Poseidon was sitting in his Olympus apartment Damm it all Zeus summoned her so often to this place there was hardly a point in going back home again(not to mention Triton and his wife were…a bit bitchy bout the whole 'standing up for you're kid' thing) . Granted this body made the arguments les violent, mainly because the old pervert tended to zone out if he dropped his gaze to her breast.

"Honestly...where did we make the mistake?" She wondered out laud picking up a set of darts and throwing them at an ember statue of Zeus. The only reason Poseidon had it, was because ember was soft and plastic…and it made the game a lot more interesting to plunge a sharp object in to the aye socket, than just evaporating a photo. " Its like he never grew up…his like a dog that insists on humping everyone's leg.."

"hym I herd Hera use that comparison a billion times" A voice spoke.

"Hermes? Be a bit smarter than you're dad and learn to knock!" The green eyed women snapped.

"I know how, I just decide not to…"The blond smiled showing of his full set of peril whit teeth , he was leaning against a column whit a rather large box in his hands. A box that was ooze acidic blood on to the floor.

"Is there a reason why you're melting a hole in my carpet?"

"Yeh actually there is a reason...I got a package for…'The goddess of Olympus'...really sloppily filled out card…seems any god would do to receive it…mailed by one Percy Jackson "He read out loud from his phone.

Poseidon gulped.

"Did HE see you caring it?"

"Nah…his to preoccupied whit moping that his precious love stick is lost…and by the way I totally believe you didn't take it...sign hear, and hear.." He gave the documents to her and placed the box on a near bay table. Poseidon let out a breath of relief.

"What is it?"

"How am I to know? I don't open…fine... not always, and for the record usually I haw a good reason for it.."

" Like black mail?" The goddess smirked. There was something endearing in his brothers son. Yes he had probably as many illegitimate children as his dad, but than again he was honest in that he never wanted to take an immortal wife, so in a sense the king of thief's, was the one of the most upright men on Olympus. And an hopeless romantic, but that was a secret better guarded then the receipt for Aphrodite mascara. The blonde shrugged his arms whit the most innocent smile he had , the perfect "I broke the window whit my baseball but I'm so sorry" type of face.

"Heh what am I going to do whit you…open the box before it melts true the table...I can see you're curiosity is killing you." The sea queen waved her elegant hand. Hermes abided whit glee turning his staff in to a knife and peering inside…"Wow this was a good call.."

"What…what is it?" Poseidon came closer, the blond retched in and pulled out a bloodied disheveled head of medusa. Her golden ayes flashing angrily rolling a round the room as if she was stile alive, lips parted in the last angry scram.

"Oh…oh Percy…" Poseidon bowed his head in shame, taking the grim trophy from Hermes's hands he cleaned it, closed the ayes and lips. Chuckling he sat down on his sofa. Medusa seamed…almost peaceful now. How long ago was he privileged enough to see the princes sleeping by his side, after a night of love making? Guilt washed over him.

"Hey uncle...everything alight?"

"Don't you sometimes think…that...what we do to out kids and lovers is cruel? Maybe it's the chromos talking but...I can help just to be biter…she wouldn't haw tried to kill my child if not for me using her in the past. And the worst part is I was neither capable of saving her nor can I help Percy…all thaws close to us , hate us in the end, often morphed it to bests and monsters …lovers, wife, children.." She wisped cresting the snake like hair . Hermes set down next to her and summoned a pitcher of vine.

"It was suppose to be for Dionysus...but its not like he can use it so...want a drink?"

"I wont say no.."

"Percy doesn't hate you…she doesn't know you…for all its worth I think...he/she wants to believe that you love her in some way…I'm envious. You know? " He said whit a biter laugh at the end ,purring her and himself a full glass. "She gives you a chance and while she's undoubtedly pis*** at you" Poseidon cringed at tows words "She tries to believe in the best and most of all she appreciates you're…'solidarity' so to speak…Luke on the other hand…I cud give him my gouged out left aye so he would see all…and he would still despise my very existence"

Poseidon looked at her nephew, for the very first time really looked. The boy seamed older more worn down and sad as he spoke of his favorite child. Like underneath the golden shell of immortality there was still a human soul, old and weary.

