Last time on His Place:
"Hey there Perce!" The girl, who was only wearing a towel, spoke. "I'm sorry I used your bath-" The words died down her throat as her eyes focused on the group of girls behind the man.
Silence enveloped the area. The tension built up, with the shock of everyone inside stopped the from speaking.
"What the fu-"
All hell broke loose.
"Percy! Who the hell is she?!" The teen was asked by Hestia and Zoe, who were eager to learn about the towel clad woman in front of them.
"Oh my." The mother of creation remarked as she giggled. When Percy looked at the goddess of matrimony, she was glaring at him with a murderous look.
"I can explain!" Both Percy and the towel clad lady said at the same time.
Currently, we find our boi Perce in the crosshaird of various girls.
"Then explain!" Hestia, Zoë, and Hera all spoke.
"Do you remember what happened earlier? About me being tired?" The son of Poseidon asked. The girls nodded, which prompted him to continue. "Well I met her there."
"You brought a woman you just met to your place!?" Hera questioned.
Hestia and Zoë, looked at the teen critically.
"She needed help!" Argued the demigod. "She didn't have anything with her, so I took her here." Sensing the incoming headache, the demigod sighed. "You know what, just introduce yourself." He motioned for the towel clad girl to speak.
"I'm Olivia, Olivia Jackson." The girl introduced. "I'm a daughter of Poseidon."
"What?!" Most of them were shocked, Lady Chaos was off to horses and is currently munching on some chocolate chip cookies.
"Why are you shocked Percy?" The goddess of the hearth asked. "You brought her here, shouldn't you have know that?"
"She only told me her first name!" The demigod responded.
"So, is she your sister?" The former lieutenant questioned. "Didn't know you had one, Percy."
"I don't have one!" Replied Percy. "And if I did, she would be three at most, not an adult! Look at her!" The teen points to the towel-clad girl. "She's almost the same age as me!"
"We are the same age." The daughter of Poseidon chimed in.
"Can we get to the explanation on how you met her Percy? Maybe we can make sense of this mess if we start from there." The goddess of matrimony said.
"So what happened was..." The demigod explains as he remembers the events earlier.
The teen ran towards the direction where he heard the scream. It led him to an alleyway where a young girl was cornered by a group of hellhounds.
'Forgive me for this Uncle Hades, but your dogs need to have some disciplining.' The demigod thought as he sprang to action. Brandishing his trusty pen, he uncapped it as he took a preemptive swing towards one of the hellhounds.
The hound who was hit by the sword could only whimper as it disappeared and left dust in its wake. The other hellhounds all looked at the intruder as Percy counted the number of enemies. 'Six hellhounds. This would be easy to deal with if I'm not in an alleyway.' Thought the teen as one of the hellhounds decided to lunge at him. Dodging by rolling to his left, the teen had to dodge once more as the other hounds decided to attack. Percy swung at the incoming hellhound, who had no time dodge as it cannot change its trajectory. It turned to dust as the demigod blocked another hellhound with a water wall. 'Five left.' thought the teen as he swiped his sword leftward and it hit once more, turning another hellhound into dust. With four hellhounds left to deal with, Percy decided to group them up using his hydrokinesis. With the four hounds floating in one giant bubble, they could only paddle with their legs helplessly as the son of Poseidon readied himself. Dispersing the bubble, Percy swung to the right with a huge arc, hitting all four hellhounds as they all turned to dust.
The son of Poseidon approached the scared girl. "Are you okay?" Asked the teen towards the young girl. "Are you hurt somewhere?" He questioned as he inspected for any wounds that the girl might have. "What's your name?"
"Ella." The girl muttered weakly.
Unbeknownst to the demigod, there were eight hellhounds that was terrorizing the girl. He only banished seven. The last hellhound hid in the shadows, and waited for the demigod to lower his guard before attacking. The demigod didn't have any time to react, and hoped that the hellhound wouldn't hurt him that much.
It wasn't able to connect its attack as it cried weakly before turning to dust. Surprised about the turn of events, the teen scanned the area and saw another person. "Don't turn your back towards enemies." Said the person as it walked closer to him.
"Well it was hiding in the shadows. I thought I was already done." Argued Percy.
"Not that it matters, its already dead anyway." The demigod noticed that it was a girl. She has a long, jet-black hair, and was wearing a blue hoodie and jeans. The most noticeable feature the woman had was the sea green eyes that reflected his own. "So, are you hurt?" The girl asked.
"I could've." Replied the son of Poseidon. "Thanks, ugh..."
