Author's Note at the end of chapter. Not really important, just something to help explain about my absence in December and to understand more about Estelle and Sam.

Chapter 6: Surprise! My Brother is Joseph Joestar!

Percy gave us the tour of Camp Half-Blood.

Camp Half-Blood is a safe haven for demigods so that they can train and learn to defend themselves. Many of these kids have unique powers and abilities they can use to protect themselves. But, the moment these kids find out about their origin, their scents become more active and monsters are able to sniff them out. Which is why many of them are still out there, in hiding. Most of them are even shunned by society because they are different and nobody will know why. That would explain about Percy and Sam being bullied in the past. And the crazy part? Sometimes the kids will head out to the world for some crazy adventures, fight monsters and save the world.

"So, let me get this straight," I said. "This is a place for those with godly blood in them and are learning to control their powers and do fun camp activities and go out and save the world by doing missions called quests?"

"Pretty much, yeah," Percy answered.

"…This is just like the X-Men," I replied.

"Oh my god, it is!" Sam agreed.

Percy was gonna argue with me about comparing it to a comic book series. But, I mean, come on! They both are a safe place for kids with powers; do normal people activities like school or summer camp and send them to do dangerous missions and save the world; even the adults are demigods teaching the younger generations how to fight and survive! The only thing missing is if the camp was being counseled by a crippled Patrick Stewart.

Ugh, getting off track here. Anyways, after our talk, Sam got even more excited.

"Do you tend to have people with powers to shoot lasers or teleport? What about telekinesis or transformation?"

Sam was asking a lot of X-Men related questions about Camp Half-Blood. Percy tried to explain to us how the Camp is different to the X-Men. But it's gonna be really difficult to convince Sam otherwise. Anyways, Percy showed us more about the camp. The infirmary was near the center of Camp which mostly involved the cabins for the campers. So far it seems that there's dozen of cabins and each one represents a different god. I noticed that they also have both Greek and Roman names of the gods. When I asked, Percy said it was because there's also Roman demigods too. I found that confusing because it's literally the same thing, just with different names. Though I can tell from Percy that it was gonna be a long story to tell. He said that once he finishes the tour, he'll talk about how this all happened around the time he found out about himself.

He showed us a lot of stuff here at Camp. Apparently, the Camp is being protected by a giant energy barrier that prevents monsters from attacking. They even got some regular camp events such as Arts and Crafts; canoeing; volleyball, and they even have a strawberry field. It looks like an ordinary summer camp with an Ancient Greek theme to it. The only difference? The camp also has an Arena for combat training, an Amphitheater for camp meetings; even a freaking Forge and Armory area too. And get this, they even have a Pegasus stable.

Pegasus!

Literal flying horses exist!

Sam and I have dreamed of riding one since we were little and watched My Little Pony. Tell anyone and I will hunt you down.

Percy showed us around the stables and… we were just amazed by the pegasi and wanted to pet them. Percy told us it's not safe to pet them because some of them are a little mischievous. I asked how he knew that.

"I can talk to them."

"Huh?"

"Yeah," Percy replied. "I can talk to horses and fishes. I'll tell you about that later."

Percy did not elaborate and continued the tour.

I… I don't know what else to say at this point…

So let's just move on; As Percy continues the tour, we reach toward the counselor's house. Percy calls it The Big House.

"This is where our counselor, Chiron, lives. It's pretty much where we can plan for camp activities, battle plans and prepping for quests."

"I'm sorry, battle plans?" I asked.

"He's referring to strategies for capturing the flag activity," Said another voice. Sam and I looked toward the entrance and saw a man in a wheelchair, he looked about the same age as Percy and had a scruffy beard. And unlike Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), he has hair.

At this point, you might as well cue the X-Men 90's theme song.

"Estelle, meet Chiron, the Camp Counselor, a centaur… and a friend."

I look at Percy with a raised eyebrow.

"Percy, the counselor is on a wheelchair. Like Charles Xavier."

