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?
The Most Sparkling Diamond

6. Freeing Doves
Nico was glaring darkly as he was stalking up and down the hotel suit. Clarisse and Reyna were occupying the bathroom. Where other girls needed time there to pretty up, they needed it to armor up. Lou was packing some potions and things that 'may be useful'. And Chris and Jason were glaring at him from their spots on the couch.
"Why is he doing that, Jason? Make him stop", grunted the son of Hermes annoyed.
"He's anxious. I'm too, but I guess I'm better at not walking a hole in the carpet", chuckled Jason amused, staring at Nico with soft eyes. "Hey, it'll be okay. Chiron and Lupa gave us the okay to go in there, after everything Malcolm found out about this Ugliano-guy, we can tear that blasted place down, send the humans on their way home, take the pretty diamond with us and also rescue other demigods that may work there. By the end of the day, you and me will have Percy with us."
Nico stopped to stare at his boyfriend thoughtful. He liked the name. Percy. They had bugged Malcolm for every information possible on their gorgeous Sea Prince this morning. And by now the son of Hades was more determined than ever to lay a claim on Percy. Someone as mesmerizing shouldn't we walking around alone like that. He needed training and guidance. Nico was pretty sure that Percy wasn't even aware of what an effect he had on the people around him, that his powers were what hypnotized the people when he was singing.
"Can we please go now? I want him away from that nasty place as soon as possible", frowned Nico a little upset. "The longer we wait, the more could possibly happen."
"Nothing is going to happen, you pansy!", grunted Clarisse annoyed, throwing a tooth brush at him.
/break\
Nothing was going to happen, his ass. Nico's temper was at its highest as he was looming over Gabe Ugliano, his Stygian-iron sword pointed at the disgusting man's throat.
"Where. Is. Percy?", growled the son of Hades dangerously, the room darkening.
He didn't care much for what the rest of his team were doing – they had said something about children of Aphrodite and taking care of them. All Nico wanted was Percy.
"I—I don't know", whimpered the man pathetically. "The useless brat has been gone all day-"
Nico growled, pressing his sword deeper, cutting flesh. "He's not useless. Don't talk about him like that, you piece of worthless shit!"
"Di Angelo! Calm down", growled Clarisse as she entered with a high, broad black guy.
"No hurting mortals, you know the drill", added Reyna unimpressed.
"Nikki", whispered Jason, grabbing his boyfriend's hand. "Calm down for a second."
"But Percy was in his care and now he's gone!", exclaimed the son of Hades furiously. "Yesterday, he has still been here and now he's gone, because that piece of shit can't keep an eye on his charge!"
"Hello, I'm Silena", smiled a beautiful blonde woman as she pushed her way between Nico and the man. "And you will calm down now, yes? We will sit down together and drink a tea."
"Yes, a tea sounds nice", nodded the Ghost Prince suddenly very calm, blinking as he sat down on a chair. "Wait. How did you do that?! I don't even like tea!"
He glared at the cup of tea that was given to him by another blonde, much younger though. Jason was standing behind him with his hands on Nico's shoulders, not that that would keep the son of Hades from standing up if he truly wanted to. The thing that really kept him grounded at that moment was that Jason was standing behind him – standing with one of his feet on Gabe's throat. That was acceptable. Now, a little calmer, he took a look around. Opposite him sat the blonde woman, Silena. Behind her stood the broad black guy Clarisse had brought in. Then there was a petite blonde girl, a petite brunette boy, an auburn-haired female around Nico's age and a slightly arrogant looking Asian female. Clarisse was standing at the door, guarding it.
"Well? You going to talk or are you forcing me to actually drink that tea?", frowned Nico.
"Reyna, Lou and Chris are taking care of bringing the humans to the authorities and see the underaged ones being tended to. Those are the demigods", grunted the daughter of Ares with a short nod to them. "Kids of Aphrodite, all of them aside from the big guy, he's Hephaestus' brat. And that one is a special case. Daughter of a titan. Zoe's sister even. She'll be happy to hear that."
"I have a sister?", asked the auburn-haired one hopeful.
"You'll meet her once we brought you all to the safety of Olympolis, Calypso", nodded Jason.
"I'm Silena", repeated the tall blonde, pretty sure that Nico hadn't been listening. "That's my boyfriend and our bodyguard, Charles Beckendorf. Those are my siblings Drew, Lacy and Mitchell. We were three more, three more demigods that is. Percy, the one you're looking for. I think he too is one of our siblings. So is Piper. And then there was our accountant, I suspect her to be a daughter of Athena. But the three of them left this morning together."
