Percy's POV
After everyone left, Gaia literally kidnapped me and took me to a random forest clearing with Clay and Ava.
"What are we doing here?" I asked, looking at Gaia and her children.
It feels weird to call them at.
"So you can practice your powers of course!" Gaia said excitedly.
"Gaia, I just woke up yesterday" I said.
"Its perfect them!" Gaia said "I need to help Ava and Clay anyway and Ava wanted to show you want she's learnt"
"Um...okay?" I asked.
"Why do you sound confused young one?" Gaia asked.
"Well, it was out the blue..." I said.
She looked at me confused.
"But there is no blue you got out of" she said, making me groan as Ava giggled.
"Not like that" I exclaimed "I forgot you're old"
"Excuse me!" she exclaimed.
"What I mean is you don't know modern sayings" I said, sighing.
"Anyway, can we get started please?" Ava asked, "Okay, bye!"
She grabbed me and dragged me onto the other side of the clearing. 10 meters away from Gaia and Clay.
"Woah, slow down Ava I-"
"Look, look!" she exclaimed like a little kid, forcing me onto a log that randomly appeared under me.
She closing her eyes and then a flower appeared in her hand, making me smile as she opened her eyes, pure joy in it.
"Yes!" she exclaimed.
"Good job!" I exclaimed "I'm so proud of you!"
She beamed with pride, making me smile and laugh.
"Has Gaia taught you anything else?" I asked as she celebrated.
"Yeah!" she said and moved her hand up.
Rocks from the ground came up and floated, making me smile.
"I'm a earth bender!" she exclaimed, making me laugh.
"That means I'm a water bender then" I joked, making her gasp.
"You know Avatar?" she asked.
"Yes, it was all I watched when I was younger" I said, making her giggle, losing concentration and the rocks fell onto the ground with a large bang.
"Ava! Be careful!" I heard Gaia yell.
"Sorry!" Ava said, guilt "Oh, I have something else as well, which mother said is rare and even she have trouble doing it"
She closed her eyes and lifted her hand up once again.
The earth from next to her moved up with her hand, making it act like water.
I could help but gasp.
Ava is definitely powerful, well, her mother is quiet powerful herself.
I noticed her grow pale, making me jump into action.
I quickly grabbed her as I noticed her slight hint of weakness as she fell into my arms.
"Are you okay?" I asked as I noticed the liquid earth fall onto the ground and returned to normal.
"I-I think so, just tired" she whispered, opening her eyes slightly, smiling weakly "Nice catch"
I chuckled as I pulled her to my chest.
"Gaia!" I exclaimed, turning to her.
She stopped what she was doing with Clay and noticed Ava in my arms.
Her and Clay immediately ran over to us, worried.
"What happened?" she asked.
"She tried to show me something and then she almost fainted" I explained "I believe she pushed herself too much to impress me"
Gaia sighed.
"Sweetheart" Gaia said.
Gaia turned to me.
"Can you heal her?" she asked.
I nodded slowly.
"I haven't used my powers in a while" I said "Well, used it a lot"
"Just heal her" Clay said bitterly.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to hold my annoyance.
"I can heal her but won't using your powers help her more?" I asked, opening my eyes and looking at him "Mine is of the night...your powers are the same as hers. I don't 'heal', I energise. I'm not sure what your powers are like but it would be better to heal her with something familiar to her"
Clay narrowed his eyes.
"Isn't your powers familiar to her?" Clay snapped, shocking me.
"Clay..." I heard Ava mutter.
"No" I said sternly "I have only used my powers in front of her once, I don't like using my powers"
"Why don't you-"
"Clay, can we discuss this later?" I asked, looking down at Ava, who was conscious and smiling at me "Your sister isn't well, us bickering won't help"
"No, it doesn't" Ava commented, her voice stronger "Clay, you or mother's powers are the best fit. Percy is right, his power will work, but it won't work as well as someone who shares the same power"
He mumbled a bit but walked over and hovered his hand over Ava, who moved slightly in my grip.
A green glow covered her and in almost an instant Ava literally jumped up, banging her head into my chin.
I jumped back, surprised as she gasped.
"Percy! I am so sorry" Ava said, looking at me.
"I'm fine" I said, chuckling as I rubbed my chin "Are you okay?"
"I feel so energetic!" she exclaimed "I've never felt so alive!"
I laughed, hugging her.
"That's good, you had me worried for a second" I said, kissing her on the forehead.
"Don't push yourself to impress your husband-to-be next time" Gaia said, making Ava and I jump apart and blush.
"Sorry mother" Ava said, rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly.
For some reason, my mind took that moment to flash to Order and Chaos and...Void.
And all the primordials that helped me.
"What happened to them?" I asked, making everyone look at me confused.
I turned to Gaia.
"The allies and...Order" I said, hesitating on Order.
Gaia sighed, smiling faintly.
