Chapter 9

I don't own anything

All Credits goes to Rick Riordan

Sorry about the wait btw

Also, when I upload the stories to FF, I always edit, but for whatever reason

the breaks I do when its time for a new POV, somehow they always remain together, just so you know.

ZEUS WHERE ARE YOU? You Sneaky SON OF A, "Hades Roared so loudly it could Heard from the Olympus elevator,

",Hades as your king I command you to calm down Zeus said,

"Calm down you expect me to do that since you have gone and basically said to Perseus

that you should father him Because you are the king? No this time around you should have.

Waited like the rest of us.

Enough Zeus exploded First I just said come to dinner with me and Hera,

Secondly he hardly respects the fact I am the king and therefore is entitled to whatever I want no I have to earn everything with him and as you know patience isn't my thing, thirdly all of this was Hera's idea something so if you want to anger somebody take her Zeus said, and all of this is I swear on the Styx is true.

" Alright I'll take your word for it then, with that I do have some grave news.

" What is it? Zeus asked; the story about Perce being parentless has reached the primordial's and Titans which means that they're also after him so we all have to act quickly and together Hades finished.

" Alright here's the plan you don't tell the others what me and Hera did. " Now when we are finished tonight I will tell send a message and you and Persephone will take him on a walk, and get him into going out with both of you tomorrow, " but be sure not to take a "no for answer

" Alright But Zeus we both swear on Chaos that this will remain between us, Okay Hades said with a glare, " knowing that if his brother could he would cheat his way out and that wasn't acceptable.

" Fine Zeus said, but I also want something In return?" What do you want?" Hades asked. " You and Persephone will alert me and Hera if you hear something about what the Primordial's are going to do to get Perseus, and you will keep this a secret, this way we cover each other while we are keeping us in front to get Percy as son, is that understood? Zeus said.

"Fine with me Hades said". But I expect you to keep your word, otherwise it's full on battle.

"Hades don't make this something it isn't we are both competing for the same goal, yet we are on the same side, if anything goes sour, we'll both Adopt him that way he doesn't have to watch us fight or trying to kill him".

Okay but we need to get Hera and Persephone on board with this if we want to succeed, "Agreed I'll tell Hera and you tell Persephone, and Tonight you and Persephone will take him for desert, I'll make sure that Athena's daughter won't stand in our way.

" Zeus she is not an enemy nor is she a threat, and if you do take her out do you really Think Perseus is going to think you will be the dad of year?."

I am Zeus King of The Gods, of course it's only natural that I will be father of the Year.

"Hahaha You make me Laugh, Hades, Hera and Persephone's voices choired".

What you hurt me Zeus mocked them, I mean I do make some mistakes, but all in all I'm superior Fantastic, but enough chit-chat, ladies me and Hades have discussed what to do, with the Perseus Jackson- Zeus, Hera jump in line, Situation.

and basically what we come to agreed, is that Tonight after me and Hera are Finished Hades and Persephone I will send message to them to come and meet us at Olympus where Hades and Persephone will invite him out, but we have all have to keep this a secret so Hera and Persephone since me and Hades have made and oath on Chaos you two will do the same, Zeus said.

Okay, but what are we going to do if he can't decide between the four of us? Persephone said.

" It's easy we will all adopt him so that way he won't have to deal with death threats from either parents since we will both basically be his fathers and mothers'

but with that in mind, I do think that it will be for the best if Hera and Persephone adopt our other children so he will have some siblings to play with? Zeus said fearing at little for the Reaction of both Hera and Persephone.

YOU WANT WHAT Hera Shrieked, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MIND,

YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW THALIA IS WITH ME AND VICE VERSA.

" Hera Zeus is right you know, without any siblings he will just be lonely and get more attention and more enemies, than we will like, so yeah I agree with Zeus that you Should adopt Thalia, and I will of course gladly adopt Nicholas Di-Angelo, Persephone said shocking the three gods.

" It's just, I mean how can you live with the fact that adopting of your Husbands affair, I mean won't it be a reminder of the hurt you dealt with? Hera asked.

" Yes and No Hera it's not the child's fault whatever Hades did, Like Thalia isn't responsible for Zeus's Mistakes, I do understand the need to take your anger out on somebody and always it's easiest with the children from the affair but it's not

Like I punished Hades, By having him doing all garden work for weeks and wearing the Spring clothes.

After that he has never tried to because of the humiliation plus it made us stronger. but with that in mind we have a deal. but I won't go into that.

All I'm saying try to actually spend some time with Thalia, without trying to kill her or think of ways to cause her pain, if you can do that maybe you will learn how Thalia really is, but again it's your decision but If truly want a happy family and Perseus is included in that you better make room for Thalia because she is too big a part of his life.

