Chapter nine (PA)

**Review Responses:**

**Guest 1: I update everyday, but there is one more chapter after this one.**

**Padfoot67: So you dislike my introducing a political element to it? Because the accords were a massive rights violation, illegal, and flawed. I had to point that out.**

**victorsan12345: Thanks.**

**NinjaFang1331: Thanks.**

**Guest 2: I wouldn't be too sure of that. Thanos and Percy are both blessed by Death.**

**Jaybird9876: Typhon is in Tartarus, the place, and had his power drained remotely. Sorry. If it helps then there are canon spells to drain divine power.**

**Ajacks1996: Yeah, Percy is highly cautious and distrusts Visions existence and the Civil War was the ideal time and excuse to take the Mind Stone. The Greek Gods were widely revealed after Percy's death, mentioned in the last paragraph of chapter three.**

**Puffgirl1952 the 2nd: I update everyday and have the story pre-written. There is one more chapter after this, but it may get continued beyond that with a retcon of the current epilogue. I've already got some ideas about continuing beyond that though.**

**The conmanw: Sorry, the story is pre-written and the actual harem will consist of two women, one on each arm. It may get expanded post Infinity War/Endgame if I like the potential offered, but chapter ten is the final planned chapter.**

**helpusobi1kenobi: First off, clever name. Exposing the flaws in peoples views, actions, and in laws/accords/treaties is essential to not only justify loss of support in-story, but to draw readers in, make them think, and maybe even change their minds too. The only story that I can think of is "Heroes Assemble" by Stargon1, which we both have favorited. I don't read a lot of crossover fan fiction for the MCU. I am writing an Harry Potter and MCU crossover where Harry is reborn as Tony Stark's son instead of being born like that the first time. Imagine an old man putting up with an overgrown man-child... it drives him mad.**

Percy had spent weeks invading alternate universes, gathering resources, and increasing his power. He now had seven copies of Mjolnir and three copies of Captain America's shield. Percy destroyed countless Asgardians after draining their powers, but among them there were four versions of Thor, Odin, Bor, a being who's power rivaled Odin's named Tarene, and countless other Asgardians. Percy was now several times more powerful than Odin... and now Percy needed a new being to compare himself too. As such, Percy wanted to be as powerful as a user of the Infinity Gauntlet... without it.

Percy had spent the last hour catching up on today's news and came across something very interesting... President Ellis was still denying the existence of the Raft and had even claimed that Percy was lying and that he was a 'well-known enemy of the United States of America who was trying to destabilize the nation'. Ellis was going to give a press conference in two hours, so Percy decided to crash it and ease the peoples concerns about their government. His course decided, Percy teleported to where the Raft was secretly located.

When Percy arrived, he dropped into the water, and quickly swam closer to the actual prison.

Percy quickly neared one of the entrances and landed on it, formed a protective dome, keeping water from entering, and then used his technopathy to open the entrance. Percy entered, closed the entrance back, and then let the water return to its normal place. Percy used his Super-Speed and cut loose on those vile assholes; Percy used his speed and fighting skills and disabled them all, using non-lethal force. Percy took the facility in less than thirty seconds, and had them all restrained two minutes later. Percy began looking through the computers data and found several damning protocols. Performing illegal human experimentation too, naughty.

Percy killed two hours compiling incriminating information and disabling a self-destruct feature and all of its redundancies. Percy used the codes that he got from the prison operators minds and made it surface, and teleported outside. Percy telekinetically levitated it up into the air and then flew under it, and when he was in contact with its bottom, Percy teleported himself, the Raft, and all the scum near the White House. Percy was glad that he now had his very own Percy-Force and had power surpassing Odin, Zeus, his father, and Hades. Percy was freaking excited! He had all of Odin's capabilities, knowledge, skill, and experience!

Percy appeared near the White House and saw the press conference, Percy augmented his voice and got started.

"Oh, Mr. President!" Percy said, flying closer and casting a shadow over the entire White House. "Do you Still wanna claim that I'm lying? Here is undeniable evidence of the Raft, the Raft itself! I also acquired a lot evidence of human experimentation! The permission to do so was personally given by Ellis and Ross! I'll be sending copies of this evidence to America's biggest news sources and even upload it onto the internet!"

Percy actually got some cheers for that, sweet. It was nice to actually be appreciated!

