Percy has lost almost everything and finds himself in a new universe. He's not alone though, and he's definitely not he same as he was before... Eventual PercyxRaven

11. Chapter 11

Percy POV

I sat next to Tyson at the kitchen bar, lazily nibbling on some cookies in my party hat. in the background could be heard a furious debate between my team and Wonder Woman.

"It just isn't fair!" Wally exclaimed, loudly "You can't at least call ahead or something?"

The Amazon stood firmly with her hands on her hips, "I do not decide when he is summoned, the gods do. I am merely enacting their will." She shot me an apologetic look, "If I had known you would be in the middle of a celebration I would have tried to come later."

I shrugged, "Don't sweat it. I'm used to it. My sixteenth birthday was spent fighting a war for the gods, I know how pushy they can be."

She only nodded, but the others still weren't' happy.

I was especially surprised when M'gann spoke up against the leaguer, She kept her voice barely below a yell "Do you have any idea what Percy's been through?"

Wonder Woman frowned, "I have a general idea."

"Then you should know that he deserves to have a day to celebrate his birthday," Robin growled, "Tell me, does Batman know you're here right now?"

The Amazon huffed in annoyance, "No. Why should he? This doesn't concern him."

Robin smirked before bringing a communication deice up from behind his back, "Well he does now."

For a moment, here was a flicker of concern in Diana's eyes. A moment later, the notification sounded, "RECOGNIZED: BATMAN"

I was surprised he got here so quickly. He must have been having a slow day. He strode forward with purpose, before stopping as he saw the situation. he looked at Robin curiously, "Why did you contact me? There doesn't seem to be a threat."

Robin rolled his eyes before pointing at Diana, "She's trying to crash Percy's party by dragging him to Themyscira!"

Batman stared at his protégé for like five minutes before rubbing his forehead, "I think I need to reeducate you on what consists of an "emergency"."

"Indeed," Diana agreed, "I'm sorry you were brought into this Batman. I don't suppose you could help me convince them to stop being so troublesome?"

He glanced over at her "I know you Amazons don't really celebrate Birthdays, but do you think he could at least have this day? God knowns he deserves it."

Everyone in the room looked at Batman in surprise, not expecting the coldest member of the League to come to their aid, while Robin only smirked triumphantly.

Diana looked at her Teammate in bewilderment, before sighing "God may know that, but the gods do not. They expect me to bring him forth by noon. It is not my place to change their minds."

I chuckled at that, causing Batman to look at me, "You don't seem overly disappointed."

Artemis huffed, "Yeah what's up with that? We're trying to help you and you're just sitting there.

I smiled without joy, "Oh trust me, I am. Like I said before, I'm just used to it by now. I do wish I could hang out with the others more though, before I get potentially smited."

That caused everyone in the room to tense up, before Raven asked, "You think they'll kill you?"

I shrugged, "They might try. The gods of my world contemplated killing me on more than one occasion, and a couple even tried. If worst comes to worse it could turn into a fight, in which case…"

Diana RAISED AN EYBROW NOW, "You dare to think you could challenge a god of Olympus?"

I rolled my eyes, "Maybe? It's been a while but I've fought some pretty strong enemies in my time and killed a few. Plus, I'm not even sure if they can kill me. though they might find some other way to mess with me…" Tyson HUMMED SADLY BESIDE ME, KNOWING I WAS RIGHT, "….we'll just have to see."

At that even Diana was a bit disturbed, now finding it difficult to look at me. it was silent until Kaldur finally spoke up, "Perhaps… we could come with you?"

"NO." Both leaguers stated firmly, but no one seemed to acknowledge them.

"That's a great idea!" , M'gann exclaimed, "We can bring the presents and the cake and have the party there!"

Superboy nodded "Plus we could be there to back him up in case

Wonder Woman RUBBED HER FORHEAD WITH A Sigh, "Not happening. My home isn't some resort you can go to whenever you want. Only those with an invitation can come, and only Percy has one out of all of you. Now, Perseus, can we please go now?"

To be honest, I might have said yes, cause i could understand the problems I was making, but then she had to ruin it by calling me Perseus, I told them not to call me that in private. "Actually, I like their idea. If they don't go i don't go."

That elicited a round of slightly stifled cheers and some strained expressions from the older Heroes. "Percy, be reasonable?"

"Na, it's my birthday so I don't have to." I responded, knowing full well I was being a bit bratty but not caring in the slightest. I let the gods walk all over me in my last world, I want this one to be different. Sue me.

Diana glared at me, "I can't simply invite whoever I want to my home! I have to consult my mother first!

I shrugged, "I'm sure she'll understand when she learns I forced you to. Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for it.

She calmed down a bit, but still seemed unhappy. She glanced at my friends, before settling on Raven, who was the quietest of the group, "I more or less know most of you, but she's entirely new, and not even you know her origin. You expect me to bring someone like that to my sacred island?"

I nodded, not even blinking, "Yep."

Raven sighed, "Percy, it's fine I can just stay behind and— "

"Nope." I cut her off, not breaking eye contact with the Amazon. I knew she was the one to convince, Batman had no real say in the matter, and he's learned by now that his bat glares don't work on me. "Tell me Diana, what will the Gods think when you come back empty handed?"

She paled a bit at that and I knew I had her. She gave a heavy sigh, causing Batman to look at her in irritation, "Diana, you know this is— "

"My only option." She looked at him irritated. "I have no choice."

He stared at her for a few moments, before relenting, "Fine. But will you come with me for a moment so we can discuss how you will deal with that in private?"

She nodded immediately, and followed them towards the portal. She looked back at me with narrowed eyes, "I will return very soon Perseus, your teammates may accompany you, but as price for that, we will not only bring you before the gods but assess you."

I raised an eyebrow, "Assess? Like a test?"

She chuckled, "Indeed, you will be put throuh the trials all of our warriors must complete before she can be considered a true Amazon. I hope you are ready."

I could only smirk, "Bring it on."

The trip to Themyscira was more or less uneventful. Apparently, the Amazons didn't have a teleporter room, so we had to fly there. Wonder Woman led the way, flying somehow on her own power. I followed close behind on Blackjack. I was curious if Diana would have anything to say when I summoned the pegasus, but she simply hummed with slight interest before flying away. Mrs. O'Leary was not at all happy that we were leaving her behind, but I wasn't too worried. I intended to try and summon her when we arrived, it would be a good test to see if my control over her worked over long distances, plus it would be a good way to tick the amazons off. Oh gods…. I really am an infuriating entity, aren't I? no wonder everyone wanted to kill me.

