Chapter 4

Percy and Annabeth weren't the only ones finding out their children were starting to inherit their parents powers. For indeed, a few weeks later, after being told by Percy and Annabeth, Jason and Piper found themselves being called into their kids school.

"What could this be about?" Piper wondered aloud.

Jason shrugged. "No idea, but it sounded...like trouble."

Piper groaned. "Oh boy, you don't think…?"

Jason nodded slowly and Piper groaned again. Getting out of the car they made their way up to the school, both of them concerned as to what the outcome of this meeting would be, also wondering just which one of their children was the one in trouble.

Reaching the school office they saw Ralph and Lacie both sitting outside, Ralph was the one looking worried and uncomfortable, so they realized now that Ralph was the one in trouble.

"Kids?" Piper asked worriedly.

They looked up worriedly, Ralph immediately spoke up.

"I don't know what happened, I just..."

Jason shook his head. "Alright calm down, just…explain what happened, as best you can."

Ralph bit his lip and then explained. "I was...the teacher was being mean, because I kept struggling to read...I...I got angry and, and..."

Jason and Piper shared a dark look at that, but then Ralph revealed the truth.

"I just got angry and the teacher got shocked."

"Shocked?" Jason asked carefully.

He nodded. "Zapped, lightning, but...there was no storm."

It was just as they thought, Ralph was beginning to show some of Jason's powers.

Sharing a look with Jason, Piper turned to the kids.

"Alright, it's alright...we'll, we'll talk about this." She said. "Then, there's more we need to talk to about, we'll do so after this."

Jason agreed. "Yes, just, don't worry and, try to control your anger future okay, we don't want a repeat of this."

"But how did it happen?" Lacie asked.

"We'll explain once we're done here, that's what we need to talk about." Jason reassured her.

The kids nodded, just as the door opened and they were called in. Once seated the Principal looked at them seriously.

"I hope you appreciate the seriousness in this Mr. and Mrs. Grace." He said. "Your son harmed his teacher and..."

Jason cut him off. "I'm more concerned about the teacher' behaviour. Can you explain why this teacher is bullying my son, because of his difficulties."

The Principal shook his head. "I assure you, nothing like that..."

"So now you call my son a liar. Is that it?" Jason asked; his eyes narrowing. "If this is your attitude I fail to see why we should keep our children in this school, or why we should keep quiet about it."

"Mr. Grace, this is a serious matter; your son..."

Piper cut in. "I've had enough of this, you can't just deflect the teacher's behaviour. What's it going to be, a full investigation, or us taking our kids out of this school and going public with it?"

The Principal sighed. "If he just tried..."

"He does!" Jason snapped. "Oh I get it, in your eyes, dyslexia doesn't exist, is that?"

There was an uncomfortable silence after that.

Finally the Principal sighed.

"Dyslexia, that seems rather...convenient, especially since he's the only..."

"We both have it ourselves." Piper remarked casually. "Now stop deflecting, what's it going to be?"

The Principal shook his head and finally spoke. "Regardless of what's happened with that teacher, this isn't why we're here right now. That is something to be discussed later."

Piper glanced at Jason, winked and turned back to the Principal.

"Oh, I think we can forget about it, it's not as if he won't recover." She said.

The Principal's face went slack for a moment and finally, after promising a full investigation, they left, relieved that things had been resolved, despite having to resort to Piper's Charmspeak. Now they had to get Ralph and Lacie home and tell them about their past and to reveal the truth to them about the Gods and their developing powers.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.

Okay, next up, Hazel and Frank and their kids, any suggestions?
