet. Every couple in here will have at least a slow build-up, so the romance won't be there so often.

However, there might be rated M things coming your way in the future, so if you're not comfortable with that type of stuff, skip it.

Let me know in the reviews or just by PMing if you want that meeting moment of Percy and Aria having to share her apartment with each other just a one-shot, because that could possibly lead me to playing with their characters a bit.

I know some of the characters seem a bit OOC, but that's just kind of how I picture them in this fanfic, to be honest.

In my opinion, Uncle Rick's characters are kind of pulpy, if that makes sense. All of his characters have a sense of humanity to them, characteristics that makes them human. And I find that with the whole storyline, makes me enjoy his books, and his characters.

I know my characters are kind of almost really flawed. They seem strong, but when love comes around, they become a bit weak.

Love makes you weak. You don't expect love to be there, but it's where you least expect it. So with the love parts of the story, they'll be really confused, lost in the sense of their emotions. Not literally lost, peeps. I think I'll have lots of fun writing that in much detail.

Welp, I'm done with this update. I'll try and update pretty soon.
