"Wait where's Perseus's daughter Zoe" Zeus asked annoyed that he doesn't know who the mother is.

"Oh she asked us where Sally was" Percy said

"because she wanted blue cookies" Perseus finished for his other self, which freaked out everyone including the Stolls, who went on to tell them to stop stealing their thing.

6 years have passed since Percy saw Jason and Piper Grace and since then he has become very wealthy.

"Do we still hate rich snobby people" Percy asked his other self

"Yes, yes we do...mainly because of the snobby part, and they are intrusive as to how I acquired my wealth" Perseus replied

His job as an assassin and being a single father made his life a little more than exciting. To Him, Zoë was both a blessing and a curse. 

'She's a blessing and only a blessing' Artemis and her hunters thought even though it was her daughter from a different universe she was still going to defend her.

She always kept him in the light and out of the dark. 

"and I still do" Zoe replied smiling, with a bunch of blue cookies in her hand. She was quickly stormed for the famous cookies that she held, and she started climbing up the throne room's walls to escape the demigods, where as her father followed her.

Nico was about to continue, but a small flash revealwed Sally with many more blue cookies, which distracted everyone, even the gods.

"Percy what did you do" Sally asked her son

"It wasn't me this time mom" both Percy's responded, which shocked Sally enough for the demigods to get in and steal all the cookies away.

"Well you see Sally, the fates got bored and decided to force us to read a story from a different universe" Poseidon explained adding on the major parts thus far, which took Sally by surprise, "So to figure out which Sally you are, what's your daughter's name"

"Estella, you know this Poseidon" Sally scolded, before noticing Zoe and Perseus above everyone, "I'm taking it the story is about you two then"

"Yeah mom" Perseus said, dropping to the ground with his daughter.

"yes grandma" Zoe replied shortly after her father, and stuffing her last blue cookie in her mouth. 

Sally looked like she was about to scold Perseus, for many thing, most likely the drinking and not remembering the conception of his daughter, but instead gestured for her granddaughter from another universe to come sit with her and Hestia, as Nico started reading again.

She was his light and as long as he had his daughter nothing would take him to the dark side. The reason why she's a curse is that every full moon she won't go to sleep. It's almost as if she gets energy from the full moon! Right now, Percy is picking Zoe up from school.

"Really Perseus" Sally and the other gods, besides Aphrodite, Zeus, Apollo, and Ares said

"I was drunk and don't spoil it for the others" Perseus replied

"Hey dad, " Zoe said running up to Percy, "how was your day?"

"Good and yours" both Percy's replied only to get slapped by Zoe and Annabeth respectively 

"it was pretty good," Percy replied with a smile, "well happy Birthday!"

All of the sudden Apollo, Hermes and the Stolls shouted, "Happy Birthday Zoe"before an arrow was flying at each of them.

"It's not birthday today dammit" Zoe said, putting her bow away as the four arrows hit their mark in the gods groins and the demigods arms. And her grandmother gave her a disapproving look, for actually hitting them with the arrows.

"Am I going to begin my training today?" Zoe asked when she entered the car.

Percy nodded and said, "Yes, but not until tonight ZD"

"Don't call me that Dad," Zoe said, "will Grandma and Grandpa be coming over?"

"I sure hope I am, what kind of Grandmother would miss her granddaughter's birthday" Sally said, interrupting Nico

"Yes"

"What about aunt Thalia and Uncle Nico?"

"I haven't spoken to them in over 7 years Zoe" Percy replied, "they don't even know I'm alive"

"Perseus Jackson get your but over here right now" Thalia Yelled

Nico was just glaring at Perseus.

"Look I know I messed up, but I was more concerned with keeping my daughter alive and well"

"I would have known if you died idiot, I'm a child of Hades" Nico said

"honestly skipped my mind at the time little cuz" Perseus said , keeping a careful eye on his cousins, who appear to be very similar to the ones of his own universe.

"What about your father?"  Zoe asked, "Does Grandpa Poseidon know that you are still alive?" 

