5 months later, the long awaited update arrives!
---
A knock sounded through Wayne Manor, and Jason immediately knew who it was. Bruce had told his brothers and him that Estelle had invited Percy round.
If Jason was honest, he was super interested to meet Percy, Estelle described him like he was some sort of God, and while that was expected of a younger sister, he assumed Estelle was old enough to at least mention some of his flaws too.
Jason, much to his delight, managed to be the one to open the door, he only had time to take in tousled black hair and piercing sea-green eyes before Estelle bounded to the door,
"Percy!" The boy chuckled,
"Hey Sea-star," He said, hugging the girl tight, "I missed you." 
"Don't you ever leave me again, Seaweed-Brain," Estelle said, looking like she was doing an impression of someone Jason didn't know before bursting out laughing,
"All that's missing now is the judo-flip" A new voice said from beside the two, Jason looked up to see a tall blonde haired boy who seemed to be shining, 
"Apollo!" Estelle shouted, leaping out of Percy's arms and going to hug the blonde. Jason chose that point to speak up,
"Who are you?" He asked coldly,
"This is my Lester, my boyfriend," Percy said defensively, standing up from where he had knelt to hug Estelle,
"Estelle called him Apollo." Jason retorted, Percy snorted,
"It's a nickname, calm down," Percy said,
"Yeah, stop being an Octavian!" Estelle put in, laughing at what Jason assumed was an inside joke. The vigilante took a deep breath,
"Sorry, I'm just cautious. I'm Jason." Percy nodded, smiling at the name, 
"Percy," He extended his hand and Jason took it, when they touched, Percy felt a little spark of energy, that he had come to know as the feeling he had when he came into contact with one of his domains, go through his gut. 
Percy mentally went though his domains, Demigods, quests, tides, loyalty? No, could just feel that none of those fit, that only left, Heroes?
Percy shook his head, it didn't matter, he'd find out later.
"You're welcome to stay for dinner," Jason was saying to Apollo when he tuned back in, "But I don't think B would want you staying longer than that." Apollo nodded gratefully. 
I just took his hand, and Estelle's small hand in my other hand, and walked into Wayne Manor
(The temptation to just end the chapter here is immense)

Jason was severely struggling not to let the awkwardness get to him. 
Percy and Estelle were having an in depth conversation about some summer camp, with Lester pitching in from time to time. Jason just sat there, listening.
Never in the vigilante's life had he ever expected to he happy to see the replacement, but when Tim came into the dining room, Jason had to stop himself from sighing in relief.
"Percy! This is Tim, I made blue cookies with him, but he's not very good at cooking." Tim didn't seem to take offense at Estelle's comment, he was probably too sleep deprived to notice the insult. Percy chuckled quietly and nodded Tim in greeting.
Tim looked up from the coffee he somehow had, despite Dick sabotaging his coffee machine during his last visit, and finally registered his surroundings, 
"This is Percy?" He asked Estelle, who nodded proudly. Tim then surveyed the rest of the room, eyes dull, but alert, "And the blonde one?"
"My boyfriend, Lester, we call him Apollo." Percy said, a little defensively, Tim nodded,
"Dumb name, cool nickname, I like it." He said, before slumping down in his seat and falling asleep. 
"He reminds me of Nico." Lester said wistfully.
"Who's Nico?" Jason asked,
"My son's boyfriend." Lester answered casually, Jason narrowed his eyes,
"Not his actual son." Percy added with a sigh, "'polls just calls Will that because they look similar enough to be father and son." Percy said, Estelle giggled,
"You're not Nico's type." She said with a grin. Percy facepalmed and Apollo just burst out laughing. Jason was about to complain that they were speaking nonsense, when Bruce entered the room.
Estelle looked up, but Bruce's eyes went straight to Lester, which was unsurprising, Lester drew your eyes the same way the sun did, you looked at it, and then immediately regretted it when you're eyes burnt, or in Lester's case, he caught you looking and gave you a goofy grin.
Bruce's eyes slid around the table, noticing two new additions instead of one. He gestured to Percy, "Percy and..." Lester smiled and nodded in greeting, 
"I'm Lester, Percy's wonderful boyfriend." Bruce seemed to scan Lester, but upon finding nothing suspicious, he nodded back and say down, 
"You're welcome to stay along with Percy if it makes the two of you feel more comfortable." Bruce conceded, surprising Jason, who had never seen Bruce allow a stranger into his home for longer than a minute without running intense background checks (Jason really just forgot that Bruce is a serial adopter huh?). Lester nodded,
"Thanks you Mister Wayne." Lester said while giving Percy an indecipherable look. Jason shrugged it off and went back to his meal, this was going to be a long stay.

I did it! I completed the chapter! Normally I would read and reread the chapter to check for spelling and other errors, especially because I'm writing on my phone, but I don't think you guys deserve to wait any longer for this update, so hopefully this is acceptable.
ANYWAY, if you haven't given up hope on this book, then feel free to comment, vote and follow me.
Luv Ya, 
Hestia.
