Sorry for the long wait, my laptop broke and I just managed to get a new one yesterday. I will try to update all my other stories within the next week for y'all.(:

So, Monday is my birthday so as a birthday present y'all should all review my stories and tell me whatcha think!

As a challenge for y'all and myself, if this story can get to 55 comments by the time I work on the update, I will make the next chapter at least 5,000 words long!(:

DISCLAIMER: I do not own HP or PJ

Hadrian and Percy are standing shoulder to shoulder in a group of a couple dozen demigods. Both are wearing mail armor, though Hadrian believes he feels more comfortable in his than Percy, judging by his companions consistent squirming.

Chiron is standing above the assembled demigods, smiling graciously down at them.

"Hello everyone and welcome to another riveting game of Capture the Flag! Now I understand you have already prepared your teams before this, but I will need someone to allow young Percy and Hadrian to join their team."

Chiron's dark blue eyes scan the crowd before Luke finally moves forward.

Placing a hand on each of the newer demigod's shoulders, Luke gives Chiron a slightly cocky smile.

"They can join my team. I'm sure having the sons of two of the Big Three will make for an easy victory for us!" Flashing Hadrian and Percy a charming smile, Luke calls over his shoulder to his team mates. "We need two helmets for our newest players!"

As two helmets are passed to the front, Luke hands them to his to newest team mates.

Bending down slightly, Luke whispers in a hushed voice. "When the game starts, I want you two to stay with me. I'm going to at least try to get you two out alive."

Hadrian and Percy share a wide-eyed look before following Luke and the rest of their team to the 'starting line'.

Hadrian watches as his mate is dealt several powerful blows from the blonde guarding the red flag, Annabeth he thinks her name is.

Gripping the bronze sword tightly, Hadrian wishes his mate wasn't so hard headed in wanting to face her alone. It has only been a couple of weeks since Hadrian joined the camp, but he knew Percy had something to prove against the blonde.

Hadrian had promised Percy not to get involved, but after watching the red warrior toy with his mate, while leaving long bleeding gashes across his torso, he was about to go back on his word and show this pathetic little half-blood not to hurt what was his.

Glancing behind him at the rustling leafs, Hadrian doesn't know whether he should feel relieved or not about the arrival of both teams.

Restraining himself from sending a rather vicious hex at the blonde, Hadrian watches as she kicks his already downed mate in the stomach and turns to the assembled demigods, raising her sword in believed victory.

Hadrian smirks when he notices the presence of Poseidon whirling around Percy's head.

Percy begins to slowly crawl towards the small stream, ignoring the gloating and boasting of the red team, and sticks his hand in the water.

The water swirls up Percy's arm closing all previously bleeding wounds and giving Percy an adrenaline rush.

Picking up his sword, Percy stalks towards Annabeth. She barely manages to turn around and lift her own sword in defense before he unleashes a barrage of slashes on her.

Annabeth can barely keep up as Percy mercilessly knocks her sword from her hands and places the tip at her throat.

"Surrender, Daughter of Athena."

Annabeth's blue eyes narrow and a sneer forms on her face, but she raises her hands in defeat.

Percy's sea-foam green eyes catch Hadrian's own acidic green, before Percy sends Hadrian a small smile getting a nod in return.

Hadrian's eyes follow the toned form of his mate as Percy picks up the red flag, both teams parting before him like waves. Walking back across the stream, Percy digs the red flag into the slightly muddy ground.

Both teams stare dumb struck before everyone clothed in blue begins cheering loudly.

Hadrian clapping loudest of all.

Hadrian is sitting on Percy's bed in Poseidon's cabin listening to his mate explain the prophecy that the oracle told him, along with the quest he must go on the retrieve Zeus' master bolt and stop a war from forming between the Olympians.

"-and now I have to go on a quest to the underworld to get Zeus' bolt back from Hades and I was wondering because you're the son of Hades if you will go with me."

Hadrian blinks his eyes slowly. Hadrian didn't understand where he got the idea that Hades had stolen the master bolt, but he figured it was in the story Percy had rushed through.

Nodding his head, Hadrian finally replies. "Yes I will go with you. It will give me a chance to meet my father."

