"What about you?!" Percy shouted.
"I'm sure I would angry as well," Poseidon shouted as he kept Zeus down in a nelson lock, "but this is what you get for dating a daughter of Zeus! I told you so!"
"Let go of me Poseidon!" Zeus roared, "I'll shove a lightning bolt so far up his ass he'll spit lighting!"
Percy gulped as Thalia, Artemis and Hermes stood before him blocking Zeus's view.
"Get away from him!" Zeus roared, "I'm going to blast that son of a bitch to kingdom come!"
"Dad no!" Thalia shouted, "you will not harm Percy!"
"Honestly Zeus," Hera crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, "don't you think that you're overreacting a bit?"
"Overreacting?!" Zeus roared out, "I am doing anything but! I will not let a son of Poseidon date my daughter!"
"And what's wrong with Percy being a son of Poseidon?" Poseidon asked letting go his brother and glaring at him.
Zeus gulped, "n-nothing! It's just that our children have never gotten along. I don't want them to hurt each other when this fails."
"Excuse me?" Percy asked crossing his arms, "why do you think we can't get along?"
"Yeah," Thalia narrowed her eyes, "we got along fine during this quest. In fact it was us working together that brought both the camps together."
"Well that....wait," Zeus narrowed his eyes, "you two shared a boat didn't you....you went on a cruise for three days......alone.....with no adult supervision."
Percy and Thalia blushed. "Shut up dad!" Thalia yelled as she blushed, "and-nothing like that happened!" Percy raised an eyebrow, 'well....not all the way.'
"But you were alone!" Zeus said as he turned to Percy, "did you defile my daughter Jackson?!"
Artemis looked at Percy with a raised eyebrow. "What?! NO!" Percy yelled out, "I would never do that!" 'well kind off....'
"Well never say never," Hermes muttered.
"Shut up!" Everyone involved turned and yelled at the messenger god causing him to caring.
"Thalia," Zeus said drawing attention back to him, "how long has this been going on?"
Percy and Thalia shared a look before the demigoddess spoke up, "we started dating just before you guys sent us on the quest....but we have been fighting our feelings for each other longer than that."
Zeus gritted his teeth as he turned to Percy, "I'm going to kill you! You not only seduced my daughter, but turned her into this-this girlish mess! She was a warrior before! Look what you have done!"
Zeus looked like she was ready to smack Percy with a lighting bolt when Thalia stepped in front of Percy.
"Enough!" Thalia roared as she summoned a gale of wind blasting Zeus backward, "Percy doesn't make me feel weak! He makes me feel safe!"
Zeus looked at Thalia with wonder, "was that-Thalia did you just-"
"-Control the wind? Yeah I did," Thalia then began floating up using the wind to support her, "and do you know why I can finally do this? It's because of Percy. He helped me get over...get over my fear of heights."
Zeus blinked, "you were scared of heights?"
Thalia chuckled darkly, "yes, surprising right Zeus?" Thalia spat the name, "your own daughter, afraid of heights, what would people say."
"Well they would say your were a coward," Ares muttered under his breath but everyone in the room heard him.
Thalia looked hurt as she lowered her head in shame. Zeus noticed this and turned to his Godly son, "enough Ares-"
"Shut the fuck up you piece of gutter trash," Percy's voice was laced with bloodlust as it cut into Zeus's words. The room turned to Percy and saw his eyes flash red for the briefest moment as a wave of anger filled the room.
"Hm," Ares huffed with a grin, "guess you really did get stronger kid. I'm impressed, with that much bloodlust, you might just be able to make a Satyr wet himself."
Percy narrowed his eyes, "apologize of Thalia. Now."
Ares growled, "and why should I?"
Percy made to move forward but Poseidon spoke up, "no Percy. Don't do it."
Percy turned to his father, "but he-"
"-Don't waste your energy on the likes of Ares," Poseidon advised Percy, "he isn't worth it."
Ares chuckled, "what your old man means is, you aren't powerful enough to take me on."
Percy growled but Poseidon then stepped in. The God of the Sea nodded, "true, he isn't, yet. But you see Ares," Poseidon then unleashed what Percy could only describe as the full fury of the Sea. It was for only a few seconds, as Poseidon spoke up, "I am plenty powerful enough to take you on."
Ares played, "b-but-"
"-No buts!" Poseidon said turning off what Percy could only assume was Poseidon's Haki, "apologize to Thalia now."
Ares wanted to argue but knew he had no case. He turned to Thalia, "I'm sorry Grace."