Chiron laughed.

"You must be Estelle Blofis. Percy told me a lot about you."

"I hope they're good things," I replied.

Chiron chuckles, "In case you're wondering, I am indeed a centaur, but I am greeting you in my human form. So that way I don't shock you too much about everything."

"Well, I appreciate that, Mr. Chiron, sir. But, we got attacked by Tweety the bird and her big ogre friend."

"Actually, that was the Minotaur."

"…I'm sorry, what?"

"The Minotaur, a half-human and hal-"

"I know what a minotaur is," I interrupted. "I meant, why was the freaking minotaur involved?!"

Chiron replied, "On that, I do not know. But, it seems he was very delighted to have his rematch with Percy."

"I'm sorry, WHAT?!"

After asking many (and I mean a lot) questions, Percy said he'll explain it all later. For now, we had to discuss Sam's situation.

"Percy explained to me about the situation. Unfortunately, I do not know why Vulture and the Minotaur were near you two."

"Vulture did say something about scouting. Maybe she was looking at a place she was planning to attack?" I said.

Chiron seemed pale as Percy spoke, "Chiron, you think they're gonna attempt to attack Olympus?"

"Olympus? You mean Mt. Olympus?" I asked.

Chiron and Percy explained to me how Olympus actually exists in New York, right on top of the Empire State Building. I used to go there sometimes with mom and dad. To think that this whole time it was a meeting ground for gods.

"But why would she attack what would most likely be a heavily secured place?" Percy said.

"She did say something about her master. She may have been working for someone," I added.

"Chiron?" Percy asked. "Do you know something?"

Chiron took a deep breath and nodded, "I will tell you about it later, Percy. For now, let's get the girls some rest for today. In a couple of days, we will be having our Capture-the-Flag event."

Sam gasped excitedly, "Can we join?!"

"You will, Samantha Stacy. For now, we need to introduce you to the campers tonight."

"What about me?" I asked. "Can't I join?"

"No," Percy answered. "You can't join, Estelle. Camp activities are a lot different here."

I scoffed, "Come on, it can't be that bad. What, you guys use foam swords and shields to pretend to be Greek warriors?"

Chiron laughs, "You, Estelle Blofis, are a lot like your brother."

"Oh, that's not a good thing, Chiron. One Percy is too much for this world to handle."

He and Sam laughed hysterically while Percy was frowning.

"Oh I love her, Percy," Chiron said. "I just hope she doesn't get any influence from you."

"W-whatever; look, just know that Camp Half-Blood's activities are a lot different then regular camp activities. I'll explain it all in the meantime."

I rolled my eyes.

Clearly, Percy is just being an overprotective big brother. I mean, how bad can Camp Half-Blood be? It's not like kids die here? Right?

"Well, for now, Estelle will be staying with you at your Cabin, Percy; and Sam will be staying in the Unclaimed Cabin for now. Tomorrow, we will send Estelle back home and-"

"I'm staying," I interrupted. "Look, I may not be a demigod; have super powers or anything supernatural. But, I've been by Sam's side ever since we were kids. I have been her partner in crime and kept her safe until now. And I will continue doing so, with or without your permission.

Percy sighed in frustration. He tries to convince me that Sam is going to be okay here. But even so, I can't leave her on her own. She just lost her only family. I'm all she has left.

And we all know how gods are with their children; I read the mythologies. So whoever Sam's mother is, it won't be enough.

I'm all she got left.

Before Percy could convince me otherwise, Chiron spoke.

"We can continue this conversation for another time. For now, get some rest and eat at the Mess Hall. Tomorrow, I'll announce to the campers our newest member here and then the following day, We'll start the event for Capture the Flag."

Percy agreed and guided me and Sam to the cabins.

Before I could ask which cabin he and I were staying in, Percy already showed us his cabin. The cabin was blue and had several marine-like decorations with a sign in Greek terms. I couldn't tell what it says, but I can guess just from how the cabin looks.

