Roy had been at camp half blood for a month and a half already. He finally gotten used to having brothers and other family. He also gotten used to the way things worked around there.
Roy learned things that could help him with his superhero responsibilities. Like archery, hand to hand combat and keeping his scent masked away from the Greek monsters that want to eat him. That helped a lot seeing as he had blood of two gods in him.
Roy also noticed that Percy would disappear every afternoon. Then reappear a half hour before dinner. She told him that everyday she goes to Themycira to train.
She needed fighting training and training as a Royal. A thing Dianna didn't do very well and was not her strong suit.
Now he and Percy had a quest. Well a mission really. They had to get a real important and dangerous Greek artifact from Oliver's office at Queen Consolidated. The one he brought back from his island prison of Lian Yu.
For this one, all the two had to do was say they came for a visit. It was easy enough. If it wasn't for the fact that Oliver was in the precess of hiring Beryl Grace. The mother of Thalia Grace. Percy's dead turned tree cousin.
"Mr. Harper, Ms. Kent will you two wait out here? Mr. Queen is in a meeting." Oliver's secretary Annie said
Annie knew how important Roy and Percy were to her boss.
"Sure." Roy and Percy said in unison
The two demigods sat down. Roy put on his demigod glasses and picked up a sports illustrated. The swimsuit issue. They saw a kid around their age was sitting across from them.
Well Percy was the one who really saw him. Then she noticed the writing on the book he was reading. It was Roman writing. Percy vigorously tapped Roy's arm. She knew the Roman's and the Greeks didn't have a good relationship.
In fact Athena hated her Roman half because she was a Virgin and not the goddess of war and wisdom in that sector. And Minerva had envied Athena because she had something Minerva didn't. Kids and the war and wisdom titles.
Percy knew this too. She had met Minerva during winter break right before Christmas. She had told Percy how she hated the people who took her titles away. Athena and Minerva knew those things about each other.
Athena and Minerva said so.
"Roy!" Percy said in a whisper
Roy looked up from the magazine.
"What!?" He whispered back
"That's Roman writing." Percy whispers
"Are you absolutely sure?" Roy asked whispering back
"100%." Percy whispered
"You've been paying too much attention to Chiron in class last year." Roy whispers to his friend
"I had him as a teacher for two years in a row. He rubs off on you after that long." Percy whispers
Soon the two start a whisper argument. Percy wanted to slap or punch the boy in front of her. The boy across from them looked up from his book. He looked to the people in front of him. It was a bit amusing to him.
"Are you two done arguing? Because if you're not, I can leave." The boy said
"Sorry. My cousin here is a weirdo." Roy said
Percy gasps and dramatically puts her hand over her heart. She was acting like what Roy had said to the boy in front of them had hurt her. But it hadn't. That was Percy and Roy's thing. They acted like things they said hurt.
"How rude." Percy said
"Oh, stop being so dramatic. Leave that to the actual drama queen." Roy said
Thunder erupted at the insult.
"I'm Jason Grace by the way." He said
This made Percy realize that the boy in front of her is related to her dead cousin that got turned into a tree by her father.
"I'm Persephone Kent. But if you call me Persephone I'll kill you slowly and painfully. You hear me?" Percy said
Percy's eyes turned dark. Dark like the ocean during a storm. Jason nodded his head.
"So what do I call you exactly?" Jason asked
"Percy. Just Percy." Percy said
"And I'm Roy Harper." Roy said
The three talked till Oliver came out with a woman.
"Thank you Beryl. We'll be in contact soon." Oliver said
"Okay Mr. Queen. Thank you." Beryl said
They shook hands. When Oliver walked Beryl to her son, he saw Roy and Percy sitting there. They smiled and waved to Oliver nervously.
"Hi Uncle Ollie." Percy said
Jason looked shocked. He had no idea he was talking to the niece of Oliver Queen.
"You two with me now." Oliver said to the two demigods
Roy and Percy followed Oliver into the large office. Roy sat on the couch that resided near the floor to ceiling windows. Percy still stood. She wanted to stand her ground like she was taught by Antiope and Hippolyta over the past several weeks on Themycria.
"Why are you two here?" Oliver asked
"Chiron said you have an important and dangerous Greek artifact that you brought back from Lian Yu. And we need to take it back to camp." Percy said
Oliver looked to his goddaughter.
"Is it cursed or something?" Oliver asked
"Chiron said that this spear was given to Gaia by the creator. Her father Chaos to help protect the earth she was instructed to govern. And in the wrong hands, it will curse the holder. In the right hands, it will bless the holder." Percy said
He then retrieved the item in question. Like Percy had said, if was a spear that brought over by Fryer.
"How does it bless people?" Oliver asked
"Uncle Zeus said it will bless someone if they use it to protect their loved ones." Percy said
"How does he know?" Roy asked
"It's said that my birth father, Poseidon, had used it to protect Aunt Hera, Aunt Hestia, Aunt Demeter and Grandma Rheia from Kronos. So it blessed him with a daughter that looked a lot like his beloved mother." Percy said
"And said daughter that is thoughtful, kind, generous, beautiful, sweet and a pure lady." Oliver said
"I'm also a bitch when angered. And doesn't forgive all that easily." Percy said
"From what I heard from Dianna and Hera, Rheia was the same way." Oliver said
Oliver handed Percy the spear. It buzzed in her hand. It was like it had accepted her as its owner. There was a flash behind Percy.
"It has accepted you as its owner." An unfamiliar voice said
They all turned to the woman. She had hair as black as Percy's, the same sea green eyes as Poseidon's. She was wearing a multi colored Chiton with gold and jeweled edges and a leather jeweled belt. She was also wearing a light rose pink shawl that was draped over her head and shoulders.
This somewhat reminded Percy of Hera if she inherited the personality and clothing style of Persephone, Hestia and Aphrodite.
"Who are you?" Percy asked
"I am Rheia. And I'm your grandmother Persephone." She said
"What are you here?" Percy asked
"To help you. There is a prophecy. And it concerns children of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. And the children of their Roman counterparts." Rheia said
"Besides me, who is on the list?" Percy asked
"Jason Grace Son of Jupiter, Niccolo Di Angelo Son of Hades, Bianca Di Angelo Daughter of Hades and Thalia Grace Daughter of Zeus. If she gets resurrected. Oh, and I should not leave out Hazel Levesque Daughter of Pluto." Rheia said
"Before, why did you say your mothers spear accepted me as its new owner?" Percy asked
"It needs a owner. And the spear of Gaia is a thing that does not do well on its own. The creator did not design it like that." Rheia said
Roy and Percy went back to camp. Percy told Chiron what Rheia had told her.
