Day by day, Percy and Annabeth tried and ultimately failed to enact their revenge, it was funny really for them mere mortals to hope to match my might in the pranking arts. As a result of their hubris I had cursed Annabeth and Percy to watch a documentary on how to make a documentary about how to make a documentary about documentaries.

Needless to say, they stopped after that, ten hours of uselessness made quite an impact on them, stopping their useless but entertaining pranking assaults.

"You made them watch that?" Hestia commented, while taking my copy of the documentary on how to make a documentary about how to make a documentary about documentaries, "I feel the need to burn this… and I don't know why,"

"It's probably a weapon strong enough to kill a god," I nodded gravely.

"Hm… I see," Hestia nodded, carefully putting the cd back to where it came from, "So now… what's your plan?"

"My plan is to mess with Ares and his need to tap my booty," I informed her.

"He wants to what?" Hestia asked in mild shock.

"He wants to… and I quote, toss my ass like a salad," I shuddered.

"If you want I can talk with him," Hestia offered.

"No, I will simply use his plan to fuck his original idea," I laughed, "You see… I realized Zeus has yet to reward me for my deed even though he said he was going to give me a weapon….so I decided I will cash that reward out… and as my reward I will get some booty insurance against all gods,"

"That is… remarkably smart," Hestia smiled, "So… you want a lift to his office?" She offered and I nodded.

[Zeus POV]

I didn't expect Adam to… pop into existence in the throne room unannounced and uninvited.... but considering he was with Hestia, I allowed myself to… see what he wanted before killing him if it was a waste of my time.

And I had to admit… I did not see his request coming, not even by a long shot, for his deed recovering my Master Bolt, he didn't request immortality like most demigods would… or even a weapon like I had originally offered, no… instead he asked for… booty insurance. He was very specific, with his request, oddly specific.

And for some reason Ares… was mad at that, "I… will grant you your request, no god shall pursue you unless you personally give them the green lights…" I was… I was unsure how to feel with this request, had any gods offered to sleep with him, or was he simply preemptively avoiding that.

"Thank you," Adam bowed and Hestia giggled.

"Are you sure that's what you want?" Hera, my wife asked, with a frown on her face.

"I do," Adam nodded with a smile.

"I find that request a bit presumptuous, why would a god pursue you, unless…." Hera said, narrowing her eyes at me, and then at him.

"Wait… you think he? No, no , no, no, nooooo," Adam said with clear disgust, placating her wrath a bit, "No…. like a big no,"

"I told you honey… I…" I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering why he was so… disgusted by the prospect of me courting him….

[Adam POV]

"I thank you for you gift my king," I bowed and left with Hestia back to the camp, where Ares was angrily waiting for us.

"You BITCH!" Ares screamed and I smiled, "You cheated!"

"So did you," I pointed out.

"You still made a promise… when you are sixteen, you will be ours or face the consequences of breaking a holy promise," Ares smirked.

"Hmm, I don't think so," I smirked at his obvious lack of memory, "I promised to do so when I grew up, and that… my dear friend leaves a lot of gray areas, it could be tomorrow, it could be in a million years, who knows?" Ares blinked, opening his mouth to answer, but failing to do so, "Yeah, you have been played by a teenager,"

Ares laughed, "Well played… this just makes the hunt more interesting, but for now… well played kid, well played,"

"Ares, to quote a famous old song, you are never gonna get it, never never, gonna get it," I chuckled.

"We'll see," Ares chuckled, as he teleported back to Olympus.

"I find this both highly disturbing and entertaining, I have never seen a mortal play with the gods so much, without invoking their wrath… is like you know how to push their buttons," Hestia commented.

"I suppose," I smiled, "Now, what do we do now that my booty has FBI protection,"

"FBI?" Hestia asked.

"Federal Booty Insurance," I explained.

[Annabeth POV]

Beating Adam was impossible… da da, he was a master of his craft like Percy said, he would not only counter our every attempt to prank, but he would return said attempt, ten folds back.

At first… he started small, by making us look like killer clowns, Pennywise 1 and two, then he stepped up on that… and made sure his song was everyone around us… da da da.

But… his last prank was utterly diabolical da da, he… made us watch a documentary, about documentaries about how to make a documentary about documentaries… it was so stupid… so time consuming, I almost considered burning the camp.

But I was not done yet… I still had faith we would find a weakness in his being.

"I think we can…"

"No!" Percy interrupted, "I had enough… Annabeth, we must know when to quit, can you see?! He made us watch a documentary that was the definition of useless!!! and the worst part was that he said it was on his top twenty most boring dvds…. I don't want to know what the first one on his list has…"

"I…." I struggled to reply, for he had brought a very good point, "Fine…" I relented, Sea Brain was right, Adam had won… for now.

"I thank the gods you reconsidered," Percy cried, "I fear seeing that documentary flashing before my eyes when my time comes… da da,"

"I… know what you feel… da da," I nodded.