"Percy… is your dad, Poseidon?"

He nodded, "Yeah, God of the Sea."

Honestly, that explains so much.

Sam gasped in excitement, "You're a son of Poseidon? Of the Big Three?"

"That does explain a lot of things about you, bro. For example, you never get wet during rainstorms, fishes seem to like you in aquariums and you ARE the best swimmer I know out there."

Percy opens his cabin door.

The entire room describes Percy. The messy bundle of clothes; the unmade sheets on the bed; some leftover snacks by the side and there was also some armor and weapons by the side. The interior was Ocean-based decoration and colored with a blue-green mix color. Sam and I were amazed by the size of the cabin.

"Each Cabin has a different look and tends to show each unique style similar to the Olympians and their children. You should see the others, theirs are much bigger than mine."

"Is it because the gods tend to be busy hooking up with humans?" I asked.

Percy chuckled, "Yeah, and as you can see, I'm an only child. Or rather, an only human-child."

I was confused for a second, then I recalled the myths.

"Wait.. are all horses-"

"Yep," Percy replied.

Well… at least we'll know what most of Percy's siblings like to eat.

"That explains why every horse reminds me of you, Percy. Your untamable hair, your sloppy eating habits, your-"

Percy ruffles my hair, "Okay, you little brat, just set your stuff on the bed next to mine. I'm gonna show Sam her cabin."

"Hold on," I said as I looked at the end table next to Percy's bed. I saw a picture and saw several familiar faces.

"Is that you and Annabeth around my age? And is that.. It is!" I yelled as I recognized the faces.

I knew most of the faces in this picture, Frank, Hazel, Leo and… I was shocked at the next person I saw.

"Is that Piper McLean?! The actress?!" I yelled.

Sam and Percy walked towards me and looked at the picture.

Sam squealed in excitement. Piper McLean is this really beautiful and amazing actress that me and Sam always love watching. She is confident; kind and funny, especially off-screen too. We always hope to meet her in person someday, but never did I think that my idiotic brother actually knew her in person.

"Yeah, that's Piper. We all had to travel to Italy and Greece with them to save the world. It was crazy, dangerous and we almost died. But… I knew we'd win when I had them by my side, especially Annabeth," He said with a nostalgic tone. I also recognize there was a seventh person in the picture. He was tall, handsome, a bit muscular, had blonde hair and was wearing glasses.

"Who's that?" I asked. Percy looked and replied.

"That's… Jason. Son of Jupiter, or Zeus in Greek terms."

"How come I never met him?" I asked. Besides Piper McClean, I met Frank, Hazel and Leo before and I considered them as family; so did mom and dad. But I never heard of Jason, nor met him.

"Let me guess, he's out there saving the world like some Superman, right?" I said with a teasing tone.

Percy didn't show any change of emotion in his face, but I can tell from his eyes. They were filled with loss and grief.

"Jason's… not around… anymore…"

"Oh…"

"We can talk about that later, at the Mess Hall. For now, I'm gonna show Sam where she is sleeping. In the meantime, call mom and Paul and let them know you're okay. I left some of your stuff by the bed. We'll be back."

I nodded as Sam and Percy left while I contacted my parents.

After I contacted my parents and told them I was okay, I also asked a lot of things about Annabeth. Turns out, she's a daughter of Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom. That also explains so much about her; she always seems to know anything, anywhere, anytime. So my next big question is what did Percy do to get a girl like Annabeth?

Well, I'm sure he'll tell me.

After my talk with Annabeth, I reassured my parents that I will be staying with Sam at Camp. I was half-expecting them to deny the idea; but instead agreed to it because it was much safer here than back home. Especially since the monsters now got my scent.