M'gann flew the others on her ship, though when she asked Raven to board, she refused, deciding to fly next to me with her own power instead. It was a bit strange to see her flying in her normal clothes however, as she normally had her cloak billowing behind her.

Once we were well into the journey, flying over the ocean to wherever the island was, I guided Blackjack closer next to the cloaked girl, "Hey."

She glanced at me impassively, "Hey.'

"Why didn't you want to ride in the ship? Doesn't this require energy or something?"

She shrugged, "Not a lot?"

"It's still more than if you would just sit in the ship. You don't have to be a loner all the time you know?"

She rolled her eyes, "It's not that. After what happened, emotions are running pretty high right now. It would be a bit unpleasant for me."

I raised an eyebrow, "I thought you've learned to deal with that. Moreover, how am I any better in that regard?"

She looked at me in surprise, before quickly explaining, "It's… easier to block out one person than multiple people, no matter the… intensity of the emotion."

I hummed, not at all convinced, but I knew better than to keep pushing. Instead I asked, "Any more progress with Mrs. O'Leary?"

She seemed to consider for a moment before answering "Yes actually. It's about the connection between her in your blood."

I looked at her with interest. "Really?"

She nodded, "Yes. It seems that she was… Uniquely suited to take the blood into herself, it's why she survived for as long as she did. If a regular creature was injected with it, they would have been filled with uncontrollable energy that would kill them in a matter of days."

I looked at her cautiously, "And you know that through…"

She scoffed, "Reasoning and deduction of course. I wouldn't experiment on innocent animals for research, and I definitely wouldn't do anything like that with your blood without consent. Anyways, the point is that it's like she was made to take the stress. The way her soul and body are one in the same seems to make her stronger than any being with them separated, like a… resonating effect. It's not a perfect description, but the best I can do." She then furrowed her brows before seemingly deciding to add, "You're the same way."

I looked at her in surprise, "What?"

"You're soul and body, they're the same. "

I took a moment to process that. It hadn't really surprised me as much with Mrs. O'Leary, it was well known that monsters like her didn't have a "soul" per say. If her body and soul was the same, it made sense that both went to reform in Tartarus, instead of leaving behind a full corpse. Now that I think about it… if all gods are the same it makes sense that they reform too…. But I knew that they could be in two places at once like when Dionysus visited me while his body was knocked out for the fight with Typhon, though he referred to it as his consciousness

I found myself staring at the ocean beneath us as I sorted all of this out, before I asked," if she was suited for it, why was it killing her?"

"That's the thing. She had the ability to handle the ichor, but I think there is a very specific way she was supposed to receive it. Maybe a ritual, or spell."

My eyes widened, "Do you think if we found out what it was that she wouldn't need the collar?"

She nodded, "Most likely. However, the answer lies in your world, and you don't seem to know what it is."

I slumped back on Blackjack's back, groaning, "SO we have to start from scratch huh?"

"Sadly yes. Though I hope you let me know if you can think of anything."

I nodded, before asking, "By the way, how are you with replacing the belt you gave Mrs. O'Leary?"

She seemed surprised I asked this, "Oh… well really there's nothing stopping me from getting it. I'm just…."

"Not looking forward to it?" I guessed, earning a stiff nod from her. "You said it was unpleasant, are you ever going to tell me why?"

She said nothing, indicating that the answer was no. I sighed but wasn't too surprised. "Alright, fine. Just let me know if you get tired of flying, you can hop on the back of Blackjack."

Uh… what?

"You heard me." I told the pegasus sternly, while Raven simply looked on.

After a couple more hours of flying, Raven eventually did take a rest on Blackjack. Apparently, she wasn't used to flying at such high speeds for long periods of time, like Wonder Woman and Blackjack. She sat sideways on his back behind me, princess style, while occasionally gripping my shoulder with one hand to steady herself. It surprised me at first but then I ran the image of her straddling the horses behind me through my head and decided it didn't fit her at all.

A few hours after that Diana finally spoke to us. I imagined she had been silently fuming at me for making her job harder, but when she looked back, I saw she had calmed down a bit, "Prepare to land."

Blackjack whinnied uncertainly, On WHAT? there's nothing but ocean in front of us!

He was proven wrong however, as suddenly a large island seemingly appeared out of nowhere as we passed through some kind of magical boundary, reminding me of the one surrounding camp Half Blood. I wondered if it was created the same way, but most of my attention was focused on the island.

It was beautiful to say the least. I was again reminded of Camp Half Blood, due to the lush green Forests, and outstanding scenery. The island had several small mountains jutting up from it, in the middle of which sat a golden city.

Okay maybe it wasn't golden but it might as well have been. For a moment, I thought I was looking at Olympus, due to the pristine white marble wherever you looked, the beautifully crafted Greek architecture gave it an aura of power.

I whistled softly as I looked at it, "Annabeth would have loved this."

"I'm sure she would have," Diana agreed smugly, before asking "Was she an acquaintance of yours in your world?"

I nodded, "She was my best friend. She was a daughter of Athena, real architecture nut."

I looked up and noticed Diana looking at me uncertainly, "What?"

""Daughter of Athena"? how could such a thing exist? Athena is an eternal maiden, she would never break her oath."

I nodded, "And she didn't. children of Athena are born similar to how she was, through the mind. She does this weird meeting of the minds thing with whoever she admires intellectually, and a few days later the children appear on the persons doorstep."

Diana had a strange look on her face, as if not sure whether to be impressed or horrified. Behind me however I heard Raven hum in interest, "That's pretty cool, I wonder how that works. Do they have belly buttons?"

I felt my sweat drop, "They get asked that a lot. I'm not sure how it works, but I can tell you with certainty that Annabeth did have a belly button."

"Did?" Raven questioned cautiously, while Diana had a different concern.

"How would you know that?" The tone of her voice suggested that she had a very particular idea of how I knew that.

I glared at her, "I didn't force myself on her if that's what you're thinking. Please don't tell me that you Amazons assume all men are rapists." I had enough of that from the Hunters of Artemis.

Diana still looked suspicious, "Of course not, I just think it's strange that a child of Poseidon and Athena could ever get along, considering their parents history."

I blinked, "Oh, that. Yeah, we were pretty rocky at first, but we eventually forgot about it. Who cares what our parents did? Though Athena wasn't very happy about it… Oh look we're here!"

