Disclaimer: RR owns almost all of this blah, blah, blah.

 

Jason

Jason wasn’t looking forward to this.He really didn’t want to fight with anyone especially Percy, but it just happened. He hadn’t even produced the lightening. They had to though. Percy and Jason were told by the gods themselves to cause a fight to test the other’s strength.  It was times like these that Jason really disliked them.

 

*Flashback*

 

Jason was in the middle of a peaceful sleep when he started dreaming. He was in a throne room by the looks of it. There were twelve in all and in each was a giant-not the bad ones that they were supposed to kill but godly ones. It hit Jason; they were the gods. He recognized the one in the middle almost immediately knelt down.

“Jupiter?” it came out as a question since his dad was having some kind of glitch, if that could happen to gods. He was switching from an angry face to a really angry face.

“Yes, yes that’s me but now I’m Zeus at the same time.” He grumbled.

“Is that any way to talk to your son?” another god said. He was Neptune. “Right now I’m Poseidon but same concept.”

“Where’s Perseus? He was never the reliable one…” Pluto or Hades Jason guessed since they appeared to be in their Greek form.

“Percy? He’s probably still sleeping.” Jason mumbled. Poseidon chuckled. He heard a thud behind him and turned. There on the floor, looking incredibly grumpy was Percy.

“Seriously?! It’s like five in the morning.” He said narrowing his eyes at the gods. When they landed on Zeus he exploded.

“Hey! You’re lucky I gave up immortality or you’d be dying over and over again.” He threatened.

“Don’t get mad at me Jackson you’re an insult to all demigods and don’t think you could have killed me you-“the god was cut off by Venus. ‘Aphrodite it’s Aphrodite!’

“Now is not the time to have petty fights! And the boy has a right to be mad.”  Zeus was about to start ranting again but Jason just wanted to go back to sleep.

“As amusing as this is why exactly did you wake us up and bring us to-“He wasn’t sure where they were but Percy luckily knew somehow.

“Mt. Olympus in Manhattan…hey you could just zap our ship here!” he shouted.

“Doesn’t work that way Pablo and we need to ask a favor.” Jason didn’t recognize the god at first but then saw the wine he was drinking, Bacchus to Romans and Dionysus to the Greeks. He would have been honored to be at Mt. Olympus but he had bigger problems.

“Favor, you expect us to owe you a favor after all that we’ve been through?” Jason asked angrily.

Zeus gave him a sympathetic look. He had forgotten that the god had lost his only daughter. Losing Thalia had killed him inside. He tried not to show how hard he had taken it. They’d only been reunited for less than a stinking year.

“It’s the final task to do before we shall help the Seven.” His father announced.

“I thought closing the Doors would please you but no.” Percy said not bothering to make sure no one else heard it. Lightning and thunder surrounded them but it soon simmered down.
