Bea: *sigh* ah well then let me die i guess

Percy POV:

I didn't really know what to feel or how to feel. I mean, look at them, they grew up so fine, so beautiful, so strong.

And ... They were happy. Even when I left they weren't happy. They were lost in the horrors of the wars. But now, they seemed so happy before they saw me... What if it's my fault they didn't get better until I left...

Rachel poked me in the ribs and pointed to Bianca and Nico.

He had his hands on her face, like he couldn't believe she was there, with him, alive....

"Hey, fratellino, how have you been?" She put her hands over his. Tears were rolling down their cheeks.

"Horrible, we've all been miserable, but then, we realised" he looked right at Percy. "that Percy wouldn't have wanted us to cry over him, he would've wanted us to be happy and to live our lives, but damn me If it wasn't hard..." He turned back to Bia. "But... How are you alive?"

Bianca smirked and distanced herself from Nico. She came right up to me and hugged me close to her, while looking at her brother. "Uhhh... Bia?"

"That, well you have to thank our father, Lady Chaos and my favourite baby seal, Percy."

"Guys! Guys! Wait!" shouted Leo. Everyone went silent. Wow, I didn't realise that the others were talking at the same time and asking Leo and Rachel, and probably me too, questions. " I know you want to know what happened, but we can't talk here. The gods could hear us. And I'd rather not see any of them."

"But not all of them are bad, Lord Hades helped us!" I protested.

"And I'd rather not see some of them." Leo corrected himself. "Percy, the honor is all yours." I looked at him confused. "The portal, Percy, the portal."

"Oh!" I lifted Bianca's arm off me and walked a bit away from the group. I took a small cube from one of my pockets and pleced it down in front of me. I muttered an incantation and tapped it. A bright light erupted from it and slowly formed a round mirror-like portal.

"What is that for?" Asked Thalia as she came up to me. She gently touched my hand with hers, her eyes looking hopeful. I turned to her and spread my arms. She beamed and threw herself at me, embracing me tight. I put my my hands in her back and squeezed.

"It's a portal, like Leo said." I said after we parted. "It will take us to my home."

Bianca punched me in the shoulder. "Our home." I smiled. Let Bianca be the one to remind me that I'm not alone.

Leo screeched and jumped into it. "Faster you, lazy asses! The Magic levels are increasing and soon we'll be found out!" Yelled Rachel before she jumped in.

"Fuck! How does this work?" Said Piper.

"Like a slide! Imagine is a slide and have fun!" Replied Bianca and grabbed Nico's arm throwing him and herself in the portal.

After that, the others didn't hesitate anymore. Two minutes later, it was just me and Thalia. She kissed my forehead and said "I'm glad you're well."

"Me too." I hugged her and we jumped into the portal together.

/break/

What we saw when we exited the portal was... Not something i was expecting to see.

Everyone in my family was there. Will was screaming in my Mom's face, while Jake held him back and everyone was silently laughing.

"- LAST TIME, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SENT HIM! I TOLD IT WAS A BAD IDEA! BUT NOOO!" he flailed his arms around. "I KNOW BETTER THAN WILL! IT'S NOT LIKE WILL HAS KNOWN HIM FOR LITERAL YEARS BEFORE HE EVEN MET YOU! Why am i even bothering? Do whatever You please but don't come whining to me that Percy is mad at You!"

Thalia, Nico and the others,the demigods we just brought here, were gaping at the scene. I understood them, I mean, no one sees mad Will very often. Esspecially if it was believed he was dead.

I decided that it would a good time to make our presence known.

"Well, thank you for caring, Will, but I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself."

"You started crying." I glared at Bianca, she just grinned.

"PERCY!" Silena screamed and ran to meet us.

"Ohhh! Nice, he brought in strays!" Said Luke and zoomed right in front of me, his superspeed creating small winds in the room. Suddenly everyone stopped and paled. "Oh shit..." Luke was staring straight at Thalia. The latter, well, She was about to cry again.

"HAH! I was right!" Shouted Will.

"Luke? Luke!" Percy waved his hand in front of Luke. He didn't even blink. "Aw, man. Look at you did! You broke him, Thalia!" She glared at him.

Charlie sighted and walked to us. He hit Luke on the back of his head. My friends flinched. Luke stumbled and fell on me.

"Agh! Get off me, you idiot! And stop being so dumb! She ain't gonna hurt you!" Luke rolled off of me.

"Son, how did you came across... them?" Luke asked, saying them like they were something to be treated with delicacy.

"Don't call me son." I said. "It's a long story" we got up together.

"Is that so. Well, even like that, i am sure we have all the time in the world to listen to it." A weird cold feeling washed over us. Luke stopped the time. I glared at him.

"Don't do that so randomly!"

"You can't tell me what to do, son." He continued.

"I am not your son."

"You're back from a mission. On Earth, I'm sure you're tired. These kids must have been exhausted too. We want you to be happy, I want you to be happy, son!" Luke continued.

"CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME!" I screamed. The room was silent. The demigods seemed like they were expecting us to fight.

"Go home, Perseus." I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and spotted Hazel, She was smiling shyly. "That's an Order from your commander."

"Miss?" My voice sounded weak even to me.

"Go home!" She said firmly. The tense atmosphere was broken by Silena's squeal.

"Oh my Love! I love this one!" I nodded and opened my arma for the black girl. She jumped into my arms.

Hazel said "Daddy said to be home by sundown."

