~later that day (7pm)~
Percy/Luke's POV
Everyone has finally left my apartment, making me finally embrace the silence.
Andy has been getting calls all day from people who want interviews, which is good for the both of us.
"Luke"
I turned to see Andy standing behind me.
"I thought you would have gone home by now" I said, sitting on my couch.
Andy sat next to me.
"I've had many phone calls today, just finished the last one" Andy said.
"Sounds stressful" I commented.
"You're a very popular man Luke" Andy said.
There was an awkward silence between us.
"The studio has finally agreed to do a limited edition album" Andy said, making me smile.
"Yes!" I said "I know the songs on there will become hits"
"And they finally realised that" Andy said "So the same album with 'Hourglass', 'Zombie' and 'Save Me'?"
I nodded.
"Yep" I said "And is the approval for the music video coming?"
"Depends on how well the songs go" Andy said "But at the moment, 'Alone' and 'Nightmare' are the top two"
"I would like one maybe for 'Hourglass' and 'Zombie'?" I said "Since 'Hourglass' is my favourite song and 'Zombie' is about a very important topic"
He nodded.
Another silence went between us.
I noticed his uneasiness.
'He's uneasy...he's hiding something' Order said in my head.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Andy sighed.
"I have good...news" Andy said slowly.
I rose an eyebrow.
"We found Luna and Nyx"
I gasped, widening my eyes with shock.
"What?" I asked.
"Apollo and I found Luna and Nyx" Andy said "They were in Alaska"
"Of course that should be the first place people looked" I muttered to myself before saying "Did you see them?"
Andy smiled warmly.
"I did" Andy said "Apollo couldn't go there himself but I got there and they were very happy to see me. They said they were...sorry for leaving you..."
I looked down.
They left you all alone
They don't care about you
I shook my head.
"...and they want to come back" Andy said.
I snapped up and stared at Andy with shock.
"B-But the Gods" I stammered out "They would-"
"They know" Andy said "But they realised their mistake and want to come back"
"So it takes them this long to realise that? That their son, brother needs help?" I asked softly.
I felt Andy's hand on my shoulder.
"They left because they don't want you hurt, or them hurt and you to suffer even more" Andy said "Understand this Percy"
They don't love you
They're using you
Who would want a mistake?
"So? Do you want them to come back?" Andy asked.
I looked down.
I want them to come back...but they could get hurt.
'And even worse, Luna will immediately know I'm in you as she has been a previous host. She could get dangerously hurt and risk both of our safety' Order said 'Do you want to risk that?'
I sighed, feeling tears roll down my cheeks as I made my decision.
"No" I whispered.
"Did I just hear you-"
"No" I said louder, looking up at Andy "They could get hurt Andy, and I don't want that responsibly on me..."
"They won't, they will be protected-"
"By who? By me?" I asked "You know well I'm not mentally well at the moment, frankly is getting worse. I'm the last person to protect anyone at the mo-"
"Percy!"
I turned around to see Apollo, who was not smiling like normal.
"What?" I asked sourly.
"The gods...want to see you" Apollo asked.
"About?" I asked.
"About everything I guess, I haven't been told a lot" Apollo said "Mainly about Order hosting you"
Andy and I groaned at the same time.
"Really this again? Have you told them its the Jason boy's fault for all of this and it is his-"
"Yes I have but they don't listen to the 'care-free, unserious god'" Apollo said, cutting off Andy.
"As his manger and protector from Chaos, the primordial of Creation I will not allow Luke to leave" Andy said "He is not mentally here"
Apollo looked at me, like he was staring right into my soul.
"I can sense that" Apollo said, looking me up and down.
I immediately held my wrists, making Andy looked confused between us.
"You know I can give you-"
"You know I will NEVER take it Apollo" I replied, cutting him off "It changes people and I-I-I don't want to change"
Apollo sighed, defeated.
Andy turned to me.
"Wait, you haven't taken your pills-"
"That is another conversation for another day" I said "Let's go and get it over and done with"
"Percy, this is dangerous for you" Apollo warned "If anything triggers-"
"I know Apollo" I said "I'll be fine"
'I actually agree with Apollo, this is dangerous for your mental health and the risk of snapping at the gods and revealing...us' Order said.
"Percy, for Chaos' sake, please listen!"
I snapped my head to Andy.
"Why would you want to go Luke? The last time you were there you died!" I complained.
"I know Percy!" Andy suddenly snapped "I know! But we all have to face our past at some point!"
I stared at him in shock.
He sighed.
"Just promise me Percy...if they....annoy you, or they trigger anything, immediately teleport out and Apollo and I can handle everything else...okay?"
I looked at Andy.
"I will, I promise Luke" I said.
His stern look soften.
He nodded at Apollo.
"Okay, let's go" Andy said.
And Apollo flashed us both to Olympus.
~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as I got there, I knew there was something wrong.
Everyone was quiet.
No arguing, no yelling or screaming.
Silent.
Everyone looking at me.
I noticed not only the gods were here but the demigods.
Well the rest of the seven and the old band.
And Jason was smirking evilly.
'Is there any chance Jason is controlled by...anyone?' I asked in my head.
'Maybe...I'll keep an eye on him' Order said.
'He definitely is' Apollo said in my head as he walked to his throne and nodded at his father 'My powers are on alert around him'
Andy and I looked at each other, as the gods just stared at us.
