ALL DEMIGODS HAVE DADDY AND MOMMY ISSUES

Many stared at the title with amusement, especially the demigods seated there. The wizards and witches exchanged curious glances, while the demigods rolled their eyes or snickered at the blatant truth.

James leaned back, chuckling. "Sounds like some of us here too, eh?"

Sirius grinned. "Well, parenting isn't exactly the wizarding world's strong suit either."

Lily sighed. "James, please. Not in front of Harry."

Harry just shook his head. "It's fine, Mum. We all know it's true."

Percy couldn't help but laugh. "We might as well wear it as a badge of honor."

Annabeth's hand intertwined with Harry's, gave a small smile. "It's practically a prerequisite for being a hero."

Hermione raised an eyebrow. "Really? That explains a lot."

Regulus looked thoughtful. "I suppose having issues with gods as parents would be a bit more complicated than our lot."

Nico smirked. "You have no idea."

Ginny nudged her wife with an amused smile. "Imagine what Rita Skeeter would do with that headline."

Luna replied dreamily, "I think she'd have a field day with our family histories alone."

'We're fucked' was the first thought that flashed through (Name)'s mind when she found herself face-to-face with not two, but three monsters. The bear twins, flanked Luke, who wore a malevolent grin. The sheer size and ferocity of the bears, combined with Luke's dark aura, made the situation dire.

"Who are the bears, though?" Alice asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Agrius and Oreius," Percy explained. "They're twin bear monsters. Not the brightest, but definitely dangerous."

"They'll be explanations about how they were born for those who don't know about them," (Name) added quickly.

Harry muttered, "This just keeps getting better. First hellhounds, then Drakons, dragon ladies, now bear monsters. What's next, a hydra with a hangover?"

The four demigods who were on the quest shared a look before looking away quickly to contain their laughter at how right he was since they didn't really go into detail about their quest with their friends.

James snickered, "I'd love to see a hydra with a hangover. Can you imagine all those heads trying to find an aspirin?"

Sirius clapped James on the back. "Now that's something I'd pay to see. But these bear guys? Not exactly cuddly, are they?"
