Hello, USS! I am so so so sorry I haven't updated in a while! Things have been hectic- first I was a counselor at summer camp (and it was Frozen- themed week, so I almost went insane from all the "Let it Go" I heard!) and then there was vacation, and I just couldn't find the time to update. Sorry again.
REVIEWS
ConfidentialAuthor: Cool! Thanks for reviewing!
39cluespercyjackson: Yeah, not everyone's into him. And thanks for letting me know!
SylviaHunterOfArtemis: Thanks!
Azzurramoon: Wow! I like Benedict too! And thanks for your input on the HP/PJO crossover! I listened to the song you suggested and I really liked it, thanks!
Guest: Thanks for the advice. I'm actually not 100% sure how to have a picture be the cover, so if anyone (or you) is reading this and knows how, tell me!
Frazel: I'm super sorry about not updating! Thank you, I liked that chapter too! And it's authoress, btw. Thanks so much for that, I'm super flattered! I've heard of Sonic the game, but I haven't played it- the most I've done is see the video of the I AM GOD horror version haha. For the Octavian's Diary review, I don't ship Octachel either, but I love the idea of him being kind of stalkerish and seeing in her a "kindred spirit." Idk, call me crazy. XD Benedict Cumberbatch is the actor who plays the BBC Sherlock which I highly recommend. He's also in the Imitation Game, a really good movie. And thanks again!
QueenOfEternity: Yeah, I think it takes actually seeing him acting to really like Benedict Cumberbatch, because he's not what most people would call traditionally attractive. Thanks! The Q&A is going to be questions from reviewers that they want to ask the Seven, with a short physical description so I don't have to make it in letter format or in a play-like format. If people like it, I could split it into two chapters for more questions. Does that help?
Fraser: I don't think so, only because there isn't much written about Calypso in the books. She gets like 2-4 chapters total in the books, and I can't really base an exhibit off of that. Thanks for asking though!
OO SCARY (Guest on But I'm the Son of Poseidon, if you're reading this): Thank you! And yes, I never notice that… That is really weird, but also cool.
Thank you countrymusicfan11, Senna Bluefire, and S1T2A3R4 for following!
That's it for reviews and such! Without further ado, here is Jason's chapter!
Jason was surprisingly calm, considering that he was going to his own freaking museum exhibit. The whole thing was kind of mind-blowing, actually, because not only did the exhibit exist, but people were actually paying money to see it. And, of course, there was the special something he had planned for Piper...
"Come on!" Piper linked her arm with his as she practically skipped to the entrance of his exhibit. He steeled himself as he walked into the room. Decorated in gray, black, and yellow tones, the large place was pretty intimidating. Jason figured that his dad may or may not have supervised the construction of it so his son could be seen in a way that befitted Jupiter- there were even simulated thunderclouds near the ceiling shooting tiny bolts of lightning at the mass of people below!
Piper tugged him toward the massive "START HERE: AUDIO TOUR" button and pressed it excitedly, pointing at the picture of Baby Jason sucking his thumb.
"That's you! Oh my gods, you were the cutest!" Piper beamed at him.
"A son of Jupiter (Zeus, Greek), Jason Grace was born on the first of July. His father dedicated him to Juno (Hera, Greek) as a way of repaying her for siring a child with the same woman in both his Greek and Roman forms. At two years old, he was brought to the Wolf House to be trained by Lupa and then sent to Camp Jupiter." Jason recalled his first day at Camp Jupiter. He was a bit self-conscious of his parentage and powers, but quickly he fit in and found a rhythm in the Roman routine. (A/N: I just fit in two alliterations! I feel like a writing genius!) He didn't agree entirely with everything about the Romans, but he was happy there, happier than he had been in a while, so he shoved those feelings down and escalated the ranks to praetor. Only now, looking back, he realized that this was the Greek side of him speaking out.
"While a camper, then centurion, and eventually praetor, Jason slayed the Trojan sea monster, went on a quest for Imperial Gold weapons on the C.S.S. Hunley at Fort Sumter, and attacked Mount Othrys in the Second Titan War. He battled Scythian dracanae and the Titan Krios himself, earning the title of praetor." Piper grinned at this.
"And yet he still can't sleep without a night-light," Piper teased. He punched her lightly in the arm, laughing, then put his arm around her and held her close. She leaned into him, snuggling into his sturdy embrace.
