Summary: This is an AU-story, but it's not a total AU. It still takes place in a universe with the Roman and Greek gods, all the characters we know and love are still children of their representative godly parents. But the two Great Prophecies never happened, none of the two wars happened and instead of visiting separated summer camps, all half-bloods live in a sheltered safe haven called Olympolis, where they actually live pretty normal lives with going to school, shopping, everything you need to be a regular teenager. If a demigod decides to live in Olympolis, they get to stay in special apartment buildings, where demigods live in rooming arrangements with each other. The city is protected by the magic of the gods, just as camp borders are. And aside from the average quest now and then, they actually live in peace.
At least until now.
A threat – older and more powerful than the Giants or Titans – emerges as the children of the oldest deity fight. The gods wish to keep out of the fight between Hemera and Nyx, but the older deities want to pull the demigods into their fight, to use them in their war. At first, no one is worried, because the demigods are safe in Olympolis. But then Poseidon and Pluto admit each having another child out there. So the four children of the Big Three, who already are living in Olympolis, are send out with the most powerful demigods of the city to search for those two forgotten half-bloods. What dangers and adventures await them? And can love bloom in the middle of a war?

5. The Diamond, the Beauty Queen and the Accountant
There was one thing Percy could agree on. This was better than tea time. He moaned loudly as the blonde Brit hit his prostate over and over again. This was the part of his job that he loved. His costumers weren't the disgusting, fat drinkers that wouldn't be able to get someone without paying for them. His costumers were the rich men that needed distraction from their work or their wives and paid for the secrecy. Much to Percy's enjoyment they were mostly very good looking. And he really enjoyed sex. It would be nice to sleep with someone who was actually having feelings for him, yes, but he couldn't have everything, he supposed. So for now, this must be enough.
"Ha—arder", moaned the green-eyed boy blissfully.
"Your wish is my command", growled the blonde, his accent even thicker.
Cunning fingers were playing with Percy's nibbles as teeth started to torture his neck. The Brit's thrusts were hard and fast, hitting target and stimulating Percy's sensitive inner walls. The blue eyes sparkled with lust and desire, as far as Percy could judge this looked like another pleased customer. The blonde growled into Percy's ear as he chocked the Diamond's dick with his hands, jerking it vigorously. Groaning in pleasure, Percy pushed up into the touch until he came. The man above him huffed at the tightening feeling of Percy clenching down on him and ejaculated as he was seated as deep within the boy as possible. Panting hard, the blonde slowly pulled out. Collapsing on the bed, right next to Percy, the Brit peeled the condom off and tied it.
"Whatever Rachel paid for you, you are worth every penny", grunted the blonde, licking his lips.
"Thank you", grinned Percy like a Cheshire cat and stretched some.
He was staying there, letting the blonde Brit caress his hair and neck until his customer was sound asleep. Over the years, Percy had perfected the art of sneaking out of the bed and getting dressed without waking the customers. Dressed again, he got out of the room and tiptoed down the stairs. Leaving the bedrooms for services behind, he could already hear the music from the club. But instead of heading there, he turned toward the backrooms. The quarters of the employes.
"Hey, girls!", grinned Percy as he entered the locker rooms.
His fellow dancers were all present. His sisters by heart. There was Silena Beauregard, the gorgeous French girl with the long, for now blonde hair (she loved dying her hair). The oldest of their group, kind of the mother to them all. Always tending to their broken hearts or little troubles with a soft smile and just the right words. She was sitting there, wearing a pink, short dress and combing her hair. Next to her sat the second oldest of them, Drew Tanaka, the beautiful Asian of their group. Her black hair was braided tightly, she was wearing a school-girl dress and giving Percy a dismissively wave as greeting. Piper McLean, their native American girl of choice with her blue strands in her brunette hair and the falcon feathers braided into it, was talking animatedly with Calypso Nightshade, their chosen brunette around here. The two youngest, Lacy Hunnigan and Mitchell Logan, were playing some kind of card-game. She was the younger Silena, the other blonde between them. And he was the other side of Percy. Percy was lean and muscular, but certainly not too muscular, he still needed to appeal to men, after all (or that was what their 'boss' had said), but Mitchell was the fine, soft and feminine boy, small and shy. They had something for everyone – native American, Asian, with French accent, blonde, brunette, black-haired, feminine boy and him, the star, the 'perfect choice', as most of his customers claimed.
"How was your latest customer?", asked Piper as she looked up at him.
"Good", purred Percy and licked his lips. "A British gentleman with blonde hair."
"Oh, he always loves the blondes", snorted Drew and rolled her eyes.
"And the ones with accents", giggled Calypso amused.
"I'll go and hit the showers", smiled Percy and waved at them.
Piper stood abruptly and walked over to the green-eyed boy. "I'll come with you. Could use a shower too after that last one... Besides, it's been a while since we last had some time for some girls talk, just you and me, Perce."
