Percy Jackson: The Son Of Chaos

Chapter 13

Previously:

**Percy**

By the time we finished eating everything, the team and I got up from the table and they all began to walk back to their rooms, but instead, I waited until they were all gone and flashed myself to earth, or to be more specific, the streets of New York City.

**Percy**

I've missed the familiar streets of New York City. The first thing I did was change my clothes with my powers to look more casual. After I did so, I walked around the city. Buying coffee for myself and just chilling in Central Park was only a few of the things I did out of the many, I just missed it a lot, after everything that had happened starting from the Second Giant War.

Now, you either guessed why I was here or you practically have no clue. Either way, I'll tell you: It's obviously about time I visited my mother, Paul and Estelle, right?

To not seem suspicious, I walked to the house, since no one knows what the Mist would show those Mortals. Well, unless you're a Mortal yourself.

I reached the apartment and knocked on the door of my mother's place.

The door opened to reveal a little girl. Estelle, my sister. She resembled most of Paul's looks, but she had brown hair and blue eyes like my mother.

She examined me carefully and asked, "Are you my brother? Are you Percy?"

I smiled at how cute she was and nodded.

"Mommy! It's Percy! Percy's here!" Estelle exclaimed in excitement as she went in the house to call her.

Then Estelle skipped back.

"Mommy's so happy you're here, she choked on her drink!" She told me, trying to contain her excitement. I giggled, thinking she was exaggerating.

"Where's your father?" I asked.

"Daddy's at work," Estelle answered.

That was when my mom came to the door. She instructed Estelle to go back into the house.

"You're not supposed to be here." She told me, seeming worried. However, I kind of expected a "Hi Percy! Where have you been?"

"Why?" I asked, now curious.

"More enemies, even ones you don't know about, are coming after you after what happened." She said.

"Wait, you know?"

"Your real father told me."

"Mom, relax. I can take care of myself." I assured.

"No, no, no. It's not just monsters that are after you. There are others that are after you, but I don't know who-"

The next thing I know, I heard a gunshot and there was a bullet through her chest.

"Mom?! No! Please!" I cried as her body leaned against my arms.

"I l-love you, P-Percy. E-Estelle..."

She was dead.

I quickly laid her body on the ground and went to Estelle. Whoever killed my mother only wanted her dead. Probably to get on my nerves or to make me too depressed to fight.

"Mommy! Where's mommy?" Estelle asked, scared.

"Mom- Mommy's gone," I said.

"Gone?" She asked, trying not to cry.

That was when I saw him. The man who assassinated my mother. I only saw a flash of him through the window, but I could make out a black mask that covered his face, brown hair and most importantly, a metal arm.

I ran towards the open window and chased after him. He was running and jumping across roofs now, gun in his hand. I summoned my cloak on me and my Void Silver sword which I currently call Sigastíras, Silencer in Greek.

I continued running and jumping as fast as I can. That man will pay for killing my mother.

Eventually, I gave up and just flashed to him. He was taken aback by surprise but quickly recovered before I could stab him. Instead, he managed to get my sword out of my hand and I got his gun out of his hand in exchange, which resulted in us fighting each other bare handed.

Our skills matched each other, but he had a strength advantage. His arm, even the human one, had a great and strong impact when he punched. Many people had strong arms, but they didn't know how to use them to punch strongly. This man, however, knew exactly how, like he was trained extremely hard by a person or more.

I can't use my telepathy powers, not now. I didn't want to risk getting stuck in his mind.

As if he managed to scan my fighting style, he tackled me, punched me hard in the face and ran away.

I tried my best to get up, and once I did, I quickly ran back to Estelle.

I hugged Estelle immediately after I ran back, trying my best to comfort her, even if I couldn't comfort myself. Mom was right, I shouldn't be anywhere near Paul or Estelle. Every extra second I spend with them, the more danger they get into.

"Where is the creepy guy?" Estelle asked.

"Percy chased the creepy guy away, Estelle. You won't see him again." I reassured.

Sure, Estelle won't see him again. But I will.

"Come on. Let's go find Paul." I said as I carried my half-sister.

"Daddy?" Estelle asked.

"Yes, your daddy," I confirmed.

"No Percy. I mean, daddy's right there." Estelle said as she pointed to a direction behind me.

I turned around to see Paul, tears forming in his eyes, with shock and grief written all over his face, looking at his dead wife that laid before him.

"W-who- Who did this?" Paul asked.

"A man. An assassin. He was fast, strong... had a metal arm." I explained. "I need to get the both of you to somewhere safe."

"D-don't worry. Estelle and I can stay in my apartment for now." He said as I handed Estelle over to his arms.

"Okay. I need to go." I said as I carried my mother's body and flashed to Chaos to tell him about the assassin.

I have given a few big clues about the crossover universe in this chapter, have you found them?

Ugh, this was sad to write because I love Sally so much. 😭😭😭 I'm so sorry if you feel the same.

And when I read the first few chapters I wrote, I found myself cringing at them so bad. Maybe in my future chapters, I might cringe at this chapter too. So if I complete this book, I'll try to edit those pieces of cringe.

And who has watched Mission Impossible: Fallout? The movie was amazing! I loved it a lot! However, I just wish that Jeremy Renner's filming schedule for this movie hadn't clashed with the filming schedule for Avengers 4. I love Brandt and Benji. Both of them are my top favourite characters, followed closely by Ethan.

I just recommend you guys to watch it! Action-packed and humorous at the same time!