"Now, I'll leave this somewhere where everyone can see it. I'll let everyone know where they can see what their president had constructed to violate their rights, with their own tax dollars!" Percy said. "Impeach Ellis!" Percy yelled, before teleporting away and setting the Raft down where the public could all view it. Percy grabbed the prisoners and then teleported back to the White House.

"One more thing!" Percy said, augmenting his voice again. "These are the assholes who deprived people of their rights! I know, I know! They were just obeying orders, but so were Hitler's soldiers." Percy heard someone whisper 'Burn!' to one of their friends. "Anyway, later! Impeach the old guy behind the podium!" Percy said, causing some light laughter, and then quickly teleported away.

Percy spent thirty minutes delivering copies of the evidence to various news sources and then returned home.

"Have fun?" Natasha asked, already waiting for him, with the other Avengers with her.

"Yeah. I would have invited you all along, but I was the only who could pick the Raft up." Percy said, sitting down and beginning to upload all that evidence on the internet.

"We could have helped take the Raft," Steve pointed out.

"It took me thirty seconds to do that." Percy replied. "It was a sudden thing, he slandered me, and I wanted to humiliate and expose his crimes in return. So, I didn't plan it."

"You're not helping your case here," Natasha replied with a smile.

"Wasn't aware that I was on trial."

"You aren't," Natasha said, now realizing how that sounded. "We were just concerned."

"Well, I'm fine. I just had a moment where I reacted without thinking, but #ImpeachEllis is only growing in popularity, so it paid off. This should get him removed, and hopefully his successor will be anti-Accords and pro-Mutant and Inhuman rights. Earth has to become united, it would make survival far more probable."

"His term is almost up though. Why waste time on impeachment?" Sam asked.

"I want him to be the first president to be removed power as a warning. It would be a major humiliation to him and make future presidents more wary of repeating his actions. It's petty, but it would be a great win for the Anti-Accords people." The Avengers agreed. That would be great for the cause!

"So, what are you working on?" Sam asked.

"Planetary defense installations and playing around with the idea of expansion to the entire solar system. Sadly, I'll need way more funding to even consider acting on that. Earth needs allies too, of course, but I haven't found a way to research them yet. All I know is that the Kree, Shi'ar, Chitauri, and the Skrulls are all a huge no. We're at least a decade away from truly needing allies though, so I have several years to keep researching." Percy replied, even elaborating for their benefit. Percy was glad that he had actually designed the stuff ahead of time, and had actually researched that.

"Why a decade?" Pietro asked.

"Earth needs to be strong enough to defend itself, and by allying with other powers we would become enemies of their enemies. So, we would need defense capabilities and the ability to project our power. I'd actually prefer us to control the solar system first, but that's optional. The entire solar system represents a lot of resources and potential colonies. I've already mined several asteroids and I'm actually the richest man on earth; that's what's funding my R&D and the reason why I don't actually work. I'm mass-producing space fighters in automated factories for eventual demand. I currently have 300 of them. Thankfully, it is incredibly cost efficient and I'm basically doubling my investment, which I can eventually invest in greatly expanding my production capabilities."

"That sounds great. When can you start selling them?" Steve asked.

"When countries start getting serious about global defense. They would need a huge budget, at least one trillion total for a decent space defense. So far, only the NAM and European Union are serious about that. I can look into it, but I doubt that they can muster up enough money for a viable program." Percy replied. "I'll even make a scaled down version of my best space-station."

"We'll leave you to it, then," Steve replied. Everyone but Natasha left.

"Detected a few of my lies or half-truths?" Percy asked sadly.

"Yes, you are an amazing liar by the way. That shouldn't be such a turn on, but it kind of is." Natasha said. She really wanted to know, but wasn't going to ask.

"I've been studying alternate universes, looking for solutions to our problems. I've saved billions of lives today. I defeated evil versions of Thor and added their immense powers to my own. I've acquired several Mjolnir copies and have saved up enough power to ensure we are together for a very long time, by making you damn near invincible by transferring the physical capabilities of Thor into you. I'll enchant you, of course, so that you can control the new abilities with intent, need, and desire and get used to them." Percy said, causing Natasha to become excited.

"Now, I'm looking forward to my wedding night even more. I'm just glad your mother, Lady Aphrodite, and Lady Hera are doing most of the planning. I might even see if we can rush it..." Natasha hinted.

