"Are you kidding me!?" Percy stared in horror, dagger in hand and golden blood flowing from a small cut.

The mischievous grins from Hermes and Apollo started to shrink slowly the more Percy paced between the thrones, looking crazed which garnered the amused reaction of Dionysus.

"Percy—"

"This is so bad!" He cuts his father off, hands in his hair, wide eyed, frantic.

"Percy— surely it won't be...?"

Finally, Percy whirls around to face his father, dread and agony on his face.

"You're telling mom."

Poseidon, King and God of the Sea, Earthshaker and Horse creator, froze. Terrified.

"No." He denies immediately.

"You have to. She's going to murder me. I can't die before my baby sister learned to walk! You're like, millions of years old! It would be harder to kill you!"

"Perseus—"

"I can't hide either—! She's going to send every demi God she knows after me, I will be on the run for- forever!"

"Perse—"

"I'm so doomed!"

"Pe—"

"Oh, and Estelle! She's my mother's daughter... stubborn as we come... she will probably join the hunters of artemis! I can't have mom's wrath on me on that too! What if Estelle becomes a huntress without any education!? Mom will hate me!"

[feralpercy]

"Where is your father?"

Percy gave a tired glare, huffing childishly in return. Calling him to olympus because his father left Zeus on read? Really? Talk about youngest child behavior.

Rolling his eyes, he strolls to his father's throne, ignoring the calls of his godly family and sits down.

The familiar feeling of nearly getting incinerated appears and Percy grins.

"Hey dad, zeusy is asking, where ya at?"

Humming in return to whatever his father says, he drops down, and gestures.

"Give it 5—"

Poseidon appears.

"Or not."

Poseidon hands him 100 dollar and percy is off.

[feralpercy]

The plan was a guaranteed victory.

Percy looks at Annabeth, despite everyone looking at him.

"Wise girl," he calls, his eyes burning. "How much power?"

Annabeth stares back just as defiantly, her eyes shining with certainly.

"Seaweed brain," she answers. "I want you to obliviate them, to the ashes."

The group collectively shivered as the two shared a smile.

[feralpercy]

Hermes was visiting his kids when Percy stormed towards him, paper in hand.

"You know you're my favourite cousin and all? God of language? Read this."

Paper in hand, finger pointing at a word, Hermes squints. "It's saying Acquiesce?"

Now Annabeth takes the paper from his hands, Hermes is mildly annoyed and just confused.

"What. What? There is noway this word is Acquiesce."

She looks at percy with eyes, mind whirling. "Perce, Percy. Does this mean I've been writing Acquiesce wrong this whole time?"

Percy laughs nervously and Hermes is just letting his kids tug him away from the coming chaos.

[feralpercy]

"What are you two doing?"

Percy looks up from his bubble bath, Dionysus, who's sitting next to the bath on the ground with grapes, raises a brow and both stare at the flabbergasted Hermes.

"Hanging out?" Both say, Percy's more of a question while Dio's is more of a deadpan.

Shrugging, Hermes joins in, floating above Percy to see the comic he's reading, having stolen some grapes from Dionysus.

That's how Apollo finds them.

[feralpercy]

Hermes flashes down to the shore, feeling annoyance flare up.

He'd felt a disturbance in the force, followed the trail and ended up here. Right next to Percy Jackson.

Of course.

He watches as the boy throws another glass bottle, message inside, into the sea.

His eye twitches.

"Perce, what are you doing?"

The demigod in question looks up, suprise evident before smiling. "Sending my dad complains."

Okay.

"Why not, I don't know, ask me to deliver them?"

Percy shrugs with a grin, chucking another glass.

"If not me, then triton! Is he not your father messenger??"

[feralpercy]

Sipping on his blue coke, he gives a side eye to Mr. D.

The god had simply plopped down next to him, no prior warning and told him to, quote to quote "enjoy the show".

Whatever that meant.

And then Apollo falls into the picture, racing after a cackling Hermes, chasing while simultaneously running from Artemis, who in return is followed by an annoyed Athena, who also gets followed by Ares who's ready with a spear in hand.

On his other side, Aphrodite emerges, wine in hand and getting comfortable.

Enjoy the show indeed.

[feralpercy]

The enemy's enemy is your best friend. Wasn't that how the saying goes?

He's smiling very smugly, staring at Ares melting eyes full of promised violence as he hangs in a golden net.

Lady Aphrodite and Hephaestus by his sides, one chuckling while trying to appease her lover and the other proud of his work.

Man, using himself as bait was a genius idea.

[feralpercy]

Percy may not know his uncle (the Underworld one) much, but he for sure knows letting your son eat alone at a mcdonalds is NOT parenting.

So he made a routine of breaking into said uncles domain, kidnap his son and give tips with only a slight BIT of bite.

