Percy Jackson - Back from Tartarus -Adopted-

Chapter 19

Percy's POV

Luke was stunned as you may believe. It's not every day that you get asked by the prince of hell to join him.

"Um ... Sure?" He really couldn't say no and Percy knew this. he didn't want to use it against him but Luke was a valuable asset that he didn't want the other team to get him. Luke still had people that cared for him at camp half-hell. He hated to admit it but Annabitch and Thalia probably still loved him. "I mean I led an army once and look how that turned out." Luke looked down at his lap.

"Luke I'm working with Olympus know this." He was about the response and I held up my hand to stop him. "I hate those bastards as much as you do, probably even more. They banished me to Tartarus. And after two hundred years down here and only twenty up there they came begging for help. I didn't want to help them but my father, Tartarus also made me help. And I hate it. Honestly working for the gods that forsake my every breath but we can't let ouranos win. He will take control of everything. Olympus and Earth. Then he will look down and begin to take control of Hades, then Tartarus and this place may be Hell in every sense of the word, but this is my home. The home of my wife and children. So don't think that its only you that has a grudge with the gods. Because I think I have a bigger vendetta than you do." 

And Luke, I could tell was absolutely done with my shit. But he better, than anyone understands where this is coming from.

"Okay, I get it. I'm in, just get me outta here." He says and stands up from where I was sitting. "I just wanna get top side and outta this hell hole." 

I raised an eye brow and let out a chuckle. 

"Oh you know what I mean." Luke said with the same amount of disdain as my eye brow.

"Yeah lets get you out of here." I walked over and put my hand out for a handshake. He took it. "Now, lets go." 

I opened a portal, shadows are awesome. We stepped through and appeared in the woods near Zeus' Fist.

Luke had tears dripping down his face as he looked up at the canopy and the sunlight shining through the leaves and branches, the wind singing through the obstacles that stood in its way. He couldn't look at it long for the sunlight was to much for his unused eyes. He looked at me with tears still seen on his face and a smile on his face. 

"Thank you." He whispered and rapped his arms around me. All I could do was the same to his in a very bro kind of way. 

"Your welcome, and Luke if you ever need anything I will do anything in my power to do that, I swear on the River Styx." The thunder rumbled in the clear skies. We pulled apart and we start towards the camp. I did not know how they would react, but if it wasn't grateful I am going to beat all of their asses. Before we hit the camp I conjured a pare of Ray Bands Predators.

We came by the cabins first, the look on Luke's face when he sees the many more cabins. Pure wonder. 

When we run across what I call an elder camper and he saw Luke and I he stopped dead and his jaw hit the ground. We payed him no mind as we made our way to the arena. I was planning to stop by Bianca and the kids. We made it there with no problem besides campers staring at us. One because I don't stop by all that much and I was walking with the former host of Kronos. It was the weather barrier that aloud me to wear my regular leather jacket and tank that now held, Welcome to the Black Parade.

Luke was dressed in the clothes that I had left for him in his room, a plain black muscle T and some black jeans that were contrasted with his cherry red converse. We walked the rest of the way with out that much problems and turned up at the Arena. 

And there they was Blue, Icarus and Bianca were there training what I could guess were between sixteen and eighteen. I whistled and she whipped her head to yell at a camper but imagine her surprise when she sees me. I put a smile on my face and kissed her. Obviously Luke knew and so did the campers but still some were gawking at the PDA. 

I didn't want to give up this moment but I had to. I broke the kiss and leaned over to whisper in her ear.

"We have our first general,"

I lean back and see her smile.
