It was graduation we get our diploma and our Law license. I'm valedictorian and I was called up.
"Our Valedictorian will do his Speech please welcome Perseus Jackson." The Dean of the School called.
I walked up to the mike.
"Hello fellow peers, professors, Family and friends. Today is a big day. We took part in Elementary, middle, and High schools. We came here to get more education then we were required. Let me tell you some of my life. My dad was gone before I was born but that was okay. I had a wonderful mother who I look up to. With several bumps and a few missing person reports I made it here to this spot. I'm sure I made my mother proud and my step father. We did this for a reason to protect people. Now it's the time the world knew what this class of law graduates can do!" I said. There was claps, and cheering. I smiled and waved as I gave the mike back to the Dean.
"Thank you Perseus. I'm sure you made your mom proud. Now we will see these graduates with the school song." He said.
When we were dismissed the two gym buddies and a bunch of other people in nice cloths walked up to me.
"Well done Perseus great speech." The blonde from the gym said.
"My apologies every time we met we have yet to introduce ourselves. Perseus Jackson." I said sticking my hand out.
"Steve Rogers."
"Bucky Barnes."
They said. I nod and give them a slight smile.
I look at Tony Stark that has remarking resemblance to my mom. I look closer and my breathe hitch. I shack my head no and back up.
"Looks like he figured it out." A person said. Then there was an ow.
"Where were you during their funeral or the seven months before that?" Uncle Tony asked. Giving me narrowed eyes.
"I was in a coma for six of those months. And I was being held hostage ask your two boys here they seen me shirtless." I said pointing to Steve and Bucky.
"I was told they died. I was already broken from my fiancé being killed. So I did what they wished for me. Continue school and save people." I said. I look down with a tear slipping my eye. I wipe it away.
"Well come on I fix your group here Lunch and we can talk more." I said walking back home. I can hear them follow me. I unlock my door and let them in.
I walk in and put the keys in the tray. I take off my cap and gown and put it in the coat closet. I head to the kitchen where they are at. I started fixing blue pancakes.
"Where's all the pictures?" One asked.
"In the showcase room. I'll show you after lunch." I said. I finished and got some beers out and the syrup. Once everyone finished I led them to the white door. On it I painted a war scene and a hour glass showing your out of time. I took a deep breath. I open the door. The walls are covered in names in multiple colors. They gasped at the room.
"Who are all these names?" Bucky asked.
"My friends, Comrades, my mom and step father, my fiancé, cousins. These are all the people who died saving me, fighting with me, or died because of me. These are the names I feel guilty for not saving, or was not fast enough. Trust me when you have so many enemies they don't care if they kill your family or friends. They just want to see you break and fall apart." I said. Looking at the picture I painted of Annabeth.
"Who's that?" Said a woman with a strong accent. She nodded at the picture I was looking at.
"That is Annabeth. She was my fiancé. We were going to go to college together and get married when we were 19. But a terrorist group attacked. They killed here and many others." I said sadly holding in my tears.
"And this." She said directing to my two cousins.
"Those are my cousins from my dads side. It's Nico and Thalia. They also died during the attack. Nico was seventeen, and Thalia was eighteen. We were the same age at the time. We were really close we were like siblings sense their mothers died and mom unofficially adopted them." I said with a small sad smile.
"Who drew, and painted all these?" A red head women asked.
"I did. I have a degree in Studio art. These are before I did though. No one knew I was good at it. It was something I can relax and do." I said. I can hear my front door break in. I rush out of the room to see beef head and Kelli. I quickly get Riptide out.
"Hello Kelli and beef brain." I said nodding.
"Perseus Jackson." Kelli said. She gave a smile showing fangs. She started running at me me. I block her attacks and stab her making her into gold dust.
Beef brain runs at me I front flip and land on his back stabbing him. He turned to dust. I look at my front door and sigh. I slowly walk over to the sea green door with a trident knocker that laid on the floor. A tear slipped my eye. I got my phone out and ordered a new door with trident knocker. A door appeared with a note.
Perseus,
Here's the door. I know how much that door meant. This one is monster proof.
~Hermes & Hephaestus
I put up the new door and drag the old one to the memory room. I put it in the corner.
"You are not only here to tell me I'm your nephew right?" I said knowingly.
"Our boss wants you to answer some questions." Uncle Tony said. I nod. I grab my keys, wallet, phone, computer. We walk to the tower. Where I saw Nick
Fury son of Ares that went missing since before the war with Kronos. I give him a harsh glare that made him shiver.
"Where were you when we needed your help Nick?!" I growled out.
He kept silent.
"Huh you decided to play normal. You missed the first war then the second. I lost my friends, my parents, and my fiancé. I lost everything. While you are here play boss. If you wanted to play boss I would've trade place to not be the leader that brought the fate on them. Then when I'm finally moving on you somehow get my uncle, gym buddies and the rest of the team to get me. This was supposed to be the day I Celebrate I just got a law degree." I said with the look of hurt.
"Your wrong. I don't want to be leader it was your prophecy." Fury said.
"Yes but all still fought. We still won the wars. But we lost more people. I lead them. They believed I can get them out alive did you know how well that turned out. Only a fifty survived that last war. And that war I lost everything even my will to live. But I guess the Fates decided they can't have me die. And guess what. I will never see them again. Even if I die I go to the void to reform. I was turned into the one thing I declined so many times. And to even say I walked through hell literally. So tell me Nick. Were you ever going back to camp or were you playing Mortal." I said.
I walk to the elevator and went to the pool. I sat at the bottom of the pool with my phone, wallet and keys in my locker in the changing room.
