LAST TIME:

"Oh I forgot to mention Sally is the current leader of the God Slayers at this current moment. I used to be their leader after I kicked all their asses and they began to follow me around and swore their allegiance to me. Kind of took my time and remade the group from the ground up and now they are a personal small army of immortals with the powers to kill gods. Kind of like your hunters but each one possess the power to kill a god or two." I said as Artemis's mouth fell open.

"You are the leader of the God Slayers? The very group of people that the Olympians have place on their most wanted list?" Asked Artemis as the people around us with the cloaks looked our direction as Sally joined them and turned around.

"Now you three this is Perseus Jackson the god killer and titan slayer, the last leader of the God Slayers that went under the name of Mortality the immortal slayer. One of the most powerful non godly beings in this universe. Or as I like to call him dad or the walking natural disaster." Sally finished off as Artemis slowly turned her head towards me.

"Hey look at it this way when we get married they will be your problem as well." I said as I got three hay's and one face palm from a certain moon goddess.

NOW:

ZOE POV:

As I opened my fifth present that contained a dagger silver dagger I simply sighed and tossed it off to the side with the other 25 of them. Though each one was as beautiful to the last and contained magical properties such as glowing like moonlight, lighting itself on fire, and even one electrical properties. But after 25 of them...wait make that 26, as I saw another one tossed in the pile by one of my sisters in arms. They kind of got repetitive.

"Gosh he really thought these things out, look at this cloak." Said Phoebe as she pulled out a pure white winter cloak that looked like freshly fallen snow. But as we all looked at it as I smile and pointed to a pile of other cloaks he had gotten me for basically every environment ever. Each as beautiful and still magical as the last.

"So are you going to like distribute some of these to us because I don't think your room can hold 1, 2, 3... 45 pairs of combat boots." Kristy said as she placed another box on the pyramid of them across the room.

"Yeah I think I am going to have to, still most of it am keeping because who doesn't love a gold plated bow." I said as I unwrapped a gift containing a pair of normal clothes which surprised me a little. However the shirt was too small for me so I tossed it in the give to hunters pile. However the pants looked nice so tossed them in my personal pile to try out.

"Sure and who doesn't like a diamond encrusted interspatial bracelet." Said Lilly as she tossed the said item to me as everyone 'oohed' at the shiny bracelet that was silver with diamonds all around it.

"Wait how do you know it is an interspatial bracelet?" I asked as she tapped her wrist as I mimicked her as suddenly 50 more presents popped out of it and landed on an unsuspecting hunter as she cried out in horror as she was buried alive. We all laughed and dug her out quickly as she huffed in annoyance.

"I am not sure to be mad or happy for you. On the upside he actually cared enough to get you all these, on the downside he could have been more imaginative and gotten you more than just tools and clothes." Said Atlanta as she petted the small penguin that was gifted to Hestia by dad, currently we were watching him so he wouldn't get in trouble as they all talked.

"True like who needs like 500 pairs of socks?" Asked Fay as she tossed yet another package of them in a massive pile.

"Yeah I mean some of this stuff is cute but come one, the least he could have gotten you is like a car." One said as I smirked and pulled up three pairs of car keys as their mouth dropped open.

"Okay he is officially the coolest dad ever." Said Atlanta as we all laughed.

"Oh my god guys you will not believe what I just found." One said as we all turned to see a fairly new packaged was opened up as she held a box with what looked to be cards.

"What are those?" I asked as she looked up from one card she pulled out of the box.

"They are recipes, all Hestia approved." She added as all of our eyes lit up. This could improve our dinning in the hunt by tenfold. Not to dis my mom or anything but she kind of stinks at cooking. Like one time she gave the whole hunt food poisoning what a glorious week that was.

"Really? Let me see some." I said as she started to pass out cards to everyone as we all read them over. All of them looked absolutely scrumptious but then in my small stack given to me I stopped as I looked at the title. I could only start laughing out loud as they all turned to me as I hit my knee as I continued to laugh.

