Gaining the Family's Favor

PART III: The Final Boss

"I can't believe you flew me out to Kaua'i, Jackson", sighed Annabeth pointedly.

"You're my best non-Grover-friend and you're the only one who hasn't met my boyfriends yet and technically, my dad's paying and you know he can afford it", countered Percy lightly. "Come on, you get a free vacation. How are you complaining about this?"

"I have to side with Percy on this one", agreed Sally fondly. "Hello, Annabeth."

Annabeth smiled as she was being pulled into a hug by Sally. Sally had always been like a mother to Annabeth too, had even helped Annabeth rekindle with her stepmother. She had always had an open door, a place to sleep when Annabeth ran off for a night, always knew how to sooth Frederick Chase. Sally had always been the mom of their entire friend-group and they all were grateful to have her in their life. So of course, when Percy had called her and told her there was a plane-ticket to Kaua'i so she could spend a vacation with Percy's family, it was hard to say no. (It was impossible to say no, because honestly who in their right mind would say no when their best friend's rich dad was willing to pay for such a thing to make his son happy? And Annabeth knew that Poseidon was more than willing to spend a lot of money to try and make up for years of missing Percy's childhood. Occasionally, Percy liked to take advantage of this.)

"You just invited me as a buffer between your boyfriends and your dad", muttered Annabeth.

She glared pointedly at Percy over his mom's shoulder. Sally laughed at that, knowing it to be true, as they parted and left the airport together. The Jackson-Blofises (and Percy's add-ons) had arrived earlier today, Annabeth's plane from San Francisco landing a couple hours later.

"There's more to arrive later today", chimed Percy, changing the topic slightly.

"Oh. Are Grover and Juniper coming too?", asked Annabeth eagerly.

"No. They have this stupid thing called 'work'. It's annoying", huffed Percy.

"Then who else is coming? Isn't it... enough... that your poor, traumatized boyfriends have to face me and your dad? Who else are you objecting them to?", questioned Annabeth.

"Oh no, this one isn't on me. With all the meet-the-family thing, Nico had started talking about how he wished he could introduce me and Jason to his family too, but they live all the way in Venice and he doesn't get to see them too often either, so—o", drawled Percy.

"So you used the sad-kitten-eyes on your dad and he invited them here too", concluded Annabeth.

The smile on Percy's lips was very broad and also very telling. Annabeth rolled her eyes, though she had to smile a little too. What good was a filthy rich biological father if he couldn't pay for a few small things? Still, she just wanted to crack Percy's boyfriends, she didn't need to get to know their family and have them in the way of skull-cracking (...figuratively. Most likely).

/break\

"Ciao, bella", greeted the absolutely stunningly beautiful young Italian woman with a smile.

A very charming smile. Her long, black curls fell freely to frame her face, her eyes nearly black and completely stealing Annabeth's ability to speak. She hadn't been this obviously flirted with in a while and she was lost as to how to react to that.

"Damn. I did not expect that to work, Neeks", commented Jason stunned.

"If there is one thing I have learned about lesbians, it's that they are really very useless when a woman is interested in them", stated Nico with a smirk. "And the di Angelo charm never fails."

"But how could you know that Bianca would be interested in Annabeth? Even lesbians require more than 'also a lesbian' to date", whispered Percy into Nico's ear with a frown.

"One of the pictures of you that I showed her and mamma was of you, Annabeth and Grover during your vacation last summer. Bianca has been bothering me about the pretty blonde since then."

Bianca rolled her eyes at her brother and shoved him. "Say it any louder, useless brother."

"Not that useless! I introduced you to 'the pretty blonde'! Be a bit grateful!", huffed Nico.

Turning her smile back on, Bianca opted to ignore her brother and instead focus on Annabeth, who found herself absolutely distracted by the Italian woman. Damn it. She knew what Nico's intention had been here and it was working. Though it also gave Nico some plus-points from Annabeth, because this had been a very smart plan and Annabeth appreciated smart. Especially when it gave her a gorgeous woman clearly interested in her.

