Alpha POV
When Annabeth came inside the house, her face was priceless. She looked like she had just won the lottery while getting true loves kiss. It probably had to do with the fact that our architecture was one of a kind on Planet χάος (A/N: Chaos in greek :P)
“So what do you think Annabeth?” I asked.
“Its amazing! Is all architecture on the planet like this? Also did you just say this planet is called Chaos?” Annabeth asked excitedly.
“Yes to both your questions. Chaos has her own architecture style she incorporates into the world. And in regards to the name of the planet I have no idea. It was named long before I came here.” Zoe answered.
“Plus we didn’t really try to come up with anything good. At least that is what mom tells me.” I added.
“Oh ok. So where are we going now?” Annabeth inquired. Always the questioning daughter of Athena.
“We are going to meet the rest of the team and your new family. Don’t worry they don’t bite.” Zoe said.
I saw Annabeth tense up nervously at the mention of the team and family so I decided to make sure she was ok. I whispered to Zoe, “Hey, I am going to go check on Annabeth ok?”
“Yea thats fine. Just remember your mine.” She said teasingly.
“Always.” I gave her a quick peck on the lips and walked over to Annabeth.
“Hey Annabeth are you ok?” I asked.
“I am just nervous about meeting your team and new family. I mean what if they don’t like me because of how I treated you?” She replied. When I looked into her eyes I could see the longing for acceptance and the hope of a new family, but I could also see the despair of being rejected.
“Hey they are going to love you ok?” I assured her. Annabeth gave me a small smile and I could visibly see the storm coming back into her eyes.
“Were here.” Zoe chimed in.
“You know you just sound like that creepy horror commercial…” I remarked.
“Yea I guess so, anyways lets go meet the team.” Zoe replied.
Here goes nothing, I thought. As we entered the room it quickly became quiet while the team marched over to where we stood. “Well team we have come back.”
“Its about time? What did you do, stop off for some dinner?” Bianca said.
“Maybe we did. You guys all know my stomach.” I cheekily replied. When I finished everyone started dying of laughter. “Anyway as you all know we have a new recruit so I would like you to please introduce yourself by stating your name, codename, and domains. Also, be nice.
Annabeth POV
“So any volunteers?” Percy asked. Only one hand went up and that was from a boy who was about 5’9-5’10. “Ok then you have the floor.”
“Hey Annabeth. You should probably remember me the easiest. Anyway I am Beta, God of fire and automatons. You probably know me better though as Leo Valdez.” Leo explained as he lowered his hood.
“Oh my gods LEO!” I was so happy to see him that couldn’t help myself from rushing forward and embracing him. “How are you here?”
“All will be explained afterwards but for now let the others introduce themselves as well. You might be surprised.” Alpha chuckled. “You know what guys just lower your hoods now then you can introduce yourselves one by one.”
As they all lowered their hoods I looked at them in shock. Standing in front of me was Luke Castellan, Bianca Di’Angelo, Silena Beauregard, Leo Valdez, and Charles Beckendorf. To say I was happy would be a understatement, I was estatic that my some of my good friends were standing right in front of me.
“Now Luke why don’t you start off and we will just go on down the line.” Alpha said.
“Ok so obviously I am Luke, but my codename is Omega. I am the god of the forgotten, and fallen heroes. Also I am sorry for everything that I put you through during the Titan war. If I could take it back I would.” After he finished he stepped back and Bianca stepped forward.
“You didn’t get the chance to meet me but I hope we can change that now. I am Bianca Di’Angelo, but my codename is Iota. I am the goddess of darkness, animals and the wild.” Again as she stepped back Silena stepped forward.
“Hey Annabeth, its me Silena but I am also known as Gamma. I am the goddess of peace, and true love.” Silena said.
“I already introduced myself but I am good ol’ crazy Leo Valdez.” I chuckled at his childish antics. He really hadn’t changed.
“Name is Charles Beckendorf but you already knew me. It’s good to see you again by the way. I go by the codename Theta. I am the god of metalworking and craftsmanship.
“You already met me with Alpha, but I am Zoe Nightshade. We never met but hopefully we can be good friends. I am the Primordial goddess of the hunt, animals, and archery.”
“Wait how are you a primordial goddess when all the others are regular gods and goddess’s?” I asked.
I saw Percy snake his arm around Zoe’s waist. “Well that is because she is my wife. Its one of the few perks of marrying a Primordial. Anyways I guess I should formally introduce myself. You know me as Percy Jackson which is both right and wrong. My real name is Alpha, son of Chaos, Primordial god of Elements, Creation, and Loyalty. I am the second most powerful thing in the universe, next to Chaos herself.” Percy explained.
“Damn Alpha, I knew you were powerful but I never knew you were this powerful, but this is beyond anything I would have thought.” I laughed.
“I know right!” Alpha chuckled. “Anyway, Zoe and I have to report back to Chaos again for something so we will be back later. While we are gone play nice!” And with that they walked out of the room.
“Ok now what did you do to hurt Percy so bad?” Silena glared.
“Please tell us. We need to know whether we can trust you or not. Bianca said.
“Um ok? But can I ask what is with the whole 180 in attitude?”
“We acted nice in front of Percy because we promised we wouldn’t make any quick judgments. Now get talking” Luke forcibly said.
“Ok well I hurt Percy by first accepting godhood while he was not even offered it. It meant we couldn’t be together but I didn’t think about that and accepted immediately. After that we didn’t see Percy for a while but I wasn’t thinking about that either, and so joined the celebration party that was taking place at Camp Half-Blood. Everyone was having a great time and got caught up in the moment. I admit I had a crush on Jake, and when he kissed me I kissed back.”