"What did you find?" Asked one as I caught my breath and chuckled a few times.

"Penguin stew." I said as all their faces fell in disgust as Atlanta quickly wrapped the penguin up in a hug as fear cross her face.

"We are disposing of that one." Said Veronica as she snatched the recipe out of my hand as she quickly tore it up as we all laughed again. Quickly they were put away once again as we went back to unwrapping the presents.

"Hey check it out." One said as we all looked up to see her pointing at something as we all turned to see my dad and mom talking to four people. One in particular who was the only uncloaked one was beautiful to say the least. However as they talked we noticed my mother giving very profound reactions to Percy as he spoke to the women. However suddenly her mouth dropped then dad spoke and then she threw her hands up in the air in exasperation.

Dad then just laughed as she rolled her eyes and walked away and towards us, quickly we made a spot for her by me as she sighed heavily. She then sat down and sat Indian style and rested her head on her hand.

"I something wrong mom?" I asked first seeing her miserable mood. She glanced at me then sat up properly as she looked at our stacks of gifts that now number in 1034 presents. Barely a fifth into the massive pile in the room.

"No nothing is technically wrong but I feel betrayed." She huffed out in annoyance as we all shared a glance then turned back to her.

"How so?" I asked as she looked at me.

"Well I did just find out you have a sister that is a brain baby between your father and Hestia." She said as I didn't even bat an eye actually none of the hunters did. I then got a weird look from mom.

"I expected you to react more." She said as I raised an eyebrow.

"Me and the hunters knew about her from long ago, she and a group called the god slayers rescued us from a horde of monsters back in 34 BC. You were on Olympus and basically we talked and stuff she did tell me I was her sister but I assumed she was another child of Atlas I didn't know about. Not very surprising that she is a child of Percy now that I know he is my father."

"However the Hestia part I have been thinking about for a while, she did tell me her mother was a goddess. I couldn't find any goddess that matched her looks other than Hestia so you could say I guessed it." I said as her mouth dropped open as all the hunters nodded.

"And you never thought to mentions this meeting to me?" She asked.

"She asked us not since their existence was like super-secret, also they agreed to tell no one we almost died at monsters hands." I said as Artemis could only stare at us with her eyebrows close to one another in a thinking glare.

"Well it is good to know that you keep secrets from me, which means I can start keeping secrets of my own." She said as I opened my mouth but chose to close it.

"So...are you mad at him for not telling you?" I asked as she snorted and grabbed a packaged from my hands as it suddenly opened itself as a cute purse arose from it and floated in front of her.

"Yeah I guess you could say that...but for some stupid reason I can't seem to stay mad at him. I guess it is because it is simply him fucking Omega heat and all that shit." She cursed as we all giggled a little as she shot a glare at us as we all quickly silenced ourselves.

"Anyways I guess you could say I kind of expected him to have one or two more kids other than you. Did you know that Hecate is you stepsister in name only?" She asked me as my eyes shot open and my mouth hung open in surprise.

"I will take that as a no...yeah if you want to know the full story talk to your father." She said as I was stumped as of why Hecate would be my stepsister. Though some thoughts did arise in my head they were quickly dismissed as I focused on the goddess by my side.

"So are the god slayers on our side?" I asked as she gave me a funny stare.

"I thought they would have told you back then." She said as I shook my head.

"They said they are an army for rent and at the time the Romans had purchased them." I said as she slowly nodded.

"I guess armies do need money to operate...well this time they are with us for the war. Kind of don't want their world destroyed." She said with an emotionally spent stare.

"So anyways who are the three eating all my cupcakes?" I asked and to answer my question dad began to walk over with said people. As he did Sally gave me a smile which I returned and dad gave one as well.

"Hey there frozen grumpy butt you going to come with us?" He asked as most of the hunters glared at him as Artemis just rolled her eyes and looked up at him.

"Not if you are going to be that way, I could just tell Hestia you are being mean to me and we both know how that will turn out." She said with a smirk as he gulped as Sally just nodded.