"Perseus the Answer better be yes or you're grounded" Poseidon said

"You don't have the power or right to ground me" Perseus replied

"Fine then Percy will be grounded"

"Hey leave me out of this I did nothing wrong" Percy shouted at his father, who didn't look like he would budge on the subject.

"No one from, my past, other than uncle Jason and Aunt Piper, knows that I'm alive Z," Percy told his daughter, "We've been able to hide from my past and its inhabitants. I want to keep it that way until you're 12, when you're ready to go to camp"

"Percy you're grounded" Poseidon said, and Percy sighed getting extremely tired with his father's antics very quickly.

"by inhabitants do you mean" Athena started asking but was interrupted by Perseus

"Monsters, Gods, Titans, Giants, Primordials, and whatever other screwed up thing in what mortals call Greek Mythology, and Roman Mythology too" Perseus said

"You don't want to see her again do you?" Zoe asked her father as they stoped in front of their place.

"Dam right I don't Zoe" Perseus said

"I still need my dam t-shirt" Thalia said

"I could go for some dam french fries though" Percy responded

"at the dam snack bar" Zoe questioned, only to get a questioning glare from Percy and Thalia, before all four started cracking up laughing.

"I don't get, what's so funny about this" Hermes said

"That's what she said" The four responded in laughter, before sobering up and starting to look sad and upset 

"You are correct Zoe," Percy replied, "she broke my heart and went off to live in Greece where all of our worst memories are held"

"Annabeth, darling, you aren't going to do that right" Sally asked, concerned for her son's future.

"No, not even work on the Athena Parthenon, would get me to go back to Athens" Annabeth said, quite plainly, but you could tell she meant it, which caused her mother to be upset as she was losing ideas on how to separate her daughter from the sea scum's spawn.

"Do you know why she did what she did?" Zoe asked

"That's something I would like to know as well" Sally and Annabeth said

"You never told me why, exactly and always came up with an excuse, but it was likely your damned hubris, which you seem to have much better control over in this universe" Perseus responded

"No I don't," Percy replied, "now out of the car. We need to get ready for your party."

"wait did someone say party" Dionysus asked, waking up from his nap, only to be knocked out by Athena swing her spear like a baseball bat at his head

"What" she asked, "we all know it will be easier with him being asleep" to which no one countered the wisdom goddess.

When they entered the house, Percy turned on the lights and Sally, Paul, and their 10 Year old daughter Andromeda, Jason and Piper as well as their 6 year old son Perseus jumped out from their hiding places and shouted, "Surprise!"

"Ohhhhh a surprise party I like those" Apollo said bouncing around like a little kid on a sugar rush

"Perseus what happened to Estella" Sally questioned

"Well you and paul never had a child until Andromeda in my universe" Perseus explained, which caused Sally to get some relief knowing that she hasn't lost a kid.

"Happy birthday Zoe," Percy said as he handed her a pen, "take this. It's a powerful weapon. One that helped me in the past."

Zoe took the pen and whispered, "Anaklusmos. Riptide, butt dad this is yours. I can't take it"

"You gave up riptide" Percy and many others said at once

"to my daughter" Perseus defended, "Plus it's probably what her namesake would have wanted" at Perseus's addition most of the hunt nodded in agreement, knowing that Zoë would trade Percy in for Zoe at a moments notice.

"Yes you can Zoe," Percy told her, "that sword once was your namesake. A greater hero than I. Do you remember her name?" 

"Zoe Nightshade," his daughter replied.

"Who's Zoe Nightshade"Zeus asked only to receive glares from his daughter, her followers, both Percy's, Zoe, Annabeth, and Sally, though the last never knew the girl herself, but she knew she was important and a good friend to her son, and niece Thalia.

"She was my lieutenant for over a thousand years father, before she died by her father's hand trying to save me, because I had to get proof that the titans were rising again because you refused to believe it" Artemis scolded, probably being just about ready to kill him for it.

"And you are also forgetting that my son took the weight of the sky from your daughter so that she and her lieutenant could fight her lieutenant's father, and that's not even mentioning the theft of your bolt and Hades's helm, or the poisoning of Thalia's tree, which should have been more than enough evidence for your father's attempt to rise" Sally said, in such away that no one knew if she was about to try and kill Zeus for his stupidity back then.

