Percy was standing in Chiron's office with his arms crossed. From looking at the faces of his three other friends he could tell they were all frustrated too and wanted answers. Dick was fidgeting in his chair, looking as though he wanted to be anywhere but there.

Chiron sighed. "So our paths cross again."

Dick looked down, was he ashamed of something?

"Did, ummm, did you get the Hermes cabin all fixed up after I left?" He asked.

What was going on? Dick had been here before? And apparently destroyed a part of the Hermes cabin.

Chiron sighed again. "Yes, and just so you know, mr. D still hasn't forgiven you so I would steer clear from him for now."

Dick gulped.

"All right, all right!" Thalia said angrily. "What is going on? I think we deserve an explanation!"

"I second that statement!" Grover nodded.

Percy noticed Dick shift nervously in his chair.

"I think I should start from the beginning." Chiron began, he sat down in his wheelchair disguise across from Dick and folded his arm on the table. "A little less than a year ago Diana Prince, a women you all may know as Wonder Women brought Dick to camp."

"Hold on, hold on!" Thalia cried. "You know princess Diana of Themyscera!" She pointed at Dick. "How?"

Dick looked longingly at the door than turned towards her. "Again, Bruce funds the Justice League, and." Dick sighed. "Bruce and Diana are kinda dating so..."

Thalia's mouth was hanging open. Percy could hear her mumbling quietly to herself. "Is that even allowed, I thought Amazonian's swore off all men."

Chiron cleared his throat. "As I was saying, Diana brought Dick to camp after a strange encounter she'd had with Medusa. She did not care to elaborate, but she made it clear that the encounter proved Dick had godly heritage."

Everyone turned to Dick who had turned bright red. "I do not care to elaborate, either." He said in embarrassment. "The point is it proved that I was a demigod."

"Very well." Chiron said. "Diana had hoped that Dick would stay with us for a month, train, learn about his history and hopefully be claimed." Chiron rubbed his eyes tiredly. "He didn't even stay a week."

Dick fought to hide his smile.

"Dick wreaked havoc upon the camp. Despite not appearing to have any godly strength he terrorized the other campers in combat training, using a string of acrobatic moves to disarm his opponents instead of learning the new fighting techniques from his instructors. He tore a large hole in the Hermes cabin during his stay there." Dick giggled a bit at this. "It was three in the morning, and the child's excuse for his actions was that his cabin mates were complaining about overcrowding."

Percy couldn't help but give a small smile at this, however he quickly hid it when making eye contact with Chiron.

"The worst of his pranks was when he dropped a balloon filled with wine on mr. D's head." Grover and Annabeth gasped loudly, while Percy and Thalia tried to contain their laughter.

"On the fifth day we simply woke up that morning and he was gone. I hadn't seen him again until now." Chiron turned to Dick. "May I know how did you leave by the way?"

Dick smiled mischievously. "You could say I have a fast friend."

"Oh good, more ominous answers." Thalia said sarcastically.

Percy turned towards Chiron. "You said Dick didn't display any of the godly strength a demigod should have in combat training?"

Chiron cleared his throat. "Yes other than being able to pass through the barrier and see through the mist, Dick appears to be completely... human" Chiron said deep in thought. "You had not been claimed the last time you were here." He said turning towards Dick. "Am I right to assume you now know of your godly heritage?"

Dick looked uncomfortable, he glanced at Percy for a brief second then stared back at Chiron. "Poseidon."

Chiron considered Dick thoughtfully, then leaned back in his wheelchair, crossing his arms across his chest. "Another child of Poseidon. I'm surprised he broke the oath twice in these short periods of time. However I can see the resemblance, if not for your bright blue eyes, you and Percy would have been identical at your age."

"But there are still multiple questions that have yet to be answered." Said Annabeth narrowing her eyes. "If you were never claimed, how did you know of your parentage, according to Percy, Poseidon never even knew you existed. And if your really are the child of one of the most powerful gods in Olympus, how is it that you display none of the signs of a demigod? No powers, no strength, no ADHD or Dyslexia. It doesn't make sense."

Dick seemed to wilt at every question Annabeth threw his way. "I-I don't actually know why I don't have powers, or anything like that, but-"

"Poseidon doesn't know of your existence?" Asked Chiron surprised.

Dicks face scrunched deep in thought. "I'm not supposed to talk to him, my mom went through a lot to make sure I stayed hidden."

Silence.

That's not what Percy had been expecting. Dick had actively hidden from his own dad? Why? Percy remembered the sad look he'd seen on his fathers face and suddenly felt angry. Dick clearly had known about his heritage for a lot longer than Percy had originally thought and what right did he have to judge someone he had never even met?

"How long have you known about this exactly and what did Poseidon do that warrants avoiding him at all costs?" Percy demanded a little harsher than he'd intended. Dick visibly shrank in his chair but Percy couldn't help it, he was angry. He just didn't understand where Dicks mistrust of their father came from.

Dick looked down at the floor and brought his knees up to his chest. "I, umm, I only found out that Poseidon was my dad after I left camp the first time. I found a letter... It explained a lot, but it never explained how or why Poseidon never knew about me. It never explained why I had to hide." Dick looked up at Percy with angry tears in his eyes. "From the way the letter was written it sounded like my mom was afraid of something."

Percy's anger slowly vanished into nothing but sadness as he heard Dick whisper. "Like she was afraid of Poseidon."
