So here we are with chapter 2. Unlike most of my stories this fic has fairly short chapters. So I won't be answering reviews in the chapters until they pick up length. If you have any questions leave them in a review and I'll pm you.
Though I have made a facebook page dedicated to my writing. Please check it out. Just search Demonic Hope and it will pop up.
Disclaimer: I don't own Theseus or the Gods or Percy Jackson.
Review please. Next update will be January 8th.
The brother's pulled up in front of Percy's apartment to see a beautiful orange Camaro parked outside. Theseus's shut the Barracuda off and glanced at Triton. "How are we playing this?"
"The truth. He must know who Dad is if he defeated a Fury."
"I meant how are we grabbing the kid. He's not just gonna jump in the car with strangers. For all he knows we are monsters."
Triton shrugged. "I don't know. You're the demigod so you know how his mind works. So go get him."
"Seriously? What are you gonna do?"
Triton blinked at him. "I'm a God. I don't have to do anything. That's why we have you annoying little demigods. Now run along." Triton yawned and settled back in his seat.
Smirking Theseus slid from the car and snagged his sword out of the back seat and buckled it to his belt, just in case before he examined himself in the Barracuda's side mirror. He fixed his hair making sure it was just ruffled enough to look sexy before walking up to the house. He wanted to make a good impression. He reached out and pulled the screen door open, debating if he should knock when the sound of yelling reached his ears. Not even thinking about checking to see if the door was locked Theseus raised his foot and kicked it in. Rushing inside he saw his younger brother being shouted at by a huge, smelly, man. The same one from the pictures. The one that had put those bruises on his precious baby brother. He didn't hesitate as he pushed the small boy behind him and blocked him from sight with his own body. The sound of the ocean roared in his ears as he attacked not caring about what was going on, only thinking of killing the man who had harmed his little brother.
"Get the fuck away from him." Theseus snarled drawing his blade not caring what the fuck the mortal saw but knowing it couldn't be something pleasant from the way the man's eyes widened. He honestly didn't care since his blade was useless against a mortal. Instead he pulled back his arm and punches hearing the very satisfying crunch of the man's nose. The man screamed in pain but that was nothing. Theseus watched the man double over only to grab the back of his head and bring his knee up to bash into the man's face repeatedly.
He only stopped when he heard a woman scream. He blinked innocently as he saw Perseus with his back against the wall and the woman he recognized as Sally in the doorway. Theseus waved one blood covered hand. "Um... hi."
"Get out or I'm calling 911." Sally threatened.
"Sorry can't. I'm here for the kid. So just hand him over and I'll leave." Theseus pointed at Perseus with his sword.
"Get out!" The woman shouted again and Thes sighed rolling his eyes as he stepped forward.
"Fine! Gods, this is why I went gay. Woman telling me to get out of things. "Theseus get your dick out of my sister's mouth. Theseus get your dick out of my mother. Theseus get the dildo out of your ass, blah blah blah." Theseus muttered as he stalked forward, sheathing his blade as he went. The woman backed away from Theseus and the demigod smirked as he shifted his body to guide her into an open door that lead into a coat closet. The instant the woman backed into the closet he grabbed the door and swung in shut, quickly securing the lock.
"Don't hurt my Mom. Please." A soft voice asked and Theseus turned and smiled as he saw little Perseus staring at him.
"Hiya little brother. It's time to go." Theseus grabbed Percy ignoring his scream and slung the kid over his shoulder. Perseus beat at his back and kicked and screamed but Theseus ignored it as he walked to the idling Barracuda. Triton's eyes widened as he spotted his brothers.
"Theseus! What did you do?" Triton asked as Thes tossed the kid into the backseat.
"Grabbed the kid obviously." Theseus put the car into drive and stomped on it.
"LET ME GO!" The boy screamed as he hammered at the windows.
"What the hell happened?" Triton asked as he turned and examine his younger brother.
"Not much. Beat the shit out of the dick, locked the Mother in the closet, and grabbed the kid."
"You didn't tell him who you were?"
Theseus blinked. "Ooops."
Cursing Triton twisted in his seat. "Easy, little one. I'm Triton and this fucking idiot is Theseus. We're not here to hurt you. We're your brothers."
"You kidnapped me! And I don't even have brothers. Now let me go!"
"Settle down Perseus." Triton soothed. "We're here to help you."
The fear in the boy's eyes vanished and was replaced by pure anger. "It's Percy. No one calls me Perseus. And you just kidnapped me."
