(switching to Charlie but still third person)

Charlie walked with the group into a shelter that was built for these "gatherings" as Alby called them. She started to take in her surroundings a little more. A lot of boys surrounded them. One caught her eye in particular, probably because he was staring her down, but still. He was tall and very muscular. Asian probably, with black hair. He was wearing a jean shirt that stretched over his broad chest, even with his arms crossed. He seemed to notice her staring because he smirked. She rolled her eyes and quickened her pace so she caught up with Percy.

In the room several boys met in the front, while the demigods were forced to sit on the opposite side. Charlie stood close to Leo to make sure he didn't catch fire again, especially since they weren't in a good place for catching fire.

"Who are you people?" The blonde asked again.

"Uh, well, like we said, I'm Percy-" Percy started but the boy cut him off.

"That's not what I meant. I meant, well, who are you? That guy, Frank, just turned into an animal and back. You're clearly not human. Give us one reason why we shouldn't banish you this instant." He said sternly. Percy raised his eyebrows and glanced back to the group.

"We can't tell you that." Hazel spoke up.

"Why?" Alby asked.

"Because, you wouldn't believe us if we did." Charlie spoke up. The asian kid looked at her and she looked back for a brief moment.

"We've already seen a lot, including that guy just transform, and that guy catch fire, not to mention that guy flew." Gally mentioned. "It's not like anything new could happen." Charlie looked to Percy, who nodded to her.

"Fine… we're demigods." She said.

"Demi-what?" The blonde questioned.

"Demigods." Hazel sighed. "Half human, half god."

There was silence. Then one of the boys started laughing. "No way, you're insane!" He exclaimed.

"It's true." Charlie said flatly. Her tone clearly startled them. "Want us to prove it?"

Another silence. Charlie raised her eyebrow at all of her friends. "Well we can, but Leo might catch this place on fire and Percy might accidentally drown someone."

"Hey!" Both boys yelled at the same time, and Charlie shrugged.

"So it was you who brought water then?" The blonde asked, pointing at Percy.

"Uh, yeah." Percy mumbled. "Sorry about that, figured it was better than a human torch on the loose though. Sorry Leo." Percy smiled sheepishly.

"No problem." Leo gave a thumbs up.

"Hey, we've introduced ourselves, what about you?" Jason finally spoke up. The boys all looked at each other before Alby spoke up.

"I'm Alby, as you know. I'm the leader of this place. Second in command is Newt, then there's Gally, Frypan, Thomas," He listed a few others before getting to the end when he said; "And Minho." Charlie looked to the asian kid again, who looked at her too. She quickly looked away but she was sure she could see him smirk out of the corner of her eye.

"Okay, now that we got that sorted out-" Newt sighed, looking stressed. "let me get this straight, you don't know how you got here, yet you have your memories? Whats our world then like? We don't remember."

Percy glanced worriedly to Annabeth, the two of them talking silently. Charlie knew they shouldn't mention the chaos Gaea brought on the world.

"Oh you know, just like, high school and stuff." Percy said dumbly. Annabeth actually slapped her forehead.

"Percy…" She grumbled. He laughed nervously. The boys seemed to get the message, their faces darkening.

"It's something bad, isn't it?" Thomas asked.

"Uh, well, I mean it could be worse." Leo tried to smile but Charlie nudged him.

"Shut up will ya?" She sighed.

"How could it possibly be worse?" Piper groaned. Everyone sent her a glare.

"Well I mean, at least it's worse for the demigods." Frank tried to reason.

"Which means you mortals are pretty much good." Leo finished.

"Have you forgotten about those crank things?" Charlie whispered to Leo.

"Nope, but it's better off they don't know." He responded quietly. Charlie nodded and faced the boys again.

"I think it's fair to say some sort of punishment should happen." A boy said. "Just until we know we can trust them. Alby?" Alby nodded.

"Yeah, you're right." He said.