"Is...I don't want to marry so I can't hurt my lovers and wife but the truth is...the more I like someone the worst it ends. I'm trying to be a good dad, a dad I never had but…you know...its not easy I men…for one the role models in this place suck. And then theirs that stupid rule bout not interfering…yada yada yada.."

"You constantly brake rules "

"Yeh I do" He smiled again ,but that turned into a frown in a second" But not often enough it seems… Luke needed me...SHE needed me…and I cud beryl lift a dam winged sandal to help"

"To be fair Zeus was watching you rather intensely at that time..."

"So what? His and idiot outsmarting him shod be easier than out smarting Apollo…"

"hym...ill do you a favor and I will not repeat that …to any one...".The blond just smiled shortly, thanking her wordlessly. "But wait you saved my brothers ass from Hera more times than I can count, doesn't that give you some special benefits whit daddy dearest?"

He laughed out loud.

"As if! Its like I shooed be grateful to take care of his sperm stained pants uh…why…how…what is happening whit me dam it.. I use to be the prince of lies, the god of thefts, master of medicine...now I'm bumped down to the god of unpaid personal assistants/ intern!"

Ouh so the kid finally got it. The elder god rely felt sympathy towards him now, and at the same time embarrassment that his just as engrossed in denial as his father.

"Wheel...maybe it's time you start out sourcing…there is a lot of nymphs and spirits that can do the job."

"Eh maybe..."He said shrugging his arms, he liked his job it was interesting. And if there was one big minus of eternal life it was boredom. They sat in silence for a few long moments both of them hawing purged there anger , now feeling emotionally naked and embarrass.

"Soo...you want me to dispose of it? The head I men.."

"No...Medusa will stay whit me for now, and letter we shall see.."

"Okay.."

" Pour me a another glass will you?"

"Key.."

Poseidon groaned out loud...how long was it sync he acutely drunk himself to unconsciousness. She tried to recall how many bottles of wine ambrosia, vodka and hell knows what ells he drunk, just out of curiosity to see if his alcohol tolerance changed whit gender. But nop round 76 bottle counting just stopped,. The goddess tried to move but something was pressing down at her, something big, warm and hidden in her cleavage

'I wonder if I'm still a virgin…was I a virgin to start whit?" So many stupid and irrelevant question , ones that rune a round his head in a sickening fast pace.

"Hermes…get up.."

There was a unpronacebel sound.

"Get up" She repeated, receiving the same answer.

"Fine...then role of to the side…"

It toke him a few tries but eventual the blond just fell to the side and rolled until his head was hidden in a fluffy pillow to a point where only the tip of the blond mop was visible. Yawning and sitting up Poseidon smiled to himself seeing that here clothes, all do disheveled were stile in place.

"Good boy…"

There came a knocking.

"Go away !"

Hermes groaned the yelling did not help. Poseidon rolled her ayes and picked up her pillow to cover the tip of his nephews head . He toke it whit enthusiasm pressing his hand down on it. The knocking came beck and this time louder and strong. No servant would dear ignore his order. Hymf…a family member then…perhaps Aphrodite? Finally ready to apologize and free both her and his son of this curs. Smiling she stood and straightened up her clothes, fixed her hear not a lot…let them think what they want, whit a elegant flicker of her writ the room was freshened up completely, except the bed and the bundle of hangover ridden pain on it.

"What?" She opened the door aggressively, excepting the blond goddess, she got a blond…but it wasn't a women, even if he had bitchy modes.

"Brother?...To what do I owe the…pleasure?" Poseidon blinked looking at Zeus suspiciously.

"Ah I wanted to simply see if…you're problem was resolved."

"No offense but I positive you haw an argument scheduled for us in the afternoon..."Rolling her ayes the woman was about to slam the door. To her surprise the thundered placed his foot in between , not so subtly forcing Poseidon to open the door again.

"A bout that, I was wandering, perhaps we shoed take our…discussion in to a privet setting?"

A few moments after that proposition went in complete silence, you cud hear a pin drop. Poseidon's lips started twitching nervously before she exploded whit hysterical laughter.

"Uh what...what is so funny uncle?" Came a voice behind her back, and she froze. Oh…this was awkward.