Zeus and Poseidon seemed satisfied as the god of the sky turned to his daughter who was still floating in the air. Percy turned away as well, but not before sending a final glare towards Ares.
"Thalia," Zeus spoke in a gentle tone, "why didn't you ever tell me?"
"Because you are the reason I was afraid," Thalia spat back.
"Me?" Zeus said in surprise.
Thalia nodded, "these are your powers, your domain. And I was afraid like you did they too would abandon me. That they would fail me when I needed them the most. That I would fly high in the sky, but suddenly they would disappear and like Icarus I would fall down to my death."
Zeus looked horrified. He was still her father, despite his flaws, and knowing that he was the one who caused his child great fear pained him to hear. Zeus shrunk down to human size as he looked at Thalia, "Thalia these powers are yours. They may come from me, but they are yours to command."
Thalia nodded, "I know that now. But do you know how I know that father? It's because when we fought Alcyoneus Percy almost fell to his death. Without a second thought I dived down after him. I pushed my doubt and fear aside for him. Not you, him. I love him."
Percy felt something hit his heart. It felt like an arrow hit him, was this what people meant by an arrow of love? The moment Thalia said those words Percy felt like he was the one who could fly. Percy didn't feel anything except amazement and happiness. 'She loves me. She really loves me.'
"And I hate you," Thalia continued, "I hate that I'm related to you. I hate that you made me doubt myself. I hate that because of you I have an expiration date set for 5 months from now! I hate that you came back and I hate that you left! I hate that you made me feel powerless and like a freak! I hate that because of you I had to admit I love Percy to save his life! I have never even got a chance to say it to him, but now I am forced to. I hate you! I HATE YOU!"
Thalia's eyes were filled with rage, pure unfiltered rage. Percy could almost feel the power her anger gave her. If he didn't know better he would say that Thalia had just accessed the emotional spectrum of the Red.
Zeus looked beaten. Every time Thalia said that she hated him cause a little bit of himself to die. He looked to the ground unable to meet his daughter's eyes.
"I'm done," Thalia spat out, "I'm going home, my real home."
Thalia turned and walked out of the throne room. Percy stayed in his position as he spoke up, "she doesn't mean most of that. She does love you. She's just angry."
"Get out Jackson," Zeus growled, "get out before I give my daughter one more reason to hate me."
Percy sighed, "she doesn't hate you Zeus, no matter what she says, she just can't bring herself to do that. If you want her forgiveness then just talk to her, like my dad does for me." Zeus looked at Percy but said nothing, "you can still be the dad she needs. It's not too late."
Zeus narrowed his eyes and Percy took that as he que to leave. The Son of poseidon turned and walked away allowing the rest of the Gods to finally relax.
"If it's any consolation she really does love him," Aphrodite spoke up from her throne. She was still applying her make up acting as if she wasn't the cause of all this drama, "plus Percy's right, she still does love you."
"Get out," Zeus roared, "all of you, get out!"
The Gods all flashed away leaving Zeus alone with Poseidon. The God of the Skies grumbled, "I meant everyone Poseidon, that includes you."
"I know brother," Poseidon said as he put a hand on Zeus back, "but I am not here as your subject, but as your brother."
"I have failed spectacularly," Zeus said as he sat down on the steps next to the hearth, "my daughter hates me. And she has every right to."
"Why are you so protective of her?" Hestia asked, "you have always trusted her judgment, why question it now?"
Zeus sighed, "when it comes to the matters of the heart I find it is best to always hide your cards. Love is deadly to all, don't tell Aphrodite this, but sometimes I am glad the goddess is such a bimbo, it makes it easier to control her."
Poseidon sighed as he sat down next to his brother and sister, "love can be manipulated brother, that is true. But it can't be created where there is none, nor can it be destroyed. Believe me, I know." Poseidon looked into the flames as his eyes slowly turned older and older. The usual excitement in them faded as the God remembered sadder times.
"Will he treat her right?" Zeus asked his brother.
"I cannot make any promises Zeus, after all anything that can happen may happen," Poseidon said with a sigh, "but I do know one thing, Percy will treat her right. His fatal flaw after all is his love for family and loyalty to his friends."
Zeus sighed as all three siblings sat and watched the fires burn for minutes on end. Finally Zeus spoke up, "fine. Let them date. But I swear Poseidon if your son does anything to my daughter-"
"-Relax brother," Poseidon patted Zeus on the back, "chances are Thalia would kill Percy far before you get your hands on him."
