Pranksters
Percy didn't stick around for long. "I need to return to the others." His excuse was almost as weak as he was at that point. Apollo had promptly left.
"Nuh uh, you're going to rest Mister Jackson." Artemis waved her finger in front of Percy's face. Percy pouted at how whipped he was. Artemis grinned and teleported the two of them over to Percy's tent. Inside it very much reflected the life he had led. Percy felt incredibly drained by the events that had happened to him and they all seemed to have finally decided to take their toll on his body in one go. He fell onto a couch that was somehow long enough for his entire body and wings to fit on. Percy lazily waved his hand and his armor disappeared. A moment passed before regular clothes rematerialized on his body where Artemis' eyes were just glued to his abs.
"Percy you look like your body has been carved out of marble." Artemis told him quietly. He had his face mostly covered but Artemis did catch sight of his cheeky grin. "Yeah? Take a picture, it'll last longer." He told her cheekily. She pouted before gently lying down on the couch and propping herself up in his arms as well. He automatically wrapped her in his arms before shifting his body slightly. A second later Artemis felt Percy's wings encircled the two of them. His feathers were soft and felt like silk, yet she knew first hand that they were almost indestructible. While Percy gently slept, Artemis started to absent mindedly touch the individual feathers of his wings. She hadn't really had the time to truly appreciate his natural beauty. Almost as if to testify his love for her Percy had returned and his entire suit of armor was now a magnificent shade of silver that glowed warningly. It had only been forty five minutes when Percy stirred.
"I really need to return to my friends now Artemis." Percy said sternly. She pouted her disagreement but there was no stopping that man.
"Truth be told I only let you force me to rest so that I could spend time with you." Percy told her with one of his heart melting smiles. She blushed slightly and Percy grinned when he noticed it.
"What are you smiling at?" She asked with fake hostility. He straightened up, "Oh you know, just thinking about all of the ways that I could make you blush so much harder than that." He responded without missing a beat. Her mouth formed an 'O' in surprise before composing herself.
"Some of them I can't follow through with because of a certain few oaths but I can certainly tease you." Percy grinned evilly as he covered the distance gracefully with incredible speed. One arm went through the middle of Artemis' knees and the next moment she was held aloft against the wall of Percy's tent.
"Percy?" Artemis asked with her completely hitched breath. The distance between them was practically non existent. She was forced to hold him by the back of the neck and just so happened to have a hand on his abs at the same time, feeling the muscle that was as strong as steel.
"Feeling teased Artemis?" The glint in his eye told Artemis that despite how much she wanted him to just take her then and there, he had already thought about the repercussions of that, and would never risk her losing her hunters.
"Percy." Artemis moaned slightly. She didn't even bother to try and recover her slip of surprise.
"I'm taking that as a yes." Percy replied. He took his arm away from her, but not before 'accidentally brushing his hand across her inner thigh.
"I have to go now. I love you Artemis." His mood changed so fast that Aeolus would have been proud. He kissed her on the lips before flashing away.
Artemis slowly turned her head to look at the mirror, Percy's antics had left her crimson in the face and her heart was thumping fast in her rapidly rising and falling chest.
"Oh my Gods." Was all Artemis could utter before her legs betrayed her completely and she slid down the wall. She couldn't let him get away with that, not after exciting her so much.
Waving her hand she caused a small vaporous cloud to appear, "Iris, show my Perseus Jackson." She started fanning her face while the rainbow goddess worked away.
"I am sorry Lady Artemis but he has explicitly expressed his desire not to be disturbed." Iris responded.
"What?"
"Is there anyone else I could get for you?" Iris was as calm as ever, clearly used to dealing with Gods and their daily affairs. (Not the adultery kind)
"Luke Castellan." A few more moments passed before Artemis saw the only other man that she actually had respect for. She quickly shifted her appearance before he noticed the Iris message.
"Luke." She prompted.
"Huh? Oh, Lady Diana, what can I do for you?" He bowed.
"Where is Percy? It's... Important." She tried her best to mask her words. He WOULD come back and either apologize or, or finish the job!
"Lady Diana, he hasn't returned to us since he left for Tartarus. He HAS returned since then hasn't he?" Luke's worry for her lover was endearing. She knew that Percy wouldn't just find a friendship this strong with anyone. She knew that the only other person Percy was this close to aside from herself, was Thalia.