I was relieved that we were finally landing in front of the Greek style city, as that conversation was getting a little hard to continue. Blackjack came down into a trot behind Diana, while M'gann landed her ship gracefully behind us. As Raven and I dismounted, the others trailed out of the ship with looks of awe at the scenery around them.

"Okay, I think I'm officially Whelmed." Robin muttered, while Tyson ran up to me excitedly.

"Brother! It's just like camp Half-Blood isn't?"

I nodded in agreement while the others looked confused. I was unsure of this until I realized I never really explained what it was to them. "In my World, Camp Half-Blood is a haven for Demigods where they are brought to train, under the leadership of Chiron himself."

Diana gasped, "Chiron? The legendary trainer of heroes?"

I nodded, "That's the one, horse's ass and all."

Diana scoffed at my crude joke, while the rest of my teammates let out good natured laughs, I even noticed a twitch on Ravens face.

Diana shook her head in exasperation, "in any case it is time to report to my mother. All of you should be warned, you were not expected, therefore you may be met with some hostility, especially the males. Just remain silent and let me do the talking, and Percy," she looked at me for a moment before sighing, "Just don't pick a fight please?"

I chuckled, "Relax, I know I'm giving you a hard time but I'm not a total ass.

She nodded in satisfaction, before turning and leading the way toward the gates. I looked back and noticed M'gann levitating the cake and food with her as she walked, while Tyson held the cookie containers in his arms protectively, I snorted at that but didn't say anything,

At the front gates stood two guards wearing the same type of armor that the girls at camp wore, albeit with a lot less underneath. Nevertheless, I was struck with a feeling of nostalgia, that doubled when they lowered their spears at us angrily. Never thought I'd miss Clarisse.

Diana walked forward, "Peace sisters! They are with me!"

One of the guards growled, "The Queen said only one male would be coming, who are all these people?"

Diana sighed, "It was an unfortunate necessity. I couldn't have brought him otherwise, and even the Queen would not dare defy the will of the gods."

The guards relaxed a bit at this and one looked at Diana with pity, "She still won't be happy, nor will anyone else"

The princess sighed, "No NEED TO REMIND ME. MAY WE ENTER?"

The guards nodded and moved out of the way, "Welcome to Themyscira, outsiders. Step out of line and be prepared to face the consequences.

Dina nodded gratefully and stepped through. As the others followed, I walked over to Tyson and grabbed a box of cookies, before walking up to the guards, who tensed at my approach and readied their spears.

I held the cookies above my head in surrender, "Relax, I just wanted to give you some cookies!"

The false god wishes to bribe us?" one of them asked.

I blinked, "What?"

The other snarled, "Do you really think a simple offering of food will make up for masquerading as a god? Such an offense is punishable by death!"

I STARED AT TEHM FOR A MOMENT, before rolling my eyes and setting the cookies on the ground, "Whatever, just eat them if you want, it's my birthday so I'm in a giving mood. Plus, I know how much guard duty sucks."

With that I simply walked away, ignoring their confused stares and whispers as I walked up to the rest of the group. "Well I think I have a pretty good idea of how today is going to go now…."

Diana looked back, "Don't blame them Percy, it's only natural for them to be offended. How do you think the Christians would feel if I declared myself one of their angels?"

"I'm pretty sure most would believe you…" Robin mumbled before speaking louder, "Still, if that's how just the gate sentry's look, I can't imagine what the rest of them will be like, right Wally?" He elbowed the speedster lightly at that, only for the redhead to look at him in confusion,

"what? Oh! Y-yeah, really looking forward to it!"

The others were not convinced, Artemis in particular looked at him suspiciously, "Come on Wally, I'm fairly certain this is a dream you've had. An entire island populated by gorgeous women! Aren't you excited!"

He shrugged, before rubbing the back of his neck, "I guess? I don't know what else you want me to say though..."

"I believe we are all expecting you to flirt with them in some way," Kaldur spoke up, stating what we were all thinking.

Wally chuckled nervously, "Yeah… I don't think they'd appreciate that very much…. Them or any other girl."

With that the speedster fell silent, and we stopped bugging him, though by the looks I was getting from Artemis and Robin, I would be expected to deal with that later. I couldn't help but agree, I might have messed something up when I called out Wally at the Tower.

For the moment however, I was busy admiring the city we were walking through, while also ignoring the looks we were getting from the residents. Like Artemis said, the island was populated by exclusively attractive women, none below their late teens. They were either dressed in Greek chitons like what Hera usually wore when I saw her, only less flashy and with less feathers, or outfitted in armor of varying types. I was interested to see that their armor occasionally went a step farther than what we had a t camp, with their unique designs, and extra armor pieces. I had assumed Diana's outfit was specifically made to fit the super hero theme, but it seemed that that's how everyone dresses around here. I noticed Tyson admiring them as well, but sparingly, as any who caught him looking grew angry.

Of all the glares pointed at us, I would say half were pointed at me, while the other half was split between Tyson and the rest of the team. I had anticipated this however, and had talked about t it with him before hand, so he was doing a pretty good job of ignoring, but just barely,

We weren't the only one admiring their surroundings however, . M'gann was staring at the clothing and armor in awe, likely taking notes for her "fashion journal" where she took notes on earths clothing habits. Artemis on the other hand, was looking at the weapons they carried in approval, and a bit of envy. I was surprised to see that Robin, Kaldur, and even Superboy, were getting a couple pink tints to their faces at being surrounded by so many beautiful women, while Wally simply trudged forward with his head down. yeah, something was definitely wrong there. Raven was quiet as always, but I was certain she was scanning her surroundings eagerly.

We soon started to see a massive building that stood out `among the rest. It appeared to be an enormous temple, reminding me of the throne room on Olympus, but a bit smaller and more intricately designed, if such a thing were possible.

We all stared up at it in awe, "Okay, that's impressive." I state.

"The design is outstanding!" Tyson shouted, before apologizing to the people around us who all grew tense at his voice, He then whisper-yelled at us, "I don't think I've ever seen anything like it!"

"If Tyson thinks it's good then it must be pretty advanced," Robin commented, "How does anyone get this good at anything?"

Diana smirked, "Simple: centuries of practice. The amazons residing on this island have been around for nearly three millennia! As long as they remain on this island, they have no need for food or water, and they will never age past their prime."

Raven whistled in awe, "That's incredibly strong magic."

Diana nodded proudly, "it Is a blessing from one of our patron gods Demeter."

I blinked, "I guess that makes sense… you said one of, who else are your patrons."

