*Percy*

I was flashed into the middle of the throne room and was immediately bombarded by hugs.

All the gods were hugging me, even the man hating goddess, the goddess that hates demigods, my two moody uncles and a wisdom goddess who hates me.

Very weird.

"Percy, we can hear you, you know." Poseidon said.

"Umm... how?" I asked. It was not good if the gods could hear my thoughts.

"Since we all blessed you, we can all hear your thoughts and can talk to you in your head." Athena said.

I shook my head and decided to let it pass. I turned to face my uncle.

"Lord Zeus, I mean no disrespect, but why am I here?" I asked trying to sound innocent.

"Percy, first of all, are you ok?" Zeus replied.

I thought for a moment. I know that if I was asked this years ago (Well, weeks ago if you didn't spend 600 years locked in your head) I would have put on a smile and lied through my teeth insisting that I was fine and there was no need to worry. I wouldn't have mentioned my flashback or nightmares and I would pretend that everything was fine.

But it wasn't.

And that's what I'm thinking about. The fact that it wasn't.

Was not.

Past tense.

I know that everything is not perfect yet. I hadn't gotten a chance to grieve properly over the death of my friends and Parents. I had lost a lot of family in the wars, but I've got my new one to help me through.

Everything is not perfect. But life is ok.

"I'm okay." I answered truthfully.

"Percy, we know that last time we offered you this, you turned it down for many reasons but mainly for Annabeth. However, now your immortal, we wish to offer it again as no one is or ever will be more worthy than you. Percy, we would like you to become a god. An Olympian in fact. What is your answer?"

I thought again for a second. I thought of the pros and cons in my head. I was already immortal so I wouldn't see Annabeth again (I managed to keep a clear head while thinking about this) The only issue I had were the ancient laws.

"Would I still be able to fight with the Avengers?" I asked. I didn't want to go to the and say 'oh, thanks for healing me, see ya!'

Zeus smiled at me, probably reading my thoughts.

"Yes, you will be much like Artemis, not bound by the ancient laws and able to help the mortals with there fighting." Zeus explained.

I thought in over for a minute.

"In that case, I would be honoured lord Zeus." I said while bowing.

A brief image of surprise flashed across the gods faces. I smiled at them. It's weird to think that When I was 12, 1006 years ago, I was scared if all of the gods. Now they act more like my family.

They all raised there hands and shot a ball of energy each at me. I was in incredible pain. No where near as bad as it was when I woke up from me 600 year torture but still pretty bad.

When the pain stopped I realised that I was on my knees. I shakily stood up and was once again met by surprised faces.

"Um, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Perce, when demigods are turned into minor gods they pass out, you just got turned into an Olympian and only fell to your knees." Apollo explained.

"Well I guess that being an 18 year old who's been throught what I've been through helps." I said rubbing the back of my neck. I didn't want to tell them I was actually 1018 years old and had been tortured for 1000 years of my life.

"You're lying" Apollo stated frowning.

"Lying about what?" Hermes asked.

"His age." Apollo said frown deepening.

"No I'm not" I said taking a few steps backwards.

"Percy, how old are you?" Zeus asked. I looked down and mumbled

"1018"

"What did you say?" Artemis asked.

"1018" I said louder. I looked down avoiding everyone's eyes.

"How?" Hephaestus asked. I sighed knowing that I had to tell them.

"When I fell into Tartarus, time runs faster there. Even though it was only a couple of weeks for you... it was 400 years for me." I was interrupted by gasps. I then continued. "Then I was cursed and even thought it was only 14 hours, I think, for you, it was 600 years for me." I was once again hugged by all the gods.

"I'm sorry to hear that Percy." Hades said.

"Anyway, so.. I'm a god now?" I asked causing everyone to chuckle.

"Yes Percy, and this is your throne. It has a decoration for all the gods who have blessed you as well as blackjack and Riptide. Your sacred animal is a Pegasus and Riptide is your symbol of power." Poseidon said.

The meeting ended shortly after that. There will be a party which is when I will be introduce to all the other gods. The avengers are invited but for now I'm going back to the tower.

Over the time I've been with the avengers my life has got better and better.

It's not Perfect, but it's okay.

The End!
