Story: Champion of Olympus

AN: I received some comments that the gods were OOC, but remember this is an alternate universe. Percy was raised by a large group of the gods on Olympus, and raising Percy would certainly change someone. Also, Poseidon as you will find out blames Percy for Sally's death, although there may be more going on.

Chapter 24: Consequences

Mount Olympus

Third Person's POV

"Excuse my interruption, but can I talk to my son?" Poseidon asked as he looked at Athena and Annabeth. Percy's back was turned to his father, but when he turned around you could see the anger in his glare. Poseidon for his part tried to ignore the glare that his son was giving him.

"What do you want?" Percy said coldly. Athena and Annabeth looked on worriedly.

"Can we talk in private son?" Poseidon asked. Percy continued to glare at his father.

"Whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of them." Percy said as he pointed toward Athena and Annabeth. Poseidon sighed loudly, and then looked at his son hopefully.

"I just wanted to thank you for returning the trident, and to congratulate you on a successful quest." Poseidon said sincerely. Percy just stared at his father in disbelief, any hope of a heartfelt father to son talk evaporated. Percy didn't say anything he just shook his head, and began to walk away.

"Aren't you going to say something?" Poseidon asked incredulously. Athena and Annabeth both shook their heads trying to get Poseidon's attention.

"You want me to say something, how about this. Go to Tartarus!" Percy yelled. Poseidon just stared at his son in shock and anger.

"How dare you talk to me that way?" Poseidon yelled causing a small earthquake. Percy walked back towards his father; I could see his face turning red with anger. Percy's eyes began to change violently, like they did during his fight with Ares.

"You know what, I'm so tired of this, and I'm tired of you. I thought you might actually apologize for never being there for me. I thought you might tell me how proud you are, but no, you thank me for returning your weapon, and then say congratulations on your quest. That's bullshit, you're not my father, Zeus and Hades have been there for me when I needed them. I've only seen you five times in my entire life, six counting today." Percy yelled, his voice rising over the other conversations in the throne room. The other gods began to stare at the two. Hera walked closer, but Zeus put a hand on her should, and then shook his head.

"I've been busy, plus Amphitrite would never let me bring you to Atlantis." Poseidon said, but even his excuses seemed pathetic.

"That's crap; you're the god of the sea, and king of Atlantis. You could have welcomed me, if you wanted. Why do you hate me so much?" Percy yelled. Poseidon looked at his son, you could see the guilt on his face, but then his face turned red as he watched the other gods look at him scornfully.

"I'm still a god, you cannot talk to me this way, you may not want me as your father, but you will respect me boy." Poseidon yelled. Percy began to glow, his body started to heat up, and you could see his eyes actually explode into flames. Poseidon stepped back in surprise; he held his trident tightly in his hand in case Percy attacked him. Percy reached for his ring on his right hand, but Athena put her hand on his shoulder.

"Perseus, please calm down, he may be a rotten father, but he is a god, and one of the big three." Athena said. Percy visibly sighed as his shoulders lowered in defeat; he knew that Athena was right.

"I'm sorry, Lord Poseidon, I was out of line." Percy said through gritted teeth. Poseidon looked at his son, but he was still visibly angry.

"No son of mine will talk to me that way." Poseidon stated. Percy glared at him again.

"You hate me because of mom." Percy said. Poseidon narrowed his glare, he looked at Percy with a face full of pain, anger, guilt and anguish.

"Is that what you want me to tell you? Well then, yes, I blame you, I wish you were never born." Poseidon yelled. Athena looked at Poseidon in disgust. Poseidon ignored her glare.

"Then don't worry, I'm not your son, just leave me alone." Percy said angrily.

"Then get out of my cabin, boy." Poseidon stated coldly. The other gods gasped at this, but Percy never flinched. He stared into his father's gaze until Poseidon looked away.

"Happily" Percy said.

Poseidon turned, and began to walk away. Hera ran up to Poseidon, and grabbed his shoulder. "Poseidon, please don't do this, he's just mad at your absence in his life. Perseus is a loving and caring boy, he's a lot like his mother.