“YOU WHAT!!” Silena screamed. She lunged at me but thankfully Beckendorf held her back so she wouldn’t kill me.
“Anyway thats when Percy showed up and caught us. I tried to say its not what he thought when in reality it was. I had cheated on him and broke his heart. I went to talk to him but I couldn’t find him anywhere in camp so I went out searching. I naturally went to his mom’s apartment but then I saw the carnage there. His parents had been massacred and his mother was pregnant but her stomach was cut open and the child gone. I realized then that his entire life had been torn down around him and I fully realized what he had felt. I was able to locate him and teleport to his location but I arrived as a portal was closing. I broke down because I had lost my best friend and boyfriend at the same time and it was a large part my fault. When I returned to camp and explained everyone was distraught and none more than the seven.” I finished with a few tears running down the sides of my face.
“Ok so we know how you hurt him, which I hate you for, but why were you recruited? What happened?” Bianca said.
“Ok here it goes. It was just like any other morning at Camp Half-Blood.” I told them with a slight quiver in my voice. “I had just eaten breakfast and was on my way to my cabin when I was summoned to Olympus. I thought my mom just needed to talk to me but when I arrived I saw all the Olympians and the remaining seven there. When I asked what was going on I was told that I was going to be executed for being a spy for Gaea in the last war. I protested naturally as I had fought against her but apparently they believed Jake Mirando more than me. He claimed to have seen me talking to Mother Earth. Realizing I would never make it out alive without a plan I threw my invisibility hat on and ran. Once I was outside the council room I teleported to my cabin and packed a bag. Realizing I would never be able to come back I packed ambrosia, nectar, human currency, drachma’s, my dagger, and a drakon bone sword that I obtained while in Tartarus. After I was packed I teleported to San Francisco to find my dad. As I neared his house I could tell something was wrong because I could smell smoke and hear sirens. I prayed that my father and brothers would be ok but when I arrived upon the scene all I saw was a burnt down house. Immediately I went up to a police officer and asked if there were any bodies and he said that there were 4 bodies burnt beyond recognition, a male, female, and 2 children. At this point I had lost everything, my family, friends, and home had all been taken from me. After that I was on the run. I tried to escape the Olympians but no matter where I went either demigods, monsters, or the hunters would find me. So I was unable to fully escape, even when I went to Alaska. I had been on the run for 3 months when Percy and Zoe found me in Maine. They offered me a position in the army and I took it. Now were here.”
As I looked around I could see the members of the Elite team searching for any sign of lies. Thankfully Leo came to my rescue. “She is telling the truth guys.”
“I agree with Leo. If she was lying we would know, especially me.” Luke said.
“Ok well in that case welcome to the Elite team. Were the fun ones in the army.” Bianca chuckled.
“Thanks. So what do we do now?” I asked.
“Well right now we were about to head to the rec room to hang out if you want to come with.” Silena said. Thankfully she had calmed down but I feel she was still upset for me breaking up with Percy.
“Sure lead the way.” I said and with that I left with my new team and family to hang out.
Alpha POV
“Hah beat you.” I said to Zoe.
“Only by a little. I will beat you one day.” She replied.
“I look forward to it.” I said with a smirk. “Anyway lets go see what mom wants.”
As we approached the doors swung open like they always do. I always thought that was cool. When we entered I saw my mom at her desk finishing some paperwork.
“Hello Lady Chaos.” I overemphasized with a smirk. “What do you need?”
“Oh enough with the lady! I am your mother plus it just mades me sound old.” Chaos said annoyed. “Anyway you are getting another recruiting mission.”
“Is this my birthday or something because I just got 2 of my favorite kind of mission in less than 24 hours.” I cheered.
“No, but this will be another special one. You are to recruit Rebecca Starfly, your sister.”
“Thats amazing!” I exclaimed until I realized something. “Wait how is she my sister? Only if you had her would she be.”
“She is the daughter of Poseidon. Plus I plan on adopting her as she already looks up to you as a big brother and she too has no family, as even the other Poseidon children have turned their back on her.” Chaos explained.
“Ok, so when do I leave?” I inquired.
“Right now. Your data-slate has been updated with her location and look.”
I turned to look at my data slate and sure enough there was her information.

“Ok so I will be on my way but first why is Zoe here if it is a solo mission?” I asked intrigued.
“Don’t worry about that just get going.” Chaos answered.
“Ok I’ll see you guys later.” I added and with that I teleported to Long Island.
Zoe POV
“So what do you want to talk about Chaos?” I questioned.
“I just wanted to ask why you haven’t told my son the good news yet.” She retorted.
Oh shit did she know? I thought.
“What do you mean? I stuttered.
“Don’t try to hid it from me Zoe. I know you are pregnant with my son’s child. And as to how I know I am the most powerful being in the universe, plus I am also a mother so I tend to know these things.” She smiled.
“I’m sorry. I am just worried about what Alpha’s reaction will be.” I sighed.
“It’s ok I just feel you should tell him sooner rather than later. Anyway thats only part of the reason your here. The other reason is you too have a solo recruiting mission.”
“Well who am I recruiting?”
“You are to recruit a girl named Ivy Lynn a daughter of Hecate.” She said.
“Why am I to go alone?” I asked.
“That is because she was abused by men and distrusts them immensely.”
“Ok, I will head out immediately. Is my data-slate updated?”
“Yes you will find the details in their.” Chaos finished and then teleported away.
