Ok ok first off i don't own percy jackson

Now this story is like no other as In most guardian stories there isn't a big antagonist this there will be.

Now to the Story

The sound of children laughter rang through the air; it was like church bells with its innocent beauty. The children played games in the small New York park; wiggling through monkey bars, climb across everything they could. Their parents watching like hawks, unknown to the parents another figure kept a watchful eye over the children.

That figure was Artemis.

She sighed and leaned against the tree trunk of a weeping willow, one of the only in New York, her arms crossed, and for once she was in an older form, her auburn hair was tied back in a pony tail, and she wore a silver shirt with dark jeans, and her traditional combat boots.

Suddenly a girl jumped out of the tree and landed next her, the girl had midnight black hair that was done in a messy pixie hair cut that had grown long, her striking blue eyes focused on Artemis. The girl was wearing all silver attire, looking ready to take on anything that came her way especially with the bow and quiver on her back.

Artemis addressed the girl without glancing away from the children "Hello Thalia".

Thalia followed her line of sight just to state "Lady Artemis, shouldn't we be going to Olympus, another thing is why are you watching this play ground, is there a monster near by?"

The sigh that escaped Artemis, revealed many things on her mood, and Thalia knew she was now walking on eggshells. Finally Artemis informed "No, no monster, just some things, lets get to Olympus" She turned away from the bubble playground and stuffed her hands in her pockets and walked away just as rain began that made all the kids cry out and run for cover.

Thalia was smart enough to know what was up and stated "You want children of your own even though you can't".

Artemis stopped walking in mid step, the feeling of having her desire voiced when they were just so impossible that made her start heart sink. Emotion in gods were always more powerful then mortals that's why they got in fights more often, got angry very easily, most were rather selfish, and all the men lusted for women constantly. That's why Artemis heart sank so easily into a deep depth of an emotion with no description to give it justice, just that it felt like a invisible hand was squeezing it and pulling it down down down.

Finally Artemis turned to Thalia "Yes but its impossible, forever will be".

Thalia thought for a second before asking, "can't you do the same thing that Hera did with Hephaestus".

Artemis started to walk again and Thalia had to jog a little to keep up with the goddess, Artemis explained, "Since I am not a Goddess of Fertility or Families, I don't have the power, if I could get all the Goddess of such to agree to letting me, I could but one goddess stops me".

Thalia guessed, "Aphrodite, she is a goddess of Fertility right and she doesn't like you"

Rolling her eyes at Thalia ignorance, Artemis stated "Yes, but Aphrodite isn't stopping me, Its your step mother, Hera, thinking I would make the family more dysfunctional then ever before, really she just loves seeing me suffer since I am Leto's daughter"

Thalia gave an oh, after several blocks Thalia piped up "Do you really want a kid?"

Artemis turned her head to Thalia, wondering what her plan was, there was a glint in Thalia's eyes, Artemis motioned for her to continue, which she did "Why don't you go through it as a mortal so Hera doesn't think its all butterflies and rainbows"

Artemis knew nothing of a mortal pregnancy but It couldn't be that bad.

A strike of thunder made them both jump so high that they could jump over people with ease, Artemis yelled after making sure no mortals were watching "PATIENTS" turning to Thalia she grabbed her, and stated "Close your eyes".

Once Thalia did, Artemis flashed both of them to Olympus throne room. Once there Thalia stumbled a little, gripping her stomach, flashing for a demigod always made them slightly sick to their stomachs, Thalia was no exception, her feeling was actually worse as most of the time she throw up, luckily she didn't this time

Artemis went to her throne and Thalia sat next to her on the floor leaning against her throne's arm rest since it had become somewhat a tradition to have a demigod with a goddess or god in some cases, after having the demigods around so often and senseless arguments didn't come up, as the male gods didn't want to demean themselves in front of mortals. So the meeting were now shorter but usually only the goddess had demigods with them, though Poseidon was an exception for the gods as he always had Percy with him.

Zeus stated, "Everyone is now here, Lets get started with the first problem".

Everyone raised a brow at this, usually the first start thing to start off the meetings was just rules since Zeus didn't have anything better to talk about. He continued despite the stares that he received "It has come to my attention when I reviewed everything that happen in the two wars that Artemis got kidnapped once, and almost several more times since she was out on the field".

