Percy was having another nightmare. He was tossing and turning in his sleep. His face was contorted into one of pain. The cabin began to shake violently and Luke ran into his room trying to wake him up.

"He's not waking up what do we do?" Luke exclaimed then Bianca ran out the cabin. A few minutes of trying to wake up the sleeping son of Chaos, Bianca runs back into the room with Nico beside her. Nico takes one look at Percy and runs to wake him up.

He says many words trying to get him up until his eyes finally snap open. He looks around until his eyes rest on Nico's and he shoots up hugging Nico.

He kept whispering "You're alive" over and over again as if to tell himself that Nico was okay. The warriors left the room to give them space after Nico nodded to them and they closed the door.

"Percy, you okay now?"

Percy nods. "How'd you know?"

"Bianca came and told me. What was it about?"

"It was about camp when I left. But it was different. I had walked around the cabins and I saw Jason with a knife. He uh, he stabbed you Nico. And you dropped to the floor. There was blood everywhere. Then he looked at me, smiled, and left. I ran to you to see if I could save you but you were already gone."

"It's okay now though. I'm alive, I'm okay."

"But I can't lose you, Nico." He holds onto Nico tightly. "Because I care about you."

"I care about you too, Percy."

"No, Nico." He let's go of Nico and looks into his eyes. "I care about you a lot."

Nico's eyebrows furrow. "A lot more than I should, Nico."

Nico's eyes widen in surprise when he understands what Percy is saying. Percy looks down thinking Nico would walk out the door but he stays. "Percy. Look at me."

Percy looks up to see Nico smiling at him. "I care about you a lot more than I should too." Percy's eyes widen in shock.

Outside the door the warriors are standing there with smiles on their faces into Bianca bolts through the door.

"You people are crazy!" She goes up to Percy and Nico and smashes their face together. Then she smiles and walks out. The other warriors stare at her then laugh silently.

Percy and Nico's eyes widen before they gradually leaned into each other. They kissed softly and passionately, their lips moving in sync. After a little they slowly pulled apart and rested their foreheads against each other, smiling.

But of course, the world hates them and the warriors burst through the door, again.

"Monsters."

"Tartarus."

"Outside."

"Now!"

They yell and Percy and Nico run outside, swords out. They slash through monster after monster side by side. Percy's eyes turn red and Eli shoots a monster with an explosive arrow and turns towards Nico, still shooting arrows.

"You know, I am so glad I was still asleep when you came in the room, Nico. Duck."

Nico ducked and his face was glowing red. "Uh, yeah. Sorry about that." He said stabbing a monster that was next to Eli.

"Nah, it's all good. Percy's happy. A lot happier than he was. Plus, I'm leaving his body soon right?" He shot more arrows at a monster swinging a bat at a camper.

"Yeah, I can do it whenever."

"Alright good." They continued to fight and Percy's eyes turned black once more and started slashing at the monsters until Tartarus and a few Titans were left.

"You guys work together to fight the Titans I'll fight Tartarus. Okay?" Nico looked at Percy like he wanted to protest but then he saw his face and just nodded, running off. Percy watched him go and then turned to Tartarus.

"Hello, brother." Tartarus says with a smile. "I remember when you were just a small little thing."

"Yeah and then you turned evil or something. Why?"

"Because the gods have done nothing for this earth. Gaia is dying and the mortals are just putting their filth on her."

"But Gaia is still alive right? Our sister is alive?" His voice lacing with worry.

"Yes, but she is asleep after you tried killing her!" Tartarus exclaimed.

"She was hurting my friends!"

"And then your friends hurt you, brother." Percy flinched and looked down. By now the campers killed the Titans and were watching with wide eyes as Percy and Tartarus yelled.

"Yes, they did hurt me."

"And now that's two siblings of mine that they hurt. Gaia didn't want to hurt you, brother." Percy looked at him. "She wished that you would join her because she knew that you had to be the son of Chaos. She wanted you two to save the earth and start again. All of us did." Percy looked down.

"I'm sorry, sister." He said looking at the earth. "I'm sorry I let them hurt you."

Tartarus looked at Percy in surprise. He didn't think Percy would care about hurting their sister. "So you care now? Why not then?"

"I did care then!" Percy exclaimed and the campers watching were shocked. "I cared and I didn't know why. I didn't know why I would care if the others hurt Gaia and put her to sleep. I didn't want my friends hurt but I also didn't want her to die either. And I didn't know why." Percy yells.

"Do you know what that felt like, brother? To not want the enemy to die and never knowing why. But I knew if I helped her that the camps would throw me out. And they would still kill her. So I stepped in and she wasn't hurt. Piper put her back to sleep without hurting her." Percy took a deep breath. "But guess what? They still thought I helped her. I made sure that I didn't speak to her. I made sure that I was always with someone whenever Gaia came so they could never think that I helped her. But they still made something up and I left."

