In case you haven't noticed, I'm trying to give a little more background to this kind of chapters

Alternate universe where the events of the Justice League series from 2001 to 2006 and Percy Jackson take place in the same world, but the events of the Justice League begin until 2020, when Percy is 27 years old

All the demigods in Camp 'Half Blood' had at least once heard about the legendary Amazons of the mythical island of Themyscira

On the other hand, the Amazons of the island of Themyscira were a group, not like those who follow the daughter of the Roman goddess Bellona, Hylla Ramirez, that were founded thousands of years ago by the daughters of Ares. On the other hand, the Amazons of the island of Themyscira were a group of warriors who, unlike the beliefs that mortals had, were not descended from Ares, They were created by all the Greek gods of the Olympic council and several minor gods in a time when they were much more sensible and prudent, less paranoid and proud, so that the Amazons were the protectors of the mortal world, as well as messengers of love, compassion and peace.

Created from the blood of the gods, who mixed their ichor with the souls of women who sought rebirth, being favored and blessed by a large number of gods who gave them eternal youth, strength, speed, agility, dexterity, resistance, and more superhuman abilities...

Although no one knew anything about them since the Trojan War, they were admired by many of the Greek campers, especially by the demigoddesses because of the stories about them, they were even respected by the hunters of Artemis, but when they were most needed none of them appeared...

No one knew anything about them when Kronos along with many Titans tried to reform to defeat the gods and rule the world once again. Not even when Gaia wanted to eliminate the gods and humanity from the world. So the respect and admiration that was held for the Amazons of Themyscira, it was quickly lost...

That's why Percy wasn't exactly receptive to Amazon Princess Diana when the two of them along with some heroes from the mortal world who had appeared over the next 10 years after Gaea's defeat, were telepathically summoned by an alien from Mars who was trying to prevent Earth from being invaded by another alien race.

Although Sally Jackson's son thought most of the madness of his life had ended with the defeat of Gaea, at least the son of Poseidon was sensible enough not to rest on his laurels since the defeat of the primordial goddess, as in the last 10 years he had been improving not only by the ease with which his half-brother Chryasor defeated him or as a way to overcome his stay in Tartarus, but also to better control the powers he gained from being blessed by the Olympic Council by having helped save Olympus a second time and having rejected divinity once again.

So in those ten years he continued fighting, hunting monsters, going to rescue half-bloods and doing many more searches, although it cost him his relationship with Annabeth, because she just wanted to end all the supernatural madness, to stop fighting.

But being part of a group of superheroes to protect the planet was not something that was in his plans for his life or something he had thought about since he was a small, innocent child. At least the full-body suit or rather magical armor that Tyson gave him at age 25, helped him hide his identity from mortals and for a few weeks of how nosy Batman is, that guy is going to end up dead because of his curiosity. Not to mention the different points of view that his companions have when dealing with supervillains, with Batman, Superman and Flash being the ones who have a very different opinion, while Green Lantern and J'onn J'onzz were open to the way of thinking of the son of Poseidon, but only Hawkgirl and Diana were the ones who had no problems.

Plus, Percy doesn't spend as much time being a superhero, or saving the day, as the others do.

There was also the detail of how surprised Diana was to learn that Percy was the son of Poseidon, because Hermes said it when he appeared after they managed to repel the alien invasion and Jackson was about to leave, only for the messenger god to say that Zeus had At Hades' request, he wanted Percy to help Diana adapt to the modern world.

Which was enough for Percy to know about Diana's lineage, but he was very surprised, because aside from the black hair, she didn't look like Nico, Hazel or Bianca. (1)

Needless to say, Jackson was not at all pleased to play babysitter, and Diana was even more surprised when in the following days she noticed this and questioned his reason, only to have the son of the sea tell her about what the Greco-Romans had been through in recent years…

—|—|—|—|—|—

Diana felt her heart shrink, knowing that the Titans, Giants, and Gaia, once again threatened to plunge the Earth into chaos, while she and her sisters had remained blissfully unconscious in the safety of Themyscira, while others had had to bear the weight of the battle.

"Why didn't anyone tell us?" Diana asked with anger and shame mixed in her voice that day.

"I don't have the slightest idea" Percy answered honestly as well as adding another detail to his explanation "But if you come across a half-blood, don't be surprised if they aren't very friendly. The respect and admiration we had for the Amazons of Themyscira disappeared... especially among the Greeks"

Stunned by the revelation, Diana felt the weight of her and her sisters' isolation. The Amazons had sworn an oath to defend humanity, but they had remained oblivious while the demigods, huntresses, legates and the other Amazons fought against titans, giants and Gaea.

—|—|—|—|—|—

But Percy cursed his luck several times over the next few weeks, as Diana seemed to be more serious about acting like a modern-day heroine, saving people, arresting criminals, and more.... as well as wanting to visit the demigods to apologize on behalf of the Amazons and wanting to know how she could make amends for the Amazons' lack of support.

