The Mark of Perseus
Athena's Gratitude
Chapter 1: Travis and Connor
"You stupid, stupid seaweed brain!"
Reyna nearly fell over in surprise at the loud and very angry voice. Her surprise was doubled when she saw the beautiful blonde girl with the angry, stormy eyes. Reyna and Octavian were having Percy's left and right – the three with the power, the augur and the praetors. But Hazel and Frank were there too, a little behind them. And the two lesser Romans backed off a little surprised at the angry outburst. They too had probably suspected kisses and proclamations of love and endearment as soon as Percy would be reunited with his friends. Instead, the boy got punched in the face.
"H—How could you worry me like that?!", continued the angry blonde.
Looking closely, Reyna could see the worry and the shimmering of tears in those fascinating gray eyes. Before the daughter of Bellona could get lost any more in those eyes, the blonde girl found herself with a knife at her throat and a dangerously growling augur all up in her personal space.
"Tavy", whispered Percy softly, grabbing Octavian's shoulder reassuringly. "It's okay. Let go."
"No", growled Octavian stubbornly, shrugging the hand off and focusing on the girl. "You dare invade our home and then you come and hurt our praetor. You dare hurting what is mine. Be careful who you make enemies with, girl."
"Annabeth!", called a familiar voice, very irritated, from behind. "I told you not to provoke the augur and you just go and do the opposite! H—How did you Greeks survive for so long?!"
Reyna unwillingly lifted her gaze off the pretty girl and spotted the rest of the crew climbing down the latter. On the front were Jason Grace, two brunette, nearly identical boys, a Latino and a native American girl. The five of them came to stand opposite of Hazel, Reyna, Percy, Octavian and Frank. Percy had, by now, pulled Octavian off the girl enough so he could hug her.
"I am so, so sorry, wise girl", murmured Percy, his face buried in her golden locks.
"Stop hogging our Sea Princess, Annabeth!", chided one of the two brunettes.
"Yes! How is it everybody gets him before we do?!", agreed the other brunette.
Percy let go off Annabeth as though he had been struck by lightning, his sea-green eyes wide as he looked up at the two broadly grinning sons of Hermes. Seeing them made his heart flutter. He had gotten to spend time with Nico, to be held by his Ghost Prince, he had seen his father and Mars too, but oh how much he missed his other lovers. Annabeth nudged him slightly, indicating that it was okay, that he should go and give them the proper greetings too. His legs were shaking, his knees oddly wobbly when he stood. It was just too much. Annabeth was here and she was his, his Annie, his best friend, his sister, his wise girl, the one who would rather punch him in the face than cry about how much she had missed him. His Connor and his Travis were here and even though his father had told him, he would not have thought it possible. For a brief moment he had feared the Greeks would only send those necessary for the 'prophecy of seven', but oh he was so glad that his friends were not stupid enough to send less than half a dozen demigods into a war.
"You're beautiful", whispered Connor softly as he wrapped his arms around Percy from behind. "Still beautiful, even more beautiful than I remember. Have you grown? Trav, has he grown?"
"He has not", grunted Travis and rolled his eyes, burying his nose in the soft, black hair as he had his arms around Percy from the front. "But his hair surly has. I like that, princess."
"Sorry that I didn't find the time and money to go to a hair dresser while living on the streets", grunted Percy irritated and glared, before laughing in relief, his arms around Travis' neck and his head resting against Connor's shoulder. "I missed you so much. So, so, so much... I love you..."
"What do you mean when you say 'living on the streets'?", frowned Connor in a disapproving manner, showering Percy's neck and shoulder with kisses. "Surely not the streets, right?"
"Can... can we talk about all of that later, please?", begged the son of Poseidon, his eyes closed as he bathed in the attention of his lovers. "So much has happened, please, not now, now I just... I just want you to hold me, please... Can you do that?"
"Everything for you, Percy", whispered Travis softly, kissing Percy tenderly on the lips.
While Connor and Travis were busy showering Percy with kisses and Percy was busy soaking it up like a sponge, the others remained to watch a little awkwardly. Piper had pulled Annabeth into her arms, her own knife ready to defend as the blonde guy was still glaring at her girl. Jason too had Leo pushed slightly behind himself and Piper had long since learned to read this as: Fuck this, shit will go down. Craning her neck, she could see the others slowly closing in on them so that they too were circled by their own backup – Grover, Chris, Malcolm, Austin, Will, Jake, Rachel, Thalia, Clarisse, Lou, Kayla, Nyssa and Katie. A bit pathetic compared to all the Romans that circled the five more centered Romans (she did not know a single one of them). So for now, she was in fighting mood, because she had no idea whom of them she could trust.