"T—They did?", asked Nico wide-eyed. "Why? Where to?"
"I think they left because of you", snickered the Asian one – Drew.
"What's that supposed to mean?", grunted Jason with a frown, his grip on Nico tightening subconsciously at that. "Where did they leave to? And what do we have to do with it?"
He stared intensely at Drew, forcing her to straighten up some and get more serious again. "Percy has been talking about how he saw those two hot guys here yesterday. A hot piece of blonde deliciousness in the surfer Ken version and his boyfriend, mister tall, dark, handsome and European. And now you two show up here, demanding Percy and busting this whole club. I don't think that's a coincident. You two must be the ones that made him so hungry for adventure again."
"Yes, it was odd...", nodded Calypso slowly, thoughtful. "He hasn't been talking about seeing the world and living adventures for years now, not since he stopped only being a dancer..."
"So he left for adventure?", frowned Nico disappointed, sinking in his seat.
"He never knew about his heritage", smiled Silena softly. "Me, Drew and Charlie, we used to go to a camp, a special place, only very small though, in New York. But it was just a summer camp and we needed a place to stay, a place to live. And when we came to be here, it was... more out of practical reasons. I could feel my siblings and see their charmspeak. We're all claimed, we know of our heritage, but Percy, he never... so we never told him. We figured we should let him believe in a world without monsters, he... had seen enough human monsters to last a lifetime already."
"He's not a child of Aphrodite", said Jason in an even voice. "He's the son of Poseidon."
An eerie silence filled the room at that, the demigods staring at him in shock. Silena was the first one to regain her composure, gasping and reaching out for Nico and Jason.
"Please tell me he will be safe", whispered the blonde pleadingly. "Please. He's a child of one of the Big Three, they're like... like special treats for monsters! Now that he's out there, he will be eaten! Please tell me he won't be eaten! Oh gods, there is danger, isn't there? That's why you were looking for him, because he is a child of Poseidon. Why?"
"Calm down, chick", grunted Clarisse unimpressed. "He survived until now, he'll survive a while longer. But yeah, we're looking for him. And we will keep looking for him."
"But you people have a decision to make before we can leave to find Percy", interrupted the son of Jupiter in a slightly softer voice. "There is a safe place. Olympolis, a city full of demigods and ruled by demigods. It's protected by magic. You will get apartments, the chance to finish school or go to college, to work. You can have normal, but safe, lives. We will bring you there, if you want."
"S... Safety sounds good", whispered Silena unsure, looking at her younger charges. "We will come with you, if you can promise me that no one will take them away from me."
"You can't all live together. Not from the beginning. The apartments are made for four people, the ones you get sponsored. But once you gained enough money, once you worked enough for that, you can move to a house or whatever you would want to rent", replied Nico. "You have to understand that you can't just pick a pretty and big place if you're getting it for free, okay?"
"We do, don't worry", smiled Silena grateful. "Thank you, for this chance."
"Well then, move and get packed. The sooner you're ready, the sooner we can get moving", grunted Clarisse annoyed. "Don't pack heavy. The horses won't be able to carry that much."
Nico sighed as he watched them leave, probably to go to their rooms. He leaned back against Jason, seeking the support from his boyfriend. They had missed Percy. If they would have done as he had wanted, would have just dropped by at sunrise, they would have been able to gather Percy and leave with him together, having him with them.
"Why... Why is he so addictive...?", whispered Nico softly. "I just want to have him. Why...?"
"The brat's a whore, that's what", wheezed Gabe, trying to free himself from Jason's foot. "You want to screw him and once you're through with him, that will all stop again."
Nico could hear Jason gritting his teeth, his stand on Gabe tightening if the grunting and wheezing from the man was any indication. Silence befell the room, the only noise being the whimpered desperate tries of Gabe to free himself, which only earned him more kicks. The silence lasted until a voice started to call out through the club. A voice they knew. Jason, Nico and Clarisse froze.
"Hello? Is no one bloody working here?"
Jason and Nico exchanged a glare before turning to Clarisse. The daughter of Ares sighed.
"I'll keep an eye on the piece of shit. You check what the fuck our augur is doing here."
The couple left together in a haste, entering the vacant main room. Everything was dark and without guests or music, the club had an eerie feeling to it. In the middle of it stood a very irritated Octavian, glaring around, obviously searching for something.