"Mom does have her way with men well this one in particular." Sally said with a sharp elbow to dad's side as he flinched.

"Okay you two stop ganging up on me." He said holding up his hands in surrender.

"Fine but I am bringing the hunt with us, I think they could use a break from opening presents." Mom said as I nodded along with the rest.

"So what are we doing anyways?" I asked as Dad looked at me.

"We are going to see an old friend and get these three checked out. He will be able to assess their abilities and growth for the future. Also he might be able to unlock pathways to previously hidden abilities." He said as I was curious as who this person was now.

"He could check you two out if you want as well, maybe he might find an ability you haven't discovered yet." Dad said as mom seemed to think about it.

"How does he check?" Mom asked.

"Simple." He said as he reached out a finger and poker her forehead as she frowned at him and swatted his hand away.

"Don't do that." She said as I rolled my eye with dad.

"Whatever, but that is how he checks you just have to be sitting down when he does it." Percy explained as Artemis sighed.

"Fine but if he touches me in any other way he can count on losing his hand." She said as dad chuckled and nodded.

"Fair enough now let's get going the drive will take a while." He said as Artemis just stared at him.

"What?" He asked as she rolled her eyes.

"I think she is wondering why she can't teleport there." I added in as he nodded.

"His place has a barrier around it, kind of cant teleport to it even if you wanted to. Anyways you would need the coordinates to his place and I don't think you gods are able to comprehend a third dimension in your coordinates." He said as I grew confused along with Artemis.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Asked Artemis as Percy sighed and glanced at Sally who just had a smirk on her face, even the people with the cloaks were smirking at him as well. However Percy walked forward and suddenly picked up Artemis, bridal style I might add. I just blushed at the sight but instantly hid it as Artemis nearly screamed at him.

"Let me down!" She said in an angry voice but he wasn't listening as he began to walk forward as the whole hunt just starred. Not in anger but in surprise as they saw mom's cheeks flare red in embarrassment as she was held so close to him. We all just stared and stared as they walked away until finally Phoebe spoke.

"Took her long enough." She said as we all turned to her as she stood there with her arms crossed and face like a stone of no emotion.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked as Phoebe rolled her eyes. Even though I had a good idea and kind of was rooting for it to happen I still had to keep up my hunter like attitude in front of the girls.

"Oh come on you would have to be blind to not see how Artemis looks at him and acts around him. In all my years of living which I might add is older than everyone here I have never seen her act like that around a man other than Perseus. She turns into a shy and easily embarrassed women that overreacts easily when she sees him with a women. If I had to say any better I would say Artemis is truly in love with Percy, no Omega heat or not." She finished as some of the girls exchanged nervous glances.

"But isn't that what she stands against?" One asked as Phoebe thought about it.

"I would have to say no to that, think about it for a second. You all might not have noticed but Artemis never said we couldn't love anyone and the pledge of the hunt is more of a statement than a promise. There are a few out there but there are men that are in simple words perfect, just look at Perseus. He has never said an ill word about women and from his actions I can see he highly respects them. I hate to admit it but if there was another man like your dad around and he was my physical age...I would probably fall head over heels for him if he treated me like Percy treats Artemis." She said as all of our mouths dropped, but I could understand her words.

"So what does that all mean?" Another hunter asked as Phoebe sighed.

"Well to put it simply you can fall in love just don't pick a stupid male pick one who will treasure you with everything he has. But also remember boys aren't the only option." She said with a grin directed right at me as I blushed uncontrollably and turned away. All the hunters were al to busy blushing as well at Phoebe's comment to notice me.

"Now let's catch up." She said as the hunters all rushed forward shaking their heads as I sensed dirty thoughts running through them. However as I ran with them I felt a small hand slip into mine as I turned to see a blushing Tracy. I simply blushed as well as I tightened my grip around her hand.

"Sorry but this one is already taken." I heard Tracy whisper as I smiled and continued on with my lover hand in hand.

LINEBREAK:

PERCY POV:

"Here we are." I said as I turned back to everyone as they looked at my strangely and then at the building in front of me.