Diana walked forward, while we followed and listened, "The Amazon race was first created when the goddesses, Demeter, Athena, Hestia, and Aphrodite reincarnated several hundred women who had been killed under the abusive hands of man. In reurn we remain their faithful servants."

That put a look of awe on the teams faces, but I was only curious, "Exactly how many were first reincarnated?"

Diana looked at me in confusion, "Several hundred, as I just said. Why?"

I gestured around us, "Seems like there are at least several thousand women here. How did that number grow?"

The princess blinked, "In the past there have been excursions to the outside world, before my time. Many women who suffered under the tyranny of man were brought back for safe haven."

I nodded thoughtfully. I still had a weird feeling but I decided to drop it for now. "Alright. Are we going to see the gods now?"

Diana looked at me as if I were crazy, "Of course not. The gods wouldn't arrive in person for something like this, we will go before my mother, who can communicate with the gods through her throne at the grand temple. She will hear your story and be told by the gods where we will go from there."

I nodded and gestured for her to lead the way.

As we made our way up the steps of the temple, Kaldur spoke up, "I wonder, is it alright that we are to participate in this?"

I glanced back at him, only to notice nervous looks on his and every other teammate's face, or at least those who regularly showed emotion. I simply grinned at them, "Relax guys, gods aren't hard to deal with. Just stroke their ego to keep them happy and they probably won't obliterate you."

That didn't seem to calm them, but it wasn't meant to. They needed to be cautious. As did I.

Diana threw open the front door to reveal a room that instantly caused me to sneer. It was set up like the Throne Room, only instead of thrones, giant statues of each gods symbolic animal stood tall. At the center stood Zeus' eagle, with wings stretching over a large throne, where a beautiful dark-haired woman sat, looking to be just a few years older than Diana. In the middle of the room sat a large brazier, tended to by a young girl, which caused me to smirk, but I held my tongue for now. I was bit confused when Diana knelt before the woman who looked to be only a few years her elder, "Mother."

If the queen had any sort of motherly affection for the heroine, she sure didn't show it now, only cold disdain as she surveyed the assortment of newcomers behind her. "What happened to only bringing the boy? I don't remember giving permission for you to bring multiple newcomers."

Diana flinched and opened her mouth to speak but I beat her to it, "That's more my fault actually. I wouldn't go with her unless they came along."

She looked at me carefully, as if assessing my every strength and flaw. It reminded me of Reyna a little bit, only scarier. "Are you so childish that you can't go anywhere without a flock of people to hold your hand?"

I felt my friends behind me grow tense at eth obvious verbal jab, but I simply held my hand up to tell them to calm down. "Actually, today the answer is yes. I hate spending birthdays alone. I'm also not exactly prideful, if that was what you were hoping for."

I stared down the queen as she raised an eyebrow, "Clearly… So you are Perseus Jackson?"

I waved her off, "Just Percy is fine."

She leaned back in her chair, "Tell me Perseus, what exactly leads you to believe that you stand on the same level as the Olympian gods?"

I rolled my eyes before looking back at my friends, "This is why I wasn't looking forward to this."

Only Superboy was bold enough to speak up, "Makes sense."

I turned back to the queen whose eye was twitching a bit, "As for your question, I never once said that I was on their level. I can tell you for certain that I'm not, at least with the gods of my world. It's probably the same with yours but I haven't met any of them to tell."

She hummed with interest, "Yet you still claim to be divine?"

I blinked, "Maybe?" I pulled out Riptide and uncapped it, causing both Diana and the queen to jump, while I felt my friends get into ready stances. I quickly raised my hands in the air, "Relax! I'm not attacking, just showing you something!"

The Queen looked down at me with great caution, "Where did you summon it from?"

I stared at her blankly, "My pocket… were you not watching or…." When the Queen didn't move I sighed, "Whatever, just look."

I ran the blade over my hand, causing most to flinch while I barely felt it, before holding my hand up to reveal the golden ichor dripping down my hand. When the queen saw this she leaned forward with interest, before stepping down from her throne and walking forward to get a closer look.

I let her approach, with an amused smirk as Diana got out of her way with a stunned expression. She narrowed her eyes at the golden liquid, reaching out a to poke it a bit, before I closed my hands into a fist, "A-A-A! no touching.

She quickly straightened herself up and looked at me with an unimpressed expression, "What is that supposed to prove?"

I blinked, "Uh…."

She turned on her heel and went back to her throne while explaining, "I am aware that the myths of the gods, existing in the outside world include the mention of golden blood running through the gods veins, but in fact that is one of the few things that are actually a myth."

I LOOKED AT HER in surprise, "So your gods don't bleed ichor?"

She looked at me in pity, "They are gods Perseus, they do not bleed at all. Though you seem quite sure of the fact that the gods of your universe do. Why is that?"

I shrugged, "Mostly because when I cut one they bled gold."

That caused the room to fall silent, before it was filled with a low very humorless chuckle, emanating from the Queen herself, "You really are a bold one."

I raised an eyebrow, "How do you figure?"

She stopped chuckling and full on glared at me. "You force your friends onto our island, like you own the place. You all then proceed to not show the proper respect to the island by not bowing. And now you spout a string of lies, and expect us to believe that you went into combat with an god and survived, even drawing blood. My patience has been tried to it's very end. Guards!"

I sighed as a lien of warriors sprinted into the room with spears at the ready, trying to surround me, only for my friends to take up defensive positons around me. The warriors stepped back a bit when Tyson grew to his giant form and bellowed at them.

"By the gods…." One of them muttered.

"A cyclops! Another shouted, "Kill the monster!"

That was when I had enough. I raised a foot, charging earthquake energy into it as I did so, before bringing it down forcefully, sending a shockwave through the building, and likely the whole island, that put everyone standing up on their ass, except from Raven, M'gann, and Diana, who simply floated up.

I winced at my fallen teammates, "Sorry guys."

Wally groaned, "You could have warned us!"

I laughed weakly, "Maybe. I was just focused getting everyone to CHILL THE FUCK OUT!" I shifted my volume and tone to the one I had developed after years of leadership and combat, causing even the Queen to flinch as her warriors tried to get to their feet.

I turned to her first, "You know, you're so quick to judge me as a liar, tell me have you ever fought a god?"

She snarled and held her head high, "I have survived battle with Ares, the God of War on multiple occasions!"

