Five and a half weeks after Percy went missing on an op

A beeping in the transportation room went off rapidly before depositing an injured Omega whose armor was splattered with blood who was getting up from his crouched position upon his arrival. He noticed the clock on the wall hit eight in the morning bringing him to realize that most of the forces and his family would probably be eating breakfast and decided that it was probably best that he tells his family that he was back first before stitching himself up once more and get a few ambrosia squares in him to replenish himself after the hectic op he had and limped his way to the dining hall.

Omega noticed a few soldiers stare at him in shock whenever he walked past them in the hallway and didn't know if they were shocked at the blood on his armor or the fact that he was seriously in need of some medical attention but went the wrong way.

Omega approached the doors, flipped his hood down, and willed his armor and mask off before pushing the doors open only to be shocked and surprised when a mass of auburn and raven hair smashed into him bringing him down to the floor.

"Ughh please don't do that again when I'm like this," Percy said upon landing on the bruised portion of his body and opened his eyes to see Artemis and Thalia who he was sure were supposed to be on Earth currently on top of him and hugging the life out of him with tears coming from their eyes.

"Maybe we can take this to medical so I can get stitched up and then I'll explain to you where I've been and in turn, you'll be telling me as to how you two are here when the last time I checked you were gone and on another planet," Percy said to them before gently pushing the girls off of him and stood up to start limping his way to medical with the others following closely behind him.

Percy's knee almost buckled in almost making him fall but Artemis managed to catch him before he could fall earning more concerned glances from his family and a grunt from Percy.

The group walked into the medical facility and brought Percy to one of the empty beds where the medics started working on him.

"Alright, you know what to do." The medic said to him earning a nod from him and removed his shirt earning multiple gasps from the women in the room. Percy's chest was covered in shards of shrapnel with his back showing the same signs of damage and the scars from Tartarus didn't help the image either. The medic went right to work once his shirt was off and started cleaning the blood off of him.

"Percy, what happened to you? You were missing for almost 6 weeks with no contact!" Nyx asked him as she was desperate for the answers as to why her son was missing for so long.

"The idiot I was doing recon on showed his hand one night and that allowed me to go for the kill but he rigged the entire compound to blow up the moment his heart stopped beating and I got caught in the blast. I had to recover somewhere before I could even gather enough energy to get back." Percy said in self-anger.

"Alright you're all patched up but try to take it easy for the next few days just to let everything settle especially for that leg," The medic told him and gave the medic an appreciative nod before the medic left the room.

"Now that I answered your questions, I believe you owe me some answers?" Percy asked the group before him and looked at the two girls who practically grabbed his heart and threw it off a cliff.

Chaos noticed the look towards the two girls and motioned for everyone else to leave the room but Nyx was harder to convince to leave them alone.

"What are you two doing here? Last time I checked you two wanted to head home as soon as possible." Percy said while putting a new shirt on, making his point sound more like an accusation rather than a question once the others left the room.

When Artemis and Thalia both stayed quiet it made Percy sigh in disappointment and he slowly turned his body to get off the bed but was interrupted when Artemis and Thalia both reached for him and wrapped their arms around him keeping him on the bed momentarily.

"Please just wait. We'll tell you but just don't leave us again…" Thalia said to him with her head buried in his chest and he felt the front of his chest get wet and realized that it was due to the tears rolling off of Thalia and hesitantly raised an arm to rub gentle circles with his left hand while his right hand was occupied by the tight grip Artemis had on it

"Just talk and I'll listen then," Percy told them before leaning back on the bed but with a slight grimace on his face at the feeling.

So with that said, the two girls started telling Percy about the conversation they had with Chaos while he was still missing. Percy's eyes widened at what was revealed about him during the talk they had.

"Why didn't you tell us that you had feelings for us earlier?" Artemis asked him to which Percy responded "At the time you were still a very devoted man-hating goddess who wasn't afraid to shoot any male if you thought they were being their usual self and Thalia just stopped being a tree at the time so not the best timing to be completely honest with you. Also, there would have been a very likely chance that you would have just killed me if I told you before," He pointed out to the goddess who couldn't help but agree with that statement as she would have either turned him into prey for the hunt or just have shot him full of arrows herself.

