II.
Jason
Jason was so glad to be back, but slightly embarrassed that Percy had thought that he was Annabeth's new boyfriend. He thought that Percy was a cool enough guy though. Jason looked over at Percy, who seemed to know his way around camp pretty well. Percy looked at Jason, and asked him if he wanted to give anyone else a tour. Jason thanked him and told him he would take Piper, and that Hazel and Frank would come with him. Percy nodded and thanked him.
"Wait Jason," Percy called. "I just want to tell you that your cabin hasn't been used. You know the praetor one, so you can still use it."
"Oh… Thank you."Jason said shocked, and realized that Percy Jackson is a humble guy, and isn't thirsty for power, defiantly not Roman.
Percy turned away and headed the other way with Annabeth and Leo, but the last things Jason heard him say was, "I need to change out of this toga. It is totally not comfortable." Jason chuckled, remembering that used to be one of the reasons he hadn't liked being praeator.
Jason turned toward his tourists and clapped his hands together, "You guys ready to see Camp Jupiter?"
Jason talked all about the history of Rome, but was glad that Hazel and Frank were there to fill in all the parts he missed, he wouldn't want to be embarrassed, especially in front of Piper. Man why does she have to be so beautiful. Jason shook that thought out of his head and continued the tour; Piper always seemed to have the perfect questions for each section of architecture, or any specific building. Jason always answered slowly, and made sure he always looked a smidge to the side of her face. To avoid melting into her gaze. He was afraid that he would become mesmerized by the ever changing color of her eyes.
Hazel and Frank always seemed to be whispering, or exchanging worried glances for some unknown reason, when not filling in for Jason.
Jason only managed to catch a few words from their conversation.
"Leo... Sammy... Valdez...Grandson...Doors..."
Along the tour they visited the temples. Frank and Hazel decided to go visit their parents temples, and told Jason and Piper that they would catch up to them later.
Once they left, Jason automatically felt self conscious.
"So…" Jason began.
"Wow, this place is amazing Jason. I always wanted to travel to Rome, and this is pretty close."
Jason looked at Piper, and made the mistake of looking into her eyes, and was instantly hypnotized.
"Jason," she seemed distant.
"Jason!" her voice sounded desperate.
"JASON, WAKE UP!" Her voice was layered with urgency and magic.
Jason suddenly snapped out of his daze, and his vision cleared. He looked into Piper's eyes again, but wasn't sucked into them. "Yes Piper?"
"Thank goodness you are alright." Piper put her arms around Jason and gave him a tight hug, then realizing what she was doing let go. She looked to the floor, her face getting red.
Jason also looked away, his face burning.
"So… are you ready to finish the tour?" Jason said quickly.
"Yes, I am ready."
Jason finished the tour quickly, so they sat down on a bench while he asked about how she liked camp so far.
"I like it, it is beautiful, but… Camp Half-Blood seems more like my home."
"I understand what you mean, but in my case the other way around."
They were silent for awhile, listening to the sounds around them.
"This camp seems more like a war ground than Camp Half-Blood to me. I mean, it seems so much more military and orderly, not exactly the kind of environment I would like to surround myself in all the time."
Jason was silent, he now understood why he had liked Camp Half-Blood so much, everything seemed so chill. You know calm and easy going.
Jason heard something coming up behind them, and stood up. He breathed out when he saw it was only Percy, Annabeth, and Leo. Leo had a mischievous glint in his eye as he said, "Dude, the Field of Mars is totally awesome."
Jason walked over to Percy and whispered, "What did he do?"
"Leo had made a little bomb, and lit it."
Jason's eyes got wide, "What happened?" Jason didn't even bother whispering this time.
Percy shrugged his shoulders, "It blew up, but it only had a one foot radius, so no one got hurt."
Piper walked towards Leo and bopped him on the head. "Seriously, why did you do that, we could have gotten in a ton of trouble."
Leo rolled his eyes, and said, "Trust me no one was there, and it would have blown up better if I had had more gun powder."
Piper sighed. "So how did you guys like the tour?"
"It was amazing, "Annabeth exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement. "The architecture was incredible, all the angles seemed to be put in perfectly, the buildings are all sturdy, and the material was priceless. I think I might put some of those designs in Olympus." Percy smiled and squeezed Annabeth's hand, with pride and affection.
Frank and Hazel, who had just walked by, exchanged confused expressions.
"She is an architect for Olympus." Percy explained.
"Oh, that's cool," Frank said slowly.
Awhile later, a scarecrow looking boy ran towards them, obviously Octavian, an evil grin stretched across his face.
"Well, looks like you new folks have managed to do a terrible thing on your first day."
Leo thinking Octavian ment the bomb studdered, "I... um... didn't... really-"
"I am surprised you survived while you were doing it."
"You seem too excited for this to be good, what has happened?"Jason spit out.
"I can't believe you guys have managed to help Reyna's dogs escape, and still speak to me in such a tone."
"What do you mean Reyna's dogs have escaped, they are loyal to only her?" Percy asked.
"I mean, just that."