"That's the problem" Poseidon whispered as he broke away from Hera's grasp, and disappeared into a sea green mist.

Percy walked over to Athena and Annabeth. They both hugged him tightly as tears flowed down his cheeks. Hera walked over to the young demigod, and placed her hand on his shoulder. Percy pulled away from Athena and Annabeth, when he saw Hera he immediately hugged her tightly. Athena and Annabeth both looked on in surprise. The other younger gods stared at the scene before them, Hera wasn't a hugger, but here she was hugging a demigod son of Poseidon. "Where do I go now?" Percy asked. Hera rubbed circles on his back soothingly; she pulled out of the hug as she held onto the boy's shoulders.

"You can stay in my cabin." Hera said. All the gods looked at her in disbelief. Percy gave her a hopeful smile.

"Thank you, aunt …" Percy said then stopped, he looked at Hera thoughtfully. "Can I call you mom?" Everyone looked at the two of them, completely in shock. Hera for her part gave the boy a wide grin.

"I would love that my boy." Hera said.

"How about we make it official?" Zeus asked. Everyone turned toward the king of the gods.

"What?" Percy asked.

"If Poseidon had the audacity to disown the Champion of Olympus, then I think it only fitting that my wife and I adopt him." Zeus said. All of Zeus's children in the room looked on completely bewildered. Zeus raised the master bolt in his hand; he spoke in ancient Greek, stating that he claimed Perseus Achilles Jackson as his and his wife's child. Lightning flashed, and thunder exploded overhead signaling the adoption process complete. Percy walked over toward his uncle, now adoptive father and hugged him tightly. When they broke apart Zeus wore a large smile on his face. The gods in the room looked on happily as the scene played out. Hera joined the two in the hug. The three of them turned around to face Zeus's other children. "I now introduce all of you to your younger brother, Perseus Jackson." Apollo and Hephaestus were the first to greet their new brother. Artemis walked over reluctantly, and gave him a slight nod of greeting. Aphrodite gave him a slight nod as well before she left the room to check on Ares. Hermes walked over to Percy.

"I do not like people accusing my children." Hermes said. Percy stared into Hermes's eyes.

"I don't blame you, Luke is my friend, but he did betray us, hopefully he was duped like Ares and Triton." Percy said. Hermes gave the demigod a hopeful smile, then he extended his hand, Percy shook it thankfully. Athena and Annabeth walked over to Percy.

"I guess you really are my brother now." Athena said. Percy smiled happily at her, and then he hugged her again making her blush. When they broke apart Annabeth was standing in front of them.

"I guess we need to go back to camp seaweed brain." Annabeth said. Percy laughed at his nickname.

"I guess so, wise girl." Percy said. The two demigods said their goodbyes to the gods, and left the throne room. They walked hand in hand to the elevator. They entered the elevator, and proceeded to the lobby. They met Argus, and the van, then they drove back to camp.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Annabeth asked.

"I want to train, have fun, and hang out with this one beautiful daughter of Athena." Percy quipped.

"You like one of my sisters?" Annabeth asked mockingly. Percy held her hand in his as he looked into her eyes.

"I was talking about you, oh wise one." Percy said as he leaned towards her lips.

"Just making sure you remembered." Annabeth said happily, but before their lips met the van hit a bump, and the two cracked heads. They both cursed in ancient Greek, Argus gave them an apologetic look.

"Van rides are dangerous." Percy said sarcastically, making Annabeth laugh. They finally reached camp; Argus let them out near the camp entrance. Annabeth and Percy thanked him, and walked towards the camp boundary holding hands tightly.

Percy's POV

Annabeth and I crossed the boundary of camp holding hands; we were surprised at the sight before us. Standing in a large group was the entire camp; they began clapping when they saw us. Grover and the twins broke through the crowd; they hugged Annabeth and I furiously until we had to push them off of us to breathe. I saw people staring at me, and others whispering.

"Chiron, may I address the campers?" I asked. Mr. D walked up, and for the first time ever he gave me a smile, weird.

"Yes, everyone Percy has something to say." Chiron said.

