"Let go of me asshole!" The little boy kicked and screamed as he tried to punch Percy the moment he came out of the inventory, "what did you do to my sister?!"
"Nothing!" Percy protested as he jumped away from the son of Hades fists, "see there she is safe and sound."
"Nico what are you doing?" Bianca yelled out causing Nico to stop and look at his sister.
"Bianca! Your safe! I thought he hurt you!" Nico jumped and hugged his sister.
"Hurt me? Why would he do that? In fact who are you? Where are we?"
Percy sighed and eventually gave her the now routine speech about her being a demigod and her being trapped in that casino from over 60 years, blah blah blah.
"Wait so you're all," Bianca said looked at all the people gathered around, "demigods?"
"Yup," Percy nodded.
"And so are we?"
"Yup," Percy nodded.
"I-I don't know what to say to that," Bianca said as she looked around in shocked.
'Her entire understanding of life had just been shattered. She had just learnt that not only did she have a dad, he was basically immortal and a God! She didn't know what to say, or do,' Percy thought to himself, 'it's reasonable she is having an emotional crisis.' He then turned to Nico who had his head hung down as he was visibly trembling, 'poor kid, he must be overwhelmed.'
"COOL!" Nico yelled out jumping up, "so wait am I a God too?!"
'Guess he was shaking in excitement then,' Percy told himself as he gave the kid a smiled, "well no, you're a demigod, half God, half man. And as cool as a god is, we are cooler."
"Ah-hum," Hermes cleared his throat.
"You should get that looked at Hermes, don't want a throat infection or anything," Percy said with a sly smile.
The god grumbled as Bianca then spoke up, "so wait, does that mean our father is a God?"
Percy nodded, "yup, but first tell me, how much do you know about the Greek Gods?"
"Lots!" Nico exclaimed, "there's the Olympians, Zeus, Poseidon, Hermes, Ares, Hephaestus and his wife Aphrodite, Hera, Demeter, Apollo and Artemis, Athena, Dionysus! And then there are the minor Gods like Hecate and Morpheus, oh and spirits like the Satyrs and other things, wait is that guy Hermes?!" Nico yelled out charging the God who looked stunned, "so cool! I always wanted to meet a God! Hey is it true you onces stole Apollo's cows? How did their milk taste? Do you actually have winged sandals? What's your top speed?"
Hermes just blinked at barrage of questions, "ah, well, yes, their milk tasted great, like caramel, yes I do have sandals with wings on them though these days I prefer sneakers and my top speed is just below the speed of light, I think, haven't really tried."
Percy smiled and turned to Bianca, "Nico seems to be having fun."
The girl sighed, "my brother has always been….extremely obsessed with Greek Myths."
Percy nodded, "as he should be, after all he is part of them now."
"Okay fine you have said your piece about us being demigods and the like, but where is the proof?"
Percy snapped his fingers and formed a trident out of the water in the air and twirled it around, "proof enough for you?"
"Wow!" Nico shouted rushing towards Percy, "that's so cool! Your a son of Poseidon right? If not you're probably a son of Triton or something! Wait can I do that? Are we children of Poseidon too?!"
"Ah, no, no you are not," Percy turned to Bianca, "proof enough for you Bianca?"
The girl didn't respond, she was still too stunned at the sight of the water trident in Percy's hand.
"Huh, guess that's a reasonable reaction," Percy said as he turned the water back into steam letting go of the weapon.
"So who is he?" Nico asked excited.
"Who is who?" Percy asked.
"Our dad!"
"Oh, right. Well if I was to guess I would say-"
"Look!" One of the campers pointed as the symbol of Hades, a purple helmet, appeared over both Nico's and Bianca's head startling the two.
"God damn it Hades I was waiting for a dramatic reveal!" Percy cursed aloud;
