Chapter Text
As if Jupiter was like Zeus himself.
He was more disciplined, more self-controlled, more of a leader than that immortal disaster. Sure, he is unfaithful from time to time, and Juno wrecks havoc across the seas once he fathers another child.
As Zeus, he had fathered Thalia Grace with that 80’s starlet Beryl Grace, who explicitly had a mental breakdown after Zeus abandons her because she can’t handle breakups real well. And her most brilliant idea, was to imagine Zeus, but as Jupiter this time.
To say that Jupiter was not amused by this mortal his Greek counterpart had an affair with is not true. He sees why Zeus became attracted to this woman, and not just because Beryl was pretty; she used to be so loving and endearing, which in turn was gone once she started demanding from him more presents, and, one of the most controversial conditions in his lifetime, make her immortal.
It was all ready bad enough that Thalia Grace was born to her, but she had also captivated Jupiter’s heart.
He inclines his head towards Jason Grace’s direction. He had few regrets. Most of them had faded a lifetime away, but Jason Grace.
It was the first time he felt regret in centuries, as he made Beryl name her son Jason, after Hera/Juno’s favorite mortal hero, and sold his life to his own wife.
He loved Thalia and Jason so much, but splitting them up has to be done, as Juno wants him to grow up away from his family, into the loving hands of the legion. And all he did was sit back and watch as Thalia and Jason have a hasty reunion.
He feels as if it was too late to rekindle the relationship they were supposed to have, as brother and sister. He would have had to break them up, lest they fight. And protect them from his wife’s wrath if she felt as if they were wasting her time.
