So this is the next chapter. Sorry it took so long, my motivation was really low and I actually had heart surgery a few weeks ago. But it's cool. I'm all good now. Like I said. I don't plan on letting this story die.

As always I own nothing all rights go to the respective owners. Such as characters owned by Rick Riordan. Hope you enjoy.

"RISE AND SHINE AUQA BOY"

"HOLY ZEUS WHAT THE FUCK J?"

"Come on man it's 4:30 we gotta get a move on, we're gonna be on the run in less than 24 hours. And after that we're gonna need some divine intervention for help, at least up until you start to learn a few tricks." J said, smiling much to brightly for anyone before 5 am.

"Alright alright, just give me a minute." Percy said getting his bearings and slowly sitting up from the bed he fell asleep in.

It wasn't long until they had finished stowing the gear in the car. 'Perseus Jackson was not a morning person' was the quick conclusion that J had come to. J turned to look at the demigod who appeared as though he had just went twelve rounds with Scylla and Charybdis "Alright Percy I'm gonna take the bags I packed to the car, when I get back you better be ready to go, or I'll drag you to the car and throw you in."

"Yeah I'd like to see you try."

"5 minuets or I'm gonna drug you, and don't think I won't. My patron gave me some stuff that's NyQuil on NyQuil with a bit of chloroform mixed in. I will use it."

"Alright, Alright. I'm up. I'll be out in a minute" Percy said, not sure if J was bluffing.

It took more prodding and threatening (and three buckets of water) from Percy's new friend to finally get Percy out of the house. "Alright just hop in the passenger seat, and make sure to be very careful around the red duffle bag behind the drivers seat. I threw the clothes and supplies you had left behind the passenger seat, and I think that we're covered from there. So let's get goin."

Percy was dumbfounded staring at easily the coolest car he's ever seen. J noticed Percy staring with his mouth somewhat ajar, "I see you admirin', she's nice ain't she. One of a kind" J said smirk evident in his voice. "She's a modified Tesla Roadster, which aren't even available yet. My patron decided that I had given up a lot not to get a little something in return so he decided to give me a few tools to help me out a bit. She's the fastest car you'll ever see, and comes equipped with a bunch of little goodies too. But those will be my secret until need arises. Cause who doesn't like a little surprise."

"I'm not the biggest on them, best to know what you're getting into as a demigod."

"Well yeah, but they will be revealed in time, hopefully I won't have to use a majority of them." J said, getting into the drivers seat and starting the car up.

Percy stood staring at the black car, as spots of color seemed to erupt on it in random places, reminding him of a nights sky. "Alright so what's the plan?"

"Woah there dude, we gotta lot of driving in front of us, let's not blow our conversational load so soon." J admonished.

"Alright alright"

"Let's go"

"Well this is anti climatic." Percy said in a bored tone."how much longer are we gonna be driving for?"

"Dude it's been all of three hours. We're still in Kansas, and we're heading to South America to start working our way up."

"Yeah okay, that didn't answer the question J. And is J your name, an initial, some type of code name, your favorite letter? Seriously what's with the J?"

"It's what you can call me for now. It's all you really need to know. Shouldn't you be asking more about things like 'which Pantheon are we dealing with first in South America' or 'what type of gods are we gonna meet? Who first? Or is there anything I should know about their customs or things that won't get me killed?'" J said trying to shift the subject.

But Percy wasn't as fooled as he was hoping. Quickly poking J in the side of the face and continuing on repeating the words "come on" over and over again visibly annoying J.

"ALRIGHT DUDE, DAMN. WHAT DO YOU WANT OUT OF ME"

"I just wanna know more about you, jeez. You're practically a stranger to me, and here we are on a cross country road trip. For all I know you could be a serial rapist or something." Percy said, quickly eliciting a laugh from J.

J sent Percy a side look, "Alright, What do you wanna do, play '20 questions' or something?"

"I don't think that's what 20 questions is, but if you mean I can ask you some stuff, then yeah, if you're gonna be helping me I don't want to be strangers." Percy said looking at J, whose gaze was focused on the road in front of him.

"Yeah, yeah alright. I guess you can ask some questions, I'll answer as many as I can. But first I'm hungry so let's stop and get some food."

Percy looked at the clock in the car, it read 7:36 they had been driving for more than three hours, "Alright it sounds like a plan."

"And to answer your first question, it's short for something."

Percy looked up confused, "what"

"J," his new companion said,"it's short for something."

Percy's smile grew. He knew it wasn't a lot but every great friendship starts somewhere.

At camp half blood 2 days prior to the beginning of J and Percy's road trip to South America, Chiron felt something was wrong. He couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, but he felt something was off.

It wasn't until one of the younger campers came up to Chiron and asked him, "Hey Chiron, have you seen Percy, I really wanted to learn the disarming move that he knows, but I'm not sure where he's at."

With that, Chiron realized that was what was missing, he had not seen Percy in quite sometime. Which is probably why he noticed he was more busy then before. Percy had been a great help after the wars, and lightened the work load that plagued Chiron. Chiron, in fact, often though of Percy as another camp director sometimes. He quickly excused the young camper and began to seek out the older campers and councilors to ask whether or not they knew where Percy was.