I raised an eyebrow, making it clear that I wasn't impressed, although I did chuckle a bit, "Small world…" I noticed the majority of the soldiers on their feet, I looked at the queen, "Tell them to stand down or my next step will bring your entire island down."

The woman didn't budge, "You couldn't possibly—"

"WHAT?!" Diana exclaimed fearfully, "Percy you can't! this island is filled with innocent women as well as warriors!"

"Do you think maybe you're overreacting?" Aqualad asked nervously, looking back from his defensive positon.

A few more voiced their worry, but I ignored them all and continued staring at the queen as she began to realize what was happening "You get don't you? they all know deep down that I can do it. They've all seen my power when I lose control. Even I don't know how much damage I can do if I put my mind to it, but I can tell you an island such as this wouldn't stand a chance. I've destroyed volcanoes from the inside, and that was when I was younger, weaker, more naïve. And yes I may be bluffing, but tell me: do you really want to take the chance?"

Evidently she didn't, a moment later she called out, "Stand down."

The soldiers stood straight instantly, before making their way out of the room, once again leaving us alone.

The queen glared at me once more, "Now, what do you want?"

I blinked, "Mostly for your guards to stoop pointing weapons at my friends. Thanks for that. Now though, I want to know your name, as I'm tired of only knowing you as Queen."

The queen's eyes widened and her next words were actually a bit wavering, "I am…. Hippolyta."

I nodded in satisfaction. "All right Queen Hippolyta. I hope you can forgive me for my threats, but I have spent years being chased, attacked, and walked all over by the beings of my universe. It will not be the same here. That being said, I'm perfectly fine to go to your trial thingy," ignored the looks of disbelief. "But before that, I have one more question for you.'

Hippolyta, now thoroughly shaken and confused nodded, "Alright, what is it?"

I smiled, before walking out of the circle my friends had created, patting Tyson's leg to tell him to calm down. he instantly shrunk down though he was so confused as the others until he saw where I was going.

I walked until I was standing at the brazier, where the girl tended the fire I turned back to Hippolyta "Would you say you are close with the gods?"

She straightened u, "Of course, as queen I am the voice they use to command Themyscira."

I nodded, "Well if that's the case, how is it that you don't recognize one sitting right in front of you?" at this the girl looked up at me in surprise

"What are you talking about?" Diana asked, "That's just the girl who tends the hearth. She's been there for centuries, if I'm not mistaken."

"You are not," the queen assured her daughter.

I smirked, "Didn't you say the amazons stop aging at their prime? Why would she stop at 10 years old?"

The two Amazons shook their heads in confusion, apparently having a hard time trying to process this, while M'gann spoke up behind me, "Percy… somethings different about her…"

I SMILED AT THE YOUGN GIRL. "I know." I then got down in a kneeling stance in front of the girl, showing respect to the one goddess I believed to deserve it, "I'm glad that the first one I met is you, Lady Hestia."

The girl looked at me for a moment, before smiling, as two flames lit up in her pupils. "Impressive, tell me, how did you recognize me?"

I smirked, "The Hestia in my universe had the same trick." As I explained this, the girl stood up and began to grow taller, older, and her clothes shifted into a beautiful, somehow smoldering robe.

She looked past me, "Well I'm surprised to see you and your friends know respect while my own Amazons do not."

I looked back to see my team following my lead, kneeling down behind me, albeit reluctantly for a few, while Diana and Hippolyta were staring at the goddess in shock, before realizing what was happening and dropping to their knees, and lowering their heads,

"Our deepest apologizes my Lady!" Hippolyta exclaimed, "We meant no disrespect! We only—"

Hestia waved her off, "Oh relax, I won't smite you for being surprised."

That caused the Amazons to sigh in relief though they remained kneeling, while I gestured for my teammates to join me in standing up, to which they complied. Hestia raised an eyebrow, "So, "nephew", is this your way of saying you find yourself on the level of an Olympian?"

I smirked, "Of course not. Especially not you, if you are anything like my Hestia, you are the kindest, most compassionate of the Olympians, as well as the oldest and presumably most powerful. I am well aware we are not on the same level, but I have decided to never again bow to someone on the basis of strength, but of respect. I bowed to you, both out of respect for my Hestia and to make a good first impression, but until I'm sure you, or any of the gods of this universe deserve it, I will remain."

Hestia stared at me for a moment, before slowly growing a smile, "Very well. I see I cannot sway you in this, and honestly it doesn't mean very much to me. just have caution with the rest of Olympus, they may not be as understanding."

I rolled my eyes, "I bet…"

Suddenly Hippolyta's voice spoke up again, "M-m-my lady?! How can such blasphemy be acceptable?"

Hestia chuckled, "Because I say at is, and as far as you are concerned that makes it not blasphemous." Hippolyta had no retort for that, so Hestia turned to her daughter, "Diana, I sense something is on your mind."

The heroine flinched as her name was called, before gathering her courage and asking, "H-how is it that we never notice your presence? And more so why were you there? You are always welcome on Themyscira of course, but if we had known we could have made you more comfortable."

Hestia nodded, "All good questions. Truthfully, I am never more comfortable than when tending to the hearth, but I know you would have tried anyway, I didn't want to trouble you all, but I felt the need to keep an eye on the affairs of the wielder of my lasso. As for how you didn't notice, you are all not to blame. It is an easy trick for us gods to exude magic to turn away your attention. No one has ever been immune, until Perseus here." She looked at me with interest.

I was interested in this as well, "It sounds like the Mist to me."

The women and goddess looked at me in confusion, before Hestia asked, "I don't see how condensation has to do with this."

I shook my head, "No I mean capital M mist. It is a veil of magic hanging over the whole world, managed by the goddess Hecate." I noticed a twitch in Diana's face at the name. "It ensures the separation of Mortals and Myth."

Hestia nodded with interest, "Go on."

I thought for a moment, "Okay, so like if a hellhound was walking down the street, the Mist would shroud it so it looked like a poodle of something."

Hestia looked confused, "Hellhound? So those exist in your world? It is only a myth here."

I lit up, "Oh yeah that reminds me!" I turned around towards a shadowy area of the room, "Mrs. O'Leary! Come!"

There was a few moments of nothing happening. I leaned over to Hestia who was now next to me, "This is my first time trying this, so I don't know if it will work."

Before the goddess could as what "this" was, the shadows twisted before spitting out a very happy hellhound. Mrs. O'Leary bounded up to me in her smaller size, jumping up to shower up my face with licks. I chuckled as I tried to keep her away, "Alright alright! Good girl!

