I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus

Percy POV

I could tell we reached the soldier's base when I could no longer feel the sand underneath my feet and while the smell of the ocean was not as strong I could sense it surrounding me.

The soldiers led my cousins and me through a maze of hallways that even if I didn't have a blindfold on it might be impossible to memorize them the first time. They trained guns on our backs, which was really unnecessary because we had already told them that we would be coming with them and the weapons that we had wouldn't hold against their guns.

I noticed immediately when my cousins and I were separated after what seemed like forever of walking, because I was maneuvered into a room and pushed down into a chair. Once the door closed behind us, the man who had taken the lead earlier started talking, "Sorry about all of that, but it was necessary."

"I would have done the same thing," nodding towards the soldier.

I tapped my fingers on the metal table, the only thing that separated me from the soldier, before he said, "You can relax, and we do not hurt our own."

"'Own'? What do you mean by that?" I asked.

He raised an eyebrow, "Half-siblings. This is the Army of Poseidon, plus allies."

I couldn't come up with an intelligent answer, so all I said was, "Oh."

The soldier looked amused, "Yes, 'oh'."

It was silent for a moment before I asked, "Sorry, but what's your name?" I decided to try and lessen the tension by adding, "My mother told me not to talk to strangers," I gave him a smile that I've been told looks very similar to my dad's.

He looked amused before sticking out his hand, "Andrew Preston."

I reached over to meet his hand half-way, "Perseus Jackson, but I tend to go by Percy."

One of Andrew's eyebrows rose, "Named after a son of Zeus?"

I shook my head, "I like to think of it that I was named after one of the rare heroes that had a happy ending."

Then I realized I had forgotten about my cousins and how they were holding up, "Andrew, what exactly is happening to my cousins?"

"I believe that they are being interrogated, same with you, but only they are more heavily guarded because of their birth parents," Andrew said.

"Thalia is a daughter of Zeus though," I said.

"Yes and even though we're technically on the same side of the war, children of Poseidon and children of Zeus do not like to associate with one another during the war unless necessary," Andrew explained as if I should know this already. "How did you meet the son of Hades?"

"Rescued him from a monster," I stated simply, technically it was true. "Thalia and I were in the area when we heard a monster attacking a younger kid that we realized was a half-blood. It wasn't until a few months of travelling together that we realized that he was a son of Hades."

Andrew nodded, "So he doesn't share the same beliefs of the opposition?"

"Not at all," I nearly exclaimed. "He's a good kid, a bit dark due to his heritage, but a good kid."

Andrew nodded, "That's good enough for me for now, he'll obviously be monitored for a while to make sure we can trust him, same with the daughter of Zeus, but to a lesser extent. Now the real question is how did you escape conscription?" He leaned forward and made eye contact with me.

I looked back at Andrew and saw that his eyes were exactly the same as mine, which freaked me out for a moment, before answering, "If I knew I would tell you, but even I'm still confused about the details."

Andrew looked confused, "What do you mean?"

"Look," I said putting my hands up in an almost surrender position. "I would tell you, but I'm not sure if the information that I would give you would change events."

"Change events?" Andrew asked,

"I've said too much already, Thalia is going to kill me," I said.

One of Andrew's eyebrows rose, "Why would Thalia kill you?"

I rolled my eyes and slumped back, "They consider me the leader due to some…events," I said loosely. "But Thalia is more assertive."

"Sounds like most children of Zeus that I've met," Andrew said and I nodded along with him.

There was a bit of silence before I decided to ask Andrew, "So tell me about what's all going on here."

"Well, like I told you this is the base for Poseidon's Army and our allies. The base itself is connected to the beach near Folkestone and leads to the ocean," Andrew began.

"So we're underwater?" I asked.

"Yeah, can't you feel it?" Andrew asked.

"Well, yeah, at first I thought it was just because we were close to the sea but you just confirmed it," I said with a smile. "This is brilliant."

"It's good for the children of Poseidon, gives us more energy," Andrew said. "We've got training facilities…"

"What does Poseidon's Army do?" I asked.

He hesitated, "Mostly we go out on missions to kill monsters that are sent out by enemy forces to harm us and/or mortals. We also help the British Army strategize since they're the main army."

"Sounds cool," I nodded. "I can't believe I never heard of it."

"You should have, most godly parents direct their children to this base when they reach 13 or have a satyr collect them at that age. How all three of you went underneath the radar is beyond me," Andrew stated with a shake of his head.

I was about to say something, when the guy who took Thalia away for questioning came into the room smoking. His hair had been burnt, probably by Thalia too, then the guy who took Nico in for questioning bursts in.

Andrew looked at me and told me to wait for a moment.

Twenty minutes later, a long time for an ADHD demigod, Andrew re-entered the room and instead of the smile I had been expecting like I had received before he left, I got a slight suspicious look.

"So, when were you going to tell me you and your cousins were from the future?" Andrew raised an eyebrow at me.

Updates are going to be random due to the fact that this story isn't one of my high priorities of stories.
