Leo, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank and Nico all sat around the table on the Argo II not saying anything. They had just watched Annabeth and Percy fall (Likely to their deaths) into Tartarus.

Nico felt it was his fault. He was down there at the time. He should've had more power over the place; it was linked with the underworld right? He should've helped more. He should've...

Hazel felt just as guilty. She had been down there. She was supposed to have power over Earth right? She had manipulated earth before, why not now? Some child of Pluto she was...

Frank was just a miserable. He should've flown down there, turned into something fast and strong. He should've realised faster, maybe he would've gotten down there earlier. He should've...

Jason was on full self doubt mode. He was supposed to have power over air right? He had manipulated air currents before, why not then? Some child of Jupiter he was...

Piper was angry at herself. She should've noticed there were webs attached. She should've let Jason take Annabeth up first; she had been injured after all. She should've...

Leo felt he was blameworthy. He had built ship that had made the cave unstable, or more so. He had practically destroyed their chance of getting out with his ship. Some child of Hephaestus he was...

"Oh Gods... I can't believe Percy would come and find me after all I put him through." Nico said dropping his head.

"What do you mean?" Hazel asked.

"I met Percy three years ago..." He started. Wide eyes met his.

"That long?" "Why didn't you tell him you knew him at Camp Jupiter?" Frank and Hazel said together.

"...When he rescued me." More strange looks.

"He rescued you... and you didn't tell him anything at Camp Jupiter?" Jason said incredulously.

"That's not even the worst bit. He rescued me and my sister from a... a... monster of some sort. The monster kidnapped Annabeth... And Percy went crazy. They weren't going out back then." He sighed sadly.

"So kidnapping isn't new to them?" Piper said weakly. Nico realised everyone around the table was genuinely interested. He gave a small laugh.

"Not even slightly." His smile faded. "After that I pestered him like crazy, I didn't even realise how out of it he was. He and Thalia had a huge fight. She electrocuted him; he dumped a river on her. The usual except for actual anger in their actions." Jason froze.

"Thalia? I knew they knew each other but... are they that close?" Jason said a pang of jealousy.

"Oh yeah. They act all... you know but they're like brother and sister." Wrong words. Jason's eyes bulged.

"Well... more like cousins, because they are cousins." Nico amended quickly. There was an awkward moment of silence.

"So... what happened next?" Piper asked.

"Well there was a quest launched to find Artemis, who had also been kidnapped. Unfortunately my sister was on that quest. I knew Percy would follow them. I asked him to keep my sister safe." Everyone froze.

"You asked him to do what?!" Every person round that table knew it was impossible to be accountable for others when everything that happens is so unpredictable.

"I know, I know! I was young and I didn't know properly what it was like to be a demigod." He looked so tragic that they let it pass. Hazel's thought lingered though. Not because she blamed him, no. It was more the fact that Percy had suddenly entered their lives and yet it seemed he had always been there. Like with Nico, Hazel felt a connection to him (You know, brother and all) and felt protective of him. But also because he brought her back to life as well as helping her find a home. Percy came along and already knew Nico. He knew his sister, Bianca, who Nico never really told her about. With Jason, he lost a sister as well. Found her and suddenly finds out that Percy is a big part of her life.

"Bianca died and I blamed Percy completely. He had only promised to try to keep her alive." He looked sad. Everyone around the table understood why he felt so bad, you would after that.

"I ran away. He figured out I was the son of Hades before I did. He didn't tell on me either. He even rescued me again even though I may have tried to kill him or push him away but he kept me safe as he could." Everyone suddenly felt a lot of awe at Percy. "I think that may be his fatal flaw, loyalty. He would risk the world on saving one friend. And that's still not the worst." Everyone stared at Nico. A part of them couldn't help but feel uneasy around this guy. the other side pitied him he looked so hopeless about it. Though Nico would probably prefer the indifference to pity.

"I'm sure he didn't hold it against you. I mean he did come looking for you." Piper tried.

"I know." They all understood how that just made it worse.

"I wish we knew more about them. Most of us here are new at this." Leo said. Everyone turned to Nico.

"Oh, I don't know, I don't really hang around camp much and..." Suddenly a golden light surrounded them.

When it cleared they were all before the Gods. All twelve Olympians including Hestia.

"Who. Are. You?" Roared Zeus.