—|—|—|—|—|—

Percy was massaging the temples of his head, wondering if all the Amazons in Themyscira were like this or if Diana was the most idealistic one, while they were in his apartment after he returned from Olympus where his father informed him that many of his subjects wanted to protest against the surface inhabitants for the pollution of the oceans, as well as the various submarines of the nations in the Atlantic…

As if he didn't have enough problems to deal with.

"Diana, I don't think that's a good idea."

"Why?" asked Diana, feeling the annoyance that had been growing in recent weeks at Percy's refusal to introduce her to other demigods or to take her to the camps.

"Look to begin with and don't take this the wrong way, but as far as we know the Amazons don't know about the demigods, or what has happened in recent years, and even if you are their princess, we don't know what the rest of them think about your plan. Or do you forget that you left the island without telling anyone?... First let me find out what the gods said or did to them in Themyscira"

"...Well, I'll also talk to my mother and the rest of the Amazons" Diana responded after a sigh "and why else do you think it's not a good idea?"

"Aside from current opinions?... Leaving aside all that, and that some of the half-bloods I know are imbeciles or idiots..." Percy said, thinking of some of the children of Ares, as well as other half-bloods he's met who would only cause trouble. "Most of them are teenagers…hormonal teenagers…at least on the Greek side" Jackson commented, but still did not say, some details with the Romans, the huntresses, the other Amazons and others about the Greeks

"I know their youth may make them more reluctant to forgive, but-"

"You're right, but that's not what I meant" the son of the sea interrupted her while giving her an incredulous look that only grew when she spoke again.

"Then what?" Percy's gaze only grew in disbelief

"You're kidding, aren't you?"

"kidding?... about what?"

"Diana, you are one of the most beautiful women in the world, you could be mistaken for Aphrodite herself. Save yourself the sermon, it's true" The last thing was added by Percy when he saw that she became rigid because he dared to compare her to a goddess and she was about to scold him for that 'offense' to the gods, but he was just being completely honest as he had been for a couple of years.

But Diana was still amazed at the freedom and manner in which Percy dared to speak about the gods without being punished for it, or that he visited Olympus frequently… but for him it was just another Tuesday.

But nothing in his peculiar life prepared Poseidon's son to be suddenly kissed by Diana as soon as they returned to their apartment after a certain Greek incident

"Diana... what was that?" said Percy after moving away from her who had kissed him out of nowhere

They had just returned from the Watchtower, after returning from saving Themyscira from an idiot mage who decided to open a portal/door to the Tartarus that the Amazons guarded, to free the titans that had already reformed.

Knowing that improved Sally Jackson's son's opinion of the ancient Amazons, and would probably improve the opinion of the other half-bloods... At least until the half-bloods learned that they had an opinion very similar to the few Artemis hunters who were at least 100 years old, about men.

On the bright side, the escaped Titans had Bob and Damasen as prisoners, as they planned to use them as a sacrifice so they could restore Kronos once again, so Percy was able to free them, while the League faced off against Coeus, Krios, Perses, Pallas, and Hyperion, making it easier to fight the five Titans

The queen was not very happy that he defended Bob and Damasen when it was all over. And Percy's opinion of the Amazons fell even further when Hippolyta declared that Diana was banished for having brought men to Themyscira, men who saved them.

However, Diana's banishment only lasted a few seconds, because Zeus, Athena, Hermes, Artemis, Hades and Poseidon appeared. Percy had never seen anyone kneel so quickly to the gods, not even among the Romans. But for once he could respect that the gods were beginning to take their own responsibilities more seriously. He didn't stay though, as he took Bob and Damasen to the Greek camp across the ocean.

And now that they returned his home, Percy was about to ask Wonder Woman what happened after he left, since the rest of the League had to retreat shortly after he. And Diana only explained in the Watchtower that the gods expected more interaction from the Amazons of Themyscira with the world

So where did this come from?

"You and I are going to have sex"

"…"

A grain of dust could be heard hitting the floor because of how quiet the living room of Percy's apartment had become at Diana's brusque response. Finally, after several moments of silence, Sally Jackson's son spoke.

"W-What?"

"You heard me" Diana said as she approached the incredulous savior of Olympus again and ran a hand over his chest that was not covered by his armor because it had become the trident-shaped necklace he wears around his neck. "I'm quite frustrated and upset... I hoped you could help me change that"

"Ahh... Diana, there are simpler and more common ways to release frustration, stress and annoyance," Percy said, as he tried to ignore Diana's touch on his shirt and his closeness.

"This is common in Themyscira," Diana commented, but when she said the name of her home, she couldn't help but say it with annoyance, she couldn't be blamed considering what happened a few hours ago

Percy will always deny it for the rest of his life, but having seen Queen Hippolyta just a few hours ago, as well as other Amazons like that redhead who is named after the goddess of the hunt, and hearing that response made him imagine Diana along with her Amazon sisters in their way of releasing stress…
