Chapter 4: The Damn Questions Continue

[Nico Point of view]

My day just keeps getting more and more interesting with each minute. First, I get attacked by crazy Cyclops, get saved by a 7 year old girl with a glowing pill, and now we are finding out that there is another camp for demigods.

Damn. The universe and all its karma shit needs to stop. I mean demigods shouldn't get karma we didn't do anything wrong…I think. Right?

I'm also shocked to find out that I have another sister. Another one! And she's well mad!

Okay I'll complain later, on with our present complication on life.

So basically, there are three other children each from the Big Three and apparently they have been helping us throughout the wars. To be honest, I don't believe them but then I heard what Travis, Conner, and Rachel were saying.

"Conner, did you hear that?"

"Yeah I did bro. They are telling the truth. Right?"

"I think so unless they are really good liars."

Rachel rolled her eyes and whispered, "No they are telling the truth. I can tell."

Travis and Conner looked at Rachel. She nodded.

Both of the Stolls looked at the three demigods with awe and curiosity.

Anyway, I'm gonna tell you what I think of this…annoying situation.

I do not like it.

Why? Because I need to find out why the Cyclops were speaking crazy when I … met them and also why those three demigods also know the exact weird language the Cyclops were speaking.

"How do you guys help us…subtly?" Percy asked annoyed and a little sarcastic. Which makes me shiver because I'm trying to forget the guy.

That Diana girl responded with just the same annoyance and maybe a little more sarcasm than Percy. "Well during the prepare stages of the enemies' evil plan or whatever. We analyze the situation and create simulations of the possible outcomes of any quests you guys take during the stages."

Kay continued, "After we study the simulations. We chose the best simulation of the quest or situation of the problem you guys are in."

Jonathan spoke with such a demanding and leadership voice, "Of course to do these things, we get a glimpse of the future to do so."

Annabeth and Athena both asked, "How do you peer into the future?"

Diana shook her head, "Sorry. All specific information which makes our camp run must stay a secret."

"But," Kay said with an amused gleam in her eye, "we can tell you the worst outcome of the Titan war…if you want, of course."

Jonathan and Diana looked at her with a look that basically says "Don't you dare!"

And she faced back "Watch me."

I can tell that my dear sister tends to cause trouble within the group…which is very odd and amusing in an evil way….but hey don't judge me, you know my father.

Zeus smirked and says, "How bad can it be?"

Diana and Jonathan literally looked at him as if he was a child and to tell him not to encourage her…like she was the tantrum toddler.

Kay smiled, "One word: Eternal."

Athena frowned, "Eternal what?"

Kay grinned, "Oh you know…grandpa's favorite thing to do to people he doesn't like."

"Kill?"

"Poison?"

"Eat?"

"Force them to do embarrassing stuff?"

Kay shook her head, "Very good guesses, but no."

Diana and Jonathan both yelled, "Don't tell them Kay!"

Kay frowned innocently, "Why not?"

Diana rolled her eyes, "Because you know the consequences."

Jonathan nodded, "Please Kay. Maybe later, okay?"

Kay grinned and nodded.

I looked at her and I know what she is doing. Of course she wasn't going to tell she just reeled in her friends to tell her to not tell us which also got our curiosity levels breaking the scales. She may be my sister but I can tell she has gotten experience playing people like puppets.

Zeus yelled, "No. You are to tell me this instant what is the worst scenario!"

"No Zeus. You do not understand if she tells you… everyone here well hate themselves for it….and she knows that." Jonathan explained.

Zeus frowned, "You are to call me father, boy."

Jonathan chuckled, "Do you call me son? No so I'm not calling you father."

Ares was laughing, "I like you demigods. Got spunk. I want to meet my kids at this camp."

Jonathan was now laughing so hard he was tearing up, "Yeah okay. You'll like 'em."

Travis, unusually, asked a question, "What kind of divisions are you guys in charge of?"

Reyna nodded. "Good question. Son of Mercury."

Travis grinned at the comment.

Jonathan cleared his throat and began to explain. "Okay well our divisions are really broad and we have subdivisions but that will take forever to explain. The first division is like the division dealing with stuff like the government but for our camp. I deal with war, the well being of the camp, and I'm also, oddly, in charge with official alliances."

Athena nodded. "Very broad."

Octavian scoffed, "Please. A Greek with all that power is terrible. Should be a Roman."

Diana nodded, "He is Roman."

Everyone in the room froze.

Clarisse bellowed, "What do you mean? Zeus is Greek?"

"Oh I didn't mean biologically. Children are trained oppositely in a way. Kay can you explain."

