AN/ If anyone besides me still cares about this story I am extremely sorry this took so long I just had a pretty bad case of writer's block when it came to this story. I rewrote the first few paragraphs of this chapter multiple times before I was satisfied with them. there is also a trials of Apollo spoiler in this chapter since I have edited this story so it takes place after TOA. Despite this TOA is going to be a bit different from Canon. Regardless TOA probably won't be mentioned too much in this story partially because I haven't finished reading the last book yet. 

Percy's point of view

I eventually decided to stay in Starling city, at least for a while. I now know why a portion of it was reduced to rubble. I know it wasn't my dad, and it was actually a machine that caused the damage. I knew that I would most likely end up tangled up in something if I stayed here, but then again, I seem to run into trouble wherever I go.

Monsters would find me here just as easily as they would anywhere else, and I would just have to deal with them. I wanted to try and lay low for a while. I obviously had no idea how long that would last though, who knows what will happen since the fates seem to like messing with me and they certainly haven't made my life easy so far.

If I'm lucky I might have peace for a while, but since I'm almost never lucky I doubt that will happen. My guess is that the guy that saw me will probably say something, and someone will probably come looking for me and I will probably have to leave because of it. Either that or one of the gods will find me or someone from camp will manage to track me down.

I think I'm far enough away that no one from camp will come looking for me here, but then again who knows what will happen? I'd been in starling city for a short time now, and a lot had happened during that time. For a while, I did manage to lay low except for occasional monster attacks. Unfortunately, though I eventually attracted the attention of the local vigilante. One evening I was on my way back to the place I was staying at when a group of hellhounds attacked me. I fought them, but the entire time I felt like I was being Watched. After I killed the monsters the feeling hadn't gone away so I looked around warily trying to see who was watching me. I was just hoping that there weren't any more monsters about to attack me. I didn't see anyone so I thought I might as well keep going. Before I started walking again, I glanced around again, but this time I also glanced upward. I'm not sure why, I didn't expect to see someone watching me from the top of a nearby building, but that's exactly what I saw. It was starting to get dark, but I could tell that the person was the vigilante. I didn't know why he was even interested in me. I was basically just a homeless person. I hadn't done anything to attract attention that I knew of but then again, I always seem to have terrible luck.

Not only that but I also had an encounter with the newest vigilante. the blonde who has been going around fighting men who try to hurt women. You're probably wondering how that happened. Well ever since I got here I'd been staying in an abandoned house in the glades. It was probably abandoned after the quake because it seemed like if the quake had gone on for much longer the house probably would have collapsed. As it was a lot of damage had been done to the place, and I was pretty sure that people had probably looted it after it was abandoned. Anyway, one day when I was on my way back to the house I heard a woman scream, "No!"

Concerned I started to walk toward where I'd heard her.

Once I got closer I heard a male voice reply "Oh don't be like that, You know you want me,"

"Get away from me!" the woman replied, fear evident in her voice.

"No, and you're not going anywhere until I say so,"

I hurried over, I knew what the man was most likely about to do and I wanted to make sure that didn't happen. I certainly wasn't going to let him rape her.

I could see that he had her up against the wall of the alley they were in, holding her in place. Before he could do anything more to her I interrupted the situation.

"Hey back off asshole she clearly isn't interested,"

If my mom had ever heard me talk to someone like that she probably would have had my head, but now that she is gone she can't do anything about it.

The guy looked to be in his late twenties, or maybe his early thirties, I wasn't sure, but regardless he said, "You're the one that should back off kid, I could beat you to a pulp, but right now I'm more interested in her,"

He started to turn back toward the woman, he obviously thought I would just give up and walk away. I interrupted him again, "I'm not going to let you hurt her, so you might as well turn around and face me. I have much worse enemies than a douchebag like you,"

the man was clearly pissed now and as he began to turn toward me he said, "You asked for it kid,"

I dodged before he could punch me in the face. He was slow compared to everyone else I'd faced. Although I usually fight with a sword I was also perfectly capable of winning a fistfight. l aimed a punch at the guy's face and succeeded in breaking his nose. Clarisse would have been a more difficult opponent than that Disgusting idiot. He couldn't even hit me. He tried multiple times and failed. I just dodged or ducked every time he tried. In the end, I knocked him out cold.

