ChainzOfThePast: there are far too many writers I would to thank for inspiration for my story so all I can recommend is that you check under my favorites to see the authors and stories that I would like to thank. I'm going to warn you readers already I might do a lemon I am not sure but if I do I will be sure to put it in the summary. I really like the AthenaxPercy pairing so that is what this story is, I might throw in Artemis every so often but that's for later.
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or any of the Rick riordan characters. (None of us own the gods or goddesses so yeah, but because they are my religion I am pretty sure they are ok with this)
Olympus
"Percy Jackson!" Zeus's voice boomed in the throne room. Percy stepped forward, certain this time in his choice.
"You have been offered a second chance at godhood. Nothing no longer binds you to the mortal world, what say you?" he asked in a somewhat bored voice. Percy was slightly offended at Zeus's indifferent tone but answered nonetheless.
"I accept" Percy spoke in a sure tone. As soon as he said those words Zeus signaled for the other gods and goddesses to stand like him. When they all stood they began to chant in ancient Greek and Latin. Percy watched Athena the whole time with a sad yet awed expression on his face. He still remembered the say that Annabeth left him to be with Luke who somehow came back to life four years after the Titan war. She broke Percy's heart that day and later that same week the gods made him their offer. Now here he stood, bathed in gold light becoming a god. Suddenly the council stopped chanting and watched as Percy's vision faded in and out. He collapsed to his knees, his legs given out. Percy stared at Athena as he sat on his knees, their eyes locked with one another's. Before he succumbed to the darkness he thought beautiful all the while keeping his eyes locked on Athena's. Her eyes widened in shock and then there was darkness.
Athena's Palace
The first thing Percy saw when he woke was silver eyes that deep concern and something else he couldn't place.
"Aww man my head feels like Hades" he groaned as he slowly sat up. He took his time to look around and observe his surroundings. He started to sit up all the way but was pushed back onto his elbows by a soft yet strong hand. He complied and the hand retreated. He looked to the edge of the bed and saw that it was indeed Athena who was in here with him. Percy glanced down to the blanket he was sitting on and saw a large silver embroidered owl; I'm in ATHENA'S PALACE! Holy Hades I must be the luckiest guy alive! Percy forgot to guard his thoughts and Athena read them but gave nothing away that she had. He then started to look Athena over; she was wearing a white tight tank top, her golden hair tied up in a ponytail much like Annabeth used to do. He continued to check her out; her bright silver eyes that mesmerized him were staring at the book in her hand. Her right leg was stretched out, hanging over the bed while the other one was tucked under her right leg. She wore golden Greek sandals, her toenails and finger nails painted silver, her beautiful red lips parted slightly as she read. Percy reached forward to touch her pale creamy shoulder and found out her skin was as soft as it looked, he pulled himself into a sitting position and said
"Lady Athena you look wonderful" this caused a blush to overcome her cheeks and she responded
"Please Percy just call me Athena" with a small smile on her red lips.
"we should probably get to the council room now that you're awake" Athena told him as she stood up and stretched like a cat, her arms reaching skywards and her tank top riding up her taut smooth stomach revealing a small silver owl naval piercing. Percy couldn't help but stare at her in awe, lust, and something else she couldn't place. You would think she would get angry but instead she grinned and pulled Percy up and they disappeared in a golden flash.
"Holy Hades" Percy muttered as he and Athena appeared in the throne room. Percy stumbled a little like a drunk, disoriented from his first jump. Athena softly laughed as she watched Percy stumble. When he recovered he glanced at Athena who was still laughing softly and thought that's the most beautiful sound in the world. Athena tucked her hands in her pockets and strolled over to Percy, stood on her tippy toes on front of him and whispered in his ear
"You and me are going to have a little talk later" in a sugar coated in tone that made Percy pale. He simply nodded and turned towards Zeus who stood up and stared at him.
"Percy it is time for you to assume your godly height" Zeus stated as he and all the others grew into fifteen feet tall giants. Percy looked up at Athena and concentrated when she flashed him an encouraging smile that made him melt. Suddenly he started to grow, when he got to Athena's height Percy expected to stop but alas that was not the case and he continued to grow. Percy shot through the thirty foot ceiling and didn't stop until he reached fifty feet. The gods and goddesses stared up at him in shock and amazement. To say Percy was shocked is an understatement. He quickly shrunk down to normal size. Athena quickly walked over to Percy, grabbed his hand and intertwined her slender fingers with his. Percy was shocked yet again but didn't question it for fear of her letting go. Percy emitted such power that when Zeus spoke it was in a nervous tone
"It appears that we are in the presence of a Titan"
"wait, WHAT!?" Percy exclaimed, bewildered and somewhat panicky. Athena unlatched her hand and ran it up and down his back soothingly while softly saying
"I'm here for you Percy, it going to be all right, I'm not going anywhere" Percy flashed her a small but grateful smile of relief. Poseidon quickly ran over and hugged his son tightly. When he pulled back and had his hands on Percy's shoulders he said with great joy
"Son I've never been more proud in my whole life. Ha! My son is a Titan that is stronger than Zeus himself!" he shouted to everyone in the room.
