*One quick note! I was going to post this on the last PJ Coundown oneshot but a special shoutout to all reviews, favorites, followers (expect a pm soon!)and Insane PJO LOver, who's reviews made my day and made me feel absolutely wonderful. Based on "The Lost Hero". I do not own anything that has to do with Percy Jackson.
Jason blamed Piper. Thalia was visiting camp in a few days, and Piper had taken one look at the Zeus Cabin and had declared it unfit was a female inhabitant (whatever that meant) and that they needed to clean it out. (Not that he was complaining, more time with Piper after all. Though it turned out later that Thalia opted to stay in the Artemis Cabin but that wasn't the point).
The clean out had gone well enough (though Piper almost found Jason's week old dirty underwear which was the closest Jason had ever gotten to embarrassment by death, but again, besides the point). Jason was sweeping up a bunch of decade old cobwebs in the corner when he found a picture.
It was old with age, crinkled at the corners. In it was Thalia, by now, he could recognize her on sight, and a black haired boy with sea green eyes was with her, in mid laugh. Percy Jackson.
He didn't look like much, scruffy, like a prankster or a thief, but not a warrior. Anything but the person who led to the final downfall of Sat- no, Kronos (Greek camp, Greek names, it led to less confusion).
Somehow though this person had saved this camp, had saved lives. Percy, from what he heard, had become a hero, yet had retained his friendhship and his humbleness. All the while, however, he had become the savior of Olympus. Jason wished he did things as great as that. Sure, he had led the battle on Mt. Tam last year, but it didn't really match up to battling the Titan Lord, now did it?
Jason felt more and more nervous the more time he spent away from Camp Jupiter, and especially with the nightmares he had been having...
Listen. Jason thought. You seem to mean a lot to Thalia, a lot to Annabeth, and a lot to this camp. I'll make you a deal. I look after your camp, you look after mine. Try not to destroy it, I won't destroy yours. Make sure that you watch over Reyna, and I'll look after Annabeth. We'll make sure they don't do anything stupid. Just... Please watch them when I can't. If my dreams are right... Well, they're going to need help. I'll... Well, we'll see each other soon. The Argo II is almost done. Just please, protect them. Please protect my camp while I can't. And, Jason added as an afterthought, as an added bonus, I'll make sure Annabeth doesn't kill you too hard next week.
