The Mark of Perseus

Athena's Gratitude

Chapter 7: Jason and Octavian

Percy stood on deck of the ship, unsure how they had gotten into this situation. They just been soaring over the Mediterranean sea, but then they had hit a wall of fog. And just as sudden, they had been invaded by pirates. Dolphin-pirates. Percy had actually always liked dolphins. The dolphins had easily manhandled the crew while Percy faced off the captain. Tyson was roaring the loudest as their half-brother was attacking Percy. The cyclops didn't do well with sibling-rivalry (which was why he had been very happy that Triton and Percy 'got along' now).

"Brother!", exclaimed Tyson, struggling against the dolphins. "Bad fishes!"

"Ty, calm down", suggested Grover next to the cyclops concerned. "You'll only distract Percy."

Tyson looked upset, but he settled down some. He didn't want to catch his brother's attention at the wrong moment and get Percy hurt. Percy was already struggling enough against Chrysaor. The blasted son of Poseidon and Medusa was tough and his back-up was literally tied up.

"You're a pretty one", noted Chrysaor and held onto Percy's chin.

"Let go of our Percy!", exclaimed Connor furiously, struggling in the hold of the dolphins.

"You're my little brother, the one whoring around on Olympus, aren't you?", smirked Chrysaor.

The pirate with the golden mask was leering down at Percy as though Percy was an especially ripe piece of meat. Percy gulped and shifted uncomfortably. This guy had overpowered him so easily, thrown Riptide overboard and Percy was still waiting for his sword to return to him. But Percy wasn't the only one who's heart was beating frantically. Sure, everyone was trying to figure a way out to help, to free themselves, but most of them knew Percy, had known him for years. They knew Percy could hold his weight. But Jason didn't know Percy that well. He only saw the boy he had just gotten together, being molested by a monster. The pirate had his hands on Percy's butt, groping it. And the blonde Roman was very much like his father; he was possessive and he didn't like when others touched what was his. The intentions of Chrysaor were very obvious. Jason was seething. Similar to Jason, Octavian didn't count in many chances for Percy. But unlike the son of Jupiter, Octavian kept a clearer mind. He was a manipulator, not a fighter.

"You will anger our captain if you don't let us go soon", warned Octavian. "Captain Bacchus won't like that you delayed us. We're just on our way to deliver his... precious possession over there. The one your captain is molesting. Imagine how angry Lord Bacchus will be once he learns of that."

The dolphins grew antsy, concerned. Dionysus had been the one to turn them into dolphins. Octavian smirked as he saw them fidget and stare anxiously over at their own captain.

"He's right!", agreed Annabeth loudly. "Everybody knows Percy is the gods' lover. What do you imagine Dionysus will do if he learns that you helped Chrysaor kidnapping Dionysus' most valued possession? He'll do far worse than turn you into dolphins, that much is for sure!"

"If you help us now and retreat, surely we can forget about this incident", added Malcolm.

The dolphins went into a frenzy of fear and actually pushed Chrysaor overboard, the fear pushing their adrenaline. The demigods can only stand and stare surprised after them. Riptide returned to Percy's pocket and he wasn't sure what to think when Octavian and Jason pulled him up.

"Are you alright? Did he hurt you? Do you want to sit down?", asked Jason in a rush.

"Dude, he groped me. I'm fine", grunted Percy with a deadpan.

Travis and Connor exchanged an amused look. They had been angry too that this jerk was touching their Percy, but they also knew that if the pirate had gone any farther, Percy would have broken the dude's arm and kicked his ass. It was Percy Jackson they were talking about, after all.

"How about you two take our Percy and comfort him about this trauma?", suggested Connor.

"Yeah, he looks all shaken up", agreed Travis mischievously.

"Thieves", warned Percy annoyed. "I'm not shaken up! If someone is shaken up, it's... Oh. Yeah."

It was them. So the suggestion was more the other way around. Percy should take the blonde Romans and get them to calm down again. This way, they were useless. Percy grinned to himself, putting his acting-skills he had achieved while attending drama classes with the muses to work. Whimpering softly, he swooned and collapsed against Jason's chest so the son of Jupiter could hold him upright and feel like the only support there was to keep Percy save. He knew that always worked for Zeus, so he figured it'd also do something for Jason. And it did. The blonde straightened, got more confident as he wrapped his arms around Percy and lifted him up.

"My strong hero", sighed Percy, laying his arms around Jason's neck.

Jason carried Percy toward Percy's room – the room with the biggest bed – and placed the son of Poseidon on it. Octavian followed them and closed the door behind them. By the time the Romans turned back to the bed, Percy was sprawled out in a seductive way, his shirt hitched up.

"Please, touch me, make me forget the bad man's touch", whispered Percy lowly.

