Apparently you're supposed to do a disclaimer :p Well better late then never. I don't own anything from the original series, that's Rick Riordan's. I only own my OC's and the plot.

Chapter 34 Hell Hath No Furies (Like a Women Scorned)

The next morning Sam Parker smiled a small smile as he realized that for once, the great Annabeth Chase had been wrong. Lou didn't kill him when she had barged into the infirmary, she stared at him for a moment before she came back with Charlotte and asked her if that was the boy who had pissed off the Romans. Charlotte had nodded.

'Ha, a Roman chick, I told you,' he replied with a grin.

Lou gave him a death glare before she and Charlotte walked out, leaving him with Helen.

No, what Lou Ellen had done, was far worse. The eldest mage had contacted both of his moms and told them everything. It wasn't long before Sam Parker found himself sitting in his personal infirmary bed surrounded by angry women.

'And by the gods, if you ever pull a stunt like that again, I will have you spanked in front of all your friends,' warned Anne Parker as she waved her finger at him. The Roman demigod had barged in alongside the goddess of magic and had scolded him as she gave him a hug.

'I promise,' said Sam.

'And when you return from camp, you're grounded until further notice. And you will have finished that math summer work by the time camp is done. If not, we can also take away TV and other things you enjoy.'

'Yes, ma'am.'

'Do not sass your mother like that,' reprimanded Hecate. 'For that reckless use of magic I have decided to revoke your mage status. And yes, that means that from the moment I leave this room, you are no longer a mage, but a novice who needs to learn all the basics before he can receive his sigil. That's right, you're being stripped of your magical abilities until you earn them back.'

'That's fair,' replied Sam.

The two mothers stared at each other for a moment. 'What?'

'It's all fair, I realize that what I did was reckless and stupid and made a lot of people sad and angry. I should be punished and I accept all of it. I am responsible for my own actions and their consequences.'

'Who are you and what have you done with my son?' said Anne.

'Nothing, I grew up,' replied Sam. 'And was able to do something that I had been wanting to do for a long time. I finally said my goodbyes to dad.'

Before either the demigod or the goddess could reply, another group of people barged in. One of which was a nine year old girl. She beamed as she spotted Sam. Without warning Sarah Parker jumped up the bed and gave her big brother a hug before punching him on the shoulder.

'That's for leaving, jerk.'

'Language,' said Anne.

'I'm not leaving anytime soon. I hear you've been having fun with the other kids.'

Sarah nodded. 'It's really fun. Are you crying?'

'No,' said the demigod wiping his eyes. 'It's dusty in here.'

'Hello, Dragon,' said Circe with a grin. 'Never thought I'd see another mage come back from the dead. Left at the old oak?'

'Went right, so ended up in downtown LA. Thank gods I had gramps looking after me.'

'Lucky,' replied the goddess. 'I gotta go, with no one paying me for my time, I have things to settle on my island. Visit me from time to time, mom has the info.'

'What about you-know-what?'

'I can't pass on what hasn't been given,' replied Circe with a smile before vanishing.

'Are all you mages this nuts?' asked Sarah.

'Yeah,' replied Lou. 'It runs in the family, just look at your brother. A real nutter if you ask me. Sam, Amazon just brought a package for you.' Lou pointed at the box that she brought in. 'You haven't pissed off any female warriors, right?'

'Could very well be,' said Sam. 'I think I ran into some of them while I made my way back home. They were pretty cool though.'

Lou opened the box and pulled out an envelope, an orange jumpsuit and a black collar. She eyed the other people in the room.

'Sarah, why don't you go fetch your father? We have to go soon,' said Anne as she ushered her daughter out of the room under light protest.

Lou read the note out loud. 'Dear Lou and Sam (and other residents of cabin 20), I have heard from my sister about a young boy running rampant across the demigod community. As Fate wants it, it seems that he has also encountered some of my sisters and managed to escape without harm. It has come to my attention that this boy is Sam. Lou, included in this package you'll find an orange jumpsuit and collar that will fit him perfectly. Use it wisely.'

'Hell no,' said Sam. 'I'm not wearing that.'