"And what do you think now, brother?" Tartarus asked.

"Now? I wouldn't change a thing. Maybe if you had come to me a few years ago and asked if I would hurt the demigods for hurting our sister than I would've said yes." The campers stared shocked. Even the Chaos warriors were shocked. "I would have gladly taken your offer to get revenge against what they did to me and Gaia but now I won't. I won't hurt them."

"So you're going to fight against another one of your siblings?"

Percy thought for a few seconds then shot at him. "Yes." Percy swung his sword to Tartarus's chest but he blocked the attack and parried. They swung blow after blow going faster and faster until they were two blurs. Percy kicked Tartarus in the shin and stabbed him in the arm. Tartarus put a few cuts on Percy's arms and limbs before Percy parried an attack and hit him right in the chest. Percy spoke in an ancient language and Tartarus's eyes widen as he began to slowly melt into the ground.

"Goodbye, big brother." Percy said as Tartarus finally melted away back to his own domain.

Percy turned around to see the campers staring at him while some were treating other's wounds.

"You two are siblings?"

"You know Gaia?"

"Gaia's your sister?"

"What in the Hades is going on?"

They all stared at Percy dumbfounded. But then Percy fell to the ground.

"Percy!" Nico yelled running up to him. "Please be okay, please be okay." He whispered, holding Percy in his arms. His eyes slowly opened.

"Hey, Neeks." He said softly. "Are you okay?"

"Why are you asking if I'm okay when you just fell to the ground?"

"Because your life is worth more than mine."

Nico shook his head. "No, it's not."

"Then to me it is."

"Are you okay, Percy?"

"Yeah. Just used too much energy to put him back down." Nico nodded and helped Percy stand up. They walked back to the demigods and they started asking questions.

"Okay, shut up!" Beckendorf yelled. They immediately went silent. "Ask questions one at a time and if he doesn't want to answer then leave it be. Got it?"

They nodded their heads.

"Why were you calling each other 'brother'?"

"Because he's my brother, why else." The camper rolled her eyes.

"You know what I mean."

Percy smiled. "Yes, I do. Tartarus is a primordial, as you all know, who was born from Chaos like all the primordials. And because Chaos is my father as well that makes us brothers."

"So adopted brothers?" Percy shakes his head.

"Chaos is my biological father." The campers's mouth drop.

"What about Poseidon?"

"He isn't my father but he was still there."

"How were a child of the big three then?"

"I wasn't, but no one knew that then. Not even Chaos himself."

"How did you get here then?" Percy took a deep breath.

"There was a huge war when I was like eight years old. My mother, she ended up dying." Percy said as a tear slipped from his eye. "The war wasn't going to end for years so father had my brother Chronos, reverse the clock on me so I was just a baby again and sent me to Sally, who at the time was with Poseidon. Chaos took away all my powers except for the manipulation of water. When I was in Tartarus with Annabeth, I guess my powers started coming back and that was how I was able to control not just water, but poison too. My guess is that being in my brothers domain while he was awake is what made it come out. I slowly started getting more powers after we defeated my sister, Gaia."

The campers were silent.

"So you never actually worked with Gaia?"

"No, I didn't. But she did save my life once when I made a deal and drank the wrong side of gorgon's blood. She switched the poison so the other person died instead of me." Percy furrows his eyebrows. "That actually sounds really bad, he was a bad person if that makes it any better. And he was supposed to be dead." The campers nodded.

"What was that? When Tartarus melted."

"It's an ancient spell my father taught me if any of my brothers or sisters went out of control. It forcibly makes them go back to their own domains and they can't escape for a few years. It only works once you stab them in the chest though."

"Is the war over now?"

Percy nodded. Then he looked sad and looked at Nico. "You still wanna come with?" The campers look at them confused.

"Nothing could change my mind."

"Percy, what do you mean?" Bianca asks.

"A few days ago I asked if Nico wanted to come back to Origo with me."

"And he said yes?" Bianca asked. Percy nodded. "What about Chaos? Does he know?"

"It wont matter if he knows or not. My father wants me to be happy and Nico makes me happy."

"Damn. Nice to know I'm only leaving for your own happiness."

"That's not what I meant and you know it."

"I know." He said and kissed Percy.

"Holy Hera!" Some camper said.

"Okay when did that happen?" Piper asked.

Percy and Nico looked at each other and then to Bianca and back to Piper.

"Bianca smashed our faces together." They said in unison. The campers blinked and then started laughing. They stopped when they saw a glow from Percy's bracelet.

"Uh oh." Nico said.

Percy's eyes went red and he turned to Nico.

"I wanna leave now. Please. If this is how it's gonna be, I want out."