I looked back at Zeus, who was glaring at us.
"Bow Per...Luke...Andy" Chaos said softly.
I bowed, Andy following me.
"What have you called me for?" I asked as I came back up.
"There have been...news that Order is indeed alive and you are helping him; is this true?" Zeus asked.
I sighed.
"No" I said "Why would I help the person who destroyed my life?"
'Ouch' Order said.
'For the better' I added in my head.
"It is just my son saw your eyes turn purple when you were angry" Zeus said.
I rose an eyebrow.
'Why do they believe him?' Order asked.
'He's the son of the king of Olympus and was a hero' I said.
"As I said to him, my eyes change colour of anger; it is a side effect" I explained "You can even ask Apollo, he can confirm it"
'There is also another side effect I haven't told you' Order said.
Everyone turned to Apollo.
'Wait what?' I asked, confused 'Why haven't you told me? I thought we were truthful to each other'
'Because I haven't thought about it until now...until Apollo brought up not taking your pills'
"That is true" Apollo said, looking at me "There are some things we found out in his one week of isolation"
'And?' I asked.
'My powers effect the pills, so no matter what, no pill even made by Apollo, can...cure your depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts' Order explained
I widen my eyes.
"Like?" Poseidon asked.
My birth father snapped me out of my thoughts.
I looked at him with amazement.
This is the first time I've seen him since the incident.
'It seems you still care of him'
'Shut up, that's enough out of you for the moment'
Apollo sighed.
"His eyes change colour with powerful mostly hateful emotions" Apollo started "His powers are greatly effected, leaving him not being able to use them...and his emotions in general..."
"Are?" Annabeth asked.
I took a deep breath.
"I'm depressed and suicidal" I said calmly, making everyone turn to me "Again but worse than before; and no pill can help it"
Everyone, including Apollo and Andy, looked at me with shock.
"When did you found that out?" Apollo asked.
"Not important" I replied.
'Order' I replied in my head, hoping he was listening 'Order decided to leave it until now to tell me'
'I'm sorry okay! It slipped my mind'
'Slipped your mind?!?' I exclaimed
"Percy"
"Don't call me that- oh hey Andy" I said, noticing it was Andy who called me Percy.
He rolled his eyes.
"Focus" he said.
"Sorry, ADHD am I right?" I asked, trying to joke.
He smiled slightly.
"DON'T AVOID THE TOPIC!" Jason yelled, making me jump "I KNOW HE IS HELPING ORDER!!! HE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A TRAITOR!!"
I looked at him.
"Order has passed" I said "I saw him disappear in front of me...don't you trust me"
"NO!" Jason yelled.
"Jason, enough!" Piper said.
Jason glared at Piper but stayed silent.
They're obviously civil again.
"It was also brought up by Chaos himself" Zeus said, making me look at the Primordial in the background "That you are leaving for Los Angeles? Is this claim true?"
"Yes" I answered, confused to why they are asking.
Everyone but Apollo, Chaos, Andy and I gasped.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Annabeth asked.
"Because it was only confirmed recently and it slipped out as Jason was threatening me" I said sourly.
"THAT IS NOT TRU-"
"This is to help his career as a songwriter...Lord Zeus" Andy said, noticing the pain in his voice for saying 'lord'.
I almost laughed out loud.
"And was it approved?" Zeus asked, sounding angry.
"Last time I checked you don't need to approve anything I do" I snapped.
Zeus narrowed his eyes.
"Well you work for u-"
"I don't work for you anymore nor I ever live" I snapped, narrowing my eyes "I am above you"
"HOW DARE-"
"Let me finish Zeus" I said, walking towards the thrones "My time is towards my career in music, not to you. You have other...heroes to use over and over as your pawns"
"We have another prophecy" Athena said.
"Which you will help us with boy!" Ares said.
I almost snapped with anger.
"I am NOT your toy to play with!" I said angrily "Because of you guys I am the broken man I am today, because of you my MOTHER and SISTER are MISSING!"
"They are the enemy!" Jason said.
"They are NOT!" I yelled "Nyx was the one who was the first to stand up against Order, and Luna was a wounded solder in the fight! It's not her fault Order controlled her for 6 years!"
"Calm down Luke" Andy warned next to me.
"You will help and that's a final!" Zeus yelled.
"Brother-"
"Enough Poseidon! I am the king!" Zeus said, cutting my birth father off.
I laughed, making everyone look at me.
"I was standing here, thinking you've changed...but of course you haven't! You are still the same ignorant, selfish gods you are!" I said "I am done with the Greek world! I'm done with the games, I'm out and besides..."
I deliberately let my eyes flash purple, and smirked.
"...why would you let a former villain help you?"
"Luke" Apollo warned.
"Why would trust me?" I asked "I've been the 'villain' for what? At lest 6 years?!! Why trust me now? Is it because I'm 'good' now?"
They stare at me with silence.
'Um...your eyes are clearly purple now...' Order said.
'I know' I replied in my head 'I want to get my point across'
"PERCY!"
I 'snapped out of it', jumping and looked at Apollo.
"Yes Apollo?" I asked, smiling slightly.
I saw him roll his eyes
"Stop messing with them, you're scaring them. You've had your fun...come on" Apollo said, flashing to me back to my apartment.
