The Mark of Perseus

Athena's Gratitude

Chapter 2: Pluto and Jupiter

Shit went downhill from there on. Annabeth and Piper ran after Reyna in a crazy haste as they heard the war screams of Romans readying themselves for defense. The three girls nearly ran into Jason and Thalia as the two of them returned to the ship too.

"What happened?", asked Thalia wide-eyed, staring at Annabeth.

"Leo just burned half of Camp Jupiter, so either you move your asses up here or you stay here, because we are going to leave right now", called Clarisse from the ship, letting the latter down.

"Leo? What? Why would my firebug do that?", asked Jason completely confused.

"You can ask him that later, move your ass up there", ordered his older sister.

Jason followed his sister reluctantly, looking down at his best friend with pleading eyes. Reyna was the praetor, she couldn't abandon the Romans. But after all the Greeks he had around him, he truly had wished for someone he knew, he had trusted for years. The one that had become his sister in times he had not even known that he had a sister. But Reyna was focused on Annabeth and Piper.

"I shouldn't-", started Reyna slowly, taking a step back.

"Please", interrupted Annabeth and took her head. "What you said about the statue. It was taken by Romans, it's a rift between Greeks and Romans. If a Roman were to bring it back, it would unite both sides. Please, come with us. We need you for this quest. Be our Roman."

Reyna wanted to be angry, to think this was a trick, an assault, but when she looked into those intelligent, gray eyes, she saw Annabeth's honesty. And the way she and Piper were looking at Reyna made the 'be our Roman'-part sound quite different suddenly. Without thinking about it, she found herself climbing the latter after the two Greek females. While she was still climbing, the ship was already taking off. This was not good. She was becoming an enemy of the state, traitor to her own people. For the sake of two pretty girls and the maybe-mission to bring peace?

/break\

Chaos was the only way this situation could be described. Octavian liked to tie up his lovers, but he normally did that when sex was involved and not when his partner just set Octavian's home on fire. The first impulse had been to kill the traitor. But then the hazy-clouded eyes cleared and Leo looked at him with those sad, guilty and confused eyes and he realized that the Greek had not done it willingly. He must have been possessed, judging by the clouded eyes. Still, if he wouldn't have been there to see it, he would have been the first to demand a death sentence.

"Why are you tying the cute imp up?", asked Frank with a glare as he reached the deck.

"Because he just attacked Camp Jupiter", grunted Octavian, returning the glare.

"Why would he do that? He looks too cute and innocent to do such a thing", frowned Hazel.

"He was possessed. I doubt he'd be able to harm a fly otherwise", snorted Octavian.

"I can hear you guys, you know that?", yelped the flustered Latino, tugging on his bounds.

"We came here because of the fire. Wanted to see if Percy is alright and what is going on", answered the daughter of Pluto while sitting in front of Leo. "Hello. I'm Hazel. What happened?"

"I know who you are. I was listening during the banquet", muttered Leo and blushed more. "I don't know what happened! One second, Octavian was fucking me against the mast, the next I'm attacking the freaking Roman camp and can't control my body anymore!"

"I've been told that I fucked my partners into a brainless state before, yet never so literally."

"Oh, screw you, augur", snarled Frank annoyed. "This is serious! What are we going to do?"

The three Romans and the tied-up Greek exchanged a worried glance. And if the minds of the three Romans went to dirty places upon looking at the still blushing, sex-rumpled and tied-up Latino, then that was a problem to be contemplated at a later date.

/break\

Percy was struggling with the button of his jeans as he stumbled out of the cabin, followed by his tricksters. Rachel and Ella came from the room next to them, holding a book – the Oracle had just been in the middle of exchanging prophetic lines with the friendly harpy as the shot had shaken the ship. From another cabin came Chris, Grover and Tyson, all looking sleepy and confused. Percy led the group up onto the deck where Malcolm, Lou, and Katie were already trying to defend their ship against attacking Romans while Jake and Nyssa tried to steer away from camp. Will, Kayla and Austin were crouching around a tied-up Leo, with a half-circle of Hazel, Reyna, Frank, Annabeth and Piper around them. The most interesting part was where Jason and Octavian were trying to kill each other, with Thalia trying to pry them off each other and Clarisse cheering them on.

"What in the world is going on here? Can't I even get my welcome-back fuck without something blowing up in my face – something that is not my lover, mind you", groaned Percy annoyed.

"Ew, Percy. Just... ew", huffed Annabeth and hit his arm. "Try being serious."