"They are all okay, all doing what is asked of them" Gaia replied "Tartarus is finally getting used to me, Thanatos is very busy because of some virus, Hecate and Hypnos are finally recognised by the Olympians and have their own cabins at the camps, Apollo is acting like himself and standing up for himself, Erebus...is Erebus and Apate is still insane as ever"
"Order?" I asked, almost sounding hopeful he was okay.
I haven't seen him since I was in the coma, I still don't trust Chaos nor Void.
"Order and Chaos are ruling peacefully on Chaos' planet" Gaia said "Void kept his word and he is currently looked up until all three of them deem otherwise which might not be for a while"
Gaia smiled and put her hand on my shoulder.
"Relax Percy, everyone is fine, no one was hurt...only you were" Gaia said "Stop worrying about other people"
"You know my flaw" I said "I can't help it"
"What's your flaw?" Clay asked, curiously mixed with annoyance.
"Personal Loyalty" I replied "It has gotten me into trouble a lot"
"You think?" Ava asked, making me chuckle as I turned to her "You've saved my life, everyone's lives so many times"
"...including Order's" I whispered as I felt Gaia's touch remove from my shoulder.
"Percy? Are you-"
"You don't use your powers anymore okay?" I said, grabbing Ava's hands "Maybe you could watch me do mine? Since you actually don't know what I have"
She grinned, and ran to the log where I was before, which was only a few meters away. She sat down, her childish attitude overcoming her once again.
"We'll leave you to it then" Gaia said, narrowing her eyes at me.
I smiled innocently back as she sighed and walked off with Clay.
"Clay has never been that...harsh before" Ava said as I turned back to her.
"Don't worry Ava, he's probably wants to protect you" I said.
"Well if he wanted to protect me he won't argue with you!" Ava said as I walked to her.
"Ava" I said "How long have you known you've had a brother?"
"Um..." Ava started, thinking "Maybe a year or two, not very long"
"How would you react when your sister, who you never knew existed, fell in love with a complete stranger who is a danger magnet...and after only a few months of knowing each other are getting married" I reported, making her silent "He got you back only to get you taken away again...it's going to take time but he will adapt"
Ava nodded, looking over at her brother, who is practicing his powers, Gaia talking to him.
"He just can't lash out at you like that though, he should know you only just woke up from-"
"A lot of people think I'm strong enough Ava" I said, looking her in the eyes "That's the way it is in this world; I'm the great Percy Jackson, the Greek Hero with one flaw and someone who is always strong and will never let you down"
"Then they don't deserve you Percy" Ava said "You are human...the demigods and your friends should know that the most"
I sighed, not wanting to continue the subject.
"What powers do you have?" Ava asked.
"I have my birth father, Poseidon's power" I said "Which is everything water related, I am normally the strongest at that. I also have Nyx's powers as she adopted me...I have also been blessed by Athena, Aphrodite and Hera. Athena blessed me with intelligence, skills with any weapon, Hera blessed me with ability to block my mind and Aphrodite blessed me with charmspeak and in life threatening situations changing appearance"
"Wow" Ava whispered, "You're so cool Percy!"
I smiled and couldn't help but blush.
"The problem is I haven't used a lot of my powers in a long time frequently" I explained "Since I was around mortals a lot there was no point of using my powers...and Poseidon disowned me for a while-"
"Wait what?" she asked, confused.
I sighed.
"A story for another day" I said, putting my hand up, water almost immediately coming to my finger tips.
"Wow, thats quick" I commented as Ava gasped.
I smiled as I moved it between my fingers. I threw it up in the air and froze it, the ice shattering on the ground.
"That's so cool!" Ava said.
"Seems I haven't lost it" I said as I tried to summon my Nyx power.
And sure enough, in the palm of my left hand black, galaxy like mist was forming from my hands and disappearing like a mist as it fell.
"Woah!" Ava said.
"That's well done son"
I turned, the mist disappearing to see Poseidon.
"Poseidon" I heard Ava said.
"No need to bow" Poseidon said, chuckling as he came over to me.
He ruffled my already messy hear.
"You got the hang of your powers quickly" Poseidon said "Even your blessings"
I looked at him confused.
"How did you know about them?" I asked.
"Hera mentioned it one day while the mess happened over the last year" Poseidon explain "Zeus was getting mad that he couldn't get into your mind and she said she blessed you, as well as Athena and Aphrodite"
I nodded.
"I can sense your exhaustion" Poseidon said "You might not sense it yourself, but you need to rest up"
I looked at him confused.
"For what?" I asked.
"The Olympian court wants to see you" Poseidon said, making me pale.
Last time I check their brains were getting eaten out by Void's curse.
"As long as there's no l-lightening then I'm fine" I said, trying not to stutter.
"Do you think this is wise Poseidon?" Ava asked, hearing her footsteps behind me "He only just woke up and the events are fresh to him, wouldn't it cause PTSD?"
"I will immediately teleport him out when that happens, I'm not letting that happen again" Poseidon said smiling at me "I won't let you go that easily again"
I tired to smile but it wasn't forming.
I am not looking forward to tonight.
