    Summary

    “She’ll never claim me,” he whispered. Silena shook her head, eyes wild as she looked around for anyone who could be watching.

    “My mother doesn’t remember half of her children as it is,” she said with a note of bitterness. “If you do something to impress her, it won’t matter. Return the bolt in her name. She’ll claim you if you act the part. If you stay unclaimed then they'll figure out what you really are," she said, squeezing his hands tightly. Percy's heart sped up.

    "I - I don't know the first thing about Aphrodite-"

    "My mother was born of sea foam," Silena cut him off. "And if you're really who I think you are... you are the sea. You can pull this off," she said and touched his cheek. "Get the bolt. Survive," she said. Percy swallowed.

    "What if I can't act the part?" He asked. Silena's expression went blank for a moment. Slowly, she slipped off her bracelet and placed it in his hands.

    "If you're going to be one of us... you better learn."

    Or

    AU where Percy has to hide the fact he's a Big Three kid otherwise he'll be killed on the spot. Unfortunately for him, unclaimed kids tend to raise the most suspicion... but he might have found a loophole in the form of Aphrodite.

    Summary

    "Any thoughts, Mr. Spock?"

    The Vulcan was frowning, subtly and minimally, but a frown all the same as he stared at the ship that was definitely turning in their direction.

    "It may be in our best interest to hail the vessel for assistance, sir." He held up a hand to still whatever Jim might have said as the Alpha turned towards him, his brown eyes catching the Captain's. "It will be of no benefit to fire or flee, Captain. They will catch us and assume we are fleeing for an altogether different reason. If I am not mistaken, that is a Vulcan war ship."

    There was silence, tense between them both despite the noise that filtered around them, as Jim regarded his First Officer, his blue eyes narrowed in disbelief.

    "Vulcan's don't go to war."
