Jack POV
I was really starting to hate my luck this morning. I woke up being pranked, I almost got hit by a stray arrow by a new camper and now I just finished getting lectured by Arcee who was using a remote body.
"okay, okay, I get it, call first then run for my life." I sighed. "But using cell phones around demigods is like putting up a sign saying" hey, free good, come eat me" for monsters"
"Jack, how come you had never told us in the past? " Arcee asked softly, completely different to her rant from before.
" you're already fighting one war, you shouldn't need to fight in another." I tried to explain.
"Jack, your my partner if your involved, so am I. " Arcee defended.
" And what do you mean by Panthers? " my mother demanded as she walked in.
" Who are you? This is a private conversation! " Arcee snapped. Oh boy mum looked pissed .
" ahh, cee she is lady artemis, goddess of the hunt, moon and child birth." I explained.
"So, that's your other mum? " Arcee asked, shocked slightly. Mum nodded sternly." Sorry, I had no clue."
"Simple mistake, now explain what you mean by partners." mum requested.
"Arcee is Jackson's guardian when it comes to cybertronian matters and helps sometimes with recon." Optimus explained. While Arcee looked like her Sadie hologram, Optimus looked like a black haired man in his mid 40s,wearing a blue shirt with red over jacket, boots and black pants. "she on a personal level would be considered a friend."
"Jackson,is that true?" Mum asked suspicious of Optimus.
"Yes mother, Optimus rarely if ever tries to hide facts unless it is to protect others." I explained.
"Typical lying male." mum muttered. Can't blame her, it took me a while to trust the bots too.
"So, now that's all sorted, Jack, you coming? " Arcee asked. I was torn here, on one hand, I wanted to help the bots, on the other, I had to stay and help my family.
" I'm sorry Arcee, but I'm needed here too, I've talked with the hunters and they've given spot on descriptions of arachnid who's been following them, not to mention they're like sisters to me, I can't just let them face her alone." I explained. Arcee gave a sad nod in understanding. "Sure the Guardian of the hunt can manage, but barely, he had to flood the place to stop her."
"Jackson,if this is what you wish, we shall not hold you back." Optimus explained with a slight nod.
"I'll visit, Prime's honor." I smiled slightly.
"till all are one jackson." Optimus nodded.
"please keep mum safe from the cons." I requested.
"I shall make sure June is safe, you have my word." Optimus smiled.
"I'll go check on Raf." I smiled, I knew he was off and talking with bumblebee near the dock. I walked outside and towards the dock, Raf and be had taken a canoe out and were pretty good at it really. I noticed percy was sitting on the Beach so I walked over to him.
"Hello percy." I smiled, I feel like an asset for being ruse to him when we first met, turns out a lot of the hunters like him as a bigger brother or father figure, asides Phoebe who blames him for zoe's death.
"OH, hey jack." he replied as he glared at the same blonde girl from the other day, she was making out with some blonde skinny guy.
"What do you have against her? "I asked softly, it was obviously something.
" That's just the girl who won my heart then led me on for a few years and laughed in my face when I proposed to her." percy muttered angerly. "for a daughter of Athena she acts like a love spawn." I knew what he meant, I once knew an aphrodite girl who kept charm speaking me into liking her, when it wore off, let's just say that was the first time I punched a girl.
"well it's her loss man." I shrugged. "You pulled the impossible a few times, according to thalia you once jumped into Tarterus to save her."
"Yeah a look how that turned out." he sighed. Well, shit, mum must of been shocked when this was explained to her. The guy's heart was broken by a girl.
"Come on, let's see if we can get a prank war going against her then? "I asked. I may be responsible and calm, but I do like a good prank. Especially smokescreen's versions of them too. Percy looked up with a smirk and nodded, oh this is going to be so good!
