For Us Demigods

Winter Break!

"Does it now?" Percy laughed.

"Their powers are also way to specific."

"Is it?" Percy said.

"And well I know they're related in more than one way." Rick said. "I assumed for them it's fine to get married since the gods did too."

"R i g h t." Percy said.

"Here's where I need you." Rick said.

"You need me?" Percy laughed again. "What could you possibly need me for?" He said sarcastically.

"You're half Greek." Rick said. "Your father is Greek. Professor Jackson."

"Yes...?" Percy said.

"I need a translator. A sort of detective." Rick said. "I want to investigate the Army of Chaos. I want to learn about them. I want to know, and I want to-"

"-expose them?" Percy said.

"What?" Rick said. "No. Never. Not unless they want to."

"Really?" Percy asked again.

"My son is dyslexic, like yourself. But you managed to pass all these years. He is struggling. And he too have ADHD." Rick said. "But my son has this unexplainable interest in Greek Mythology. If this is true, and well, real. I think I can help him focus by telling stories."

"Honestly, I ran out of stories." Rick cringed.

"Okay." Percy said. "I'll see what I can do. I think my wife is better in Greek though."

"Okay." Rick acknowledged.

"I better go, now." Percy said awkwardly.

"Thank you Mr. Jackson." Rick said formally as he closed his laptop and stood up. He shook Percy's hand, and Percy walked out.

The moment Percy stepped out, he took out his phone and started to dial up Reyna. He took off into a dash as the other line picked up.

"Get me home!" Percy yelled instantly.

Thankfully, Reyna did what she was told and Percy immediately was zapped home.

"MAYDAY!" Percy screamed. "FAMILY MEETING OR WHATEVER, GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE!"

A thundering sound of footsteps came down the stairs. Everyone ran and went to the living room where Percy was pacing around.

"What is it?" Luke was the first to ask.

"Long story short?" Percy winced. "Rick knows what we are."

"Um." Leo said. "Who's Rick?"

"Right." Percy said. "Rick Riordan."

The demigods spluttered a simultaneous cough.

"What?!" They all exclaimed.

"He knows we're demigods?" Annabeth said.

"Well." Percy said. "He figured out AOC are demigods."

"And he figured out we're the AOC?" Thalia asked.

"Well." Percy said. "No."

"Percy you scared us!" Piper yelled.

"Sorry!" Percy sighed. "But he freaked me out."

"How'd you know he knows?" Jason said.

"Did he tell you?" Nico said.

"No Nico, I read his mind." Percy said.