"An antique shop? Kind of seems like a stupid hideout to me." Said Artemis looking at the front of the store with its small knickknacks and other things.

"Yeah it is I will give you that one but this is only a cover, now all of you follow me in an orderly fashion and please for the love of Chaos do not touch anything in the store." I said as they all gave me a weird look.

"Why?" Zoe asked.

"Because if you do I don't know if it will curse you or not and to be honest I don't know if I have the skill to reverse it." I said honestly as all their eyes widened and instantly stuck their hands behind their backs.

"Good now follow me." I said as I entered the store and went right for the man currently sleeping with a magazine on his face. It was the latest issue of Aphrodite monthly so that was currently a dead giveaway.

"Hey." I said as I kicked the desk in front of me as he snorted and shot awake sending the magazine flying into my chest as I picked it up to see some nudes of the said goddess's magazine.

"Well at least some things haven't changed." I said as I tossed him the magazine back as he groggily caught it and rubbed his eyes.

"What do you want, we are closed." He said with a yawn as I chuckled at the same time Artemis just shot him a glare that could kill as he sat back up and kept looking at the magazine.

"I am here to see the big man, also Bobby you really need to stop reading stuff like that you are a married man." I said as he froze and looked up and studied my face as hard as he could. Slowly a smile graced his lips and he shot up and gave me hug and started to laugh. He then pulled away and examined me with a content nod.

"You haven't changed a bit, well maybe your posy has but still man what in the hell do you take to get this fucking perfect?" He asked as I chuckled as the girls just hissed at him. Sally and her group just shook their heads at his words as I spoke back.

"Just a daily dose of vitamins and perfectness every day for breakfast. Besides you shouldn't be the one talking you haven't changed a bit either." I said examining his 5 foot 11 and skinny build.

"Ah the wife keeps making me take these stupid Hermes multivitamins, also kind of being immortal because this job kind of helps. So who are the pretty ladies?" He asked with a wiggle of the eyebrows as they all glared at him, any harder and I am sure he would have caught fire.

"This is the hunt of Artemis and the goddess herself." I said slinging an arm around Artemis's shoulder as she instantly shrugged it off and shot me a glare.

"Oh how is little Zoe doing? I remember you telling me something about her a long time ago, something about a birthday present that isn't cursed? I don't remember all I do know is that you never got a noncursed item from here." He said as I chuckled.

"Well why don't you ask her yourself?" I said as I pulled Zoe closer to the counter since she was in arms reach. She just gave me a panicked looked as the man bent forward and examined her with a keen eye as she bent back a little from his head as it got closer to her.

"I must say you have grown a lot since the picture Percy had shown me, talk about weirdo let me tell you. Did you know that he got someone to draw a picture of you as a baby since there wasn't any cameras back then? Yeah he did and I think he still has it in his walled along with one of Sally." He said turning his head to Sally as she flipped him off as he chuckled. Let's just say the two are friends but only through me.

"Really?" Both Artemis and Zoe asked the same time as I chuckled nervously. But the curious looks of the two got the better of me as I signed.

"Yeah I admit I still have them." I said as I pulled out my wallet and showed Artemis as she just awed as a very well-drawn picture of Zoe as she smiled. You could mostly tell because she had a bow in her lap that was just too big for her to even lift. Then they got to Sally as they just ahhed harder as they examined a 3 year old Sally covered in cake batter as she was whisking away. Both pictures were drawn but they were so well drawn and shade they were just like black and white photos back in the 2000's.

"Wait who drew these?" Asked Artemis.

"Me of course, now stop going through my wallet." I said as I stole it back and put it in my front pocket I was not risking my privacy and some sensitive photos of Irene to them.

"Anyways Bobby I need to see the big man, he downstairs?" I asked as he nodded.

"Never leaves the place, constantly tinkering around and summoning weird things. I wouldn't be surprised if he burst into flame if the sunlight touched him." He said as I laughed.

"Well we need to see him." I said as he nodded.