"Fine then Percy. We know what happened at your school. We're here to bring you to safety" Triton rolled his eyes.
"By kidnapping me?" Percy exclaimed.
"Okay, maybe that was a wee bit extreme. But come on, how did you not recognize my hot ass?" Theseus asked.
"I've never met you!"
"Theseus, shut up." Triton shushed. "Just get to our apartment." Glancing at Theseus he spoke quickly and Ancient Greek. "I don't think he knows."
Theseus frowned and switched from English to Greek with ease. "What do you mean? How can he not know? He fought a Fury and won. He has to know."
"Something is wrong Theseus."
"Should we take him to Dad?" Theseus asked worriedly glancing at Percy in the rearview mirror.
"No. We have to deal with this ourselves."
"Are you done talking about me like I'm not here?" Percy asked glaring at them both with his arms crossed.
Triton and Theseus exchanged looks. "You understood that?"
"Duh."
"Well, his Greek side is kicking in if he understood that. Maybe we should find a hot gay guy and toss him at him. See what he does. Really get his Greek side going." Theseus suggested switching back to English with ease.
Percy blinked at him. "What?"
"Nothing. Theseus is just being a pig." Triton glowered at the other Sea Prince. "Now Perseus what do you know about Dad?"
Percy stared at him. "You seriously think we're brothers?"
"Have you looked in the mirror kid? We're nearly identical except I'm far sexier."
"We share the same father." Triton explained glaring at Theseus who blinked innocently. '
"Oh." Percy was quiet a moment. "So umm... we're brothers. I've got two brothers who are kidnappers. Great."
"Aww come on little one, it's great. We are amazing and I can teach you so much about being a true Greek."
"Also known as a sex crazed idiot." Triton pointed out.
"Did you really have to kidnap me?" Percy asked relaxing slightly. Even he could admit the three of them looked like brothers. And they hadn't hurt anyone he liked.
"Theseus has an issue. He's an idiot. I wasn't aware he was kidnapping you. I thought he'd be smart enough to explain. For that I'm sorry." Triton explained.
Theseus spun around to look at Percy. "Yeah. Sorry about scaring you little one. I really didn't mean it. But that guy was in your face and I had to protect you. And I get a little crazy when it comes to my brothers."
Percy blushed as Theseus ruffled his hair. "Um... it's okay. I forgive you. But can I call my mom to let her know I'm okay?"
"Sure. We're about ten minutes from my apartment. You can use the phone there. And your gifts are there! They are fucking awesome! I picked them out myself, well, half of them or maybe a quarter. Let's see we got twelve presents, one for each birthday, sooo... ummm I picked out what, four of them...Tritty what's half of 12?"
"Triton? Is Theseus crazy?" Percy whispered.
The God nodded and patted his head. "Don't worry. I'll protect you."
Percy fell quiet as he studied his brothers. "So ummm... are you guys mad about me?"
"What do you mean little one?" Triton asked.
"Well ummm... I must bring up bad memories. Of Dad..."
"So Dad cheated on Mother again. Big deal. It's not like Mother doesn't cheat all the time." Triton shifted to kick his feet up on the dash.
"I don't mind at all. My mom died ages ago and its not like her and Dad were more than a one night stand. Well actually I was conceived in a threesome one night stand... No wonder I'm so fucking awesome. OWW!" Theseus rubbed his head where Triton had hit it.
"I meant with Dad being dead and all." Percy asked blushing only to yelp as his head went into the back of Theseus's seat. "Oww."
"Who the fuck told you Dad is dead? Because I saw him like an hour ago and he was fine." Theseus asked not even caring his car was blocking three lanes of traffic as he turned to stare at his little brother.
"What? Mom told me..." Percy's eyes instantly were filled with confusion. "He's alive? But..." Percy trailed off looking confused and heartbroken. "Does he not want me? Is that why Mom lied about me?"
"Of course he wants you Percy. And he loves you." Triton sighed. "Damn, I thought you would already know all of this."
"Then why did he never visit? Why did he let me think he was dead?"
Triton climbed into the back seat and rubbed Percy's shoulder. "He loves you little one. He just couldn't raise you. Dad...works for an asshole that would use you to hurt Dad. So he had to keep his distance to keep you safe. But he kept track of you. Honestly little one its hard to explain."
"Does he know you came to find me?" Percy whispered as Theseus finally got tired of the honking horns and pulled the Barracuda off the road.