'You will,' said Lou. 'And you will do so while doing community work. We'll work out the details later, but trust me, a lot of people could use a pair of hands to help out.' A wicked grin appeared on her face.

'Mom?' Sam looked at the other women in the room.

'She's in charge of you at camp, so we have no authority here,' replied Anne.

Sam stared at them with a shocked expression. 'But…'

'No buts,' replied Hecate. 'You will do as told, or should we add another punishment to the list?'

Sam sighed. 'No ma'am.'

'Good, then we'll leave you in the good hands of these fine ladies.' Hecate and Anne gave him a hug before stepping outside. Helen and Harley had joined them.

'I have some things to do,' said Lou before grabbing the box and nodding at Harley before leaving.

Harley approached the bed alongside Helen.

'Hi,' said Sam. Harley did not reply, but pulled back the sheets and revealed the sore and infected stump.

'Sam,' said Harley. 'Do you remember what I told you the first time you got in here?' The doctor stared at her patient as she gloved up.

'You said that you'd have Helen give me a good scrub.'

'Helen, asses the patient for me.'

Helen smirked. 'The patient hasn't washed in approximately two weeks. Malnourished and dehydrated as well. Lacks a lot of vitamins and minerals. Minor cuts and scrapes.' Helen ordered Sam to move so that she could spread out a plastic sheet over the bedding. 'Various bruises, infected cuts and a burn wound. His stump is extremely sore and inflamed. I recommend a night's stay at the infirmary, a decent diet and a thorough washing.'

'Washing?'

Harley grinned. 'Helen, you may proceed.'

Sam watched Helen approach with a sponge and water-filled bowl in hand.

Two weeks later

'Have you finished your math homework for this week?' asked Suzan.

'Do you have to bring that up? I haven't set foot in the cabin since dawn. Five minutes of rest is all I ask.' Sam dropped into the couch and laid there face down.

'That's no answer.'

'I haven't,' groaned Sam.

Suzan smiled as she pulled out his binder and laid open a new page of unfinished math exercises. 'It's not that hard. Want me to explain it to you?'

'Math is the devil's work,' sighed Sam.

'Your dad was a mathematician and a damn good one too, I wonder where this hate is coming from.'

'Mrs Ekto, our Maths teacher. That woman is insufferable. Every hour with her seems like an eternity. And she'd pick on me every chance she got.'

'Mrs. Ekto? Does she have a first name?'

'Anna-Lee, I think.'

At that point Annabeth and Lou walked into the cabin and stared at the youngest demigod laying on the couch and the binder.

'Need help with that?' asked Annabeth. 'If I can help Percy achieve a better grade, you really have a shot.'

'No thanks,' said Sam. 'I'll never need it in real life anyway. Stupid algebra.'

Annabeth stared at Suzan who showed an equally shocked expression.

'I have your schedule for the next weeks,' started Lou. 'It's pretty packed. Demeter cabin needs you on harvest duty, Ares and Apollo need an arrow boy at the archery range. The kids need you to be their DM for the next couple of days and then there a few surprises as well. Oh, and Annabeth has claimed you for the day after tomorrow. Something about a deal you made?'

'From dawn till dusk I'm yours. Still haven't a clue as to why you'd want to research me.'

Annabeth grinned. 'Late to being claimed, curses anybody even the gods and gets out pretty much unscathed, mage who couldn't properly do magic until he unleashes a dragon to kill the Mother of All Evil and now you're back from the dead. Sounds interesting to me.'

Sam sighed as he got up. 'Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some business to take care of.'

'Be in bed by ten,' said Lou. 'Olympus has invited us.'

Sam grunted a reply as he walked out the door.

'What is it, the tenth straight day?' asked Suzan.

Annabeth nodded. 'She's really mad.'

Lou grinned a little.

He took a seat on her porch, right beside the door. It was one of his earliest tasks as community service. After people saw what the Hecate cabin was like, they wanted some things to change around theirs as well. The daughter of Poseidon had asked for a porch to be built "until the son of Hecate has blisters".

Sam pulled out a deck of cards and practiced his sleight of hand while he waited in the evening shade of the porch. This was the tenth day since his return that he sat beside her door, waiting for a reply from the daughter of the storm goddess. She was the first one who had come to visit him in the infirmary. Sam had shown her a grin before she had slapped him across the face and broken his nose. They hadn't spoken to each other since then.