It was cute how fast the big, bad manipulator was manipulated himself and shrugging out of his robes. Jason followed him tail. Once both Romans were naked, they helped Percy out of his clothes too. The son of Poseidon spread his legs in invitation and his blondes were fast to take that invitation. Percy was laying on his side, Octavian holding one of his legs up, kissing along the sun-kissed appendage, one hand tracing Percy's spine, teasing Percy's lower back. Jason all the while was paying attention to Percy's front, showering his torso with kisses, caressing Percy's cock.

"Stop it with the teasing, start with the fucking", grunted Percy annoyed.

Octavian grinned amused, slipping one finger into the slick entrance. Maybe he should ask Lady Venus to also bless Leo? It would make things easier. He was the first of the two Romans to enter Percy, the tight muscles giving way easily for the intruder, but still choking Octavian's dick. Jason was deep-throating Percy, circling the head with his tongue while Octavian gave it a few first thrusts. Only after the augur first hit Percy's prostate and made the Sea Prince scream did Jason let go of the aching hardness of his lover to line up besides Octavian. He was slow as he pushed into the tightness, feeling Octavian's cock pulsing beside him. It had been weird at first, sharing a lover with a guy he despised, but Leo and Percy were so worth it. Octavian's fingers were playing with Percy's nipples, twisting the pink nobs until they were dark and hard, earning him whimpers from Percy. Jason all the while busied himself with jerking Percy's cock. Percy was whimpering and bucking his hips back against their cocks as they fucked him, both at the same time. Percy had a hard time keeping from coming, but he wanted to exhaust those two. They needed some sleep, they were so on edge and electrified – urgh, stupid Jupiter-pun. He pulled himself free from them, leaving them confused and frustrated. Grinning slightly, he changed their position so he was between Octavian and Jason – his ass pointing at the augur, his lips up against the praetor's cock. The blondes seemed pleased by that too, Octavian thrusting back in while Percy swallowed Jason whole. Soon enough, both blondes were thrusting again, hard and fast. Octavian's fingers were bruising Percy's hips and Jason was practically fucking Percy's face. This was good. Now it was Octavian's turn to make Percy come – and the augur knew how. Moaning around Jason's cock, the son of Poseidon came onto the sheets. The vibration of his moan send Jason over the edge, but by now Percy knew how to swallow a load without choking on it. Thrusting back against Octavian's motions, he urged the augur on to join them in the bliss of a finished orgasm. Octavian growled and came, deep inside of Percy. It gave Percy a weird pleasure to have his lovers fill him. The blondes fell and collapsed on the bed practically instantly. Grinning amused, Percy draped the blankets over the sleepy blondes. They had spend so much time on strategy, watch-out, fighting. They needed the rest. Kissing their cheeks, Percy got up to get dressed in something comfortable. A pair of Finding Nemo boxers and... Percy gulped as he stared at the shelf with their belongings. This was supposed to be their cabin – his, the Stolls and Nico. Travis and Connor had brought some of Nico's clothes, expecting to find the son of Hades in New Rome. Taking one of the black shirts, he put it on, sniffing at the scent of death and earth and pomegranates, clinging to it. The sadness was chased away again when Percy turned around and found his two blondes asleep and snuggling in their sleep. He would have loved to have a camera and take a picture for later blackmail.

"My cute Romans", grinned Percy and sat down on the other side of the bed, not tired.

He got comfortable, reaching out for a book. Yes, he was reading. He had befriended the muses during the short time he had spend in school this year and those girls were persistent on making him a better student, getting him into the arts and books. Kafka, Shakespeare, Dickens. They had gotten him copies in ancient Greek, to make it easier for him to read. And if he understood the language, reading was actually kind of fun. Mostly in the aftermath of sex though, when his lover was knocked out beside him. It gave him such a nice, domestic feeling in a way.

"Uhm... Are you... finished? Can I come in?", asked a shy voice as someone knocked on the door.

"Sure. But tune it down, my Romans are asleep", replied Percy and put his book back regretfully.

He had a lot of catching up to do, had missed months of this school-year. But he didn't want to slack, didn't want to be held back or even to have to change schools again. He was going to accomplish this, finish this school year just as he had started it.

"Hey, Percy. I... thought we could talk, maybe?", asked Leo shyly and entered the room.

"Sure!", exclaimed Percy eagerly and sat up. "What do you want to talk about?"

He had been curious about the fire-bender for a while now. Not just because of the obvious – another elemental demigod – but also because he shared two lovers with the Latino. Leo looked briefly surprised when he saw the cuddling blondes on the bed, but then he joined Percy.

"Uhm... It's... Apollo told me some of your... rules, he called them", started Leo slowly. "And I kind of tried them out, but I don't really know. It works, but it's weird... Do you... have more?"

"More rules? Sure", nodded Percy, his legs drawn up against his chest. "Which ones did Apollo tell you and why did you have problems with them? Did your Romans break them, or what?"