If he and Demeter became allies along the way to chew up Hades, that's for them to know and discuss during tea time.

[feralpercy]

"Annabeth!!!"

Blond hair swept in a breeze, she grins cheekily and throws her head back with a loud laugh.

Percy swoops in, arms stretched out, and just in the moment— Blackjack flips over, and their hands connect.

In a blink, Annabeth is taken along the ride, swiftly landing behind percy on the pegasi.

She laughs and laughs. It's loud, filled with joy and excitement.

Percy had come.

[feralpercy]

"Uh— congrats? She's pregnant." Magnus explains quickly at the stare.

Percy looks from his cousin-in-law to his only daughter, the one he personally (with annabeth) picked.

"Beth— WISE GIRL!" He shouts. "OUR GIRL IS PREGNANT"

There are crashes before Annabeth appears, hair in disarray and winded. "She is what now?"

She looks at Magnus and he only nods, bewildered.

"Who was it? If it was the neighbours tuxedo I will go and get that child support."

Percy and Magnus both had to stop Annabeth, yet their Cat only meows, purring on the carpet.

[feralpercy]

"Pff." Mr. D scowls, having his hand flippantly.

Percy scowls harder in retaliation. "You're grumpy, like I didn't have to.deal with your sorry ass at 3.am in my kitchen, sobbing, drunk and halfway eating my food."

Dionysus is giving him the stink eye, he doesn't meet it knowing what he will see, and continued.

"Literally had to pray to your wife to come and get you."

Ariadne laughs at that.

[feralpercy]

"How are my prettiest girls in all of camp?" Aphrodite asks, her voice light as she twirls a curl from one of her youngest children.

Piper grins, sharing a few looks with her siblings and turns around.

"Hey percy!" Said boy turns to the group with a raised eyebrow. He says something to his father before coming over.

"Mum just asked how the prettiest girl in camp is doing." She tells him, grinning.

Percy grins back. "I'm good, thank you lady aphrodite."

Aphrodite's eyebrows furrow in confusion as her children chatter around her.

[feralpercy]

"I know ur building us phones safe to use," percy starts, leaning on the workshop table as Leo and his siblings tinker.

"But consider this," Leo looks up, curious while other shoot him a few looks.

"Minecraft mob farm irl, take a demi god and a phone, and we got ourselves an infinite amount of monster loot."

Leo has this look where he is seriously considering it, which fits perfectly.

His siblings, on the other hand, have the looks of doubt and intrigue.

[feralpercy]

Clack. Clack. Clack.

Everything was going smoothly.

Clack. Clack. Clack.

This was a simple mission. In and out, rescue.

Deep breath.

The gala, a giant ballroom, busy with the rich and famous all around. Eyes roam each person, trying to find the demi god of interest.

A daughter of aphrodite, grounded by her father and stepmother, as Chiron said. The father told her about her mother, sent her to camp once, but clearly didn't like it. Deciding to take the protection of his daughter in his own hand.

Admirable, Percy admits. But stupid too.

He can see the many many monsters hiding, the hell hounds in the darkest corners.

Where was the daughter of aphrodite?

Clack. Clack. Clack.

Each step echoed through the hall he took to escape. It irritated him to end. It was necessary, however, that it didn't escape his attention that most guests were younger women and girls, the only men being far older instead.

They had to get creative for this mission.

Clack. Clack. Clack.

And Percy? He knows he looks good in that dress Rachel and Annabeth choose.

Voices of workers have him ducking outside, into the garden. The men leave, but the lit room not far away takes his attention.

There she is, Cheryl, 12 year old camper who had called per Iris msgs to Chiron, crying about not being able to come home.

Percy showed her how to swing the sword. Her siblings taught her how to wepaonise her looks, use daggers and charmspeak, poison and firearm.

Un-ladylike, Cheryl had sobbed that day, her father angry and disapproving.

His hand shot up the moment Chiron even asked who'd get her. The Aphrodite cabin had packed everything, told him the important bits of Cheryl's life and made him promise to bring her home safe.

He would.

That's where he is right now. Climbing the vines by the side of her bedroom in a way too fancy dress, heels digging into the building as he hauls himself up her window.

"Hi Cheryl."

"Percy?"

"I heard you needed some help."

[feralpercy]

"Chiron actively banned us from ever teaming up again." Percy waves them off, gesturing to Thalia.

"However—" He walks backwards, right towards the army clothed in blood red.

"He never specifically said I couldn't team up with Ares cabin either." Just as his words came out, the Hermes cabin booed playfully, some Aphrodite kids even pretending to faint.

Thalia grins, its toothy, feral and absolutely ready.

"Watch out, Kelp Head, ur head is mine."

He laughs and Chiron declares the begin of the game.

Let the better team win.