Fine, but enough of all this talking about spouses affairs and illegitimate children because we have serious buisness to attend within an hour so Zeus take the suit I have found for you and get ready, Mss drama Princess NOW. Hera barked.

You two do whatever you want to do until either me or Zeus send word till you and you make your move on him. Is that understood? Hera said to Hades and Persephone.

Yes my Queen.

" Gee and I wonder why dad cheated Persephone said to Hades after Hera had flashed away,

Now Now Be nice to your Aunt not her fault she is too much of Control freak, Hades finished.

Anyway I can think of a few ideas what to do while we wait Persephone said Smiling a Sinister smile.

Oh I'm with you on that Hades said think he would get lucky.

Good you are with me, because I have big surprise,

"Is it what I think it is?, Hades asked getting dirty thoughts.

you'll see, so close your eyes and wait for the big surprise P said.

and let me flash us there, and when I tell you to open your eyes do it okay.

Line break:

Hey wise girl I have a problem and I could really use your help. Percy said.

"Is it like that time again with your zipper, Because if it is I swear you will pay dearly.

"No it's not like that, you see after you stole my clothes, I ran into a situation, and I could really use your and Athena's help with it.

"Percy you are scaring me, what happened after the shower?".

Zeus and Hera stood and invited me out Tonight, and I get the feeling that they really want me, not that I blame them, I mean who can resist this good-looking,

" Perseus Jackson stop your Rant right now.

Sorry anyway they have invited me out and we both know why, but I don't if should go, or even consider them parent material.

" Percy, I know this is hard, because of our fights with them, but I am sure that if you don't even give them the benefit of the doubt, then you'll face a much bigger problem than already, so tonight you will go and act polite and even if you think it's miserable, then try looking at it this way, at least you got an expensive dinner out of it, so don't complain.

Thank wise girl I really needed that, and with that in mind, give me back my clothes, you thief.

" Really is that the best you got, (Thief) you disappoint me.

yeah but you know you love me you handsome nerd. Also do you why Piper is acting really weird around me today?.

" No but Percy think about it, her mother Aphrodite wants you as a son, which means that you will become her brother and I think it's confusing for her, but she is Piper, she will come around, so don't worry".

Yeah but it's not just Piper and me, it's also Silena and Thalia, like the three of them know something about me some secret that is scaring them, and I fear the worst.

"Percy what is it that makes them scary of you?"

Well I do hope they haven't found my, well you don't need to know that.

but please keep an eye out and try to get them to open up to you.

because It's really freaky, the way they act.

" Perseus Jackson go and get ready for your Date with destiny tonight and don't do or say anything,

we'll both regret". and for heaven's sake wear the good clothes.

do you mean, the black jeans and white shirt? "Yeah" uhm you see long story short. I don't have them anymore. "what, what do mean?" I mean Thalia might have burned them because she didn't like them. Anyway I don't have anything other than the clothes you stole and the ones in the washing machine.

" Perce just go back to the Cabin, and wait for me there, and don't do anything rushed or stupid for that matter, just wait".

Thanks babe that's one the reason why I love you, in fact we're the dynamo duo.

"Percy if you don't stop your rambling about duos, You'll never be kissed again plus you will be sleeping on the couch, is that understood?"

Yes boss, OW, Sorry wise girl I couldn't help myself.

"Later at the Athenian Cabin:

So Percy I heard you had some clothing Problems, "Silena said".

You could say that, but Thalia ruined my special clothes which were what I would wear at fine evenings, but she didn't like it so while I was sleeping she burned it and replaced with something ugly, and I believe me when I say it's ugly it was something that would Haunt Aphrodite if she saw me in it, anyway I'll just stop rambling, what do you think I should wear and do tonight?.

" Percy you are really good guy just be yourself, and don't try to over think what it is".

May I ask you something? Percy asked. "sure go ahead, came the reply".

what is you and Pipers deal today? I mean when I met Piper earlier she freaked when she saw me, and the Same goes for Thalia but she is always weird, and then Saw you at the beach talking with someone and when my name was mentioned you also freaked.

" Percy if I tell you what is going on, then you have to promise me that you talk about it to anyone, okay, ( yes of course) Piper was talking with Reyna, anyway Piper accidently mentioned what happened with Poseidon and Sally, to Reyna, but then Reyna mentioned that in order for a for something like this bidding war the gods have, in order for them to fully adopt you they also have to pair up.

but that is not what freaked us out, no The thing is that Mom has decided because Ares and Hephaestus lack of interest In you, she would found someone better, and she moved on quite quickly, but her choice is terrifying.

