The Doctor and the Demigods of Rome

Jason Grace

I'll be updating once a week, occasionally more, since I'm busy most of the summer, and I don't normally have internet when I'm traveling.

Jason stretched his toes, hoping to touch sweet ground once again. But, as usual, Octavian's command that the "traitor of Rome" shall not touch ground until his execution day was fulfilled. Ever since Octavian had replaced Jason as praetor two years ago, he's been using his power to rule as a dictator rather than an elected official.

His hands had gone numb several months ago when he was first put up in this position. If he ever escaped, he was sure that he would of lost all control in his hands.

The metal doors burst open, startling the worn son of Jupiter. Two women, both gingers, one about fourteen, the other somewhere between late twenties and early thirties, were shoved inside. The door quickly slammed shut, leaving both of them yelling at the door, and the younger one claiming if she only had her screwdriver.

"Doctor, calm down!" the older woman said, a thick Scottish accent in her voice, hugging the younger one.

"But they took my sonic, Amy," the younger one - which Jason had come to the assumption was called "Doctor" - cried. "This form is so emotional! I hate it!"

"Doctor, when we get out of here, I'll take you to get fish fingers and custard, okay?" the older one - Amy? - said, ruffling the Doctor's hair.

"You would think that they would get all excited to see Rory," the Doctor said, kicking the wall with her red converse.

"Octavian's never excited about seeing anyone, unless it's his enemies in shackles," Jason said, staring at the strange pair.

"Jason Grace?" the Doctor asked herself, walking towards the blond man.

"The one and only," he complained, a small smile upon his face.

"Amazing!" the Doctor said, poking him in the leg. "Amy, got a bobby-pin?"

Handing the Doctor a bobby-pin, Amy watched with curiosity as her imaginary friend from so many years ago began to free the blond-haired wonder.

"You got to be kidding me…" the Doctor complained as she couldn't reach the locks that have been keeping the demigod in place for so long. "Apparently height is a problem!"

Amy rolled her eyes, and picked up what Jason believed to be her little sister around the waist. Surprisingly quickly, the Doctor had opened the lock, causing Jason to fall to the ground.

"It'll take a while for your legs to be able to withstand your weight," the Doctor said, quickly moving towards the door once put down.

Jason watched in fascination as the little girl, just two or so years younger than he thought he was when he became praetor, quickly attempted to unlock the door. Sadly, she had observed, the door was locked both in common matter, and in that weird chain-thingy that's always in the corner of doors, whatever they may be called.

"Where's our friend?" the Doctor asked through a key hole. "The one dressed as a Roman."

"You dressed your friend as a Roman?" Jason laughed, using his arms to move against the wall to sit comfortably until his legs were strong again.

"Yeah, why is that so hard to believe?" the Doctor asked, sitting beside him.

With a shrug, Jason closed his eyes. It felt wonderful not to have the entire weight of a human being, even an underweight one, set upon one's wrists. Step one of Jason's plan was going as planned: get out of cuffs and sit.

"Do you remember the seven?" the Doctor asked, once again poking Jason, but this time in the cheek. "You, Piper, Leo, Frank, Hazel, Annabeth, and Percy?"

"Excuse me? Who's Leo, Annabeth, and Percy?" Jason asked, giving the young ginger a look, accusing her of being deranged.

"Leo, son of Hephaestus. Annabeth, daughter of Athena. Percy, son of Poseidon."

"Greek gods don't exist," Jason scoffed, his scar on his lip fitting in with the rest of his gorgeous fa- stop thinking like that, the Doctor thought, you are not a teenage girl!

"Hera must of erased most of their memories after the quest was complete," the Doctor said, standing up and brushing off her shorts. "Makes sense. Keeping all three groups away."

"Three?" Jason asked, making an attempt to stand, but ended up falling back down on his butt.

"Rome, Egypt, and Greece. Egypt and Greece would lose in a fight against Rome by themselves, but together they could nearly destroy New Rome. Yes, Egypt and Greece mythology also exists in this world. Get over it, Pond. Get over it, Grace. I'm beginning to sound like a teenage girl!"

"You are a teenage girl, Doctor," Jason said, rubbing his wrists where a red mark remained.

The thought dawned on the Doctor. He was a teenage girl. Maybe this change would be permanent? Permanent as in after the next regeneration, of course. Oh, for her - his? - sake, it better not be that way.
