I would like to mention that IF YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT UP WITH THE FREEZING MANGA THIS STORY WILL HAVE SPOILERS.

So last bit of warning there will be swearing, explicit sex and violence, gore, gruesome deaths of monsters and characters, and that's about it (I think).

Anyway, on to the story!

June 9, 2012

Percy sat in a crowded van with all of the head councilors of each cabin, with more vans trailing behind them transporting the rest of the demi-gods of camp half-blood. The other campers conversed among themselves while Percy looked out the window in thought. Today is the day that the gods decided to allow a very rare camp-wide trip to Olympus. Percy wasn't really interested in this trip and personally preferred if he could stay as far away from Zeus as he possibly could after his frightening experience the last time he was on Olympus. However, Percy still had plenty of questions left unanswered from what his father said. For three years those questions bounced around in his mind refusing to leave. Percy even tried praying to his father quite a few times in hopes of receiving a response, only to get disappointed repeatedly. A bit of resentment grew in his heart for his father after all these years of neglect.

Apparently Percy's frustration at his failed attempts were obvious enough to be observed because one day Luke approached him. Percy looked at Luke as he was reminded of that day. 'It's a good thing he got over his anger for the gods' Percy thought. The almost tangible anger within Luke that he saw that day was now completely gone, instead replaced by tranquility. However, the shadow in his eyes had become a bottomless abyss.

Flashback

2010

Luke had always been seen as the cool older brother to the younger campers, Percy included. However, not long before, Luke had just returned from a quest issued to him by his father to retrieve a golden apple from the Garden of the Hesperides. Unfortunately, he had returned in failure and instead received a scar that nearly took his eye. Ever since, the campers would have pity in their eyes when they looked at him. Percy could only imagine the amount of humiliation he must feel, and that scar only emphasized it to everyone.

Percy was walking from the beach having just finished another failed attempt at communicating with his father and was seriously pissed off when he saw Luke approach him. The first thing his eyes went to was the scar and was reminded of Luke's humiliation. This was the first time Percy saw Luke since his return from the quest, and if Luke had caught him at any other time then Percy would have been like every other camper and pity would surface in his eyes. However, Percy was currently feeling extremely irritated and from the back of his mind a voice, his old self, was saying that he could care less about how Luke was feeling right now, and Percy couldn't help but agree.

Luke was heading to the beach to get away from all the judgmental eyes and to curse the gods out when he saw Percy. Percy noticed Luke at the same time and his eyes immediately flitted to the glaring scar on his face. Luke saw Percy's eyes retained their cool hardened look and couldn't help but feel relieved to finally have found someone who didn't judge him for his failure. Everywhere he went campers looked at him in pity and he couldn't stand it. What made it worse was his two closest friends, Annabeth and Grover, pitied him the most. It was to the point that Annabeth made it her personal duty to try and make him feel better by constantly bringing up the subject and giving him words of encouragement. Luke didn't blame her for trying to be a friend, but it still took everything he had to not blow up on her, she was only 10 after all.

Luke decided to have a chat with the young demigod, he had always been curious about Percy and always kept an eye on him. Luke soon came to the conclusion that Percy was an odd ball even compared to demigod standards. The boy's mother had died on her way transporting him and Andrew to Camp Half-Blood and he even carried his deceased mother's body up the hill. Yet that was the first and last time Luke ever spotted even the smallest bit of remorse in his eyes, unlike his brother who could be spotted often with red, swollen eyes for months after their arrival at camp. Furthermore, Luke had witnessed his battle on the hill and had sparred with the boy a few times. Percy was a complete natural when it came to combat and absorbed all his teaching easily Percy even more so than kids from the Athena and Ares cabin. Speaking of Ares, Clarisse, the camp bully infamous for dunking newbies' heads down the toilets had her and a few siblings asses handed to them by Percy single handedly. Some of the injuries were so bad that they needed to go to the infirmary to get healed up. However, despite the humiliation that was dealt to Clarisse and her cabin, her and Percy quickly became close friends that could always be seen together. And finally the last point on his list of things Luke found the weirdest about the young demigod was surprisingly his mannerisms. Luke noticed after some time of observing Percy, that the boys wasn't constantly fidgeting and actually enjoyed reading with no difficulty unlike a majority of the demigods. If Luke hadn't seen Percy's talent for combat, Luke would have thought he had no talent at all! Luke had seen the boy reading thick tomes the Annabeth had given him while sitting completely still for long periods of time. Another irregular mannerism Percy had was confidence and social appeal. It isn't a bad thing to have those two qualities, however, most demigods grow up in a bad household, constantly attracting monsters and causing trouble in their schools, which results in them never having many friends and always being despised, unless you were a child of Aphrodite. Again, his brother Andrew was normal in that sense, but Percy had a charisma that was very attractive to the people around him, especially the girls.

