Chapter 8
"Sorry kid there's no such floor- Perseus Jackson?!"
Percy crossed his arms "Yup" he said popping the 'P'
"I thought by now you would recognize my voice, Tim? And what did I say about my full name?"
"That it's Percy Fury-Jackson uh no Jackson-Fury.... Oh right! 600th floor! I- I- uh" The man fumbled around with something and then gave the demigod who had an amused face accepted the card.
"Well, see you later Tim!" Percy waved and walked away.
Percy walked past the luxurious hallway to where he knew the Olympian gods were talking with the Norse gods. Annabeth did such a good job with the architecture it was more beautiful than the original and he admired his girlfriend's proud work. Some of the satyrs and nymphs waved as he passed and he waved back.
Entering the room he was met with the loud voice of Zeus.
"-We have no reason to continue this treaty!" he boomed angrily
Thor looked constipate. With the help of Ares, Zeus announced what deeds Thor and his brother did on Earth or Midgard depending on whom you ask.
Poseidon noticed his demigod child entering the room and he straightened his back as he sat on his throne and brightened up from his former neutral bored expression. Athena noticed this and ticked but didn't otherwise give a negative response to Percy's entrance.
Percy waved to Hestia and Hades whom the latter frowned- but that was his default face so Percy didn't think much of it. Hestia gave a smile to Percy as she tended the Hearth.
"Lord Zeus" Percy interrupted his whining- Eh hem, glorious speech worthy of a drama queen- uh- king (crab).
Percy bowed as he listens to the same whining of Zeus and the disrespect of demigods.
Percy glanced at the two Norse gods.
Thor still looked like a lost sheep and was starting to get offended at Zeus' mention of his Master Bolt and Thors powers by the way he was griping on Mjolnir tightly. Percy recalled that from the SHIELD report that Thor similarly was like Ares- arrogant, war-hungry- and after his banishment, he suddenly became a better person. Percy doubted the report a bit and took it in with a large pinch of salt considering how Ares is and no one can change that quickly usually (Though Percy liked the dude now that he talked to him). As if sensing the half-blood thinking about him Ares gave a nasty snarl to Percy.
Percy then took his eyes on Loki. Percy will never understand why the gods wanted to take care of things this fast, they didn't even give the two Norse gods time to recover especially Loki who was literally brainwashed. Loki had a blank face, and Percy couldn't even imagine what Loki was feeling about the whole situation.
"If I may, Lord Zeus may I speak about the recent events in my perspective?"
"How dare you-"
"Father, let the boy speak. Maybe he can explain just why we should let this incident slide?" Athena said her gray eyes intensely staring at him
Percy gave a slight nod to the goddess to thank her for stopping Zeus from proving once again how much of a baby he is.
"Lord Zeus, you see sir, Prince Loki was not doing this out of his own free will he was controlled and thus he began attacking Manhattan"
"Yes yes I know that already tell us something that these Norse gods have not told us already," he said it with slight scorn in his voice when he said the word 'gods
"And what if these Norse are lying to us what then how can we trust these-these gods when we had no other contact from Odin in millennia! He one-sidedly stopped the treaty and then suddenly he banishes his son to Earth and his other son attacks Earth?"
"Don't forget that Olympus is here now! What if they wanted to attack us and they are lying?" Ares said
Thor spoke up raged " The Allfather had not stopped the treaty of peace, but it was you Greeks who first-"
Percy quickly interrupted Thor as so not he would insult the Greek gods in their own house. Loki quickly elbowed Thor real hard with nobody noticing. Thor winced but stayed put, years of handling ambassadors from different realms had not faded their teamwork from their fallout.
" I have some solid evidence from the organization that I am part of. They have solid evidence of mind control. Lady Athena if you may help me show this evidence?" Percy asked looking toward her
Athena gave a sharp inspecting look at the demigod she nodded once sharply and the USB that was in Perseus his hand- which Nick Fury directly or indirectly somehow gave to his son, with the help of Hermes the USB opened to something similar to the IM message or Tony's hologram if you need to. The Olympians read and saw the reasons, the diagnosis, the systems, how the banishment worked, and about the brainwashing and showed the examples. A whole lot of stuff to read. Yay.
