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?

9. The Ocean and the Thames Part I
Piper smiled softly as she had her fingers linked with Annabeth, the two girls walking behind a happily glowing Percy. Never before had the native American seen Percy like that. His smile was radiant as he clung to the blue box in his arms like it was a treasure.
"Are you going to carry that thing around in your arms all day now?", grunted Piper unimpressed.
"It's not a thing!", defended Percy appalled. "It's a TARDIS! You can't call a TARDIS a thing!"
"You're a nerd", snorted the native American and rolled her eyes. "I don't get this. That we're here, in London, just because you like that stupid show with that telephone box traveling alien."
"Police call box", corrected Percy in a muttered, pouty voice. "And shut up, okay?"
"No", smirked Piper teasingly, catching up to Percy to poke his nose. "You have to explain to me what is so great about this show. Because I really don't get it. I mean, theoretically I get why you like it. Everybody likes something. But your level of obsession..."
Percy slowed down some, his eyes downcast. "When I was a little boy... My mom, she used to watch the reruns of the old show with me. Every Saturday when Gabe would go gambling with his buddies, we'd get to sit together and watch it. It was that one hour we had to each other when the world would look beautiful and good. Imagining there was a Doctor out there, ready to fix everything. And when Leo came to us... The new series aired. Mom was so excited. And Leo was so confused. He had been very closed off when we first took him in, but when we started having those family nights and watching the new series together, he started to open up to us... A—At least until my mom died and Gabe... gave Leo away... Doctor Who is all I have left of my family..."
"Oh, come on", groaned Piper, bumping shoulders with Percy. "How am I supposed to make fun of your nerdiness now? That was like the saddest thing I've ever heard!"
"If the two of you are done bickering, can we get going? Those apples don't get lighter."
Piper blushed and hurried back to Annabeth to take the bag of apples from her. The blonde gave her a grateful smile for that. The three of them went back to their hotel in the heart of London. Percy grinned broadly as he ran up to their room and unlocked the door to enter. It was a bit pompous, but they had only been living there for a couple of days now, so it was okay, it was home, somehow. Putting the toy TARDIS onto the table, Percy took an apple out of one of the girls' bags and skipped over to the balcony, where the black pegasus stallion was already eagerly awaiting his treat. Blackjack had proven to be useful company. He had brought them to Miami, where it hadn't been hard for Piper to persuade a guy into bringing them to Europe with his yacht. She was really good with words, Percy always admired that. And now they were in London. Easy as that. They've had enough money to get a beautiful hotel room too. And they got Blackjack fresh apples every day.
"Boss! You brought apples!", whined the stallion happily, rubbing his head against Percy's.
"That was the deal", grinned Percy amused, caressing the black mane. "You bring us places, we bring you apples. What have you been doing all day, Blacky?"
"Nothing much... There are some nice mares around! And handsome stallions!", replied Blackjack.
"Naughty boy", chuckled Percy and shook his head. "Did someone pick your interest?"
"Naw. But it was nice talking to other pegasi and horses again aside from always only talking to you. Not that you're not awesome company, boss, but...", declined Blacky with a head-shake.
"I get it, you were lonely in the garage. I'm sorry. I just tried to help", frowned Percy upset.
"You did help!", reassured Blackjack softly, bumping heads with Percy. "You saved me. You're my friend. I just miss having others of my kind around too..."
"Then go and have some more fun with your new friends", grinned Percy amused and turned.
Patting the stallion for a last time, Percy went back inside, where Piper and Annabeth had already set the table with the things they had bought on their trip to the city. So far they had seen eight different musicals, gone shopping, bought fanboy stuff for Percy and done everything a tourist in London had to do. It was a vacation. Not an adventure. But for now, it was nice too, so Percy didn't say anything. He too wanted to enjoy their new-won freedom before they would have real adventures. Humming softly, Percy sat down next to Piper, folding his legs beneath his body.
"You know, London is pretty great", grinned the native American. "But... are we staying?"
"No", replied Percy and shook his head. "I want to see more. I just thought a couple of calm days would be nice. Maybe a few more days to figure out what we want?"
He took one of the three bowls, the one with pineapples and honey, and dove into his lunch. Stupid things like that was what he enjoyed most. Just eating what they wanted whenever they wanted instead of the little and healthy stuff Gabe allowed them to have. Annabeth was eating rice pudding with cherries and Piper was dipping her croissant right into the jar of Nutella.
"Sounds like a plan to me", shrugged Annabeth, sticking her finger into Piper's Nutella to lick it off.
"You're a pig, Chase", grunted the native American annoyed yet still flustered as the watched how Annabeth licked the chocolate cream off again. "You are so paying for my pizza."