"I want you to have the wedding of your dreams, Natasha. Just take your time and enjoy it, we can always have sex for a week on our honeymoon. Or a month." Percy said, and that last part got a look of shock from Natasha. "With the stamina, regenerative healing abilities and durability that we'll both have, that would be very possible. In other words, I won't have to worry about breaking you."

"Funny," Natasha replied. "Why the secrecy from the others?"

"They aren't willing to do all that is necessary there. These are the threats that have to be dealt with in a permanent way, and are generally threats beyond what they could fight. We can't have sentiment towards people from our universe directed towards those threats that would capitalize on it. By the way, I'm a low-tier nigh-omnipotent now. Not sure what level I am, but it's way higher than Odin's." Natasha seemed understanding of Percy's reasons, and amused by his bragging.

"So, you're preparing for the next big threat and amassing a lot of power."

"Yes," Percy replied, before deciding to elaborate. "The only way to truly defeat the Infinity Gauntlet is too prevent it from ever being completed by protecting and hiding the Infinity Stones. I've appointed myself the protector of the Mind Stone and I have given it every protection that I can. Thankfully, the other known stones are well protected, and any vulnerable or as of yet unknown stones will need to be. Even with my current level of power, I won't have enough power to fight the Infinity Gauntlet, but I should be able to fight those with one or two of the Infinity Stones."

"Well, I'll leave you to it." Natasha said, before kissing me. "Be careful and if you need help, tell us."

"I will. I have a lot to live for and I fully intend to do so." Percy replied.

"You better," Natasha said playfully, before leaving Percy's lab.

## **July 20th, 2016.**

Six days gone and had continued to go well... The House of Representatives were finally drafting articles of impeachment for Ellis! Ellis would soon be removed from power, and once he was, Percy could begin working on pardons for all of the Avengers. Percy was pleased with this progress, but had decided to relax today.

Percy had finally finishing showering, doing some work, and checking his emails and other investments. Roxxon was being rapidly purged of all its dead-weight, illegal practices, and corruption, and was slowly improving its public image. Sadly, Percy was the one that damaged its public image and was now having to clean up his own mess, but Percy was mostly delegating and secretly inspecting his subordinates work. Fortunately, it was all going very well, and stock prices were already picking back up. His work completed, Percy went to check up on the wedding planning.

Percy arrived in the living room two minutes later.

"How's it going ladies?" Percy asked, seeing them all pouring over books and magazines.

"Natasha wants a very small wedding and wants to get married sooner," Aphrodite informed Percy, with obvious disapproval.

"Well, it's her special day, so..." Percy said, getting a glare from Aphrodite and Hera, and amused looks from his Mom and sister Estelle.

"All of Olympus must be invited, Percy!" Hera said. "You're incredibly famous and people want to wish you well. Your wedding will be the event of century!"

"Lady Hera, Lady Aphrodite, Mom, Estelle, I appreciate the effort that you're all putting into this, but I want it to be perfect for Natasha. It's her special day." Percy received more glares. "Can I see the guest list? That might reduce some arguments." Hera handed it to Percy grudgingly and with a slight look of dread.

"Lets see... No to Annabeth, Janus, Ares, Deimos, Phobos, Circe, Prometheus, and Hercules." Hera looked relieved that those were the only names that Percy said. "Honestly, I'd actually prefer to keep the guest list limited to people that we actually know and care about." That destroyed the relieved look. "That's still most of the council, though."

"I'm surprised that you didn't veto your former love interests," Aphrodite said mischievously, getting a raised eyebrow from an unamused Natasha.

"They've all moved on, so no drama there." Percy said, trying to halt any trouble.

"I don't know... It's hard to move on from you, Percy." Aphrodite said teasingly "You're just so 'gifted'... and you know how to use those 'gifts' better than almost everyone." Sally, Hera, and Natasha and Percy all glared at her while Estelle looked confused. "What? It's true." She added in amusement.

"Behave," Percy ordered, causing her to raise an eyebrow in challenge. They stared each other down, but Aphrodite gave in first.

"Fine. A smaller, more intimate wedding, but the essential deities will also be invited too." Aphrodite said in compromise, while Hera gaped at how easily Percy controlled Aphrodite. Natasha looked confused, so Aphrodite was more specific. "Like Hymenaios, the God of Marriage Ceremonies." Percy looked at Natasha, and she nodded in agreement.

"Great. Any other issues that I need to save you ladies from?" Percy asked with an amused smile.

