"Who are they?" Uncle Simon Asks. I pause wondering how to answer.
"Well, These are some Distant relatives On my Mom's side," I tell Him. He looks mildly shocked for a moment and then his expression smooths into a businessman-like smile. I guess he's going to go the friendly weak uncle route since he knows that they are powerful even if they look like a couple of kids.
"What are they doing out here the sun has set shouldn't they be getting home?" He says. That makes luke let out a dark cynical chuckle. Uncle Looks Confused by his expression.
"Uncle Simon Most children like us have issues with their families," I tell him. " Plus Monsters usually come for Us like what happened in Canada so it usually isn't safe. I'm a bit of a special case because dad Monsters can't smell me but these guys have been hunted and are probably just looking for a safe place to rest heading toward the camp in new york where they can be semi-permanently safe."
He shows a set of depressive emotions at my explanation of their situations I look at Annabeth, Grover, and Luke who all look a bit envious when I Say monsters Can't smell me. We hear A blood-curdling howl From The woods behind. All of us react except for Uncle Simon. He still can't see through the Mist naturally I'd have to Thin the mist around us if a monster attacks so he doesn't get himself hurt.
"Grover follow me with Thalia let's get out of here before whatever following you shows up," I Yell at Grover.
"Why should we trust you?" Luke asks me aggressively holding back Grover from moving forward. annabeth moves forward already moving only a few feet away from me.
"Do we have a Choice?" Annabeth says to Luke rolling her eyes like he was stupid. We make our way to the SUV
He gives out a deep sigh and helps Grover with Thalia. They put Thalia in the back Grover Riding next to her. I'm between Luke and Annabeth Luke is Gripping his sword like it's his lifeline and Annabeth has taken a book from her backpack on architecture.
About Five minutes in I turn to Luke. I grab a couple of things from my magical jacket pocket as my powers with shadows grew I found I could Manipulate the size of the pocket Right now I could effortlessly make the pocket have as much space as a backpack. I pull out a couple of bottles of water and pass one to Annabeth then to luke then throw one to Grover. A few small bags of chips and some beef Jerky. Annabeth looks at me with wonder in her eyes. Luke looks shocked. Grover gives the jerky a dirty look and then drinks the water then starts to eat the bottle.
"Sorry about knocking thalia out I really wouldn't have done it unless it's necessary," I tell them. Annabeth nods as he raises a few chips to his lips. Luke looks a little angry but doesn't comment.
"so you guys are heading to Camp- half-blood Right?" I ask. Even though I do know.
"how do you know that?" Grover asks. I smirk at him.
"One of the Minor Gifts From my Mom See the future a little Thats also why I know your names," I Tell him. It will make it a lot easier for them to trust me that way. Plus the Fates already have it out for me so who cares if I tell a lie. That relaxes Luke to a Degree I bet he thought I was a hidden God I mean there are lots of My half Siblings that are gods.
"So what is my Future looking Like all sunny skies and cool breezes I hope," luke says with a slight smirk trying to be Charming. I turn to Annabeth not answering Luke hoping He drops it.
"Architecture Makes sense as you are a daughter of Athena. I bet you will create some beautiful creations." I tell her as I study the front of the book. She gives me a bright Smile. That reminds me Of Ella and Rachel. Then all at once The look Drops. A depressing grimace that doesn't fit her age crosses her face.
"Demigods don't live that long," She says. Tears threaten to fall on her cheeks. I lean in to give her a hug.
" I promise you don't need to worry that you will make many beautiful buildings," I tell her. I turn on my eyes for Emphasis and I see her tiny Fire grow just a little and she lets out a little small smile.
"Don't give her false hope," Luke angrily whispers in my ear. I look back at him he looks angry at me like I told her a lie.
"I Didn't," I tell him looking him in the eye. His anger falters and he huffs and looks out the window at the approaching new york skyline. We don't say a word the rest of the way. I tell Logan to take the four to a spare room In Our apartment I ask the Chef to make some food for them. As they walk into the room Ella runs out of her apartment and tackles me into a hug.
"Who are they?" She asks me when she sees them.
"Well, They are a couple of My cousins they are a bit tired they are on a long trip so they need to get some sleep," I tell her. Completely ignoring what I had said she walks up to Annabeth and has the most adorable interaction I have ever seen.
"Hi, I'm Ella your really pretty."She tells Annabeth. She gives her a hug.
"Hi, Ella I'm Annabeth your really pretty too," Annabeth responds while being hugged.
"Wanna check out my room?" Ella asks Annabeth. Annabeth looks at luke asking for permission. Luke starts to say no but then nods slowly. Annabeth Gives the biggest smile and follows Ella into the opposing apartment.