Kay nodded at Diana, "For example, Diana is Roman. So Roman traits and abilities come naturally to her of course. So, at our camp, Roman demigods are taught Greek ways and vice versa."

Athens nodded hesitantly, "Is it as a way to combine both Roman and Greek aspects of the gods?"

Diana said, "Nope."

Kay nodded, "We are taught that way as to be flexible on any mission we are called on. If we need Greek or Roman planning our ideas, it both comes to us when we need it."

Jonathan nodded, "During the Titan war, the Greeks of our camp went to the Roman side to help because switching from Roman to Greek on the enemy," Jonathan laughs, "freaks them out thinking they are fighting both Greeks and Romans."

Chris nodded approvingly, "Gathering knowledge from many places to aid you in battle."

Athena and Ares looked at the Hermes boy in shock.

Chris frowned, "What? I listen to Clarisse's war talk, okay!"

Clarisse blushed and kissed his cheek.

Ares glared at Chris, while Hermes looked with a little pride and shock.

Well I don't blame the guy. A Hermes and Ares kid dating? Weird combination.

I looked at Jonathan and his eyes widened and he looked away. I mean other than Jason and Cupid no else know that…I'm gay. (A/N I love that idea of Nico is gayJRick Riordan is a genius for that!)

Other than Percy, I haven't seen another guy in … that kind of way. But this guy Jonathan caught my eye; I think I got his eye too since he keeps looking over here.

Nah. Maybe he is wondering if I'm like my crazy sister over there. And he's waiting for that moment where I say some crazy thing like calling the Fates grandma…

"Wait," I said I raised my hand like a high five, "Kay, why did you call the Fates 'grandma'?"

Kay looked towards my way and grinned, "Well you guys had other guardians or whatever, but I had them when I was 7."

Chris scrunched his eyebrows, "But why?"

Kay tilt her head and looked at her two friends who shrugged, "Well…I cannot tell you that."

"Trust us. Secrecy is how we function and if we told our secrets then we cannot function as we can." Jonathan explained.

I sigh. To be honest I really think that Jonathan is very handsome. Oh no…I need to stop. He might not be even…..gay. Damn it all, my life sucks.

"Okay…" Rachel says sarcastically, "So what are the other divisions?"

Diana thought about it and replied, "I guess my division is just as broad but you think of us as people who gather new information and add it to our camp library and such. Oh and the well being of our camp…that basically summarizes but there are a lot of exceptions and overlapping but it gets sorted out by then."

Athena nodded , "A library. What kind of information?"

"All kinds from the ages before the gods to the weakness of the gods to the monster biology to magic… our library have a lot of information. I mean I have like 15 librarians to sort out and arrange that huge ass library."

"Oops sorry for my language."

The Gods looked scared, "Our weaknesses?"

Diana nodded, "They are kept in an airtight security room….somewhere."

"HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW?!" Zeus yelled.

Diana shrugged, "That's in Kay's jurisdiction."

Everyone except Jonathan looked at Kay with shock and fear.

Jason raises his hand, "You trust a psycho like her with that type of information?"

Diana and Jonathan both laughed so hard that there were tears rolling down their faces.

Jonathan calmed down, "Of course. Because she would never want the gods taken down by such type of information…right Kay?"

Kay looked at Jonathan grinning angerly, " Are you kidding?! If those documents were stolen it would tarnish my name as the loser chick who could have lost the world to a bunch of bloodlust monsters and their freaky-ass leader or whatever!"

"I would rather go back to that place before letting that happening."

Diana and Jonathan looked at her then turned to the crowd.

Hermes asks Kay, "Why would it tarnish your name?"

Kay rolled her eyes, "I'm basically in charge of my camp's security. I'm like the head of the law enforcement and peacekeeper to my camp."

Travis nodded, "Basically, you guys are like the cops?...gross."

Kay shock her head, "My partner would lose his head if he heard that."

"Why?"

"Because… I employ thieves to do some of the work. And besides we are more like the Mafia type of group."

Hades smiled, "Mafia huh?"

"Yup. I'm part of the underground." Kay said trying not to laugh.

"It's okay. I'm the boss of the underground."

I shook my head in disbelief, "I've been living the underground life."

Everyone else froze in shock. Probably thinking why the hell Hades and his kids talking about the damn underground.

Hades, Kay, and I smirked at the same time and laughed menacingly about the underground reference.

Of course, Zeus and Poseidon looked at their brother like he had lost what sanity he has to this underground reference.

Grover raises his hand, scared as hell, "Ummm…Kay. Why do you say 'what the meat'?"

Kay looked at Grover and smiled, "Easy. I'm a vegetarian."

