Poseidon punched Zeus square in the chest, but Zeus grinned, clearly unaffected. They rolled around the floor, each brother trying to get the upper hand. Zeus's laughter filled the room as he effortlessly dodged Poseidon's attempts to pin him.

Zeus managed to catch his breath between laughs. "Oh, come on, brother," he teased. "You're gonna tell me that's not your kid? Just look at him! He's a miniature version of you, but not blonde and with one eye." He chuckled, still enjoying the moment.

Poseidon snarled, pushing Zeus harder into the floor. "Shut the fuck up you dumbass!" he bellowed. "That abomination is not my son! I would never be such a whore like my counterpart to father something like that!"

The gods in the room shifted uncomfortably, their eyes darting between the two brothers. Some of them looked ready to intervene, but no one moved.

"POSEIDON, ENOUGH!" Hades's voice rang out as he descended from his throne, his darkened violet eyes narrowing. In a single fluid motion, Hades pulled Poseidon off Zeus, his hand on Poseidon's chest to hold him back. "This is ridiculous, Poseidon. You're making a spectacle of yourself," he scolded.

"Thank you, eldest brother," Zeus said, brushing off his toga as if nothing had happened. "But honestly, I still think he looks like Poseidon's kid. The resemblance is almost uncanny!"

Poseidon growled and was about to leap at Zeus.

"Both of you, stop!" Hades said sternly.

Seconds later, all three sat back down on their thrones.

New title:
Demon Pigeons Attack

The gods fell into stunned silence as they processed the new title.

Apollo raised an eyebrow. "Demon pigeons? Seriously? What next, a zombie squirrel apocalypse?" He shook his head, clearly baffled.

"Sounds like something Loki would unleash," Thor muttered, looking sideways at his cousin, who shrugged innocently.

Hades was staring intently at the title, his expression unreadable. "Demon pigeons... interesting. I imagine they'll be a nuisance, but nothing too destructive."

Zeus, still chuckling from his earlier exchange with Poseidon, grinned mischievously. "I bet they're just trying to ruffle some feathers." He burst into laughter again at his own pun, oblivious to the collective groan that followed.

"Shut up, Zeus," Hera muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes.

The next few days were torture, just like Tantalus wanted.

First there was Tyson moving into the Poseidon cabin, giggling to himself every fifteen seconds and saying, "Percy is my sister?" like he'd just won the lottery.

Poseidon glared daggers at the Cyclops's image on the screen. "Stupid brat!" he said disdainfully.

Rhea, Hades, and Hestia shot him disapproving glances.

"Aw, Tyson," I'd say. "It's not that simple."

But there was no explaining it to him. He was in heaven. And me ... as much as I liked the big guy, I couldn't help feeling embarrassed. Ashamed. There, I said it.

The gods gasped, not expecting her to admit that.

"She shouldn't feel ashamed for being embarrassed to have that thing as her brother," the sea god sneered.

"Poseidon, that's cold of you to say. Tyson is your son—accept that," Rhea scolded, frowning in disapproval.

Poseidon scoffed, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes.
