Sally wasn't expecting any of Percy's friend's to show up today, even if at the same time she always expected it. She had gotten in the habit of keeping a small to go food bag in the pantry for the sake of handing it out if anyone showed up looking for help, twice she'd had to actually give them to someone. When she opened the door and saw Thalia thought she doubted that she was in need of any help, Artemis' hunters tended to be well taken care of when it came to supplies if she was remembering right.

She did notice that she was carrying something, though. She gave her a welcome smile as she pulled the door open far enough to let her in, glancing to make sure that she was alone before shutting the door. “It's good to see you, Thalia. Percy's not home right now, but you're always welcome to visit.”

She wasn't kidding, when she first said it: Percy's mom was cool. Maybe it was a low bar to hit, when they would cross paths, but who could blame her? A woman who was perfectly normal, not driven mad by seeing past the mist - who loved her kid, put her kid first-- Thalia winced, visibly putting that train of thought carefully back inside of her own mind, locked up.

It was a small gift, for her friend, wrapped in a cured fur cloth. Her lady had allowed the afternoon to run and drop it off-- so she was in her ripped black jeans, her nirvana tee and dark matching flannel-- a direct contrast to the silver circlet on her forehead. She knocked on the door to the new apartment, somewhat anxious to get this interaction correct.

Harry Hook is my only Muse where I am like "I am 100% willing to auto ship and I am fINE with it if the only reason you're interacting with me is to ship with him" bc honestly, he's a hoe ass bitch.

Anyway, go to @ixmxgod and interact with Harry pls and thank you he's yelling at me for attention

It wasn't exactly uncommon for Leda to stay up and watch the fire, the flames staying large until she finally called it a night. It was essentially the camps hearth, she was almost positive that it was Hestia who kept it bright until she left but she'd never asked. Sometimes other campers who could sleep lingered around it to, but not always and usually it was the Hephaestus kids. The hunters tended to like the camp fire though, so seeing Thalia wasn't exactly a surprise. Most of them tended to keep to their own group.

But she'd spent time here before joining them, she knew people; even if her time hadn't been long before she accepted Artemis' offer. She looked at her at the comment shrugging slightly before speaking.

“Eh, not to bad. Warm enough here at least.”

The flame crackled in the firepit, amongst the dark woods. Camp Half-Blood. The hunter watched, quietly in the shadows, as the smoke continued to lift. She was hidden, for now. The cool bark of the tree against her back felt like an awful omen, a reminder of the years she spent immobile and trapped. His face flashed across his mind, another reminder. It set a firm purse of her lips, a furrow of her brow.

Better not to give it even the briefest of thoughts. Swallow it. Burn it. There was business to be had here, Thalia knew that. Word travelled of the medic in cabin seven. Slowly, she slipped into the light, still leaning onto the tree for support. The girl was older, like him-- Thalia cleared her throat,

"Hey. Nice night out, right?"

Metis reached for the small worn photo album on the table without bothering to insist he take a seat; it wouldn't be that hard to insist, but she wouldn't. She didn't exactly answer his question right away. “You demi-god's are taken from their parents as soon as you're somewhat able to function without excessive amounts of help, I'm sure you know that. Unless they've told you something else. I wouldn't put it past them.”

She didn't way who them was because she knew better than to poke the bear, so to speak. It was already pushing it that she had taken over the camp, even if her reasons as to why were believable enough and convincing. She wanted children, and Zeus had no desire for her to actually birth any herself. She claimed that running the camp was her compromise.

“What do you know about your Mother, Perseus?” Calling him by his fully name felt wrong, he was Percy. He had always been Percy to her, even if she had given him the name Perseus.

"An order," Percy repeated. He wasn't always quick on the uptake, but he didn't like the idea of an order to, what was it... sit down? It was so much harder to take hold of Riptide, at least in the far-back position that gave him thrusting room. That didn't make a lot of sense, something that Annabeth would have smacked him upside the head for.

No. No, she meant not telling. Not talking to the other kids, the only people he knew. If it was something big, how was he not supposed to tell them? This goddess comes in, she turned everything upside down. It almost felt literal - there were new cabins being built. Chiron and Mr. D were standing around trying not to look confused, he had never seen Chiron confused.

He stayed standing. He didn't know who 'me' was, but he knew Mrs. M was Metis, and that's what mattered, wasn't it? "What are you talking about?"

Leda let herself fall down onto the seat, looking out at the view as she spoke. “A lot of new kids get overwhelmed by how much goes on in the Hermes Cabin the first few days, figured there was a chance one or both of you would wander out somewhere.” She figured there was a chance someone might try to start trouble with them, most likely Ares cabin. Better that someone was there to be a buffer.

“I think I was 6 months old when Hestia took me in? I didn't move into the Apollo Cabin till I was around 3 though. My story's a little more complicated than most campers.” To say the least, but at least it wasn't as complicated as someone like Thalia who stood at the top of the hill in the form of a tree.

“How are you liking it so far? No ones giving you guys too much trouble?” The Ares Cabin could be difficult sometimes, whether you were a new or old camper. Luckily, most knew better than to cause trouble for the medics that would take care of you if you got hurt on a quest or even something as simple as a camp activity.

