Percy vapor traveled and reappeared at the base of the Empire State Building, the entrance to Mount Olympus. Walking in, she clasped her Camp-Half Blood necklace around her neck and removed the Mist that had been hiding her Roman SPQR tattoo from mortal view. The secuirty guard that was off to the side, guarding a specific elevator didn't look up from the comic book his head was buried in, even though Percy knew that he knew that she was standing there.

"I need the key for the six hundreth floor." Percy said. Her words caused the man to sigh and start to speak before he had even begun to raise his head.

"Ma'am, there is no six hundreth floor." He raised his head, finally, and his eyes met hers, his eyes changing from bored to worshipful in a matter of seconds. "Miss Jackson! It is such an honor to have you here today. I am so sorry that I didn't recognize you as soon as you walked up! Here is the key card and you have a wonderful day!"

Percy just smiled at the man and took the red key card from the man before walking onto the elevator and sliding the key card into the slot once inside the elevator. The elevator doors closed and immediately the elevator began to rise, faster than a normal elevator and Percy tried to keep her mind on anything but the horrible music playing in the elevator.

Before long the elevator dinged open, revealing the kingdom of the gods. She began to walk towards the hall where the gods were convening for the Olympian Council. She didn't notice that minor gods and goddesses, as well as satyrs and naiads, bowed to her upon noticing whom she was.

The Hero of Olympus rarely visited Mount Olympus, but when she did, she was treated with great respect from all, even if some gods - Ares, Dionysus, Hera, Athena - just to name a few, disliked her. And she was the only demigod to ever be allowed to attend an Olympian Council meeting and be allowed to voice her thoughts on issues, as if she were apart of it. Entering the hall, she noticed that all of the Olympians were there and Hestia was attending to her hearth in the corner. The gods had been talking amongst themselves, waiting for the meeting to begin, when Percy walked in, her prescence silcening them all.

They had been searching for her for a few months after she had disappeared from Camp Half-Blood, and hadn't been able to find her in all of that time. But here she was appearing before them, unharmed.

"Percy!" Poseidon exclaimed in relief moving from his throne beside his brother and shrinking down to human size to embrace his daughter. "Thank gods you are alright!"

Percy pulled back and grinned at her father. "I'm happy to see you as well, Dad."

Poseidon opened his mouth to question his daughter but before he could, his brother - the drama queen - spoke. "Brother, it is time to start this Council. You will have time after this meeting to talk with Percy then."

The god of the sea rolled his eyes, his back still to the other gods so only Percy saw and she had to muffle her giggle at her father's expression.

"Yes, brother." Poseidon said, not even going to argue with his brother. The god hugged his daughter one last time before turning and flashing into his godly form, Percy instinctually covering her eyes. She lowered her hand from her eyes after the light was gone and saw that her father had resumed his seat and that a comfortable chair had been zapped into existence behind her so that she could sit and listen to what was going to be discussed.

"I, Zeus, king of the gods, call this Olympian Council meeting to order." Zeus proclaimed.

"Now, my fellow Olympians, and Percy, are there any matters that need to be brought up this evening?" Zeus asked. The Olympians started to open their mouths but Percy beat them to it.

"I have two, Uncle, and I would like the Council to vote on the matters." As one, all turned their heads and pierced the 26 year old demigod with their powerful gazes. Zeus raised an eyebrow and traded looks with his brother whom was just as curious as he to hear Percy's request.

"Yes, Niece, what is it?" Zeus asked. Percy took a deep breath to calm her nerves, knowing that if the council denied her, she would never be able to fully be with Bruce.

"My first matter - or well request really - is to have the permission to tell a select few mortals of the Greek world."

Her words caused an outcry to begin to erupt around the room as the gods began to protest. The only ones who hadn't spoken were, surprisingly Aphrodite, her father, Zeus, and Hera. Finally, Zeus had had enough.

"SILENCE!" he boomed, causing the gods that had been protesting to silence. He turned his gaze on his niece. "Explain yourself."

"I am just going to say it, not beat around the bush. I am in love, have been in love with this man for over ten years but I can not be with him if I have this secret in between us, especially when he tells me his." Percy could practically hear Aphrodite's squeal at her procmaltion of her being in love and knew immedaitely that she had Aphrodite's vote, and Hephaestus's, whom wouldn't vote against his wife. Ares could go either way. It really depended on if Aphrodite or Ares were arguing again, and if so, Ares would vote against whatever Aphrodite voted for. She could also see that she would have her father's vote as well, as well as Hermes's as Hermes owed her a favor from a few years ago from not ratting him out after he pulled a prank on Hera. So that was 4 out of 12 votes so far… She didn't know how she would be able to sway the others. She just had to get three more on her side to put it into her favor.

"We became penpals years ago, before I knew about this world that was hiding in plain sight. I would have asked if I could have this as my favor after the Titan War but I had given my word to Luke that I would see to it that would had happened before, would never happen again. And you all know that I keep my word, whether or not I swear on the River Styx. And I only asked you all to do pretty much the same thing after the Giant War but I had also included that a god could not take a demigod, wipe their memories of their past, and put them somewhere else." At this, Percy glanced at Hera, and her eyes weren't the only ones to find the Queen of the Gods. Hera just glared and didn't respond. "For all that I have done for you, for all that I have given up for you, I not asked for anything for myself. It has always been for others. I am just asking for your permission to tell Bruce and a select few others. Please!" Percy was practically begging to gods and was starting to inwardly panic when they all just stared at her for several minutes in silence.

