    Summary

    Percy was seven the first time he woke screaming, the taste of blood in his mouth and the howling of hounds resounding throughout his head. His mom rushed into his room to cradle him in her arms. When she asked, he bit his tongue, told her only of dogs chasing after him. He didn’t tell her of the boy with the goat legs, the pain of being torn apart, and the warm light that engulfed him at the end. She held him until he fell back asleep. Elsewhere, a young daughter of Zeus made her final stand.

    Percy was nine when he opened his eyes, phantom lightning crawling over his skin and the echoes of a woman’s last moments still ringing in his ears. If he closed his eyes, he could still see the twin onyx eyes staring back at him.

    When his mother told him the story of his namesake, of Perseus the son of Zeus, he didn't tell her he already knew. Had already seen a mother and her infant set adrift in a raging storm, watched a boy travel far and slay monsters for the sake of his mother’s safety. But he didn’t tell her this. He was young, but he knew already what happened to people like him. People who see.

    He was no prophet; he would not suffer their fate. He would bite his tongue and let the prophecies pass him by.

    Summary

    The city was eating itself.

    Between the explosions and the flooding, people were scrambling to return to some semblance of normalcy. There were still a lot of people missing, some were probably never going to return to their loved ones. All the while crime was skyrocketing again. Looting, assaults, gang wars, the rats trying to pick up the scraps in the wake of Falcone's death.

    Bruce struggles to pick up all the broken pieces. Maybe it's a futile endeavor, or maybe he just needs some help. The help he needs might come from the strangest places.

    Summary

    “I was fishing,” he began.

    “Fishing where?” Percy interrupted.

    Poseidon let his breath out in a rush, dropping his eyes to his youngest son’s face with a rather sardonic expression. He had turned over in the blankets to watch Poseidon while he spoke and stared up at him now, innocent and ignorant, waiting for him to answer his question.

    “On the beach,” Poseidon answered, eyes narrowed.

    “On Montauk?” Percy asked.

    “Do you want me to tell the story or do you just want to ask?” Poseidon questioned.

    Percy grinned like the menace he was, burrowing deeper in the blankets and pulling a length over his mouth - as if that would help keep him quiet. But he waited patiently for Poseidon to continue, quiet as a mouse.

     

    Or: Poseidon learns he has another son and does everything he can to provide him with a soft landing, but the dark history of their family looms in the background, waiting to strike.

    Summary

    The Gorgons die screaming.

    Stheno's wails are heard for miles as she burns from the inside out. The eldest begs for mercy, reminding her killer of his father's kindness. Will Solace thinks of mice and locusts and plagues. Of Apollo Smintheus and the mercy he showed in the Trojan War. He giggles at her pleas and summons more sunlight. The only thing left of her is a pile of golden ashes.

    Euryale thinks fighting a daughter of Demeter is beneath her. She learns her lesson at the hands of Katie Gardner, who remains sitting at their table out in the stone garden. She whispers to the bushels of roses and firethorns around her and strokes their petals with a gentle touch. Katie smiles into her teacup as Euryale suffocates, sent back to Tartarus, swaddled in a blanket of thorns.

    Percy Jackson guts Medusa, stomach to breast, with black claws, and watches her blood pool at his feet. If he closes his eyes, he can almost feel it pulsing. Riptide severs her head in one clean strike, and she dissolves into gold dust. For the second time, she is slain by one named Perseus. There's no Chrysaor or Pegasus to spring from her neck this time, but a child of Poseidon is present to haunt her all the same.
