The Son of the Hulk

Chapter 1

Percy's POV

After the war against Gaia, the camps were a disaster. Luckily Nico had arrived with the Athena Parthenos before there were any casualties, but now the camps were in disarray with nobody knowing what to do. Trying to organize the campers, along with Reyna, helped to keep my mind off of what we had lost. Beauty Queen and Sparky, Fai and Miss Metal Detector, Repair Boy (though he had the Physician's cure so I hope he is safe somewhere), and last but not least, my Wisegirl. One by one, they had fallen trying to stop Gaia.

Hazel was the first to fall, being struck through the throat by an arrow. After that, an empousa stole Frank's stick off of her body and burnt it. Piper died trying to kill a hydra, and my dear wise girl followed soon after, her torso impaled by a spear. In a rage, Jason, Leo and I tore through the monsters, gold dust so thick you could barely see. Next thing I knew, Jason's body was crumpling to the ground after being knocked out of the sky by a giant's club.

Screaming in anger, my hurricane grew even larger, now encircling the entire battlefield with the only places still dry being a small circle surrounding me and another surrounding Leo. Hearing a massive roar, I glanced up to see Festus carrying Gaia, with Leo on his back about to go supersonic. Suddenly there was a deafening BOOM and a flash of blinding light. Looking up once more, as the smoke clears, I see that Gaia, Festus and Leo are no more. It seems that the world truly did fall to storm or fire.

Screaming in rage, I wade through the remaining monsters, who fall under my sword like dust in the breeze. As the last of them falls, I stumbled over to the body of my poor Wisegirl and dissolve into tears.

Hearing the gods approach, I swallow back my misery, wipe my eyes, clear my throat, and stand up, turning to look at them.

"We need shrouds for the rest of the seven of the Prophecy."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a week since the burning of the shrouds, a week since the end of the war, a week since my friends had died. I was talking to Grover, who had finally started to recover from the disturbance to nature caused by Dirtface's rising, when I was summoned to Olympus. Dipping my head in a mock bow, I sigh before asking Zeus what he wanted.

"Perseus Jackson, as thanks for all that you have done for us I had wanted to turn you into a god, but Hades over there said that would result in you turning us down again, since you want to one day join your friends. Instead we have decided to each bless you, and grant you three wishes.

The blessings are as follows, from me safe passage through my domain and control over the winds. From Ares, ability to use any weapon and the removal of his curse. From Hephaestus, the ability to use any technology both with skill and without the risk of being found by monsters. From Apollo the ability to heal and the knowledge of a doctor. From Artemis the ability to have perfect aim, no matter if it is with a bow, gun, or if you are throwing a knife. Demeter has given you control over plants and Aphrodite-" at this Aphrodite herself cut in.

"Darling I was going to give you godlike looks, but you already have those," at this Hermes and Apollo started snickering, "so instead I gave you the ability to change your clothes into whatever you want with only a thought."

"Continuing on," Zeus boomed, "from Poseidon the ability to vapor travel. Hermes gave you the ability to lie and steal a well as his children can. From Athena the ability to read, speak, and write in any language as easily as you can with ancient Greek. From Hera the ability to always find your way back home and the promise to never steal your memories again. From Dionysus the ability to make any drink appear and from Hestia the ability to make any home cooked meal appear. And, finally the ability to live with death yet still move on, and the knowledge that you will always have enough money for whatever it is you want in life. Lastly, what is it you wish for, young hero?"

After taking a moment to think, I begin my requests. "First I would like a portal between camps. We are allies and therefore ought to be able to safely visit one another. My second wish is for Hestia and Hades to become Olympians. They deserve to have a place on the counsel. I would like to save my final wish, to be used some time in the future, when I truly need it. If that is all I would like to return home. My father must be worried sick, seeing that he hasn't seen me for months." Seeing their nods, I bow to my dad before heading out, Vapor traveling from the elevator to my dad's new Home. Calcutta.
