There are times when Percy questions whether Annabeth's actions really reflect on her intelligence. For example, charging at a giant scorpion then taking a hit for her invulnerable boyfriend doesn't exactly scream "brilliant, unstoppable child of Athena."

At their apartment, Percy berates her for forgetting about his invulnerability.

"—I can take care of myself!"

Annabeth stops his hands from their medical work. Pulls him close. Kisses the frustrated demigod's nose teasingly.

"Guess I've been spending too much time with your seaweed brain." The hero frowns because he knows she'd do it again, invulnerable or not. He kisses her again anyway.
