I own nobody except Ju


Information Overload – Peeta's POV

We had just reached the bottom of the mountain when I decided to start a conversation

"So..." I asked the nearest person to me, who happened to be Harry "when's your birthday?" always a good start he smiled

"July the thirty first nineteen eighty." he replied "what about you?"

"February seventeenth" I replied we walked in silence for a few more minutes before I asked the question that had been bothering me since I had found out I was in the future and my new friends where from the past

"What's the world like where you come from? I mean this is now in the future and in Panem it's like this thirteen city's or districts and the capitol is that's what it's like then and with trains to get you to other districts and hover crafts and you're not allowed to move?" Harry shook his head and in the light for a fleeting second I saw a lightning shaped scar on his forehead.

"No. we can go anywhere we like and we have thousands of different countries with thousands of different towns and a hundred or so big towns and cities. We do have trains but mostly we use cars well the muggles do wizards use apparition and disapparation and the floo network which is vanishing and reappearing somewhere else and traveling through fireplaces. We don't have hover crafts we have planes which fly hundreds of people and are quite big. Each country does have a capital and the world is nothing like this. We have mountains and stuff and deserts not where I come from but we have them and mostly there's grassland and farms and cities and every one does their own thing. Anything else you want to ask about my world or can I ask you some things?" I shook my head

"There's lots I want to know but you go first what do you want to know about my world?"

"What's a hovercraft, what and where Panem and why can't you move?"

"A Hovercraft is a machine that flies like your plane I think I've heard of them. Panem is my country the only country left in the world, there was a big war or something and it was destroyed sea levels rose and loads of places got flooded, it's in what used to be North America and there might be people out there in other countries and land. We can't move or couldn't we had this big rebellion which Katniss and me started accidentally in the seventy fourth Hunger Games and now we can, but we couldn't move because the Capitol thought that we might make secret plans and make a rebellion which happened anyway they made huge walls and protection around the districts to make it impossible to leave except twelve hours that had a metal fence and Katniss went out and hunted food with a bow and arrows for her family, she has the best shot ever, which got her a special weapon this.." I shook the quiver of arrows "trust me you don't want to be hit with one of these arrows, and how we won the Hunger Games." I looked at Harry who was giving me a weird look

"What's..." he began like he didn't want to know the answer "what's the Hunger Games?"

"due to a previous rebellion the Capitol made them every district has their children from twelve to eighteen put their name into a reaping ball and the a boy and a girl are picked to go to an area picked and made by Capitol and they have to fight each other to the death, the last one alive wins me and Katniss both one because we pretended to commit suicide at the same time so that Capitol wouldn't have a winner. They chose for both of us to live rather than both of us die." By now the others were listening as well.

"That's horrible." Percy muttered I nodded in agreement

"But they're finished. All gone. Forever. Hopefully." by now we had reached the very edge of the village and were stopped by a giant invisible wall. Not a force field thankfully but that kind of thing.

"How are we gonna get past this? We can see it and everything but can't get through that's no magic I know of." Ron asked and we all shrugged, seeing that no one had any ideas I stepped forwards towards it. Whatever it was and yelled out in shock as a charge went through my body and I saw something that I defiantly shouldn't have, but before I could process what I had seen hands where pulling me back and I landed in a heap on the floor. Panting.

"Maybe we should wait for someone to let us in?" I said quietly once I had caught my breath.

"That. Is the best idea you have come up with?" Jason panted back "there was a lot of energy going through there even I wouldn't want to stand in it and I can stand a lot of electricity." we sat and stood in silence for a moment as his words sunk in.

"So how come he's not having a chat with Hades?" Percy muttered

"Who?" me and Ron asked

"Hades lord of the underworld and the dead, mine and Jason's uncle or when he's in Roman form anyway as Pluto." Percy explained I nodded while Ron uttered a soft oh.

"I see my magic worked or mostly." a woman's voice said behind us and we all jumped not noticing her appear we all span around and saw a woman with black hair, brown eyes, a white dress and lots of golden jewellery on staring at us "you may come in if you wish." she finished

"Thank you. My Lady." Percy replied hesitantly bowing the lady nodded as we all stepped in and I felt a whoosh of warm air hit me and I noticed how much I had been shivering before.