"No problem! My name is Olivia." The girl did a thumbs up and smiled at him. "Glad to help!"
Percy turned his attention to Ella once more. "Do you have somewhere to go?" The girl shook her head.
"My dad doesn't want me anymore. He said that my mom hates me and left because she hates me." The demigod heard sniffs as he observed that the girl was tearing up.
"What is the name of your mother?"
"I remember my dad said: Afro something? I don't really remember anything other than that."
"It's Aphrodite, isn't it?" The woman who help the demigod questioned. Ella heard it and nodded furiously. "It is! That's what daddy used to say!"
"I have a place in mind about where to take you. But you'll have to answer my question." The son of Poseidon questioned as turned to look at the young girl. "Did your dad hurt you? Is he mean?"
After hearing the question, the girl turned sad and her eyes began to water. "Yeah. Dad was sweet to me until I reached seven. After that he became mean and would spank me whenever I do something wrong." She started to sniff once more.
"Alright, I already know where I'm taking you." The teen said as he gave the girl headpats, which made her calm down. "Do you know the Greek Mythology?" The girl nodded. "That wasn't a myth. It is real." Percy then prayed. 'Hermes, if you're listening, please show up to where I am. I need your help.'
He didn't even finished as the messenger god appeared before them. "Sup Perce! You rarely call for me so I assumed this is important."
"That was cool!" Ella said in amazement. "He just appeared out of thin air!"
"Whose child is this?" The god of thieves questioned. "I sense that she's not mine."
"Aphrodite." Replied Percy.
"Of course." The god rolled his eyes. "So, do you want me to bring her to the camp?"
"No. I have a place in mind." Replied the demigod as the god's face paled.
"You're not thinking of going there, are you?"
"Sorry bud, but it's better for her to go to the hunt than the camp. She suffered abuse from his father." Percy explained. "Besides, Artemis is out, so you can just go in front of the hunt and drop her off."
"Alright, but you'll have to tell me where your place is." The god kneels and presents his back to Ella. "Come young girl, I'll bring you to somewhere you'll be safe." The girl piggybacked and then the god flashed.
"Hermes looked like he was scared of Artemis." The raven haired woman spoke out. "Artemis is cool though, everyone in the camp loves him."
"Of course she'll be cool, you're a girl." Replied Percy as she realized the last bit of her sentence. "Wait, did you just say "him"?" He expected for her to answer, but he wasn't prepared for what came next.
Olivia fainted. If he wasn't fast enough, she would've kissed the cement. Percy caught the unconscious lady as he sighed and ran towards his place.
"And that's how I met her." Percy finished explaining. The girls were looking at him in awe.
"I think I already know what to make of this." Hestia uttered, which made everyone look at her, waiting for her next words. "She's not from here. Specifically, she's not from our world."
"How is that possible?" Asked everybody else.
"What Hestia said is right." It was this time that Lady Chaos decided that eating cookies were boring and joined in the conversation. "There are countless variations of the universe."
"That means you're me, from another world then?" The demigod questioned as his counterpart only shrugged in response.
"Didn't you guys notice that when Percy talked about Milady Artemis, she used He?" Zoe asked.
"Artemis is the god of the hunt right?" Olivia replied with a questioned.
"Well she's the goddess of the hunt here."
"I can't imagine him as a girl, no way." The daughter of Poseidon remarked.
"You don't need to." Percy said as he offered food to the goddess of the hunt, wishing that the goddess shows up on his place right now. Not even a minute later, the goddess of the hunt came in.
"Holy shit." The daughter of Poseidon mouthed. "She's hot!"
The ladies giggled at her reaction. Artemis, was confused. "What is this about? Why ask me to come?" Said the goddess as she looked at the emerald eyed girl. "And who is she?"
"She wanted to see a female Artemis." Her former lieutenant answered. "Her name is Olivia Jackson, she's a daughter of Poseidon."
"What? I'm not a man." The goddess of the hunt replied.
"From where I came from, you are." The daughter of Poseidon remarked. "That's why I can't imagine Artemis the god of the hunt and the moon as a female."
"Well I can't imagine myself a man." Said the goddess with disgust present in her voice. "I hate them so much it makes my blood boil to imagine myself as one."
"You don't seem to hate Percy." The girls pointed out.
"W-Well he's not like the other guys. He's courageous, has a strong sense of responsibility, compassionate, and he's loyal." The goddess swiftly replied. "He's the perfect example of a man in my eyes."