"Look, what I said to you two the day before you left...if being with me means that you lose your hunters then I don't know if being with me is worth it. The only reason why Zeus kicked you out was due to you siding with me over him. If you were hurt because of me-" Before Thalia interrupted him.

"You're an idiot you know? So what if we get hurt? At least I'll know that you are right next to us beating up whoever even thought about hurting me or her and we'll do the same for you kelp-brain," Thalia said and grabbed his face to make eye-contact to let him know she was serious about this.

Percy let out a heavy sigh and looked to Artemis to get her thoughts on the matter who looked rather calm about the whole topic but some doubt did show on her face.

"As you know I hold no love for most males but you are the only exception to that and will remain the only one to hold my affection. Chaos was right in saying that a part of me wanted to regain the approval of my father but he will never change and I think it is time that my happiness takes priority over becoming his loyal daughter again. I will accept to date you if you ask which you still haven't yet," And glared at Percy at the final part and Thalia slapped him lightly making him wince.

"Alright, but are you sure you want to be with me?" Percy asked to reassure himself but got slapped again for it.

"If you ask us one more time after what we just told you then we will leave you for real this time," Thalia said and rolled her eyes.

"Alright alright. Thalia Grace and Artemis, goddess of the moon will you accept me being your boyfriend?" He asked them.

"Well we should probably think about that shouldn't we?" Thalia said with Artemis tapping her chin pretending to ponder the question but stopped once Percy deadpan stared at them making them laugh.

"Yes, yes we will," Artemis said and was rewarded with Percy grinning wide as if someone just made a bunch of blue-food in front of him.

"Now that we solved this out we are having a very long talk about not paying attention and going missing on us," Artemis said and waved a finger in front of him making him pale and prepared himself for a tongue-lashing on his rash actions and feebly tried to defend himself though he would admit later on that his arguments sounded lame.

In the throne room, Chaos had a smirk on his face as he knew what was about to happen to his nephew.

The troops passing by medical on that day would report what sounded like women yelling at someone but whenever it was mentioned to Chaos he would just wave them off saying that it wasn't a concern to them so they didn't need to be worried and leave with a laugh.

Two months later

Percy woke up to a mass of auburn and raven hair on his chest as usual. Percy could without a doubt say that the past two months were the best of his life. Percy, Thalia, and Artemis agreed to start off their relationship slow which Percy had no qualms about agreeing to it and eventually, it got to the point where the girls stayed in Percy's room so often that they just moved in with him and it helped that they were close to Percy whenever one of the girls had the occasional flashback to what happened in the cabin and wake up screaming and in turn, the girls would help Percy with his night-terrors though his family did notice them happening less frequently ever since he started dating Artemis and Thalia and would ease his fears away and assure him that they were still there and with him. Percy still went on missions but only did them twice every week to have time to go on dates with the loves of his life.

They still hadn't gotten to the next step of their relationship but Percy didn't complain as he was more than happy to wait until they were both ready. Percy was wondering what would happen to them after the upcoming war when he felt the mass on his right start shifting around and saw a pair of silver eyes open and shift up to meet his eyes. Artemis smiled up at Percy and kissed him lightly under his jawline and received a grin from Percy.

"Morning moonbeam," Percy said quietly in an attempt to not wake Thalia who was still happily snoozing away in the crook of his neck, and kissed Artemis back who was blushing at the nickname.

"Morning," Artemis said in an equally quiet tone as well and smiling back at him.

Percy was always the one to wake first with Artemis following close behind him and not many words were usually expressed between them whenever they were waiting for Thalia to wake up. Artemis started running her hand that was on his chest over his scars and gently traced them drawing a curious look from Percy as she always seemed to do that whenever they woke up first.

"Are you ever going to tell me why you keep doing that? Not that I'm complaining of course cause it feels nice," Percy asked her and added quickly in case she stopped doing it.

"Maybe," Artemis said before closing her eyes and moved her hand to the next scar.

