Third POV.
*New York Alley*
Nico di Angelo had just shadow traveled back to New York, after another accidental trip to the Great Wall of China, and was making his way to his cousin's apartment when one of his least favorite goddesses appeared in front of him.
"Lady Persephone." He said with annoyance. "What are you doing here?"
"You will watch this cat for the next fifteen days I am very busy and your father is . . . preoccupied at the moment." She spoke as she handed him a pet carrier. The cat hissed.
"But animals hate me." Nico said taking the sound the wrong way making his dad feel bad.
"His name is Hades." She continued as if she hadn't heard him. "I will come for him up when your time is up. He will never stray more than 20ft away from you so you can't lose him, and he shall remain unseen by mortals. Do not fail your father with this, as you have so many other times."
Nico sighed this was not what he needed right now. He just wanted to relax at Percy's! Not take care of some stupid cat!
"Well I guess we're both going to Percy's. Let's go."
*Central Park*
Thalia sighed as she sat down. She had just 'quit' the hunters (Technically it was a mutual disband as they both had the same thought.) to spend more time with her cousins who were both living with Percy's mom. How would she explain this? You can't just walk in saying "Hey I'm living here to now. Where's dinner?" No. How to phrase it that was the tricky part.
While Thalia was busy thinking she didn't notice her royal pain in the a** until she was right in front of her. When she finally noticed her she glared. The had a glare off for at least two minutes before her ADHD kicked in and she saw Hera was holding a pet carrier.
"What's with the cat?" Thalia said rudely.
"Here you will be watching him for fifteen days. He will never go too far away and will be hidden from mortals by the mist." The queen of Olympus said as she gave Thalia the pet carrier.
"His name is Zeus. Good luck." With that she flashed out not giving the daughter of Zeus enough time to react.
"What the Hades!"
"Exactly my thoughts." Zeus meowed.
Thalia sighed for about the millionth time that day.
"Well now is as good a time as ever." She mumbled as she set off for Percy's.
*Percy's Apartment*
It was the weekend. Percy just wanted to sleep in. So when his least favorite goddess flashed in telling him what to do he wasn't very happy. Who wakes up at 1p.m. on a Saturday anyway? So this is how it went.
Percy was lying on his bed sleeping in his t-shirt and sweatpants when a bright flash filled the room. Out of that flash, unfortunately, came Amphitrite, queen of Atlantis.
"WAKE UP!" She yelled.
"5 more minutes."
"Get up right now!"
"Who is it?"
"Queen of the ocean now get up!"
"Leave a message and come back later."
The queen of Atlantis silently fumed, and she could have sworn her husband was laughing at her from his place in the pet carrier. She splashed Percy with ice cold sea water. He opened one eye and stared at her completely dry.
"What exactly was that supposed to accomplish."
Now she was sure her husband was laughing at her.
"Just get up. I need to talk to you."
"Noooo! It's Saturday. Who gets up before 1 on a Saturday anyway?"
"EVERYONE now get UP!"
She smirked satisfied as the son of Poseidon fell out of bed.
"Fine. I'm up. What can I do for you oh mighty queen of the ocean? " Percy asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Watch this cat for me for fifteen days. He can't stray more than 20ft away, his name is Poseidon, and mortals can't see him. Have fun." She said, and flashed out.
Percy looked at the cat. That carrier did not look comfortable. He voiced his thoughts and unlocked the door of the cage. The cat jumped on his shoulders just as the doorbell rang.
Percy got up and opened the door to reveal his two favorite, and least favorite, cousins each with a cat of their own. Coming to stay with him for the next fifteen days. This will be an interesting few weeks.