When she was done seeing me, she turned to Hestia suspiciously, before circling and sniffing her curiously. Said goddess only watched her in amusement as he shook her head as if the smell startled her before bouncing off to see my teammates. "So that is a hellhound? Her method of transportation seems impressive, but I can hardly understand what she did to deserve such a scary name."

I smirked and turned to the hound as she was licking Superboy, "Mrs. O'Leary, normal size!"

She barked happily as Superboy looked at me furiously, "Percy you di—mmmph" He was cut off as Mrs. O'Leary's rapid size change covered him in her fur.

Hestia and the Amazons looked up at the creature in awe as she wagged happily and covered the clone in her slobber. Hestia was the first to say, "I see."

Superboy eventually wrestled her off of him, eliciting her to explore her new surroundings, much to Hippolyta's disdain, though she dared not say anything about it. I THEN NOTICED Hestia looking at my hand curiously. I realized it was the same one I had cut. I raised an eyebrow at her, causing her to chuckle nervously, "Apologies, I must say I'm curious. May I take a look?"

I winced "Yeah… no. from what I've been told it's super mysterious and powerful, not to say I don't trust you, I mean I don't, but I definitely trust the other Olympians even less."

The goddess frowned, "I see… very well, I will respect your wishes, since you have shown no sign of ill will so far. I suppose we should have your "trial" now correct?" She looked at Diana and Hippolyta expectantly.

The queen bowed immediately, "If you still find it necessary my Lady."

Hestia smiled, "It likely isn't but it couldn't hurt." She looked at me, "We will gather our Amazons in the Amphitheater and question you with my lasso. With it, you will tell no lies. If this displeases you I suggest you tell us now."

I bit my lip. I was fairly displeased by that, but I knew that if I refused it would just cause more problems. I had nothing in particular I wanted to hide, but I knew that saying everything out loud wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

With a sigh I nodded, "I'm good,"

As we waited for the event to start, I sat with my team in one of the rooms of the amphitheater. We passed the time by chowing down on the birthday cake, which was fantastic by the way, and discussing what was happening. We were seated around a table, with me absentmindedly petting Mrs. O'Leary, who was seated next to me with her head in my lap. I think she could sense what was coming, otherwise I'm certain she would be with Raven instead.

"If all the gods are like that, I have to say I don't know what your problem is," Robin commented, "Maybe the gods here are different?"

I shook my head as I held my empty plate, "Hestia was always like that. You could say she's the black sheep of the family. The other gods are a thousand times worse, even my father, though he made sure never to show it to me."

That put a bit of gloom over the room, before M'gann spoke up, "Are you sure you'll be okay? What if they… ask the wrong questions?"

Kaldur nodded in agreement, "We all know that there are… certain events in you past that you don't like discussing."

Tyson tentatively added, "I-I could go in your place brother. I am know most of what you do, if I it could spare you the pain I will gladly— "

"That's alright Tyson." I cut him off while smiling. I was tempted to take him up on that offer, but knowing him, he was likely to break down to tears before I would, just giving the secondhand account. "Really, I'm alright I've had over a month to deal with this, I'll be fine."

"No you won't," Raven spoke up, "I can feel your dread rolling off in waves."

I deflated a bit at that, cursing empathy powers in my head, "Wow just call me out why don't you?"

"Dude," Robin spoke up, "No offense but… we've seen how you get with this stuff. I'm fairly certain the whole "sink the island" thing was a bluff, but if you end up having to relive everything for real…"

"We don't want to see you hurting is the point," Kaldur said, shooting a look at robin, who simply shrugged. I heard Mrs. O'Leary y whimper up at me for emphasis.

I sighed, "I just don't see a better way guys. None of you have been to my world, M'gann has had to erase most of the memories from me for obvious reasons, and I seriously doubt they'd let Tyson take my place. From the looks of it they have Cyclopes here too, and they aren't as friendly as him. If I do lose it..."

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Superboy of all people trying to comfort me, "We'll pull you back." It would have been a really nice moment, but it was hard to take him seriously covered in in dog saliva as he was. It doesn't mean I didn't feel a warm sensation in my chest as he said those words.

I put on a smile, "Well with luck they might not ask any hard questions."

"How did you come to be in this universe?"

I felt my heart drop at those words. I was currently standing in the middle of the amphitheater, which felt more like a football stadium. In front of me sat Hippolyta and Hestia, on two thrones set up on the main stage, the goddess' be larger.

Around me in the stands sat hundreds of Amazons, and I could practically feel the hatred rolling off of them. They didn't say a word however, as they were too engrossed with the goddess among them. Apparently, many of them had never seen a god, so when Hippolyta introduced her on the stage, there were mixed responses. Some were too shocked to say a word, while others shouted their joy and admirations from the top of their lungs.

I stood in the middle where they all could see me clearly, while Diana had her lasso around my wrist. Apparently procedure called for it to go around my boy, keeping it restrained, but I quickly spoke against that Idea, and was fortunately backed up by Hestia and Diana.

Near the front of the stand stood my friends. There was an unspoken consensus that they would be as close as possible without interfering, in case they felt the need to come to my aid I suspected the Amazons only agreed because as outnumbered as we are, it would matter in the end.

I took a deep breath as the entire area was silent, waiting for my response to the question. After a moment, I responded in a loud voice, "I am not certain. However, I believe that the Fates sent me here."

That caused a lot of murmuring and suspicious looks from the crowd, something I would likely get a lot of before this was over.

Hippolyta kept a straight face for her part, and continued the questioning, as Hestia ORDEERED HER TO DO SO, "Why do you think they would do that?"

I sighed, "Well again, I'm not certain, but before I came here, I heard what I believed to be their voices stating that they were sending me away."

"Why?" Hippolyta asked again, causing me to twitch in irritation.

I took a deep breath before saying, "They seemed to… take pity on me."

As I expected, the amazons burst into thunderous laughter. I couldn't blame them, the thought that the sisters of fate would take pity on anyone was laughable, or so I thought before it happened to me.

Only my team, Diana, and Hestia didn't' laugh. Even Hippolyta cracked a smirk at this before asking, "Really? All of creation between their needles and you think they took a moment to help you? Just who do you think you are?"

I felt my face heating up, but continued to glare at her. "I think I'm someone who had a really shitty lot in life, one that I didn't deserve. Either they, or someone else must have agreed."

The laughter took a moment to die down, before Hippolyta continued, "Alright, let's take a step back. Tell us your story, Hero, and we will judge how "shitty' it is."