Percy pulled out a paper copy of the peace treaty that one of the nymphs gave him when Percy asked them after they told him about his job and the screen just so happens to show the same part as he turns the pages.
"Since back in the day of the wars that Odin Allfather lead and the prosperous days of the Greek gods it is written in the Treaty that the Norse can enter Midgard in their own terms as long as they had fair trade. Such value of the fair trade differed such as if it was equal to cattle, drachma, and godly good like Nectar-" Thor was staring at the copy of the treaty with a weird face. Loki recognized that face as Thor's. I didn't pay attention to my study's but that knowledge or lacktheroff is getting us killed face. Thor made this face every time they fought something.
"-The Norse were free to enter and leave as they please. On the matter of Thor's banishment while he did not have any powers he is still the prince of Asgard and the heir to the throne. Simply put he is still a Norse God when he was put into punishment and entered Earth or Midgard" Percy said. Percy moved on to Loki's case after seeing the reactions of the Twelve Olympians.
"-according to what Lord Zeus said in the treaty and I quote "If an enemy from which the Norse had brought into the Earth, the Norse will solve that problem with no other help from the Greeks as it is their own problem and their fault that they brought this fight into Earth." End quote"
The treaty was official in every way. Percy with help from his friends and family researched the treaty and the words said. Annabeth and his Dad helped so much during the whole process. Hazel even got Lady Iris and Hecate to help with what the gods said during that time. All the scrips written back then were hard to read.
Zeus turned red as Percy kept on talking.
Poseidon was impressed, Athena too though she didn't show it. Hestia's flame was warm big and bright showing her mood. While counting all twelve Olympians will take too long it was obvious that Dionysus was sleeping.
"And if the Norse bring their fights onto Earth they will pay in a fair equal amount on what is agreed for each of both parties. According to that part of the treaty then you can say that since Loki brought the Chitauri onto earth even though he was mind-controlled, he is a Norse god and since The Avengers which include Thor who is a Norse god defeated the Chitauri, solved the problem they brought to Earth by themselves. So I think that we should now talk about how the Norse should compensate for bringing war onto Earth or Midgard" Percy finished with a grin.
Aries had decided to speak up for himself and spoke with glee in his voice "Then since the punk is Greek that means that the Greek helped the Norse and that means that they went against the treaty!" Percy was surprised that Ares had paid attention at all nonetheless had enough brain cells to make up that connection. Zeus looked triumphant. He with his sharp black suit tried to take authority with a booming voice and-
"Well technically well even though the word Greeks does include demigods it is heavily implied or I think it is- actually it is that it is only the Greek gods that cannot (more like will not) help the Norse gods. As demigods cannot and I quote "use our godly form of magnificent glorious power to help with the mortaly-ish kind of problems the Norse bring" end quote" Percy said looking at Ares with a mischievous glint in his eye "It means that demigods can choose to help defend their home however they want." (Percy decided to not mention that the Romans are not part of the treaty in the first place so they could still help with fighting anyway )
It was with that final answer that the whole treaty or war thing was dissolved. It didn't mean that it was all swell and done though. The matter of Loki's punishment was still a thing that they had to discuss. Naturally, Percy decided to open his ADHD mouth with no real thought which also gave the reasoning that since it had been thousands of years since the treaty has been made and the words were written were different in need as to the current century Percy suggested that they re-write the treaty to once again to their both of their advantages. It was totally an accident that they forgot to talk about Loki's punishment and how Percy basically ignores the whole unspoken rule of not showing demigod powers to mortals. Hazel's hard work was that the mist was strong enough to only cover the Mythology related powers and people.
By the end of the day, Percy had a nice bonding moment with his father about idiotic council people and why Nick hated the awful meetings. Percy will always respect his father more now- seriously a Nuke at Manhattan Percy huffed.
Soon Percy passed out on his bed. Nick Fury had a proud loving smile on his face as he turned off the light of Percy's room, leaving Percy to the hand of Morpheus.