After about 45 minuets Chiron had come to the conclusion that Percy was certainly no longer at camp, in fact the last person to even speak to Percy was Leo who, when asked, said that "Percy and I talked about two weeks ago if I remember correctly, he said he had some new ideas for the Argo II, and I told him I'd get back to him... Iforgot about that now that I think of it. Yeah I haven't even seen him for at least a week, I'm not sure Chiron."

After he had contacted Sally, and had learned that she too had seen Percy a week prior, and not again since, he had realized that Percy was MIA. Word had spread around camp, fast. Leading to a councilors meeting that consisted of the heads of every cabin, now much higher than the original councilor meetings that consisted of the Olympian cabins only, something that is largely due to Percy's efforts. After over an hour of yelling and over all hysteria the camp had decided to send out small search parties to try and locate Percy if he was still within a reasonable distance of camp. Dionysus has reassured them that Percy's disappearance was not due to any of Hera's actions, and this factor alone caused the search effort to be doubled.

After two days Chiron had recalled the search parties on Dionysus' request. "It's time old friend, Perseus's disappearance must be reported to the council, and whatever is happening currently is leading me to believe that the children are not safe outside of camps boarders. The stirring that we've felt, it is concerning."

"Yes. I suppose you are right, old friend. " Chiron said, as he moved over to Dionysus's side, "shall we?"

"Yes, it is time to call the council. the disappearance of Perseus must be reported to my father. For his sake, and ours as well."

With that they had flashed out

Meanwhile

"Yeah, that's exactly what I told them"

J said, face red with laughter.

Percy had just caught his breath as well, their food just now arriving, as he sat in a booth at a small diner in a small town called Deer Creek, Oklahoma. As they began to eat Percy studied the teenager sitting across from him. He had already come to the conclusion that J was a genuinely nice person, and he seemed trustworthy.

As J dug into his eggs with a renewed vigor Percy began asking more of his questions. "So J, you say that you are a 'high priest' whatever that means, how'd you even get that title"

"Ah Perce, see now you're asking the harder questions. Well it's long story, but to sum it up, I wasn't always the dashingly handsome, and Healthy 17 year old you see today. I had a heart condition, was born with it, right? My parents were supportive, and they gave me all the help they could. But I was on a downhill slope, sliding at speeds I shouldn't have. My one escape was video games, and that's when I met this guy. He was easily the nicest person I had ever met, and somehow he knew just how to connect with me. After I told him about my situation during a game of Rainbow Six Siege on the PS4, he came to me, in person. Explained who he was, and he offered me a deal. He would help me, and in return I would help him. It was completely my decision to become his high priest though, he offered to fix my heart without payment, in return for being a true friend that didn't care about his status or power." J said, often taking pauses to inhale more of his pancakes at a rate that honestly wasn't humanly possible.

"You mentioned your parents, how do they feel about your situation?" Percy said as he processed the new information he had just received.

"I think they'd be proud. But one condition that my patron had when I came to him, asking to be something more was the sacrifice of my mortal ties. I miss them, but I make sure they are well taken care of. I always wanted something more from life, an adventure that couldn't be provided by the average everyday life. The sacrifice of my own happiness with my family is a sacrifice I am willing to make to keep them safe, and to make sure I can make a difference." J said, getting a far away look in his eyes as he spoke.

"Damn man, I don't think I could've done that. I don't know that I would want to."

"It was the hardest decision that I ever made, but to keep them safe, and to help the world it is a sacrifice that I would be willing to make again. Our roles in this upcoming conflict are quite large Perce. It's going to be along road to travel."

"Well it's a good thing that you're traveling with a friend then isn't it" Percy said, making eye contact with J.

"Aye, I'll drink to that" J said, as he raises his glass of coke up, and quickly finished his drink.

He threw money down on the table and quickly ushered Percy out of his seat telling him to quickly go to the bathroom as he checks the car and gets any more supplies. J, was determined to get Percy where he needed to go, and Percy was determined to make sure that his new friend didn't sacrifice his family life for no reason. It was time to get the job done, they both decided in their minds, simultaneously.

On Olympus

Chiron and Dionysus has arrived in the throne room, seeing only Hestia there, Dionysus quickly sent a beam of energy into the air, calling for an emergency meeting. One by one the Olympian gods flashed in and took their seats, with the final flash being accented by a sharp crack of lightning and whispers of "drama King"

A low murmur of noise was present in the council room, as many of the gods mingled or seemed preoccupied with other things. Apollo was listening to music, Athena and Poseidon were arguing over a trivial topic, Artemis seemed annoyed about being called to a meeting but at the same time she was pleased with the timing as it saved her another trip as she had a matter to discuss with the council, Hestia was quiet as always, and was tending to the hearth rather than sitting in her throne. Hades seemed please to have a seat on the council once again, and many of the others seemed confused on why a meeting was called.

"SILENCE. THE COUNCIL WILL NOW BEGIN." The booming voice of Zeus cut through each of the conversations that were happening at the time. "Dionysus, Chiron. Why have you called the council here today."

Chiron stepped forwards, bowing slightly, "I have troubling news for the council today lord Zeus, a matter that must be attended to as soon as possible."

"And pray tell Chiron, what would that be?" the voice of Hera spoke out next to Zeus

"Well you see, the thing is...

Perseus Jackson is missing."

Alright my next chapter might take a while. It's going to be a longer own, and I thave a feeling that the actions is gonna start soon. For a frame of reference I haven't read the magnus chase series so that section won't be cannon. I'll see you guys in the next one, make sure to rate, review and follow.
