Please, call me Percy.
Percy's POV
Atlantis
Percy knew the moment Orin materialized out of that Zetatube that she should have never agreed to do this. Great, there is no going back now...
" Are you really to go now, my Lady?" Percy frowned at the title.
"Yes, I am, Orin. And no need for the formality. I'm just a regular teenage girl." Percy said
Percy is dressed in the suit Hephaestus had made especially for her. It's a plain black bodysuit with a sea-green trident on her right arm and highlights running along the sides of her body. The suit also has a hood and utility-belt that consist of a pocket with an endless amount of ambrosia and nectar, two daggers, and a small container full of water. The container wasn't very necessary, just for emergencies. Percy had gotten better at controlling her powers, and with the blessings of all the Olympians(we'll talk about this later), she is more powerful than ever before.
Percy took a deep breath and put on her domino mask. Smiling up at Orin, she said: "I'm ready, let's go." Orin typed in the code and together they stepped into the Zetatube...
Third Person POV
Today is the day, that mysterious Persephone Jackson is joining the team. Diana stood with them in front of the Zeta tube, ready to greet the newcomer. Aquaman had already left to get Persephone.
"Recognized, Aquaman-03, Guest B23." The computer announced.
The tunnel glowed and out step Orin and the supposed 'terrorist'.
"Percy, I would like you to meet our protege. Team, this is Persephone Jackson, your new teammate."
Persephone stepped forward, she was wearing a black and sea-green bodysuit with a hood over her head and a domino mask. On her right upper limb was a sea-green trident. On her waist were utility-belt and two daggers.
She grinned at them and Nightwing couldn't help but smiled a little. She seems to have this easy-going air around her that just drawn you in. Then Wonder Woman stepped forward and hugged the girl.
"Hello there, Percy. It has been a long time since I last saw you, how's everything?" Percy's smile saddened a little.
"I'm doing okay, cousin. Same with Nico, Reyna, Thalia, and everyone else..."Diana put a comforting hand on Percy's shoulder and spoke in a different language.
"Δεν φταίς εσύ. Ο θάνατός τους έχει αποφασιστεί από τους Fates, τίποτα που κάνετε δεν μπορεί να το αποτρέψει. Μην κατηγορείτε τον εαυτό σας για το θάνατό τους." (It's not your fault. Their death has been decided by the Fates, nothing you do can prevent it. Don't blame yourself for their death.)
Percy replied in the same tone, "Ξέρω, ξάδερφος. Αλλά αν ήμουν πιο γρήγορος ..." (I know, cousin. But if I have been faster...)
Diana hugged Percy again and turn back to the team who all stood there unknown of what to do. "Have fun, guys." And she and Orin left through the Zeta Tube.
That leaves the Team and Percy in silence.
"So...it's Persephone, right?" Miss M said, trying to break the tension.
Percy gave her a lopsided smile and said, "Please, call me Percy. Only those who wanted to kill me call me Persephone."
"Okay then, Percy. I'm Miss Martian, but you can call me Megan." She gestured to the members around her and introduced them one by one. " This is Connor or Superboy. That's Wally, Artemis, and Nightwing." Percy smiled at all of them.
"Nice to meet you all." She said.
" What's your code name, Percy?" Artemis asked, already curious at this new girl whom both Aquaman and Wonder Woman seemed to have known for a long time.
"Riptide," Percy said with an amused look in her eyes. "Can you guys tell me where my room is? I liked to get settled in first."
"Yeah, sure thing."
-----Time skip and back to Percy's POV------
Percy flopped down on her new bed and sighed heavily. Meeting the team just brought back the old and painful memories of her six dead friends. Soon, her eyes became misty and she sobbed quietly. Percy thought back to her last days at Camp:
...
They won, but with a heavy price; bodies of friends and families lay in all directions. Percy stood paralyzed in front of the cold figure of Annabeth, her best friend since she was twelve. Tears fall silently down her cheeks as she peeled her eyes off of her best friend and looked towards the others. Jason lay on his side with a broken spear through his ribcage, Piper lay over him with a sword through her back. Hazel were been propped up against a tree, her golden eyes stared blacky into the distance, the lights in them long-gone along with her soul. A broken pouch with ash spilling out of it lay beside her and Frank's body was six feet away from his lifeline. Leo's body was nowhere to be found, he had died saving the world, he sacrificed himself to help take down Gaia. They were all heroes, heroes who had given their lives to save the world from destruction. They needed to be honored and remembered.
Then suddenly, Percy was no longer on the battered fields of Camp Half-Blood, she was on Mount Olympus, Nico and Thalia stood beside Percy.
"Nico di Angelo!" Nico stepped forward and knelt before his father.
Hades smiled down at his son( a rare thing for him to do) and said, "You have done well, my son. I give you the honor of becoming the lieutenant of my army, do you accept my offering?"
"Yes, father."
"Then rise, lieutenant and commander of death." Nico rose and a black aura can be seen around him.
"Thalia, my own daughter." Zeus's voice boomed across the sky as the lieutenant of Artemis knelt in front of him.
"For your service in defending the Camp, I grant you aid in finding new huntresses to fill up the losses that had died in the war."
"Thank you, father."
Artemis smiled at her lieutenant, " You have done well, my lieutenant."
"Thank you, my Lady" The huntress bowed and stand beside Percy again.
Finally, it's Percy's turn.
"Persephone Jackson!" Poseidon called and Percy knelt in front of the god of the sea. Poseidon smiled at his daughter with pain in his twinkling eyes.
"You have done a great service for Olympus, my daughter. We grant you the opportunity of becoming a goddess, do you accept it?"
"No, father." Poseidon nodded knowingly.
"Then we would grant you three blessings, choose wisely, do not wish for the dead to be brought back."
The light dimmed a little from Percy's eyes but she spoke anyway. "First, I wish for the thrones for Hestia and Hades on Mount Olympus," Zeus grumbled but snapped his fingers and two new thrones appeared out of nowhere.
"Second, I wish for a place specially built to house memorials for all the past heroes who had done great things for this world." Another snapped of fingers.
"And that is all my wish..." Percy concluded.
"You still have one more, Percy," Poseidon said gently. Percy kept silent, not knowing what to wish for.
"Since you don't know what to wish for, we are going to give you our blessings," Zeus announced. and lights of all different colors filled inside Percy, each representing a different god. And with another flash, they are back in Camp Half-Blood.
"Come on, we have much to do..." Percy whispered to no one in particular.
...
Percy's cries subsided and slowly she drifted off into sleep.