"The fuck are you doing here, Simmons?", grunted Jason irritated, crossing his arms.
The augur froze and turned to stare at the two heroes stunned. "I've had the best hole ever last night, birthday present from Rachel, and I came for a second round before we head back to Olympolis."
"Don't shit me", snorted Nico disbelieving, glaring. "Our oracle and our augur just so happen to be at the one place the son of Poseidon is living at? The truth this time, please."
"The truth is that I had one of my best fucks last night and now I want more, that simple", growled Octavian annoyed. "What do you mean the son of Poseidon is here?"
""He... really doesn't know", frowned Jason thoughtful.
"Then you can just go to Rachel and tell her you should leave", grunted Nico. "The son of Poseidon had been here. Now he's gone. We're taking the other demigods with us to Olympolis, talk to Chiron and Lupa and then we'll have to start at scratch one. Just that we now know what he looks like."
"You take the other demigods back?", frowned Octavian, shifting. "I need to see them. I need to see him. I'm sure he's a son of Venus. He's, his stage name, it's Sparkling Diamond. Where is he?"
Nico closed his eyes and took a very deep breath. This could not be true. This little bastard had fucked their Sea Prince before them? How was that a thing? How did they deserve this?
"You fucked the son of Poseidon", growled Jason, the lights flickering with his irritation.
Needless to say, the rest of the wait had been very awkward.
/break\
Nico was frowning as he had Drew pressed against his back. Shadow beneath him whined in protest at the additional weight, but the black pegasus had been doing that since the start of their journey. Clarisse and Fighter were carrying Charles, because the brown stallion was the strongest of the pegasi. Silena was clinging slightly nervous to Reyna, the black-haired woman obviously enjoying having a pretty blonde close by. Calypso was enjoying her ride with Tempest and Jason. Mitchell was giggling off as he was clinging to Chris, though Trickster beneath them didn't seem to mind. The last, Lacy, was with Lou, totally fascinated by her unicorn mare Wicca. This was the most awkward ride possible, but Nico was just glad the augur and the oracle were taking Rachel's car. Because if Nico were forced to have Octavian on Shadow, he would probably push the blonde 'accidentally' off on the way. He was still furious that Octavian had fucked Percy.
"Don't be so angry", huffed the Asian behind him. "There are dozens, maybe even hundreds, of men who have fucked Perce so far, don't bother just because this one is someone you know."
"You're a sensitive one, aren't you?", sneered the son of Hades irritated.
"And you need a fucking so you'll stop PMSing", snorted Drew unimpressed. "Seriously. Perce is a big boy, he can watch out for himself. He's done plenty of men before, so if you're going to throw a fuss because you're not the first animal at the water hole, then you don't deserve Percy. Because Percy is special and he deserves someone who can accept him for who he is and what his past was like. So if you're not man enough for the job, you'll have a problem with me."
Nico blinked slightly impressed. He wouldn't have thought for the sirens to be that close, but then again, the way Silena had demanded to stay with the younger kids had been a give-away. The Ghost Prince smiled slightly, glad that regardless of what the pretty boy had been through, he had such good friends to support him. He just prayed those two that were with him right now would be as good and watch over him until Jason and Nico found him.

Malcolm frowned, glaring around his apartment. He had cleaned it three times now. It needed to be tidy and all of Katie's bras needed to be out of the way. Because his three roommates would return. He knew they would probably only be staying for one night to rest after the meeting with Lupa and Chiron, but he still needed it to look good. There was nothing worse than getting teased by Clarisse and Reyna about his sex life with Katie. And Chris wasn't much of a help there.
"You're being overly dramatic again, Mal", sighed Katie from where she was sprawled all over his bed. "Come back here and let's enjoy the morning before-"
"They're here! They're here and they brought six new demigods!", announced Miranda loudly.
Malcolm glared at the full-blood sister of his girlfriend. Why did she have a key anyway? Sighing slightly, he marched over at her. He knew she was happy and he understood that; her girlfriend would be around, even just for one night, it would be more than they had in weeks. Katie got dressed in record time and the three of them headed over to the city hall. Many were already gathered around as they knew some of their greatest heroes would return. Malcolm grunted, he hated pushing his way through the crowd. The daughters of Demeter followed him and as they reached the center of attention, so to speak, Miranda jumped her girlfriend, kissing Lou hungrily. Malcolm rather paid some attention to all the new faces around.
