Chapter 88

Tis But a Scratch

(Percy)

'You don't need to come with me.' Reyna said quietly from under her hood as we turned the last street corner between our current residence and the Senate house.

'And you don't need to go at all, but you are nevertheless, so humour us.' Diana commented looking around the small throngs of people that had seen the goddess and were bowing respectfully in her direction. One of the advantages of being one of the most easily recognisable Olympians, what with her practically unique traits that even a moron could identify.

As for me well I was not hiding my face like the 'other hunter' in our trio but that was more because my body and face were not my own for anyone to recognise other than as I appeared a late teenage daughter of Poseidon. The thing was I doubted that even after the real truth about me got out, I doubted I would ever get the reverential treatment Diana was getting, well at least not around here anyway.

'You're being quiet for once, both of you.' Diana added looking at me raising an eyebrow.

'Just thinking about everything and if there is any way to fix it.' I replied simply before waiting a second to see if Perseus was gonna make comment only for him to remain silent still. Clearly admitting what was wrong with him and shaken his normally impregnable snarky defences. All morning and I had hardly a dozen words out of him total.

'He will be fine in the end; at least he finally opened up a little which is a small wonder. Besides I cannot exactly hate him knowing that I am in some ways responsible for the way he turned out. Even if completely unintentionally and by something which occurred over two and half Millennia ago.'

'Will she stop blaming herself and you stop thinking you can fix me. I know I am screwed up and there is no changing that.'

'We just want to help you, so we can help all of us.'

'Whatever, wake me up when something important happens and you need someone killing. I have had enough of this Psychiatrist crap for one day already.'

'Heads up trouble ahead.' Reyna muttered distracting me from my internal conversation as I sported the source of the problem.

'What is the point of Terminus disarming everyone before entering if they are openly allowed to bear arms inside the city?' Diana said in annoyance at the sight of the four armed legionnaires who were flanking my least favourite Praetor who was acting as if he was the best thing since sliced bread.

'The system has always been open for abuse if you know how to. If a weapon is disassembled Terminus may not notice it and you can rebuild it inside the city or believe it or not Mercury's mail service parcels get through unchecked because technically a Olympian is bringing them in. If you don't declare what is in it you can con the god into smuggling for you.' Reyna explained pausing to watch the fool ascend the steps into the Senate house and leaving his flunkies outside.

'Well he is not completely stupid if he knows that bringing armed soldiers inside would cause a riot.' Diana commented in amusement at the four wannabe Praetorians failed attempt at looking intimidating. The old Imperial Praetorians were the best of the best in the military and operated as secret police where necessary. These lame excuses while dressed for the part looked more like the rejects that even most desperate military commander would turn away.

One looked ready to drown in his armor that was about twelve sizes to large while the one to his left had the opposite problem where his Lorica Segmenta looked ready to burst at the seams due to the contained mass it was struggling to contain. The remaining two looked slightly better with armor that actually fitted but one was about thirteen and the other had a serious acne problem over ninety percent of his face. Overall the sorry state of the small troop was strangely fitting for a third rate dictator wannabe.

'Come on then girls let's get this show on the road before people think we got intimidated by this show of military power.' I said trying not to laugh as I began to walk towards them only for the goddess to overtake me a few steps before the guards who were either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. I know which I thought it was when the clowns crossed their spears in front of the silver clad goddess who looked outright murderous.

'Halt by order of Praetor Sssh-teven. Only Sss-enators allowed.' Oh dear god this was priceless the kid had a lisp to go with his bad acne. Better make that a fourth rate dictatorship I corrected resisting the urge to face palm.

'Adorable, Now I am going to count to three and when I am done those spears will be nowhere near me. Or I will stick them up where my brother does not shine.' Diana threatened still smiling as the guards wavered at the implication.

'Three...Two...One.' She proceeded to count down before they realised just in time that maybe it was not a good idea to get in the way of an Olympian goddess and her destination.

'Good now I suggest you put those down before someone gets hurt, I am sure Terminus would love to find out that someone broke the cities rules after all, now beat it.' She explained all without dropping the smile on her face that was both beautiful for me and oh so terrifying for everyone she was threatening. In fairness the kids were lucky her counterpart would have likely shot them all and stepped over the bodies, due to some underlining stress issues in her life. Which I may or not have been the cause of most of them.