'So, here we are again,' said Sam as he shuffled his cards once more. 'I guess you still hate me. I was secretly hoping you'd kiss me, but all I got was a slap and a broken nose. No worries, Harley set it and healed it.'

'I saw you at the archery range today, was that Eve giving you those lessons she promised you? That's pretty neat, maybe you could teach me that too? Since mom banned me from doing magic, I'm trying to get better at physical combat. Swords still aren't my forte though.'

He laid out the aces and eights in a diamond pattern. Sam stretched out his legs and popped off the prosthesis. He let out a sigh of relief. 'Could we talk when I get back from Olympus? Not that I'm not liking our porch moments, but I'd like to talk face to face.' He heard noise from the inside. 'You know what? When I was in the labyrinth and unleashed the dragon I saw things, things that happened and might happen. I saw us as well, sitting somewhere as the sun was setting. I think we were happy. Maybe we can try again?'

Sam heard some stumbling noises from the inside. He sighed and popped his leg back on. He stood up and stared at the door.

'Listen I got to go, curfew and all, but I'd appreciate it if you could let me know something by morning.'

And with that Sam Parker walked back to his own cabin.

They stood in the elevator as Lou pushed the secret button. Both mages wore their cloaks and camp shirts. Lou also wore a skirt and sandals which got her raised eyebrows from her siblings as she appeared at the breakfast table with Charlotte.

'So you won't take some fashion advice from your sister, but you'll take it from your lover? Nice family we got,' said Suzan with a grin.

'Oh shut up,' huffed Lou as she lobbed a spoonful of yoghurt at Suzan, which in turn got her a slap on the head by both Charlotte and Root.

As the elevator music continued to play while they arrived at floor 600, Sam smiled. Something he had been doing ever since he appeared at the breakfast table.

'You're pretty happy about something,' said Lou.

'Yeah,' replied Sam as he felt his mp3-player in his pocket, the note crumpling around it. She wanted to talk in the afternoon.

'Cali?'

Sam nodded as the giant doors to the throne room opened. The two demigods walked into it and walked until they stood before the multitude of gods and goddesses. Beside the Olympians, there were a couple of minor gods as well. Hecate greeted her children with a nervous smile.

'Sam Parker,' spoke Zeus loudly. 'You were summoned here by the Council to receive a token of our gratitude for saving Camp Half Blood and Olympus. We have extended the same courtesy to several of you fellow campers, but you were rather absent when that happened.'

'Thank you my lord,' spoke Sam after bowing.

'Who are you and what have you done with Sam Parker?' asked Artemis. 'He would've shown us a grin and made sure he was to get a reward.'

'May I speak freely, my lords, my ladies?'

'Speak as you wish Sam,' said Poseidon.

'I have seen things, lady Artemis. When I was in the labyrinth and the dragon roared, I had raw magic running through me. And I saw many if not infinite possibilities, past decisions that may influence the future, how things could've been different if this or that never happened or something else did. I have seen the future I would've had if a certain truck hadn't rammed us off the road, if I hadn't been adopted by a loving couple, if I hadn't been the son of goddess. I've seen so many things that I wish I hadn't. But then there were paths taken that will be your downfall.'

'Our downfall?' asked Athena. 'How?'

'I've seen things you've done in the past that will come and haunt you in the future. I can't explain every vision to you, so I decided to draw them for you.' Sam pulled out a pouch from his cloak and opened it. 'Lou, will you hand every board to each of them?' Sam pulled out a board and called out a name. Every Olympian received a board and a couple of the minor gods as well.

'I am no great artist, so I used my fire magic to sear every image onto the board you've received. Some were clearer than others. Lady Hera, could you tell the Council what you see?'

The goddess stared at him with big eyes. 'I see a man wielding a club, a hydra I think and a lion skin. Hercules? That can't be.'

'You did make him mad and he killed his own family, right? It's not that he will be your downfall, he might be. I merely have seen visions for each of you. Each of you could be the root of Olympus' downfall.'