"Jason Grace", announced a velvety, deep voice.
The strong, beautiful voice send shudders down Piper's spine as she looked up. A young woman with long, black hair and Onyx-dark eyes stared straight ahead at Jason, holding his gaze. She stood next to the arrogant looking blonde guy who had dared to threaten Annabeth (but now seemed more interested in glaring at the Stolls and Percy). The tension between Romans and Greeks broke when Jason suddenly laughed, a relieved laugh, and went to give the girl a one-armed hug.
"Reyna", breathed Jason relieved. "It is so good to see you, so very good."
"We bring news that need discussing", interrupted Rachel. "Can we... talk? Somewhere?"
"We prepared a banquet for this", nodded Reyna, pushing Jason off some. "Percy holds you in high regards and we follow his trust for now. Be warned though that if one of you poses a threat to my people, Percy will be the one held responsible for it."
"And I will have the head of anyone who endangers him", growled Octavian threateningly.
Jason frowned confused. He had expected for Octavian to be the one to scream bloody murderer, to stand back, to observe and judge, to... he had no idea what, but he surely had not expected Octavian to defend Percy Jackson. What was it about that boy that seemed to draw everybody in?
"A banquet sounds good. We've had a long flight, let us sit, feast and discuss", nodded Jason.
He pulled Leo along, making sure the son of Hephaestus stayed close to him. He knew Leo was not defenseless, he had his wits, his tools and his fire, but it still made Jason feel better when he knew that Leo was close to him and he could protect his firebug.
/break\
About half an hour later – Percy had to hug each and every member of the crew first – found the Romans and the Greeks sitting at the long tables. Greeks sat on one side and Romans on the other, the food and drinks being a line to separate them. Percy found himself face to face with a tall blonde with electric eyes and a scar on his lip. An interesting and handsome fella. On one side of Percy sat Octavian, the augur being opposite of the Oracle of Delphi, who had by now revealed herself as that too. On Percy's other side was Reyna, facing Annabeth. Next to Reyna were Hazel and Frank, opposite of them were a native American girl and Clarisse (oh, Percy loved the way the grumpy War Princess was seizing Frank up and down, judging him and probably planning on how to get her Roman half-brother in shape). Percy stared down the table to where he could see his Stolls sitting, both of them pouting. But this was about politics and even the two of them had to admit that this was not their strongest suit and that they would probably spend the whole feast trying to seduce Percy, so it was for the best of them all to put them farther away from Percy. The other Greeks were lined up, flanked on either side of those five. Those six, corrected Percy with one cocked eyebrow. The most interesting part. A petite Latino, who sat flushed on Jason's lap. The boy had tried to skitter away at first, then Clarisse had offered him her spot – which had led Percy to the conclusion that he must have been part of an important quest, part of the Seven most likely – but it had been Jason, who had pulled the boy possessively onto his lap and kept him there since then.
"...So we came to the understanding that Greeks and Romans may need to work together for this, as much as both parties may object to it", finished Annabeth, in her most polite voice.
Percy shook his head slightly, blinking a couple of times. They had traded stories – of the disappearance of Jason, his re-appearance at Camp Half-Blood, the mission to rescue Hera (and oh, how much it satisfied him to learn of her punishment), the search for Percy, the quest to save Thanatos, the kidnapping of Nico (which had revealed a stunning new development to Percy – fuck, he needed to see his Stolls with his Ghost Prince!) and now how the Argo II had reached them. Hours had passed and the moon was long since high in the sky by the time all stories were exchanged. Together with all the introductions, this had taken hours. At least the food was good.
"Percy already mentioned that Greeks and Romans fought Kronos without knowing each other and that working as a team may bring us an advantage", nodded Octavian reluctantly, still glaring.
Percy appeased him by placing one hand on the augur's thigh. Blue eyes flickered to him for a moment and he could see that Octavian was gritting his teeth. Rachel chuckled amused.
"Maybe it is time we end this discussion for the day. It is getting late and by what you told us, you've had a rough day fighting a giant and we've had a long flight. How about we call it a day and retreat to rest for now?", suggested the ginger softly. "You Romans may talk among yourselves to decide who will accompany us. If you decide you can not trust us, then we will take Percy with us and leave it at that. It is your decision if we will face this as an alliance or not."