A groan next to them told them that the third person in their love triangle was finally awake. Thalia opened her eyes to see Artemis running her finger over Percy's chest and his eyes staring back at her.

"Hey thunder bug nice to see you join us in the land of the living," Percy said with a chuckle at the end.

"Shut up," Before she lightly threw her hand on his face, and Percy kissed her palm that was over his mouth.

"Come on Thals, breakfast should be set in the hall now. Besides Chaos said he had news to share with us," He said before pulling himself and Artemis into a sitting position on the bed and lightly tugging on Thalia's arm.

"Fine but you're giving me a message later," Thalia told him and begrudgingly pulled herself up and rested her head on Percy's shoulder making him chuckle.

"If you're that tired from the hunt you two went on yesterday then yes I will happily give you a message later," Percy said before getting himself off the bed and walked to the bathroom to get ready with Thalia doing the same in the other bathroom leaving Artemis to run through her equipment like usual and waited for them to be finished.

Thalia came out fully dressed and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes with Percy coming out a few seconds after her wearing his standard black cargo pants and holding his short-sleeve in his hands with water dripping down his body and noticed Artemis and Thalia blushing at the sight and wiggled his eyebrows before slipping his shirt on.

Percy grabbed their hands and walked out to start their walk to the dining hall. The trio started talking about their plans for the day and pushed open the doors once they reached the hall with the troopers that saw them walk in giving them a friendly nod or a sharp salute. The trio was greeted with smiles and hugs from the primordials and the creator before taking their seat to start ordering food for themselves.

"So what's this news that you can't wait to share with us? Is it related to the upcoming war?" Thalia asked Chaos and getting a big grin in return confusing the trio and the primordials next to him.

"Well? What is it?" Aether asked and received a slap on the head from Hemera making him glare at her who was whistling innocently.

"What?" She asked with an innocent look on her face.

"Why'd you slap me so hard?" Aether asked his sister.

"Because Chaos was just about to tell us before you interrupted him dumbass," Hemera said while facepalming at the stupidity of her brother.

"He was not!"

"Yes, he was!"

"He was not!"

"Yes, he was!"

"He was not!"

The squabble between the two went on before Gaia threw a small rock at the two and pointed to Chaos who was looking at them though he thoroughly enjoys watching the two squabble like children but would never admit it as they would just do it on purpose and roughly cleared his throat and started to speak.

"I have good news. Apparently one of Nyx's daughters realized that Tartarus has gone dormant for now." He said leading to a bunch of confused glances at the head table.

"Does this mean we won't have to fight in the war? What exactly do you mean by dormant? Last we checked he had a body and the energy radiating from the pit was rising." Percy said with an eyebrow raised.

"No, we still have to fight with the Olympians but this simply pushes the battle by three years and dormant as in anybody he finds isn't a suitable host for him as he's too volatile making him have to switch hosts often so he's pissed right now at not being able to take over Olympus yet." Chaos said.

"And what of the prophecy? What is the status of that right now and why not just attack Tartarus while he's weak?" Artemis asked curiously. Ever since the prophecy was revealed to her and Thalia they didn't know what to make of it and Percy constantly apologizing for their involvement in the initial days didn't help at all but they eventually learned to live with it.

"The prophecy as far as we know is still in effect but it didn't state when we had to fight but only that we or more specifically Percy has to fight him at some point with the two of your help. As for the reason as to why we're not attacking right now? Well, it's always good to make the Olympians sweat a little at the potential of a new enemy and us waiting will have to make Zeus beat down his ego to ask for help which is where we come in." Chaos said and continued to eat even though he had no need for food but enjoyed being normal of sorts.

"Eh, that's fair enough," Thalia said after listening to his reasoning.

"Rest assured we will save Olympus from the Titan that I can promise," He said as he knew the two females dating his nephew still had friends and family on Earth.

AN: Well here's chapter 8 for all of you that's still reading this! Again thank you all for the reviews you leave! The pace will start slowing down now but rest assured I will still keep writing the next chapters.

Peace and until next time
