DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS. IT ALL BELONGS TO MARVEL AND RICK RIORDAN.
When Percy heard that, he was cunfuddled. Camp Half-Blood? Sounded like a perfect place to hide cultist children. He sighed. "Ok, that's it. I guess even when chilling in the park, I can't get away from my *rolls eyes* hero complex. I have to liberate all of you, call the cops, my Dad, and my Mom to arrest all these cultists." He heard the girl, Alyssa, hesitate. "Um. . .this. . .isn't a cult. This is Camp Half-Blood. You said the gods sent you here after you were captured by Artemis, because you're a Gaea spawn?" She asked with an Italian accent. "If you want to believe the deranged druggies that named themselves after mythological deities, sure." He thought he heard thunder, but that couldn't be right. He would've heard it beforehand. The male, Theo, sighed. "Look. The gods can do whatever they want. And that includes, unfortunately, kidnapping people sometimes. Man, just. . .take a chill pill, alright?" He decided to humor them. "Ok. Go ahead. Try to lure me in with your friendliness. It won't work. and when I get out of here, i'm coming back with as many guns and military as I can. This is an illegal operation happening on American soil. . .we're still in New York, right?" "Yes," Alyssa sighed, "We're still in the Big Apple." He heard a horse come up to them. "Theo, my boy. Is this a new camper?" Another, yet again, ancient sounding voice boomed. Theo sighed, but before he could talk, I interrupted him. "No! I refuse to be lured in and brainwashed by this illegal cult. Which is operating on American soil, by the way. When I get out of here, i'll come back with the whole Agency of Homeland Security if I have to. This will not stand with the Mayor and the DA. Now, you followers gonna try to stop me? Or you gonna let me go peacefully?" He heard the man hesitate for a few moments. "Uh. . . I-um. . . I don't -" "Perseus Jackson, Chiron. Son of GAEA." Alyssa interrupted. "It's Percy." Said son of Gaea grumbled under his breath. "Ah, yes. The gods said he was a bit stubborn. Now, Per-" "Hold on. Who you callin' stubborn, jacka-" Percy was interrupted by Alyssa. "Oooookk, that's enough. Chiron, how about we get Clarisse and have her help us get him to Mr. D. ?" (__A/N: Alyssa has black hair, an Italian skin tone. Theo is literally Percy, but he likes green food instead of blue. That belongs to Percy, even if he can't see colors.__) "Where is this Clarisse? I doubt she'll be able to keep me from leaving. C'mon, where is she?" "Right behind you, Dirt Face." Percy heard a gritty voice like Ares' from earlier. He spun around. She had a calm heartbeat. "Oh. I suppose you're the person that's gonna keep me from getting out?" He asked, with a raised eyebrow. "Yes," she said, simply. Her heartbeat was getting faster. He was getting her angry. He decided to play the cocky routine. "Pppffff. Easy work. You don't sound like much. I bet I cou-" He was interrupted by Alyssa. "'Sound'? Why would you say 'sound'? Are you. . . blind? I bet Chiron could fix that for yo-" "No." He interrupted simply. The man on the horse, Chiron, said, "Are you sure? It's quite an easy fi-" "NO." Percy said, louder. Alyssa sighed, "Alright then. Chiron? Clarisse? Can we keep him in the Big House? If we let him go, Lady Artemis would surely kill him, right?"
"Heh. Let that egotistically feministic cultist bitch come after me. The only reason she beat me last time is because she doesn't breathe. At all. Weird. AND she snuck up on me. Freakin' coward." Percy heard thunder again. Huh. Weird. "Well, if no one's going to stop me, again, I'll just be on my way. Deuce-" "NOT so fast, my boy. Yo-" Percy interrupted."Do NOT call me boy. Ever. I may be 15, but i can still take on a platoon of swat. So don't bother trying to keep me here. It WILL NOT work. It'll only end badly for this. . . place."

Eventually, the followers got him to cooperate enough to explain the gods. He still didn't believe them, but he was starting to. He decided to just play their game, and wait for an opportunity to leave. He was at the 'Big House' Whatever that was. He heard the weird firework flash from earlier. He was immediately alert. Every time he heard that noise, something bad happened. "Hello." It was Artemis, the one who kidnapped him. He started backing towards the other end of the room. "Wait. I Would like to speak with you." "Denied." He responded. She sighed. He didn't know how she sighed, because she never breathed. "Look. I was just wanting to. . . apologize. . . for kidnapping you from your friends and family. So, as a peace offering, I am willing to have my brother, Apollo, come and heal you blindness." "No thanks." He responded. "You are. . . denying my apology?" She asked. "No," He shook his head, "Apology accepted. I just don't want my blindness to be cured." "O. . . K." she said slowly, "Then what DO you want?" "I don't know. . . . . .Oh! I know! Can you make me, like, a holy rag? One that won't chafe up my eyelids, perhaps?" "Oh. That's. . . simple and unique. Sure. . . um. . . Here." Percy heard a slight whoosh, and suddenly he had a blindfold that would go over his eyes. He felt it up and down with his hands. "It's silver, by the way." "Cool. Thanks, Artemis." He smiled at her. Unbeknownst to him, she was blushing a little. "I can also teleport you back to your family. IF you promise to fight for Olympus should the day come. And promise to come by every once in a while. Father likes to make sure his most powerful pawns are alive and sane." She rolled her eyes. "Ok." He made the oath. "Ok," Artemis sighed, "Well, that's it. Goodbye, Perseus." "It's Percy, but since you said that. Ok, goodbye Bambi." Percy said with a smirk. He was already teleporting, so Artemis couldn't do anything else besides say, "Why, you little-" She was cut off by her own power. (A/N:ARTEMIS AND PERCY WILL HAVE AN EVENTUAL SIBLING RELATIONSHIP. I ALREADY TOLD YOU GUYS, THIS IS PERSADIE.) And Percy heard his Mom shriek when he walked through the door. "Hey Mom." He said quietly. She was crying as she hugged him. His Dad was probably out arresting the bad guys, the LEGAL way, through court. "It's OK, Mom. It's OK. I'm back. i'm back."