"This way" the woman continued leading us towards the water, we all hesitated a second before following "you recognize me?" she asked to Percy who smiled

"not you personally but your aura, I'm still trying to figure out whether your Greek or Roman..." he glanced at an amulet around her neck "Egyptian or all three Lady Isis." the goddess smiled but didn't say anything I caught Percy's eye and mouthed 'how did you know that' he just shrugged. Isis pushed open a door to what looked like the grandest place on earth what wasn't saying much, considering the state of the earth. It was larger and gold, otherwise no different to the other huts.

I glanced around and shuddered. Humanity did this. Humans. Maybe having a decent species inherit the Earth would have been better. I slipped through the door last and looked around three doors led off of the room I was in, one was closed the other two locked.

"Why are they locked?" I asked Isis looked at me

"Earlier we had some unrest and locking doors was the safest way to keep you alive."

"The safest way to keep us safe." Harry said looking at her and she nodded

"you were supposed to come in, in there." she said pointing at the far hand door Jason went immediately over to it and unlocked it showing an empty room with five beds and a chest in. In silence I could hear the mumbling of people talking. Girls talking. The voices were feminine.

"And in there are the girls." the words were barely out of her mouth before Ron, who was nearest, had turned the lock and tried to open the door

"They've locked it on the other side." said Isis helpfully

"Well done Ginny." Ron mumbled Harry rolled his eyes and knocked the talking stopped immediately Ron tried to open the door again and then yelled through

"you girls better come out we've got a lot of bloody talking to do, and not a lot of time to do it so make sure your descent then. Open this door or Ginny I will get you grounded for infinity!" someone groaned

"Alright Ron go away for a moment." someone yelled back, probably Ginny, a moment later locks were being undone and finally the door opened and a bushy brown haired girl stood in the door way

"Ron!" she shrieked and threw herself at him they landed on the floor laughing.

"Wow she must have missed him." a voice I recognized said I smiled

"He didn't seem to miss her Katniss." my fiancé walked past three over girls and hugged me

"But I missed you." I whispered in her ear

"So did I." she whispered back. I kissed her cheek and we broke apart. Ron and the girl were still on the floor and Harry and a red haired girl, who looked quite a lot like Ron, except her eyes which were brown, were staring at the in amazement. While Jason and a girl with brown choppy hair were talking quietly and Percy and a blond haired girl stood leaning against a wall holding hands, watching the world go by smiling. Me and Katniss looked at each other and I murmured

"Blond talking is Jason, guy on the floor is Ron, Harry's the one with glasses and Percy by the wall." she nodded and whispered back

"Piper with Jason, talking, Annabeth by Percy, Ginny with Harry and Hermione on the floor." I nodded as Ginny called

"Okay Ron, Hermione you can get up before things get serious, I thought we had things to talk about."

"yeah." added Harry "you guys haven't seen each other for a whole night I think five minutes covers it." Ron and Hermione both got off the floor smiling sheepishly bright red.

"good." said Isis "how about you make yourselves comfortable and I'll tell Ju your here.

Hermione conjured us up a large table and a dozen comfy chairs. After introductions and confirming that we had all told each other what we were we sat and waited for Isis to come back, Hermione and Annabeth had their heads together and were talking about god knows what, Katniss had her head on my shoulder and was sitting quietly barely moving while I absent mindedly stroked her hair, Ginny, Piper, Harry and Ron where sitting together talking about past experiences or something while Percy and Jason, kept glancing at each other with a look that says "why is it always us."

"So." I said out loud startling everyone "that poem was a Prophecy and names which means it's a very old prophecy and managed to survive on a wall for what at least four hundred years. So how old is the original one?" there was silence for a monument.

"It was the oldest prophecy in our Hall of Prophecies for the Roman age I think, was it the Roman age or another time?" Harry asked

"It was Roman." Hermione answered immediately Harry, Ron and Ginny all smiled

"That's strange." said Annabeth thoughtfully "our prophecy came from Roman times..."

"Did it?" said Percy Annabeth smiled at him

"Yes Seaweed Brain it did, Reyna only had to mention the Sibylline books and Rachel was telling us our prophecy and depending on where that wall was, it could have just been the same prophecy split and told in three ways that travelled down till we happened to find it."

