Chapter 10: A Council of War

Piper and Jason left the studio separately, but that evening Jason Iris messaged her, and told her to message Camp-Half Blood. He already had messaged Camp Jupiter, and Piper could see Frank and Hazel through the mist. She quickly turned on the shower in her bathroom, and called, "O Fleecy, do me a solid, show me Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase and Leo Valdez, at Camp Half Blood". The image popped up, the traditional mist window split into three, each of her friends in their own segment. Since Fleecy was kind-of new to Iris messaging, she had added new features, as some of the more traditional users were upset with a newbie taking over Iris's job; despite the fact that Iris was totally O.K with it. So Fleecy had changed it so a message could go to more than one person. Which lead to loads more people willing to call via Fleecy instead of Iris.

Piper stood back from the mist, so that all the Greeks could see the Iris message to Jason, and the one behind him to Frank and Hazel, which immediately blended to a two part window, that stuck to the three part window so that Piper could see all six of her friends, in what looked like five TV screens, Hazel and Frank being in the same place. A box of mist appeared with the words in Greek, One minute conversations are one Drachma, five minutes costs four drachma and a special offer on ten minutes for seven Drachma. Piper grinned and picked up the purse of drachma from Lacy, inserting seven drachma and sitting on the bed.

Piper smiled, "so I suppose all of you have heard about mine and Jason's new job?"

"Annabeth grinned, looking up from the blueprint she was sketching, "yes, I hope you have fun, seems you got something from your dad too. If you need any of us too pop along and dispose of any monsters that might pop up on set, we'll send Percy in." Piper was glad that Annabeth had said if she (and Jason) needed, it was great to know that her friends were willing to help them out, whilst at the same time acknowledging that they were warriors in their own right and didn't need to have a babysitter.

"Thanks for that Annabeth," Percy frowned "Because I'm not going to be busy with my baby sister..."

"What?"

"Huh?"

"Percy, since when have you had any kind of sibling apart from Tyson, and your dad's immortal kids?" Jason's statement added to Frank's and Leo's, and Piper agreed with the sentiments, since when did Percy have a little sister. She looked at Annabeth screen, and saw her sitting with a grin on her face.

"You knew, didn't you?" Annabeth looked up.

"Sally told me when I went to visit her last week?"

"Wait, you visit my mom when I'm not there?"

"Someone's got to show me all the cute baby pictures; I like the one when you're in the aquarium talking to the seahorse- before you tried to break the tank."

"It's a prison Annabeth; someone's got to do something!"

The budding argument was interrupted by Hazel. "So Piper, Jason, why'd you call all of us? Percy you'd better prepare for being put through the wringer later. But for now, I get that you guys are in the film, and congratulations, but that doesn't really require all of us."

Jason dropped in, "yes, but this is a council of war. There's a reporter, one Mrs Danno, who has it in for Piper, because Pipers' dad's so famous, and her late husband was always coming second to him. The last straw being when he lost out to Mr Mclean at the Oscars. So, Piper and I had a plan about how to deal with her. Basically, we'll make it out like we each have a boyfriend or girlfriend that's not the other, and make sure Mrs Danno finds out, so when she's published her big article, we can explain we were always together."

Annabeth sat forward. "If you go through with that, your reputations will be in tatters before the grand reveal, are you sure it's a good idea?"

Piper knew that Annabeth knew what she was talking about, but that problem had already been raised by Sebastian. "Since Danno is out to discredit me, she's most likely going to play Jason as the good guy and me as the unreliable girl who's trying to break up his relationship. But, I've also said that I have a boyfriend, so I need a fake one. Hopefully I can find someone at camp."

Leo grinned. "I could pretend, but it'd be really awkward, and there is no way I'm kissing you, you're like a sister."

Jason shook his head. "Can't be you Leo, Piper said to the press earlier that Leo wasn't her boyfriend."

"Frank could do it". Everyone stopped and looked at Hazel, or where the monitor for Hazel was.

"Hazel, Frank's your boyfriend" Piper frowned. "Why would you suggest that?"

"Because it works, I may be from the 1940's but people back then were always pretending to go out with someone to make other people jealous, or to pretend that they had someone to dance with at Saturday dances. Besides if you're going to pretend to be a... a scarlet woman, you need to have a sweet innocent boyfriend you're betraying. Frank's perfect for that."

"Frank? What do you think about that?" Piper had to admit the idea had potential, and if Frank was playing the sweet innocent guy, then she would only have to kiss him on the cheek, which was great, because then she would be able to say he was only a friend when the story hit. Also, the fire at his gran's house and the death of his mom provided him with the perfect tragic back-story.

"I guess if Hazel's O.K with it? But what does that mean. What will I have to do?"

Piper smiled at the confused Canadian. "We'll have to meet up somewhere quite public- just us two. Jason's Birthday is soon, and we'll have a party at Camp-Half Blood, so if we pretend to meet up then, we'll hang out for a few hours then head to Camp Half Blood. Sorted?"

"Yeah, that's fine, we can Iris or rather Fleecy message closer to the time."

Jason nodded in his screen. "Thalia's agreed, so we'll do something the day after."

Percy frowned "Thalia agreed to what?"

Leo finally joined the conversation in his own special way. The boy may be a son of Hephaestus but sometimes he was purely Hermes. "Just because Zeus is your dad, doesn't mean you have to copy him. Incest is wrong Jason".

Percy did a double take. "Wait. What?"
