AN: Hey guys, I hope y'all are well. I don't really have that much to say, but I hope you guys are enjoying the story so far. This chapter is where the modern day stuff will start, and it will start with the Lightning Thief, and the OC Poseidon kid. Also, because I am not the best writer, it will take me some time to update, as this is where I branch off from Timeless Warrior. I didn't copy it, but I took inspiration because it was one of my favourite stories, so I'm sorry. Also, I'm sorry if the chapters are shorter, but I want them to be longer, so it might take me a little bit of time to pump them out. Anyways, please let me know what story you guys want next, and please enjoy this chapter!

Recap:

Hades looked at the demigod, eyes wide. "Gods no, I want you to save them." Perseus raised his eyebrows. "They are mine," Hades confessed. "Zeus wants to kill them, and he killed their mother. They've been dipped in the Lethe, I need you to hide them in the Lotus Hotel."

Perseus looked at the god, before sighing. "Okay Hades, but just so you know, you owe me a hell of a lot of favors."

Hades smiled at the demigod. "Thank you Perseus, I am forever in your debt."

Perseus took the children and vanished into mist, reappearing in front of the Lotus Hotel, leaving Hades to torture his son and daughter-in-law for the atrocities they committed. He looked at the kids, and gestured to the Hotel, nodding as the walked forward. As they walked, he felt sadness overcoming him, as the children were so innocent, yet had one of the most powerful gods trying to kill them.

As the children walked into the Hotel, Perseus disappeared into the mist, ready and waiting to stop another evil from the shadows.

Present: (January 2005, New York)

Perseus loved New York. It was bustling, and while the city was dirty, it was easy to find yourself at home. Perseus knew one special family had made themselves a home on East 104th street, one Sally Jackson and her son, Maximus, or Max for short. Sally named her son Maximus because it meant 'greatest'. While he might not be the greatest hero of all time, Sally knew he would be a great hero, and Perseus knew he would make sure Max would eventually become one.

Perseus discovered that Maximus was going to Yancy Academy, and went to check out the school. When he got there, he saw someone he never thought he would see again.

He walked into the school, and followed Perseus to his classes. He saw Mrs. Dodds, and knew she was a monster, but he didn't want to interfere just yet. When he went to Max's history class, he saw him. Chiron, or Mr. Brunner, was sitting in a wheelchair, teaching history. Perseus waited for class to be finished before walking into the classroom.

"Hello Chiron," he said to the trainer.

Mr. Brunner's jaw dropped as he looked at the demigod he thought to be long dead. "Perseus? I thought you were dead?"

Perseus smirked. "Well, I forced Apollo's confession, but he did it as a favor. I wanted freedom, and he granted it."

Chiron smiled. "Well, you were always very skilled. I assume you are still just as dangerous?"

Perseus chuckled. "Of course. Also, you know Mrs. Dodds is a monster, right?"

Chiron sighed. "Yes, but I am just waiting on her to make a move against Maximus. You know he is a demigod, right?"

Perseus nodded. "Yeah," he said darkly. "I know who is parent is too."

Chiron gasped. "You do? Tell me."

Perseus looked down. "Let's just say he's probably the child of the prophecy."

Chiron looked at Perseus, eyes wide. "He's...He's a son of Poseidon?"
