Chapter .4.

(Author's Note: Try having the song 'Who Will' playing from American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster with this chapter. I think it is fitting)

Percy starts walking to through the trees with them following him.

"Where are you going!?" Nico asks yells

"What happened too you?" Thalia asks at the same time

"Life happened", Percy replies still moving

"Perseus we need to talk", Athena says softly

"We are talking", Percy points out not looking back.

They look at his movements they hadn't seen his face yet because he hadn't put his hood down. But he had a noticeable limp. And his left arm was hanging lifelessly at his side.

"You should let us look at that arm. You DID get hit with an arrow", Artemis points out

"There is nothing you, any of you can do. I will get help soon", Percy replies

"Please Percy stop and listen to us!" Jason calls
"Olympus needs your help. We have been looking for you for 8 years today", Athena tells him

Percy doesn't even slow down at that. Rajah, Raza and Aleu growl at them for trying to get close to him.

"I DO know that date Lady Athena. As this was the date my life became hell", Percy replies bitterly

"Please Percy tell us why you left! You can't have just left because Annabeth was cheating on you and the Camp turned against you", Thalia points out.

"Which was a disgusting act. An act like all males but you", Artemis adds

"I told her off Percy she is very sorry for her actions", Athena adds
"It doesn't matter. I won't ever be taking her back. I could NEVER trust her again or the older members of Camp Half-Blood. I can barely trust now as you can probably tell", Percy growls

"Percy, you can't let what Annabeth and the Camp did stop you from helping. Your stronger then that! You have no idea what we have been through!" Clarisse growls

Percy snarls at them, "What you have been through? What about what I have been through. I am entitled to my freedom. I bring demigods to your Camps all the time. That is as close I want to get to Camp Half Blood at the moment"

The group couldn't believe how bitter Percy sounded.

"What about those kids your bring to Camp? Wouldn't you fight for them?" Frank asks

"I fight in my own way", Percy says softly

"Don't you remember any of them?" Hazel asks

"I remember everyone", Percy whispers but they still hear it.

Percy did remember EVERY kid he bought to the Camps. Of Camp Half-Blood, Camp Jupiter, the Hunters and the Amazons. Even to his own Organization of Treaty. He remembered their FULL names. Age. Date of Birth. Their Parent. Where he picked them up. Which Camp he bought them too. What they LOOKED like. What their choice of weapon was.

He remembered ALL that. And his eye put it all in a data base anyway for later.

He listens to them whispering as he limps through the streets. Now having come out of the forest into a small town.

He could here they wanted to knock him out and drag him too Olympus. Percy quietly snorts like THAT could happen with his gifts.

He knew more then them what was going on. Between his Adopted Parents, Patrons and Lady Chaos he knew a lot about what was going on. And contrary to what they thought he WAS doing something. The network of Treaty was working overtime to find New Demigods and getting them to the Camps to get trained and ready.

"Where are you going?" Chris asks breaking the silence
"To a friends", Percy replies shortly, "And if you talk about knocking me out again. I'll knock ALL of you out before you can blink", Percy threatens

They looked at him shocked. How could he hear them talking this low?

"Why have you stayed hidden?" Thalia asks trying to get information
"I have my reasons", Percy replies cryptically

"How COULD you hide from us?" Artemis asks suspiciously

"Because of my adopted Parents and Patrons", Percy replies still not really giving them answers.

He wasn't going to tell them he was a God yet. That was definitely going to be kept a secret.

"How did you get the wings?" Nico asks, "We heard reports of you having them"

"Same answer as the last one", Percy replies getting annoyed.

He turns another corner and he could see and hear them getting frustrated. This WAS amusing to him.

He was getting close to his friends shop. Good because he was tired and his arm was dragging down on what flesh he did have on his shoulder.

"We are coming to my friends. Try not to scare them away. I won't be pleased if you do", Percy tells them

The group see a shop called: 'Leslie Treaty's Mechanics!'.

"Why are we going to a mechanics?" Chris asks confused

"It is a stop on my journey to collect a couple of New Demigods", Percy replies causally

Before they could ask anymore questions he opens the door to the shop and steps through a girl was at the desk not looking up.
"Denise I need to see Les and Maddie about Wanderer Treaty", Percy says coolly to the demigod daughter of Aphrodite receptionist.

"Lord Wanderer", Denise stutters

"I am waiting", Percy says coldly

Denise quickly rushes out.
"Wanderer?" Thalia asks confused

"One of my MANY, MANY names. Come on haven't you heard I have many? Like Swordsman? Like Marksman? Like Maelstrom? Or Protector? Or Stormbringer? Or as you heard Wanderer?" Percy asks with a hint of amusement

"We didn't hear ALL your titles. We just know your called Wanderer, Swordsman and Marksman", Nico tells him.

