This is basically a rewrite of my Au series into one fic. If this is your first time reading, no worries as you will not need any additional info before diving into this fic.

I do not own any of the original Percy Jackson series, that title goes to Rick R'iordian.


California

Percy set the last bag on the bed and stared at the pile of suitcases. He ran a hand through his hair, letting out a huff.

He always had mixed feelings about going to see his father for the summer. He was happy to see his father, but he was so ingrained into his work that Percy is usually left stranded with his stepmother or his half brother.

"Percy have you packed?"

"Yes mom I packed everything I need" Percy slumped on the bed.

Sally tapped her fingers on the doorframe, "You haven't seen your father in a year, I'm sure you're making it sound much worse in your head than it will be."

"It's not my father I'm worried about."

Sally sat besides him on the bed and pulled her son into a sideways hug. "I'm sure your stepmother will understand you more this summer."

Percy snorted "You say that every year".

"Well it's true, your first year of high school really matured you."

Percy shrugged, and his mother patted his shoulder, "Let's not forget I gave your father permission to let you join in the rescues that he does. I expect you to stay on the boat and spectate, I don't need a call saying you got bit by a shark."

Percy frowned, "The shark wouldn't bite me, they only bite people who swim around like a seal."

"Percy..."

Percy rolled his eyes, "I'll stay on the boat."

"Good. I made your father promise that as well, but I'll trust your word than his any day. Now I know you'll have a good time this summer, and don't stress about it as you'll make yourself miserable."

Percy nodded, it's been this way since he was three. He'll stay in California with his mother during the school year and then he'll fly to New York to stay with his father over the summer. This would mark the twelfth year of the tradition.

His family was very limited on his mother's side. Basically it's just him and his mother, but she married his stepfather Paul five years ago.

He liked Paul, he's a lot nicer than his step mother Amphitrite. Plus he would take anything over his mother's ex boyfriend smelly Gabe.

His father's side more extensive as Percy had aunts, uncles, and cousins, something that he didn't share with his mother's side. He didn't have grandparent's on either side as his mother's parents died in a plane crash and his father's parents...

He actually knew nothing about them as no one mentioned them, it was a forbidden taboo topic. He's unsure why that is, but it's a unspoken agreement amongst all of the family.

His father also has a wife and another son. His stepmother Amphitrite never really liked him. He supposed that's somewhat normal as the fairy tales he grew up with paints the step-relatives as evil hatred people. She never harmed him physically but her mouth has a mind of it's own towards him. She of course doesn't mock him around her husband but it isn't like he was with his father all the time during the summer.

His half brother Triton is not much better than his mother. They always fought when they were younger as there was only a two year age gap between them. Triton doesn't even acknowledge him anymore.

"I expect you to call me if you need anything, or if you need to vent about your step mother or your half brother."

Percy shook the thoughts out of his head, as his mother's voice came through the wall of memories.

"I will."

"Good, now let's get all of your luggage in the car so we can get you to your flight on time."

Sally and Paul helped him load up the car with his luggage. He glanced back at their apartment as he did every time before he left for the summer. Percy will miss the small apartment, which wouldn't make sense to most people as he'll get upgraded in New York. His father owns a big house and a decently sized pool in the backyard, though his mother's simplistic apartment lived in Percy's heart.

After putting the last bag in the trunk, he slowly shut the trunk and took his spot in the backseat behind the passenger seat. Paul got in the driver seat while his mother got into the passenger seat.

Percy yawned, it was only four in the morning and his flight leaves at 5:45 in the morning, so he'll get to New York in a reasonable time. But as it was so early in the morning, the first rays of the sun hasn't blessed it's presence in the horizon.

Percy leaned his head on the closed window, mindlessly gazing at the passing scenery, as some eighties music played in the background.

"Are you excited to spend time in New York?" Paul asked.

Percy shrugged, "It'll be the same as it is every year."

The car grew silent, nothing but the low hum of the music filled the space. Percy sighed and leaned his head back on the car window once more, gazing through the scenery. It wasn't until the vehicle crept up the steep hill that another car to the left of them swerved and hit their car sending the three of them flying off the cliff.

All Percy could remember was hearing the squeal of tires and the crunching of metal. The noise was overpowered by the feeling searing hot pain spreading through his body. The pain was too much for Percy to handle as his vision began to dim into the darkness.


In New York

Poseidon groggily rubbed his eyes as he waited for the coffee to brew. It's a beautiful Friday morning - scratch that, a beautiful Friday afternoon. He took a second glance at the clock on the microwave. 2:13 P.M.

Usually he doesn't sleep in, but his job has him overworked and exhausted. He only has today off since he picks up his son from the airport. Even though he's the founder of Olympion Rescue Aquarium, he doesn't get the luxury to relax and rank in the dough. Although he admit he is loaded, he still doesn't get to sit back and relax.