After we got settled in our cabins, we headed toward the mess hall and ate some food. Percy took me and Sam to the mess hall, or what it's usually called the Dining Pavilion, and food was already by the table. Percy told us how each table is arranged for a god and that it's forbidden for a demigod of another god to sit at another table. However, he said that Poseidon is a chill guy and wouldn't mind if Sam and I sit with him. I hope I get to meet Papa Neptune someday; he sounds like a fun guy, when he's not giving tsunamis. Plus, this would give Percy the chance to finally answer all my questions.

"So, Sam, what do you think of the camp?" Percy asked.

"Well, other than the fact that I'm basically a Mutant."

"Demigod," Percy corrected.

"Same thing; anyways, I think this place is amazing. I never went to summer camp before, but I can't wait to try out all the activities." Sam sighs, "I wonder if this is what my dad wanted to tell me about. How my mom is actually a goddess, how I'm different from normal people."

"I'm sorry, Sam." Percy apologized. "I should've been more careful. I didn't think Vulture would be this relentless. Lately, monster activities have been under the radar; I don't know why exactly she was there. But, don't worry, I'll deal with her and her partner when the time comes."

Sam nodded, "Thank you, Percy."

Sam is taking the whole "dead dad" thing pretty well. Makes sense, her dad's a cop and whenever he heads out on patrol or on a case, she'd fear it would be the last night she'd see her dad. She was mentally strong for it, but that doesn't mean she won't grieve for him. After all, he was the only family she had.

"Anyways, now that we got that out of the way, I think it's time you tell us how your Odyssey began." I chuckled at her joke and agreed with Sam; Percy finally told his tales.

How he was framed for stealing Zeus' Lightning Bolt and ending up fighting Ares, the God of War. (Not Kratos, the ORIGINAL god of war. Let's be real, if Percy fought Kratos, he wouldn't last a minute.)

How he traveled the Sea of Monsters, which is really just the Bermuda Triangle, and reclaimed the Golden Fleece to save the camp.

How he sneaked out of camp to save Annabeth from Atlas AND carry the sky for her.

How he arrived at his own funeral after being healed from a volcano eruption that he caused because he was fighting an immortal being. (Quite… bizarre…)

How he fought a war against an immortal being that can control time.

How he arrived in New Rome and saved death (Literally) and went on a quest to fight Mama Earth.

How he and Annabeth fell and survived Tartarus, a hell worse than hell. A Super Hell.

How he fought alongside Egyptian Sorcerers and Norse Demigods and saved the world countless times.

Percy has… been through a lot. A LOT. Like, I'm surprised that he's not in therapy nor gone criminally insane with immense PTSD. I mean, he literally went through SEVERAL kinds of hell, both metaphorically and literally. It really brought me a lot of respect and pity for him; and, it really explains why he's so overprotective and caring. He wants me to live the life he never got.

But, of all this, only one thing was certain about Percy.

"You're Joseph Joestar."

"What?" Percy asked.

"Oh my god! I was gonna say the same thing, Stella!" Sam replied. "Like, Percy, you've been through about 80% of the exact same thing as Joseph Joestar."

Percy groaned in annoyance. "Can we not talk about anime at the moment."

"Think about it!" Sam yelled as she listed down the comparison.

"Look, you're a New Yorker who obtained power at a very young age. You went on a journey to fight a guy who has issues with his dad and obtained powers involving time. You encounter an Italian and befriend them. Then, one of them gave up their lives for you to continue your quest. You fought an experienced warrior and won; not with skills and powers, but just out of sheer dumb luck and tricking them."

Percy shrugged, "Okay, but how does that relate to-"

"-AND!" Sam interrupted. "You literally arrived at your own funeral after being healed from a volcano eruption that YOU caused because you were fighting an immortal being."

Now, I know what you're thinking. Who's Joseph Joestar?