I blinked, "My story? You mean from the beginning?"

Hippolyta leaned back and waved her hand dismissively, "Yes, yes, just don't drone on, I can only abide wasting so much time on you "

I rolled my eyes before sifting my feet to get more comfortable, "Okay then…. It all started when I was twelve, and I vaporized my math teacher…"

I then went on to explain my first adventure, starting with that fateful encounter at the museum. As I explained everything about Zeus, his ridiculous accusation of Poseidon, and how I had to go and retrieve his stupid boom stick. With each monster story, I could tell my audience was having a hard time believing it, but I doubted any of them would dare question the validity of the Lasso, when its creator was in their presence. They could only stare in awe as I told my story.

I was interrupted a few times. Hippolyta called for Diana to check the lasso to make sure it was secured correctly, after I explained how I fought Ares and basically won at twelve years old with very little combat experience. I simply explained to them that Ares was not all he was chocked up to be, especially since he was dumb enough to challenge a son of Poseidon on a freaking beach.

I then went on to my other adventures. I even found myself getting nostalgic as I described my journey with Tyson through the Sea of Monsters beforehand I had to give a detailed explanation of the whole "gods moving to America" concept, as it was starting to confuse them when I started talking about the Bermuda triangle. A few of my friends had surprised looks when I described how I wasn't always very happy to have Tyson as a brother, while Tyson only smiled sheepishly as the Amazons kept throwing him looks of awe as I described his fight with Polyphemus, an older, more experienced Cyclops than himself.

Diana had a lot of questions when I talked about Thalia, the thought of another daughter of Zeus intriguing her, but most of them I couldn't answer, and Hippolyta eventually had to tell her to stop and let me finish. I noticed the snarkiness in her tone gone, replaced with just as much awe as the other amazons, though she did a better job of hiding it..

I went on to describe my adventure with the Hunters of Artemis. This was the most interesting to them by far, as they saw the similarities between themselves. When I got to the whole "holding the sky" part they were confused again."

"It seems we have another difference between our world," Hippolyta mused, "Here there is no place where the sky and earth meet in such a way. It doesn't seem physically possible for you to hold it up as such."

I shrugged, "It didn't feel physically possible, let me tell ya. I only held it for a few minutes and it was one of the top five most painful moments in my life. I don't understand the science behind it, if there is any."

I continued on to the whole Labyrinth mess, where I explained how I got Mrs. O'Leary. I noticed some shivers run down some spines as I described Kampé, and couldn't blame them. That bitch was terrifying. I got some dirty looks when I explained how I destroyed Typhon's prison, but I assured them it all worked out, and that it was really Hephaestus' fault in the first place.

Finally, I told the story of the battle of Manhattan. They were immediately stunned to dead silence as I described my bath in the River Styx. I mostly ignored them and continued the story, though I noticed my friends staring at me wide eyed as well, which kind of upset me. I liked having friends who didn't know all my "feats" they were easier to be around. Less expectant.

The clincher however was when I describe going toe to scythe with the king of the Titans. I even saw a few tears shed as I describes Luke's final sacrifice.

At the end Diana couldn't help but ask, "W-What happened then? Surely the gods must have rewarded you handsomely for such a feat!"

I nodded, "Yeah, they tried to offer me godhood."

At that, the amazons were shocked into silence, while Hestia leaned forward with her still growing smile, "Tried? So you refused?"

I nodded. "Yeah, back then… I had friends and family I wasn't ready to leave behind. I'm sure you understand."

The goddess of Family had a twinkle in her eye, "I'd like to think I do. However I must say that must men in the same situation wouldn't have hesitated to accept. your sense of loyalty is astounding."

I smiled dryly, "That's me, loyal to a fault."

Hippolyta eventually cleared her throat after collecting herself, "Well… that certainly is an impressive tale. I must… apologize for my previous attitude towards you, I see you do not deserve it. However, this leaves many questions unanswered. Why do you not have the curse of Achilles anymore? And from the sounds of it, your life should have been— "

"Smooth sailing from there right?" I interrupted. She could only nod while I snickered, "You'd think that wouldn't you. but from there is when everything went to shit. Starting with Hera stealing 8 months of my life for no gods damned reason."

I went on to explain my adventures with the crew of the Argo II, cue more gasps and awed looks, yada yada yada, until finally I got to the end of Annabeth's fight with Arachne. To the Fall."

"Y-You fell into Tartarus?" Hestia asked, shocking the crowd with her stuttering."

I blinked, "So you have that here too?"

She looked uneasy, "I-it goes by many names. Tartarus, Hell, the Abys. It is a terrible dimension, host to only the most dangerous and bloodthirsty creatures."

I nodded, "Sounds about right."

Hestia shook her head, "But it's a different dimension! How could you just fall from one dimension to the next?"

I shrugg3d, "Magic hole?" I heard a few snickers in the crowd, and a few of them didn't come from Wally, "It was a hell of a trip though, I'm not sure but it felt like I spent hours falling, if not days."

"Wait a moment! Back up!" Diana exclaimed, "How did you end up falling down there anyways?"

I felt my throat close up, as flashed of her face, dangling below me flashed through my head. for a moment, I felt M'gann's mind touch mind, lightly, as if to comfort me. I looked over at her to see her looking at me with deep concern. I simply smiled, before facing forward.

"Annabeth Chase, a daughter of Athena," I again ignored the confusion, "And my girlfriend." Cue even more confusion. "One of her feet was caught by some of Arachne's webs, with heavy debris on the other end. It was dragging her down the hole, I barely managed to catch her before she fell."

I took another breath, "I tried to hold on until the others came to help, but I could tell we wouldn't last that long, I could feel her hand slipping. So I had a choice, either let her go, or…"

Realization dawned on everyone's face, as Hestia spoke in awe, "You fell for her… I mean no I'm sorry I didn't mean— "

She was cut off by the sound of me laughing boisterously. Everyone stared at me in surprise, but I didn't care. I surprised myself with how real my own laugh was. When I finally reined myself in I said, "That…. That is hilariously accurate. Unfortunately,… she didn't survive the fall."

That seemed to bring the mood of the amphitheater down by a thousand percent. Hestia looked down at me with concern I thought only a mother could have. "I'm… so sorry child. We can stop now if— "

I shook my head, "No no this is good, I… There's not much left. Long story short, Tartarus is time dilated, so two weeks turned to 140 years, the majority of which I spent under the care of Perses, the titan of destruction. And by care, I mean constant and very creative torture."