"That makes sense." said Katniss "but where did the Romans invade and come from, the wall was in this old City by the coast, New York I think it was called." they all stared at her and she stared stubbornly back.

"Do you by any chance come from New York?" I asked Percy and Annabeth nodded "oh!"

"So what's so special about us?" Ginny asked "I can see why form our time and kind Harry, Ron and Hermione would get picked but why me and err no offence but why you guys." I glanced at Katniss who looked at me

"We changed the world, me and Peeta, saved it, but it was mostly Peeta who did it not me, he does the talking, he can move a nation, the whole world with a single sentence me? I just try to stay alive." Katniss said I smiled

"You keep me living, give me a purpose, and you give an effect you don't know how influence you are." I countered she gave a grudging smile before looking purposely at Percy, Annabeth, Jason and Piper

"We're pretty good at saving the Earth." said Percy before any of the others could get a word in "but you guys must have done something right if your here now, and by the sounds of things it's good." Katniss shrugged while Ginny said something about a DA or something

"DA yeah Ginny you never gave up, kept it going for us. That's cool." Harry agreed

"Forget cool, it was bloody wicked." I frowned at Ron but he ignored me

"You must be our saviours then." we all span around my hand went to my pocket where a knife as, Katniss had her bow up and arrow ready. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny all had their wands drawn, which the girls had got off the boys, the pink beaded bag of theirs was over Hermione's shoulder. The demigods all had their hand around their weapons and it took me a moment to realize that we were all on our feet. A man stood in the doorway and from first sight I knew he was normal like me and Katniss, he had long blue hair and dark purple eyes, he was tall and looked strong.

"I'm Ju." he said " and don't tell me, your Harry Potter, Ron, Ginny Weasley and Hermione Granger." he said pointing at them in turn and they all groaned "You two must be Peeta and Katniss, congratulations on your marriage and children, sorry about the first, so sad that the charge killed it and thanks for freeing us." he continued looking at us

"You're welcome." I said while Katniss glared at him "and we're not marred, and what do you mean by children?" he ignored me and turned to Percy, Jason, Piper and Annabeth

"And you must be Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Annabeth Case and Percy Jackson, you look like your farther." he finished looking at Percy who raised an eyebrow

"So I've heard." I got the feeling he got told that a lot

"Why don't we all sit down and I'll tell you what's happened and how you can help." I hadn't noticed Isis had followed Ju in, we all did and I looked at Ju

"There are a few things I want to clear up before we do anything and I think the others might agree, so I'll start with this, How come you speak English, with no accent?" Ju frowned.

"What's English?"

"In this room, I have put a spell around it, you can speak in whatever language you like and everyone in it will understand the same as if they spoke in their own language." Isis explained "that's what the result sounds like, now why you're here I presume that was one of your questions?" she glanced at me and I nodded

"We've got a problem, I'll tell you about it in a moment, but you were the only people who could help, that prophecy was the last one, and you found it so you must be the ones in it and you have certain skills and specialty's that will mean a bigger chance to return things to normal and he will be beaten. You were supposed to come in here where it's safe, just in case, the girls did and some of your things, but somehow the boys and your most important things ended up outside of the village. This means that you should be careful as your arrival was very noticeable and he will now know that you are here and will have sent out someone to get you." she stopped for breath and I glanced around at everyone else, they were all looking at her with interest, while Ju was staring at us with burning curiosity. I caught his eye and he immediately started examining the floor.

"Who's he?" asked Harry "if it's another He Who Must Not Be Named, then I'm going to go on strike." Ginny and Ron both laughed while Hermione smiled

"He is to the people, only this time he's immortal." Isis continued

"Great. Just what I needed another immortal enemy." Percy murmured

"Who are we actually talking about?" Hermione asked sounding annoyed. Isis opened her mouth to reply when all the lights went out. Everywhere.

We were standing in complete suffocating darkness.

"Ron!" came Ginny's voice, making me jump, she sounded absolutely terrified. I jumped again as next to me, Katniss slipped her hand into mine, I gave it a small squeeze as, outside, the sky lit up blood red and people started screaming.

An excreting pain ripped through my body as an explosion tore through the air, blowing the entire village to pieces.

And collapsing on top of us. Burring us alive. Still holding Katniss's hand I collapsed.

Before being drawn back into complete suffocating darkness.