Artemis glared in anger at Zeus; She thought, "Does he want a arrow to the knee". Despite the Glare that he now got, Zeus stared right to Artemis "and every time it was because of taking on people with close combat skills, so I demand that you find someone with close combat skills that I approve of, also I feel it has to be male".

The twitch that began in Artemis eyes was frightening, especially when a growl began to crawl out of her throat, she sneered "no"

Zeus smirked "Then I refrain you to Olympus, so its sum up as your freedom or having a male presence, I'll give you a minute to think it over"

Artemis looked down at Thalia, Thalia just shrugged then whispered, "I know someone that won't be to bad and none of the hunters will have a problem with him".

Artemis asked in Thalia head "who and just think, no voice"

Thalia thought up "Percy, he's really good with close up combat, he's honest, I know him like a brother, and after losing Annabeth, and he isn't up for women much".

Artemis eyes traveled to Percy, who was leaning against his father's throne, fiddling with pen, he was 23 years old and lost Annabeth a year ago in a monster involved car accident. It had changed him, a lot, he was usually silent, when he did talk he was still Percy but he had lost a lot of his just Percy-ness as it was like after losing his mother when he was 12 all over again. That was also the reason that Poseidon kept Percy close, worried that Percy might try something. Poseidon could do this as Zeus lifted the rule about the gods and their kids. They could visit their kids all they want as long as they continued with their duties, if they shirked off then suspension for them.

Artemis responded still In Thalia's head "alright, if he tries anything, I will shove a arrow through his heart".

Now out loud Artemis asked "May I chose?"

Zeus shrugged "as long as I approve".

Artemis stared at Percy and asked "Percy, do you mind?"

Percy turned, his eyes looked hauntingly dull, he must have had a episode early, his episodes are when he remembers Annabeth death like it was happening just then, it disturbed everyone when he was in one of his moods. He shrugged "I will if I can keep my distances".

Artemis was surprised by the answer, he wanted to stay away from them, and it was beneficial but still. She nodded to the agreements.

Zeus voiced his opinion "I don't care".

As usually acts like he gives something, then really he doesn't care as long as it done. The rest of the meeting went the usually, no silly arguments except between Hermes and Apollo about who was cooler.

Once the meeting ended, Artemis jogged to get Hera's attention, she stated "Hera, may I speak with you".

Hera not even turning stated "If its about kids, no"

Artemis quickly responded "but I have a proposition".

Turning Hera gestured for Artemis to continue, which she did " what if I go through like a mortal".

Hera seemed to begin to ponder this then smirked "You will really want to go through this it like a mortal". Artemis nodded making Hera smirk even more now then stated, "I will get the others together and will discuss it, you'll know the answer soon, trust me"

With that Hera walked away.

Thalia stated, "That didn't go to bad"

Artemis jumped in surprise and whipped around, Thalia raised her hands in apology then stated, "lets go talk to Percy, he just got the run down on what he agreed to"

HAHA

PERCY POV

Why did I agree to this?

I knew that I had Artemis respect but still why not someone else. I knew the hunter's did not like men one bit so they might play endless pranks on me or worse attack me every time they see me, that did not sound a bit fun.

I saw Artemis and Thalia approach me, I took a deep breath hoping that they wouldn't do anything just mean or threaten me or put stupid rules in place. Cause I really didn't want to get attacked for a stupid rules being put in place like saying Hi to one of the hunters.

Artemis asked "So Perseus any ulterior motives to agreeing to this?"

I shrugged "nope just I have nothing better to do".

I could tell Artemis was trying to find a lie in my words, but I wasn't lying. After Annabeth death, everything came crashing down, I quit my job as I just couldn't do it anymore, so I stayed at camp and trained others but that too became hard as many campers just didn't listen anymore as they consider themselves the golden generation as everyone was claimed, and refused everything that questioned that, finally I spent my time with my father but That to, just didn't seem right especially when Amphitrite started to like having me around, which was creepy. So In the end I really didn't have much to do that was worth anything.

Finally Artemis saw no lie and motioned me to follow her, which I did. Thalia elbowed me, and I turned my head, she smiled "it will be fun to have you around cuz"

I smiled down at her, yes down, as I was 6 foot 2, and she was at best 5 foot 7. That is a 7-inch difference, yay I can still do some math.

Suddenly Thalia really smiled "now i have a Pranking partner for the prank wars at camp".