"Apollo said rule number one is that if they can't play nice, they can't play at all. And rule number two is that... that I'm in charge", answered Leo reluctantly. "I'm just... I don't do being in charge, that's why I picked myself dominant lovers! And it makes me feel bad to, well, pick favorites..."

"Hey", whispered Percy softly. "You're not supposed to pick favorites. It's just about your desires. For example, when I feel like being tied down, I go to Dionysus, because he has a thing for bondage. When I'm in the mood for merman-sex, I obviously go to Triton. When I want to have tender love-making, I go to the underworld. For rough sex, I have Ares. That's the perk of having multiple lovers. You chose them after your mood, not after theirs, because otherwise, you'd have them at your ass all the time, because the thing about multiple lovers is that when one gets you, others tend to get jealous and want some too. That's why you have to establish that you're in charge, that you decide who takes you when. If you let them fight it out, it'll only end in blood-shed."

"I get that. I need to get order into it, but...", started Leo upset. "What if they don't like the way I pick? Or if they feel that I spend more time with one of them and not with the others...?"

"You don't want any of them to feel neglected", nodded Percy knowingly, reaching out to trace the purple shell brooch on Octavian's discarded toga. "Show them that, regardless of how many lovers you have, they still belong to you. That they're yours. That's what the shells are. They're my sign, my mark that I leave on my lovers so they and everybody else knows they're mine."

"Okay", nodded the Latino thoughtful, his tinkering mind already thinking up something of his own. "But still, what if they don't like the way I chose? If I make a mistake there?"

"Hey", whispered Percy, cupping Leo's cheeks. "You can't make a mistake. You care about them all, don't you? So whoever you chose when can't be a mistake and if their little animosities are more important to them than you, well, then they don't deserve you."

Leo frowned, still a little unsure. He wasn't used to people caring about him, fighting over him. Percy took pity on him and pulled him into a tight hug, ruffling his curls.

"It'll be fine, little flame-thrower. They'll get used to it. Took me months to make the Big Three get along too, just give them time", promised Percy. "They care about you, Leo. A lot."

Leo was feeling lighter and better by the time they reached Rome. The crew split up. Reyna, Annabeth and Malcolm had already left to follow the Mark of Athena, other teams were send out to look for repair materials, to check for any lead of Giants or Nico. One of those teams were Leo, Frank and Hazel. The Latino was feeling good and safe between them, one on each of his hands.

"You're cheerful", noted Hazel, whispering into his ear. "I like that. Cheerful you is adorable."

"Thanks", grinned Leo sheepishly and blushed a little. "I had a good conversation with Percy."

"Mh, Percy is amazing", agreed Frank with a small grin.

"So... you want him too?", asked Leo, borderline afraid.

"What? No!", huffed Frank and rolled his eyes. "He's an amazing friend. But he's not my type. Just because he seduced all of Olympus doesn't mean he's irresistible. I like little fire-imps far more."

Leo caught a little fire around the ears at that, earning himself a laugh from both Romans. The trio was heading over toward the Pantheon, following a lead. Once inside, the three split up. But as always, Leo got easily distracted. There was a crying child, little boy with messy, black hair and pale skin, wearing a blue hoodie and white jeans. He was maybe five or so.

"Hey there, kiddo", whispered Leo and knelt in front of the boy. "Are you hurt? Or lost?"

"Mommy?", asked the little child and sniffed as he looked up at Leo.

The Latino was stunned for a second. Hazel had been the first person Leo had met with golden eyes, but this boy, he had silver eyes. Not gray, real silver, like moving quicksilver, changing, nearly liquid. He had never seen such eyes before. Something was definitely different about this kid.

"You lost your mommy?", asked Leo concerned. "Hey, my name is Leo. I could help you find her, mh? Will you tell me your name, little one? Can you maybe even tell me your mommy's name?"

"I'm Jack", said the boy, rubbing his eyes, still sniffing. "I dunno mommy's name. Is mommy."

"Mommy is mommy", sighed Leo frustrated. "Uhm, what does mommy look like?"

"Pretty!", exclaimed Jack excitedly, his eyes sparkling like stars as he waved his arms around widely. "Mommy's really, really pretty! Nice smile and green-green-green eyes! My hair!"

Okay, so Leo was looking for a pretty, green-eyed woman with black hair and a nice smile. Standing up, he wanted to reach out for Jack's hand, but the boy had his arms stretched out, demanding for Leo to carry him. The Latino obeyed. The boy was just too adorable to deny.

"Leo. We're looking for Nico, why did you steal a child?", sighed Hazel frustrated.

Leo turned guilty-eyed toward his two lovers. Frank and Hazel looked at him nearly scolding. At least until they saw the crying boy Leo was holding. Hazel leaned in some, cocking her head.