"Daddy doesn't need to know." I replied. She broke away from me.

"Daddy said not to go downtown."

Silena cupped her face: "Like I said you're free to go."

"But- " i took their hands in mine. "Look around, look around, The Revolution's happening in New York."

"New York"

Will and Jake sighted. "Angelica" and then together with us "Work!"

Hazel looked to the side " It's bad enough daddy wants to go to war."

Silena twirled around. "People shouting in the streets."

Hazel pouted "It's bad enough there'll ne violence in our shore."

I patted her head. "New ideas in the air." I looked at Will and Jake "Look around, look around."

"Angelica, remind me what we're looking for." They boys appeared on each side of Silena. "She's looking for me!"

I grabbed her and and brought her to my chest. "Eliza, i'm looking for a mind at work!" I winked. "I'm looking for a mind at work! I'm looking for a mind at work!"

Luke intrerrupted "Wooh! There's nothing like summer in the city, Someone in a rush next to someone looking pretty." He walked in front of me and adopted a charming grin. "Excuse me, Miss, I know it's not funny, but your perfume smells like your daddy's got money. Why You slummin' in the city in your fancy heels, Searchin for an urchin that can give you ideals." I showed him my palm and turned my face away.

"Burr, you disgust me."

"Ah, so you discussed me. I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me."

"I've been reading Common sense by Thomas Paine, So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane." I pushed him in the chest with my finger. "You want a revolution, I want a revelation, so listen to my declaration." I backed away and Hazel and Silena joined me. "We hold these truths to be self-evident That all men are created equal."

I winked again and took the girls nu the waists. "And when I meet Thomas Jefferson, I'm 'a compel 'im to include women in the sequel!"

Everyone shouted "Work!" We burst all laughing.

"Why did they burst so suddenly into singing and dancing? What's up with them?" Asked a very frustrated Reyna.

"Don't mind them, it's the fifth time this week that when this happens." Replied a bored Charlie.

Lady Chaos then spoke "Children,I understand You like to have fun, but i think everyone wants to know what happened. Let the stories be told!"

"But... Who are you Ma'am?" Asked Piper.

I smirked and walked to take a hold of thr Lady's hand. " She's my adoptive mother. Lady Chaos!" Everyone bowed to her immediately.

"But ... what about Sally?" Frowned Nico. I giggled and Mum snapped her fingers. An opaque mirror materialized out of thin air. It gradually cleared and Mami appeared in it. She beamed when she realised I was calling her. She waved her hand.

"Dear! How are you?"

"I'm fine Mami."

"And Chaos, how are you beautiful? I hope my child is behaving."

"He's perfect, Sally, You needn't worry about him. Are you still coming to dinner on Sunday?

"Of course, wouldn't miss it! Also i will bring-" She stopped herself and stared straight at the man behind her son. "Percy, is that...?" I nodded. "Uh... Ah! I think..." She leaned forward and Chaos opened her arms. My mom went through the portal halfway, then Chaos helped her the rest of the way. "That this is going very interesting discussion."

"Missus Blofis?" Thalia chocked.

"Thalia, dear! I haven't seen you in years..." Mom held her arms open.

" Of course you didn't! You dropped of the face of Earth! I couldn't find you anywhere."

Sally sighted. " I think you should all sit down." Chaos clapped and the floor was covered in pillows and beanbags. The kids () sat down and made themselves comfortable.

Mami smiled at me and I took a deep breath. "When Zeus blasted us, my Mom, Lady Chaos saved us, She offered the choice of working for her as her personal assassins, or simply live with her. And I thought that it would be really nice if we could do some good to the universe and... Well, fighting is what I do best so why not..." Bianca walked to me and took my hand in hers.

"But, how comes these guys are alive, Jackson?" Asked Clarisse. Silena silently made her to her and sat down half in her lap. Clarisse put an arm around Silly.

" Well, the conversation about being assassins was only between me and Chaos. After that we appeared in Hades' palace. Jake, Rachel and Leo were there. And Lord Hades took us to Elysium and allowed me to enter and take anyone I want to with me. And that's how I got hold of these four, Bia, Silena, Charles and Luke. "

" He scared me to death!" Said Silena, we chuckled.

"We were dead Silly." Commented Charlie.

Everyone looked them shocked. Yes they knew my family died. But they talking so casually about it... Seems a bit weird.

"It was funny," said Will. " They exited Elysium exactly when I was about to enter. So they didn't really have to wait for me or anything."

I heard a few giggles and I smiled. I liked to see my friends happy.

"What about you, Miss Blofis?"

"Oh, my story is less exciting." She said and took my hand. " After Percy dissapeared we were destroyed. Paul and I... We, just like you, realised that Percy wanted us to be happy and Andy to grow up happy and healthy. " She gestured around aimlessly, tears shining in her eyes." I thought I lost him again, for good this time. So imagine my relief when I see him, battered and bruised, leaning against the door frame and asking for blue cake, a few weeks later in his birthday."

Bianca giggled. "If I remember right, his exact words were 'Hey, mami, hope you've got some spare blue cake, kinda gathered an impromtu party.' and pointed at us."

Mami smiled. "Yes. That's what he said." She squeezed my hand. I squeezed right back. "That day, we had a throughout discussion and we moved to Washington. Far away from the Gods and their stupidity."

I hugged her and we stayed like that. Mom put her arms around us, Thalia got a hold of both me and Mami. Slowly everyone else joined too.

It felt like home.