"Sure but the elevator can only carry seven people." He said as I turned to look at sally and the hunt.

"The hunt is going to have to stay up here, Bobby make sure they don't touch anything. Also don't try and flirt with them or you may not have a store left to run." I said as he gulped as the hunters all shot him a glare.

"All of you stay put or go to the park and relax for a while." I said as they all looked at me funny.

"As in park you mean the floating one right?" One hunter asked as I slowly turned to Artemis as she giggled a little at my confused look.

"Yeah go to that one and just don't terrorize the mortals too much." She said as the hunters all nodded and left as I looked back at bobby.

"They have a floating park in New York?" I asked as he nodded.

"Yeah been here since 2349 don't tell me you haven't heard of it?" He said as I shook my head.

"He has been living in Antarctica since 2000 and only comes to the outside world for limited things." Artemis explain as Bobby shook his head.

"Well that just threw me through a loop, anyways elevator is on the right." He said as he opened up the door to the back area as we all entered. As we entered I noticed the place hadn't changed at all as I walked to the right and walked over to a rusty old elevator.

"Now we go in." I said as I pushed the down button, as the door creaked and screeched open as a flickering lightbulb turned on in the elevator. Inside the elevator was pealed wallpaper revealing dried red blotches and on the ground was some 1970's carpet that was deep red. It even had handle bars in it that were all rusted over.

"You can't be serious." Artemis said as Sally and her group walked inside before us.

"Super serious, now in you go." I said pushing her and Zoe in as they both looked terrified of the room as I entered it and turned to the control panel.

"So how many floors does this thing have?" Asked Artemis.

"Well in truth it only has two but the depth of the underground floor is deeper than just one normal floor." I said as they both looked at one another then back at me.

"Just how many floors is the second one down?" Asked Artemis.

"Six hundred and sixty six." I said as I hit the down arrow as it shot downwards at an alarming rate, the light began to quickly flicker on and off as I rolled my eyes at his old habits of forgetting to replace a lightbulb.

However to the two hunters in the room it was like death itself as they screamed out in terror as the screaming of elevator shaft and the wires was carried into the room. It only added for more effect of the horror as I watched the numbers start doing more and more negative until it hit -666 and came to an abrupt halt. As everyone but myself fell to the ground with a loud crash. I just turned to them all as Sally rubbed her head and looked up at me.

"I always hated that part." She said as she stood up as I helped up Artemis and Zoe both of which looked like scarred beyond reason. However as the door dinged liked any other elevator it opened up to reveal a very new looking waiting area. The others seemed interest as well as we walked in the room looking around.

No more red to be seen instead simple shades of light blue, even the walls had a massive fish tanks instead of actual walls. Thousands of exotic and nearly extinct species simply swam around in it as we all looked around. However as I looked around I noticed chair but not just any chairs floating chairs. But at this point I shouldn't be surprised as I sat down on the chair and grabbed a magazine but a cough interrupted my mulling's as I looked up to see a women sitting in the desk to my right.

"Do you need something?" She asked as she looked me with a critical gaze, however suddenly her tongue quickly dragged itself across her rose red lips as if she just spotted her new prey. Artemis however was standing right by her receptionist desk with one very angry twitching eyebrow.

"Yes we do Percy tell her." Artemis said as the women gave Artemis and unhappy expression.

"We are looking for Lucifer and I am surprised he managed to summon a succubus to be his receptionist." I said as I stood in front of her desk as her eyebrow twitched. However her glare quickly turned into a seductive smile as she looked at me.

"And I am surprised to find a human so full of energy how about you abandon that shrimp over there and come over to a real women." She said with a flutter of eyelashes as I snorted and shook my head. This did not seemed to please the receptionist as I saw her pupils turn into slits and instead of their purple color it turned deep red as well. Artemis saw this and moved to intercept the women but I shot her a glance as she nodded and backed away.

"I am a demon boy do you not realize that? I have existed far longer than you have and something I have learned is that if you want something you need to take it." She said as I stuck my hand in my pocket and tilted my head as if I was confused.