"You have been invited to join both the Hellfire Club and the Universal Bank." Hera informed Percy. "I offered to hand deliver your invitation to both, Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost were both having difficulty finding you."

"Are they inviting Perseus Jackson or Perseus Aegaeus?" Percy asked nervously.

"Perseus Jackson," Hera replied in slight confusion. "They view you as someone who wisely capitalized on Perseus Aegaeus' actions and greatly increased his net worth in the process. They remain unaware of the fact that you are also Perseus Aegaeus. Why? Do you consider Shaw and Frost your enemies?"

"No. I just like their companies and want to absorb them. Shaw is vile and I have no problem with ruining him, but he might be a new enemy revealing himself. I'll admit, I most likely got on their radar in a big way. I do own 35% in Frost International and 35% in Shaw Industries now." Percy said to their shock. "I might even control Hammer Industries soon, I just need another 6% or just dump the stock."

"You've been working on that a while now, since Hammer went to prison actually," Hera said critically, before continuing. "I take it recent events have enabled you to acquire more shares?"

"Yes, I own 45%. I need to find someone to extort into selling me the last 6%. Once I get 51%, I can easily complete a 100% take-over and move into the final phase of my plan. Anyway, I'll agree to join the Bank and Club, but I'm not indulging in Hellfire Club parties. I'm engaged, and I don't drink, do drugs, or engage in infidelity without Natasha's blessing." Percy said, to Aunt Hera's slight approval. "The Universal Bank is suppose to be just a bunch of rich people trying to get richer, which I have no problem with."

## **July 25th, 2016.**

Life had continued to be great for Percy, his blood was now 85% ichor... messing with divine energy was burning away his mortality fast, but he had run out of divine targets. Apart from that wedding planning was going well and Matthew Ellis was now the first President of the United States to ever be impeached and be removed from power.

It was finally the night of Percy's induction into the Hellfire Club, and somewhat surprisingly, it was into the Inner Circle, the White King position. Percy had spent the last five days preparing and solidifying his hold over his new assets, and even began acquiring more with his profits and new funds from his exposure and war on crime. Percy had his recently acquired Kilgore Arms change the Sentinels that they were building and focus on better and more beneficial technology. The anti-mutant bigots naturally threw a tantrum, but Percy announced them being repurposed to detect aliens and destroyed all traces of the technology for targeting mutants as a precaution. Percy's announcement that he wouldn't support hatred, oppression, and genocide made him some enemies, but he didn't really care that much.

Percy calmly entered the Hellfire Clubs mansion, dressed to the nines, yet not to the point of rubbing his wealth in everyone's faces. As such, his suit was from Savile Row and cost under ten grand. That was quite sensible, considering Percy's level of wealth.

"Mr. Jackson?" A tall, buxom, black haired woman said, distracting Percy from his inspection of the building.

"Yes," Percy replied, politely.

"I'm Tessa. I'm here to escort you to where your induction will take place."

"Thank you," Percy replied.

"Follow me, please." Tessa said, before walking away.

Percy obeyed, and he even managed to avoid admiring her body while doing so. According to Percy's files, Tessa, or Sage, was a mutant with Photographic Memory, a computer like mind, perfect control of her body, perceiving genetics/DNA, and she was a telepath... Percy was quite curious about what her 'scan' of him showed her. Percy knew that he had unimagineable levels of power, he just wondered if she could see it all and his Demi-god status.

"Here we are, Mr. Jackson." Tessa said, leading Percy into a large meeting room.

"Thank you," Percy said, as Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost neared him. Percy noticed a light pressure impact against his mental shields and made sure to briefly glance around the room. There were fifteen suspects to disprove Emma did it; even if both Percy and Emma knew that she did. This explained why she looked so young, though. She was actually an elderly lady and was hiding behind a telepathic illusion.

"Welcome to the Hellfire Club, Mr. Jackson," Sebastian said, beginning to shake Percy's hand.

"A pleasure to be here, Mr. Shaw. I apologize for the difficulty contacting me, I was lying low after my acquisition spree."

"A wise move. You made quite a few enemies that were all eager to kill you." Shaw replied in amusement.

"A couple actually tried, but they won't be doing that again." Percy corrected, causing Shaw to smirk.

"I heard that Jones and Kilgore tried. Is that how both lost their controlling interests?"