(who is it? Percy asked)

She has proposed in order to avoid competition she has proposed Marriage to Artemis, and you should be their child together,

and that right now freaks all of us out including hunters.

" Wow but I haven't decided who should adopt me not yet. but maybe I should move this quicker than I thought if it leads to these situations".

Percy it's not all, there is a rumor, that is Zeus and Hera is tired of their thrones, and their fights so they have talked about meeting at common ground which means an adopted child, because it will get both genes yet lack the features like Hephaestus.

" So in other words I'm going to be adopted in order for them to save their Marriage?". Typical.

Percy it means that you will be King of the gods, but like I said it's just a rumor please don't jump to conclusions before we know all the details, focus on a good dinner and small talk enough, You can do this you know. anyway what time is it you should meet them?

"17:30 PM half-blood-hill.

Okay that gives you an hour and half to shave and shower and put on the clothes.

after that this is a new perfume for men by Hugo Boss, which you should try.

" Silena I'm not a doll you can dress all the time you know".

I know but you are the one that is making the King and Queen of the gods waiting not me, so for your own sake hurry up.

" 19:00 PM, Half-blood Hill:

Good evening Perseus, " Good Evening Lord Zeus - Lady Hera. Percy greeted

Oh you don't have to bow tonight, we are not in official business. " uhm okay".

now I believe we have a reservation at the Daniels Restaurant. so please step into the Limosine, do you want something to drink?

" no thank you, so what exactly is it I this is about?.

Oh Perseus not even you are that dense, you know exactly why we going to dinner tonight, ( Hera you are doing it again) Zeus said.

Pardon Perseus, it came out a little bossy, but no need to dive into that.

"uhm okay, Percy said".

Now Perseus, you know why we are here, and you are a smart enough to figure what we want.

" Really no one has ever said I was smart,

I mean clumsy and fat, and a few other things I can't remember right now, but it's all good you know".

Perseus please stop rambling, Zeus said.

" okay but what exactly is it you hope to gain from adopting me?

Perseus, you are really the perfect person, and quite frankly the perfect son,

you see where me and Hera, have gotten godly children, they all have their flaws

and even my Demi-children, also have flaws. However when most gods see you and Poseidon,

our envy showed because, none of our children act that way however because you are special it also shows, in fact I heard from Hades that Primordial's and Titans also have a interest in getting you. and that is why Persephone Hades and Hera and myself are offering to adopt you.

and if you think about it you'll see the benefits of having me and Hera as parents,

because obviously everyone will be envious however you'll also get siblings

and we know that it is something you always wanted, not necessary a Cyclops, but this time real siblings. Zeus said.

" Do you mean Thalia and Jason?, because last I knew Hera hated us?.

Perseus, you are wrong about that, you see during the war it was planned that we should make treatment between both camps, and the only way to do it was to send someone powerful from each camp to learn about the other, and I wasn't solely responsible for it, we had a vote for it and all agreed to it if it was necessary, however I saw that waiting wasn't an option so I acted, I do regret, not telling you about it but keep in mind that Poseidon knew about it, and why he didn't tell you I don't know but it was wrong of us not giving a heads up.

But for now I think we should be a little more positive.

so Perseus how is your life right now? "it is good,".

How about your relationship? "it is good,"

You see Perseus if you ever need help with women why not ask me, after all I know women, better than they know them self. Zeus said.

EXCUSE ME, Hera snapped. you know nothing about women at all.

could we please talk about something else, Zeus said.

"Later at the Restaurant.

So Perseus have you decided what you want to eat? Hera asked.

" Yes i'm going for the Spaghetti and a coke.

We're all set then, Zeus said.

" Waiter POV:

Are you ready to order?

Yes we are,

I'll have steak rare, (Zeus)

I'll have the spaghetti venison and ceasar salad, (Hera)

I'll have spaghetti bolognese, (Percy)

" and for drinks The waiter said.

a Coke and a bottle of wine.

"Linebreak:

So Perseus did you enjoy your dinner? Hera asked

" Yes I did, thank you". but can ask a favor?

uhm that depends on what it is? Zeus said.

can you please call me Percy, Perseus was only used, if I was grounded.

of course, we will Hera said.

Women huh, Zeus said in a nodded in understanding,

Zeus what is it we have discussed several times? Hera snared at her husband.

Lord Zeus as helpful as I am this one is on you, Percy said laughing.

Hera can we let this discussion wait till later.

" Zeus, telepathic speaking to Hera:

Hera send Message, to Hades and Persephone this instant.