"Sorry. I just don't react well to being ripped out of post-orgasmic dream-bliss", muttered the son of Poseidon. "Now, what's going on here? And why is Tavy trying to kill the other blonde Roman?"

"Jason blames Octavian for Leo's action. Leo shot New Rome, being possessed – according to Octavian at least. But we don't see a reason why the augur should lie, so my brothers and I are examining Leo", answered Kayla, while poking Leo. "He has no idea what happened to him. Aside from the whole getting-fucked-by-the-augur thing. Which, are you fine with that?"

"Oh yeah, I allowed Octavian to take every cute Greek he finds", nodded Percy dismissively, crouching down in front of Leo. "As long as said cute Greek is okay with it. I mean, I do have other lovers too after all. So, cute Greek, are you okay with this? What happened before?"

"I have a name. And why is everyone calling me cute today?", groaned Leo annoyed and glared at the Sea Prince. "I... uh, I mean, Jason said it would be okay, because he wants to fuck you anyway so I figured I could too, if, I mean... I'm rambling. Damn. I was showing Octavian the ship and talking about it and then he chuckled and said he found my enthusiasm cute and then he kissed me and the next moment I was pressed against the mast and got fucked six ways to Sunday."

"Okay", nodded the son of Poseidon slowly and stood. "Well, you guys seem to handle the formerly possessed one really well. Keep him under surveillance until we're really sure what happened. And I'll take care of the two blondes before they kill each other."

"That's a good idea", agreed Reyna a little amused. "I have... things to discuss with Piper and Annabeth. And those look as though they can control the ship and the attacks quite fine."

"Right. Once everything calmed down, we're going to talk about this", grunted Percy confused.

Staring curiously at the daughter of Bellona and the two Greek girls, Percy turned his attention over to the fighting Romans. For a moment, he joined Clarisse and Thalia and just watched. Nothing like two hot guys fighting. Still, they needed more focus, so he stepped up to them and grabbed both of their necks, pulling them apart with a glare. Octavian looked very close to pouting, Jason looked furious. This was not good. Heaving a sigh, Percy sat down between them.

"Okay", grunted Percy, glaring at Jason. "Leo said you allowed him to fool around if he wanted. Because you want to get into my pants? We're going to discuss that later. Oh, I need to make a list of things I want to discuss later, damn it. Anyway, it's not cool to beat up your lover's lover. Tavy didn't do anything, so calm down, Grace. Tavy? No beating others up. Now, both of you, go and get yourselves checked by one of the Apollo-kids. We don't need you with concussions."

/break\

Percy rubbed his face exhausted. They had a long, boring meeting once they were out of Roman's reach. Things were settled. Leo had been possessed – they could agree on that, the Latino had not done it on purpose. Still, now they had most of the Romans chasing after them and they had major repairs to do. And they were lacking materials. A quest of three had been send to collect the riches Hazel could feel beneath the Earth – Leo, as the one knowing best which parts would be useful, Hazel, as the metal-detector (as Percy had lovingly dubbed her) and Katie, for her connection to the Earth. They had soon noticed that the children of nature – especially so those of Demeter – had a better feeling for when the Earth grew nasty and Gaia was approaching. Nyssa and Jake were drilling most others around to get as much done as they could until the metals would arrive.

"Perce, love?", whispered Travis concerned. "Why don't you go and lay down?"

"I'm not a damsel in distress, Stoll", warned the son of Poseidon unimpressed. "I don't need a nap."

"We know you're not a damsel in distress, princess", smirked Connor amused, caressing Percy's neck. "But just... You're undernourished, Percy. Don't think we didn't notice last night. You've been living on the streets for weeks. Much shit has happened to you recently and we're enough people to do the repairs, so why don't you just enjoy the warm, soft, comfortable bed?"

"They're right", interjected Jason, surprising the Stolls and getting Percy's attention. "I remember the awful headache I had after all memories returned to me. I doubt the screaming from Nyssa and Jake is helping that any. We got this covered. And I promise I won't try killing the augur again."

Percy chuckled amused at the son of Jupiter and left the others to the repairs. They were right. Percy's head was still buzzing with pieces of memories returning to him – completely unimportant things like how he cheated on this test or how disgusting Nancy Bobofit's freckles were. His whole life was trying to catch up with him. Especially so the months with Hera. The life him and his mother had spend with Smelly Gabe, it was back on the front of his mind like it had only just happened last night and not five years ago. Grabbing his head, he entered the cabin he shared with his Stolls. Everyone else was outside, doing repairs under the Hephaestus kids' watchful eyes.

