Chapter .2.

Camp Jupiter

Percy was happy with his life. Sure he could have his three limbs back but that just wasn't in the Fates for him.

He was teaching his friends. Which included Hazel Leveque daughter of Pluto, Frank Zhang son of Mars, Dakota Spears son of Bacchus, Pranjal son of Asclepius, and a couple of his wives, some advanced combat tactics, from his wheelchair when a flash off light appears in front of them.

In the familiar form of Mercury.

They all bow but Percy, of course, seeing Lord Mercury. The Romans had more contact with the Gods the last few years then they ever did. And all the Gods claimed their children here and their legacy's. The Gods also spent time with their children now and then. So attendance was up in Camp and the City. To an all time high. Thanks to Percy.

"Perce!" Mercury says

"Lord Mercury", Percy replies smiling with his scared lips

His robotic eye swirling around his other eye was grey now and didn't really move. Apollo had done his best but some things just couldn't he fixed and his eye was one of them. Lucky he had his robotic one.

"What have WE told you about the titles?" Mercury asks him with a mock stern look.
"Not to use them. Because of everything I have done", Percy repeats smirking

"And…?" Mercury starts

"And now that I'm a God too I don't need to use them. And that I am basically a son-in-law too all of you because I married your daughters ", Percy replies with a smile

"Good. Now we need to talk with Praetor Reyna", Mercury tells him looking serious which was unusually for the God of Thieves.
"Official business then? And grave?" Percy asks grimly reading his expression

Percy cursed in his head. Couldn't he had at least ONE day without any drama? If it wasn't missions and quests. It was Senates bitching or the biggest complainer of all the Camp Augur Octavian bitching about how the Greeks they let in would take over everything. Even through the Gods wanted this.

"I am afraid so", Mercury replies gravely

"Friends we will meet later", Percy tells his group
"Of course. Just send for us if you need us", Frank says with a nod

Frank would do anything for Percy. They were family through Poseidon. And Percy had made his confidence climb so he was not the same boy who arrived here. He used to be shy, timid and basically a coward. He was now a confident and proud Legionnaire for the famous Twelfth Legion. He would proudly go into battle with his friend and big brother figure. Who always believed he would be a great legionnaire. Percy had also convinced his adopted mother Juno to life HIS curse. His life was no longer tired to a piece of wood. He couldn't be more thankful for Percy. And had vowed to Percy in front of the Gods to serve him loyally as a legionnaire and protect Percy's wives if Percy was unable too and to protect Percy if necessary.

Hazel would too gladly go into battle with her Big Brother. Which is what she calls Percy in private. She was his second in command in the Legion Calvary on Arion. She was honoured when Percy chose her. As a daughter of Pluto people stayed away from her even in her previous Cohort. But as the Gods spent more time with them Hazel felt more people starting to accept her and it was all thanks to Percy. He had even convinced them to lift her curse and let her keep on living! Instead of returning to the Underworld.

Dakota, felt like Percy was a brother to him because he didn't talk down to him for his parent or for his constant need to drink Cool Aid or the occasional beer. Also didn't decimated because he was in the 5th Cohort. Percy had told him he was one of best legionaries for the job of Centurion and Reyna had told him he was one of the greatest Centurion's of his time. Which meant a lot coming from Reyna as she had been a Praetor for a long time. Her word also told him he was better then Jason Grace at leading the 5th. So he strove to make both Percy and Reyna proud of him.

For Pranjal he looked after Percy a lot because of Percy's disabilities. And because they were good friends and Percy believed that he could still he in the Legion. So he was the Healer in the 6th Cohort. One of the new cohorts. He got better at a sword too because of Percy. He also because of Percy got to spend time with his father and grandfather learning more about the healing arts. So he couldn't repay Percy enough.

Actually they had noticed over 7 years that Percy didn't treat anyone differently, well expect for Octavian and his followers. They loved watching Octavian make a fool of himself when Percy took him on in words or with a weapon. And Octavian never seemed to learn.

"We will see you later my husband as this meeting seems to be for Praetors", Gwen says with a smile kissing Percy's lips

"Thank you. Oh are you still keeping an eye on Octavian for me?" Percy asks them

"We are. We know he is still trying to gather power. We will go check with our sources now", Hazel replies

"Good I will see you later", Percy replies kissing Leila's lips as well and Silena's

Silena had been ecstatic to come back. Hades told him his judges had sent her to Asphodel against his orders. So he felt the need to make it up to her. Silena told Percy she would always love Beckendorf but he would want her to move on.

He then kisses Bianca's lips. She had come through the Doors of Death before they had been closed. Instead of sending her back to the Underworld the Gods agreed for her to become part of his Harem they had rewarded him with. Bianca had admitted she liked the idea because she had a crush on him and because she didn't want to run into Nico anytime soon. Apparently he was a little obsessed with bringing her back alive so they could be siblings again. Both Percy and Bianca agreed that wasn't healthy so they have been giving Nico time to heal and grown up a bit.

Percy smiles at them then moves his electronic wheelchair which was made out of Adamantine, Steel, Silver and Cosmic Dust. Thanks for him being a favour of the Gods and the fact the Lady Chaos gave them the materials.