The woman had run off while we were fighting so I guess she wasn't physically hurt. When I turned to leave I realized the new female vigilante was standing across the street, looking in my direction. our eyes met for a moment before she turned away and left. she had probably come to help the woman as well but hadn't interfered when I had the situation under control.

Third Person POV

At Camp Half-Blood, the demigods were wondering how they had ever made such a stupid mistake. they had turned against Percy despite the fact that they should have known better. Percy would have never done the things they had accused him of. Either way, they couldn't change it now, the best they could hope for was that Percy would eventually come back. If he did they all knew that they would apologize for betraying him.

Annabeth chase sat on the beach at camp Half-blood. Ever since Apollo had visited the camp, and proved to everyone that it had been wrong for them all to betray Percy, Annabeth had felt terrible. She wanted to go find Percy and Apologize to him, but doubts held her back. How was she supposed to find him, and even if she did would he even want to see her? She had betrayed him, he had every right to be mad at her for it.

Part of her hoped that she could find him and that he would forgive her and take her back. Regardless she also suspected that that was just wishful thinking, and she would probably just have to move on. Annabeth knew she still had feelings for Percy, she'd only gotten with Jacob because she had thought Percy had cheated on her, and because she thought she had feelings for him. She should have known that Percy wouldn't have cheated on her, but it was too late to change that now. Now that she knew that he was behind Percy's betrayal Annabeth no longer had any interest in being with Jacob either. technically it wasn't just his fault, he had just told them all lies, they should have known better than to believe them. Annabeth sighed as she continued to think about the mistake they had all made, and how she might be able to fix it. She was so distracted that she didn't even notice when someone walked up behind her and then sat down beside her.

Annabeth finally looked up when Piper said, "Annabeth, I understand that you regret what you did, and things are tough right now, we all feel the same way, we all betrayed Percy, we all lost Jason, but we can't just sit and mope about it. If you're the same strong brave daughter of Athena that I met when I first got here what do you think you should do instead of just sitting here feeling miserable?"

Annabeth sighed considering what she should do. Finally, she said, I should start training again, and I could try Iris messaging Percy, Maybe he'd be willing to talk to me despite what we all did to him,"

Piper nodded, a smile appearing on her face. she replied, "That's a start, You will get through this Annabeth, we all will,"

The two girls got up and walked back to camp to get back to training. Things had been difficult at Camp Half-Blood for quite a while now, After the giant war Apollo had shown up needing help to regain control over the oracles and defeat the triumvirate. Jason had died while helping him. After all three emperors were eventually defeated, things at camp had gone back to normal. That was when Jacob had arrived. It was clear to everyone now that he was jealous of Percy and that's why he had caused his betrayal. Now everyone at Camp Half-Blood was dealing with the loss of Jason and their regret for betraying Percy.

Percy Jackson was sitting in the abandoned house that he had been staying in for a while now. Honestly, he was kind of bored since there wasn't much he could do. Percy was surprised as he saw a flash of gold and then Apollo was standing in front of him. Percy jumped to his feet and in surprise said, "Lord Apollo, what are you doing here?"

Smiling, the sun god replied, "I came to see you for a couple of different reasons, "First of all, I came to tell you that I recently visited Camp Half-Blood and told them the truth about everything they accused you of. So now they know you didn't do any of it,"

Percy sighed he wasn't happy about that news, he suspected that he would probably start getting Iris messages from the campers since he was sure they would want to apologize.

Apollo continued, "The second reason I came here is because I like you Percy and I have decided that I want to give you my blessing,"

Percy took that news a little better than he had Apollo's previous statement. Looking at the sun god in surprise Percy replied, "Thank you, Lord Apollo..."

Percy would have said more except Apollo spoke again, "You don't have to call me Lord Percy, of all people you have earned the right to just call me Apollo. Percy was surprised once again. He had heard that having to work with the demigods to defeat the triumvirate and regain control of the oracles had changed Apollo, but he hadn't realized it had changed him this much. They didn't say much more as Apollo gave Percy his blessing before telling him some of the new abilities it gave him. 

AN continued/ I don't think it will take me as long for the next chapter of this story since I recently got some new ideas for it after I rewatched the first few seasons of Arrow.