Nico rolls his eyes. "Alright get up. Can you use Percy's powers?"

"Yeah we just both have to be out." Nico nodded while Percy's eye changed color and Nico called the Apollo campers who can heal over to them.

"Okay so you guys can like, heal dead people right?"

They looked at each other. "We can heal it but we can't make it function."

Nico nodded. "That's fine." He kneeled down on the floor and muttered a few words in Ancient Greek. The ground rumbled a little as a body came from the ground. It had dirt all over it and the clothes were crumpled, dirty, and falling apart. It should have been a skeleton, but Nico guesses it was because the soul was taken from it.

The Apollo campers got to work, taking his body to the infirmary and cleaning the body and Percy watched with curious eyes. "Whoa."

Nico looked at him. "That's you, right?"

Percy just nodded, staring at the body. His body didn't seem to look entirely human. But that's proven just by his eyes. No human on earth has natural red eyes that Percy knows of. His ears were pointed and he had semi-sharp teeth. Not monster-sharp but you can tell that they were sharper than human teeth. He had bronze skin and dark, curly hair.

After the Apollo campers were done they hooked up some tubes to the body.

"Uh, since you're not human can you have human blood." Percy thought about it then shook his head.

"No." Percy tilted his head. "We'll be right back." Percy created a portal and stepped through it to the planet Eli was born. He slipped through the shadows and made it to a hospital and stole a few bags of Eli's blood type and other bags the campers may need. He created another portal and was back in the infirmary.

"Alright so I got these, hopefully they help." Percy said putting the bags on the table and translating words when needed to. They hooked the bags to the tubes and they gradually began to go into the body. When the Apollo campers said it was okay to do the soul thing, Percy put a hand to Eli's head.

He started whispering words in the Ancient language and his whispering got louder and louder until he was yelling. There was wind in the infirmary even though all the doors and windows were closed and Eli's body began to glow. Percy's red eye was slowly turning to his original color. When Percy stopped chanting the wind stopped and Eli's body stopped glowing. After a few minutes Eli opened his eyes and smiled at Percy.

"Whats up, Percy?"

"What's up, Eli?" They were silent for a few seconds before they both exclaimed.

"The sky is what's up!" And they laughed.

"Dude this is so cool. I can actually look at you without looking in a mirror."

"And I can actually see what you look like instead of in a memory. Awesome." Percy grinned and helped him sit up. "Now we can do so much more pranks on the others."

Eli's eyes lit up and he matched Percy's grin.

Will walked up to Percy and whispered in his ear and Percy nodded. "I'm gonna leave you here so you can rest, okay Eli?"

Eli nodded and closed his eyes. Percy turned back to Will. "Let me know if something happens." Will nodded and Percy left the infirmary with Nico. Percy held Nico's hand as they walked to the Chaos cabin.

"And the love birds return." Luke smirks.

Percy and Nico go red in the face. "Shut up, Pinkie!" Percy yells.

"Oh, hell. What type of name is that?"

"You're favorite color. What else?"

Bianca whispers something in his ear and he just grumbles and sits back down on the small couch. Percy brings Nico to a vacant couch and Nico sits down and pulls Percy to lay against his chest, between his legs. Nico plays with Percy's hair as he leans back against his chest, a small smile on his face.

"So what do you guys want to do?" Beckendorf asks.

"I want to stay right here with Nico."

The others roll their eyes and Nico just smiles.

"Other than that Percy." Zoë says.

"Then I don't care."

"But I'm bored! What are we gonna do?"

"Don't know, don't care."

Nico moves his arms to Percy's chest and moved down on the couch to put his chin on Percy's head.

"You guys are so cute that it's actually disgusting." Bianca smiles.

"You're just jealous you can't be like us."

"I really am."

"Should you really be saying that in front of your boyfriend, Bianca."

She shrugged. "Not my problem." Luke's jaw dropped.

"Damn." He whispered.

"I'm tired." Percy said closing his eyes.

"Oh, hell no!" Luke yelled and grabbed Percy. "If you're tired go to your room. I wanna watch tv."

"Fine, fine." Percy says walking up the stairs. Nico watches him go before he bolts up and follows him.

Percy gets out a pair of dark blue sweatpants and looks and Nico, getting out a pair of black ones. "You want one?"

Nico nods and Percy tosses him the sweatpants and a loose, blue shirt. Nico raises an eyebrow and sees Percy take out a similar shirt but black.

After getting dressed they lie down on the bed. Percy looks at Nico and kisses him. Nico immediately kisses back, leaning into Percy. Percy puts his arms around Nico and pulls him closer. They kiss for a few more seconds before pulling away and Nico puts his head against Percy's chest.

"Goodnight, Nico."

"Goodnight, Percy."