"I want to thank all of you for welcoming us back to camp. Our quest was successful as all of you must know. I also assume that you've all heard about my real identity." I said as the campers began to gossip even louder, but they hushed when I raised my hand.

"Yes, I have the powers of the eldest gods, plus the blessing of Athena." I said. At the revelation about Athena, Malcolm and Annabeth's other siblings looked at me in wonder.

"Poseidon may have helped conceive me, but he is no longer my father. I have been adopted by Zeus and Hera." I said, at this revelation all the campers began to ask questions. Chiron raised his hand as he strode in front of me.

"It has been a long day for Percy; I think he needs his rest." Chiron said. He turned towards me. "Your belongings are in cabin two now." I nodded in acknowledgement. The campers all stared at me in wonder. Annabeth grabbed my hand as she pushed her way through the crowd, we finally reached cabin two. The cabin was made of white Olympian marble with slim and delicate columns. The cornice line of the cabin had carvings of pomegranates and flowers. I had heard this cabin was cold inside, so I wondered how I would like it. The exterior walls had beautiful paintings of peacocks. Annabeth opened the door to the cabin, instead of cold I saw a warm fire burning in a beautiful marble fireplace. The statue of Hera was no longer in the cabin, I guess Hera brought it back to Olympus. The walls were warm colors of red, yellow, and gold. One large queen size bed sat off to the side of the room, it was made from a beautiful dark wood. A desk sat against the other wall with a blue laptop sitting on it. Against the other wall was a beautiful fountain that had carved images of Olympus on it.

"Its beautiful." Annabeth said. I had to agree, I saw my minotaur horn hanging from the wall near my desk. I walked over to it, and admired my new home. "Are you ok?"

"I'm going to miss my old cabin, it smelled like the sea." I said. Annabeth sighed with understanding.

"I know it was pretty good, but I think you'll like it here. At least you know that Hera and Zeus care about you." Annabeth said.

"I just find it funny, that my father disowns me, and then my aunt and uncle adopt me all in the same day." I said as I shook my head in disbelief. Annabeth looked at me, and I could tell that she was unsure what to say. Children of Athena weren't good with emotions. I gave her a hug, then pulled her within arms reach, and stared into her eyes. "Don't worry, I'm ok as long as I have you, and the rest of my family and friends."

"Where do I fall in there?" Annabeth asked. I gave her a happy smile.

"You're my wise girl, how's that?" I asked. Annabeth returned my smile as she looked at me with her shining grey eyes.

"You're my seaweed brain." Annabeth said, she yawned, and I knew it was getting late. "I need to go to my cabin." Annabeth kissed me on the lips quickly, and ran out of my cabin as I just stood there touching my lips, damn she can literally turn my brain to jelly, I thought. I walked to my door, and opened it I looked toward the Athena cabin to see the door shut behind her. A flash of blonde hair drew my attention to the woods just beyond the Hermes cabin. I saw Luke walk out of from behind his cabin. He walked up half-blood hill. I followed him until he stopped about ten feet from Thalia's tree.

"Luke, where are you going?" I demanded. Luke turned around, he had a determined look on his face.

"I'm leaving Percy." Luke said.

"I know you are the thief, but if you were tricked into it, your punishment will be lessened." I said. Luke began to laugh at my statement.

"Percy, I'm working for Kronos, I wasn't duped like some stupid war god." Luke said.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked.

"My father has never been there for me or my mother. Zeus let Thalia die, and for what?" Luke yelled.

"Luke, I know how you feel, my father was never there for me too, but Kronos is just using you. He doesn't care about your feelings." I said.

"What about Thalia?" Luke asked.

"When Thalia was born Athena was given a prophecy, she was destined to die, but Zeus violated a portion of ancient law turning her into the tree." I said. Luke looked at me curiously.

"How do you know?" Luke asked.

"I was there, I saw everything. I saw when she was injured, I saw her die, and I saw Zeus turn her into a tree." I said. Luke looked at me in surprise.

"You lie, I must obey my master." Luke said.

