Our Future Kids (percico fanfiction)

CHAPTER 15

- FUTURE TIME -

When Nico woke up, everyone was sitting around the bunker having a happy and lively conversation for the first time in a long while. Treats and drinks were heavily piled up on one of the clean tables.

Nico looked around at everyone, they were exchanging stories, telling jokes and laughing. Nico felt anger rise up in him. How could they sit there, dine and have the time of their lives when theie children were missing? When Val was missing.

"What the hell are you doing?" Nico wanted his voice to sound harsh and angry, but it sounded more like a croak.

The other adults turned to Nico. "Hey, look who finally woke up." Jason said at the same time when Leo said, "Morning sleeping beauty."

"What are you doing?" Nico croaked again. "The most amazing thing just happened Nico." Hazel said excitedly as she planted herself down on the bed beside Nico.

Nico huffed, "I highly doubt that."

Percy walked up to the siblings, sitting on the opposite side that Hazel sat on Nico's bed. "It's true, we have an idea of where the kids are, we were just waiting for you to wake, so we'd tell you the good news." Percy said. "Where?" Nico asked, he wanted to be sure there was a definite  reason behind this celebration.

"A few months after the war with Gaea." Annabeth answered.

He didn't know he as holding it in, but Nico instantly let out a breath of relief. The feelings of joy and happiness washed over him.

They did it. They actually did it. They were going to bring back their kids. They were going to bring back Val.

He wanted to run around, do a stupid dance, and scream for joy, but that would be a wierd sight, plus, he still had to consider his recovering body and croaking voice.

So instead, he threw his arms around Percy and Hazel - since those two were closer to him - and pulled them both into tight hugs.

"Thank you." Nico whispered. "Of course." Hazel says. "You know we'd do anything for you." Percy replies.

After the celebration, they all planned for the journey to take place the next day at 11am. They decided that only one parent of each child would go.

Jason would go for his son, same for Leo. Annabeth decided that Percy would go for the Jackson kids, as she was the only other person, besides Leo, who knew how the time machine functioned and would bring them back if anything were to happen.

Percy and Nico had another argument. Percy wanted to go for Val as well, but Nico insisted on going for her.

Percy repeatedly points out that Nico just woke up from a coma and that his body is still recovering. But Nico was as stubborn and as determined as ever to get his daughter back.

After what felt like an hour, but was only thirty minutes, Percy caved and Nico was feeling triumph.

The next day, they all went down to the beach. Leo and Annabeth set up the time machine and guided the other three men on what would happen and what to do.

After the explanation, the four men arranged themselves. Annabeth typed somethings on her end of the machine, then there was a bright light and the four men were gone.

--- PRESENT TIME ---

After careful consideration and thought, the future teens decided it was ok for Crystal to come out.

The present teens had all felt Crystal's power once, by the beach, so they weren't really sure how to feel about her.

The only person,almost certain about what he felt was Leo, and he was curious. He had met Khione once and he wanted to see what the difference or similarity was between the two.

Val stood in the front where everybody could see her. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Her fair skin became sickly pale and her black hair turned platnium blonde or white. When she opened her eyes, they were glowing in ice blue. The temperature in the room dropped, but whether  anyone noticed or not, they didn't show.

"You're Crystal?" Jason finally says breaking the quiet silence. "No, I'm Charcoal," Crystal says sarcastically, "Yes, I'm Crystal!"

Piper, Will and the Percico pair chuckled at that. "You look almost exactly like Khione." Leo noticed. Crystal sighed, obvioisly having heard that line before, "Yeah, I get that a lot."

"How are you here?" Will asked.

"What do you mean?"

"He means, how can you exist." Jason supplied.

Crystal knew the present teens didn't mean to pry, they were just curious and wanted to know more about her. Well at least that's what she heard through Val, but she couldn't help feeling a bit like they were prying.

Still, she was about to answer them, because they were family. "When Nico became pregnant with Val, and the gods found out, they were very angry. And not because he was a pregnant male, they had already talked about the male pregnancy issue with Aphrodite." Helena spoke up helping Crystal.

Crystal smiled at Helena, she liked her, Helena always did a great job being both Val and Crystal's big sister.

"The problem was that the baby was a child of not one, but two children of the Big Three." Luke added, "Poseidon and Hades."

"The gods knew Val would probably inherit some of her parents powers, also meaning she would be part of the underworld and the sea domain. And, they didn't want a legacy to be more powerful than them." Crystal said.

"Since Nico was pregnant, they cursed Val's Poseidon side." Charles says, "of course, Poseidon was completely against it, but he was just one god, and the decision had already been made."

"I've been with Val ever since we were born. We may share the same body, but we are not the same person." Crystal clarified,

"I know everything about her as she should about me. I know I would never admit this out loud," her voice was soft, but it turned cold and hard with what she said next,

"and if you tell her or you repeat that I said this about her to anyone, I will kill you," Crystal paused to let her threat sink in for everyone, before she continued in a soft voice,

"but I do love her, and I would do anything to protect her."