Smiling softly to himself, Percy watched his friends. It was nice, just sitting together, having them with him. He felt content and happy. Sure, he wondered how their other friends back at the Purple Oyster were doing, but knowing them, they were probably fine.
"I think I'll take a nap... We've been walking so much this morning... I'm dead on my feet..."
"Really?", frowned Annabeth upset. "I thought we were going to that restaurant for pizza..."
"Yeah. I mean, this is like an appetizer. I need something real after this", huffed Piper and motioned to her jar of chocolate dip. "We've spend all morning on that fanboy mission of yours, you can't just deny us that promised pizza, Jackson."
"You two could go alone?", suggested Percy and yawned. "I'm really tired. Go and have fun alone. I'm not very hungry anyway. Or you could bring something back so we'd also have dinner?"
"Of course you're not very hungry. You ate nearly the whole buffet on your own this morning", noted his blonde friend with one arched eyebrow. "But okay. If you're sure about it?"
"Sure I am", nodded Percy between the pineapple pieces. "Go on a date, have fun just the two of you. It must annoy you to always have me around without any privacy." At their shocked and flustered expressions, he raised both his eyebrows. "Really? I'm not blind. The sexual tension between the two of you could be cut with a knife. I've always wondered who it is that Piper loves, but now that it's just the three of us around, I noticed all those little glances and shit."
"W—What glances?", blinked the brightly pink Annabeth doe-eyed.
"Uh... well... I... like you? Very much?", mumbled Piper and averted her eyes.
"Oh. You two never discussed that? My bad, sorry", grinned Percy sheepishly.
"Shut up!", huffed Piper and threw a pillow at the boy.
"So... Does that mean you're asking me out on a date?", asked Annabeth softly.
"Uh, well, I guess? I—If you want to, that is, of course", stuttered Piper and heaved a sigh. "Damn. I'm so good at making others agree to whatever I want, why is this so hard with you...?"
"Because you love her", offered Percy with a shrug.
"Go jump off a bridge", hissed Piper and blushed. "You're not helping!"
Giggling at his flustered friends, Percy stood to get into his room. They had a suit with two bedrooms. He had assumed that this was the case so Annabeth and Piper could at least cuddle, while they didn't get to have sex what with Percy sleeping in the other room. That seemed to not be the case though. Shrugging slightly to himself, Percy closed the door behind himself and fell face first onto the big bed. His eyes closed serenely as he fell into a light slumber.
/break\
His dreams always were different. Sometimes he was just sad and dreaming of a life where his mom was still alive and Leo was still around and they were just a happy family. Those dreams, he understood. Sometimes he had wet dreams of either his favorite costumers or some stars from telly. Those dreams, he really understood. But then there were the dreams he didn't understand. When he saw people he had never seen before, just watching them do regular stuff, talking or sitting together or walking or hiking. As though he was watching someone else's life. The last few days however, his dreams had become somewhat of a mix between watching and wet dreams. Really messed up. He kept dreaming of the handsome blonde and his Italian boyfriend. Mostly about them making out or fucking. And he was just hovering somewhere, watching them.
"Oh... nice...", grinned Percy to himself as he stared out of the window.
The Eiffel tower. Paris. It was beautiful. Turning around, he noticed that it must have been a hotel too. The pleased grin widened some as he saw what was waiting in the bed. The handsome blonde was laying sprawled all over the bed, with the hot Italian laying on his chest. Nice setting. It had become his second favorite dream, the ones about the Italian and the blonde. Nothing could beat the memory of Sally and Leo though, not even two hot guys going at it.
"Why are we here, Jay?", yawned the Italian, drawing signs onto the blonde's chest.
"What do you mean?", huffed his boyfriend with a frown, running his fingers through dark curls.
He remembered their names – Jason and Nico. But calling them by their names was like getting attached and those weird dreams were already strange enough as it was. Hiding a little behind the curtain, Percy kept watching. They couldn't see him anyway, but it made him feel safer.
"This is our hotel room, we just fucked here", grunted Nico and sat up, swatting Jason's hand away. "Why are we here now? In our dreams? Can't we go somewhere fancy, or at least be at home?"
"What's it matter?", huffed Jason and rolled his eyes. "We're going to fuck anyway. Does it matter where we do it? Can't we just do it? You know, you said I owe you one, so why don't you collect?"
"Okay, okay, okay. You win. We can't have as much amazing sex as we want to with the others next door", sighed Nico in defeat and sat up some. "So yay for shared dreams. Still, next time I request a change of scenery. Bring me somewhere nice or fancy, Barbie boy. Now turn around."
"Oh, it's blondie's turn tonight, nice", chimed Percy silently to himself.
"Who's there?", growled Jason right away, his eyes darkening dangerously.