"Um..." Suddenly another glow of light and there stood Annabeth, Thalia, Rachel, Travis, Conner, Katie, Clarisse and Grover.

"Nico? Jason? Leo? Piper? Who are those two?" Annabeth asked.

"You know, when we found- oomph!" Leo started.

"You don't know them Annabeth?" Piper asked. Annabeth shook her head. "What's the date today?"

"Um... 4th of January, 2013." She said bewildered.

"No it isn't!" Said a God. "It's two thousand!"

"Of course! We're from different times! The Gods the furthest back, then us, then you guys." Annabeth said pointing at the different groups of people.

"Hermes go fetch Hades..." Zeus said.

"You're right... Hmm... You're very smart." Athena mused and Annabeth blushed.

"Why did you summon me?" Hades whined as he appeared with Hermes.

"Quit your whining and you might find out!" Zeus snapped then turned to the demigods, waved his hand and made chairs appear for them. "Why don't you introduce yourselves."

"Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." Athena beamed down at her which she returned but it was only a small smile as she didn't have her Seaweed brain back yet.

"Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares." Ares looked her up and down and decided she was a perfect fit.

"Grover Underwood, Satyr." Zeus growled suddenly.

"You let my daughter-" He roared.

"Calm down dad, I'm here, Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus and Lieutenant of Artemis."

"But- but-" Zeus stuttered.

"But I'm a tree? Not anymore." The Romans, Leo and Piper shared a confused look.

"My sister was a tree?" Jason asked completely confused.

"Sister?!" Sputtered Hades angrily.

"Yeah, Jason Grace, Son of Jupiter." Jason murmured uneasily. Pluto or Hades, which ever, was not the most favoured god.

"A ROMAN! With Greeks?" Half the Gods yelled.

"Yeah, don't worry about that, we don't want to give away the future." It took a while but soon things got settled.

"Thalia, I already have a Lieutenant, Zoe Nightshade." Artemis interrupted.

"Yeah well that's a long story." Thalia said sadly.

"Hey there! I'm Leo, the Amazing and Son of, drum roll please... Hephaestus!" Leo's hair suddenly crackled and burst into flame.

"Leo your hair is on fire." Piper said in a bored voice while the Gods eyes bulged.

"Whoops, my bad." He grinned. Piper rolled her eyes.

"Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite." The goddess in question had just been thinking about the girls strange beauty and now it all made sense.

"We're Travis..."

"And Conner Stoll."

"Sons of Hermes!" They said together. Hermes grinned at them as if he couldn't ask for better kids.

"Idiots. I'm Katie Gardener, daughter of Demeter." Demeter eyed her.

"Do you eat cereal?"

"Yeah, everyday for breakfast! What else would I have?" Demeter eyes turned watery.

"Oh I couldn't ask for a better daughter!"

"I'm Nico Di Angelo, Son of Hades." Then all Hades broke loose.

"You broke the oath!" Zeus thundered. "Don't tell me Poseidon is the only one who hasn't broken it!" Poseidon looked away flushed and the Demigods all shared a look.

"He was born before the oath and kept in a hotel that kept him the same age for seventy years!" Hades growled. "And it was an oath you forced me into and your daughter and son are right here!"

"Um... I'm Hazel Levesque... daughter of Pluto..." Another sharp look at Hades.

"She died Seventy years ago! I don't really understand..." Hades muttered.

"It's a long story." Hazel sighed.

"I'm Frank Zhang, Son of Mars." Ares looked him up and down, good enough he thought.

"And I'm Rachel Elizabeth Dare and the Oracle."

"New Oracle? My Oracle's not a mummy anymore?" Apollo asked. Rachel just nodded her head.

"Good so we have the introductions out of the way... Now why are you here?" Zeus pondered.

"I thought you summoned us." Annabeth frowned. Another bright light flashed and then there was a box with a note on it.

Hey gang! I was eavesdropping in on a few conversations and realised they mostly centred around one thing... or should I say person? Anyway I want you all to read these books, trust me, you should. And people from the future, you're not allowed to spill ANYTHING unless it's been revealed in the book. All the best, you favourite God, APOLLO!

"What's the book called?" Piper asked.

"Um... Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief. Hmm..." Leo frowned as he read it. Poseidon, Annabeth and Grover shared a look. Uh oh...