( If there are some messed up people out there reading into that. Don't. they are 7 and 6 years old they are just acting like little kids)
"Hey, Grover wants to play some Video games with Me and my Little brother?" I ask Him Looking Past Luke Knowing he will probably want to stay right next to Thalia until she wakes up. Grover Imitates Annabeth for a sec looking at Luke for permission then. I walk off.
I find Cody hanging upside down off the couch with the controller in his hand playing tony hawk pro skater with music blasting I go over and turn it down bet his head was touching the floor he shot up when he saw Grover.
"Hey Cody, This is Grover Grover this is Cody." I introduce them.
"You smell like a Demigod but different like the difference between smelling Baking brownies and pancakes," Grover says to himself. That kinda freaks Cody out he takes a couple of steps back. I go into deep thought that Grover can tell that he isn't human. That makes me wonder about a lot of things especially if monsters are going to be a problem for the Loric. But that's a worry for another time I put my hands up and touched both their shoulders.
"Yeah It's a long story he's talking about how your Loric," I tell Cody. He looks worried at that. "Don't worry he isn't exactly completely human either I'll explain later don't tell your Cepan."
"Yeah Grover you'll have to keep that to yourself for the time being But he's not a demigod, "I tell Grover. I looked at him seriously and activate my eyes He looks a little scared but nodded I hate intimidating him into silence but I can't let him tell all the demigods about the loric. I'm pretty sure the God's know but the Demigods don't most likely.
As I leave Cody cracks a joke and Grover laughs. Cody Puts in a Fighting game That's two players and I walk out to go speak to Uncle Simon.
"So, How long are our Guests Staying?" Uncle Simon Asks as I step into His Office Doing an Unitentional VIllain Chair Swivel. It makes me Smirk a bit.
"They will stay a few days they shouldn't be a problem Mostly," I tell him.
"Mostly?" He asks back at me in curiosity and worry.
"Well the older Girl I knocked out Her pops Isn't a Fan of my Mom. So she Might Pick a few Fights with me." I tell HIm. He Nods.
"We Should Tell them About S.H.I.E.L.D. tomorrow they are headed towards the camp they will tell everyone so it will be a good place to get special recruits like the ones we are getting from California," I tell him. He knows about the Handful of Demigod Recruits we have received from Camp Jupiter.
All but three are Legacies but even legacies are at the level of Superhuman When they are well Trained so they Have Risen Through the ranks Pretty Fast The three Who Arent Legacies, A son of Fortuna Named Doug who is the greatest Marksman I've Everseen The Old Man Has taken Him as a protegee, A Daughter of Venus Named Susanne That Flirts with Richard Nonstop, And a Daughter of Vesta Named Morgana I keep trying to convince her to teach me New spells but she said she won't until I learn to Use Haven Properly Which is a spell only Children of Nyx Can perform and she says since I'm also a legacy of Vesta it should be "Easy". They have already Been Given Level Five Clearance.
At least a few of them Are Kronos Supporters But I'm About 80% Sure that's they are in Legacies and our demigod recruits just want a good-paying morally acceptable job like keeping demigods safe. So as long as we keep the Legacies from Getting to level Six and They don't betray our trust S.H.I.E.L.D. Will be safe. ( Can't have a Hydra Deal Hapening)
The Legacies are in Protect Details Mostly Protecting The Garde but since no one knows how many DEmigods are out there they think That I'm Helping out random Demigods. I've Warned The Garde That a few of The Legacies Might make a pass about Joining Kronus but I told them just to inform me.
Uncle Simon Looks Happy about that KNowing How Good the others are. Then He gets this Pensive look on His face.
"They won't be kids will they?" He asks The fact that they are heading to a camp throwing him off.
"What? No, But We Might Have to Protect A Few Here And There. It's a pretty Unsafe world Out there for people LIke Us."I tell Him. He sighs. A little Upset I'm still Keeping Certain Secrets BUt he Trusts me enough to not ask.
"Are We telling The Loric?" He asks. I think about it.
"One day We probably should wait until tHe other legacies start coming through Until then Let's keep Saying Half-truths They Already Have the Mogodorians to worry about," I tell him. He has a look on His face Kind of like Constipation He Just Sighs and lets it drop.
I walk Out of his office and start to walk back to my room. I heard a swish of something moving at me from behind so I drop. A spearhead moves flying from above my sword forms in my hand as I jump up and put it against my attacker's throat before she can recover her stance as she had put all her weight into trying to make me into a human shishkabob.
"Sparky I See you woke up," I say to thalia.
