"Thoughts"
"Speaking"
A shout out to Hitsuzen278 for letting me use some of his fanfics
Everyone was waiting for the projection to continue, only for after it got dark, the device turned off
"What happened?"
"And now that?"
"Why did it go out?"
And other questions arose from the spectators, who stopped when they saw that a record came out of the machine, realizing why the record was finished, it was Hermes who approached, since he was the one who had the boxes with the other DVDs, so he kept the one that was expelled and put the next one
They waited a few seconds for it to start again and saw "Second World again"
"Wait a minute... Could we always extort you with chocolate?" The green-haired spearman questioned in surprise, getting a slap on the back of the head from the woman with cat's ears and tail.
"Stop crying, you're not a child," she admonished to the amusement of a certain duo of men who were less than six feet away.
"But, sister..." sobbed the adult in the orange scarf.
The gods, huntresses along with those who had interacted with the archer gods thought that these were the counterparts of these two, only for most to dismiss it, that there could be no gods invoked, they obviously forgot what little Medusa said
"Achilles/ Atalanta " both Chiron and a woman, with long white hair and silver eyes, spoke at the same time, stopping those named.
Now they knew who the members of the duo were, but they were all really... impressed by the appearance of the white-haired female, so that several of the males did not even blink, among them Zeus, Apollo, Ares, Hermes, causing several of the women to start getting angry at the brazen attention of the males in the audience, there were also cases of jealousy over the white-haired girl's beauty with Aphrodite being one of the cases, who was trying to change her appearance only it didn't happen, leaving her confused.
"Wow..." Unable to contain himself, Percy muttered as he saw the Greek mythological heroes in front of him.
That reaction caused the hero trainer to let out a faint chuckle of amusement at the way Poseidon's son looked, reminding him so much of all those he trained when they were just kids. Seeing that quite a bit of time had already passed since their arrival, as well as the lack of vital information with which they could understand what was going on, the centaur chose to speak again.
"Why don't we introduce ourselves? That way we will get to know each other well and you will also be able to explain to us what happened to you" going to one of the chairs that surrounded the table where the bag that Sally Jackson's son brought with him was still located, Chiron proposed at the same time that everyone nodded and imitated his act.
"It's about time," murmured Athena, who craved answers, hoping that with that Chiron leading the conversation, answers could be obtained
"It's about time," Athena murmured, longing for answers. She hoped that with Chiron directing the conversation, these answers could be obtained.
At the man's actions, some began to suspect who he was, but curious about his appearance
"I don't care..." Stheno said, seeing how his sister seemed to take her place next to a giant with long white hair and a pair of red horns, who exchanged fixed gazes with Poseidon's son before they both decided to look away respectively.
Ignoring the fact that the rest of the Servants in the great room were also there to hear the talk, Percy resumed his place in the middle of Ana and Medea Lily, removing the bag from the table as what looked like a teddy bear approached it with the intention of opening it.
"That doll/stuffed animal moved," several viewers thought
"Let's see, what can I tell you?" – Putting his right hand to his chin to adopt a thinking posture that drew amused grimaces in some of those present, the blue-eyed black-haired man asked himself aloud.
However, this action on the part of the demigod revealed something that the sleeve of his jacket hid, quickly attracting the attention of seven people, three of them being the same person, but with different costumes and hairstyles, thus claiming that they were alliterations of the same being.
Once again they wondered how many versions of a person there could be, especially because some were sure that they saw other versions of different women that were the same, although several did not deny the attractiveness that the women had, getting arrows for certain comments, the Atlanteans began to get upset by both actions
"You are Roman! " One of the three blonde women, the one who seemed to be wearing a red dress, exclaimed as she quickly approached the group and took the right limb of the savior of Olympus, revealing the tattoo with the acronym SPQR.
Confusion arose in everyone because they did not remember a famous Roman woman with such an appearance
"A son of Neptune..." With slight resentment and fear, a man in golden armor and peculiarly black eyes with red pupils, spoke.
However, the Romans were the most interested in which members of Rome were with that Perseus Jackson
Again the feeling of being judged in silence by several glances, as the first time his father recognized him, weighed on his back. But even so, Percy did not allow himself to be intimidated, retrieving his arm and offering them cookies out of mere politeness, thinking that if his mother saw him she would be completely proud of him.
"OK! I'll start at the beginning. My name is Perseus Jackson, but everyone calls me Percy. I am a demigod, son of Poseidon to the Greeks or Neptune to the Romans" reaching the limit of his own patience to restrain himself from giving and receiving information, he formally introduced himself to all.
Stopping, the black-haired man realized that his way of speaking reminded him of an intervention, making him smile on the side since, surely Apollo, Hermes, and their respective sons, as well as Leo, would have had a great day joking about it.
That gave them ideas to annoy the son of the sea of his day to those who came from the future, once said individual appeared or they returned to his time
"Why did they name you after that idiot?" – pointing contemptuously at the yellow-eyed man, the Medusa Avenger questioned with venom.
"Because compared to the rest, he was the only one who didn't die like an idiot," said the son of Poseidon.
"HEY! " complained several of those present.
"... And he managed to have a 'happy ending' " the young adult could finish speaking, sending them a reckless look that was only immediately recognized by a Roman Servant.
The Greeks were the ones who thought the same thing, the main ones being those of the future and the ones who were going to join the Titans
"... Admittedly, he's right." Analyzing the explanation given, the dark haired lancer man said, looking at the man who was recognized as Achilles while the latter looked at the hidden blond boy.
Obviously, the silent action of the trio was quickly emulated by several others, giving each other looks full of hatred and contempt despite the fact that they live in the same place.
"Oh, oh" the spectators thought about the possibility of a battle breaking out in the place with the exception of Ares and his Greek sons
"Ehm... Chiron?" Noticing the resounding change in the environment, Percy called out to the alternate version of his mentor.
"Is something wrong, Percy?" As if he were the same in every way as the Chiron that Perseus Jackson knew, he asked.
"Could you at least tell me their names? It's a bit weird to talk without knowing who they are, although I have the feeling that I know them in person or have heard about them taking up the advice of Annabeth and Sally, the son of Poseidon decided to take the more polite route to engage in dialogue.
"I suppose you're right, and I'd usually start by introducing myself, but apparently you know who I am and who they are, too. Not to mention that Lady Artemis caught Atalanta's attention while I did the same with Achilles" reasoning the plausibility of Percy's statement, the centaur retorted, pointing to the Gorgons and Medea Lily first, and then pointing to the white-long-haired woman holding a teddy bear..