"That's Jack, he lost his mom", explained Leo embarrassed. "I didn't steal him."

"Yeah, looks more like you stole Leo, mh, little one?", asked Hazel teasingly, poking Jack's nose.

"Yes!", giggled Jack, grabbing her finger. "I'm a thief! Thieving thief! Is my Leo now!"

"No, that's our Leo", objected Frank with a frown. "How about we find your mom now?"

"I wanna keep the Leo", frowned Jack confused, clinging to Leo. "Leo's nice."

"You're nice too, Jack", grinned Leo and ruffled the boy's hair.

He put the boy down again and the four of them looked around. And before Leo could even react there was a woman, running toward them, picking Jack up, telling Hazel she was his mother and since the boy acted like he knew her and cared about her, so Hazel let her take him. But the woman had been brunette and her eyes had been blue. Leo frowned and ran after them once he noticed, but as he left the Pantheon, they were gone. Just disappeared, as though they had vanished.

Piper groaned frustrated as she sat together with Jason and Thalia, having a picnic. It was Jason's birthday so Jason celebrated with his female best friend and his sister. Percy was out, following a different lead together with the Stoll-brothers, Tyson and Grover. Rachel has had a vision about some shady staircase and since she had seen water, they had send their water-bender. Rachel, Ella and Octavian were on a secret mission to break into the Vatican and steal some ancient Roman and Greek stuff they had kept for a long, long time. The image of Rachel, Ella and Octavian dressed in black and sneaking through the Vatican to the Mission: Impossible theme made Piper smile for a moment and forget that her two girlfriends were currently endangering themselves in a stupid mission for Athena. She stuffed her face with cake, pouting.

"What got you in such a nasty mood, Pipes?", questioned Jason with one cocked eyebrow.

"It's just... I want to be there with Reyna and Annabeth, making sure they're safe", whined Piper.

"Annabeth is a tough girl and that Reyna-chick is a real daughter of war", grunted Thalia and rolled her eyes. "They'll be fine without you. Just lean back and take a break for once, McLean."

"Easier said than done", hissed Piper, taking another piece of cake.

/break\

While Annabeth, Reyna and Malcolm fought their way through tunnels to find the giant statue of Athena, the other demigods were regrouping at the ship. Hazel was clinging to her brother's sword, at least until Percy and his group arrived. The son of Poseidon looked so heartbroken that Hazel just had to hand him the weapon. Percy traced the engravings on the Stygian-iron sword.

"W—Why is there no Nico attached to Nightmare?", demanded Percy to know.

"We found his sword, that was the lead I was following, it was placed under the Pantheon in a hidden workshop as bait, Gaia tried to trap us, but Leo saved the day by using some strange Archimedes-stuff that was left in the workshop", explained Hazel softly.

"Leo saved the day, as always", agreed Leo with a cheeky grin.

"We know where Nick is", interrupted Percy, his eyes wide and afraid. "We were stuck in the pool of some nymphs. Let's say they were pissed and tried to kill us with bad water. We managed to sooth them and they thanked us by telling us where the Giants are hiding."

"So we know where we have to go to kick some giants' asses?", grunted Clarisse, her fingers itching for some action. "What are we still doing here then?!"

"We shouldn't all go", interrupted Katie concerned.

"Right", agreed Jason and turned to Percy. "Who should go?"

"W—Why are you asking me?", asked Percy, looking like a deer caught in the headlights.

"Nico is your lover, you're the default leader of the Greeks and here are more Greeks than Romans. Now, what do you think we should do, Perce?", replied Jason, caressing Percy's hair.

"Katie and Hazel, because of their powers over the Earth. I want you and Thalia as backup in the sky, since Gaia can't sense that. I want Leo and Piper at my side, as well as Clarisse and Frank. Jake, Nyssa, you're still busy with the repairs anyway, right? Okay. Grover, Lou and Chris follow Rach and Tavy to the Vatican, make sure they're safe. Will, Kayla and Austin, stay here and be prepared for any injuries. Tyson, Travis and Connor watch out here, in case they attack the ship."

"I like it when you get all bossy, babe", whispered Connor and kissed Percy's cheeks.

"Go and return our Ghost Prince", added Travis, kissing Percy's other cheek.

"Well, you guys heard the big boss, let's get going. We have a son of Hades to rescue!", declared Leo and hit the table-top. "And for the fun of it, we should get that done before the brains return!"

"This isn't a competition or race with Annie's quest", snorted Piper and rolled her eyes.

Author's note: Next chapter will feature Reyna being a badass and protective girlfriend over Annabeth while Arachne is being a dick, there will also be the rescue of Nico, much Nico pampering and smut between Nico, the Stolls and Percy.

As an explanation for the Jack-scene: He's still too young to properly control his teleportation so when he tried to get to his mommy, he only generally managed to reach the place where Percy is at the moment and that's Rome.
