3rd person POV

The gods entered the lobby of the Empire State Building. The lobby didn't look that busy, mostly because people were already in their offices. The marble on the walls was still shiny like new. The engraving of the Empire state was still frozen on the walls. The man was still sitting in the security desk, reading the paper. Some of the gods flashed a wave, however, him reading the paper, ignored them. Zeus noted to himself to punish the man at the security desk later for being so rude. The ceiling was high, and it looked beautiful. Athena couldn't help but admire the design of the interior, even though she would make a few changes herself. She never really looked inside the lobby because she would just flash onto Olympus and she was always so busy with her godly duties. She would be secretly guiding other people at war with battle plans, or help to inspire others to create something innovative that would change the world.

"Okay, here are all the bus cards" Athena said while handing them out. "As…er..my mother said, we need to take public transportation to get home". There was a chorus of groans from everybody, including Poseidon and Apollo who just said they were optimistic about the whole endeavor. Wow.

Everyone headed towards the doors and they stepped outside onto Fifth avenue to buildings with New York souvenir shops and big businesses like McDonald's and Walgreens. People were walking with hurry or walking slowly taking in the scenery of the tall Empire State Building, taxis were honking at other cars. The air was a perfect 73 Degrees, and the sun was very bright.

"Gees Apollo," Hades Grumbled squinting,"mind turning down the intensity a bit!"

An upset Apollo recited a Haiku in response. "Adam Is Stupid,...

I do not control the sun,...

I'm so so awesome" 'Oh us no, Apollo is going into one of his poetry phases again' Artemis thought to herself in despair. Before Hades could retort something, Demeter thought it would be a good time to put in more rotten things to say about Hades. Today was just hate on Hades day.

"You know what else Adam is?" Demeter asked then replied with her own answer, "he is a no good, dirty, cheater, who-"

"Dem-" an angry Hades, who was tired of Demeter's comments, started but then later corrected "April, do you always have say something that either involves cereal, or bad mouthing me? Have you ever asked yourself who you are? Well I'll answer for you! You are just a conniving, little-"

"Okay!" Artemis interrupted the impending argument, but also she could tell Hades was about to use that word that men used to say that a woman wanted it. ' Men' She thought thought with disgust. 'Aw!' thought Ares, 'They were about to fight! Of course it's Artemis who ruins all the fun! She's so boring and stuck up'. Mortals were already starting to sneak looks at the two. The ground was slightly shaking, cracks were starting to appear underneath Demeter. The plants seemed to grow a bit more near Hades, almost wrapping around his feet. "We need to get to our apartments, we have no time for this"

Hades grumbled and said something about dumb cereal goddesses while Demeter said something about the god of lawyers being much better. All the gods started walking east on 34th street, then down Park Ave. to the 33rd St. subway station.

All of them pushed their way down the stairs of the station. The Gods and Goddesses wrinkled their noses. The station smelled gruesome, like a mixture of metal and pee. People were quickly going through the station turnstiles as they paid to get in. The gods followed the mortals lead and headed towards the turnstiles. Apollo had trouble getting in at first and held up a line full of angry people. With help from Hermes, he was able to get through. They waited on the platform for their train. Demeter nor any of the other gods didn't like being underground like this. They were sort of nervous. This isn't their domain, but it is Hades' domain.

The train arrived at the station and all of them filed inside. There was graffiti on some of the frames where there were supposed to be advertisements. Disturbing yet catchy music played from the background from someone's phone. 'S*%ted on 'em, put yo numba twos in the air if you did it on 'em!'

Everyone went to different groups and places on the train. Hades tried to avoid everyone and went to a nice secluded corner and looked out the window while drumming his fingers on the seat, thinking about how he would survive if he was dead in his own domain with a bunch of people who would probably hate him.

Apollo sat with Hermes. Apollo tried to flirt with girls while Artemis, who was sitting next to Athena who was trying to read the MTA pamphlet, had a murderous look pointed at Apollo.

"Hello there sweetheart" He flirted, starting his Haiku. The girl looked at him with a do-you-really-think-I'm-going-to-go-out-with-you look.

"I'm going to call the cops,

you just stole my heart" The girl shook her head, and left to sit somewhere else. Artemis's glare was then replace with a smug look. 'Serves him right! Thinking he can flirt with girls!'

Hermes eyed other people's pockets and speculated whether there was valuable items around and if it was too risky to steal them. Then his mind turned to pranks that he could play during the school year. 'Those kids won't know what hit them'

Hephaestus just sat in another seat by himself while tinkering with metal scrapes and eyeing Aphrodite and Ares. Aphrodite was looking at other potential tragic love stories that could happen between two people while Ares had an arm around her. They were open with their relationship even in front of Hephaestus because Hephaestus knew that it would always be hopeless for him, he wasn't comfortable with people. He could always just avoid being with other people in his workshops, but now he was forced to go to school in an unfamiliar environment with other people he couldn't get along that well with.

Poseidon was standing, holding onto the pole next to Hermes and Apollo and zoned out, thinking about how in about a week they were going to go to the same school as they're children. He had no idea what he was supposed to do. Was this going to interfere with the ancient laws? He couldn't believe this was actually happening.

Zeus was eyeing all the other puny mortals that were going about their day. Then realized in despair that he was also a puny mortal. Not just a puny mortal, but a demigod, who always have tragic endings at such young ages. Were they even going to make it through the school year?

Demeter sat near the door. She was going to be the first to get out of Hades' domain and onto the earth surface, even if it was an urban area and there were no fields of crops in sight. She looked at all of the other people on the train. Some of them looked starved. She wished she could give them a nice big bowl of cereal, they really needed it.

They waited a while. Others got on and off at different stops. Some of them were about to doze off for having to sit in one place for a long period of time, but they reached the 59th St. stop. All of the gods ran out of the train and onto the surface again. They were glad to be out of the underground subway and under the nice sun, well, everyone other than Hades. They walked down to their apartment that was on 62nd street and 3rd Avenue. Poseidon thought something was fishy (get it? lol). 'Sally and Percy live somewhere near here' He thought to himself. They kept walking until they finally reached the place, 201 62nd street.

"Crab" (lol)

"What is it Kelp Brain?" Athena questioned.

"This is where my son lives"

A.N: OOOO, They are going to have a lot of trouble keeping their identity secret this year, and Poseidon is going to see Sally and her new life and her new HUSBAND, oh snap! I have nothing planned. So, what do you think should happen next, comment or PM me. BTW, Rick Riordan doesn't stalk his fans on Fanfiction he said, and I qoute from his website "No, never. I am aware of fanfic, but I go out of my way to avoid it…...I have to admit I find fan fiction a little unsettling. It's like somebody getting into my closet and trying on my clothes. It's just weird seeing someone else try to write about my characters," he said a bit more. But I can understand if he feels weird about it, and if anything, it would be weird if he was reading fanfiction. So far without the AN's there has been 4,821 words. Welp, bye