"Nope. We figured he'd stop us. So we've been sneaking around looking for you." Theseus explained climbing into the backseat so he could sit on the other side of Percy and pull the small boy into a hug. "We had no idea you existed until a month ago. But we do know about the Fury at your school."
"Thes!" Triton warned not wanting to dump too much on Percy at once but the boy was staring at his elder brother with hope.
"I'm not going crazy? Something did attack me?"
"A Fury." Triton hesitated glancing at Thes. "Should we explain or just show him?"
"Show him." Theseus pulled Percy tight against him and scooted as far away from Triton as he could in the narrow space. He closed his own eyes and put a hand over Percy's just as Triton's body began to glow. Percy stayed still in Theseus's arms sensing that he needed to trust his elder brother and he was right.
"It's safe to look now." Triton murmured and Percy opened his eyes only to gasp.
Instead of the handsome young man, a green skinned merman lounged in the backseat. He smiled at Percy baring shark-like teeth.
"Triton?" Percy whispered fearfully as he leaned into Theseus's chest. Thes rubbed his arms.
"It's okay Percy. It's still Triton." Theseus soothed.
Triton flicked his tail playfully tickling Percy under the chin with it. "It's me little one. You are just seeing my true form. I normally stick with my human appearance but I figured my merman would be more helpful for explaining things to you."
Percy blinked. "Triton. Like The Little Mermaid."
Theseus snickered as Triton gritted his teeth. "Yes. That idiot movie was based off of me. Now cover your eyes. I don't want my gills to dry out."
Percy hid his face against Theseus's chest, eyes squeezed tightly shut.
"Okay." Triton whispered touching Percy's shoulder unsure how the boy would react to his touch. But Percy only smiled at him.
"I'm not going crazy."
"Your mother never told you who Dad is?" Theseus asked softly as he ran a hand through Percy's hair. Percy blinked at him.
"No. Why? Is Dad a mermaid thingy to? Can I do that?" Percy asked excitement and curiosity filling those sea-green eyes.
"I am a merman not a mermaid. I have a penis." Triton grumbled but he couldn't help but smile as Percy all but bounced in his seat. "And yes you could do it if you wanted. But it takes a lot of energy and you need to have perfect control over your power to do it. Theseus still can't do it." Triton smirked slightly as Thes flicked his ear.
"What powers? Like the thing I did with Mrs. Dodds?" Percy asked eagerly.
"Powers you get from being Dad's son." Triton explained patiently.
"Like what?
"Controlling water mainly." Theseus leaned forward and snagged a half empty bottle of water from the floor before undoing the cap. "Watch." With total ease he commanded the water to rise out of the bottle and it began to swirl around Percy's head, ruffling the already messy hair, as it formed a watery halo. Percy watching every movement with total fascination "Focus on the water Percy. Think how it feels on your skin, how it tastes. Imagine it bending to your will. See it doing as you wish." Theseus's voice was soft and soothing as he watched Percy close his eyes. Triton stayed silent as he watched Percy chew his bottom lip, his face a mask of concentration. The car was silent except for the purr of the engine and the elder two were loathing to break it as a full minute ticked by before Theseus felt a tug on his powers. Smiling he freed the water from his will only to watch it form into a ball. Percy's eyes opened and he grinned as he stared at the water ball hovering an inch from his nose. Percy grinned. "I did it!"
"I see." Theseus ruffled his hair even as Triton leaned forward to pat his head
"Good job Perseus." Triton yelped as the ball of water flew forward and smacked Triton in the face. The God spluttered spitting out a mouthful of water as he glowered at his younger brother.
"Don't call me Perseus. It's Percy!" Percy glared right back as Theseus snickered.
"I like this one. We are so keeping him." Theseus decided hugging Percy tightly even as Triton wiped the water from his face and reached out to pull Percy onto his lap and tickle the small boy. Theseus smiled fondly at the pair as he climbed back into the front seat and pulled the car back onto the road listening to Percy squealing and begging for mercy between fits of laughter.
"Do. Not. Splash. Me." Triton snarled as he attacked Percy's sides and under his chin with tickles.
"Triton!" Percy gasped trying to squirm free. Triton gave him one last tickle before stopping.
Gasping for breath, Percy gave his brother a half-hearted glare before sticking his tongue out. "Meanie."
"I'm your big brother. I'm allowed to be mean." Triton messed up Percy's hair earning another dirty look from Percy.
