Song- Superheroes by The Script. (Couldn't find one to fit the chapter but oh well.)

Warning, this will get confusing. Just wait until next chapter and everything will make sense. Also, I guess no one wants to submit a cover, so I'll just make one on my own. (Current one.)

Percy P.O.V.

So there I was. Sitting on the ground awkwardly in the middle of the night with the entire hunt and pack hugging me.

"Why am I being hugged by man-haters?" I had to ask.

They all moved off of me, laughing. "You're our brother now, Perce." Pheobe laughed, as though it explained everything.

I was pretending it did when I suddenly saw Thalia slowly walking to me with sparks flying off of her right hand.

I yelped as she slapped me with all her electrified strength.

"OUCH!"

"Never do that again, Kelp Head." She said glaring at my forehead since she couldn't look me in the eyes. That must be annoying.

I smirked as I nodded my head. "Yes ma'am." I said while mock-saluting her.

Persassy is back.

I groaned, my bright silver eyes immediately roaming to search for my twin once Sparky was done with me.

I locked eyes with her-and gasped. It was almost like I could see her fate in my eyes, and currently it wasn't a good one.

I stood up, shaking off the hands that tried to hold me down.

It was strange-I was actually looking someone in the eyes without them backing down.

Even though he wasn't used to submissiveness it still felt weird to not have that reaction.

"Percy? Y-you're scaring me!" she stuttered as I kept getting closer and closer to the she-wolf.

That made me get out of my strange trance. It was different... to say the least. He could swear that he saw a glimpse of her future.

"Lou?" I said, blinking repeatedly to clear my vision.

"Percy." she sighed in relief, going in for a hug.

"How dare you collapse on me! you scared the living crap out of everyone!"

"Sorry, sis. It couldn't be helped. When the Fates want to talk to someone, the Fates want to talk to someone."

"Yes, Perseus. About that, when you awoke you accepted a blessing. You said it was from the Fates. Care to explain?" Lady Artemis demanded.

Percy's eyes flashed golden in annoyance.

Artemis gasped, finally realizing that Percy's eyes were solid silver.

Something that had never happened before.

"I probably should tell you. The Fates decided that they wanted me to have more power, so they decided to bless me with their abilities."

I could tell that Alpha, Omega, Louisa, Nico, Artemis, the Wolf I haven't met yet who is my sister's mate from the vision, and the entire hunt looked skeptical. The only person who didn't was Krystal, who just looked insanely confused.

I growled at who was probably the Alpha before raising an eyebrow at Krystal. She mouthed back "Later."

I decided to test out my new powers, and after concentrating a moment an image of my memories appeared. It was when I was talking to the Fates, so I let them explain everything much better than I could.

Everyone wore the same exact look of shock and awe.

That got people to believe me.

Finally, I let the image drop. He was thoroughly exhausted.

Unfortunately, my night was far from over.

"Percy, can we talk?" It was Krystal.

He was concerned. "Sure. We can talk now."

She nervously looked over her shoulder at Artemis, then shrugged her shoulders.

"YOLO" She decided aloud, and kissed him full on the mouth.

"EWWW. PDA!!!" The entire hunt screamed. All of the wolves just rolled their eyes at the young mates.

The response was immediate. It was electric.

Especially when Percy immediately pushed her away and she shocked the living Hades out of him.

"Thats what I thought." she said.

"What's wrong?" He replied.

"You didn't feel anything-did you?"

"Well-there was- it was- ummm. No, nothing except the feeling of being a fried fish."

"Me too, but without the fish. We aren't True Mates. Just like the Fates said."

"I guess not." Percy replied.

"Friends?" I held out my hand.

"Friends." She shook it, smiling. I smiled back.

"This has been an... interesting turn of events." Artemis stated.

"It certainly has." Thalia interrupted before yelling "SH*T!"

"THALIA GRACE IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME TO WATCH THAT MOUTH YOUNG LADY!"

"Yes, my lady. My apologies. Again, today."

She then whispered to Percy "Bat ears, I swear." He laughed at his cousin's antics, even as Lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis, she was as immature as always.

"Wait, why did you yell randomly?" I asked her.

"Oh, umm about that. Annabethisjoiningthehuntandisstandingrightbehindyou." She mumbled. Apparently she forgot about wolf hearing.

I turned around to see the one and only Annabeth Chase.

"PERCY?!?" A very familiar voice spoke once I turned around.

"Oh my various gods."

I then ran straight up to Annabeth.

Third Person P.O.V.

The entire Pack and Hunt was still standing there in utter shock, mouths open to let in flies.

Then something happened that no one could explain.

Annabeth and Percy touched, and a golden glow seemed to surround them.

Percy's eyes glowed silver again, and they both went limp as they lifted into the air. After a moment they came back down, Percy in his wolf form.

"Do it. Please." Annabeth begged.

Percy at this point had no control, and neither did Annabeth, as he lunged for her left shoulder.

He bit her, and they both let out sighs of relief before passing out yet again.

The golden glow slowly faded, leaving them entangled together.

"Oh come, on. What the Hell happened now?!?" Artemis stated angrily, all politeness and regal bearing disappearing in that instance of irritation.
