Hi! This is my first fanfic and it is adopted from Maples101. R & R, constructive critcism welcome. Enjoy~ 3


Poseidon's POV

I couldn't believe it, I wasn't the most powerful, most responsible, smartest, most handsome, or most talented god but I had always thought of myself as the best Olympian parent. But I failed that too, for 16 years, I was ignorant to the pain Percy has been through, perhaps it was because he was so cheerful, charismatic, selfless, and was the best son I could ever ask for. But was his smile was just a façade? A mask? Why didn't he tell me? Does he not trust me? I have to talk to him.

*FLASHBACK*

"Lord Poseidon?" I turned to face the daughter of Athena. "Ah Annabeth! What do you need child?" You see, unlike bird brain I do not drag our children into our feud. She looked up meekly and stood on her tippy toes to reach my ears, "I think Percy was abused as a child…" I met eyes with her; I'm not sure what I saw in her gray Athenian eyes, but it looked like Athena's when she was scheming something, but, she loves Percy, she wouldn't do anything against him… right? But, it didn't sound like a lie… "Abuse? Are you sure about this?" I eyed her suspiciously; I learnt not to trust Athena and her brain clones when they had those eyes.

"YES! YES! I'm sure! I think you should call a council meeting." "Isn't that too drastic Annabeth?" I questioned. "No! And be sure to show his memories to the council ok?" I am starting to question her... She must have realized my suspicions because she put her hand on her hips and said "Athena always has a plan." "Summon Perseus," "Yes milord" I turned on my heel and nodded my acknowledgement and flashed to the throne room.

I strode towards my throne and as I sat down I thumped my trident on the marble floor of the throne room. "I call upon the Olympians!" One by one, they flashed into their thrones, and of course, Zeus arrived last with Hera tightly latching on to his arm. "Why have you called us brother?" Zeus, being the dramatic being he is gathered the clouds above us to create a shadow above Olympus. "I have gathered the Olympians today to discuss my son."

"What did Percy do now?" Artemis sighed.

"Have you decided to let him be my punching ba- err, sparring buddy?" Ares coughed.

Hermes and Apollo suddenly jumped up "I know! You are finally going to let us bring him to a strip club and let him help us prank Olympus!"

The throne room burst into uproar, arguments, shouting, pulling hair (Aphrodite) and pies? "STOP!" I must have looked really scary because everyone's head snapped up as they slowly backed towards their thrones. "Percy has been through a lot and he fought a war for us and all you can do is argue!?" I'm on a roll! My rant continued…" He didn't have to fight Kronus! If he wanted to, he could've joined the titans for partial control over the world! But no, he stuck with us even though all we did was discuss whether or not to kill him!" The Olympians muttered their apologies so I stood up ready to announce Percy's problem. "It has come to light that Percy was abused by his step-father when he was a child."

The Olympians gasped, worry filled Hermes' and Apollo's eyes, Percy was like a son to them. But Hestia didn't seem to be surprised. "Hestia, why are you not surprised at this?" She looked up and sighed weakly, "Percy used to light a fire and speak to me whenever his father beat him, but I swore an oath to secrecy."After that my dear sister seemed to blank out so I let her be."I have sent the daughter of Athena to bring Percy here."

For a few minutes no one spoke, Artemis kept on wringing her hands on her lap, Hera looked frustrated and Apollo and Hermes looked downright worried. Suddenly I felt the presence of the sea, I flashed to the entrance to get him. I may or may not have looked really angry because Percy looked a tad worried, but I'm not angry at him, no, I'm angry at that man walrus that was lucky enough to have Sally. As I sat on the throne ready to announce Percy's past Zeus stood up and said it for me. "It has come to our attention that Percy was abused as a child."

I watched in horror as I saw Percy was pulled back harshly when he tried to run out of the throne room, I watched him break free of Ares' grip only to be tied down by Dionysus' vine, and yet, I did nothing. Percy's eyes widened in fear as Apollo walked towards him slowly in long strides. He struggled and yelled out desperate to get away. He looked me straight in the eye and started to tear up when he saw me not doing anything to help him. I turned away guiltily, he started screaming even louder. Apollo turned to look at Zeus but was told to continue. "STOP! STOP! THIS IS CRUEL!"Artemis shouted. "This goes against my morals, son of Poseidon or not!" Athena growled.

Apollo was now in front of Percy; he looked around desperately, breaths becoming quick and shallow as he tried to protest. Apollo looked at Zeus pleading him to stop but Zeus just looked away. Apollo tapped Percy's forehead and as soon as he did that Percy fell to his knees and curled up into a ball. All the while the daughter of Athena just watched on as she changed her sitting position next to her mother.

A black cloud swirled around settling in front of Percy's motionless body. Then 5 year old Percy's bright smiling face appeared on "screen". The goddesses cooed as he cheerily waved good bye to his friends. But their smiles fell as Percy turned away and his eyes dulled, they held no shine, no happiness, just pain. He shoved his hands in his hands in his pockets and walked away, head down, back slumped.