"Travis, Connor", called Jason out. "Can you bring the pegasi to the stalls, please?
"Jake, mind getting two flats ready for moving in for them?", continued the son of Hades. "Next to each other, if possible. And Will, please take our new residents to the hospital for the routine check-up. Can someone please get Zoe and Hylla to get them sorted on a legal level?"
"I'll see to it", nodded Malcolm and just wanted to leave again.
"No, we need you", grunted Nico, shaking his head. "We have things to discuss. Important things."
Malcolm nodded shortly, following their questing heroes into the building where Chiron and Lupa were already awaiting them. The son of Athena did not have a very good feeling about this.
/break\
Silena smiled softly as she looked around the place. Her own place. It was all she had ever wanted. The kids were staying in the apartment right opposite them – Drew and Calypso sharing a room, as well as Lacy and Mitchell. Her and Charles were for now alone in the apartment, but she hoped, really hoped, that those others would find their missing trio. Annabeth and Piper could stay with them here. She had a fleeting notion that Percy would probably go with Nico and Jason, wherever they would take him. No one had ever left such an impact on the boy before, and all of that just from a short, passing moment. They had woken up something that Silena had feared to be dead. Hope. Dreams. Joy. And now Percy was out there, somewhere, living the adventures. Somehow it made her happy and proud, like a mother. But on the other hand she was just as motherly worried.
"Do you think this is it?", whispered the daughter of Aphrodite, leaning back against her boyfriend.
"Mh?", grunted Charles confused, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Life", smiled Silena, tilting her head to kiss him. "Our very personal and happy life?"
"As long as I have you", grinned the son of Hephaestus. "Everything will be fine."
/break\
The flat was dark and dusty as Jason opened the door and steered his already half-asleep boyfriend in. No one had been in here for months, Bianca and Thalia were on their own quest too. No one had cleaned or even opened a window, the air was thick and tasted bad to him.
"Drew said something...", yawned Nico and stretched against his side. "She said Percy deserves someone who can handle his past and all the men he already slept with... Can... we...?"
"No idea what you're talking about, my Ghost Prince", murmured Jason, slowly undressing his lover as they were collapsing on their bed together. "I have never seen you look at someone the way you looked at him. The two of us, we grew closer together over the course of years. But this, this kind of love at first sight. I know you better than that. I know you'll not let anything stop you from having what you want. Once you can have him, you will forget about these things, you will forget everything he may have done in the past, because you will enjoy being part of his now."
"Okay... you're right, Jayjay", murmured Nico, cuddling up to him. "You always are... Mh... I can't wait to share him with you... think you'll look amazing within him..."
"How do you always get horny when you're sleepy?", groaned Jason annoyed, ruffling his boyfriend's curls. "It's just not fair. You always get me hot and bothered and then you do that. Because you've already done it, haven't you? You're asleep. Yes, you are. Just fucking great."
The blonde spend some moments staring at his boyfriend accusingly before he stood up again to open the windows. No one living at the place had made the air sour. As he opened the windows wide, he took a moment to appreciate the view. It was nice, having a familiar skyline, recognizing the buildings, knowing who was living in the apartments that still had light on and even being able to guess what they were doing that late. It was familiar, it was his home and he had missed it.
Taking a deep breath, he enjoyed the glowing of the moon and the fresh air around him. As he heard Nico moving behind him on the bed, he turned to leave the room. Sending prayers to the gods, he opened the fridge. At least nothing had died in there, so he was grateful for that. Humming in appreciation, he took a beer out. It seemed Jake had answered his prayers. By the looks of it, the son of Hephaestus must have dropped by while they were stuck in the meeting, putting enough food for breakfast and a couple of beers in. Opening the bottle, he wrapped his lips around the head and enjoyed the cool liquid. The meeting had been going on for hours, Nico, him and the others had to retell everything that had happened and he meant everything. Then the broad and long discussions as to what they were supposed to do next, at which point the appointed heads, the representatives of each god, chosen by all their siblings, had joined in. Which had only stressed everything more. Jason really hoped they would find Percy soon and get some peace. With Percy at their side.
Author's note: Jason and Nico longing, there you go! And Gabe getting beaten up. xD Next chapter will have a poor, flustered Leo getting molested by Luke and feeling as though he is being stalked (weird, however may that come?)
Ooooh, and if you're interested, I'll probably have two new Nicercy stories out by Sunday, if you want to know what they're about, check my profile under the section "Planned Multiple-Chapter Stories". ;3