'Errr. Yeessssh Milady.' The lisp kid answered before giving a quick command to his compatriots and running like hell putting an end to the pathetic display. Well almost the fat kid's armor finally had enough due to the sudden movement and began to shed pieces all along the street much to the crowd's amusement.

'Forgive me if I am wrong but isn't Steven a son of Mars and that is the best guards he can come up with?' I asked Reyna incredulously.

'I guess the rest of his minions are out of town for the holidays and that was the best he could come up with, besides compared to them rejects he looks amazing.'

'Nothing will ever be able to make him look amazing, then again there is no man alive that meets my tastes.' Diana commented looking at me in amusement as I slowly got the implications of what she meant. After all I was currently a girl meaning the point still stood.

'Of course Milady, you keep telling yourself that.' I teased playfully before walking inside the Senate house with the other two following close behind.

Well the good news was they had fixed the gaping great hole in the ceiling after Leo's airstrike on the place. Another reminder of what Eidolons were capable of even on a smaller scale. The bad news was I now knew where Aurum and Argentum were. Shackled to the floor behind the Praetors chairs where they were seemingly constantly growling at one of the chair's occupant. I guess the poor automaton hounds were able to smell bullshit just as well as they could tell a lie from the truth

Of course it did not take my companion long to notice their mistreatment either as was evidenced by her hand disappearing inside her cloak where I expected she had her sword hidden, along with the plethora of other arms both Roman and Hunter she kept on her at most times. Her ability to be a walking armory was beaten only by my own.

'Now is not the time for you to act hastily, all that rashness will accomplish is getting you discovered in a situation you will not be able to deal with. Clearly he thinks he has dealt with them for the time being, which is our advantage.' Diana explained calmly putting a hand on the girls shoulder and I could practically here the demigod's teeth grinding in frustration.

'Besides I can just break-in later and get them back anyway.' I reassured compared to Camp David this normally empty building should be a walk in the park.

'I swear by the gods I will kill that bastard if he has done anything else to them.' Reyna growled before looking away from the metal dogs and towards the source of the issue who was reclining in the only occupied Praetor seat as if he owned the place. I couldn't help but notice the other vacant one had been pushed back a few feet as if to signify that he was more important than his absent counterpart.

Considering from what I knew the majority of Camp Half-Blood had relocated to here for the while at least. There were astoundingly few Greeks amongst the group that I recognised at least. Will Solace, Clarisse and Jake Mason primarily along with a few other senior campers but even so there was only half a dozen at max, out of a group of around fourty Senators.

The only other thing of notice in the slowly filling room was the presence of five out of the six gods of heroes of which the Greek side, Nico and Leo looked like they wanted to be anywhere but here with Leo seemingly asleep with his head on the table in front of him and Piper who was completely absent for who knows what reason. The Roman side looked to be paying a bit more attention but that was not exactly going a long way. Overall they reminded me of myself in one of the meetings back at Orthrys. The thing was as hypocritical as it was I could afford to doss off whenever I wanted. The Titans were not in charge of anyone but themselves and there was only one Demi-Titan to worry about in total. These guys were supposed to be helping to run these camps and act as an example for those under their charge. Not letting a pretentious little shit act like he was their equal or greater with impunity.

Of course the arrival of three silver clad figures did not go unnoticed especially when the senators realised who one of them clearly was. Which resulted in expressions ranging from curiosity through to awe and in some cases looks of out right terror. Of course there was one olive skinned little idiot who decided to focus on me and grin like a Cheshire cat. Something told me my cousin was never gonna let me live these sex change incidents down, I thought with a groan.

As for the Praetor himself he had to double take at the sight of the three of us and paled slightly causing Diana to smile cruelly in his direction making the situation clear. She wanted to throw him off balance where he would mess up, I had no doubt she meant what she said about his last warning. The only people who could get away with annoying her was me and arguably Apollo and neither of us were likely to escape unharmed if we were stupid enough to provoke her. No matter our status as her twin or her Fiancé in my case. This kid had no such connection to make her think twice about doing anything to him.

Eventually though it seemed that everyone who was coming was here and the pompous idiot rose to his feet. The three of us having chosen to sit on the bench in the furthest ring closest to the door with Reyna closest to it, after all if shit did hit the fan she could either get out of there quickly or she was in a position to slap that smug bastard straight in his fat face in as quick as fashion as she felt like.

'Under the guidance of Mars Ultors and Jupiter Optimus Maximus I declare this senate meeting as beginning.' He declared to the sound of thunder outside only for the door to suddenly open as Piper stood in it drawing everyone's attention. Though to my amusement I noticed Jason face palming out the corner of my eye at her awful timing.