"I'm... Annabeth", offered Annabeth with a smile. "Bianca was it, yes?"

"Yes. Bianca di Angelo. It is a pleasure to meet you", replied Bianca with dark eyes.

Percy grinned to himself and leaned back in his seat between Nico and Jason. Okay, one threat eliminated. And good too! Annabeth really could use, at the very least, a nice distraction. She tended to bury herself so much in her work that she forgot to have a life. And it looked as though his mom and Nico's mom had really hit it off too, Maria di Angelo and Sally were laughing as they shared stories about their sons. Probably embarrassing stories, but as long as Maria was laughing and having fun and feeling welcomed – that was all that mattered.

"Your son really makes mine happy", noted Maria with a pleased look on her face. "Him and Jason both. Nico hasn't smiled that much and laughed that much when we talk in a long time."

"I could say the same about your son", countered Sally. "Percy is so happy with those two."

Jason was ducking his head, being honestly kind of glad that his own mom was too busy with a film-shoot in Rome to be here – even though Percy and his father had offered to invite Jason's family along too. Work got in the way and right now, Jason was relieved about that because having three mom gushing about the three of them and having Beryl maybe tell embarrassing stories about him to the other two women? She'd definitely tell the stapler-story. Jason shuddered.

"You two. Father wishes to speak with you in the kitchen."

Jason and Nico startled as a large, scary man rested a hand on one of their shoulders, standing right behind Percy. The family resemblance was impossible to deny; in front of them stood a maybe fifteen years older version of Percy. Triton Kaimana, Percy's older half-brother. He glared at them until they got up and hurried after Triton toward the kitchen. Triton came to stand in front of the door, effectively blocking the exit, still with a stoic expression on his face. But he was not the most terrifying sight around, because Poseidon just swung a butcher's cleaver, cutting the large lump of meat in front of him, blood splattering everywhere. Jason took a subconscious step behind Nico. But there was not much 'behind Nico', thanks to Triton blocking the exit.

"I hear the two of you are dating my son", stated Poseidon, cleaver still in hand as he worked with the meat. "I hear he is very happy with the two of you. My... sources, and my ex, assure me of that."

"W... We... do our best... to... to make him... happy... sir", offered Jason reluctantly.

"Good", nodded Poseidon pleased, letting the cleaver come down again, the sound of it severing the meat and hitting the table beneath it startling both Jason and Nico. "Very good. And I'm sure it is in all of our interest that you two keep doing your best, don't you?"

"Yes, sir", replied Nico, clinging nearly painfully onto Jason's hand.

"I'm sure you've heard a lot about me", offered Poseidon casually, putting the cleaver down and taking a towel to clean his hands off the blood. "See, I'm just a normal business man, owning my surf-shop chain and my sea-food restaurants. Nothing more. Absolutely nothing to be afraid of."

"Of... course, sir", nodded Nico, side-eyeing the cleaver still stuck in the meat.

"Oh that? That is just some shark-bait I'm preparing for a customer who wants to go diving with sharks. Fun business, but oh so dangerous. And those sharks, they just eat everything, you know, boys?", explained Poseidon cheerfully, clasping their shoulders nearly painfully.

"Tourists just keep disappearing with no explanation all the time", tagged Triton on dryly. "That's what happens when you challenge a force much greater than you. Nature, I mean, of course."

Nico nodded stiffly, feeling as though he just lost a couple of years of his life to this encounter. Yet all Poseidon and Triton did was smile and lead them back to the table, to a nice, calm and from thereon out non-threatening family dinner. Percy really was not to be messed with.

~*~ The End ~*~


Author's note: Since I built Poseidon up like that, I felt compelled to also include a third part with him - and I REALLY wanted to feature Nico's plan unfolding! xD But this is the DEFINITE ending for this universe. *grins*
