Once a hero - Riordan_LeoGreyson

Chapter 8

Stupid prophecies, man I love Thor

I sat down in a chair and watched as Nico closed the door and locked it.

"So, what's up?" I asked.

"You know what's up." Piper said. "Chiron told us after the meeting that you were there."

"Can you be clearer? From what I know, I've been on the run from the Avengers these last two days or so."

"Chiron told us you were there in a dream, he said hi to you, don't you remember?" Will asked.

"Oh yeah... That was creepy, usually it's only monsters who can see or sense me, just let alone talk to me." I smiled and looked at them. My smile quickly dropped. "So, there's a new prophecy?" I asked. Piper nodded.

"Yes, and we suspect it evolves around you."

I sighed, "Of course it does. I can't remember if I've already heard it, could you please recite it to me?" I asked.

She nodded, but Nico took over.

"At dawn you shall go to the past

Find the hero at last

And hope that friendship will outlast

Reunite as force and find the source." He recited.

I groaned, "I thought I had gotten rid of all this demigod stuff."

"Ha, you really thought so?" Piper asked. "Please, you're the one and only Percy Goddam Jackson."

"Yeah... Anyways, so what have you found out yet?" I asked.

"Well, we had to go to the past at dawn, and we suspected that it was New York City, there we found your mother Sally." Piper explained.

"We talked to her for a while, and she talked a bit about you, and she didn't really know where you were." Will continued.

"Other than that, she had seen you just a few hours ago." I nodded. That made sense. "So, after that we ran around like some stupid people. We had no idea where to go."

"So how did you guys end up here?" I asked. I fiddled with the seam of my shirt.

"I have no idea." Piper said.

"We were walking around in the city, right? And then we walked into the park and in between a few trees to take a break, and when we walked back out, we came out here on the grass with you fighting the chimera." Will explained. I nodded. So, they had probably gotten some help from some God.

"But that's not important." Piper said. "What's important is that you're not able to come with us." She said worried. "And Gods know what will happen if you don't go."

I nodded. "You're right. I must go either way. Either willingly or by force." I looked out the window. "Either... I ask for them to release me, but then I'll probably have to reveal our world. Or I will run away, and they will come after me."

"We can't have them in our heels if you run away from them." Nico said. "We'll risk they die, or they'll get into our mess."

I pinched the bridge of my nose. Why was it that I was arrested again? I wasn't even in jail,

I was in a random building. Okay maybe not random, but close enough. The Avengers claimed that I was a terrorist. I had no way to prove them wrong unless I told them about the Greek gods and the wars.

"I know." I spoke.

"And it's not like we can ask anyone for help either. More demigods wouldn't help, it would probably make this whole situation worse. And asking for help from the Gods... they wouldn't want to help." Piper said. I looked at her. The Gods. I widened my eyes.