Well first: I can't believe you don't know Joseph Joestar! What, have you been living under a rock? Second: Joseph Joestar is one of the main characters of the animated hit series: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. He's basically like Percy but British, flamboyant and is just a bit smarter. Just a bit… well… it's debatable…

Don't believe me? Go Watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency and tell me, he doesn't remind you of him. And no part jumping; It's crucial you watch Part 1 before Part 2, no matter how boring it is. Although in my opinion, it is really good and- oh my god, I'm rambling. I'm sorry, I'm a huge Jojo Fan mostly because of the musical reference and it was one of the first anime I watched because of Sam. I'll tone it down, for now.

Though… if I had an editor who refused to watch it… This will be one of my methods to convince him.

"Percy," I spoke. "You gotta admit, what you do is… kinda bizarre."

Percy groaned in annoyance.

"Only three things remain, Percy," Sam started listing. "You need to either lose an arm; befriend a cybernetic german scientist or have an affair with a japanese woman."

"None of that is happening," Percy replied instantly. Sam and I laughed. If you have heard of any of Percy's tales AND watched Jojo, you'd see the resemblance. "Look, my point is, my life has been anything but normal. I'm telling you all this because I know you, Estelle. You think that this seems like fun and adventurous. But it's not…"

"Percy, I know it isn't. That's why I want to be a part of it. Saving people, hunting monsters."

"Estelle, it's not like Supernatural."

I rolled my eyes; of course he knows Supernatural, one of my favorite Tv Series. I mean, who doesn't wanna explore the country fighting monsters while listening to 80's rock music in your '69 Chevy Impala? Now that's a dream come true for me.

"I'm not changing my mind, Percy."

Percy sighs.

"Fine, we'll talk more about it later. Did you tell mom and Paul about it today?"

I nodded.

"What'd they say?"

I smirked, "Don't cause too much trouble in camp."

Percy is the only one in our family that seems to be VERY protective over me. Mom and dad trust me enough to make the right choice, but Percy is the only one who can't accept the fact that I'm growing up.

Siblings, am I right?

"How about you, Sam? You think camp is good for you?"

"Yeah," Sam replied. "I mean, it's not like I can go back home. Dad… gave his life for me to be here. Least I can do is give this place a shot."

"Well don't worry, Sam." I said. "You're not doing this alone. I'm with you, to the end."

After we finished eating, Percy took us to one of the campfire sites to just relax and take a minute to reel it all in.

I mean, last week, my only concern was how I'm gonna be prepared for my exams. Now, my best friend watched her dad get murdered by a harpy and my brother attacked by a hooded Minotaur. Just a couple of days ago, I didn't think supernatural creatures existed; now, it turns out my brother is the son of Poseidon and most of the horses in the world are his relatives.

My whole world was changed, forever.

"Hey, Percy?"

"Yeah?"

"How come Piper McLean never comes to visit us? Almost everyone in that picture does, other than her and Jason."

"...To be honest, I don't know. She… distanced herself from camp. From all of us, especially Leo."

"Leo?" I asked.

"Yeah, they're like siblings. Always had each other's back. But ever since Jason…"

There's that name again, Jason.

Who was he?

What happened to them in the past?

"I… don't really want to talk about it, Estelle." Percy replied. "It's… too painful to talk about."

"I understand," I said. "So, what are we going to be doing tomorrow?"

"Well," He answered. "First, Chiron is going to introduce Sam to the camp. Just pray they don't follow the tradition."

"And that is…?" Sam asked.

"They dump you in the camp bathroom toilet."

"Over my dead body they will!" I yelled. "They so much put Sam anywhere near a toilet, not even Zeus will protect them from me!"

"Relax, Estelle. I'll make sure they won't, I promise." Percy reassured me. "Anyways, afterwards, I'll be teaching you both how to fight. You got lucky with Vulture and the minotaur. Next time, you won't be so lucky."

I smirked, "Are you gonna show us the Jackson Family secret battle technique?"

Sam snickered because she understood the reference.

"Ha ha," Percy said sarcastically. "No, I'm gonna show you how to fight with a weapon. I was pretty experienced with a sword back in the days. So after the announcement, I'm taking you both to the barracks and helping you pick out your own weapons."