Zeus wisely sunk deeper into his throne.

"Yes," Percy said, "that sword was her's, then it was mine, now I'm giving it to you."

His family and friends all stared wide eyed at Percy who then said, "besides, Hestia gave me a a little something after the war and I promised that I'd never bring it out until it was time." 

Percy then brought out an Imperial Gold pen and uncapped it. From it sprang forth a steel and imperial gold sword that had the name Maelstrom engraved on the hilt.

"This is the sword that I'm keeping," Percy said, "meet Maelstrom or as the Olympians once knew it as... Kronos's Scythe."

"You have got to be kidding me" Zeus said

"Not kidding" Perseus said drawing his sword just to prove the point.

"When did you get that?" Jason asked

"After the giant war," Percy replied, "Kronos appeared to me in a dream saying that I was worthy of this sword and when I awoke it was on my bed stand."

"Traitor" Zeus yelled summoning his master bolt to strike at both Percy's

"Sit down little brother" Poseidon said summoning his trident and using it to force the master bolt into the ground

"He's a traitor, Kronos said he's the only one worthy of his blade" Zeus defended his actions trying to maneuver his bolt out of the prongs of Poseidon's trident.

"worthiness to wield a weapon is completely different from loyalty dumb-ass" Perseus said from behind Zeus, moving his sword to the gods throat, "now this will end in one of two ways, the first you either come to your senses and take a seat and everyone puts their weapons away, or you die. The choice is yours Zeus" Perseus stated blatantly making it clearly evident that there was no other options for the king of the gods, who took the first option.

Percy then recapped his sword and put it in his pocket.

"Riptide is now yours Zoe," Percy said, "use it well."

"I will dad," Zoe replied as a necklace appeared around her neck, "what is this?"

"It looks like a necklace," Piper said, "try pulling on the bow and arrow symbol."

Zoe did and a bow appeared in her hands. The bow was a sea green color with silver highlights on it.

"Whoa," Percy said looking at the bow, "χάντρες. Huntress."

A letter then Appeared in Zoe's left hand and it said, "Pull back on the string and an arrow will materialize on the bow. From, Apollo."

"bullshit bullshit" Perseus and Zoe coughed knowing now that it was from her mother, who told Apollo to give it to her.

"Guess we thank Apollo for the bow," Percy said smiling before making a target out of ice, "let's see how you do."

Zoe then pulled back on the bow and an arrow materialized. She then released and got a bullseyes on the first try.

"really Perseus" The remaining demigods said, as the four gods that haven't figured it out were still clueless as to who Zoe's mother is

"Yes, I was drunk and don't remember, but still don't ruin the fun for the last four who haven't figured it out" Perseus said enjoying the shock looks from those that figured it out recently still.

Everyone gaped and Jason asked, "Are you sure she's your kid?"

Everyone laughed while Percy glared at him.

"I swear on Chaos that Zoe Diana Jackson is my daughter Grace," Percy said seriously.

"How are you alive no one has ever sweared on the creators name and lived" Athena stated in shock

"that's probably because others are stupid enough to do it with doubt to their words, I had no doubt that Zoe is my daughter" Perseus responded

"Geez dad no need to be so serious," Zoe said, "but will anyone tell me how I managed to get a bullseye on my first try?"

"You might've gotten it from your mom, or you must've been blessed by Apollo when you were born," Percy said, "the only one that makes sense is the latter. The only goddess that I can think of off the top of my head that is able to get a bullseye on the first shot is Lady Artemis herself, but she's a maiden goddess." 

"Yes that must be the case" Zeus, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Ares all said together, much to the pleasure of Perseus and the others in the room.

Although Zoe knew it was impossible, she was hoping that Artemis was her mother. From the story of her father's life, Artemis was her favorite goddess. If only she knew...

"Can you explain my ranking" Hestia asked Zoe quietly as she knows that she's both Percy's, Nico's, Thalia's, and a few other demigod's favorite goddess.