"That would be about right for what I tell newbies when I drop them off", Percy replies

"Who is she? And who is Les and Maddie?" Athena asks
"Denise is a daughter of Aphrodite. Les is Leslie he is a son of Vulcan. Maddie is actually your daughter Lady Athena. One that you never claimed", Percy tells them causally

Before them could reply a woman with the same grey eyes of Annabeth and Athena comes in beaming.
"Wanderer!" she exclaims hugging her

Percy brings his right flesh arm around her.
"Maddie you look as good as ever", Percy tells her

"Flatter. Why do you still have on your cloak?" Maddie asks

"Look at my company", Percy tells her, he couldn't wait for her reaction.

Maddie looks at the group. She could spot two Goddesses even under the Mist. All members off the Treaty Group could. She growls it was her mother who had never bothered to send her to camp or to claim her and explain. All of that had come down to Percy.
She was one of the first of Percy's charges. Along with her husband.
"What are they doing here?" Maddie asks

"Begging", Percy replies shorty

"We are NOT begging", Artemis replies hotly

Percy snorts, "Sure your not. You spent time at the Bar waiting for me. Then ALL night making up your minds on my identity. Then we were attack. And when I was walking here you followed all the way. Maybe that is NOT begging but stalking", Percy replies

They could here the smirk in his voice. Even though they couldn't see it. They growl at his smug attitude.

"Where is Les? I need his expertise", Percy tells her gesturing his right flesh hand to her robotic and useless at-the-moment left arm.

Maddie nods now noticing the problem.

"He is in the back. Absorbed in work. But he will stop for you. Denise man the shop only emergency's or the normal Treaty duties are to disturb us", Maddie orders

"Yes Ma'am", Denise says nodding

"Come out back", Maddie tells them

Percy follows her confidently out the back. The others were move hesitant as they didn't know her. And she appeared hostile to Athena.

They see a workshop just like Leo's. But with a lot more mortal items. They could see a man under a car.
"Les! Wanderer is here!" Maddie announces smirking as he bangs his head in surprise.

He groans and wheels himself out from under the car.
"Couldn't break that too me gently honey?" Les asks gruffly
"This is more fun", Maddie replies smiling

"Les", Percy says

"Wanderer. Long time buddy. Put it here", Les says holding out his right hand for Percy's left robotic hand to shake as they normally did.

"Sorry can't do that. That is why I am here. I need a quick fix", Percy tells him

"Ahh. And what about these Goddesses and Immortals behind you?" Les asks

"Stalkers", Percy says simply and smirking as they growl again.

Les lets out a booming laugh.

"Interesting choice of words. Take off the coat and top I need to see what I am dealing with. Do you want them to leave?" Les asks looking at the group behind Percy

Percy shrugs one shoulder.
"They will have to see what their getting into with me anyway. And it is not like they would leave me alone if I wanted them too", Percy replies

"I will get snacks. Will you be alright?" Maddie asks Percy glaring at the group behind him for making Percy feel trapped.
"I will be fine. I am sure if they comment nastily on me that Les will deal with them or I will", Percy replies firmly

The group didn't know what he meant. What did they mean if the commented nastily? What was there to say something like that about?

"Alright. But IF they do I will run MY sword through them", Maddie threatens before glaring at the group on last time and leaving.

"Now all weapons off. Coat and shirt off too. I need to see what I'm dealing with", Les tells Percy, "The chair is ready for you"

Percy moves his right hand to bring off the coat. It was a little bit of a struggle and the group didn't understand why Percy was only moving one hand. Did his other hand get injured? They though it was just his shoulder. But he said he was fine.

"He said he was fine", Athena mutters

"I AM fine. No pain. I CAN'T really feel pain in that area", Percy replies

They are confused before the coat was off and they see that his left arm was actually robotic going all the way from his hand to his shoulder.

Percy's hood was off but he hadn't turned to them yet. As he got his shirt off they could see a LOT of scars around his robotic shoulder and arm. It was ALL mechanical. But wires seemed to be damaged at the top of the shoulder.

Percy then looks at them and they gasp. Instead of the sea-green eyes. One was nearly white and the other was robotic and was whirling around on them. Scars ran down his face. Especially over the eyes. They could also see his left ear was robotic too. There were scars all down his chest too.

"Take a picture it would last longer", Percy grunts moving to the chair and sitting down with a sigh.

As he relaxes his animals relax near him.

"It would. You should know his left leg is robotic too", Les informs them grabbing his tools

Percy scowls at Les.

"Thanks Mate for telling them that", Percy tells him glaring

"Your welcome", Les replies cheerfully

"Percy…how? When? Why?" the questions leave the groups mouth fast.
Percy sighs he was hoping for a nap while Les fixed his arm. He just knew he couldn't be THAT lucky. The Fates really did hate him…