Finally, her uncle began to speak. "Persephone Jackson, Daughter of Poseidon, Hero of Olympus, Savior of Olympus, former Praetor of the Twelth Legion, defeater of Kronos, conquerer of Gaea, destroyer of the Minotaur, we, the Olympian Council, will grant you this request, if the majority rules in your favor." Zeus turned his attention from his niece and to his fellow Olympians. They began to vote.

Hera, Zeus, Demeter, Dionysus, and Athena vote against.

Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Ares (surprisingly), and Hermes vote for it. Poseidon voted for it as well, if a bit grudgingly. Percy was the only daughter that he had ever had, demigod or godling, and he wanted to protect her from any heartbreak that might come her way.

"It would seem that the Council has voted in your favor, Niece. You may tell this Bruce of yours the secret of the Greek and Roman world that has been hidden from his eyes. You may tell him all about your life and what you have done for this world. We have also permitted you the option of being able to tell five others about us. Choose wisely niece, for if you want to include someone else after the five are chosen, you will be denied."

Percy felt weak kneed with relief but just nodded in understanding as she sat back down on her chair as they all moved onto other matters that needed to be discussed.

It was only an hour later when Poseidon sat up straight from his relaxed position he had taken on his thrown as if someone had shocked him with Zeus's master bolt. The action was so sudden, Demeter, whom had been complaining - once again - about Persephone the goddess being trapped in the Underworld with Hades, immediately silenced and locked her gaze onto her brother. She wasn't the only one as all in the room were staring at Poseidon.

"Brother, what is it?" Zeus asked finally. Poseidon had a faraway look in his eyes, indicating that he was looking for something in his domain that wasn't right.

"I just felt Arthur's anger and anguish rush through me. Something has happened to cause such turmoil, I must see what has happened at once!" Poseidon stood, grabbed his trident ready to flash away when Percy stopped him.

"Dad, I'll go. You have matters important up here to handle and I am more than capable of helping my brother if it is needed, you know this." Percy waited for her father to nod his acceptance but before she could even move, snapped his fingers, causing her to disappear in a flash, leaving behind a small puddle of water and reappearing a couple miles away from Atlantis in the ocean.

Percy rolled her eyes at her father's impatience but quickly began to use her powers to bend the water around her and to shoot off like a missile towards Atlantis, hoping she would not arrive before anything grave happened to her brother.

(THIS WAS ALSO IN CHAPTER 3 PUT IT IS A CONTINUATION OF IT)

It was good for her to visit her family today. She knew that she would have to tell Bruce soon about what she was… but she didn't know how he would take it. She knew that if she told him that the Greek gods and the Roman gods, as well as other panthenons were real, that he would worry even more than he does now.

Taking a deep breath, and adjusting the strap of the bag that she had stopped at her father's palace to grab, she knocked loudly on the door and waited for Alfred or Bruce to answer it. She knew neither of them were asleep yet as Alfred waited for Bruce to return and would not go to sleep until he had checked Bruce for all injuries.

The door opened to reveal Alfred's smiling face and he let her in, closing the door and enclosing Percy in the large mansion. She was home. Finally.

After Percy had ate a light snack consisting of Alfred's homemade chocolate chips - which sadly weren't blue - she walked up the stairs towards Bruce's bedroom, having been told by Alfred that that was where he was.

Percy arrived at his closed bedroom door and took a deep breath before knocking loudly on the door.

She didn't hear Bruce's footsteps but she wasn't surprised when Bruce opened the door a few seconds after she had knocked. Bruce didn't even look up, his eyes glued to the piece of paper in his hands.

"Dinner ready already, Alfred?" Bruce asked. Percy snorted, causing Bruce's head to jerk up in surprise to hearing the familiar feminie snort.

"Sorry, Bruce. It is just me, Percy. Alfred said dinner was going to be ready in about an hour or so though." Percy smirked at him. Her nervousness pushed to the back of her mind as she fell back into the easy banter that the two best friends used. Bruce smiled at her and pulled her into his muscular arms in one smooth movement to hug her. One arm was around her waist while the other cupped the back of her head, his fingers entangled in her black wavy hair. He just held her for a brief moment, breathing in her familiar scent.

"I'm glad your back, Percy." Bruce murmured before pulling back and smiling down at her. Percy returned his smile for a few moments before the reason why she was here caught up to her, causing her smile to immediately dim. Bruce noticed. "What is it? What's wrong?"

Percy sighed, not wanting him to worry, but knew that this night was goint to change everything for the two of them. This night could make them, or break them.

She held his dark blue gaze and saw nothing but worry and another indecipherable emotion in his eyes directed towards her.

"Bruce, I have something to tell you. And it is going to be very unbelievable for you."

Bruce's dark blue gaze turned even darker at her words but he gently tugged her over to the fireplace in his room which was lit and motioned for her to sit on the couch while he sat on the coffee table in front of her, holding her hands in his larger ones. His eyes never once broke from Percy's as he waited. Bruce could tell Percy was going to be telling him something huge. Something about her, he assumed, that he would have never guessed on his own. She took a deep breath, broke their gaze, and looked down at their intwined hands.

"So tell me, Bruce, what do you know about Greek mythology?"
