Ch. 4 Fate and Jeans return.
The Afterlife, In the realm of The Phoenix
"Jean...Jean...JEAN!"
"What is it you want, Phoenix?" An orb of a pure soul that was Jean Grey spoke before her sister spirit.
"Logan, our mate has been reborn anew in a world of Gods, Goddesses, Titans, Demi-Gods, and Monsters within a new reality. He is alone and will not succeed in his new life without us. He needs our help. Are you with me sister?"
"For Logan, anything."
New Reality August 1993
Unknown to Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy, the Spirit of Phoenix/Jean Grey is reborn within her newborn daughter when Annabeth Chase, formerly Jean Grey breathes her first breath.
The Night Hades kidnaps Sally Jackson
"Zeus, we would have words with thee."
"What is it you want, ladies?
"The one known as Percy Jackson is not who he appears to be."
"What are you saying?"
"He was once, in another Earth Reality, a noble warrior. He was called, The Wolverine. He was a mutant. Like Demi-Gods, mutants were different, outcasts, but through his allies and sheer determination, he brought them into a new age. But he was not alone, even now. Other Heroes born of that same reality, both Mutant and Meta-Human have too been reborn and given a chance to fight for our reality. Where as the other reality is no more. Percy Jackson and your son Jason Grace were once Brothers of the same cause in the other reality. They fought in many wars and battles together. Where as Percy was once James "Logan" Howlett, also known as The Wolverine, Jason was once known as Captain Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, The Greatest Champion of human rights and liberties to have ever lived and he lives yet again, through your son."
A round package materializes above Zeus as it slowly lowers itself within his outstretched hands. When he removes its wrappings, he notices its colors. With the color of red-white-red outer format and a white star inside of a blue circle.
"This shield, once wielded by Captain America is composed of both Adamantium and Vibranium. Both metals are strong, indestructible, and capable of withstanding much impact without damage, and it must be returned to he who once wielded it. Like Captain America, the Shield was a symbol of Hope, peace, and safety, so it shall be again. A new age of Heroes is being reborn in this world. Percy Jackson must not be killed for he is innocent of the theft he was accused of. He and your son will unite the Demi-Gods of Greece and Rome. What say you Zeus?"
Thinking on what the Fates was talking about, images of heroes in various shapes and sizes appeared within his mind. But the image of a man in a uniform that looked like the American Flag, with the colors of red, white, and blue, and a mask that covered a percentage of his face with wings on the side and the letter 'A' on his forehead wielding the same shield now in his hands. Then an image of a beast like man with wild hair with claws of metal extending from his knuckles fighting beside the Captain and at his back. After seeing these images of another Earth reality and its past, Zeus came to a decision, "Very well, I will permit it. I will not strike Percy down or condone his mothers kidnapping, nor will I ask any other God, Demi-God, or monster to attack and or kill him. If you had appeared before me earlier, I would not kept Percy from his place among his cousins at Camp Half-Blood. I will speak to both Poseidon and Hades."
"No, let this play out. Give Percy a chance to find the one who set him up and free his mother on his own. He deserves his revenge. Besides, a love of his past awaits him at the camp, she will know what to do. We can no longer interfere. Now we must allow things to play out as they were meant to. Should you tell anyone, tell Poseidon, but he must not interfere either. Good luck Lord Zeus."
Camp Jupiter, in the dorm of Jupiter
Zeus in his form of Jupiter teleported into the Cabin of his name as Jason Grace walks into the room after a shower. In Zeus' hand, wrapped once more, is the Shield that Jason once wielded all those years ago in the other reality. Jason seeing his father, kneels before him.
"Rise my son. I have a gift for you. Something that belongs to you as it did once before."
Lowering the wrapped package into a now confused Jasons hands, Jason unwraps the object and his eyes widen as they look over an object, no Shield, he thought had been buried with him in the other reality, in accordance with his will.
Looking back to his father, he asks, "You know?"