Luke snapped back into the present as he arrived in front of Percy.

"Hey Perce what's got you so down in the dumps? Are Annabeth and Clarisse giving you girlfriend problems?" Luke asked. The joke seemed effective in distracting Percy form what was upsetting him briefly as the boy started blushing madly.

The question caught Percy completely off guard and all his anger immediately dissipated into embarrassment. "W-what? No! I'm not even dating either of them!" Percy exclaimed. Percy's flustered appearance only lasted a few moments as he saw Luke doing a poor attempt at holding back his laughter. "Geez don't joke around like that." Percy complained.

"Ok if that isn't the problem then what is?" Luke asked. After he asked that question all playfulness left Percy's face as he frowned.

"Well i'm sure you know about the time Andrew and I were summoned to Olympus about a year ago. Well we finally meet our dad and he said some stuff that left me a lot of questions and I never got a chance to speak to him after the summoning. So ever since I've been trying to contact him any way I could, through prayers during the day, during our sacrifices at meal times, before going to bed, I even tried it underwater, only to come up empty handed time and time again. I'm just sick of it at this point, why be a deadbeat after years only to claim us when you were forced to, then disappear again." Percy ranted.

"Well Percy perhaps you could find some closure in the fact that you're not alone. Pretty much everyone here has gone or is going through what you are. some even have it worse with them already being in camp for years without knowing who their godly parent is." Luke reminded Percy. "To the gods we are nothing but inconsequential results of their fun. In turn, we provide them with amusement as we struggle to survive. I am a perfect example of how the gods see us as nothing more than toys." Luke finished as his chest moved more than usual. Percy stared at him wide eyed, slightly creeped out by the amount of anger Luke was expressing.

Luke noticed Percy's expression and sighed to calm himself down. "Sorry, basically what im trying to say is that you've gotten as lucky as you could get with being claimed, you shouldn't expect anything more than that." Luke warned.

"Oh… I see, it's not like I never considered it, but I still refused to accept the possibility that my father wouldn't want to speak with me. In that case it wouldn't be wrong for me to say that gods don't spend time with their children, even when we were infants?" Percy asked.

"Ha, that's a good joke." Luke said. That responds answered the question on its own. When Percy heard that he reached up and grasped the bedazzled locket that hung from his neck in silence as he thought. 'If what Luke said was really true then why did you leave me with this? Why are you in this picture holding me and mother to begin with? Why do you look so content doing it?' he wondered. This wasn't the first time Percy pondered these thoughts, however the hard truth that Luke spoke of was like a bucket of cold water over his head.

"Where did you get a necklace like that from? Since you arrived at camp I've never seen you without it. It's pretty damn nice though, that isn't any regular necklace is it? Those metals are all imbued with divine energy making it nearly indestructible. You better make sure some child of Hermes with sticky fingers doesn't take it off you. Luke said with a playful wink.

"Haha I've had it for as long as I could remember. One time when I was five, I lost it only to find it in my pocket moments later. Though in the end it's just a regular necklace" Percy said reminiscently. He also lied about the function of the necklace as Percy didn't want Luke to know the truth. Unobserved by Percy, a weird light briefly passed through Luke's eyes as he stared at Percy.

"Well, Make sure you keep it and it's contents safe. It was good talking to ya Perce if you ever need anything, just stop by the Hermes cabin. Luke said as he turned away and walked off, his original destination forgotten.

End of Flashback

June 9, 2012

Of course after that day Percy never really gave up on trying to contact his father, but there would always be a certain amount of disgust for the gods after his eyes were opened. Percy came to the conclusion after learning of the trip, that going to Olympus and confronting his father was the only way he could get the answers he wanted.

Percy glanced out the window to observe the glowing mountain that loomed above the tallest buildings in Manhattan, just a few blocks away.

Percy's thoughts then strayed to his life in Camp Half-Blood for the past three years. Things had fallen into a routine that he would stick to everyday. Everyday he would wake up at five in the morning and would go for a 10K run, after he finished he would practice his calisthenics, gymnastics, and martial arts. By the time he finished all of that it was time for breakfast. After the meal, Percy would have sword and spear practice, which he had quickly gotten better at. Then there were the Capture the Flag games every Friday that gave him an abundance of targets to practice on.

