Percy's POV:
The gods didn't specify how long my vacation would last, so I took advantage of that. Now , don't get me wrong, I like spending time now with most of them, but I never really had time to mourn Jason and now I do so, I'm gonna do it with some of my vacation time mourning my dead boyfriend.
Time skip 3 years
I've  been away for three years and now I am 22 years old. I did mourn Jason properly and after that I realized that while I might be good sword fighting, I didn't really know how else to fight, so I signed up for classes all around the world. Pretty soon I mastered Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, Krav Maga, Jujitsu, and even boxing. "Gods," I thought, " Clarisse is gonna be so mad I didn't invite her to come with me." I also learned how to shoot a bow and arrow. I'm not the best, but thanks to Artemis's blessing I can shoot decently without accidentally impaling anyone. When ever I use a bow and arrow I use the one Artemis gave me. Now that I think about it, these past few years have been great. I mean, I also learned new languages. Some being Russian, French, Spanish, Romanian, Turkish, and many more. Maybe the fates don't hate me that much after all. I wasn't planning on going back home anytime soon, but the gods called me back, so of course I went.

When I got there they were all arguing as usual, but not as much. "Yes," I said.
"By Hades underpants Percy," Apollo said, "You scared us."
"You guys are gods, you can handle it, so what's up."
" We need you to do us a favor," Hermes says.
"Whats the favor," i question.
" You need to join the Young Justice League," Athena pipes in.
"The what?" I ask.
" The Young Justice League," repeats Athena, "You know the superhero teams that save the world from aliens and bad mortals."
"So, I have to join this team," I clarify, " Why?"
"Because Zeus's daughter is on the Justice League and she wants a protege."
"Okay," I say
"Really," remarks Hestia
"Sure, I've always wanted to be a superhero," I say.
"Okay, then Hephaestus will make your suit along with Aphrodite." says Athena.
"Thank you, Athena." I say
"Of course Percy," Athena says, " anything for you."
"You might want to go down to Camp Half-Blood, I imagine that they would want to see you after no contact for 3 years!" She is basically shouting by now. And not holding back. I cringe and see other gods doing the same.
"Of course," I respond, " I'm on my way there right now." So I make my way to Camp Half-Blood.
Time skip
As I walk past the border I pat Peleus, because well who wouldn't want to pet a dragon. As soon as I step into camp a camper comes at me with a sword and asks, " Who are you. How did you get past the barrier?"
" Hey man, chill out," I say, " I'm a camper." "Really, what's your name."
"Wow, you leave for three years and people forget you," I say jokingly.
"Who are you," he repeats.
"Hey, punk, who's at the border," A familiar voice calls out.
When she gets to the clearing I can see clearly who it is.
"Clarisse?" I ask hesitantly, " it's me Percy."
"Prissy?" She says shocked and the "punk" is looking even more confused. "Hey everybody, Prissy's back!" She shouts and 1 minute later every camper that I had ever known came running straight at me. I braced  myself for impact and sure enough 3 seconds later they all tackled me to ground. When I got up I said, "Hey guys, what's up?"
They just stared at me, got into a line and then one by one they all gave me a punch and then a hug. When the Seven came to me they all slapped me, punched me, and then hugged me.
"Where have you been?"
"What have you done?"
"Why didn't you IM?"
"Where were you?"
"You look just like you looked last time we saw you, except well, you look way hotter and more muscular."
I mentally sighed and then yelled, " Be quiet!"
Everyone immediately shut up. "I'll be in the pavilion explaining what I've been doing if anyone wants to know."
I walked into the pavilion and was soon met by Chiron. "Percy, my boy, how have you been." He hugged me and I said, " Hey Chiron, I'm explaining everything in the pavilion if you want to know." And I kept on walking.

Once everybody was seated I started to explain my story. By the time I was done everyone stared and then Travis Stoll said, " You're staying though, right?" And then continued, "Because we need our prank buddy back."
I could tell that everyone was waiting for my answer when I said, " Not exactly, I was asked by Wonder Women to join a superhero team." They looked sad at first, but immediately peeled up when I said "superhero team".
"Awesome!" They said in sync. I still find that weird.
"Well Seaweed Brain, what time is she coming to pick you up?" Annabeth asked.
I was about to say that I wasn't sure when a voice called out, " Right now."
A woman with black hair and electric blue eyes came in only to bow and say, "It's and honor to meet you Savior of Olympus, Perseus Jackson."
I could tell the campers wanted to burst out laughing, but they waited until I said, " it's just Percy." Then they laughed. She also looked amused. Then she said, " If you are ready we must leave as soon as possible, the league is expecting us back."
"Of course," I responded. I promised the campers that I would soon come back to spend a few weeks with them and on that note Wonder Woman and I left.