"Wait, weapons?" Sam said. "As in, actual sharpened and deadly weapons that could most likely kill a person?"

"No, they're enchanted weapons, they can only kill monsters. They have no effect on mortals, unless you're a demigod."

Isn't my brother just the poster boy of safety?

Percy continues telling us more tales of the past and tells me more about the others. How Frank is a son of Mars and can shapeshift into animals; how Hazel is a daughter of Pluto and can summon cursed jewel stones; and how Leo is a son of Hephaestus and has a giant mechanical dragon and can burst into flames.

Funny thing, it doesn't shock me about Leo. Frank's shapeshifting powers, maybe. Hazel's curse stones? Quite unusual.

But Leo? Everytime he comes over, mom has to have a fire extinguisher ready just in case. I wasn't sure if it's because every time he's around, something catches on fire or if he's just "too hot to handle" (his words, not mine).

Unfortunately, it was getting late so we all had to head to bed and get some rest.

"Hey Percy?"

"Yeah, Estelle?"

"I'm sorry you had to go through so much when you were at my age."

"It's fine… even though I've been through hell, I gained a family from it."

"You mean Annabeth?" I asked.

"No, not just her. My friends, my dad, this camp… even you," He said as he patted my head.

I always hated when he did that.

But just this once, I'll allow it. He's been through enough.

Maybe I will learn more about Percy's life here at camp. Sam and I might see more mythological creatures and maybe go on some epic adventures.

Who knows… This might be the best Summer we'll ever have.

Author's Note:

Hello there! I'm sorry for the delay post. December was a busy month, work-related and family-related. But, regardless, I will do my best to keep writing at least monthly for this story and I'm committed to it. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and to help you understand Estelle and Sam, here it is:

Estelle "Stella" Blofis:
She loves music and books and is a huge fan to the TV Series, Supernatural. It was one of her reasons why she got into the Myth's and Folklores. She's kind and loyal along with a humor similar to Percy. She got into anime because of Sam and is a huge fan to Jojo's Bizarre Adventures due to the musical references. She is just as stubborn as Percy and has a big heart just like her mother. Whenever she see's anyone in need of help, she'd always lend a hand. She would recommend books or songs for Sam to read/listen to.

Samantha "Sam" Stacy:
 She loves games and animes and has a huge love for history. She has a quirky personality but is hidden due to her shyness and social anxiety along with the caution her father gives her when talking to people (Mostly because she's a demigod and monsters can hide in the open). She tends to be herself when she's with the Jackson or her dad for they're the only ones who knew her best. She would also recommend animes and play videogames with Estelle every now and then for she likes having Estelle enjoy the same things she likes; as well as enjoying the things Estelle likes. In this series, she will gain confidence in herself and be more open to people.

Also, there will be Jojo references once a while but they're only minor and not really important to understand (Unless it's about Percy Jackson being an Alternate Universe Joseph Joestar). So if any Jojo fans understood the reference, awesome; if not, that's okay for I'm also giving musical references for you to try out too. My editor (Who I joked about in this chapter) has not seen the show but I tend to get him into it even though I know he never will for he keeps refusing to. We just like to have some fun here.

Finally, I still have not finish reading ToA for I'm still feeling the shock about Jason and how Jiper (#3 on my favorite ships in PJO-verse) relationship went along with Caleo (#1 ship tied with Percabeth). I will do my very best to finish the series before crucial scenes about any characters involved in ToA, Especially about Jason, Piper and Leo. These three are crucial for Estelle's development to become a hero herself. So for any fans (Or haters, I won't judge, everyone has their own opinion) of these three, please bear with me for now. Let's just say that one of them will suffer the LEAST. That is all.

I really appreciate all the comments I been getting; whether in FanFiction or AO3 or Wattpad. It gives me joy that I'm doing something right as a writer. I hope to see you all again next month when Chapter 7 is posted.

Until the next chapter.