"Follow my Uncle/Cuz Mercury", Percy says cheekily

"Cheek in you young Gods", Mercury mutters with a smirk

They go through the Camp. Many of the Legionnaires bowing to Mercury or running away. Percy was sure he saw a couple of Octavian's lackeys also run.

'Great the oversize stuffed turkey will come by soon', Percy thinks sarcastically

They get to the Praetors Offices and Percy lead Mercury into the office. He sees Reyna behind her desk.

"Rey my love", Percy says to her

Reyna looks up smiling. Oh how she loved Percy. She had been attracted to him the second he entered Camp. She didn't know then he would become her Husband. But they DID have an instant connection. And it didn't change when he was captured and put in Tartarus. Or with his terrible injuries. So that bought them closer.

And him being made Praetor in one week really impressed her and helped her out. Percy wasn't like the others that had been paired with her. He actually shared the work. Even now as injured as he was it still did his fair share and more.

He also bought unity to Roman and to have them more at peace at the Gods was nice in Reyna's opinion and riots and protests about the Gods had dropped in New Rome since Percy's arrival, his being blessed and being adopted.

She knew he was more Roman then he had been Greek. And surprisingly Neptune or Poseidon had been fine with that and changed Percy's parentage to Neptune. But Percy would always still have a little Greek in him.

She didn't mind she had to share him as he ALWAYS made time for her. She had been surprised actually at how little their Harem fought with another member of the Harem. More fights happened with someone outside the Harem more then anything.

Reyna looks passed Percy to see Lord Mercury smirking at her.
"Lord Mercury", Reyna says getting up and bowing

"Come on you too!" Mercury exclaims throwing his arms in the air in exasperation.

Reyna looks at Percy questionary for answers.
"He still is complaining on the formal titles and bowing", Percy replies to his wife smirking

"It is protocol Lord Mercury for official visits. And I'm SURE I can sense you are here for important business just as easily as Percy can", Reyna replies sitting down at a round table.

Percy goes to the table and pushes his wheelchair to be beside her. Where he always placed himself.

Mercury sighs, "We don't know how but Camp Half-Blood's borders are not secure anymore. Monsters are getting into Camp frequently and hurting many Campers as they are not as well trained as the Legion"

Percy and Reyna exchange looks.
"How does this concern the Legion and Rome?" Percy asks coldly

Percy still held some resentment for Camp Half-Blood. Between Annabeth cheating on him and them not coming for him in Tartarus well he didn't exactly like them. He knew his trip to Tartarus was in come of the Campers of Camp Half-Bloods Dreams. Morpheus and Apollo had confirmed that. As the Romans had the same and had sent rescue. A team of demigods lead by Reyna with Frank, Hazel, Dakota, Gwen, Leila, Ida, Michael Kahale (Who was a spy in Octavian's group), Pranjal a son of Asclepius, and a couple of others had all come for him.

So it was understandable that he wasn't feeling many good emotions for his first home. After all the Romans very rarely followed dream visions as they didn't get many. But they still did. So why hadn't Camp Half-Blood?

So what was causing this at the Greek Camp and what do the Gods want the Legion or Reyna and Percy to do. Percy just knew that EVERYONE wasn't going to like it.

"Your Camp and City are heavily guarded. You now have Walls around the Camp and City. You also have a Boundary God and Percy a God that can protect everyone here. But they need lessons on discipline and order. So that they can survive. If you don't help them Apollo says they are doomed in a few generations or sooner. You know how few Greek Demigods survive to adulthood", Mercury informs them

Percy and Reyna didn't know what to do. As the Legion really wouldn't like this and the Senate would definably not like this. And Octavian will be a nightmare.

"Do it my children. This will be important in things to come", a female voice in their heads say

Reyna and Percy look at each other they knew that voice was Lady Chaos and they couldn't really refuse her.

"I'll handle the Senate", Percy says with a sigh already getting a headache

This was going to be a nightmare. He could see maybe a few challenges he would have to give.

"I will handle the Legion and try to find accommodations", Reyna says with her own sigh

Mercury gives them a look of sympathy.

"When shall our dear cousins arrive? And will Chiron be with them?" Percy asks

"One week and yes Chiron will be with them", Mercury replies

Percy and Reyna groan. That was going to be a major hurdle. As Lupa hated Chiron and often ranted about his soft and lax teaching techniques. Well maybe hated wasn't the right word. It was probably something more hash then hated.

"Lupa will love this", Percy groans

Mercury smirks at them. Obviously finding this amusing. He knew about Lupa's hatred of Chiron.

"You tell Lupa!" they say looking at each other and saying it at the same time.

Then they both give each other looks before having a conversation with their eyes and turning on Mercury.

"You tell Lupa or I tell your Father about what you did is Las Vegas last Spring!" Percy says to Mercury smirking evilly

Mercury looks at him in utter horror.

Who was worse Jupiter, his father, King of Olympus, a class A Drama Queen and overreactor, who was a known hothead or Lupa, the Guardian of Rome, the She-Mother and Trainer of the Roman Heros, not to mention a Wolf Goddess!?...Damn…Damn and double damn…