"Of course. Avoiding life in prison was great incentive for them. I'm not sure why, but when I suggested that they might meet that special someone in prison, they quickly sold their shares." Percy replied, causing both Shaw and Frost to laugh.

"And what was your interest in mine and Sebastian's companies?" Frost asked. Shaw seemed to share her curiosity.

"I believe you both still control around 2-3% each of Hammer Industries from early investments. I'm willing to trade a 5% stake in each of your companies for that." Percy said, giving them a major profit in exchange.

"Deal," They both agreed, without hesitation. Neither of them wanted Percy gaining any more power within their own companies and Percy only seemed interested in using his shares in their company as leverage to get what he truly wanted. That and the profit made the idea quite palatable to them.

"Excellent." Percy said, before noticing the others arriving. Percy recognized several of them, the infamous Selene Gallio, Roberto da Costa, Harry Leland, and Trevor Fitzroy. "I take it that is the infamous Inner Circle?" Percy asked, amusing Shaw and Frost.

"Yes. Now let's induct you, White King." Frost said flirtatiously and grabbed Percy's arm, directing him to the proper seat, and amusing the others in the process. If she was claiming Percy for herself, then she was in for a very rude awakening.

"Well, let's get started!" Shaw called out, everyone immediately gave him their undivided attention. "We are here tonight to welcome Perseus Jackson to the Hellfire Club, as the new White King."

"Which I object too, again." Fitzroy said angrily. "He sent Pierce running and took over his companies! Pierce and I are far more deserving! He's not even one of us!"

"You mean a mutant?" Percy asked in amusement, getting glares or looks of shock from the Inner Circle. "What? Blondie gave you away when she tried reading my mind. Hothead over there," Percy said, pointing at da Costa who actually looked somewhat amused at the name. "Beat someone with super-strength while turning black. Fitzy there," Percy said, causing the others to chuckle and 'Fitzy' to become enraged. "Is a well-known thug, who can teleport, and he wears some lame ass and dorky looking battle-suit in battle."

Fitzroy let out a yell of rage and ran over and grabbed Percy by the neck... Fitzroy tried to absorb Percy's life-force, but failed epically. Percy easily broke Fitzroy's arms and then threw him back into his seat. Percy wasn't going to kill the asshole though. Percy refused to give the Hellfire Club any leverage over him by committing a crime.

"Out of curiosity, what is your mutation?" Shaw asked over Fitzroy's whimpers.

"Who said I had a mutation?" Percy asked in amusement.

"Tessa?" Shaw asked boredly.

"He doesn't have a mutation, but his DNA is heavily damaged and is partially non-existent," Tessa replied, getting looks of surprise from the Inner Circle.

"Rough childhood and hard partying," Percy lied.

"I can tell when you lie," Tessa replied.

"Can you tell when I'm horny?" Percy asked, amusing Shaw.

"No."

"Good. You might get uncomfortable if you could." Percy said, before winking at her and causing some laughter.

"Well, we can safely say that you are one of us now." Shaw commented with a smile. "Anyway, welcome to the Hellfire Club. The original purpose was to obtain and exert power through politics and economics, and we still do that, while working on other projects..."

"Any that you can mention?" Percy asked, somewhat curiously.

"We're waiting to see how this recent drama unfolds. Ellis is freshly impeached and we're all anxious to see what Donald Trump will do... we don't have high hopes, but are hopeful that things will improve for mutants in America. Already mutants are becoming more accepted and even Magneto seems to be exercising patience to see where recent events lead." Shaw replied.

"I'm more concerned about the anti-mutant bigots," Percy said, catching their interest. "They're most likely too blinded by their senseless hatred to unite with mutant-kind. They all don't really have nothing to whine about; homo sapiens aren't exactly all that impressive. Evolution is continuous and eventually mutants will be surpassed and replaced too and mutants probably won't complain as much about it." Percy said, causing some light laughter.

"I don't know... mutants are rather prideful," Selene spoke, having been admiring Perseus off and on for the last few minutes. "Not as much as gods though."

Percy immediately realized that she knew. "Or Sorcerers. They're more prideful and delusional, yet they often depend upon Higher Beings for power, and still strut around like they're the end-all be-all of existence. Poor delusional weaklings..." Selene smiled, but it was an evil smile.

"Welcome to the Hellfire Club, Perseus Aegaeus, Son of Poseidon and Hero of Olympus," Selene said. "I've heard a lot about your power and skill."