Zeus chuckled, "that is true."
With Thalia and Percy;
Percy ran out of the throne room after Thalia. The girl of lighting was angrier than ever before as she walked down the steps of Mount Olympus.
"Thalia wait up!" Percy called as he zoomed to her side. Percy held her shoulder, "are you okay?"
Thalia stopped and snapped her head towards Percy. She looked angry, but Percy knew it wasn't directed at him.
"I hate him," Thalia roared as the smell of ozone intensified, "I hate him! I hate him! I hate him!"
Percy pulled her into a hug as he held the girl tightly. Thalia struggled but Percy grip was to strong. Eventually she gave up as she rested her head on his shoulder with tears coming out of her eyes.
"I'm sorry you had to deal with this Thalia," Percy told her, "but it's okay, everything will be alright."
Thalia sniffed, "I-I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I-I just didn't want him to hurt you."
Percy smiled as he kissed her forehead, "find out what? I don't know what your talking about."
Thalia blinked, "you know....the fact that I-"
"-Oh you mean how you told your dad to back off or else you'll kick his ass? Yeah I totally remember that," Percy said with a smile, "I don't remember anything else."
Thalia blinked in confusion before realisation dawned on her. Percy was pretending to have not heard her confession, but why? "Percy why-"
"-Tell me when you want to tell me," Percy told her with a smile, "until then I'll be waiting."
Thalia blinked before smiling at him. She grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him into a kiss. Percy was shocked Thalia was doing this. They were in the middle of mount Olympus, everyone was looking at them right now, but the daughter of lighting didn't seem to care.
Percy let his worry go as he wrapped his hands around Thalia pulling her closer. They stayed like that for sometime, the world around them forgotten when something broke their concentration.
"Damn that's hot," Percy and Thalia stopped and turned to the voice and saw Apollo and Artemis there. Apollo was grinning like an idiot while Artemis had a heavy frown on her face directed at broher.
Percy was starting to get nervous, "ah...hi?"
"Thalia," Artemis spoke in a cold tone, "may we speak? That is if your....boyfriend doesn't mind."
Percy gulped as Thalia and him separated, "ah, yeah sure. Knock yourself out."
Artemis nodded at Percy as the two daughters of Zeus walked far away leaving Percy with Apollo. Percy sighed, 'this is not going to end well for me. I just know it.'
"You know Percy," Apollo said in his cocky tone of voice, "you must be one hell of a kisser based on how Thalia was acting. Girl looked like she was about to jump your bones this very second."
Percy glared at the God. Percy didn't really like him, everything about the God pissed Percy off. Percy huffed, "don't talk about Thalia like that."
Apollo shrugged, "technically she's my sister so-"
"-That doesn't make it any better dude. If anything it just makes it worse," Percy said crossing his arms, he hated Apollo, the prick had cursed Percy for no reason at all and he was still high on Percy's shit list, which by the way got a big update;
Percy's shit list;
Kronos
Hyperion
Apollo
Ares
The Minotaur
Mr Kenny (5th grade science teacher, I still haven't forgotten about you asshole!)
"Look I don't know what your problem is Percy but I have been nothing but nice to you!" Apollo yelled out, "hell I have been more than nice! So what the fuck is your problem?!"
Percy eyebrow twitched, "nothing....just drop it."
"No, I want to know what your problem is!" Apollo grabbed Percy by the collar and lifted him up, "even inside the throne room, you were glaring at with enough bloodlust to kill a animal!"
Percy growled as he released his bloodlust again, "believe me Apollo, you haven't seen anything yet."
Apollo growled as well, "you think you're the only one who can do that trick?"
"Don't embarrass yourself, I have fought a Giant, and believe me you are nothing compared to him," Percy flicked his wrist and drew out Waverider with his mind as he enlarged the blade sticking it under Apollo's throat, "now let go of me."
Apollo looked at the weapon slowly let go of Percy stepping away.
Percy nodded as he put away his weapon, "and if you must know I didn't appreciate the way you acted with Thalia."
Apollo blinked as he smiled, "ah I see, over protective boyfriend. Well you know that's a turnoff for most girls right? Like if you tell her to not talk to other men she might hate you for it. Might even leave if you if your pressure her to much."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "really? So you suggest I just let you flirt with her and stand back doing nothing because....?"
Apollo smirked, "well you have to trust that she won't leave you."
"How many women have you fucked by sprouting that line to their boyfriends?"
