Our Future Kids (percico fanfiction)

CHAPTER 9

Everyone sat on the sand, again in two groups facing each other.

Leo was still fiddling with machine parts, Annabeth and Will were staring at the future kids. Piper was huddled up close to Jason attempting to warm up as the cold evening air began blowing. Nico was doing the same as Piper, and Percy was more than happy to put an arm around his now boyfriend.

Twelve pairs of eyes turned to Luke including Leo who wanted to know if the re-introductions would be slightly more important than his, 'essentially-very-important machine parts', in his words.

"What?" Luke asked. "You're the oldest right?" Piper started.

Luke groaned, "Oh come on! Why is it always oldest first? Why can't it be youngest first?" "Maybe because the youngest is more complicated than the oldest." Val mumbled, unfortunately everyone heard.

"What do you mean?" Nico asked tensing under Percy's arm.

"We'll explain later. Luke!" Helena said in a demanding tone, already tired of repeating herself. "Fine!"

Luke stood up in front of everyone. "I'm Luke Adrian Jackson and I'm sixteen. I am the oldest twin, which makes me the oldest of four. Um, I can control water, but I need a hell lot of ambrosia and nectar if I do. I can talk to the sea creatures, but not breathe underwater and I don't talk to horses or pegasi. I've been to camp half-blood since I was five, I think that's the same for all of us, and uh, that's it." Luke sat back down when Charles stood up.

Charles was about to speak when Annabeth voiced her thoughts. "Wait, four kids? There's only three of you, and you guys said three the other day."

"We'll explain that too." Charles replied, "I'm Charles James Jackson, also sixteen. I can breathe underwater but not necessarily control it. I talk to sea creatures and pegasi and horses. I might be the only other logical person in our group, aside from Helena. I sometimes like to read by the beach...around here actually, with Helena. And that's it, I think."

Piper smiled, "You're the perfect mix of Annabeth and Percy. " Nico frowned at Piper's comment. He was hurt, but he wasn't going to tell them that.

Helena stood up after Charles sat back down. "As you've already noticed, my brothers, Luke and Charles are named after what we call war heroes, because they died trying to do something good  or wanting to do something good. The same is said for me." Helena began.

"I don't remember anyone dying with the name Helena." Jason spoke up, "guys?" All the present teens shook their heads.

Helena gave a small smile, "My full name is Helena Zoë Jackson." Realization dawned upon the faces of Nico, Percy and Annabeth. "Zoë, the Artemis hunter." Annabeth said smiling sadly.

Helena nodded, "I'm fifteen. I can breathe underwater but not for a long time. I don't talk to sea creatures, horses or even pegasi, because I can't. I am the most logical one in our group as Charles said. And our parents are Percy Jackson son of Poseidon and Annabeth, um, Chase daughter of Athena, as you already know."

"Why did you stumble in saying my name?" Annabeth questioned. "We'll answer after the introductions." Charles replied gesturing for Joe to stand.

"I'm Jonathan Tristan Grace, but call me Joe. I'm fourteen. I can control a bit of the clouds and thunder and I can resist charmspeak. I can also do a bit of charmspeak, but it usually drains a lot from me. I'm the oldest of two, I have a younger sister, Pearl Emilline Grace, she's ten. Our parents are Jason Grace son of Jupiter and Piper Grace daughter of Aphrodite. My best friend is Val."

Piper and Jason smiled happily at Joe. Joe sat back down and Jamie immediately stood up, "I'm Jamie Landon Valdez, I'm fourteen. I love building anything and everything. I can control fire, but not as well as my older sister. Oh! I'm the middle child, I have an older sister, Esparanza Callie Valdez, she's fifteen. And a younger sister Chloe Camilla Valdez, she's ten. And I'm a ladies man, the ladies literally love me. This one time-"

"Okay! That's enough Jamie." Val interrupted standing up and forcing Jamie to sit down.

Val turned back to the present teens and took a deep breath.

The present teens now all sat up eager to know about Val, because ever since the future teens arrived in the past, she has been the most closed off compared to her other counterparts.

"Well, get on with it sister Satan." (A/N: reference to Legacies) Helena said with a knowing smirk.

Val turned to glare at Helena. "(I'm trying to be discrete here!)" Val whispered hushly. "You don't need to be. Go!"

Val sighed loudly turning back to the future teens. "I'm Valentina. Valentina  Cordelia Di Angelo."

"Just Di Angelo?" Helena provoked. "Right now?! Yeah just Di Angelo!" Val snapped.

"My middle name Cordelia means a lot of things." she continued calmly. "My papá chose Cordelia specifically for at least two reasons that I know off." she paused.

"Well,what are they?" Leo asked,  bored of all the pauses and waiting.

"In Welsh it means 'jewel of the sea'." All the present teens gasped.

"I guess you don't move on from Percy that easily." Jason commented to Nico who sat frozen in Percy's arms.

"What else does it mean?" Nico asked. Val took time to answer, carefully avoiding Nico's gaze.

"Valentina!" Nico demanded, sitting up from leaning against Percy. Val turned to Nico hesitantly, "'Daughter of the sea'."