"Thank you, Selene, Hyborian Age Whore and delusional hag with a god complex," Percy replied, amusing Frost and Shaw. Selene stewed angrily, but she would find a way to punish that demigod for insulting her and perhaps even drain him of his power and life-force.

Trevor Fitzroy was interested in exposing or extorting Jackson, but would opt for extortion first.

The rest were indifferent and quite reluctant to cross Percy... he was extremely powerful after all.

Trevor Fitzroy, however, was a complete idiot. "That's a valuable secret that you have there... I bet the government or your enemies would pay big for a chance to humble you."

"Probably, yes. But I could just destroy the countries army, navy, and air force single-handedly. It wouldn't even be difficult for me. You'll find that I have few enemies left; they just keep dying on me and the ones who still live are afraid." Percy replied, but Fitzroy believed that he could always just kill Percy as a child or in his mothers womb. Percy had the powers of Kronos and could easily crush the moron.

"I want a billion dollars and my arms healed," Trevor demanded, causing most of the Inner Circle to sigh in annoyance.

"It's good to have dreams and goals, but with blackmail being the crudest form of cunning your chances are slim." Percy said, having already deactivated Fitzroy's mutation and gave him cancer, a lethal aneurysm, and a few other nasty little surprises. Fitzroy died with a gasp, while looking Percy in the eyes. Percy made a 'tsk' noise. "Cancer and a brain aneurysm... what are the odds?"

"Now I have another person to replace," Shaw said in annoyance.

## **August 18th, 2016.**

Perseus Jackson and Natalia 'Natasha' Alianovna Romanoff were now freshly married... having just been proclaimed husband and wife. Natasha decided that getting married on Percy's birthday would be for the best... they were giving each other gifts though. Each other. It was a romantic idea in Percy's mind. Plus he was unlikely to ever forget their anniversary that way.

"So... Mrs. Jackson, looking forward to the honeymoon and testing out your new stamina?" Aphrodite asked, causing most to smirk.

Percy gave Natasha the physical abilities of an alternate universe Thor... and Percy was looking forward to bedding his enhanced wife.

"Yes," Natasha replied in amusement.

"I'm looking forward to exhausting her or dying in the attempt," Percy said, winking at his new wife and causing some chuckles from the men.

"You're immortal," Poseidon pointed out in amusement.

"Yes, but I'm gifted at nearly dying. I'll eventually find a way to nearly die from sex as an immortal. Have some faith in my abilities, old man." Percy replied.

While Percy and Natasha were basking in the attention of their wedding day, Athena was getting to know her son Frank Castle... a son that she had conceived after being prayed too by a sterile couple. Athena was impressed by her son, but she also knew what Percy's game was. Percy had molded her son into an ideal heir for her war related domains and Frank was better than Annabeth... it was brilliant. Either Frank refused to become a god and hurt Athena, or he accepted and had his family resurrected and denied Annabeth any more power while in the process of humiliating her. Percy won either way and gained revenge over either or both Athena and Annabeth.

Frank accepted the offer of godhood, but only if they resurrected his family and made them immortal too. Zeus agreed and Athena knew that the other Olympians would too... Annabeth wasn't powerful or skilled enough to be Athena's heir and wasn't well liked either.

"Congratulations, Perseus," Athena said. "On both your wedding and your revenge."

"Revenge?" Poseidon asked.

"Yes, Poseidon. Your son managed to form a strategy that manipulated even me. Frank Castle was offered a place on Olympus as heir to my domains of strategic warfare, strength, strategy, city defense, skill, and battle. Percy helped him tap into his full potential and now Annabeth will be supplanted and resent me for this... and all while Percy's position and loved ones are protected. Well done, Perseus."

"I'm flattered that you think I'm that good, but this is all just happy accident. Annabeth being surpassed by her mortal sibling was the intended humiliation and that didn't require any effort on my part... Frank's just a badass." Athena rolled her eyes, but she didn't know how Percy did it yet. "But if you want to believe that I outsmarted you then that's fine with me, but I intend to brag about that alleged victory if you continue with your claims." Athena glared and then walked away.

"Well done, Percy," Poseidon said with a smirk.

"Yeah, I may forgive slights and even not seek revenge on most, but I don't forget them and Annabeth was fair game."

With both bride and groom eager to begin their lives together, they departed for their honeymoon.