'Oh good, great start she has already disturbed an active senate meeting, talk about bad luck.' Diana commented as the minor goddess looked around the shocked faces of the assembled council and giving a smile causing some of them to relax as she influenced their emotions.

However Diana's comment about bad luck seemed to strike almost instantly as the goddess began to walk down the steps beside us she tripped over a carelessly placed leg and fell face down each step in kind with a heavy thump...thump... in what could have been a hilarious moment in any other situation. Except for one minor detail as she began to fall she reached out and grabbed the closest thing to hand in a desperate attempt to stop her face planting, which just happened to be the cloak of the person whose leg it was, tearing the garment off and leaving my disguised companion in full view leaving the struggling goddess forgotten about as recognition hit the majority of those close to us and whispers began to pass to those further away.

'Oh now this certainly is interesting, I was expecting this to be a boring meeting about next years taxes but this is a pleasant and hilarious shock. So this is where you ran off and hid my little traitor, I thought you had more class. I expected you to be hiding amongst those savage Amazons but instead here you are hiding behind an Olympians skirt the whole time as a wannabe girl scout.' Steven said mocking laughing at his own statement and the goddess who was slowly disentangling herself from the floor and the cape she had enshrouded herself in. The whole beauty bit was ruined by the trail of ichor running down her face and sticking in her hair.

'Though in fairness I should have guessed the Greeks would take in a traitor, would not be the first time after all.'

'I am no more a traitor than you bear a resemblance to Adonis. Last I checked there is no official rule stating that I am not free to leave whenever I wish just the same as any other member of the Legion. And as for me being a Huntress now that is completely irrelevant so get to your point.' Reyna said proudly standing up and letting the light reflect off her breastplate.

'True but do you really think we can allow someone with the Legion's secret defect to a possible enemy force. No I think you will find it well within my power to have you arrested and kept where we can keep an eye on you my little traitor.'

'You so much as try boy!' Diana declared rising to her feet before I calmly rose up next to her and put an arm on her shoulder. This was not going according to plan and what was the point of vilifying either of the two girls when there was a much more easy target to put blame on.

Myself.

'You keep going on about traitors, but what do you even know about it? Personally I think you are all bark and no bite especially without your little friends outside. So tell me what would you do if you came across a real 'traitor'.' I asked in amusement using air quotes to highlight the final word as I calmly walked towards him, directly through the rows of seats in front of me causing people to move aside out of my way. The goddess who had caused the initial problem looking at me in surprise before understanding hit her and she hurriedly joined the others.

'Oh if it is not the little sea scum girl herself, still crying over your brother are you?' He mocked as I closed in on him through the final rows and coming face to face with him. Well face to chin technically as he was considerably shorter than myself.

'Oh I am sorry didn't you get the memo. I am Percy Jackson.' I said with a smile as I let my appearance change back to normal causing him to change colour as his jaw promptly hit the floor and a lot of deep breaths from those around us. I guess it was not every day you saw a girl turn into a enemy of the state. However much that was a false allegation.

'Now if you don't mind I am going to borrow this for a few seconds while you take your head out of your ass.' I told him with a smug look as I yanked the purple cape of his shoulders and draped it over my own sarcastically and turned back towards the senators ready to explain what really happened back on Half-Blood Hill in the Legion Camp.

However in doing so I made a foolish mistake, I turned my back on a potential enemy not realising the creditable threat he actually presented when pressed against a wall. After all I was about to destroy everything he had worked towards by simply calling him out on his shit.

The first I knew about it was the loud bang followed instantly by the pain in my back which was swiftly repeated three more times causing me to fall to my knees only to be kicked from behind so I fell on my back and looked up at my attacker who was shakingly holding a small revolver at me.

'Die Traitor!' He declared as he pulled the trigger and everything went dark.

'Well... that just happened.'

'Gods I never thought I would be killed by a fat kid with a hand gun, and worse I still have to put up with you.' I groaned at the indignity of the act. Seriously after all the shit I had been through in my life and this was how I was going out. Yes I was technically immortal so it wasn't fatal, fatal but it was still a major inconvenience by all accounts. though in all fairness I was more worried about what Artemis would do to me.

'You wound me, though seriously do you feel dead? Because I sure as hell don't. If anything you are just knocked out, idiot used mortal ammunition I think. Just like when Artemis got hit, hurts like hell but not fatal fortunately.'