Speaking of capture the flag, Percy had managed to create a miracle by bringing a truce between the two war cabins of Ares and Athena. If someone were to ask a camper from the Ares cabin how he did it they would say he beat them in a two vs. one match while only using one hand and no weapon. While if you asked the Athena cabin they would say beat Annabeth in a game of chess while blindfolded and Clarisse in an arm wrestling match with his pinky. Meanwhile, they Aphrodite cabin insisted that he thoroughly dominated them into submission in a wrestling match of the bedroom. The duo never clarified why they put their differences aside when Percy appeared in the middle, but they did make sure to completely reject the outrageous suggestion made by the Aphrodite cabin. However, if someone simply asked Percy, who's opinion didn't seem to matter in this scenario, what he thought he would have told them one word, friendship. Percy looked to his side to see the girls in question talking to one another in hushed voices. As if they could sense Percy's gaze on them, they simultaneously looked back at him. They sent beaming smiles at him, which he gently returned.

Clarisse had become his closest friend, emotionally and physically. For some reason that girl refused to leave his side whenever possible. Percy glanced over to the girl once again and smiled in fondness. He had no idea what made her think it was necessary, but he was okay with her clinginess. Afterall, he enjoyed the company of the kind and sweet girl that was behind her mean scowl and battle hungry persona. On the plus side she actually had a ugly duckling scenario going on with her as she was quickly growing into a beauty.

Then there was Annabeth, another dear friend of his. It took Percy a while to get through to those cold calculating storm grey eyes that seemed to dissect him piece by piece and put him back together to figure out the best way for him to be of some use to her. It took everything in Percy's arsenal to break the wall of 'our parents don't get along' excuse Annabeth kept putting between them. That included teasing and annoying her until she finally had enough. After she exploded and chased Percy around trying to cut him into ribbons with that dagger of hers, she finally gave in to Percy's mosquito like persistence and tolerated his existence near her, which eventually became acceptance.

Then came his weird relationship with the Aphrodite girls. Percy frequently visited their cabin, and weird habits developed over time. The girls would often tease him and tell him things like secrets and gossip. They would also tease him using multiple methods, like telling him fantasies they've had about him and their experiences, they even go as far as deliberately showing themselves to him in multiple stages of undress while getting in provocative poses and sometimes forcing his own clothes off to grope his nude body. Every time Percy walked into the Aphrodite cabin it was like playing a game of roulette, and his pubescent body was reaching its limits. Thankfully the only ones that treated him normally were Selina Beauregard and Drew Tanaka. Even though Drew was a stuttering and clumsy mess whenever Percy was around, Silena had once told him that she could turn incredibly nasty when he wasn't around and told him some of the things she did under Silena's radar. In any case, Percy was thankful the girl was so nice to him, and made sure to be friendly with her in order to stay on her good side. In Silena's case she had become an older sister to him. She would groom his hair while telling him stories and would often cuddle with him. Percy blushed at the countless night he spent as her body pillow.

Though Percy's relationship with his brother is what truly grounded him. After they had been claimed their relationship had definitely been mended, at least that's what Percy Believed. While it was true that they had gotten closer after their fight, for some reason Andrew slowly returned to his previous state. Percy predicted that Andrew felt he was being swallowed by Percy's shadow again, and even asked him if he was ok. Every time Andrew would respond with a smile and say "don't worry about it im trying my best". And Percy believed him after all he had seen his brother truly working his hardest to better himself. Percy had to admit that Andrew wasn't a slouch at all, especially when it came to swordplay. Andrew could be said to up their with Percy and Luke, but those too had an advantage in physical capabilities and experience respectively. After awhile Percy let his brother be and stopped asking questions, Unknown to Percy, Andrew had been having very peculiar dreams.

Percy was shaken out of his thoughts as the van came to a halt in front of The Empire State Building. The large group of campers were all excitedly shaking in their boots as they walked through the lobby and into the magically expanding elevator. Many people were smiling in anticipation at getting to see Olympus and the gods. Meanwhile, two there were two campers among them that were smirking for an entirely different reason.

So, what did you guys think, please leave a comment.

Phew, that was quite the chapter. Now i know i said that this would be a time skip, and it is, but that still doesn't excuse the fact that a majority of the chapter is a flashback, or recounting memories of the time between Percy's first week and now. I was going to continue the the chapter but I felt like this was as good of a place as any to stop. Anyway tell me what you guys think in the comments, and until next time take care.

Also please favorite, follow, and spread the word, if i'm correct this is the only PJOxFreezing crossover out there.