Octavian growled like a rapid dog at the prospect of anyone taking his new pet away from him. The Sea Prince moved his hand on Octavian's thigh, which truly had a calming effect. His eyes flickered over to Jason Grace, he had already noticed the calculating eyes on him. Grace was observing them, trying to figure out why Octavian cared for Percy. By all means, Octavian would appreciate if Jason would explain it to him once it was figured out! This boy was infatuating, how come Octavian could not deny these beautiful, sea-green eyes, those long legs and that smile? Not to mention the perfect behind! While glaring at Jason, Octavian's gaze caught that of the pretty caramel-skinned boy on Grace's lap. A petite thing with big, innocent eyes and longish curls, sticking up into all directions, nearly elvish features – not so much like the elves of Santa Clause but more so like those of Middle Earth – and plumb, pinkish lips. A pretty conquest Jason had there. A cute Greek. A wicked smirk slid onto his face as a plan formed in his mind. He had always hated Jason Grace, so to take the blonde's pretty plaything as his own seemed a good course of action.
"I shall call that look on your face your world-domination-look", whispered Percy into his ear. "I think it means you've plotting evil plans. What evil plans are you plotting, Tavy?"
"Evil plans that involve sex", replied Octavian nonchalantly.
"Oh, the good kind of evil then", grinned Percy pleased and leaned back some.
"I wish to inspect the ship. If you Greeks wish to take us Romans onto a merry journey to the ancient lands – a journey that in itself is forbidden by our laws – I wish to make sure this is not some kind of trap", growled Octavian, staring Jason dead in the eyes. "Who knows this ship best? Who is the captain? I want a private tour before the night ends."
"I'm the captain", replied the pretty Latino, earning him a glare from Jason. "What? Don't look at me like that, Jason. I'm a big boy. I can watch out for myself too. I don't always need you to shadow me! And so far, the augur doesn't seem as bad as you pictured him!"
"I don't care", huffed Jason, his glare intensifying. "I'll come with you."
"No, you won't", interrupted Thalia, giving him a sharp glare of her own. "You promised you would give me a tour through New Rome and show me where you have lived while we were separate."
Another Grace. It had made Octavian's eyebrows shoot up high. Two children of the same god, but of different aspects. A child of Jupiter and a child of Zeus, both born to the same mortal. It seemed the female had her brother under control quite well, because Jason backed off some and nodded obediently. The Latino grinned delighted and proudly – he seemed to be far more than just the captain of that ship but rather also its builder – and jumped up, motioning for Octavian to follow.
"I will be gone for now, my pet", whispered Octavian, kissing Percy passionately for a last time. "We will see each other in the morning. I don't want to hear any excuses about how well those two Greek tricksters used you, you'll be ready to serve me. Are we clear?"
"Yes, sir", chuckled Percy amused, pecking Octavian's lips. "Don't go too hard on the cutey. He looks rather inexperienced. I don't want him traumatized by your... ways."
Judging by the look Octavian was giving him, the blonde had not expected for Percy to know what he was planning. But Percy had spend enough time making dirty plans himself, he knew that gleam in the eyes of someone who really wanted to get laid. Besides, he had told Octavian to take a cute Greek is he saw one and even Percy had to admit, the Latino was adorable.
"Well then, I think I'm very tired. I may better go to bed now", yawned Percy widely and loudly as he stood. "It was such a hard day. Con, Trav, would you show me to my cabin?"
"That was so unsubtle, it hurt", grunted Annabeth and shook her head as she watched the Stolls stumble over themselves to get to their lover. "I'm glad the cabins are soundproof..."
/Stolls&Percy\
"This isn't a cabin. This is more like a fuck-cave", laughed Percy from where he was hung over Travis' shoulder. "Could you possibly get more cushions and pillows in here? How big is that bed?"
"It's big enough for four people", shrugged Travis and slapped Percy's ass once. "All cabins are made for four people. And we figured we'd share with you and... and Nico..."
Suddenly the lust-laden atmosphere quieted down again and became a bit depressing. Percy averted his eyes, feeling guilty about what had happened to their Ghost Prince. Though then he found himself thrown onto the giant bed (giant in comparison to the rest of the cabin, in reality both of them were quite small), with one Stoll on either side of him.
"It's not your fault, stop looking guilty", warned Connor, caressing Percy's thigh and pushing the toga up. "We will find our Nico and we will have the hottest foursome ever. But for now, you can't feel guilty or depressed, because we need you at your best so we can get our Ghost Prince back."
"You're right", nodded Percy slowly, starting to untie his toga. "Make me feel happy again."
"A wish we're more than glad to oblige", chuckled Travis and started to undress himself.
"So... How was sex with the blonde bastard?", smirked Connor teasingly.
"Hush", chided Percy with a glare. "Octavian is really sweet. At least to me. He's mine too now so I expect you to not crack each other's skulls open, okay?"
"Only because it's you asking", sighed Travis tragically.
"You even get a treat for it", smirked Percy and pulled them both closer by the necks.
