I have an acount there is the site on my profile or you could totally just search JustPlain Pain (yes no space on first word) cuz I'm the only one! *waits as dylan crossed his arms* Dylan? are you going to do the diclaimer like always?

Dylan: I don't know. I'm still mad at you guys.

Me: Well get over it. The Dylan's Face story was not my Idea. It was St. Fang of Boredom's. (if you don't know who she is STOP LIVING UNDER A ROCK AND LOOK HER UP!) And they were extremely funny. *puts the bag over Dylan's head. Good. Not no more authors will die.

Interesting Fang: (if you don't know who i am go to Pain's profile and look under Screwed up clones) yeeah! I love that one!

Me: I know right?

Dylan: Can we just post the darn thing!

Me: Meh meh meh meh meh mehmehmeh! don't need to be so bossy. Sheesh.

Ch2: Alex's POV

"Mom!" Jackie hugged her and smiled. "Where were you? We got our butts handed to us by the Athena cabin." She pouted.

"Annabeth still at it, huh? You met Percy yet?" She asked her.

"Yes and their daughter Shannon."

"Good those are the people you want. I hope Nico showed you the ropes while I was away?"

Nico nodded and kissed her. "Everything go okay?"

"Define okay. If you mean I'm still alive and didn't kill anyone than yes, it went perfect." She smiled and kissed him again. "So what's up?"

"Hades is having problems and I need to go."

She groaned.

"But it will only be for a little while. Two three days tops." He said.

"Nico, you stood up to your father once for me. Now stand up for yourself. Tell him you have your own life now. You can't keep running to him every time he needs his shoes tied."

"I know, I know. But he's an all powerfull god that would squash me without hesitation. Plus he's my father. I have to."

"Well I have another meeting with a big cooperation and the Flock tomorrow."

"Take me." Jackie interrupted. "Dad can take Nick and I can go with you. Come on, Mom," She whined. "I want to go with you."

Alex shook her head. "No. Absolutely no. Uh-uh. No way. I will not risk the government knowing about you too. I already have people in congress fighting to keep me out of a government issued cage." She said.

Nico took her head in his hands. "Alex." He said. "It's okay. It's only for a little while. You can protect her can't you? It's just a meeting."

She took a deep breath. "Fine. But if anything goes wrong come straight back to camp. Got it?"

They all nodded.

"Okay then. Tomorrow we'll leave."


Alex woke up screaming in the middle of the night.

"Alex! Alex! It's okay! I'm here. It's okay." Nico took her into his arms and held her close. Thank the gods Jackie and Nick were in the Ares cabin that night.

She laid there, shaking as Nico held her. "The flashbacks are getting worse. So is the pain." She whispered and looked up at him. "I'm scared Nico. What if my expiration date is soon?"

"It's okay. I'm here. You're not alone. I've got you." He rubbed her back. "And you don't know you even have an expiration date."

"But still. What if If breaking down? From what Fang tells me, Max is having the skull-splitting headaches again."

"Well they we'll just have to make the best of the time we have." He started kissing her neck and rolled on top of her. And for a beautiful moment, they were fourteen again.