He gripped Nico's shoulder, but the Italian was as set on protecting him as he was on protecting Nico, so that looked more like a very weird fight for dominance. Many things between them looked that way, as Percy had already witnessed. Grinning amused, he stepped closer to observe them. But as he stepped out from behind the curtain, the two boys on the bed froze.
"I—It's you", stuttered Nico stunned and stared directly at Percy.
Freezing up in mid-step, Percy returned the stare. "You can see me? Finally! These wet dreams are going to be so much more fun if I don't have to just stand by and watch anymore!"
"We're looking everywhere for you...", blinked Nico slowly and stood to walk over to Percy.
Once he was in front of Percy, he put a hand on the other boy's cheek, the other on his waist. The smile Nico gave him was contagious, it made Percy feel all warm and fuzzy inside, so he obliged as he got pulled into a tight hug by the Italian. Jason frowned at them thoughtful.
"It must be because he's a son of Poseidon. Children of the Big Three, we're stronger. It must be why he can join our shared dreams. That and because he must spend an awful lot of time thinking of us", mused the blonde curiously. "But Perseus, tell me what you meant when you said wet dream?"
"First of all, do not under any circumstances call me that ever again", huffed Percy as he pushed Nico off some. "It's Percy, okay? Per-cy. Not Per-seus. And what else aside from a wet dream can that be? I keep dreaming of you guys fucking and making out. But blimey, you've never seen me before. It started to drive me nuts. What good is a wet dream if you're only like a voyeur?!"
"Huh?", blinked Nico confused, looking from Percy to Jason and back again.
That thoughtful look on Jason's face intensified. "It happens when we're not in sync with our sleep. Sometimes, I get to just stand in a corner and watch you until you fall asleep too, Nico."
"Oh... So, this is like the first time that all three of us are asleep at the same time", mused Nico.
"Why are you two still talking and what is it you're babbling about? Can we please fuck?"
"No, Perse... Percy, this is not just a dream. Your mind didn't just make me and Nico up, we're really here", said Jason softly. "This is a shared dream. Your mind is here, just like mine and Nico's. What happens in a shared dream feels real too. You're not just dreaming it up, Percy."
"That is real bullshit", chuckled Percy amused and grabbed Nico's hand to pull him over to the bed. "But then again, most the stuff you two say sounds like you escaped from a mental institution. Which is kind of a pity, because I was so sure you're some kind of spies. Now let's fuck."
Once on the bed, Percy already had Nico's hands placed on on his very nice ass, the Italian licking his lips as he squeezed what he had been chasing for weeks now. Jason glared at them.
"Stop talking about sex!", exclaimed Jason annoyed, pushing Nico away from Percy and seating them on either side of him. "And stop touching him, di Angelo. Try focusing. That's our chance."
"Right. Focusing. Mission", nodded Nico embarrassed, staring longingly at Percy.
"Missionary position?", supplied Percy with an innocent grin, licking his lips.
"Yes", nodded Nico eagerly until Jason hit him upside the head, making him shake it. "I mean, no."
"Percy", started Jason softly, pushing his horny boyfriend behind himself so he could focus on Percy fully. "We've been to the Purple Oyster before, on a mission. We are spies, in a way. And our mission was to find you, to safe you."
"Safe me? Are you spies or knights in shining armor?", snorted Percy unimpressed.
He sat crossed-legged and glared with a pout. Why was he getting a preach in his sex dream? This sucked! First time for them to actually see him and now they were talking instead of fucking.
"We're demigods, Percy", explained Nico as he pushed past his boyfriend. "Children of the Greek and Roman gods. They are real, Percy. My father is Hades, ruler over the underworld. And Jason's father is Jupiter, the king of Olympus. Your father is Poseidon."
"Greek and Roman gods? Like from Disney? So your dad is the dude with the blue flame hair? Be glad you didn't inherit those", laughed Percy ridiculed and shook his head. "And you must have a real hard time living up to the expectations others have on you since Hercules, huh?"
"It's not like Disney. It's like the real myths", grunted Jason annoyed. "Look, I know this is overwhelming. But just... think about it. Think of everything weird that had happened to you in your life. I mean really weird things like mythological creatures or monsters."
"Like... winged horses...?", asked Percy slowly, cautiously, backing off some.
"Pegasi, yeah", nodded Nico hastily, glad that Percy caught on. "Your dad, he's the god of the sea. You have a connection to water. But he's also the creator of horses, which makes you-"
"Their boss?", frowned Percy confused. "Because that's what he's calling me."
"Who's calling you that?", asked Jason slowly. "Who have you been talking to?"
"Jealous?", teased Percy and poked the blonde's nose. "My friend. I call him Blackjack. He's a winged horse. He always calls me boss. Is that because I'm the son of his creator?"