"That sounds quite good", hummed Connor and kissed the Sea Prince hungrily, struggling with his jeans. "That's one treat we haven't gotten to share in quite a while."
"Oh yes, sharing sounds good", moaned Percy as he pulled Travis into a kiss of their own.
In a matter of seconds, all three of them were naked and the Stolls had their hands roaming every inch of Percy's body. Their tongues were fast behind, tracing every new-found scar from Percy's adventure with Frank and Hazel. They disapproved of these new marks, hated that once again, the gods had endangered their precious and beloved Sea Prince. At one point, Percy had about five fingers up his ass and he honestly had no idea whose fingers it were, but he was too overstimulated by Connor's and Travis' hands and tongues and words to truly care. It was so good, to have his lovers back after all the hardships he had to endure in the past months.
"Enough, enough now", gasped Percy after some agonizing minutes. "Just take me, damn it!"
The sons of Hermes were glad to obey their beloved, Connor coming to sit behind Percy and Travis sitting in between Percy's legs. Together, they lifted the delicate boy off the bed and, in a way they had trained quite well with Nico in the past months, positioned each other at the eagerly awaiting entrance of their lover. Both moan in bliss as they entered the heat they had only been able to dream of for the past months. The virginal tightness of their enchanted Sea Prince embracing them like the long-lost lovers they were. They moved in sync, one thrusting deep and hard as the other pulled out some, both ensuring to stretch and tease the beauty between them. Percy's nails were digging into Travis' shoulder blades as the pleasure grew more intense and his moaning became louder.
"Missed this so much", murmured Connor, kissing and biting Percy's shoulders.
"Missed you so much", corrected Travis, his teeth scratching along Percy's collarbone.
But Percy himself was beyond words. It felt just too good to have a proper bed beneath himself and feel his lovers' touch on his heated flesh, their hard cocks pondering his ass mercilessly and their soothing words lulling him into a state of utter bliss. All too soon he felt himself coming hard to the jerks of his tricksters' hands, the world fading for a second as he was overwhelmed by his orgasm. The sons of Hermes grunted and groaned as they made to pump their seed deep into the Sea Prince at their joined orgasms. Percy gave them a sluggish smile as they rested him on the mattress. He held onto them, throwing pleading eyes on them to make sure they stayed within him.
"I want to fall asleep still joined with you", murmured the son of Poseidon sleepily.
Connor and Travis grinned broadly at each other, each kissing one of Percy's cheeks softly.
/Octavian&Leo\
Leo wasn't sure how he had ended up being pressed against the mast by the blonde Roman that was not Jason and even less so how both their pants had dropped or how Octavian's cock had found its way inside of him. But he was positively mortified by how me enjoyed the augur's hard thrusts and dirty words. He may have been able to fight Octavian off, but no, he found himself loving the control the blonde possessed over him as he was fucked hard.
"A cute, little Graeco", whispered Octavian, biting Leo's shoulder hard. "My cute, little Graeco."
With that, the blonde came deep within the Latino, his fingers digging into Leo's hips so they surely would leave bruises. Yet Leo barely found it in himself to care how he would explain this to Jason, he was too much in a pleasurable haze. The augur gasped and panted as he pulled out and collapsed on the ground, highly pleasured. The haze seemed to fog even more as Leo seemed to lose complete control over his body and only briefly did he worry if he had lost control before too.
/Reyna&Piper&Annabeth\
While most other Greeks were still busy drinking and eating with the Romans, Reyna had obliged the request of the beautiful blonde and her rough beauty of a bodyguard and decided to show them New Rome. Despite herself, Reyna found herself trusting the two Greek beauties. And it seemed to come as a surprise to the two other girls too, for they shared knowledge with her that had not yet been shared during the banquet. Annabeth told her of the Mark of Athena, the lead to what the excessive research of the children of Athena deducted must have been the hidden place where Romans kept the lost statue of Athena. Reyna frowned displeased at these news.
"The theft had caused a major rift between Greeks and Romans", concluded Reyna cautiously. "You say you and your second in command, your brother, will take on the quest? It had been stolen by Romans and if it were to be returned by a Roman, it may appease the gods. I will come with you."
Before Piper and Annabeth could object or question her, the Argo II set Camp Jupiter on fire.
Author's note: I know, kind of a cliffhanger. But I wanted to stop where Leo attacks New Rome!
Next chapter will have them leave New Rome - how are Reyna and Octavian going to handle the 'betrayal' of the Greeks though? And there will be bonding time between Annabeth and Percy; will SHE get the truth out of Percy about what happened to him while he was with Hera? And Jupiter and Pluto will come to see their Lost Lover! So stay tuned. ;)