"Well I think you know why auntie Hestia, but I also think that Artemis had a bigger impact on my dad's life" Zoe answered her, which Hestia accepted knowing that Artemis probably had more of an impact on Perseus's life than his own father.

Time skip to the next year

Zoe is now 8 years old and also about to be inducted into the Assassin Brotherhood. Percy and Zoe discovered she was as good with a sword as she was with a bow, much to Percy's enjoyment. She has gotten better with bow and is now able to hit a wasp from 500 feet away. Her swordsmanship is as good as her father's, she has even beaten him once or twice in the last year. According to Hera, a forbidden demigod was born 8 years ago, and she found the demigod. Percy told her to piss off.

"Yeah Piss off Hera" Perseus said, just to make a point of doing so

"wait she's been able to beat you at the age of 8" Artemis said shocked

"I might have let her win those times, but she can genuinely beat me now" Perseus responded and his daughter started glaring at him. 

"You let me win my first few times" She shouted at him

"Yes, I needed to keep you encouraged to keep improving, and working with the sword, plus you were becoming the only one worth sparing with as you started providing a challenge" He responded, but she just grumpily looked at him, upset that her win loss ratio against her father was skewed because he allowed her to win a few times.

"Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember..."

"Nothing is true," Zoe finished for her father

"Where other men are blinded by morality and law, remember..."

"Everything is permitted," Zoe finished.

Zoe stepped forwards and as her voice trembled with the intensity of which she spoke, said, "We work in the dark to serve the light." 

She then flipped her hood on, showing only her mouth as it stretched into a grin, "I am...an Assassin."

"Oh great she's inducted into some sort of cult just like you, Perseus" Apollo said

"Better than she being one of your sisters hunters who would shoot you for their own amusement" he defended his daughter, to which Apollo started keeping a careful eye at the smirking hunters, who looked like they were ready to do just that.

"Welcome to the Brotherhood my daughter, "Percy said walking up to her, "also I've decided that I can't keep running from my past. After all, the past always catches up sooner or later. I believe it's time for us to Return to New York City."

"But why now?" Zoe asked her father.

"Because now you can protect yourself and it'll give you a chance at meeting Aunt Thalia and my father," Percy told her, "and I was thinking that I might be able to find your mother there. What do you say?"

"When you come back we're going to fight aren't we" Thalia said

"Would we have it any other way" both Percy's responded, to which the three gave an unsettling smirk towards each other making the gods nervous

"I say...let's go," Zoe said

Percy nodded and took out his phone.

"Let me call someone real quick and we'll be on our way, " Percy said as Zoe nodded, "Hey Apollo? Yeah it's me, Percy Jackson. I need you to get me and Zoe a high rise Apartment. Yeah, We're coming home and tell Zeus that if he I'm attacked by monsters, I'll come to Olympus and kill him in front of everyone. Thanks, see ya soon."

"You will do no such thing" Zeus shouted at Perseus, "If I want to send monsters after you than I will do so"

"Ok but it's your death wish" Perseus replied shooting at Zeus, clipping his ear, "that was a warning by the way and just like your son knows, the next one is between the eyes"

Percy then hung up, turned to Zoe before saying, "Pack all you need. We're going home."

"well that's going to be interesting" Jason said

"It was for a while, but then it got boring until I took her to camp, that's where the real fun began" Perseus replied

"that's only because you started killing monsters, and other immortal things again, dad" Zoe said, "and are you forgetting the time when I shot that annoying fly with my bow in school"

"You did what" Athena and Annabeth screamed 

"shot a fly with a bow and arrow in the middle of class on greek mythology I think, or was it english" Zoe said, the last part more so to herself

Nico, however, secretly handed the book over to Thalia as he read ahead slightly, figuring she would want to be the one to read it.

The arguing of Perseus and Zoe versus Annabeth and Athena, kept going on about whether or not if it was appropriate to shoot a fly out of the air with a bow in the middle of class. Percy, and everyone else wisely stayed out of it.

It was about to boil over into a full out fight, but it was interrupted by a bright flash of light, revealing...