"He talks to horses", blinked Nico stunned. "That is new. Cool, but new."
"Okay, so... let me assume for a second that what you're saying is not the weird lunch messing with me, but that it's true. The shared dreams, us being god-kids, all that stuff", started Percy slowly, lifting his arms up in surrender. "Then tell me one thing. Why have you been looking for me?"
"Because you're a child of one of the Big Three. Hades, Zeus, Poseidon. Or Pluto, Jupiter, Neptune, if you're Roman", tried Nico to explain. "They're the most powerful gods. And they scarcely sire children. But if they do, those demigods are especially powerful. And someone is after this power. We've been looking for you, because we want to keep you safe, to look out for you."
"Who tells me that you're not the someones after this power?", frowned Percy skeptical. "Who's to tell me that you're not the bad guys in disguise? Who is after me?"
"That would be too much", sighed Jason, rubbing his temples. "You're not even believing this, why should you believe us when we tell you that the ancient siblings – Hemera and Nyx – are fighting and trying to get us on either of their sides."
"You got a point there", nodded Percy with a grin and laid down on the bed, with his arms behind his head. "You two are really cute. But totally weird. This is such a waste of a perfectly good bed and a perfectly good dream. I didn't want fairy tales, I wanted sex..."
"You're really horny", teased Nico as he sneaked past Jason to lay next to Percy.
"I just never had sex with someone solemnly out of the reason that I wanted it", shrugged Percy. "Jesus, not even in my dreams do I get to have sex with who I want. This sucks."
"Percy", sighed Jason, climbing over his boyfriend so he could lay on Percy's other side. "You're in danger. Even if you don't believe a word we're saying, at least tell us where you are at the moment. Physically. Where have you gone after leaving the US? Please. Europe is big and we keep looking. We've been searching for you for months now."
Percy stared at the blonde confused. There was a longing, a haunted and dark shadow in his eyes. As though he truly had spend a long period of time away from home and returning home was all he truly wanted. It wasn't just that though, there was this need in them too. A need to protect. Him. Even if this was a dream, even if this was all a whole load of bull, this still looked so real. And it made Percy's heart flutter. Those two, they really wanted to protect him.
"This is stupid, because you won't come anyway, because this is just a dream", grinned Percy, shaking his head slowly. "But okay. Maybe I'll get a real fuck out of this. I'm-"
/break\
"-in London", gasped Percy out as he sat up straight in his bed. "Ouch."
"Sorry", muttered Piper sitting opposite him. "You just wouldn't wake up. But you had to."
"Why?", frowned Percy upset, rubbing his cheek. "I was so short of getting laid. I'm sure if I had told them I'm in London, they would have shagged me! Maybe even both at the same time..."
"Little perv", chuckled Piper, hitting him upside the head. "I asked Annie out on a date and she really agreed. But I've been trying to pick clothes for half an hour now. And I can't decide what's best. You know I'm shit at that. Since this is all your fault, you will be helping me pick something."
"You can be such a pain in the ass", groaned the green-eyed boy and rubbed his face. "I'm tired. I wanted to sleep. I had a nice dream. And you wake me up so you can get laid? That's mean."
"Whatever. Who said I'm the nice one out of us?", grinned Piper broadly and jumped up. "Annie left to check a bookstore. But we're soon due to meet at the restaurant and I still don't know what to wear. Pick something pretty out for me. But not too pretty. And not too girly. But I also don't want to look too tomboyish. Or crappy because of my fashion sense. I don't want her to be ashamed to be seen with me, you know?"
"I think I've never seen you nervous before", muttered her friend and stretched some. "That's weird. Please stop being weird, Pipes. That's not you. You're not girly like that."
"I know", sighed the native American and hung her head low. "It's her. She's driving me crazy. I just want to be perfect for Annabeth, but I fear I'll mess up. She's just so clever and..."
"Urgh, spare me, please", smiled Percy teasingly, leaving his room to get to the girls' room.
"Oh. Right. Before I woke you, your phone has been buzzing. Caller ID said Leo..."
Piper threw the phone at Percy, the boy caught it just as they came to stand in front of Piper's closet. Frowning at the phone, he stuffed it into his pocket and turned to Piper with a smile.
"I'll call him back later. Now let me take care of your little problem, Beauty Queen."
"Thank you, you're the best!", yelped Piper relieved and hugged him.
Author's note: The next chapter will also be out of Percy's POV and having him deal with what Jason and Nico told him (and pout about not having sex with them...). To make this clear; Percy thought this was a dream, that's why he threw himself at them like that. Real life first real meeting will go a little different. And will follow in the not all too distant future too. ;)