"So he's the perfect boyfriend for your eyes huh?" The mother of creation commented, which made the goddess turn gold as the girl giggled at her plight.
"He's not!" The silver eyed goddess exclaimed as she refuted the primordial's words. "I'm just saying that he's an exemplary man and that every man should be like him!"
"Relax, I'm just messing with you." Chaos said as she went back to eating cookies.
"So..." Artemis started to speak as she recovered. "We have someone here who's from a different world. Can you tell us how it's like?" She asked the still towel clad lady.
"Maybe we could compare what's different!" Hestia said as she hurriedly sat down the sofa. "Oh, don't forget to wear some clothes first."
The daughter of Poseidon quickly changed to her clothes.
Once the emerald eyed lady was done, they all sat down the large sofa as the daughter of Poseidon started speaking. "So, what do you guys want to know?" She asked as it was Hera who spoke first after the question.
"Besides Artemis being a man, is there someone else who's different from your world?"
The girl pouts as she thinks. "Well in my world, Zeus is hopelessly lovestruck to you, Lady Hera." Olivia answered.
"If he is, then how did Artemis and Apollo came into being?" It was Artemis who asked the question as she couldn't imagine her father not being who he is right now.
"He was drugged and assaulted by your mom." The daughter of Poseidon replied. "Hera became cold due to that. But we all know the she loves Zeus just as much, if not more."
"How about me?" Hestia asked.
"Not much different?" Olivia responded with a question. "You're still the sweet, loving, and caring aunt of everyone." Hestia smiled as she heard this.
"So, is there anything else different?" Questioned Artemis.
"Well Uncle Hades dotes on every demigod. He's the camp director of the camp. Dionysus is busy being the therapist of the gods. Athena is shy around demigods and has this geeky girl attitude when you first meet her."
"Athena being shy? I couldn't imagine it." The goddess of matrimony responds.
"How's Mom?" Percy asked the question. "And is blue cookies your favorite by chance?"
"How'd you know?!" The female counterpart of Percy was shocked. "Mom is still Mom, she's like Aunt Hestia."
"Guess there are things that are still the same huh?" The demigod remarks as the two of them laughs.
The interview session continued until midnight, when everyone felt tired and went to bed. Percy was walking outside and looking at the river.
"So you're here huh?" He heard the familiar voice of Zoe as she stood beside him. "I went to your room but I couldn't find you."
"I just couldn't sleep yet." Came the reply of the teen.
"Why? Something on your mind?"
"It's Olivia."
"Woah, you just met her and she's already on your mind? Looks like I'm gonna have to share you with three people now." Zoe teased the demigod, who smiled lightly at her remark. "But seriously, what's on your mind, Perce?"
"I just feel bad for her you know?" The young man started speaking. "She's far from home. She might look strong and level headed outside, but I think she's panicking inside." Percy explains. "She's in a place where everything she knows is a bit different, and we don't even know if there's a way for her to go back home. I know that we could just talk to her about it, but we need for her to be the one that'll open up to us."
"We'll just have to ask Lady Athena's help tomorrow." The herperide responded. "She might have something that could help us with finding a way for Ollie to go back home. If not then we can ask Hecate or someone else who does."
"Ollie?" Percy asked about the nickname.
"Her name is one syllable long for my tongue. That's why I nicknamed her Ollie." The brunette answered. "Besides, I think she has a nickname or something that she'll urge us to use, knowing you."
"You have a point." The huntress giggles lightly as the teen gives her a one armed embrace. "Thanks for cheering me up Zoe."
"Can I get a cuddle on the bed for my efforts?"
"Alright. Let's go and head to bed then." Percy said as the two of them walked back to his room.
Well we all get to know who the towel clad lady was. It was a genderbent Percy from another world! I think this'll start a mini-arc where Percy and the gang finds a way for Ollie to go back to her world and the likes. Is there anyone who saw this coming?
I think it's time for me to start the wheels on the Pertemis Love Train. She's almost been the focus of the past chapters but we haven't seen anything aside from her reactions. So, probably time to start the ball rolling. Also, might be the time for Hera as well, seeing as her and Hestia already talked about their feelings but we really haven't much seen any development with her.
I think the premise of the next chapter would be: "You won't be able to sleep if it's hot, especially with those smoldering feelings of yours." Lemon hint? I dunno. Might try to fluff it up with cuddling but we'll see.
Anyway, thanks for the support! Follow and Fave if you liked it! Leave a review for your thoughts! And as always, thank you for reading!
