1 MONTH LATER

Percy was bored. He had been asked to attend this council meeting for reasons that no one would tell him. He was sitting by his father's throne listening to the God's argue for the 10 time in an hour. It shouldn't even be possible to argue that much, but they did.

He sighed. There was no reason for him to be there. He sat there at the foot of his father's throne, thinking about Thalia. They had started dating about 2 months ago, but hadn't been on an actual date with her. They share a tent, but haven't gone on an actual date. Crazy how some things are.

"PERSEUS JACKSON!" Zeus thundered. Percy's head snapped up to look at his uncle.

"EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" Zeus said. Percy and the other Gods looked confused.

"Explain what?" Percy asked.

"THERE HAVE BEEN 31 DEATHS THIS MONTH. ONE EACH DAY. THE VICTIMS HAVE TEETH MARKS MATCHING THOSE OF YOUR SYMBIOTE! EXPLAIN!" Zeus explained quite impatiently.

"What are you talking about? That isn't me." Percy said. Getting pissed off in an eerie replay of when he was accused of stealing Zeus' Master Bolt.

"You're the only one with a symbiote." Athena said with a smug smile. Just the thought of her made Venom come out and bite some heads off. Venom was especially pissed because Athena said 'symbiote' wrong.

"Well, it isn't us." The bonded people said together.

"Then who is it?" Hera asked snobbily.

"I don't know?!" Percy said exasperatedly.

"Um.. I may know who did this." Venom said in Percy's head.

'Who?' Percy asked.

The Gods were staring at Percy as he had gone quiet. It looked like he was having an argument in his head. Apollo was silently laughing at the faces that Percy made as he argued with the voice in his head. After a couple of minutes, Percy sighed.

"We think we know who did it." Percy said.

"Who?" Poseidon asked.

"Venom's offspring." Percy said.

"YOU CHEATED ON THALIA!" Artemis yelled.

"No. Symbiotes reproduce much like bacteria. There's one, you look away, it's bigger, then it splits into 2. The new one is the offspring. In our case that would be whatever it named itself." Percy explained slowly.

Artemis nodded, signaling she understood.

"WHAT'S THIS ABOUT YOU AND THALIA?!" Zeus demanded.

"We're dating, get over it or there will be golden walls instead of white in this throne room." Percy said with Venom's voice leaking through.

"YOU CAN'T THREATEN ME!" Zeus yelled. "I AM A GOD. THE KING OF THEM!"

"And we..." Percy said, pausing to let Venom come out. "Are a KLYNTAR!" They yelled out.

Venom didn't notice Artemis sneaking up behind them. She proceeded to grab his shoulder and flashed them back to the Hunter's camp.

Venom retracted leaving Percy standing there. He turned around to face Artemis. "Thank you." He said.

Artemis nodded in acknowledgement. Before she turned away, Percy asked another question. "Can I take Thalia on a date tonight?"

"Sure. Why are you asking me?" Artemis asked confused.

"Because we'll be leaving the camp, just wanted to make sure we had permission to leave." He explained.

Percy walked over to his and Thalia's tent. He found her inside sitting on the bed polishing her bow. Percy walked over to her, sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Hey, you're back." Thalia said.

"Yep, and I have a surprise. Let's go." Percy said.

The pair made their way into the city. After walking for a while, they stopped at a burger joint. After eating enough to make Galactus jealous, they made their way across the street to a Laser Tag place.

Let's just say, Thalia won. By a landslide. She destroyed everyone in the arena because she was a Huntress. Her stealth and speed helped her out, but her experience with a bow hindered her skill with the laser gun.

They went home and cuddled in the bed.