Nodding, Jupiter sits on Jasons bed and pats it asking non-verbally for Jason to do the same. As he does, Jupiter explains everything the Fates told him. He then asks Jason to tell him what he can of the time before he was reborn. By the time Jason is finished with his tale, Jupiter who listened intently, informs him of Camp Half-Blood and asks him to not speak of the Greek Camp and its inhabitants until Jupiter says it's time. After spending a bit of time with and getting to know his son, he places a charm on the shield so Jason could subconsciously call it whenever he needs it as it becomes a a bracelet of the same colors as the Shield itself. He then walks his son to Lupa the Wolf Goddess' tent and explains how he wants Jason as the leader of the Camp, as he trusts no other Demi-God other than Jason. Something that Lupa aquiesces to under Jupiters glare. Once he gives his son his best of wishes, he teleports himself back to Olympus.
Arriving in the throne room of Olympus, Jupiter transforms back to his form as Zeus and calls Camp Half-blood via an Iris call after seeing Chiron being threatened by a now feral Percy with his claws mere centimeters from Chirons eyes. He sends a bolt of Lightening down on Percy to remove him from Chiron, only to see and hear an anguished and very angry Percy Jackson mocking him. Zeus could not blame the boy for being angry, so he sent down a few more bolts only to render Percy unconscious. Speaking to Chiron, he then informs him to place Percy into Poseidons cabin, no questions asked, and that Percy is not to be harmed. He then Iris calls Poseidon and has him come to Olympus for a private meeting.
Upon Poseidons arrival, Zeus apologizes to Poseidon for believing that Percy stole the Master Bolt, and secretly informs him about Percy and how he knew Percy was his son and what he was forced to do to protect Chiron. He then informs him of both Percy and Jasons past in the other reality and how Heroes of another world have been reborn in their own children. He suspects others will follow or already has done so. Zeus informs his brother how this information should remain between them for the time being and then explains how Sally has been taken by Hades and what it could mean when Percy wakes up.
Poseidon agrees to wait and not interfere. If what Zeus says is correct about Percy and his past life, then he need not act. Hades will come to fear his son Percy unless he releases Sally. Poseidon chuckles at the implications of what his son is capable of and what Hades is in for.
Camp Half-Blood
As Annabeth Chase dabs Percys head with a clean wet clothe, she is watched over by Chiron who is in his magical wheelchair and is currently distracted by a book. She then smiles and silently slips into Percys mind and give him a surprise he never saw coming.
In the recesses of Percys mind, Percy snaps awake as he looks upon a room he hasn't seen in Lord knows how long. Sitting up in his bed, he looks around and sees that the room looks exactly like his room back at Xavier School for the Gifted in New York. Getting up, he looks into a mirror within the room behind the door. He doesn't remember a mirror ever being there as he sees who he used to be and how he used to look in his past life. "Why do I look like I used to?" Percy/ Logan thinks to himself.
Opening the door to the room, he walks out and sees almost an exact replica of the hallways structure. "What the hells going on here?", He almost silently says to himself. "Logan!" a whisper in his head calls out. Spinning himself around, he tenses as he pauses. He could have sworn he heard a voice in his head, a voice of someone familiar call his old name.
"That's because you did!" The voice calls out again in his mind. "Where are you?", He calls out dangerously.
"Go to the office."
Slowly, he found his way through the mansions replica heading towards where he remembered the professors office was. A few moments later, staring at the door leading to Charles Xaviers office, he took a breath and slowly opened the door. As it opened, the body of a red haired woman in a red long sleeved shirt and a red skirt had her back to him.
"Who the hell are you?"
"It's been a long time Logan." the familiar voice of the woman said as she barely turned her head. Now he knew why he had recognized that voice.
"Jean?", he whispered as he went wide-eyed.
Turning fully so he could see her, Logan was close to choking as he held back tears and stared at the woman who meant so much in the world to him. She slowly walked towards him as he did the same and met her in the middle and touched her face. "Jean?" he asked as she nodded while smiling that smile he loved so much. His lips then attacked hers as they then began to kiss one another in complete and wild abandon. After a bit, they stopped to take a breath. "Tell me this is real Jean. Te...tell me..your...real." he said as he closed his eyes and leaned his head against her own.