"Yes but if he is a Titan dear brother then he will be banished to Tartarus" Zeus said with an evil smirk. Percy's eyes grew wide at what he just heard and were about to speak but Athena beat him to it
You will not banish him father, over my everlasting body!" Zeus furiously bolted out of his throne and slapped Athena
"You will not speak to me that way!" he shouted in rage. Athena collapsed into Percy's arms as Poseidon stepped back shocked at what just occurred. Athena's cheek was red and there were a few tears silently streaming down her cheek as Percy murmured soothing words to her. Percy then started shaking in anger and said in a low voice that would have stopped Typhon in his tracks
"Don't you dare touch her" Percy slowly set a still trembling Athena down onto the ground, gave her a quick kiss on the cheek that wiped the tears away and bolted at Zeus faster than even Hermes could move. Percy picked the king of the gods up by the throat, held him in the air and said while Zeus was struggling
"Do no ever touch her or threaten her, or you just might find yourself fighting Chaos" then he dropped Zeus on his ass and turned to the crowd of gods and goddesses watching and said
"I am Chaos the first Titan, my soul has become one with Percy Jackson's and now we are whole" with that being said Percy walked over to his father, bid him farewell until later and scooped Athena up bridal style and flashed out of there, leaving the council and Zeus stunned.
In Athena's Palace
Percy gently set Athena down onto her bed and sat down next to her. They remained there for a while, Athena's head downcast and looking away from Percy who remained patient. Finally after what seemed like an eternity Athena softly spoke though she still faced away
"Percy… I'm afraid" her voice laced with fear.
"Of what?" Percy questioned, a little surprised at what she said.
"I'm afraid of what father will do to you and me" she softly in a shaky voice and as she turned her head towards Percy he could see the tears glistening in her bright silver eyes. Percy's heart felt like it broke when he saw the broken expression on her face but he didn't know what to say so instead of speaking he decided to use actions and leaned forwards and pressed his lips against her soft ones. After a couple seconds of shock Athena eagerly responded and slightly moaned when Percy ran the tip of his tongue against her bottom lip, begging for entrance silently. After a moment of brief hesitation Athena obliged and opened her mouth to Percy's assault on her mouth. After a brief tongue battle for dominance, which Athena won (for now!) they broke apart to look at each other before Percy gently laid her down and straddled her waist and started to passionately kiss her again. He ran his hand down her chest and over her flat stomach lightly before he came to the hem of her shirt and slowly lifted it and ran his hand up her soft yet strong stomach to her right breast which he cupped and started to softly squeeze causing her to moan and arch her back and gasp, her beautiful red lips parting in euphoria. As Percy's lips left hers and made their way down to her collar bone, nipping and kissing her skin on the way down. Suddenly Athena pushed Percy up and into her lap and gently pushed him away with her slender hands on his chest. They remained there, slender fingers and silver finger nails drumming on his chest gently. She sighed and spoke with a serious tone and eyes
"Percy if we continue doing what we started I'm going to regret this"
"Are you saying you don't want me…" Percy trailed off sadly, eyes downcast. Athena pulled his face up to hers with her slender fingers, Percy sliding out of her lap and she climbing onto his lap,
"Percy I love you, I don't know how but I do" she admitted shyly, it being her turn to turn away and Percy pulling her face upwards towards his, Percy grinning like he just won a million drachmas and said
"I love you to Athena, I also don't know how but I do"
"I love you very much Percy but I don't think I'm ready to lose that yet until we are married" she responded and got a worried look on her face when she saw Percy's eyes glaze over and get a far off look in his eyes. Percy smiled and said happily
"Well then I guess we won't have to wait too long then" Athena smiled and laid her head on Percy's chest and he reached a hand up and stroked her soft golden silky hair. He then scooted back so that he rested his back against the head board and pulled Athena tighter against him, she wrapped her slender smooth legs around his waist and once again rested her head on his chest and whispered
"I look forward to that day Percy Jackson I really do"
"So do I my love, so do I"
