A/N The Avengers will probably become part of the story next chapter. 

Perseus was enjoying the gods' and demigods' reactions to his appearance and how Zeus had failed to kill him. Perseus decided to mess with them a bit more. Grinning, he said, "I'm in a good mood, I'm sure you have a lot of questions, ask me a few, but don't bother trying to ask about my plans for the war, I won't answer those,"

Piper was the first one to speak up, " What's happened to you? How could you torture and kill Annabeth, and where are you keeping Leo? Is he even still alive?"

Perseus replied, "Piper, that was four questions. I will answer most of them though, after all, I'm sure most of you are wondering about them as well, and the answer to them won't affect your chances to win the war, you will still lose no matter what I tell you,"

Still grinning, Perseus said, "A lot has happened to me, but what changed me the most was Tartarus. My time there darkened me a lot, but it was that along with everything else I've gone through that made me realize that you Olympians don't give a shit about your kids. I also realized just how much of a tyrant Zeus really is. He isn't much better than Kronos,"

Zeus was clearly pissed, but because he was still being pinned in his throne, he could do nothing more than shout angrily."And you are?"

Perseus replied, "Yes, I may have changed, but at least I still care what happens to my family and friends. Even if I don't have many of those anymore,"

He continued, "As for your second question, it was quite easy, my feelings for her were fading even before we left Camp Half-Blood. I've kept her locked up so she couldn't tell you about my plans before I was prepared enough for you to know. Because I no longer cared for Annabeth it was very easy to hurt her every time she tried to escape, and once I was ready to send her back to the camp. Killing her was just as easy. I just stabbed her through the heart, and that was that,"

Although the demigods didn't want to admit it, they were afraid of Perseus, the way he talked so calmly about torturing and murdering Annabeth unnerved them. He spoke about it like it had been just as easy as breathing, just as calmly as they might have talked about killing monsters.

He clearly had no remorse whatsoever. Many of the demigods were assuming that Percy was now either a psychopath or a sociopath. They didn't know that neither label truly fit what Perseus had become. He possessed some traits of both, and also lacked some traits that would firmly place him in one category or the other. For one, psychopaths are usually born that way, it's sociopaths who become what they are because of trauma. He also wasn't as impulsive as a sociopath would be and he had played a large role in planning for the war and his torture and killing of Annabeth Chase had also been planned ahead of time.

Perseus was still talking, "After I first turned against you idiots I tried to convince Annabeth to join me, since she was supposed to be smart I thought she would agree, but I guess she was stupider than I thought...

Athena interrupted him, "How dare you call her stupid! She was smarter than you could ever be sea spawn!"

Perseus rolled his eyes at the prideful goddess. Then he looked at Poseidon, "I guess you never told them did you Poseidon,"

Poseidon looked uncomfortable now that his former son's attention was now on him.

"Tell us what?" Zeus asked before eyeing his older brother suspiciously.

Perseus answered for Poseidon, "Oh not much really just that he has known that I had turned against you since not long after I left Camp Half-Blood. He disowned me after he found out, but as you can see that hasn't stopped me from trying to overthrow you,"

To say Zeus was furious was an understatement. He looked ready to smite Poseidon with his master bolt, but since he was still being forced to stay on his throne he went with the next best option. He started ranting at Poseidon. At first, Percy found that amusing but he quickly got tired of the angry tirade.

"Enough!" he shouted, silencing everyone including the still angry sky god. In the end, Zeus resorted to simply glaring at his brother. Perseus continued, "You had two more questions didn't you Piper?"

Piper nodded nervously.

"I will answer them, although I might not give you the answers you want. Leo is fine, although he is somewhere where you can't find him, and I'm not going to tell you where that is, all I will say is that he is in my palace,"

"Since when do you have a palace?" Jason questioned.

"Since I became a god, really Jason I thought you would have figured that out by now. I guess you are more like your father than I thought,"

Despite his annoyance at the insult to both his and his son's intelligence, Zeus found himself asking a question, "Why should we believe you are a god? None of us gave you godhood. Prove what you are saying is true!"