'Perseus was I doing the right thing in trying to take the blame for Reyna?'

'A little stupid but it had good intentions, even if you did drop the ball for a second.'

'Good because I want you to finish what I started, do what you want.' I said in resignation if they wanted a villain they could have one.

'Really?' He asked giddily.

'If you don't Artemis and Diana will, he has already signed his death sentence. No one else gets hurt though.' I instructed only for deep throated laughter to ring around my skull. Maybe I should not have said he could have carte blanche to do as he pleased, oh well to late now.

'I Percy Jackson give Perseus permission to use my weapons of power.'

(Diana)

The moment Percy had fallen I was already on my way towards his attacker yet I was to late to stop what came next as the last gunshot rang out echoing throughout the structure along with its wielders declaration.

I had already drawn a knife and was ready to slice that little pigs head clean off when everything went even further to hell as I found myself blown back by a wall of force causing me to stagger back to one knee as the dust cleared in front of me. But even through the hidden veil it was still obvious the cause due to the semi insane laughter that was originating within. Something told me I needn't worry too much about my boyfriends safety any more. Everyone else's though was another matter entirely.

'I think now would be the time to take a few steps back just to be cautious.' Artemis said hesitantly from inside my mind and I could not help but agree not wanting to get closer to what I suspected was a completely unrestrained Perseus, no matter how much we had discussed his issues last night. I had not been present for his rampage through the Olympian Throne room but something told me this was not going to end as well for the person he was pissed at.

'Great and I was beginning to like the purple.' Perseus voice finally came through as the dust cleared revealing him looking at the cloak with disdain and the four small holes in it. I half wanted to remind him that he could fix that in seconds if he wanted to but he noticed me first with glowing golden eyes and a cruel smile that managed yet to still be reminiscent of those goofy grins he was famous for.

'Hey babe I would like my stuff back.' He explained and I suddenly felt the loss of weight on my wrists as the items reappeared on his own. Which meant one of two things either he had circumvented the lockdown Percy had placed on them or Percy had actually given him permission to use them. Either option was not good for his target who was slowly rising to his feet on the other side of him from me after having been blown into his own seat rather forcibly judging by the dislocated arm he appeared to be suffering which was still futilely holding the cowards weapon. Normally I would have been annoyed at the aspect addressing me as such but the truth was I felt like that was the least of my issues at this point in time.

'You...You're a god?'

'Uh Oh wrong answer.' Perseus commented sarcastically.

'I don't care what you are die!' CLICK...CLICK...The Praetor shouted only for the statement to fall flat as he passed the weapon to his good hand, only to find it had ran out of ammunition, causing Perseus to smile viciously as he slowly stalked towards the fool.

'Oh dear looks like someone can't count how many his peashooter holds, Yoink.' Perseus mocked sarcastically before grabbing the weapon by the barrel and swinging the Praetor to the floor where he hastily rose to his feet in a attempt to back away, from the clearly unfazed Titan.

However he did not make it far as another gunshot rang out and his left knee shattered dropping him to the floor as he cradled the wounded limp to his chest.

'Funny that, I seem to have unlocked the infinity ammo cheat, good to know. I want something with a bit more oomph though, this is a cowards piece of crap. Fitting I suppose now stand your sorry fat ass up.' Perseus said changing from amusement at his discovery to disdain as he regarded the fallen Praetor and slowly walked towards him carelessly tossing the firearm away as he did so.

'You...You Monster!' The praetor declared in a futile effort to crawl away from the approaching threat only to leave a streak of blood on the white marble floor. However he made it no more than a few feet before Perseus caught up to him and grabbed him by the hair. Slowly lifting the struggling screaming figure until he was face to face. His feet several inches off the floor in the under taking.

'I am merely being what you wanted me to be. You made me out to be a monster because it suited you, so for you I will be. Now stand up and face me coward!' Perseus added repeating the command louder as he dropped the figure who somehow managed to keep his balance. Something I was pretty sure should be impossible considering the destruction the bullet must have caused. However I was also pretty sure it was in no part thanks to the Praetors 'incredible' vitality and more something Perseus had done to prolong his fun. I also noticed his arm had seemingly straightened out which told me Perseus was definitely responsible.

'Percy Sto-Arrrgh.' A girls voice began before ending in a scream as Perseus turned on the spot and threw a knife across the room where it embedded mere inches away from the goddess's head.

