Olympus' Biggest Mistake

Chapter 23

After the spar was finished and the agents cleared out, Percy felt a little awkward. Thankfully, he went with Natasha, Fury, and Tony to go answer their questions and ask for help.

Percy explained everything there was he needed to explain to them. The existence of the gods, the mythical world, even demigods. All three bombarded him with question after question and he answered as best as he could.

The downside, he could feel his fatal flaw continue to attack his body as he betrayed his friends and the gods. To Percy, it would all be worth it in the end.

After explaining everything he's been through and what was to come, Fury asked for proof. He also requested the young man go through an intense physical and a few tests.

Percy accepted but refused to have any DNA or blood taken from his person. Instead, Percy showcased all his abilities as the son of Poseidon and transformed into his wolf form 'Jack'.

A deep part of Natasha fell in love with fur-ball, but that would forever remain classified. Tony and Fury were mildly shocked with his abilities and all were impressed with his physical. The kid was like the 2.0 of the super soldier serum.

The difficult part for Percy was seeing the looks on their faces when he had to remove his shirt. Although the huntress constellation was now gone, the multitude of scars was still present.

Natasha couldn't help but gently trace over a scar when placing medical sensors on his body. She loves kids and it hurt her to know the stories of his early youth as a demigod were true. Demigod or not, wars or not, he didn't deserve the scars he earned.

Percy spent a week with Natasha and Tony in the newly built tower by Tony. With the billionaire's help, Percy built small wireless cameras that flew and were fed directly to Tony's main system. With Hapheastus' blessing he could tinker a bit, but Tony's detailed plans helped Percy. He wanted the cameras to be able to peer through the mist, so he used what manipulation over the mist he had to charm the machines. He had a plan and he was getting closer to it all coming to fruition.

Natasha grew close to the young man, she actually felt a small attraction to him but blew it off as simple admiration. Sure the kid impressed her and left an ever lasting impression, but he's still a kid. She found it hard to believe he would be 17 forever. Well, that is given he isn't fatally wounded.

They both didn't understand the whole partial immortality thing. The two just shrugged it off and accepted his words as facts and truths. Natasha, however, still felt mesmerized by his looks. Like Thalia, she came to adore the platinum hair, sharpened canines, and beautiful sea green eyes.

"It was nice being here and learning from you both, but I gotta head back now. My family misses me, and I also don't want to die." Percy bid farewell to the mortals.

"Stop by anytime kiddo."

"I will always be ready for a spar. Though, it's going to have to be no powers."

Percy laughed and gave Natasha a warm hug before shaking Tony's hand. He took a couple steps away before turning around to look at Tony.

"When the cameras go on I need you and Fury to do me a huge favor." Percy said with a serious tone.

"Sure kid, it'll be easy."

"I'll need you to directly broadcast it on every screen in the world. Time Square screens, TVs, phones, everything. Be on on standby, and please don't ask me why, just trust me."

With his final words, Percy vapor traveled away leaving the duo unable to ask anything.

He soon appeared, worn out yet content, at the borders of his home. He felt the changes that took place inside his body affect his outer appearance. His hair now fully platinum like fresh fallen snow, skin paler than his usual tan.