The native American grinned and wrapped one arm around Percy's shoulders. They, Drew and Calypso were about the same age, between eighteen and twenty. So the four of them spend much time together. Percy nodded in agreement, laying one arm around her waist. As they entered the big shower room, he had his head rested against her shoulder.
"So, what's bothering you, Beauty Queen?", teased the green-eyed boy.
"Nothing is bothering me!", huffed the native American, ruffling his hair. "I just really need a shower. I'm so sick of this whole... place. Of everything."
"Says the one who never actually sleeps with the guys", snorted Percy amused. "Because you manage to 'sweet talk' them into going and paying without fucking. Why ever."
"Because I don't like guys", shrugged Piper awkwardly and got undressed. "Help me with the bra."
"A girl that can't open her own bra", joked the green-eyed boy. "But you being gay wasn't what I meant. I meant, how you get those men to go without demanding the paid-for intercourse."
"I don't know", shrugged Piper thoughtful. "Never thought about it. My dad used to say, always stay grateful for the things life gives you and don't question them, because the good things will falter way too early then."
"Suppose that's true", nodded Percy slowly and shed his robe. "But... if you're so sick of this place, then why do you stay? I mean, he is not your step-father. You can go, if you want."
"I could, probably", agreed Piper, opening her braids to get the feathers out before showering. "When I started working here, it was because I needed the money. Because I wanted to start my own life, not in the shadow of my dad. Now I'm staying because of you guys. You've grown to me like a second family. I couldn't abandon you."
"You're so sweet", chimed Percy and leaned in to kiss her cheek. "My ruffian girl."
They entered two shower cabins next to each other. Turning the water on, Percy sighed in relief. Even if he had customers that weren't satisfying for him, that he couldn't stand, the shower afterwards would always turn everything better. Water gave him strength, Drew used to roll her eyes at that and tell him that it was just that refreshing and clean feeling it gave him. But he would take bets that it was more, it was physical strength, he could feel it. Even though he knew it sounded crazy. Then again, there was scarcely anything in his life that didn't sound crazy.
"It's funny, though", chuckled Piper after a little while. "I left home and started working here, because I needed the money to get my life started. To head out into the world and find a family, a place of my own with people I'd love and who would love me. In the end, I didn't have to leave this place at all, because the people I love are all here."
"Don't you miss... more?", frowned Percy, turning to glare at the wall separating them. "I mean, I love you guys too. You're the family I haven't had since my mom died and Leo moved out... But... don't you want love, real love? True love?"
"Who says I don't have that here?", Percy could hear the smile in her voice.
"You know I will be assuming that you're secretly banging Drew until you tell me what's really going on", warned Percy with a smile of his own. "Anyway, love isn't the only thing. I mean, you could see the world. Everything. Every place. Don't you want to see it?"
"No. I mean, sure, the world certainly is interesting, but... I'm content here. Someone has got to watch out for Lacy and Mitchell and has to keep you and Drewsie entertained", replied Piper. "Say, what brings all of this on, all of a sudden? That's so unlike you."
"There were those... two guys, earlier. Those two hot guys. Not that that matters now, I mean, they were talking about stuff, secret stuff. It sounded adventurous", whispered Percy wistfully.
"Adventurous?", snorted Piper amused. "You're a weird one, Jackson."
Percy smiled softly at the affectionate nickname. It had been his mother's maiden name. His girls always used it to remind him that he wasn't bound to his stepfather. That there was something good, had been something good in his life.
"I just... dream of the ocean and the beach and adventures", shrugged Percy with a sigh. "It's not my fault Annie keeps bringing those fantasy books with her and forcing me to read..."
"I'll talk to her about that", grunted Piper, obviously still amused. "So you want adventure? Why don't you run away then? I mean, he had the legal right to get you collected when you were underage, but if I recall that blurry night two months ago correctly, you're off-age. You're free to leave and live as you please. Why do you stay here?"
Percy opened his mouth to answer, just to close it again with a frown. Why was he staying? Maybe because he was too used to it by now. To living here, to being controlled by Gabe. Or maybe because he loved his little family just as much as Piper did.
"I don't want to be alone", whispered Percy, sounding all like the broken, little boy he had been when his mom had passed away. "I don't want to be alone..."
"Well duh, dumbo", chuckled Piper, turning the water off and walking over to his cabin. "Every hero in every book goes on adventures in a group. The hero always leaves with the awesome sidekick and the hot girl. I think I'd make a pretty awesome sidekick, wouldn't you agree?"
She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and nudged him affectionately. Percy snorted slightly and turned the water off. The two of them left the showers to get towels from the shelves opposite the shower cabins. Drying off, they walked back into the locker room.
"Beckendorf! You know you're not supposed to be in here!", chided Piper and threw her towel.