He is the lead rescuer of marine animals along the east coast. Meaning he travels state to state and assists with saving sea critters - usually trapped in stupid fishing nets or in negligent plastic tossed into the Atlantic. Most of the time he frees them and they're safe to continue their merry life in the sea. In other cases when they're not so fortunate and require medical attention, they air travel them into his aquarium while his trained veterinarian Delphin operates on them. Then they remain in his aquarium until they're healthy enough to be released back into the sea.

There's been a drastic amount of emergency calls in the past week as more and more plastic and garbage are tossed into the sea, making life near impossible for these critters to live in. He ran a hand down his face in frustration just thinking about it.

The only plus side about this, is that for the past week he was able to bring along his eldest son Triton to help. He's training him to help in these rescue missions and one day lead them. Triton just finished his junior year of high school over a week ago, hence why Poseidon was able to him along. And Poseidon will be able to bring his youngest son Percy along next week after he picks him up from the airport today.

Triton and Percy aren't full-siblings, they're half-siblings. Poseidon had Triton with his current wife Amphitrite when he was eighteen. He broke off their relationship with Amphitrite within three months of their son being born. He then moved to San Francisco for college and met Percy's mother Sally at college. Two years later Poseidon proposed after he heard she was pregnant.

That is when shit hit the fan for his side of the family. His father was never pleased with him to begin with, he didn't think he was pleased with any of his other siblings either. Kronos grew furious that he ended up with a girl like Sally. Sally is one of the nicest and most generous person Poseidon has ever met, a true queen among the people. His father didn't care about her personality, he only cared about her financial state. He didn't want her to "ruin" the family image. Poseidon cut him out of his life shortly afterwards his youngest was born.

It was supposed to be a happy moment, but that moment was tarnished by anxiety and concern as his father found another way to contact him. Poseidon still hasn't figured out how he did it, but Kronos sent threats through mail. They contacted the police but they were no help. The letters kept becoming more and more persistent, Poseidon kept pushing their marriage back, hoping the threats would cease. It never did. He decided it was best that they would split for the safety of their son. Poseidon left California when Percy was three. That's when he started getting custody of Percy over the summer, then he would be with his mother for the rest of the year.

After Poseidon moved back into New York, he shared custody of Triton with Amphitrite. She began flirting with him again, and then one thing lead to another. He ended up marrying her four years after he moved back. Triton was nine and Percy was seven as they tied the knot. The rest is history...

If only Amphitrite and Triton could get along with Percy. Things were rough when the yearly tradition with Percy living with them in the beginning.

Amphitrite would blatantly insult Percy in front of Poseidon and gave Percy all the chores, Poseidon quickly shot that down. She seemed to get along better with his son throughout the years, but he's beginning to suspect that she is putting a facade in front of him, and treating Percy different when he isn't around.

Triton isn't that much better around him. When they were younger Triton would purposely break his toys or steal them. Poseidon convinced myself that is normal behavior since his older brother Hades did the same to him, and he recalled doing the same to his younger brother Zeus. It got to a point that Poseidon had to severely punish Triton after he found him beating Percy up when Triton was thirteen and Percy was eleven. After that Triton just ignores Percy, and Poseidon put up with it since at least they're not hurting each other physically anymore.

Poseidon leaned his head back sipping the hot coffee, enjoying the quiet bliss of the house. Amphitrite is at work, she works for a health insurance company. Triton is at the aquarium, he employed him their a year ago. Nerus is running the aquarium today, he is the second-in-command there, he is a stinky old fisherman, but he does a great job with rescuing, so Poseidon doesn't complain about him, well not around him at least he doesn't.

Poseidon glanced back at the clock, finding it only has been five minutes past since he last looked at it. He sighed, he doesn't have to pick Percy from the airport until four, and that isn't for another two hours.

Poseidon almost finished his cup of coffee when his cellphone rings. He looked at the screen, seeing it was a unknown number he groaned. If he doesn't recognize a number, it's most likely a call for a rescue. Poseidon made sure Nerus would get all the calls today, but he guessed one call slipped pass him, and the person ended up calling Poseidon instead. He braced himself for an angry complaint for why the rescue wasn't being answered.

Poseidon answered the phone with a polite, "This is Poseidon. How may I help you?"

"Is this Poseidon Olympian?" A man's voice spoke on the phone.

Poseidon rolled his eyes at the question. How many Poseidon's can there be? "Yes, this is him. How can I help you?" He repeated.

"Are you the father of Perseus Jackson?"

That question caught him off guard. "Yes I am. I'm sorry but whom am I speaking to?"

What the caller responded with, is what every parent dreads to hear. "I'm police officer Lee with the San Francisco police, your son Perseus Jackson has been involved in a serious car accident. You need to get to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital immediately."
