Chapter 3

Explanations

The two quickly ate breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon and pancakes, and then decided to head out. They stopped by a nearby clothing store so Percy wouldn't have to stay in rags and picked up a couple t-shirts some jeans and a new pair of running shoes along with a jacket. Then they went to Grand Central station and hopped on a train going south.

They found an empty train car and sat down to talk more.

"Ok," Jason started, "I should probably explain exactly who I am. I'm Jason Nakao and I'm from another dimension." He said casually. Percy just stared at him confused since he didn't know what a dimension was other than the 3D movies that he always thought were dumb.

"What does that mean, another di-men-sion?" Percy asked, having to sound out 'dimension' since he never used it before.

"It means I'm from another world. Not alien but another Earth that is similar to this one. There are millions of dimension out there and each one has something unique and different about them. The one I come from has no magic or gods in it. This world is one where the ancient Greek gods are still around today." He paused to take a breath with Percy barely following along.

"I'm part of an inter-dimensional organization called the 'United Dimensions', a group of universes that band together for friendship and protection led by me, my brother, and my two best friends. We explore the multiverse finding new dimensions. Right now we are heading for California to a base I set up there. While I'm in this dimension I go around fighting monsters and gathering some special things, and occasionally save lost demigods like you, though you're the first one I've brought with me. Any questions?" He finally stopped ranting on. Percy had quite a few.

"How did you do that thing with the fire on your hand?"

"That's one of my many powers. In my travels I've learned how to do all sorts of things, but when I came to this dimension I was flung back in time to about two months ago, I'm really from 2014 you know 10 years from now, but I'll explain that later. I can still uses my powers but they aren't as strong and I have to reconnect to a few them. Right now I focusing on reconnecting to my powers.

I also have a lot of weapons. Right now I have my black sword, my hidden wrist blade," He pulled back his jacket sleeve to reveal a retractable blade strapped to his left arm, "and a lot of gear at my base, I've also got powers like earth bending, which I can use to control rocks and boulders, and my Fire Dragon Slayer magic which allows me to control, use and even eat fire, as well as giving me enhanced senses." As he said this he lit a small flame on his finger surprising Percy who at first was startled but then stared in wonder. "Though I do get a little sick on vehicles when I use the power, you get used to it with a bit of training."

"Can I learn how to do that?" Percy asked excitedly.

"I doubt it since your father is Poseidon, he controls water so trying to have you use fire might not end well," He said as Percy began to pout, "but I might be able to teach you how to do it with water or something else." This excited Percy even more since he really loved water more than anything.

"Wow, really?" The excited child asked eagerly, Jason chuckled at this.

"Yeah, it may seem a bit difficult at first but I'm sure you can do it. We can work it into your training. Which reminds me, did you ever go to school?" Percy shook his head

"No my stepfather Gabe always said school was for losers with no life and that it cost too much money." This got Jason angry yet again, he was no fan of school but everyone deserved a chance at learning. After calmed down he started again.

"Alright that's another thing we can add into your training. So that make fighting, dragon slayer magic, mythology, and general education. One for every weekday if we split math and science from English and history with alternate lessons on Saturday and you'll have Sunday off is that ok?" Jason rambled on finally finishing with a question for Percy who just nodded slightly lost but happy he would have at least one day off.

"Well I think I'm done for now, any questions?" Percy nodded with two major question popping up. "Yeah, well two really, are you a demigod as well?" Jason smiled and let out a slight chuckle

"No I'm not a demigod, I'm just a regular mortal who just so happens to have powers and magic weapons and is able see and fight monsters and gods." Percy cautiously nodded while trying to find any sarcasm in his answer. To his shock he couldn't find any at all.

"Really?"

"Yep." Jason said popping the 'p'.

"Wow." Percy then remembered his second question.

"Why are you doing this for me? You don't even really know me and you could have just dropped me off at that camp you mentioned and be done with me, it's not like I matter much to anyone." Percy asked sadly making Jason wonder just how bad his life was.

"Because I may not be able to see the future but I know just by looking at you that you are not going to have an easy future, I figured I might as well try to give you a nice life and prepare you for the future to give you a better chance at survival." Jason said leaving a confused but grateful Percy sitting in slight shock as their train pulled in a station.

AN:Well that's the exposition for a bit. The next chapter jumps to a new group, anyone who knows the series well will be able to figure it out. As a warning my character's powers are inconsistent at times but he mainly relies on his sword.