"You're here!" - "You're alright." And then a chorused: "You're beautiful."

Frowning surprised, Percy looked up to the two eager puppies in front of him. Metaphorical puppies. In reality, they were strong, handsome gods. But the way they looked at him as though he was the most delicious bone to pick, they looked like two oversized puppies. Electric, sky-blue eyes stared at him hungrily, a white toga with golden embroidery hugging the muscular frame quite nicely. The other wore black with silver embroidery and his pitch-black eyes bore into Percy's. Both their togas were held together with purple shell brooches. Percy stared in awe.

"W—What are you two doing here? The gods are... I... What?", stuttered Percy overwhelmed.

"Our brother got to have you! Even the war brat got to you!", snarled Pluto irritated and stalked over to him. "My son got you. Before he got abducted. Nothing would stop me from coming."

"Us", corrected Jupiter with a nasty glare toward his brother, also stepping up to Percy. "I may have banned contact to demigods, but you are... you are you. We can't abandon you."

"Not?", asked the son of Poseidon carefully, wrapping one arm around each of their necks.

"Perseus", grunted Pluto confused, one arm around Percy's waist. "What's that supposed to mean? We are never to abandon you. We told you so often before. I thought we were past this."

"Well, my emotions and memories are all over the place", muttered the Sea Prince with a frown. "And you're kind of Roman, which really freaks me out. So let me be a bit off."

"We are never going to abandon you", whispered Pluto into Percy's ear softly.

"And if you wouldn't be so stubborn and just take our offer, you would join our ranks and be with us for all eternity", grunted Jupiter, obviously very annoyed, squeezing Percy's ass.

"I will", whispered Percy, barely audible, leaning against his two gods.

"You will?", asked both of them stunned.

"I... the island... Hera... I can't...", mumbled Percy incoherent, shaking his head. "I can't ever feel that weak again. I want godhood. I want to be her equal to kick her butt."

"What did our sister do to you?", growled Jupiter dangerously.

"Not now", said Percy and shook his head slowly. "Now I just want you to show me that you're never going to abandon me, that you're always going to love me. Make love to me."

To underline his words, Percy slowly shed his clothes. Mostly so because he knew how much his naked body distracted his lovers from anything. And once again, it worked. Within seconds, he had two naked gods attached to his body, kissing and touching and generally mumbling nonsense. Percy was laying on his side, getting kisses trailed down his spine by Jupiter and his nipples bitten by Pluto. Staring more intensely at the gods, he noticed how their features shifted some. Not completely back to what Percy knew, but somewhere between Greek and Roman. Just as Mars/Ares and Poseidon/Neptune had done. It was interesting. New. Percy liked it. His thoughts were interrupted by the sensation of fingers propping his entrance. Pluto was tender in his movements, just as he was as Hades. The way Pluto's heated mouth engulfed his member was also quite distracting. Jupiter had his arms wound around Percy's torso, twisting his nipples while leaving a hickey on Percy's neck. As always, Percy basked in the attention. Their mouths were just too good, after thousands of years of experience, that was no surprise.

"C—Can we get to the sex, please?", whispered Percy, thrusting back onto the fingers. "Please?"

"You are so hungry", laughed Jupiter amused, moving to position himself at the prepared hole.

"I've been going without sex for months. Without you for months. I need to reconnect."

"I can totally go with 'reconnecting'", snickered Pluto, licking his lips before licking the length of his lover. "You are so amazing. I could have sex with you all day."

"No, you couldn't", snorted Jupiter, thrusting into the tight heat. "We all want some of that."

Getting one of the best blowjobs ever (no one would ever believe how good Hades was with those) and getting fucked by the King of Olympus, yes, that was totally reconnecting. Percy was unsure if he wanted to buck back against Jupiter's cock or forward into the warm, wet mouth of Pluto. But the moment he came, together with Jupiter, was more release than normally. Not just an orgasm, but the feeling of laying in the arms of two of the three most powerful gods. Feeling them holding him, kissing him, loving him, it was amazing. He loved his lovers. He started feeling drowsy.

"Perseus?", asked Jupiter softly as Percy snuggled into his chest.

"Let him rest. He had a rough time", chided his older brother as Pluto curled around Percy.

Hazel practically collapsed against Frank's broad chest in exhaustion after she returned from her little quest with Katie Gardner – quite the interesting young woman – and Leo Valdez. There weren't enough words to describe the Latino imp, really. Even though the boy had acted though as he had tried to distract Narcissus and his fangirls, Hazel had seen the insecurity. That was not how Leo was thinking about himself and that surprised her quite a lot, because the Greek was sexy and adorable and quite cunning too. Humming softly to herself, she leaned into Frank's embrace.

