Chapter Eight

Jason

Friday August 6th

When they got back to House a new message was on the screen.

All six children have finished first week of training.

Step Four: Accomplished

All six children have received weapon of choice.

Step Five: Accomplished

"Well, I'm going to go watch a movie," Percy announced going into the living room. He turned on the TV and scrolled through the list on the TV.

"What movie?" Bianca asked.

"Um…Avengers, I think."

Thalia rushed into the living room and hopped on the couch, nearly crushing Percy. "Cool."

They were about halfway through the movie when Percy suddenly got an alarmed look on his face. "What time is it?"

"It's, two to three-thirty," Nico said glancing at his watch.

"We're going to be late!" Bianca yelled. "We need to change."

"There's no time," Jason reasoned. He knew that if they wasted time to changing their clothes they would be late.

"We have a good two minutes until three-thirty," Thalia shrugged. "Besides, I already have the key. We'll only be like five minutes late if we're quick."

The six of them ran to their rooms. They came back out nearly in unison and they were basically wearing the same thing. The girls wore skinny jeans and blouses with a pair of flats—except for Thalia who wore black sneaker wedges with golden studs. The guys wore slacks and button-down shirts.

They wasted no time running out of House and into the Empire State Building. They ran into the first vacant elevator they saw (which took a good three minutes) and Thalia quickly swiped the card across and firmly pressed her finger on the 600 that popped up. The women they had taken the elevator from had been sneezing and coughing like there was no tomorrow. Now Jason felt like he was going to be sick.

"Nico, time?" Thalia asked.

"Three thirty-nine."

"That's not bad," Jason insisted.

Percy nodded, "We said we wouldn't dress up, now we're dressed up. We said we'd be late, we're barely late. Not bad."

Thalia shrugged as the doors opened. The six cousins ran down the hall and burst into the room.

"We're here!" Nico yelled.

Everyone's heads snapped towards them. Around the table sat the fourteen Olympians. Several of them looked annoyed and rolled their eyes, one person smiled at them and others looked amused.

Hades glanced at his watch, "You're late—again."

"Only half as late as last time," Nico reasoned.

Zeus stood, "These are our children. Thalia, Jason, Percy, Hazel, Bianca and Nico. We expect you to treat them with the respect of everyone else." Jason grinned at that. A bunch of old people have to listen to them just because of their fathers? Maybe this wouldn't be as boring as he had originally thought. There were six empty seats next to their fathers. Three beside Hades and three beside Poseidon. Percy sat right next to his father and Thalia and Jason sat beside him. On the other side, Nico got to sit nearest Hades with his two sisters on his right.

Zeus sat back down, "I think it'd be best if we had you introduce yourselves."

Each Olympian stood and went around introducing themselves. And while they did, Jason noticed distinctive things about each of them. Aphrodite's kaleidoscope eyes matched Piper's. From the little he had seen Annabeth, he always looked at her eyes. A stormy shade of grey like Athena's. Ares tough guy look reminded him of Clarisse, Hermes glint in his blue eyes gave off the vibe 'Stoll Brothers' and Apollo's grin was like Will's. Everyone knew Percy was the spitting image of Poseidon with their raven coloured hair and sea green eyes. Thalia also inherited Zeus' dark hair and they both got his eyes. Nico and Bianca were both light-skinned and had dark eyes and Hazel hadn't taken much from her father except for a few facial features. But with the other Olympians it was the little things.

Hades spoke afterwords, "Back to the task at hand—"

"Hey," Percy interrupted staring at Athena, "You're Annabeth's mom."

Athena seemed startled, "Well, yes—"

"And you're Piper's mom," Jason addressed to Aphrodite. "And Silena's."

She nodded.

"And," Nico went on, "Ares, you're Clarisse's dad."

"And Frank's I think, too," Hazel suggested. "And Hephaestus, you're definitely Leo's dad…and Beckendorf's…and Sammy's uncle." She added the last part in a whisper.

"Hermes, you're Luke's dad, right?" Thalia asked. "And Travis and Connor's."

They continued to name each one off. Demeter was Katie's mom and Will was Apollo's son. When they got to the last four, it became tricky, "Zoë, Grover, Juniper, Reyna," Percy repeated. They each studied each of the Olympian's faces trying to find a match.

"I give up," Thalia said throwing her hands in the air. Everyone else did the same.

Aphrodite started to laugh and soon all of the Olympians had joined in, "What's so funny?" Thalia demanded.

Athena spoke, "You can't expect everyone on Omáda to be one of our children."

"Oh," Bianca frowned.

"Now we're behind schedule," Hades grumbled. "Let's talk stocks…"

Hmm, kinda short. And very much a filler. Oh well. By the way, I put in the dates in because I, personally, was getting confused.