❛  this place is the closest thing to home I have.  ❜ -landofgodsxmonsters (Leda talking about camp?)

A part of her thought she’d been sneaky, that no one had spied her quietly escaping the Hermes cabin while Luke and Percy were busy with their other cabin mates, but clearly she’d been wrong. Natasha practically jumped out her skin upon hearing Leda, whom she’s known for three days, suddenly appear. If it had to be anyone to discover her, she thought it would’ve been Percy. Whenever one wandered off, the other would clock on immediately.

Clearly Luke proved to be a wonderful distraction.

“Leda! How did you know I was here?” The young girl whirls around, sea foam eyes wide and pale skin flushing red. Clearly embarrassed for being caught off guard.

She pauses for a moment before patting the space next to her, inviting the seventeen year old to come and sit. To watch the sun set. Like she used to with her mom.

“This place is amazing.” She agrees, she just wished Percy and herself had been introduced to the place under better circumstances.. the death of her mother haunted her dreams at night. In fact, she’s surprised she hasn’t woke the whole camp with the screaming.

“How long have you been here?” Natasha asks, realising that she didn’t know a thing about this girl who welcomed them with open arms alongside Luke. Besides the obvious of course, who her godly parent had been, and why she resided in the Apollo cabin rather than Hermes’ with the rest of them.

Metis took a second to realize that she felt undoubtedly like Sally again, something that she had been having trouble shifting back to after her powers were returned. It gave her a moment of relief because that meant that Percy really did believe who she was, and her form had allowed her to shift to reflect the way he saw her.

“They knew that Sally was your mother, Nyx can try to convince Hephaestus not to say anything about what he saw here. I doubt that Amphitrite would let your father say anything about what he saw when I called for Nyx either, but you wouldn't be able to see me again. It would be too dangerous. Or we can leave, go into hiding with Nyx's help.”

She pulled back and he was struck with the sight of her. Hope welled in him, he saw her hair, her cheeks, her smile, "mom?"

His voice was small. It hadn't mattered, really, just a sad fact of reality that he wouldn't see her, but there she was. He smiled.

"I don't think not going to camp is going to help that," Percy said. Both Grover and Chiron - formerly, Mr. Brunner - knew his home life, they'd probably handled his paperwork together. He looked up to her in confusion. "So, what are we going to do?"

This is a PSA that I play Poseidon and Amphitrite's marriage as entirely a marriage of convenience. They don't care who the other sleeps with outside their marriage, and Amphitrite doesn't just outright hate the woman Poseidon sleeps with or his demigod children for no reason. When not on the verge of war, she can actually be very open and kind to them.

#Because I always interpreted their marriage that way from myths and the books.

[landofgodsxmonsters]

At the correction of his name she could almost feel tears, but she willed them away and made herself speak. “No, its-its me. Immortal forms can change based on how someone perceives us, and I've always been talented at changing my shape to begin with.” She moved to take a seat in a chair, motioning to the couch across from her for him to take a seat.

“I wanted to talk to you, explain why I'm here. It's not something that you can tell other's about, though.” There was an inherent risk in her telling him, she had made Poseidon and Amphitrite sweat on the Styx that Zeus would not find out the truth from them. At least he seemed to care about their son to some degree.

“Consider is self-preservation, if you need to think of it as an order.” She didn't like that he might be more comfortable keeping a secret if it was an order, but she knew how the gods handled their children in the last few centuries. Raised as soldiers, treated as such.

No one was comfy right now, and it took its toll.

Suddenly, Chiron was on the back burner. Suddenly, it was Mr. D taking orders. He'd never been super involved before, but he was a god, one of the twelve major Olympians of Camp Half-blood. Then Metis - who was barely covered in their classes, and when she was, they could feel the lightning in the air with Zeus's upset.

It made everyone nervous. The abrupt and unplanned capture the flag game had shown everyone their colors - more because there wasn't even a flag, just a bunch of campers trying to get their nerves out when their world twisted upside down, and then Percy accidentally broke Clarisse's spear; look everyone had something. Luke's shoes, Annabeth's hat, and Percy broke her spear? It was a rough day.

He'd figured, maybe that's why he was called to the Big House. Usually, that's why Chiron would have called him in. "Mrs. M?"

Look, that's what they called Mr. D, right? So it checked out. "Mrs. M? You called for me? It's Perseus."

He blinked when he saw... someone. Sort of familiar hair, it itched the back of his head. Face... something.. he blinked in confusion. "I... I was looking for Mrs. M?"

@txkethefall

Metis hadn't told Zeus why she wanted control of camp half blood, all she had done was swear that her reasoning had nothing to do with wanting to overthrow him. That wasn't her end goal, it wasn't even a blip on her radar. She just wanted the kids to have a better life, a chance at semi decent childhoods; that he owed that to her after taking her chance to raise Athena. It was the truth, if she went in guns blazing? Percy would only see her as a monster come to take him from his home. That fact that she swore it and nothing happened, showing it was the truth? Plus the guilt-tripping and Nyx backing her? It was enough.