"I'm real Logan." She said as she then looked into his eyes. "You're not the only one who came back. There's others as well. You were the first. Right now, I'm inside your mind. When you awake, I'll be different. Just don't do like you did and try to choke me like last time."
"No Jean, never. Never again." He said as he kissed her again. After a bit, she gently pushed herself from him and looked him in the eye and said, "Wake up Logan, wake up."
"Wake up Percy, wake up."
With a gasp, Percy opened his eyes as he saw a set of stormy gray eyes attached to a blond haired young girl. The smile on the girls face reminded him of the one person he loved most. "Jean?" he thought out.
The girl sitting over him smiled seductively and nodded. "Yes Logan, or is it Percy now?" she thought back to him. Playing along, he said, "Hi, I'm Percy."
The girl continued to smile as she replied, "I'm Annabeth. Annabeth Chase."
"Where am I?"
"Camp Half-Blood. I've been taking care of you since you got here."
"I'm glad it was a pretty girl like you. I'd hate to see what a daughter of Ares looks like." he replied cheekily.
"And how do you know if Ares is my father or not?"
"Please, you got the look of someone who is intelligent, a study-holic, a woman with brains. Clearly a daughter of Athena."
"Flattery will get you many places Mr. Jackson!" Annabeth purred in his ear as she leaned into his right ear, then teased him by gently nipping said ear with her teeth.
"You're a tease Anny, better be careful, Chiron will think we know one another." He whispered into her ear as she smiled seductively at him. "Is it ok for me to get up now?" As she nodded, he realized he was shirtless. "Is it me, or are you constantly wanting to see me shirtless?", he thought to her. She just whacked him playfully on the head as he got up.
"Hello Percy, glad to see your awake.", another familiar voice spoke out as Annabeth stood up and moved out out Percy's line of sight, as he gazed at Chiron, who was once again in his magical wheel chair. "Do you remember what happened last night?"
"Yeah, sorry about that, bub? But I still wanna know how I can get to Hades. He has my mother. I won't stop till I get her back. Now you can tell me how to get there, or I'll find out on my own, either way, Hades ass is mine. When I go for Hades to get my mother back, I'm going for blood. No law, no code of conduct, you point me in the right direction and you get the hell outta my way."
"Percy, going after the Lord of the Underworld will not get her back."
"I don't want to hear it Chiron. He sealed his fate when he fucked with my mother."
"One week!"
"Excuse me?"
"Give me one week. If you still feel so strongly of going after Hades, then I won't get in the way."
Looking to Annabeth, he gave her a questioning look as she answered it with a nod.
Percy sighed as he then said, "Fine, one week. But only because I need to get my mothers car fixed and I'll need some stuff. Anny, tell me there's someone here who can fix a destroyed car?"
"We have the Hephaestus cabin. Not much sure if they'll be able to do it unless you give them an incentive."
"I'll think of something." Getting out of bed, he cracked his neck and back as he stretched.
"I always hated when you did that Logan, but I hated your smoking cigars even more.", Annabeth thought to him.
"Give it time doll, give it time. The only reason I haven't done so was because of mom, but I may cut it permanently if you by me a pack of sunflower seeds."
"Deal, just don't leave your shells around."
"You got it Jeanie."
"Annabeth, would you be so kind as to show Percy the camp?" Chiron asked as he rose from his magical wheel chair. For about an hour, Annabeth/Jean showed Percy/logan around and having him memorize the place. Things were well until a black haired biker chick that Annabeth mentally told him was Clarisse LaRue, Daughter of Ares, God of War entered his field of vision.
"God of War huh?",he thought as he looked at all of the Demi-Gods in and around the War Cabin he affectionally called it. "If only those kids really knew about war.", he thought to himself as Jean nodded in agreement.
Everywhere he looked, kids were wearing orange Camp Half-Blood shirts. Looking to a big four story house, Annabeth mentally told him that the remains of the last Oracle of Delphi was there. Percy got the distinct idea that the Oracle was watching him.
