A/N: I hope this is longer. But it DOES have a cliffie...of sorts. And sorry for mistakes, I still don't have a spell/grammar check.

I don't own PJO or Mission Impossible. I thought the music was all dramatic so...yeah. :D The beginning is SUPPOSED to be stupid. So don't bother trying to tell me it is. I know this. It was supposed to be something funny after all the drama...I encourage listening to it while reading the first part up until Hermes comes in.

Chapter Twelve: Mission Impossible Theme

"Athena..."

"Let's do this!"

Apollo sneaked around the corner of the large throne room. Glancing around, he snapped black sunglasses onto his face and proceeded ro somersault across the room. Pasting himself against the wall on the other side of the room, he sneakily turned his head out into the hall. Looking back at the others, he put a thumbs up.

Aphrodite and Artemis nodded. The tied their jackets around their waists. Together, they ran a quarter of the way into the room and proceeded to cartwheel in sync. Following the cartwheels, they backflipped once and landed on their feet. Aphrodite proceeded to do a back walkover while Artemis ran and flipped over her. Once they made it to the other side, they plastered themselves on the wall opposite Apollo. Looking their way, they nodded to Ares.

He just ran across the throne room, and set himself beside Apollo. He gave a firm nod at Athena and Poseidon. "This is really dumb,"

Athena sighed. "That's the point. If we look like idiots, Hera will take us as idiots and, therefore, put her guard on my daughter on low."

"Excuse me?"

"Our daughter. Sorry. Let's go."

"Athena, this is probably really going to hurt after..."

"Don't be a baby! Just be a spy!"

"When you said '...pull and Apollo' I didn't think you meant take on his lack of thinking things through, too."

"Shut up and run, pretty boy."

Athena cartwheeled out into the throne room. Looking around, she went on her back and volleyball-rolled over on her shoulder. Landing on one knee, she glanced around the room and took off sprinting. Flipping one last time, she landed beside Artemis.

Poseidon walked across the throne room with his arms crossed. Apollo grunted. He turned off the radio with the remote. The Mission Impossible theme ceased. "You are no fun."

"Can I take this back to your quarters, now?" Hermes asked, picking up the boom box. Apollo nodded.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" A shriek echoed through the throne room. Aphrodite smiled. The plan of having no plan was working.

"Why, hello, Hera!" Athena waved.

She raised an eyebrow. "You obnoxious children! If you think that barging in here and acting like hooligans would throw me off, it is not working!"

Aphrodite shrugged. "We just wanted to have some fun. You know, enjoy this place."

"See your beautiful face," Apollo added in.

Hera crossed her arms. "You children amuse me so. If you want the girl, go take her. She's in my quarters. Annoying and high maintenance, just like her mother. So, I have no use for her. I've tried everything. She's just too much like precious Athena. Won't cooperate. Even if she is a baby, I expected more."

Aphrodite and Artemis looked at each other and launched off to Hera's room. Ares and Apollo followed. Just as Poseidon was about to turn, Athena grabbed his wrist. "No. It's a trap." She whispered. "Help me first."

He looked down at her. "Alright..."

They turned towards the Queen. "Well, it looks like you two are the smart ones. I've hidden her in a place you shall never look. Though, I wasn't lying about that last part. She is very much like you, Athena." Hera walked up to the two. Pulling Athena away from Poseidon, she shoved her against the wall. "An ungrateful, horribly behaved, annoying little brat."

Athena's eyes flickered with anger. "How dare you call my daughter something so horrible! How dare you insult her! She is just a child! She is not even old enough to walk and yet you accuse her of such things!" She pulled her arm out from Hera's grip and punched the goddess in the nose with it. Golden blood leaked out.

"You wench!" Hera shouted.

Coming up from behind, Poseidon grabbed the goddess' arms and swung her into the wall. Normally, a human would crash right through it. But because she was a goddess, she merely dented the wall. Poseidon shoved her further into the wall. "Don't you dare call my precious fiancee that!"

Hera swung her arms apart, making Poseidon lose his grip on her. She ran over to Athena and tackled the girl, slamming her into the granite floor. Athena flipped her over, as she had seen Annabeth train with Percy. She pressed her hands onto the goddess' shoulders and pinned her down. They may be human, but with years of war and training on them, they still had a fighting chance against Hera. "Poseidon! Hera's quarters! I take it back, go!"

"What?" He called.

Athena grunted as Hera flipped her over again. "Go to her quarters!"

"But, what? You said it was a trap!" Poseidon called.

"Just go!"

"But you can't fight alone!"

"The others are already-OUCH!" Athena bit Hera's hand and tackled her again. "The others are trapped in their quarters. I saw this coming!" She panted. "It was the only way to make sure they were safe..."

"Wait, Athena! If I go to the room, what will happen?"

"To me or to you?"

"Both!"

"If you enter either Hera's room-GET OFF ME!" Athena stood and ran away from the goddess. Chuckling, Hera crossed her arms. Athena ran right back and knocked her in the temple with a closed fist, sending her to the ground. "It's her sacred place! Go! You'll be back in your quarters and you'll be a god again!"

Hera pounced up and sent Athena to the ground.

"But, you..."

"JUST GO! I CAN'T LOSE YOU, TOO!" Athena cried.

As Poseidon said no, he ran in to help Athena. Hera, however, had other plans. In a matter of seconds, he was across the room, and close to Hera's quarters. Looking back at a pleading Athena, he sighed and walked into the room. "I don't understand how this will take me back to my quarters...whoa."

Zeus nodded grimly. "I must do as she says. Come, brother. You must go home."

"But New York is my home! I need to find my daughter and save my...my..."

Zeus looked at Poseidon. "She is your nothing. She is my daughter and my daughter alone. You will go to your room now."

"How did Athena know all of this?" Poseidon asked.

Zeus looked at the ground. "I had several different gods and goddesses give her visions last night. Go, or I'll have to drag you."

"Then you'll have to drag me," Poseidon said. "Because I don't care what you say, I'm going back to help my best friend." Poseidon looked at Zeus. "I'm going back to save my fiancee."
