Out of the woods chapter 4
Disclaimer I don't own Percy Jackson or Artemis Fowl.
I'm just a guy who had an idea and hopes people enjoy his work and give him good reviews.
With the demigods (during the birth of Artemis' child)
Now a lot of things can be said about Percy Jackson. He is the son of the sea god Poseidon, he was the saviour of Olympus, has is the boyfriend of Annebeth Chase the architect of Olympus and daughter of Athena who wanted to fry him for even looking at her daughter, he was absolutely terrified of flying and the list can go on and on but of all the things that can be said about Percy being a sucker wasn't one of them. He knew that something was going on. His first clue was that they hadn't gone to Rachel to hear a prophecy this either meant that the gods had something to hide or the gods already knew where they needed to go, his second clue was how Zeus had come personally to initiate the quest this meant that whatever was going on was very important to the gods and his last clue was how he wasn't being blasted out of the sky even though they were flying through a large storm. Percy had never been so glad to be with Thalia and Jason. No some might call Percy paranoid for being so mistrustful of the gods but after all the shit he had be put through but the quests, the monsters, the extended family meetings and all the near death experiences he has had made it very difficult to look at any request that the gods made at face value.
As Percy was thinking over the quest and what the possible hidden mission behind it Nico and Thalia where busy with a game of poker and Jason was busy talking with Adam discussing their current course. "Ok guys we'll be landing in Ireland in the next two hours so get some rest. Once we're on the ground we'll heading over to a friend of Adams who has been kind enough to house us during our time here on our quest". Percy just nodded his head to acknowledge he had heard Jason while Nico and Thalia jus grunted has they started to pack away their game. As the demigods started getting the last of their stuff ready for their mission and preparing to get some sleep Adam(Apollo) looked over the demigods who were with him and came to the resounding conclusion that he was screwed as it was very likely that these kids would find out what was actually going on. While he may be on a train heading for a cliff Apollo knew that even if he was going to be busted he needed these kids to find his sister.
3 hours later Ireland
"Well oh lord of the skies it seems that you were wrong about are landing time". Mocked Percy as he was busy stretching to get some feeling back in his body. "Oh very funny it's not my fault that the storm was stronger than was anticipated and for some reason I couldn't manipulate it. Do you think that a monster could have done it"? It may have only been a question but it brought the small group to a startling realization. For the demigods it just meant that this quest was going to be much more dangerous than they had originally thought, however for the god hidden in the group it meant that things just got a whole lot more complicated than he hoped for and that things could get very ugly very soon however before he could ask Jason about what monster he thought could have been causing the storm he saw their ride coming to collect them. "Ah it looks like are ride is here, now look when you guys are busy with your plans and discussing what we need to do be careful as my friend is a very paranoid person". Just as the demigods where going to ask what he meant a man that Percy could have sworn looked like a walking mountain and could easily pass as a child of Ares/Mars walked up to Adam and talked with him a bit before he looked over to them and just directed them to put their luggage in the car and get in. While most of the group was actually trying to process how this mortal seemed to give off an aura of danger most monsters would be jealous of Nico just looked curios. "So how do you guys think Adam and our new friend here met?"

He had been at the airport for about an hour when he saw Adams plane start to descend. While being late for a meet would usually put him in a paranoid mood he had really mellowed out a bit over the years he had spent watching over Artemis and he had expected the plane to arrive late as the car radio had spit out warning about a freak stormed that had formed over the coast. As Adam and his guests got out of the plane he quickly got out of his seat and went to collect them. "Adam it's good to see you again and I see you've brought some friends with you. Look I know that you usually don't always do the most legal of work, just knowing me proves that but just promise me that whatever job you and your friends are working won't cause me any problems like the first time we met each other". Adam actually looked embarrassed and nervously scratched the back of his head and laughed a bit as he seemed to be recalling the day they first met day they met.
While Adam was reminiscing butler turned around to get a look at Adams co-workers as he had called them over the phone the girl actually surprised him as he knew Adam was a big flirt and was pretty sure any female he worked with would try to kill him considering their line of work however she seemed very capable as a fighter and from what he could see of her equipment she seemed to favour long range and she seemed to be the one in charge of the other three. The three guys were a bit harder to judge but they looked like the type to fight up close and personal but the shorter and pale looking one actually scared him a bit as the look in his eyes showed a person who had seen death. The last two did actually remind him a bit of his sister from their body language and the way they interacted with the group. "Ok you four the car is over there, you can just put your stuff in the back and get in once you're done".
End of butlers (pov)
As the group got into the car they all had the same feeling that something big was going to happen and that it would be a big mess for all of them and as butler drove them back to his place and somehow a song began to play on the radio as if by magic that would perfectly describe what was going to happen and as high way to hell played on the radio Apollo could only hope that he could finish this quickly and get his father to unshackle him as soon as possible as he had never actually been shackled for this long before and he hated the feeling of having he power just out of reach and the feeling of helplessness that came with being shackled.
For those wondering yes Butler has actually met Adam(Apollo) before during his time before he was Artemis' body guard and Apollo used the mist to make butler think that Percy and his friends look older and a bit more combat worn. Apollo still has some power even while shackled. (Can make fire balls; manipulate the mist; inhumane accuracy; a very large knowledge of earth medicine and medical skill; Good with animals) Also yes butler knows Adam as a mercenary and a very intelligent medic that is a bit famous in mercenary circles. I would also like to say that I would appreciate and advice or ideas up for offer for this story
Please leave your reviews and I hope you have all enjoyed this chapter.
