Chapter 1:
Brian Rogers, a son of Athena,and the assistant of the Secretary of Defense sat in the back corner of the war room. He was trying his best not to glare at Luke, who was grinning smugly at the son of Athena upon recognizing him. "Ugh, the NERVE of that traitor!" he thought to himself bitterly. Once Luke had told his boss all about the little "threat" his boss went into lock-down mode and immediately called for a secluded war council. Luke, being the cheeky little jerk he was, insisted that Brian come with for the big reveal. Brian honestly wanted to punch the blond right in the face for even being there, let alone sharing one of the biggest secrets on Earth. He can't say the urge had minimized since then.
Thankfully for him, one of the many generals in the room, General Davis, asked the Secretary for an explanation for the council meeting.
Brian got really happy right about then, he felt like he was in a classroom and Luke was a kid who got caught by the teacher. Surely everyone in the room would not believe Luke's story, it was surprising enough that the Secretary of Defense believed him this quickly, but a bunch of war veterans? No way.
The Secretary of Defense answered the question for Luke. "He's a valuable informant, and as for the meeting, well, a new problem has arisen and we need to be prepared."
General Davis snorted, "What threat are we facing? You can't tell me that you're seriously considering what those paranoid hippies are saying about Saint Helens, are you?"
"Of course not! There's something we need to face here in the country, more specifically, New York."
"And what, do tell, is this giant threat in New York that's so eminent you had to call all of us here?"
The Secretary paused at this point, how does one answer that question without looking like a crazy person? He stood thoughtful for a moment before Luke got up from his seat, choosing to stand at the center of the room.
"That one's simple, we're facing Greek Mythology." He stated, simply.
More than a couple people in the room started laughing when they heard that. Was this kid serious? Brian smirked from his seat, whatever Luke's plan was, it would fail now. No one would believe him based on blind faith and it's not like Luke could just show them. For one, he didn't have any noticeable special abilities from Hermes, his godly parent, nor could he really show off his sword, or bring a monster into the council room. Brian saw no potential plan where Luke could come out successful, unless...but no, it was impossible. There was no way it was actually going to work anytime soon.
Luke seemed to sense Brian's train of thought and openly smirked in his direction. That really didn't help Brian's urge to punch the traitor.
"What I'm telling you is absolutely true and should not be treated as a joke. Greek Mythology is true. You actually have living proof here, in this room. I believe his name is Brian Rogers," Luke addressed the crowd while pointing at Brian.
Brian froze a little, not expecting that. 'At least now I can make sure no one believes Luke,' he thought to himself. "What are you talking about?" He questioned, innocently. All eyes were on him, especially his boss's.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about, Brian. How's camp doing by the way?"
A/N: OK. so I know I said I would update on Thursday, but I wanted to take more time to fully edit the chapter. At this point there will still be several grammar mistakes. I never was very good at it in school...Anyways, I've found that my chapters will probably be relatively short. Sorry about that, but stuff happens. Next chapter is going to start focusing on Annabeth and Percy. In case you haven't figured it out, this will be during TBL and forget canon, this is AU. A fair warning to you all, I sometimes mess up FanFic with the actual story, so there WILL be some noticeable slip-ups I will not notice. Just tell me and I'll fix it. Until then, GOODBYE