'If you would like to join your whore mother on my shit list, I dare you to open your mouth again.' Perseus threatened causing the goddess of Love and Compassion to pale.

'Lord Mars help me defeat my enemy.' A voice called out weakly causing everyone to turn back towards the Praetor.

'Dream on ki—I will be damned, this should be fun.' Perseus said with amusement as the War god appeared in the room in full Battle gear.

'Who would summon me to fight Rome's enemies in the Senate?' The god boomed out in a pretty bad impersonation of our father.

'I did father kill these traitors.' The Praetor said pointing at Reyna and Perseus who was smiling ear to ear.

'Am I missing something here?' Mars asked dropping the act in confusion before noticing me and looking at me as if I should explain.

'Idiot over there tried to kill Percy.' I said simply as the war god briefly glanced at Perseus who was still sporting that bat shit insane grin of his.

'But isn't that... You know what kid but you are on your own for that one. I am a firm believer in letting my kids fight their own battles.' Mars said nervously as I nodded my head to answer his suspicions. Well he was smarter than his counterpart at least.

'But... Father.' The boy said practically babbling the words causing the god to turn his nose up as if he had detected a bad smell.

'Listen runt. You got yourself into this mess you get yourself out of it, the simple fact is he cannot attack you first therefore you started this. And of the... three kids of mine in this room you are easily the one I just don't care about. So have fun and try not to die. Simo-, Ste-fan.' Mars said struggling to even recall the kids name just to add insult to injury.

'Hahahaha told you so you little punk.' Clarisse shouted from her seat like this was the funniest thing she had seen in years.

'Decanus Clarisse? Make that Centurion at least. I think there maybe a new opening for a Praetor shortly.' Mars said looking at his daughter and identifying her rank with surprise.

'Thanks Dad! Fingers crossed.' Clarisse answered happily, despite the fact she was clearly talking about her own sibling dying.

'Zhang.' Mars said turning towards the minor god with a slight nod.

'Father.' Frank answered quietly and respectfully.

'Kid at least die like a Roman.' Mars said simply turning his back on the betrayed looking Praetor and walking towards me, not before clicking his fingers and depositing a simple Imperial Gold Gladius and Roman shield at the kid's feet.

'10 Drachma on Perseus.' He whispered as he got beside me.

'Your betting against your own child, what sort of parent are you?' I asked in annoyance at his indifference.

'A realist, Perseus no matter what he wants to think cannot attack mortals unprovoked anymore than either of us. Even I have no idea what your boyfriend is fully capable of and from what I do know I estimate my chance of success in beating him as being only ten percent... If he is unarmed.' Mars explained before adding on hesitantly.

I was about to reply when Perseus began to move towards the Praetor who hurriedly scooped up the weapons before trying to back away limping seemingly unable to bend his wounded leg.

'Anyone else you wanna call to see you fail at life?' Perseus asked quizzically digging a hand into a pocket and pulling out a drachma and chucking it at him in mockery.

'You dare mock me?' Steven said angrily finally stopping retreating.

'No, no, no. Nah who am I kidding I totally am, bring it fat boy.' Perseus said sarcastically waving his hand forward as the Praetor actually went onto the offensive swinging his sword with reckless abandon while Perseus simply evaded every blow with ease.

'Come on kid, how am I supposed to get information if he can beat you without lifting a finger.' Mars muttered in annoyance causing me to notice the pen and notepad he had in his hand.

'Seriously?' I asked shaking my head in bewilderment.

'Unlike my counterpart I don't run into battles I cannot hope to win, I prefer to research my targets.'

'Stop running and fight me coward!' The Praetor shouted in tired annoyance causing Perseus to pause and grin.

'I don't think your blood pressure can take much more of this exercise but if you insist.' Perseus said laughing before straightening up and sidestepping the next thrust at the last moment, as he did so a sheet of black metal formed around lower arm as he span his body around colliding the Adamantium shield with the thin wood and leather counterpart on his opponents respective arm. The sound of shattering bones hidden by the crack of the shield falling to pieces.

'Arrrrrgh.'

'Stop being a bitch, let me help.' Perseus commented evilly as a silver blade appeared in his hand and swept up swiftly followed by a wet splat as something else hit the ground. This seemed to be the last straw as the vast majority of the Senate suddenly seemed eager to leave only to all freeze mid movement.

