(Amnesty) #59 - Half Truths [B:tVS/PJO, Part V]
title: Half Truths
word count: 200
fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians
challenge: #59 - oops
disclaimer: The words are mine; the worlds are not.
notes: Spoilers through The Last Olympian. Fifth in a series, following: i | ii | iii | iv.
summary: "Nothing!" Dawn replied, kicking her sister in the shin.
"It's kind of a long story," Dawn temporized, fidgeting.
Buffy squeezed her arm reassuringly. "Five years ago, Dawn just appeared in our lives like she'd always been there," she said, firmly. "We kept her. The end."
Dawn laughed shakily at that bare-bones summation. "...Or, not that long?"
"So, what-- you were born a teenager?" Percy said, throwing a startled glance at his girlfriend.
"Don't look at me," Annabeth shrugged. "My mom wasn't the only god ever born full-grown."
"Though it is uncommon," Chiron added. "I take it, then, that your mortal parent...?"
"Is not going to just leave her here, no matter who her other parent is," Buffy interrupted, scowling at him. "Especially not if it's Janus."
The camp director, the grumpy and probably not-human-either Mr. D, raised his eyebrows at that. "What does that Roman upstart have to do with anything?"
"Nothing!" Dawn replied, kicking her sister in the shin. At least Buffy hadn't mentioned Osiris, or worse, Glorificus; which-- oh, goddess, no! Just about any Greek god would be preferable to her.
Chiron frowned, eyeing her speculatively. "Perhaps a visit to Olympus is in order."
If that would finally end the suspense, Dawn was all for it. "Fine."