He got to see the strawberry fields that paid for a lot of their expenses.
"So, Jeanie, what can you tell me of Grover that I don't already know?"
For a bit of time, Annabeth mentally regaled him with Grovers' history including Thalia, Zeus' girl being killed and how Zeus turned her into a tree, while using her life force to create a barrier that kept monsters out. "Poor kid!"
Annabeth told him how they were friends even now and how she has remained in mental communication with her as Thalia somehow still lived, though was still a tree. Annabeth would do all within her power to help free her from the tree as soon as she found a way.
Looking upon all the cabins, Percy was impressed with the Architecture that reminded him of Greece's ancient ruins.
She gave him a run down on all the Cabins, but it was Cabin five that still held his interest and was beginning to piss him off as he gazed at a stuffed boars hanging over its doorway. The kids all looked like punks dressed like bikers, wrestling, fighting, loud rock music, etc.
The loudest was Clarisse LaRue who reminded him of Victor, his brother. Looking anywhere between 13-14. She wore a Camp Half-Blood T-shirt, about a three X-L underneath a camouflage jacket. Percy paused as she sneered at him and he gave her a middle metal claw salute. "Yeah, she could definitely pass as Victors kid, Jeanie."
Annabeth just chuckled at that as they kept walking. A short time later, Clarisse decided to see how well she could get on his nerves, something Percy/Logan and his internal beast was hoping for. "A way to see who's the Alpha of the pack?", Annabeth asked him mentally.
"Got it in one babe."
"Well, a newbie!"
"Clarisse, don't! You'll just get hurt. Besides, don't you have a spear to polish or something?"
"Sure, just so I can run you through with it Friday night!"
That was the wrong thing to say as Percy/Logan lost Jean once before and a few times after and he'll be damned if someone does it again as he rushed the girl quickly and grabbed her by the throat, picked her up and slammed her down and then unsheathed two of his claws pinning her on either side. "Threaten her again, and I'll take your damn head off. Regardless of who your daddy is bitch." And to make sure she got the message, he slowly released his middle and final claw till it pressed up against her windpipe, just nicking the skin, and drawing a dab of blood. "If you think I'm joking, try me. The name Wolverine should tell you all that you need to know as even monsters fear me, as will you." She couldn't move due to the claw near her wind pipe, but you could see the fear in her eyes and the confirmation that there was a bigger Dog in town and its name was Wolverine.
The term Wolverine did indeed cause the sons and daughters of the War God to back the hell up as Percy sheathed his claws and keeping his eyes on the War-Girls own as he backed off and walked away, leaving Clarisse LaRue on the ground near tears as Percy introduced her to fear. You could see it not just in her eyes as the tears finally fell, but her pants as well as a trail of yellow liquid flowed beside her from the back.
As the son was setting, Annabeth got tired of walking and that's when Percy invited her inside his Cabin. "Maybe later, I have to get my Cabin ready for dinner."
"My doors always open to you Jean."
"I know Logan, I know."
"Tomorrow, I'm going for moms car. You think any of the Smith Gods kids will work on it?"
"Well, one of them should seeing as one of them is Forge reborn."
"Forge, really?" He asked wide-eyed.
"Yep!"
"Damn, gonna have to say hi to the tinkerer later!"
"You'll see him at dinner. I'm sure with those ol' factory senses of yours that you can guess which one is him."
"Maybe I will."
"See-ya in a bit, my Wolverine." , She mentally spoke as she kissed him on the lips and left swaying her ass as if daring or tempting him. Before she took a third step, he tugged her right arm back and yanked her back as he kissed her hard and slowly relishing in her taste as his right arm wound around her waist and the other in her blonde hair as she did the same. They then stopped to catch their breaths as Logan then bit her on the collar bone, marking her and saying, "Mine!"
"Yours Percy, always have been, always will be." as she submitted to his animal side once more. He kissed her once more and then rested his head on hers before he let her go get ready for dinner moments later while he tried to keep his animal from taking her right then and there.
"We should take her now Logan!" his inner animal side roared.
"We will soon bub, real soon." Percy replied.