It hit the dark-skinned, broad-shouldered man square in the face, even though their bodyguard/bouncer tried to hide behind his girlfriend. Silena laughed softly, patting his head. Percy smiled nostalgically as he went over to his locker to pick his jeans and shirt out. If Silena was their mother, Charles Beckendorf was their protective dad. Percy took a moment to stare at them fascinated. Especially Lacy and Mitchell had latched onto the couple, seeking their protection and guidance. Drew and Calypso were laughing at their childish antics. Getting fully dressed, Percy left the locker room without another word, avoiding getting their attention. He tiptoed over to the offices and sneaked into the one labeled with Accountant. A blonde girl was sitting there, hunched over a broad, dark desk, deeply concentrated. Her hair was put up into a bun, black-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, a gray blouse and gray trousers completing the wallflower look the girl had going on. Percy smiled to himself as he cautiously walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, resting his chin on top of her head. She jumped slightly in surprise before turning to glare at him, pushing her glasses up some.
"Don't do that! How often did I tell you to knock?!", groaned the blonde.
"Sorry, Annie", smiled the green-eyed boy. "But I really need to ask you a question."
"Okay?", nodded Annabeth with one raised eyebrow. "What is it, Perce? I have to finish those."
"Do you think Piper would be a good sidekick?", asked Percy seriously.
"What kind of question is that?", snorted Annabeth amused and turned to look at him. "Come here. Take a seat. You're going crazy again. What's going on?"
"Nothing is going on!", grunted Percy and squeezed onto the chair next to Annabeth. "I just... Nothing is going on. That's the problem. I want to... have something going on. I want adventure. I want to see the beach and travel the sea and roam the country."
"You've always been talking about adventures", smiled Annabeth fondly, patting his head as though he was a little child. "But you've never sounded that... serious... So what's going on?"
"There were those two guys yesterday", sighed Percy softly. "They were being all secretive, but not like businessmen or anything, but more like... like spies. They were talking about looking for something and it was just... It sounded like action, like adventure. I want action and adventure."
"What do you say, Chase? Pack your stuff, it's time to leave this rat's nest behind us."
Percy and Annabeth turned to look at the door. Piper was casually leaning against the door-frame, wearing a baggy, pink shirt and jeans dungarees, her hair choppily cut and pointing into every directions. She looked like someone trying really hard to be a tomboy.
"Well, I've been waiting for that command for years now", smiled Annabeth, her focus on Piper, but her hand grabbing Percy's to squeeze it. "You know that, Perce."
"Yeah. I know", whispered Percy and nodded slowly.
Annabeth had been his only friend ever. When his mother had died and his stepfather had forced him to work at this place, she had started as Gabe's accountant. Because Gabe had no freaking idea how to lead a business, how to take care of the numbers. While Annabeth was a genius. She had always stuck around, because of Percy.
"But are you really ready to leave?", asked Annabeth seriously and stood. "You're a family person. Could you really leave Silena and the others? And this place? Even though it's your golden cage, in a way, it is also your home. Can you really leave it?"
"You're my oldest friend and my older sister by anything but blood, Annie", smiled Percy, grasping one of Piper's hands with his free hand. "And Pipes is my twin removed by blood, as far as I'm concerned. I know Silena and Beckendorf will take good care of the others. They'll be fine without me. Without us? And isn't it usual for children our age to leave the nest? Spread our wings?"
"Or fins, in your case", joked Piper, ruffling his hair once again. "So we will do this?"
"I will go wherever Percy goes. That's a closed deal", stated Annabeth before taking a slow breath. "You tagging along is just an added bonus, Pipes."
The blonde blushed slightly and turned her attention toward Percy, staring at him questioningly. He bit his lips. This started to feel like an actual adventure. They weren't just quitting their job and taking a flight somewhere, they were running away. Percy took a breath to gather bravery.
"Then it's time to show you something. The best way for us to leave. But first, we need to pack. And we really need to say good bye to the others", stated Percy in a firm voice. "Meet you guys in the break room in half an hour when everyone gathers for lunch?"
"Okay", nodded Annabeth with a smile, right before frowning. "Wait. If Piper is the sidekick, does that make me the pretty girl in this?! How is that a thing? I'm the brains! She's the looks!"
"If anyone is the looks, it's Percy!", objected Piper with a glare.
"Then I will be the hero, you can be the sidekick and Percy is the girl", nodded Annabeth.
"How am I the girl if I'm the only not-girl in this?!", exclaimed Percy, wildly waving his arms.
/break\
"Are you sure about this?", whispered Silena as she hugged Percy tightly.
"Yes", replied Percy determined, turning to look at Piper, who was being hugged by Drew.