Percy rolled his eyes again, he seemed to be doing that a lot. He replied, "The Fates themselves made me a god, it seems they are tired of your bullshit Zeus. As for proving it, well, how do you think I got in here in the first place? How do you think you're being forced to stay on your thrones? Fuck you're stupid!"

for once Zeus stayed silent as Perseus continued, "If that isn't enough for you here's more," Perseus stopped hiding his powerful aura and it had an immediate effect on the demigods. The demigods tried and failed to resist the urge to kneel before him. If they hadn't been pinned to their thrones even the gods would have found it difficult to resist the same urge. Perseus was planning on leaving soon, So he released the gods and demigods, allowing them to move again. Ares was the first one to move, he fought the urge to kneel before Perseus and stood defiantly, He spoke, "Your not that powerful Punk, I should kill you now,"

Once again Perseus rolled his eyes. He replied, "I seem to recall beating you when I was twelve, and just a demigod,"

Ares scowled I'll still kill you Punk,"

"Well, if you're that determined to die I guess I'll let you,"

Perseus summoned his sword to his hand before saying, "This is your last chance to back out Ares, although you will look like a coward if you do it now,"

Ares glanced at both Hera and Aphrodite who were both trying to convince him to back out. He looked back at Perseus and summoned his own sword. Just as the fight was about to start they were interrupted as Hestia Spoke. She said, "Please Perseus have mercy, we don't want to fight you,"

Perseus replied, "Sorry Hestia...

Before he could finish his sentence he was interrupted as Ares attacked while he was distracted. Perseus wasn't that distracted though and he easily blocked Ares' sword.

Everyone else in the throne room watched the fight with wide eyes, especially the demigods. Ares couldn't land any blows at all, while Perseus had already given him several minor wounds. Perseus was just toying with the war god, and he suspected everyone knew it too. Perseus eventually tired of the fight and knocked Ares to the floor unconscious. Moments later Ares disappeared Seconds later Perseus also left leaving the gods and demigods confused. Only one demigod knew what Perseus had done, and that demigod was Nico Di Angelo. He knew where Ares probably was, but he certainly wasn't going to tell anyone. He didn't want Chiron or the gods to find out that he was a spy. Especially not now when the gods looked furious. Even under normal circumstances, the gods would probably kill him if they found out he was a spy.

Nico might have been more comfortable in the underworld than most, but he still wasn't ready to actually die. Nico had done his best to feign shock when Perseus had shown up at the meeting. He'd also had to hide his amusement several times as Perseus Insulted the gods. After Perseus left Zeus insisted on continuing the meeting without Ares. The gods were going to contact the Avengers because most of them were actually Legacies. Nico knew that once the meeting ended he would have to tell Perseus everything that happened after he left.

After he left the throne room Perseus returned to his palace. He knew Nico would tell him about the rest of it once it ended. In the meantime, He went down to what he supposed was the dungeons of his palace. He passed the cell where Leo still was before moving on to one further down the hall. Perseus entered it, and lying on the small bed was the still unconscious war god.

With no more than a thought on Perseus's part shackles appeared on Ares' wrists and ankles. They weren't normal shackles though, they were magical, they were made of imperial gold, and they would suppress Ares's powers, and weaken him. Perseus did not want him to escape, and since Ares was one of the gods that Perseus liked the least he planned to have some fun with him later. Despite what he'd said in the throne room he'd never intended to give Ares a quick death, for a moment he imagined cutting into the god's flesh, and a sadistic smile formed on his face at the thought.

Just as Perseus was about to leave for now the war god began stirring. Perseus decided to wait until Ares fully woke before leaving. Ares woke to see Perseus looming over him. It was only when he went to move that Ares realized that he was shackled. His red fire eyes blazed, "You can't keep me here punk, I will escape and kill you,"

Perseus snorted, "Good luck with that Ares, those shackles are enchanted to suppress your powers and your godly strength. And you've already tried to kill me twice and failed both times. You aren't getting out of here,"

"Why didn't you kill me?" Ares asked. He did have a guess for why, he just hoped he was wrong.

Perseus scoffed, "Did you really think I was going to give you a quick death? No, I plan to spend a lot of time with you before I let you die,"

Ares gulped He would never admit it but he was slightly afraid as he looked up at Perseus. His dark eyes and maniacal grin left him wondering what kind of tortures were in his future. As those thoughts were going through Ares' mind Perseus punched him in the face for no obvious reason before leaving the cell.

Perseus did have a reason for punching Ares, but it was just because he felt like it. After that, he spent some time with Khione before he had to go see Nico in order to find out what else happened during the meeting.
