Trapped in the Consequence of Time

Aquila's watch - Orion POV

Partly deleted randomly and rewritten, sorry for any areas that no longer make sense. If you could point them out your help would be greatly appreciated. I don't own Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus or the Hunger Games world of Panem.

I fiddled with my sword as I walked down the corridor between command and weapons. Although District Thirteen was mostly above ground, the hidden catacombs beneath provided perfect cover from Capitol air craft, I was running late to my meeting partly because I was from District Four and even though I had been in 13 for a month now and was practically in charge of the rebels army I was terrible with directions and always got lost. The other reason was that I had a surprise visit from my Dad.

It doesn't sound like much but I hardly ever see him, I know he tries to see me but I mostly see my Mom, I don't even see my sister. There's a reason and it's a pretty valid one since we were at war and trying to be uninvolved must be a full time job. Especially if you happen to be god of trust, friendship and promises.

That's my Dad. Percy Jackson or just Perseus because most gods don't exactly have last names, anyway he's lord of trust, friendship, promises and some other stuff, there was a joke that he's god of how to be ultra-annoying and to say he's risen to the challenge magnificently is an understatement. My Mom is Annabeth Chase formally Jackson, official architect of Olympus because its wrecked that often and Goddess of creativity. My sister is kind of just there though has a part time job as Goddess of deception. So my entire family is immortal except me, nobody knows how that works but I'm pretty damn hard to kill even if I do say so myself.

Anyway my Dad came to tell me to expect some visitors and that he may have found a reason for the non-immortal problem, also to say that most of the Capitol had been taken, something I'm pretty sure this meeting is about.

I stopped outside the door and slipped my sword into my pocket. Nobody in command knew who I was and I was determined to keep it that way, the only half-bloods that I knew of in 13 was my thirteen year old friend Alexis Mason from District 2 son of Ares, and Amber Martin from District 7 daughter of Apollo aged eleven and my friend/girl I'm-in-love-with Aquila Lush aged sixteen daughter of Aphrodite, from the Capitol itself. We also happen to be the only people not from thirteen, so everybody already looks at us strangely and if they were to find that we just happened to be the children of an Olympian god, or two in my case, I think District Thirteen might explode from overused strange expressions.

"Orion!" came my boss's voice as I opened the door.

"Hi Leach." I said. "Sorry I'm late, I had a surprise visit."

"Don't worry about it." He said, bouncing up and down so that his greying brown hair flopped into his dark eyes. That man seriously has too much energy; I sat down next to my co-commander in warfare Katy Fairchild, who was writing something under the table. She was thirty five, twenty years older than me, and generally tried to have little to do with me as possible. She completely ignored me unless absolutely necessary and in meetings like this was usually paying no attention and liked the hang her long blond hair down the side of her face so she couldn't see me. Next to her was our weapons genius Neville Harland who smiled at me. Next to him was Ray, I have no idea who he is or what he does but he's in every single meeting so it must be important. Last in the room was Collins, she was a hacker who was very good at getting into Capitol broadcasts and finding out where they will hit next. She was twenty one and the only other person in the room close to my age, and who I got along with, meaning she didn't pretend I didn't exist.

"So now that we're here I have an announcement to make." Leach began. "The Capitol has been breached and there's only a few blocks left to the government buildings. So thanks to everybody, we all deserve a brake but by the end of the week the Capitol should have fallen. Congratulations." He started clapping enthusiastically after a moment Ray and Collins joined in. Katy looked up to see what was happening, clapped once and then went back to her paper. I frowned. I knew about the Capitol falling but it didn't seem right.