"What are you thinking about?", whispered the son of Mars curiously.

"About Leo", answered Hazel shortly. "He's... intriguing. And I just can't get his words from earlier out of my head, how he and Jason have an arrangement to... share. Is that bad?"

"The arrangement or that you can't get it out of your head?", teased Frank amused.

/break\

"Jason? You alright, man?", asked Frank slowly as he plunged down on a bed.

They had managed most of the repairs and got released to rest (those children of Hephaestus started to scare him a little). Frank and Octavian had been assigned to share a room with Jason and Leo – and Jason did not look happy about it. He still had the black eye to prove that.

"I just... I told Leo it would be alright to have other lovers, but... I didn't anticipate the freaking augur!", grunted the frustrated son of Jupiter, ruffling his hair annoyed.

"Well, you're both tall blonde Romans", shrugged the son of Mars confused.

"I... guess you're right...", frowned Jason, staring over at his friend. "But... still. It's Octavian. I'm just... afraid he'll hurt Leo or harm him. I want to protect him, but how am I supposed to do that and to co-lead this quest and try kicking Gaia's butt?"

"You're not leading the quest alone, you're not going to kick Gaia's butt on your own, so maybe you don't have to protect Leo on your own?", suggested the Asian softly.

"What do you mean?", asked Jason, lifting his head to stare at him quizzically.

"Well, Hazel and I talked and... Leo is cute and you guys seem to be into this sharing-business, so would it... Would you mind if me and Hazel would try our luck with him?", elaborated Frank, his voice soft and his ears red. "I mean, he is seriously one of the cutest things I've ever seen and seeing him tied up earlier was not helping the matter any."

"This is one of the weirdest conversations I've ever had", noted Jason with a frown. "And I got The Talk from my immortal-virgin-huntress sister who I didn't even really know I had."

"Man, I wish I could have listened in on that conversation", whistled Frank with a small grin.

"It's fine, dude", whispered the son of Jupiter after a while. "I mean, go for it. I brought this upon myself by daring Leo to find other Romans. But... I meant it, I guess. He's really self-conscious and I... He's wonderful. He's amazing. He needs to learn to love himself so I guess it would help if he'd know that others love him. And I would really appreciate if someone would help me keeping Octavian from corrupting my little firebug."

/break\

"Love? Princess? You asleep?", accompanied by a poking of his cheek.

"Yes, Travis, he is asleep. Stop poking him, damn it", chided Connor and rolled his eyes.

Something Percy shouldn't have seen because Percy was supposed to sleep. Glaring up at the Stolls, he waited for them to climb into the bed. Jupiter and Pluto were gone. Of course they were gone. They were gods, important gods. And with the Doors of Death situation, Pluto surely had both hands full. And Jupiter, what with being the king of Olympus and all that jazz, yeah, Percy wasn't really feeling dumped or anything. He could relate. He had other things on his mind aside from post-coital cuddling too. Besides, this situation would be quite awkward if Pluto and Jupiter would still be here what with the Stolls returning. One trickster snuggled up to either side of him. This was good too. As long as he got his cuddles from someone he loved.

"What's eating you away, Perce?", asked Connor softly.

"There is something on your mind", added Travis with a frown, trailing kisses along Percy's collars. "Huh. Who visited you while we were slaving away under the Hephaestus brats?"

"Jupiter and Pluto", answered the son of Poseidon slowly.

"Well then, he can talk", snorted Connor with a glare, poking Percy's nose. "So what's the deal with you? Don't think we didn't notice that you have not lost a single word about the months before you ended up on the street. Not during the banquet, not during the meeting we had earlier."

"And it's not just us. The whole crew", noted Travis with a frown. "We love you and they are your friends. They worry about you just like we do. And we, as a Greek collective, are worried."

"I'm not talking to you about this", murmured Percy. "And that's final."

"You leave us no choice. We'll send Annabeth after you, if we have to", threatened Connor.

Author's note: Due to the whining when I posted the contest, I wrote new chapters for every story so you'll also have your updates and are not disappointed - I hope I get grateful reviews for that work. ;) - So the CONTEST WINNERS are up!

The next chapter will have Bacchus and Vulcan. Also, the Stolls really aren't above sending Annabeth after Percy. Sooo... time to spill some secrets. ;3