Lacy and Mitchell were sitting in chairs, crying silently, being comforted by Annabeth. Charles was standing there, looking a little lost, while Calypso was trying to pry Drew off Piper so she would get a turn to hug the native American girl.
"But will you be alright?", frowned Silena concerned.
"As long as we stick together, we will me", smiled Percy. "You... just... watch over the others. And don't tell Gabe anything. Act as if you have no idea about anything, please? And... I love you."
"Oh, sweetheart, I love you too", sighed Silena, planting a kiss on top of his head. "I'll miss you."
"We'll write", promised Percy with a grin. "Post cards. From every place we see."
"I'd expect at least that", grunted Charles with a glare, pulling Percy into a bone-crushing hug. "And call. As soon as you get into trouble, you will call, you hear me? We'll take the next fly to everywhere to help you. Just stay safe."
"Thanks", smiled Percy, taking a deep breath. "Well, time to go, girls. Before Gabe gets back."
"Okay", nodded Piper, grabbing Annabeth's hand. "We love you guys."
"We love you too", sobbed Lacy, rubbing her face.
"We'll miss you", added Mitchell, staring at them teary-eyed.
"Don't do anything dangerous!", warned Calypso with worried eyes.
"Yeah, right", snorted Drew and rolled her eyes. "They're going to dive right into every dangerous situation that'll present itself to them and Jackson will be all 'Oh, let's poke it with a stick'!"
"That was a very accurate impression of him", grinned Piper amused. "We'll miss you guys too."
Percy bit his lips as he waved them a last time before the trio headed out of the break-room. Taking a deep breath, he took the lead out of the Purple Oyster. He was going to share his biggest secret with them. Now everything depended on one tiny little thing. Either they were going to have the best escape plan ever and manage to get away before Gabe returned and noticed that Percy was gone, or... Percy had gone crazy and Piper and Annabeth better send him to a mental hospital.
"Okay, what I'm going to show you will sound crazy. And it'll look crazy. If you can see it, gods I hope you can see it", muttered Percy, chewing his lips nervously as they reached the garage.
"We don't have a car, Percy", frowned Piper. "Unless you want to show us an invisible car. Then your odd rambling would even be justified."
"It's not a car. Actually, I think an invisible car would be making more sense than that", sighed Percy and closed his eyes tightly as he opened the garage. "Girls, meet Blackjack."
"Hey, boss! You're early today! Did you bring apples? Why did you bring females? I don't want females. I want apples. Do they have apples?", whined the beautiful, black pegasus.
Percy grinned and stepped into the garage to pat Blackjack's muzzle. "Hey, Blacky. No, I don't have apples, sorry. But I want you to meet Piper and Annabeth."
"That is... impossible", whispered Annabeth in disbelief and stepped closer to touch the broad wings. "It's... They're mythical creatures, they don't exist!"
"Who cares if they exist? He's beautiful", marveled Piper, patting the pegasus.
"I like the one with the feathers. She's nice", whined Blackjack, nuzzling her.
"Oh, I'm so glad you can see him", sighed Percy in relief. "I really thought I was going crazy."
"What do you mean?", asked Annabeth curiously, tilting her head.
"There was this customer who paid extra to take me with him to a horse race as arm candy", started Percy slowly. "And I saw him there. But... no one else seemed to see his wings. They were all looking at me crazy. And then he asked me if I can free him, so I spend... a huge amount of my money on buying him. I've been hiding him here ever since."
"When you say he asked you to free him, you don't mean the pegasus... right?", asked Piper slowly.
"Oh", muttered Percy with a crestfallen look. "So you can't hear him. Well, at least you can see him. That makes me only half-crazy, I guess..."
"You're not crazy, Percy", reassured Annabeth, patting his arm. "Believe me, I've seen crazier things in my life already. But... I've never seen anything up that close... He's fascinating."
"I think I like them both, boss", contemplated Blackjack with a whine.
"Figures", chuckled Percy, stroking the black mane. "Anyway, I figured we could take him with us. Start our journey right now. We could fly over to the coast and then, I don't know. We would have some space between us and... and Gabe and then we could think about where to go?"
"I can't even ride! How am I supposed to fly?!", yelped Annabeth with a worried face.
"I'll take the lead in this one", grinned Percy broadly. "Blacky says I'm a natural."
He climbed onto the black pegasus, caressing Blackjack's broad neck and beckoning Annabeth and Piper to join him. Annabeth followed, even though reluctantly, and Piper sat up next.
"Good thing we all are more of the skinny kind and don't need much room... or weight much..."
"I demand many delicious apples for this!", complained Blackjack as they headed out of the garage.
Author's note: You didn't expect me to make this easy for Jason and Nico, did you? ;) Next chapter will have two very frustrated sons of the Big Three, showing up in the Purple Oyster just to find their Sparkling Diamond gone. Biiig confrontation ahead and much pain for Gabe! *grins wickedly*