"Percy…" Diana spoke calmly but I could barely hear her.

"…one of his favorite things to do was remove my limbs and beat me with them one by one, before reattaching them the next day. I don't know what kind of magic it was, but no matter what he did to me I would stay alive." I chuckled a bit, "Once, he took me in front of a mirror and ripped my head and spine out of my body, before making me look at myself. That was fun." I vaguely recognized the sound of several people vomiting.

"Perseus…" Hippolyta spoke fearfully, but again I ignored it.

"But I think the worst part was when he would give me my daily cut. It wasn't the most painful by far, and they'd all be healed again when he eventually ran out of room, but I guess it was the sense of inevitably, the fact that no matter what I did I couldn't get out of it. And also because he made the cut with one of my ribs."

I felt my heart beat faster, "And then, when I finally escape after a CENTURY! I end up watching all of my friends die ONE BY ONE!"

"PERCY!" I looked to see that it was in fact Raven who shouted my name. she seemed to be the only one with a straight face at the moment, as the others were either sobbing, (M'gann and Tyson) throwing up, (Wally and Artemis) or looking up at the sky fearfully.

I looked up at the sky to see that I had unconsciously formed a light hurricane over the amphitheater. It swirled threateningly over the Amazons, but had yet to let loose any rain or lighting. I cursed under my breath a bit, realizing I had lost control again, before looking forward, to come face to face with Hestia.

Before I could respond, she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled my had against her chest. As soon as it made contact, I felt all the images running through my head, disappear, before I blacked out.

Third Person POV

As soon as Percy's face hit Hestia's chest, the swirling clouds overhead dissipated, and the people in the amphitheater let out a sigh of relief, before returning their attention to Hestia, who was now cradling Percy in her arms like he weighed nothing at all, a small frown on her face.

After a few moments, she spoke loud enough for all the amazons to her, "This… man, has proven to be a true loyal hero, and potentially a great ally for Themyscira. Does anyone object?" No one did. "Good… however he has also proven to have gone through worse hardships than any other hero on Earth. He will need much guidance…" she looked up to see the Team walking towards her. she zeroed in on M'gann, "You girl. You martians are good with minds, right?"

M'gann, still greener than usual from Percy's speech, lowered her head, "I have offered to try to relieve his pain, but he won't let me. He doesn't want me to go through the pain it would cause me…"

Hestia actually scoffed, surprising Diana who stood next to her, "He would say that wouldn't he? I suppose he has a point…"

"Uh… Lady Hestia?" Tyson spoke up tentatively.

Hestia looked at the Cyclops, "Yes Tyson?"

He looked like he was almost about to pass out from the emotional stress of Percy's speech combined with talking to an Olympian like this, but he calmed down when M'gann put a hand on his shoulder, "I-I just wanted to say… he was much worse when we came here. I don't know what you are thinking, but if you wish to help heal him with some form of Magic, I don't think he would approve."

Hestia looked surprised, "Really? Why is that?"

He took a deep breath, "My brother… cherishes the memories he has of those he lost, no matter how painful they are. And his time… downstairs, may have taken its toll, but it has also given him strength, in way. I wish I could take those memories away, but until he says so, I don't think it would be correct to do so."

Hestia looked at him for a moment before smiling warmly, "I do believe you are the most eloquent cyclops I have ever met. Well said Tyson. Thank you for speaking up."

He nodded quickly, as Hestia readjusted Percy in her arms, "I am keeping him calm for now, as well as keeping his nightmares away. I will take him to a room and stay with him until he is well rested." She spoke louder for the Amazons, "And then we will see how well he fares with the Trials of the Amazons! Tell me: who would like to test themselves against this Hero?"

In response, the crowd of Amazons roared in approval, some waving their weapons in the air to indicate that they would very much like to fight the demigod.

The team looked at Hestia in shock, "You are still going to make him go through the trials?" Kaldur asked in confusion, "Forgive me my lady but do you think that is the best idea right now?"

Hestia only smiled, "I do. From his story, I believe it will be good for him." She turned to Diana, "I also think we should try out that game he mentioned: capture the flag. I'm sure the Amazons will enjoy it just as much as he does."

She looked at them one more time, "I will bring him to his room now, any who wish to come are welcome."

She then turned and walked away, followed quickly by Tyson, M'gann, and Raven, though the gothic girl was keeping a cautious eye on the goddess more so than the others.

That left Robin, Kaldur, Wally, Artemis, and Kaldur standing awkwardly in the middle of the Amphitheater while the Amazons slowly y filed out. They were silent for a moment before Robin said, "I can't believe I tried to lead him."

Kaldur nodded, "I agree, I feel silly that I even thought about it."

Artemis was slumped a bit, causing Wally to ask, "What's wrong?"

Artemis sighed, "I just realized that he's a thousand years out of my league."

Wally could only pat her on the back at that. Robin turned to Superboy, who had a strange look on his face, "What is it SB?"

He had his eyes narrowed as he looked around, "Somethings… GET DOWN!"

Before even Superboy could move however, a yellow streak slammed into him, cratering him into the ground, and throwing up a ton of dust. Diana and Hippolyta, who had been making their way out of the amphitheater with their sister, froze at this, before simultaneously thinking": oh Hera."

A moment later a red-haired warrior ran through the crowd, panting heavily, "Damn it girl! I told you to stay put!"

"How could I!" a feminine voice responded inside the dust cloud. The other members of the team gathered their wits and rushed into the cloud, only for it to suddenly be blown away by something.

It cleared away to reveal a strange sight. Superboy was on his back, looking up in anger at a girl who was standing on his chest, and glaring down at him just as harshly. she had fair skin, blue eyes, and long blonde hair, as well as an athletic build that paired perfectly with the Amazonian armor she was wearing. She bent down and pointed to the S symbol on his T-Shirt, "Why are you wearing this symbol?! Why do you look like my cousin?!"

Diana face palmed at her difficult student, "Gods damn it Kara…"

Chapter 11

So far this birthday is looking to go just as badly as his last one huh? Well its not over yet. And yes I am mixing timelines and all that. I always loved the thought of Kara training with the Amazons

I didn't wnt to get too far into his explanation of his life, mostly because I get so engrossed in it I could go on in on… but I hope I did it well.

Also I know we never did get him to answer how he came to this world. An important part of the Amazon Lore is theat they have a strong connection with Gaea, learning that he killed her… well we'll see how that goes eventually.