Silence was what was in the room, although Triton managed to pause while he saw the rest of the audience, the shock was what could be seen on everyone's faces that then to horror and pallor for the men who before spoke loudly or stared shamelessly at the white-haired female, Apollo turning green and sick before fainting
Aphrodite began to laugh at the expense of the goddess of the moon, although part of her was jealous of the appearance of the counterpart, because according to her no one could be more beautiful than the goddess of "love"
The few female hunters who had come out of their shock began to be filled with rage towards the aforementioned men, and then threw themselves at them and with every hunter who could react she joined them. Although, of course, the rest of the men were not spared by much. Meanwhile, the same lady with the huntresses was still unable to react

The Atlanteans had to take matters into their own hands to calm the chaos that ensued, with Triton and Rhodes imprisoning the huntresses with Water whips, while Kymopoleia gave them electric shocks that left them unconscious; the latter was seen by Zeus who began to rant about how she dares to use his dominion, Zeus was silenced and immobilized by Poseidon again when he was about to attack his daughter, and then knocked out Ares when he tried to attack him, when he fired a bolt of lightning from his trident that he threw across the room where the god of war was left on the floor.
Hera and Athena would have helped, but the former was still angry with her husband for the looks he continued to give to the women in the projection, while the second goddess realized that she was surpassed by the Atlanteans.
The men who were grateful, especially those who were nearly stabbed in the crotch by arrows or knives
Meanwhile, Artemis still didn't react, which was beginning to worry several
—...—

With things calmer, after waking up Apollo, whom they tried to move (Hermes), slap (kymopoleia), they threw water at him (Hermes), but the trick was to electrocute him at the end (Kymopoleia), now he was wounded, as soon as the Atlanteans thought of having a talk with the goddess of Violent Tempests; and make Artemis react, who was now in denial.
"Lady Artemis...?" Not knowing a better way to react, the young adult looked at the woman namedbefore standing up and paying his respects as he did with the deity he knew.
"Please stop doing that! And sadly I can't be with my girls as long as I'm a Heroic Spirit. Although I find it curious that you know them, do you have any relationship with one of them?" with an attitude completely opposite to the red-haired Artemis that the demigod knew, the Servant spoke peacefully, at least until she asked her question as she began to twist the living plush doll's legs.
No one said anything due to the state of the moon goddess, but that did not take away their surprise at the difference in attitudes.
"Artemis... ple... ase... You hurt me," complained the bear, who was wearing a little yellow robe.
"I have no relation to them other than the fact that their lieutenant is my cousin, or that even the older ones don't try to kill me every time I greet them... did that teddy bear just talk?" hastening to make clear his relationship with man-hating maidens, Percy had the inevitable urge to know what was going on with the little animal.
"Oh! Are you talking about Orion? Of course he can speak, can't he, dear?" now showing a strange loving smile, the deity invoked as Spirit responded, bringing the doll to his face.
Artemis kept denying what she witnessed even more forcefully and muttering that this was a nightmare, something her hunters began to do.
"Hmm...said Orion? Like Orion, son of Poseidon? My brother?" wanting to be sure that he didn't hear or imagine things, Jackson asked.
Only a happy nod on the part of the moon goddess was the answer given under the watchful eyes of the others.
The denial of Artemis and her huntresses increased, while Aphrodite laughing at her, and the Atlanteans were curious and surprised by this Orion
Percy blinked once.
Twice.
Thrice.
Once he came out of his reverie, he stood up, but not before making a gesture for the others to wait while they saw him approach another table and borrow a glass of water, returning seconds later to his position without taking a seat yet.
"May I, Lady Artemis? I would like to greet him properly," with a gentle grin on his face, the two-time savior of Olympus asked the aforementioned for the bear.
For some reason several had a chill
Without hesitation, she complied with the request, handing it to him with complete confidence. A confidence that quickly mutated into horror when Percy dipped the head of a happy Orion in the glass of water, ignoring the latter's banal attempts to escape by frantically moving his tiny limbs.
Seeing the horror of her counterpart by Orion was somehow the straw that broke the camel's back, Artemis fainted
"Die, you damned rapist! It's your fault that Lady Artemis hates men! And also that Apollo has put a curse on us! Allowing him brief moments of relief to catch his breath, Percy continued to punish his brother.
The screen went dark with that image