"Yes, he returned from Tartarus safely Luke do not worry, he just left me moments ago but we we're not quite finished conversing. I wish for him to return, it was just that he told me he was coming back to you before you entered Alaska. Which, how far are you?" Artemis' changed the subject with expert efficiency.
"I see. No, we haven't heard from him yet. And we've managed to get a ride with Hazel's swearing horse. We're only a few miles outside of Alaska now. He wandered off because he was hungry. Funny how that works. If I find Percy before you do I will tell him that you want him to come back Lady Diana." Luke promptly bowed again and swept his hand through the mist.
"Where are you Percy?" Artemis cursed him, flashing to Olympus. If he was anywhere other than with her or the quest, then she knew he would be with one of her idiot brothers, doing idiot things.
Line Break
Hermes giggled like an idiot.
"You know that if we're caught, dad will throw us into Tartarus?" Apollo grinned.
"Correction, he'll throw you two into Tartarus. He won't lay a finger on me, diplomatic immunity bitch." Percy retorted happily as he put the finishing touches on the magical item he'd been intensely crafting for the past five minutes.
"It's going to be so worth it. Hades will be so pissed off, he hates that film to begin with." Hermes laughed out loud again. Percy picked up the finished product, a marker pen.
"Let's go lads, we've got work to do." Percy flashed out first, being shrouded in the shadow powers of Nyx herself he was the one to also mark the thrones. One by one, starting with Zeus he pressed the marker against the seat of the thrones. No ink came out but the magic was there. He proceeded to do it to Poseidon's throne and Hades' thrones respectively.
"It's done, call a meeting Hermes, me and Apollo will flash in after everyone else." Percy was smiling like an idiot. Apollo quickly took Percy by the shoulder and flashed to his palace. A few seconds later and the trouble had already begun.
"What is the meaning of this meeting Hermes, and why is the Norse here?" Zeus asked. A very faint glow was starting to rise off of his throne.
"I happened to be with Apollo when you requested us Lord Zeus." Percy bowed.
"Well then if you're to be present stand by Artemis. You're a member of her hunt are you not?" Zeus asked, already aggravated by the seemingly pointless meeting.
Percy made his way over to Artemis wish a very stoic and calm face on show.
'What have you done?' She asked him immediately in his mind.
'I don't know what you're talking about.'
'WHAT have you done?' She only become more persistent.
'Nothing I-'
"WHO DARES TO DEFILE MY THRONE?" Zeus bellowed. The glow had built up from his throne and covered the God completely, actively changing his appearance to be more in line with that of the Disney's imagining of the king of the Gods.
"Brother you look hilarious with that blocky beard!" Poseidon chuckled.
"Uncle, you're very similar to father." Artemis pointed out. Aphrodite summoned a mirror. A fish, Poseidon looked like a fish. Blue skin and instead of hair he had fins running down his back.
"What? I've done this willingly before." Poseidon shrugged, easily becoming the coolest god there was.
"Oh Hades, look at HADES!" Apollo screeched in hysterics. Yes, Hades was literally the spitting image of the Disney Hades.
Hades violently snatched the mirror from Poseidon's hands and there it was, gloomy grey skin with a blockade of blue fire dancing on top of his head.
"I will throw you jokers into the pit myself, I will-" Hades started to shout as he stood menacingly from his throne. Percy's wings did that thing were they disobeyed reason and got Percy in trouble. They doused the flames of Hades' head.
"Woah is my hair out?" Hades asked, the line was word for word and immediately, Apollo, Hermes and Percy all fell to the floor in a fit of laughter.
"Well, it seems that we've found the jokers in question. Time to punish." Poseidon stood with a grin.
"Uh oh. Right, I'm needed in Alaska, see you later guys, the magic will wear off in about twenty minutes, k thanks bye." Percy laughed as he bolted to the middle of the throne room and flashed away, narrowly avoiding a triage of high pressure sea water, viscous shadows whipping at his ankles and a lightning bolt that became erratic at the exact moment that it got anywhere near him. There was an awkward moment of silence between the Gods.
"See, this is what happens when a demi-god gets given that much power. No respect." Hades grunted as his hair caught light once again.