'Why show us this?' asked Aphrodite.

'You deserve it,' said Sam. 'Consider it a gift. And I have come bearing more gifts.' Sam showed a grin.

'And there he is again,' said Poseidon with a sigh.

'We will discuss this later,' declared Zeus. 'Sam Parker, for your sacrifice against Pandora we would like to offer you immortality, the possibility of becoming a god.'

'Any way I can trade it for something else? Because I don't want to be a god, but you can do something else for me.'

'Why don't you demigods want to be immortal anymore?' asked Zeus. 'You'd live forever.'

'Because that sucks,' said Sam. 'Spending eternity among you lot? No thanks, I'd become a sourpuss like Hephaestus or Dionysius in no time.'

'Watch your tongue, young man,' said Hecate. 'One more word and I'll tell your mother.'

Sam rolled his eyes. He muttered an incantation and waved his hand. Suddenly a silver plate with a dome on top appeared in his hands. He walked over to Athena and handed her the plate he made a lifting motion and the goddess lifted too dome to reveal a piece of meat.

'What is that?' asked Nike.

'It's a tongue,' said Demeter with a tone of disgust.

Sam motioned the goddess to hand him the plate. Athena handed him the plate and Sam placed the piece of meat into his mouth. He closed it and waved his hands. The plate disappeared and he smiled.

'There, now you can tell everybody that Athena, goddess of wisdom handed Sam Parker his tongue on a silver plate.'

Lou pulled him back to the centre of the room, pushed him on the chair she had conjured and drew symbols in his neck. 'Two more weeks in the jumpsuit,' she said. 'And no deserts for a week.'

'Enough,' said Hades. 'I wish to hear what he has to say. If he would mention his way out of my domain, I would be most grateful. What is your wish?'

Sam scrapped his throat and pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket. 'I assume that you could do anything I ask?'

'If it is within reason,' said Hera.

'I have several requests,' said Sam. 'First of all, I want to sit on Ares' throne. Secondly, I would like Alabaster Torrington to be allowed to go to the Isle of Blessed, thirdly I want to have the Ancient Law abolished, fourthly I wish to…'

'Wait,' said Hestia from to hearth. 'You want what?'

'The throne, Isle of Blessed for Torrington, the Ancient Law abolished, fortified borders for Camp Half Blood, my record at the Romans expunged and …'

'Abolish the Ancient Laws? Are you insane?' asked Dionysius.

'You tell me.' Sam grinned. 'And I only want one abolished.'

'Speak,' said Zeus.

'For being gods you are pretty dense beings,' said Sam. 'Have you any idea what you bring upon us demigods? You are here, safe from harm until the enemy stands at your doors, while we wage war and go on quests. We live in fear every time we step outside the borders, we give you life but you only give us death.'

'He's right,' said Lou. 'Have you any idea what we endured during the wars?'

'I want you to be parents first, and gods second,' said Sam. 'If you can, I would appreciate it if you could try to see it from our perspective once in a while.'

'Not abolish but be less strict about us not interfering in our children's lives,' said Athena.

'Yes.'

'We will discuss it later,' said Zeus. 'Your further requests?'

'My final request is to all of you. I want you to transform into your Disney counterparts. And I want proof.' Sam crumpled the paper and put it back in his pocket.

'Alright, Ares let him sit on your throne, Hades see to it that Torrington arrives on the Isle, Hecate, Hephaestus and Athena, start designing the fortifications,' said Zeus. 'Have Justitia visit the Romans and expunge his record, but it's a no on the Disney.'

'Aw, please?' pleaded Sam. 'Only one of you?'

'No,' said Zeus. 'Now stop it, or I'll have you chained to a rock. You may choose one more thing, but we need something in return. You need to promise us that you will always protect the young ones at camp.'

'You have my word, Lord Zeus.' Sam bowed his head.

'What does that mean, your word?' asked the war god.

Sam grinned once more as he took out a second pouch from his cloak and threw it at Ares. The god caught and opened it. His look went vacant as he dropped the pouch. A bloodied spoon and a sphere fell out of it. The sphere blinked.

'Your word is well enough,' said the war god as he stepped from his throne.

