Hey so I'm back. I've done some reading into Greek myths and I found a couple of heroes that were abandoned by their Parent gods, both of them aren't that famous but ones particularly obscure but has an Important and Ironic part to play in this. Right so onto chapter 2.

Annabeth POV

It was insane, the Romans would probably stab her as soon as she got to close but Percy ran towards her as well so she was out of the Romans arm distance.

When they reached each other they embraced. They kissed and it was quickly deepened and she began to realise he hadn't shaved in the last few months his face was covered in bristle he'd probably had bigger problems judging from the holes in the houses. Then a flood of emotions flooded her, love, anger, relief.

Those emotions then became shame. Annabeth was hit buy it like a bullet, she was ashamed of all the times Percy had been there for her, Mt St Helens, even the sea of monsters when she'd tried to kill herself and all she'd done was tease, bully and argue with him. She knew she didn't deserve him and yet he still loved her.

For a second Annabeth almost collapsed. Percy caught her when she cursed herself. Weakness was a luxury she couldn't indulge in right now, maybe later when she and Percy were alone but not now.

"I-I-I" Annabeth began clumsily but Percy hushed her.

"Shh, it's Ok," Percy said quietly, he was about two inches taller now and it really added to his physique.

"Annabeth," Percy began. "I have a question one I've been afraid to ask for ages but," oh gods what was he going to ask her? She could feel herself blushing at the thoughts in her mind. "Do you have a belly button?" That was the question? Eight months and THAT'S what he asks? He already knew the answer after that night in Paris.

She couldn't think she just lashed out hitting him square in the face. It was a stupid thing considering he was invulnerable but she soon discovered that was no longer the case. The Romans surged forward but Reyna yelled them off "Hold." She yelled.

"THAT'S WHAT YOU ASK?" Annabeth saw him grinning. He was going die very slowly and very painfully.

"Good to see you still love me and that hit brought some more of my memory back." He was still grinning, and she couldn't help but smile, as she forced back tears of joy and stress.

"Well, you can just feel the love. Reyna do you really want to let these…" Octavian paused searching for a word to describe them, "Things," he decided on "Into to camp, there are security risks."

Percy put his arm around her and she appreciated the gesture though she liked to be independent the protective statement reassured her he was still his loving protective but not controlling self, taking her insult as his insult, standing between her and monsters, or at least trying though it sometimes required some advice from her though he did sometimes finish the job himself.

"Octavian what risk is there of 3 unarmed friends and your former praetor and no doubt friend," Percy had said friend to box Octavian in he had to like Jason because if he didn't, that was an insult to Zeus or Jupiter whatever they'd both smite him for it. "Surely Rome can handle that." She couldn't help feeling ashamed again, here Percy was standing up for them again, they had to start speaking and soon otherwise it would look like they were too weak and had to have Percy handle all there problems for them.

"Well then let them speak for themselves." Octavian said.

"We would if shut up for a second." Shit. Who let Leo speak? Piper pushed Leo back into the lake.

"What he meant to say," Piper began. "Was that we need to talk to you in a civilised fashion so we can talk about Gaea and how best to use Rome's might to crush her." Was pouring respect into charmspeak. Octavian began to settle down but Reyna gave her a guarded look, Annabeth guessed she knew exactly what Piper was doing. By this time Leo had managed to pull himself out of the lake but looked pretty pissed.

"We'll need a senate meeting." Jason told them. Everyone Annabeth guessed was involved in the senate meeting nodded and all the other faces looked envious of what was about to go down.

"In an hour, first I need to talk to Octavian about his less than satisfactory control of this situation." Reyna said as if he wasn't there, he went purple with rage.

"I'll meet and greet my family with Hazel and Frank while you're doing that." Percy agreed, Annabeth liked how he said my family not "the visitors."

….

When most of the Romans had dispersed except Hazel and Frank Jason and Percy introduced everyone.

"So this is the famous Annabeth." Hazel said Percy blushed. Annabeth gave him a curious look.

"You remembered me?" She asked him.

The question was directed at Percy but the big kid Frank answered for him.

"Remembered you? He couldn't stop talking about you. We barely had time to complete the Quest.''

Annabeth couldn't help but stare at Percy. He remembered her? She'd gone through all her worry for nothing?

"Unfair." Jason said. "I remembered no one." He looked genuinely upset.

"Yeah but did you wake up surrounded by wolves? Then have to travel cross country strangle a sea monster and kill a couple of a Gorgons 6 or 7 times?" Percy asked.

"No but I had to fight Porphyrion bear handed." Percy looked impressed and gave him a nod of recognition.

"Why don't we look around the ship?" Leo said breaking a slight tension between Jason and Percy.

Jason took Pipers hand they began to fly up to ship. Leo had parked it so the ladder was on the side of the water so Percy took her hand and began to walk across the water solidifying as they stood on it. Frank somehow turned into a large eagle. Like the Argonaut Annabeth thought. Hazel got on his back and they flew up.

"Come on Leo." Percy gesture with his free hand and Annabeth had seen his idea face and she felt sorry for Leo. "I'm keeping it solid."

"Ok." Leo boldly advanced and about ten steps in Percy let water collapse beneath him.

"Percy," Annabeth scolded.

"What, you have towel's don't you." Leo spluttered curses behind them.

….

When they were all on the ship Leo gave them the grand tour, after setting himself on fire he was much drier and much happier even though Frank had looked terrified for a moment. Annabeth wondered what that was about.

Leo started with the armoury. It was filled with Greek weapons.

"We assume you'll give us some Roman ones." Hazel nodded for some reason she kept on starring at Leo.

"Yeah, but do you have any bows?" Frank asked.

"Uh, yeah 10 in case they break and about a million arrows." Jason responded.

They then went to the training room which was about half that of camps but it was plenty for seven people. It was filled with sand and a small collection of seats.

"Wow." Hazel said.

"Cabin nine realy went all out on this one." Percy said.

"There shattered," Piper agreed.

Then they went to the Pegasi stables.

"Blackjack?" Percy asked.

The black Pegasus had got out of its stable and was now greeting Percy.

"Annabeth told us you could speak horse." Leo said looking mildly impressed.

Blackjack reared at Leo.

"S'ok boy. I'll get you some dohnuts soon." Percy calmed him down.

After blackjacks angry mental rant at Leo which Percy translated for them all they then visited the floor with the bedrooms. Annabeth was going to give Percy a surprise.

"Hey Percy come on in." She told him. He came into to his room followed by the others.

He caught his breath at the sight before him.

"Thought you'd like it." Annabeth told him.

Hope you liked this chapter, see you later :)
