Suddenly a god appeared in the reaction room, his hair was curly and wild, he wore large disco glasses which looked like they could be from thirty years ago. The god didn't look surprised, instead he looked excited as if he was about to have a treat given to him.

"Ha, ha, ha!" The god laughed, "What do we have here?" He asked as he looked at the large black box in front of him. It was unlike anything he had ever since before, nothing like the Greeks or his family possess on Mount Olympus. The god suddenly felt a strong urge to take it and claim it as his own.

"That's a television," a young girl said as she randomly appeared in front of him.

The god's eyes widened, sparkling with curiosity as he looked at the young girl, "Now who are you?"

She rolled her eyes, "My name is Alyx. And before you bother to introduce yourself, you're Hermes."

"Very good, Alexandrya," he grinned, making Alyx bubble with annoyance at the use of her full name.

"Let's just cut to the chase. Hermes I've brought you here to react to a musical which was made by you and a person you will meet in the future named Jorge Rivera-Herrans, this musical is about Odysseus and his journey home. I've brought you here to react to your two songs in the musical."

"Two?" Hermes questions, his mouth ajar, "I only have two songs?"

"Yeah well—" Alyx went to explain but then decided against it, "You know what? No, the reaction is starting, pay attention."

Hermes pouted but did as the young girl told him. He watched as a live recording appeared on the screen.

[HERMES]
I must say what a brilliant speech you gave

Hermes smiled proudly as he saw himself appear on the screen, looking as dashing as always.

Annabeth rolled her eyes.

He gasped, "Who is that blonde girl? How dare she roll her eyes at moi."

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Who goes there?

Hermes noted that this is a musical and that the reason why Odysseus doesn't look like he remembers is because it's retelling.

[HERMES]
Just a friend who could help you save your men
A foe like Circe is not to be messed with
You want to beat her?
You'll need the blessing of a certain god
Divine intervention
Someone who's not afraid to send a message

"YOU'LL NEED ME!!!" he exclaimed.

"Gods really love to stalk Odysseus in the
woods," Frank noticed.

"Yeah! Wasn't that how Athena and
Odysseus met?"

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Hermes?

[HERMES]
Hahahahaha
Wouldn't you like a taste of the power?

"Omg, is Hermes flirting with Odysseus?!"
Leo laughed.

Hermes winked at the screen, "You know it darling." He then turned to a wall, "I must say, Alyx, this drawing of Odysseus is rather dashing, may I have a painting of it?"

He waited for a second before turning back to the screen, frowning as Alyx ignored his request.

Nico frowned, "Annabeth, didn't you say
that Hermes was Odysseus' grandfather?"

Hermes frowned, "When did that ever stop anyone?"

Annabeth sighed, "Yes, yes I did."

Wouldn't you like to use more than words?
Deep in the night the fight lasts for hours
You can be hurt or you can beat her

"This song is so catchy!" Hazel grinned as
she sang along to the song.

Hermes grinned, "I like this one, she has taste!"

Wouldn't you like to havе some of the magic?
Wouldn't you like your outcomе preferred?
Deep in the night the fight can be tragic
I'll help you conquer her
She can turn you into an animal that'll end up on her plate
She can all but make you fall in love like you're on your hundredth date

"EW!" Frank covered his eyes.

"That's your grandchild Hermes, chill!"
Percy rolled his eyes.

Hermes frowned, not seeing what was wrong with his advances. Everyone in his family has been with another, it's how they help the gods alive.

"Guys! It's Greek mythology! This isn't even
the weirdest relationship on the family
tree," Annabeth explained.

Percy shook his head, "Nuhuh, Annie, how
would you feel if we have a kid and my dad
got all flirty like that with them."

Annabeth's face paled, "Ew! Get away from
him Hermes!"

"Are these children descendants of my family?" Hermes asked, receiving yet again, another silence.

She can conjure up a monster that'll grind you to the bones
She has all the ways to haunt ya when you take her on alone

Hermes rolled his eyes, "Circe isn't that powerful."

[HERMES & ENSEMBLE]
Wouldn't you like a taste of the power?
Wouldn't you like to use more than words?
Deep in the night the fight lasts for hours
You can be hurt or you can beat her
Wouldn't you like to have some of the magic?
Wouldn't you like your outcome preferred?
Deep in the night the fight can be tragic
I'll help you conquer her

Hazel, Leo and Piper were singing along to
the song, completely oblivious to Hermes
flirting with his grandchild on the screen.

Thalia bit her lip as she watched the song,
ignoring her friends' childish remarks as
Hermes flirted with Odysseus.

"Well isn't that one a stick in the mud?" He laughed.

Oh

[HERMES]
Here in the root of this flower
There lies such a power to take her on
You must consume and digest it

Percy gagged. Nico rolled his eyes, he
couldn't believe he ever had a crush on the
black haired boy.

"Thank you, child that looks like they were born in the pits of Tartarus! The beach boy is just overreacting."

Then you'll manifest a being of your creation
All you need's imagination

"Odysseus is so done with Hermes," Jason
laughed.

"I don't blame him, Hermes is a lot to deal
with, but the Hermes we know is still no
were near as touchy as this one."

"Boo!! I sound boring in the future."

Annabeth nodded, agreeing with Hermes,
"He's just judgy now."

Hermes gasped, "How dare you?!"

Though it's only for a moment
Till you've beaten your opponent

[HERMES, spoken]
And I call this root: Holy Moly

"Annabeth," Reyna turned to the blonde,
"Did you use this holy moly when you
defeated Lady Circe?"

Annabeth shuffled in her seat uncomfortably,
she knew that Reyna was one of the ladies
at Circe's Island when Annabeth freed the
pirates, "Kind of, I used Hermes'
multivitamins, it's like moly in a pill."

Hermes listened as the demigods spoke, growing to dislike his future self more and more by the minute.

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Ah

[HERMES]
Hahahahahaha!

[HERMES & ENSEMBLE]
Wouldn't you like a taste of the power?
Wouldn't you like to use more than words?
Deep in the night the fight lasts for hours
You can be hurt or you can beat her

"It makes sense why he has so many kids."

Hermes grinned, at the moment he only had nineteen kids, which by all means wasn't a lot, the idea that he has more in the future made him fill with excitement.

Wouldn't you like to have some of the magic?
Wouldn't you like your outcome preferred?
Deep in the night the fight can be tragic
I'll help you conquer her

[HERMES & ENSEMBLE, ODYSSEUS]
(Oh) Wouldn't you like a taste of the power?
Wouldn't you like to use more than words?
(Oh) Deep in the night the fight lasts for hours
You can be hurt or you can beat her
(Oh) Wouldn't you like to have some of the magic?

"The Gods seriously need to stop treating
Odysseus like a doll that they can throw
around!"

"Why?" Hermes asked, "He's a mortal."

Wouldn't you like your outcome preferred?
(Oh) Deep in the night the fight can be tragic

"Omg this face!" Leo laughed.

"Odysseus' face was quite hilarious, Darling. You should have seen it in person, it was even better!"

I'll help you conquer her

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Hermes
Thank you

[HERMES]
Don't thank me friend
You very well may die
Haha, good luck

The group exploded into laughter at
Odysseus' face as Hermes kissed his
cheek, even Reyna let out a giggle as she
forgot about what the next song was gonna
be about.

"What's the next song?"