"Thes! Triton is picking on me!" Percy whined
"Toss him out the window then." Theseus suggested as he watched Triton try and grab for Percy only for the smaller boy to easily slip into the front seat. Rolling his eyes Theseus pulled the car into a parking garage more then use to driving with two of his siblings bickering around him. He pulled his Barracuda into its parking spot before killing the engine.
"We're home if you two are done." Theseus commented getting out of the car and holding the seat forward so Triton could climb out. Percy had already bounced out of the other door and hurried over to his siblings. Theseus draped an arm over his shoulders.
"So we'll call your mother and then you can open your presents." Triton told him as he lead the way into the elevator and pressed the up button. Percy was bouncing in place as they waited. He kept peeking at his brothers from beneath that mess of black hair.
"Triton? Theseus?" He asked softly.
"Yes, little one?" Triton asked running a hand through Percy's hair as they stepped into the elevator. When Percy didn't reply he glanced at the boy and saw that Percy was fidgeting and gnawing on his lower lip.
"He wants to know if he can meet Dad." Theseus answered for his younger brother.
Percy's eyes widened as he looked up. "How?"
"I was the same when I was your age." Theseus ruffled his hair. "And we'll take you to see Dad soon."
Triton frowned shooting Theseus a look but his brother was too focused on messing Percy's hair up to notice him.
"So do you want to open my presents first? They are way awesome." Theseus told Percy.
"You don't even know what I got him."
"I don't need to know bro. I just know that I am fucking amazing and therefore my gifts are too." Theseus grinned and reached down and picked Percy up.
The boy squeaked and squirmed. "Put me down!" Percy demanded.
"Nope. You are too cute and little to not carry around." Theseus ignored Percy's attempts to break free.
"Tritty!" Percy whined but his elder brother only ruffled his hair.
"This is why we don't splash our big brothers. They won't save you from being carried around like a big baby." Triton patted his head as the doors slid open. A short hallway carpeted in shades of blue and green lead down to a single door of what appeared to be driftwood. Carved into the door was a beautiful Trident behind a rearing Pegasus. Percy studied it curiously as Triton unlocked the door.
"Now we have some rules before we enter." Triton told his brother, blocking the door.
Percy and Theseus both whined but Triton gave them a firm look as he grabbed Percy's chin and forced his brother to look at him.
"First, you do not leave the apartment without one of us. Second, do not touch any of the weapons until we teach you to use them."
"You guys have weapons? What are you, well besides kidnappers?" Percy asked his eyes wide with curiosity.
"Extremely sexy guys." Theseus piped in only to be silenced by Triton's glare.
"Third, we are going to have to leave for part of the day. You are to stay in the apartment, do not open the doors or windows, do not answer the phone, do not answer the door."
"Wait? What if it's one of my boyfriends?" Theseus asked.
"YOU TOLD YOUR BOYFRIENDS ABOUT OUR APARTMENT?" Triton roared turning on his younger brother who blinked and set Percy on the floor.
"Umm... maybe..."
"I spent YEARS warding this place so we had a safe place that not even Dad knows about! And you are letting your boyfriends in? Do you realize how hard I worked on this place?"
"I was horny and Pithy wouldn't let me fuck him in the middle of the street so I had to take him somewhere!" Theseus blinked innocently.
"That isn't the point! No one but us was supposed to know about this place!"
Theseus snorted. "Relax. I doubt Pithy even remembers the place, I fucked him so hard."
"That isn't the fucking point Theseus! We swore we weren't going to allow anyone into this place."
Theseus pointed at Percy who was staring at them both like he thought they were crazy. "We let Percy in."
"He's our brother! He wouldn't go running to his fucking father and rat us out." Triton growled as he stepped forward. Theseus's hands came up and shoved his brother away.
"Pirithous would NEVER betray me. He's always had my back. Unlike you." Theseus grabbed Percy's hand and dragged his silent younger brother into the apartment behind him.
Percy gasped as he took in the massive apartment. The near and far walls were painted black while the adjacent walls were eggshell in coloration along with the ceiling. Huge windows with black trim took up most of the far wall and the wall to his right. The room was L-shaped and he could see the sharp corner but before that corner a large black piano sat and right beyond it right in the corner of the room a white couch faced the wall and the fireplace inside the wall which had a large flat-screen TV mounted above it.
Percy would have taken more time to study the room if running footsteps hadn't caught his attention. He glanced over just in time to see a boy, maybe a year or so younger than himself come flying around the corner and fling himself into Theseus's arms with a screech of "Daddy!"