"Really?" I asked as I watched a black aura form around her and her fancy dress suit start to transform into basically a black pair of skin tight underwear with an intricate design. At the same time a pair of demon bat wings exploded out of her back as I watched everyone in the room tense at her display of power. Indeed it did exceed that of a major god which could be dangerous for Zoe so I needed to stop this.

"Do you really think a third class demon like yourself could possibly defeat a person like me?" I asked as suddenly a massive pair of royal blue wings shot out of my back as she froze. Everyone in the room was just starring with wide eyes as the angle wings spread out to max length of 15 feet each. My eyes no longer their sea green but now a royal blue color and my hair slowly growing longer until it extended down to my lower back still its normal black color.

"Why do you have his wings!?" She screamed at me and almost tripped backwards.

"Fourth of the seven sins sloth, Michael the archangel of will and right hand to god himself." I said as everyone backed up from me as I smirked at the trembling demon.

"Took me a while to decide who to choose for sloth but I decided with an angle, because who other gives you a false hope? They do nothing to help this world and instead laze around in heaven. If you ask me angles are the true sloth of this world." I said as I got a few curious looks from everyone. But as the silence in the room continued suddenly a slow clap was heard as I turned to see a man in a black suit with all of his hair slicked back and his face having that perfect...evil look.

"I must say that is awfully impressive Perseus last time you paid a visit you didn't have something taking the fourth sin. Also nice wings." He said with a smirk as everyone turned to him.

"Finally I thought I was going to have to obliterate your poor receptionist." I said as my wings instantly folded up and disappeared as my body slowly returned to normal. However the fear that was in the demons eyes was still evident as I gave her a glance.

"Now what can I do for my old friend?" He asked as I laughed.

"You just say that because I wiped out Orders screw up." I said as he chuckled and nodded.

"Indeed I am just happy us demons were smart enough to learn from the angles mistake of threatening you Olympians. Now tell me who is this young women?" He asked tilting his head at Artemis. The said goddess just raised up an eyebrow as I turned back to him.

"I would like to discuss that inside your work area, I have a few people for you to take a look at." I said motioning to Sally and the god slayers, at the time I noticed Sally waving at Lucifer as a tinge of red touched her cheeks.

"Well I don't see why not. You get back to work." He said motioning at the demoness as she quickly nodded and hopped back in her chair all her features returned to normal. I just laughed as I followed them in the room as I noticed a few chairs like the ones in the room but more of a reclined position.

"Here have a seat." He said motioning to a few chairs as we all took a seat around his desk.

"So who are the three you want me to take a look at?" Asked Lucifer.

"Yeah I want you to take a growth estimate and a power skill scanner. Also any powers or abilities they have yet to discover I wish for them to uncover. If you need money or any form of payment just let me know and I will get it to you." I said as he smiled.

"Don't worry about the cost I will do it for free since you have done so much for me in the past. Like it or not the devil does keep his word and remember favors. As a matter of fact if you want I will take a look at you again if you wish." He said as I shrugged.

"I don't see why not." I said as he nodded.

"Okay then it is settled I will perform it all on you if you so wish." He said as we all nodded even Zoe and Artemis.

"Well then first I am going to need you all to close your eyes. But first I need your names." He said to the three as they nodded.

"I am King Arthur son of Ares." The man said as Artemis looked surprised as did Zoe as he took off his hood revealing man that looked like a demigod I used to know that went by the name of Luke. Just he was a much older version at 45. After him we went to the middle one who appeared to be a women.

"I am Joan De Arc daughter of Nike." Said the female as she removed her hood revealing yet another head of blonde hair and her determined look on her face kind of made her look like Saber from Fate stay night. What? If you live as long as I have you learn that anime is a great thing.

"I am Nico De Angelo son of Hades. I must say it is 'good' to see you again Perseus." Said the now 27 year old Nico who was previously thought to have passed away during the titan war.

Leave a review and if you do I will be happy.