Sam advanced and used the steps to climb up and just before he sat down, he unbuttoned his trousers with a grin.

'He did what?' asked Annabeth as Lou let go of his ear as they arrived at the arena.

'Don't make me repeat it,' said Lou. 'And stop laughing, it wasn't funny.'

'Yes it was,' said Sam rubbing his ear. 'Why are we here, I have to go and see Cali? And why are there so many people here?'

'You're going to be a sparring partner for some people, they booked you for an afternoon.'

'Sam,' said George. 'There was a package delivered at our cabin for you.' George showed him the small crate in his hands.

Lou and Annabeth helped him open it while George watched. It was a Celestial Bronze construction with Imperial Gold parts. It had a joint-like hinge in the middle.

'It's a prosthesis,' said Annabeth.

Sam picked it up. It was lighter than he thought it would be, but it seemed sturdy enough. The design made it look like a futuristic robot leg and the toes were a fine touch. Sam thought it kind of looked like Bucky Barnes' arm.

Lou picked up the note and handed it to Sam. He opened it and snickered at the message.

Thanks for making an old sourpuss laugh – Hephaestus

With the help of the counsellors Sam managed to change his prosthesis for the new one. Gearing up in lightweight armour, his cloak and twin axes, Sam stepped out of the catacombs and sloughed towards the middle of the arena, where he awaited his opponents. As he stared at the crowd, he spotted several gods and goddesses sitting next to the demigods.

The crowd became agitated as three opponents dressed in full gear without helmets walked into the arena. Sam recognized Cali as she unsheathed one of her blades and raised her shield. Next to her stood Eve, sword drawn but bow and arrow easily within reach on her back. The third one was rather unexpected. She showed him a wicked grin. Lianne's eyes glinted as she twirled her two hunting knives.

Sam and Cali marched towards each other.

'Thanks for being a great guy, Sam Parker.'

Before he could react, Cali had pressed her lips against his. The crowd cheered.

'So, we are not going to talk?'

'Afterwards. I've already asked Harley to prepare your bed,' she replied.

'So, you already assume I will lose.'

'I know you will, Peg Leg. No shiny new one will help you.'

'Is that so, Sunshine?'

'You are going down.'

Sam raised his axes as the ladies prepared themselves.

After the fight, not all people went to the dinning pavilion for their dinner in celebration of the rewrite of the ancient decree and the design of the bead of this year.

'Stop whining,' said Harley. 'It's nothing but disinfectant.'

'But it hurts,' grunted Sam as the doctor applied a Band-Aid on the cut above his eyebrow.

'Yeah, yeah, we've heard it by now,' said Cali. 'You have a boo-boo and mommy needs to give it a little kiss.'

'You can give it a kiss too you know.'

'Do that outside,' said Harley. 'I have no need for pubescent lovers.'

'You vex me,' said Sam.

'Get out, or I'll vex you where the sun don't shine.'

The two lovers bolted out of the room with Harley shaking her head with a smile.

They reached the pavilion just in time for the announcement.

Chiron motioned everyone to be quiet. 'My lords, my ladies and campers. Together with the head-counsellors we have come with the design for this year. Will.'

Will Solace flicked a switch and a projector showed them the design.

'It is a black bead bearing a fiery ace of clubs within a silver storm cloud. It represents Sam Parker's sacrifice in the Battle of Half Blood Hill and Cali Mayweather's victory against the Hunters of Artemis,' said Chiron.

The crowd cheered until Lou Ellen rose from her seat and stood on the table.

'Yeah right, that's because we couldn't officially say that it was Cali who kicked his butt so easily. To my baby brother and Storm Girl, may she kick his butt many more times.'

The two stared at each other before they vanished and reappeared at the beach.

'Thanks gramps,' muttered Sam before they strolled towards the sea and Sam spread out his cloak as a beach towel.

'So here we are, at the end of camp, sitting at the beach,' said Sam.

'Yep,' replied Cali. 'And staring at the stars.'

The two turned towards each other and kissed.

'You still have my headphones,' said Sam as she laid her head on his chest.

'You're a big doofus Sam Parker,' she said with a laugh. 'But you're my big doofus.'