Smiling brightly, Percy captures Hadrian in a bone crushing hug, his green eyes watering slightly.

"Thank you so much Hadrian, I know it is a lot to ask for, but I wouldn't want anyone else to go. You're turning into one of my best friends."

Hadrian's gut clenches on the word 'friends' but he figured this was why his parents told him he needed to go on the quest with Percy.

"That's what friends are for, right?"

Percy flashes Hadrian a blinding white smile.

"Exactly."

Clapping his hands together Percy gives Hadrian a serious look.

"We leave tomorrow morning. Chiron said he has gotten us a way into the city, but after that we are on our own. I'll meet you at The Big House in the morning."

Hadrian smiles softly at Percy before giving him a gentle hug of his own.

"I'll see you in the morning. Try to get some sleep."

Hadrian beckons Percy one last goodnight, closing the door to his cabin.

Stroking the onyx pendant between his fingers, Hadrian concentrates of calling out to his father. Usually he would simply go to the underworld to visit him, but after accidently appearing in on his parents 'alone' night, Hadrian was much more comfortable with summoning his parents to him.

Watching as black mist seeps from the cracks of the dreary cabin floors, Hadrian smiles at his father as Hades steps through the darkness.

"It is nice to see you, father."

Hades moves to sit on the bed next to his son. Running his fingers through soft black hair, Hades gives Hadrian a rare smile.

"I have missed you, my son."

Hadrian gives his father a smile of his own before his face turns serious.

"While I love seeing you father, I think you know the real reason I called you here."

Hades nods his head thoughtfully. "Yes, your young demigod mate has a quest."
"While I understand the need for us to go on this quest together, is there anything I must know before him and I embark tomorrow."

Hades eyes his heir thoughtfully. While Hadrian had grown to be an extremely powerful god, he was still a child in the eyes of the immortals. His measly 20,000 years might seem infinite in the minds of mortals, but to the truly immortal beings he was nothing more than a teenager.

Hades snorts slightly to himself at the thought of Hadrian being referred to as a pubescent, seeing as he could best himself and his mothers in a fight, but it was true.

Seeing the worry in his son's eyes, Hades tells his heir exactly what Hecate had told him.

"Your mother has told me that you cannot help young Percy at every turn. He must act as his own person or he will never come into his true powers and will never learn to accept you. You must let Percy make all the major decisions and suffer the consequences should they arise. You are a god and your mate only half, so in order for him to be able to stand next to a being even more powerful than Chaos himself, he will need to learn discipline and deal with challenges when faced with them. I'm not saying you cannot help Percy on his quest, but you must not complete his quest for him."

Hadrian hangs his head after his father's speech. While he knew that he couldn't use his powers to fix everything for Percy, he was at least hoping he could make it easier for his mate. Hadrian knew that he would have to let Percy become his own person, especially if Percy was to be his dominate.

Shaking his head, Hadrian looks into his father's black eyes.

"What obstacles are we going to have to face?"

Hades laughs boisterously.

"Now where would the fun in that be?" Noticing the un-amused look on Hadrian's face, Hades decides to give him some information, Hadrian's threat about dying his wardrobe pink was not idle, he had done it successfully before. "Not only will he have to face Medusa, Echidna and the Chimera but he will also have to find my Helm, because it too has been stolen."

Rolling his eyes skywards, Hadrian sighs to himself. "It is a good thing then that you and uncle Zeus know who the real thief is, or I would have to pray for my mates safety." Narrowing his eyes, Hadrian adds as an afterthought. "The demigod Luke is a very convincing actor, if I did not know already that he was the thief, I probably wouldn't have suspected him."

Hades nods his head in agreement before standing leisurely.

"While it has been pleasant visiting you, I must return to your mom in the Underworld. She was trying to redecorate the castle when I left."

Both Hades and Hadrian share a horrified shiver.

"Please go and stop her, I know eventually Percy and I will make our way down there, and I would rather his first visit to your castle not be seen as a joke."

Hades softly slaps Hadrian upside the head before disappearing in a cloud of black mist, words echoing in the dank cabin.

"Cheeky brat. I'll see you soon."

Hadrian smiles before laying down to catch some sleep. Thoughts of his mate filling dreams.