Then she had gone to Poseidon's castle to visit her sister, or that's what she told people, instead? When she got there she ripped Poseidon a new one, form changing to what she'd looked like when she was mortal - like Sally Jackson. Then she cried with her sister, and then she went to camp and took her new place as Director. Dionysus was allowed to stay, and she got permission to reward him with wine when he listened to her. He was the god of Madness after all, it made him the best option for therapy for a bunch of demi-gods.

Now though, she was in The Big House alone, a Satyr being sent to get Percy for her. When he walked in the door she didn't look like Metis, but like Sally Jackson. “Percy.” She felt her shoulders relax and like a weight had been lifted. She'd seen him more than once in the 2 weeks she'd been here, it was agonizing not talking to him immediately. But she'd wanted to show she was here to help, start introducing the plans to build more cabins and a structured school. She'd already started going through rosters of old campers that might still be alive and looking for those who might be a good fit as teachers.

Peep a new Metis!Sally verse where the gods don't let their kids stay with their mortal parents an kidnap them around 2 and she never learned that Poesidon was who he was until Nyx came to her like "Yo, I found your boy. Take your powers, we're gonna go get you custody of a camp full of demigods."

[landofgodsxmonsters]

She reached to pull him into a hug again, one hand on the back of his head as she held him a little tighter than she probably needed to. “I should have asked for help sooner, you shouldn't have had to go through that. I… I thought sending you to camp was safer, though. Most Demigod's never go on quests.”

When she pulled back again to look at him, her face was back to the one he knew. “You can't go back to camp, Percy. Or if you do… No one can find out I'm your Mother, Zeus would-” She paused and pursed her lips before brushing his hair out of his face and saying. “He might go a little more insane than usual.” That was saying a lot, seeing as he had once eaten her whole to avoid her having a child. Even if it hadn't worked.

It was too much. Even if she was just in his head, he hadn't been thinking about the day he learned how to pray, that he had prayed to her. His mother. The only reason he came as far as he did. "I thought I wasn't going to see you again."

He'd realized that, when the gold started curling on his cheeks, warm and weighty. If he was in gold while Annabeth got his mom out, he wouldn't see her. And now here she was, with someone else's face. Or, rather, hers, just not one he had ever known. Not his mom's face. "It's okay. I don't care about that. I care that you're alive.

Maria moves closer, taking a seat on a chair that's by the bed as he spoke to avoid the strain that standing for too long put on her back these days. “I don't…” know was what she was going to say, but the girl's name just fit. “I think so, which I would say is crazy if I wasn't a demigod.” Not only that, but she was a legacy. Her mother had lived in New Rome since she was a baby. She'd seen enough and heard enough stories to know that this was odd, but probably not entirely out of place.

“Your sword, you said…your Dad sent you to me? Told you that I could help you with it? How did he know who I was?” It'd been nagging at her since she first officially met the demigod, since the feeling like she was breathing in dust and smoke and suffocating before snapping out of it after a moment that felt like eternity. How had she ended up on the radar of The King of the Underworld?

Maria watched to make sure he wasn't going to topple over as he stood, lips pursing together as she resisted the urge to tell him he should rest more. At his next words though her eyes move to his face, noticing that he was deliberately not looking at her. “Your Mother?”

His mother was dead from what she knew, until recently she had gone out of her way to avoid finding any information about him. After meeting him though she'd been asking around as subtly as she could. She knew he was older than he looked because of a lotus run in, thought she didn't know exactly how much older than he looked he was. That and the dreams she'd been having...

“Do you have a sister?” The question came out before she could tell herself to be more subtle with it. “Sorry, I just...I mean other than Hazel. Ever since I met you I've been having dreams about these two kids, I don't know there names but when I called you Niccolo another name...” If she wasn't a demigod and it wasn't for all of the things she knew happened in the world over the last few years? She might think she was going crazy.

“I could be, but I'm not. You've been in this chair 7 days, Percy. Hades let me go, and when I got home you weren't there, so I called for your father. After he told me what had happened, I called for Nyx. She returned my power to me, helped me… convince Hephaestus to let you go.”

There weren't many who were willing to deny a request from Nyx, all it took was asking. She started to reached out again before pulling her hand back down and speaking. “I heard you, when you were praying to me. Doesn't usually work for mortals, but… You'd finally found somewhere you fit, I'm sorry.”

“Percy.” She took a breath and closed her eyes for a second before opening them and starting again. “Metis. When I looked like this, I was known as Metis. 20 years ago I decided I wanted to live as a mortal, I became Sally Jackson. I was trying to get away from the chaos that was the pantheon.”

She was sure that he had questions, she would if she was him. As it was, she still had questions; memories were coming back in pieces, but she didn't have everything yet. But she had enough to know that the plan now was going to involve hiding.

“Right, you wouldn't recognize me like this. It's Mom, Percy. You're probably confused. But Annabeth is safe at camp last I knew, she made it in time; she got Zeus the bolt. There's more to it than that, though. I have a lot to tell you.” She resisted the urge to reach for him and check to make sure he wasn't hurt outside of having been turned to gold, not wanting to freak him out any more than he already seemed to be.