Reyna raises an eyebrow at Kay, Kay noticed so she explained, "Let's just say I had a few encounters with evil meat that I sure as hell never gonna let happen again."

Diana and Jonathan stare at Kay and shrugged in response. I think it's a sign saying 'we don't know what she is saying only that she is serious about not eating meat.'

Grover said, "Cool!"

Kay smiled.

Ares grinned, "Why don't you like it though?"

Kay's face grew darker, "I hate how it feels in my mouth."

Everyone looks confused even Apollo.

Conner looked at her and saw that she didn't want to talk about it so he said, "Well whatever Miss Kay."

Conner gasped and laughed so hard he started to tear up.

Hermes looked at his son. "What is wrong Conner?"

Conner wiped a tear and sang, "Every Kiss begins with Kay." He pointed to Kay.

People who knew Conner either laughed along or face palmed.

Diana and Jonathan froze, looked at each other, and looked at Kay.

All three of them were frozen in their tracks from what Conner has said.

Travis noticed and asked, "Why are you guys acting like you guys saw a ghost?"

Diana grinned and laughed so hard she was having a hard time breathing. Jonathan was also laughing just as hard. However Kay stood there…..blushing.

Conner noticed and waggled his eyebrows at her and said, "Why you blushing baby?"

Jonathan dropped to the floor dying. Diana is crying from laughter.

Hades looked confused, "And why are you laughing so hard?"

Travis looked annoyed, "It wasn't even that funny."

Percy nodded.

Diana calmed down but still a little red in the face. "Because that jingle was made for Kay."

"WHAT?!" There was a squeal from Aphrodite.

Conner looked confused, "Wait. Who made it."

Jonathan grinned, "It was this guy was our age. He used to say that to Kay all the time and his father used that same jingle to create the store KAY."

Diana added, "That businessman always jokes about it with Kay. His son moved on but his girlfriends always get jealous of Kay."

Kay, still blushing, said, "It gets on my nerves with those random chicks."

Conner smirked, "I like that phrase."

Poseidon asks his daughter, "So that's why you guys were laughing?"

Diana shook her head.

Jonathan said, "We were laughing because no matter how much Kay denies it."

Diana added, "She will always.."

Jonathan continued, "like.."

Kay said, "Say one word and 3 files goes out."

Both Diana and Jonathan froze looking scared and also amused at the fact that their friend was feeling harassed.

I said, "Anyways…"

Jonathan turned my way and smiled, "Do you have any questions?"

I kept my cool and said, "Well, what language do you guys speak?"

All three of the demigods froze. Jonathan smiled, "It's the oldest form of Greek that was used in the Titan age."

Diana nodded, "We use it because its quicker."

Kay smiled, "Also that fact that we were taught it before the ancient Greek that you know."

I nodded but I see that Jonathan kept looking at me.

Clarisse looked at Diana, "So you're Prissy sister."

"Yup."

"So, can all three of you let us see your weapons."

Diana smiled, "She pulled out a spear. A Sea green spear with a golden tip."

Ares smiled at that.

Jonathan pulled out a golden blade that had blue engravings on the blade.

Kay pulled out two black bladed hunter knifes.

Artemis smiled at that.

Clarisse nodded, approvingly.

Percy asked his sister, "Why do you use a spear?"

"Because I like the long range."

Apollo asked, "So where is your camp?"

All three looked puzzled. Kay shrugged, "We don't know."

Athena and Annabeth looked annoyed, "What do you mean?"

"I mean our camp has security procedures. It moves on its own."

Frank asks, "Then how do you get back?"

Kay answered, "Easy a camper teleports to us and then we teleport back with them or they open the gate…same thing."

Chris shook his head, "Why is it all complicated?"

Diana shrugged, "I don't know it's always been like that."

Jonathan nodded.

Hazel gasped. "Hold on. I just remembered. Why are we here in the first place?"

Absolute silence.

Kay just yelled, "GRANDMAS!"

Jonathan scratched his head, "Really?"

Diana faced palmed, "Wtf? I didn't even noticed?"

Hestia softly answered, "Is it because the third camp can get acquainted with the other twoo camps?"

Everyone took in the answer.

Diana shook her head. "No. That's not it. However I will say this, the fact that the Fates wishes for the two camps to be aware of us…then the third prophecy is going to come true but it might be too much for the two camps to take."

Jonathan nodded, "It does make the most sense. I mean our camp exist to aid our demi-siblings in the shadows."

Kay continued, "Exactly. If we, the back-up, have to come into the light to help out after thousands of years of operating in the shadows could only mean…"

I finished my deranged sister's sentence, "That whatever we are coming up against is just that difficult and twice as life-threatening."