"No, you don't." I said. Luke looked at me sympathetically. He pulled out his sword as if he was surrendering. He held it parallel to the ground with the handle of the sword lying in one palm and he blade in the other. I walked toward him, I was only a foot from him when he moved quickly slashing his sword across my stomach. I fell over onto my knees cursing my stupidity.

"I'm sorry Percy, we might have been like brothers in a different life." Luke said. He wiped his blade clean, and I saw the green liquid on the blade, poison. I watched as Luke walked down the hill and through the border. I felt the blood pour out of me, and then I felt the heat and sting of the poison as it coursed through my bloodstream. I screamed loudly causing the ground to shake. I heard footsteps behind me, and then I passed out.

I awoke some time later in the infirmary with a familiar god standing over me. "Apollo" I said. The blonde haired and blue eyed god smiled at me.

"You're running up a pretty big doctor bill Perce." Apollo said. I tried to give him a small smile, but my stomach hurt. "Don't worry, the poison is gone, and I stitched you up as good as new. You should be ready to cut a head off a dummy in no time." A small smile crossed my lips. Apollo grinned at me, and put a hand on my shoulder. "Little brother, you have a few people who want to see you. Is that ok?" I nodded in approval. Apollo walked out, and a few seconds later, Annabeth, Grover, Nico and Bianca walked in, they all smiled when they saw me. Annabeth hugged me around the neck, and I could see tears in her eyes.

"Who did this to you seaweed brain?" Annabeth asked. I scowled as I remembered what Luke did.

"I'm sorry Annabeth, but Luke did this. He's joined Kronos." I said. Everyone's eyes grew big, Annabeth began to cry loudly now. I rubbed circles on her back trying to comfort her.

"Why did he do it?" She asked.

"He was ordered to stab me, but that's not your question. He said that he wants payback against his father and Zeus. He hates his father for never being there, and he hates Zeus because of Thalia." I said. Annabeth and Grover both looked at me sadly. I looked at Nico and Bianca.

"Kiddos, how do you like camp?" I asked. They both smiled at me happily.

Its great Perce." Nico said.

"Yeah, Annabeth has been helping me." Bianca said as she gave Annabeth a thankful smile. "We need to get to archery, get well soon Percy." Bianca and Nico waved as they walked out of the infirmary.

"Get well Perce, I'll come back later." Grover said.

"Thanks for checking on me G-man." I said as Grover walked out of the infirmary leaving me and Annabeth alone.

Annabeth wiped her last tears away. "I'm sorry for crying." Annabeth said.

"You need to get the pain out, it will make you feel better." I said.

"When did you become the psychologist?" Annabeth asked.

"I've hung around your mother too much." I said.

"I need to go teach ancient Greek, I'll be back in two hours." Annabeth said as she kissed me on the cheek, I waved to her as she left the infirmary. Once she was out the door a golden light appeared in front of me revealing the goddess of wisdom.

"Athena, are you checking up on me." I asked.

"Don't flatter yourself little brother." Athena said.

"I have to get use to you and your siblings calling me brother." I said with a small smile.

"How do you feel Perseus?" Athena asked.

"Sore, but I'll live according to Apollo." I said.

"When you get better, we need to see you on Olympus. We want to talk to you about where you want to stay when the summer is over, but for now just get your rest.

"Athena" I said. She turned toward me with a curious look on her face.

"I thought of one thing we never figured out." I said.

"What's that?" Athena asked.

"How those non-Greek monsters appeared?" I said. Athena looked at me thoughtfully.

"You're right, we'll look in to it, just heal little brother." Athena said as she leaned over and kissed me on the top of my head. She walked out the door giving me a small nod. I laid my head down on the pillow, but I couldn't stop thinking about Luke and his choice to betray us. His betrayal hurt more than Triton's. He was my friend for a short time, but now he tried to kill me. I knew the next time we'd meet, I would most likely have to kill him. I prayed that if I had to kill him in the future, that Annabeth wouldn't hate me. I cared for her more than I should, but I couldn't help it.

AN: I hope you enjoyed this last chapter. The next story will be loosely based on the Sea of Monsters, it will most likely come out when I finish my three remaining stories, please be patient, and happy holidays.