'You all leave when I say you can... Understand.' Perseus said coldly looking around the room. Even several of the gods looked queasy at what was happening with the exception of Nico and Hazel but then again they saw the Fields of Punishment on a semi regular basis.

'Stop being a baby, you are not going to die besides you have still got one arm.' Perseus said to his opponent and sure enough the wound was not bleeding as could be expected from the sudden loss of a limb. A bit of blood sure but not the high pressure spray you could expect normally.

'YOU SON OF A BITCH!' The Praetor shouted charging forward blade held high, causing Perseus to flinch a second and visibly frown as he let the Orthrytic Silver Blade drop to the marble floor with a quiet clang. Only for him to drop to one knee at the last moment and another longer blade replaced it in his grip. He didn't even need to swing as the blades own vicious edge and its victim's momentum did the work for him.

What momentum remained resulted in a sickening blood trail along the marble floor as the now heavily dismembered Praetor finally ground to a halt.

'Never insult my mother, you worthless piece of shit.' Perseus growled before viciously punting the Praetor onto his back where he could look up at him.

'Fuck you.' He said weakly spitting out a small amount of blood. Perseus simply narrowed his eyes and thrust Maelstrom into the floor before walking off and grabbing two objects. One his opponents fallen sword and the second and significantly more macabre a severed leg. Which he held by a limb foot with a wrinkled nose.

'Hey shit for brains you dropped this, do you want it back...Oops never mind I lost it too. How careless of me.' He explained as the limb suddenly went through every stage of decomposition in a matter of seconds swiftly leaving bone which crumpled into dust leaving nothing but a shoe which he casually tossed over his shoulder.

'Three down one to go.' He added coldly walking back towards his prey stolen sword held point down before thrusting it through the entire length of his forearm from palm to elbow as he futilely tried to protect himself the point imbedding in the floor holding the limb at a right angle to floor.

'Anyone know what happens when you snap Imperial Gold inside someone? Oh well if no one knows I suppose I can find out... For science.' He said growing a grin again as he grabbed Maelstrom and swung the blade two handed at the suspended limb. The sword slicing flesh, bone, metal before passing through the other side severing the wrist just in time for the cut metal to break down into a blast of energy and a cloud of dust. He at least had the sense to protect himself with his wings which appeared around him as a protective barrier.

'Oh come on seriously... Are you seriously so fat that it managed to protect you or what?' Perseus cried out in annoyance before flapping his wings clearing the smoke revealing the ruined body of the amazingly still alive Praetor. Despite his lack of limbs and most of his body being burned and his armour rent from the blast, he was still very much alive. Most of the crowd was trying to get over the sudden appearance of his wings by the look of things.

'Well this is unexpected I seem to have run out of things to cut off... Any suggestions?' Perseus asked his victim cruelly who was only capable of ejecting more blood from his mouth.

'Never mind thought of something, Not like you were ever going to need it, probably been years since you last saw it anyway.' Perseus said laughing before implanting the blade right between his leg stumps and causing Mars to shift his legs nervously almost making me want to laugh as the majority of the male percent of the room did something similar.

'There you go, you now weigh about as much as a normal person your age. Who needs fat camp when you have the Perseus diet. Instant results, no cost.' He explained happily before suddenly frowning and dropping to one knee as he held a hand against his head as if in pain. That was the last I saw before the room was enveloped in blinding silver light.

AN. Well that has got to hurt, as for the diet I just don't think it will catch on.

Don't worry though I am not finished with him just yet. I just don't think he has suffered enough.

If anyone does not like the fact no one wanted to help him, remember they will all be suffering a mixture of shock at his sudden reveal, fear at what he is doing and relieved he is only doing it to one person and not them all. well that and some people hate the kids guts.

One very important thing to note though.

NEVER INSULT SALLY JACKSON NEAR PERSEUS or he will wreck your shit.

Hope you enjoyed this Looooong delayed reckoning and I can only apologise for the delay, this chapter was just a lot easier to write than the preceding one. that I ended up writing this before finishing the chapter 87.

I would like to apologise to anyone who read the initial draft off Chapter 87 and found a few bits seemingly out of place putting it lightly. They were the result of some of my colleagues at work going on my computer while I was on lunch and deciding that it needed sex scenes.

Additionally I love the prospect of infinity ammo Perseus. Titan form GAU-8 Avenger come get some.

Also special credit to those who can work out where the chapter title came from.

Hope to see your comments and views in the little box below. Until next time.

Oh and Just in case Merry Christmas to all of you.