"Juno, in order to put forth her plans to save Olympus, took Jason from Camp Jupiter and Percy Jackson from Camp Half Blood and exchanged them, taking away their memories. Jason was transported to Camp Half Blood, and he quickly became friends with Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite (Venus, Roman)"-Piper grimaced- "and Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus (Vulcan, Roman)." Jason remembered waking up on the bus to the Grand Canyon. Even then, he was attracted to Piper. He supposed it was just meant to be. A picture of the battle on Mount Diablo loomed over the couple when they moved to the next section.
"They went on a quest to save Hera (because Jason transferred to the Greek camp) from the minions of Gaea, meeting and battling Boreas, Medea, King Midas, Lycaon, and a few rogue Cyclopes. Jason was reunited with his long-lost sister, Thalia Grace, lieutenant of the Hunters, on the way. The group managed to free Hera from her prison and defeat the giant Enceladus, who was holding Piper's father hostage." Piper frowned at the memory and Jason's arm reflexively tightened around her. They approached a video slideshow of everything those on the Argo II dealt with on the way to Rome and in it.
"The Greeks traveled to New Rome to make peace with the Romans, but unfortunately the tentative truce was broken when Leo, possessed by an evil spirit, fired upon New Rome. The seven of the prophecy left quickly for the ancient lands, including Jason. On the way, the crew of the Argo II faced eidolons, the attacks of Romans, Hercules, the pirate Chrysaor, evil nymphs in an underground nymphaeum, and the giants Otis and Ephialtes. The crew managed to rescue Nico di Angelo from the giants while defeating the giants (with the exception of Annabeth Chase, who was on a quest of the Mark of Athena). Jason, Frank Zhang, and Hazel Levesque helped rescue the Athena Parthenos from underground before Annabeth and Percy fell into Tartarus." At the mention of Hercules, Jason and Piper shared a look.
"That guy represents everything wrong with the world," Jason muttered.
"Not only him," Piper replied, looking a little sick at the memory. "Achelous, too. Gods, the thought of marrying him…" Jason had a brief vision of Piper in a fluffy white wedding dress, kissing the old man-bull.
"Creep," he said disgustedly, trying to shake the image from his brain. They were silent for the rest of the section, sobering when the voice mentioned Tartarus. Hastily, they moved on to a picture of the Necromanteion.
"Jason and Nico retrieved the scepter of Diocletian"-Jason sucked in a deep breath, wondering if anyone knew what had happened there- "and helped guide Reyna Ramirez-Arellano to the crew so she could bring the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half Blood as a peace offering. At the Necromanteion, on the way to bring Annabeth and Percy back from Tartarus and simultaneously close the Doors of Death, Jason gave his post as praetor to Frank and helped complete the quest." Both of them took a deep breath- the next section of the exhibit was surely the last battle. Jason, however, was a bit more nervous than Piper, for an entirely different reason. Sure enough, the video on the next part of the exhibit showed Jason, Piper and Leo in the air, bravely subduing Gaea.
"The Seven, on the way to Greece to defeat the giants, had to deal with the ghosts of the suitors of Odysseus' wife Penelope; the raging sea storm goddess Kymopoleia, and the giant Polybotes. Jason worked with his father to destroy the King of Giants Porphyrion, and then helped Piper and Leo defeat Gaea by containing her above the Earth. After Leo's sacrifice, Jason was heartbroken, but he still became pontifex maximus and worked towards the recognition of all the gods. He has a permanent residence at Camp Half Blood with his fiancee Piper, but travels between the camps regularly." Piper looked confused.
"What are they talking about, Jason? Fiancee?" Piper asked. Jason merely smirked as he sank down to one knee.
"Piper McLean," he began, "I promise to love you forever, even in the afterlife. I promise to protect you"- Piper couldn't help it; she snorted at the thought of needing a protector, though it was a nice thought, and he noticed and smiled wider- "even though you don't need protecting, and I promise to be with you whenever you need me. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Piper couldn't contain her huge grin as she tackled him to the ground, unaware that others were watching them. The two completely forgot about the other patrons of the museum as they hugged each other tightly. Jason spun her around, filled with so much joy at that moment that he just couldn't contain himself.
"How did you do it?" Piper gasped happily.
"I asked Chiron to change it for me," he replied. She shook her head and kissed him so hard he saw stars.
