Percy woke up to hear sounds of arguing coming from upstairs. What the...? He frowned jumping up from his bed, throwing some clothes on and walking out the door heading up the stairs on to the deck. Hearing the obvious voices of Annabeth and Leo yelling at each other and occasionally hearing Jason or Piper trying to calm them down. He came into view and decided to take control of the situation.
"HEY!" He yelled causing the arguing to stop and 4 heads to turn and look at him. "What in Hades is going on here?" Annabeth scowled and turned to Leo.
"This idiot son of Hephaestus is trying to kill us!" She said getting louder with each word, Leo glared turning to her.
"I am not! I was taking us the right way to Gaia but you, the so called daughter of Athena, are persistent on leading us to doom!" Leo argued back while Percy just stood their raising his eyebrow.
"Ok I have no idea what is going on." He stated and Jason walked over while Ciel and Sebastian appeared behind Percy.
"Ok Perce, Leo was leading us along the course we decided but Annabeth calculated that it will take too long so she said we should take the Mountain route and it will be quicker but Leo said it will be blocked by the mountain gods, hence the argument." Jason explained, he sighed, "Me and Pipes have been trying to stop them but...they won't back down." Percy nods and Ciel steps forward.
"I agree with Annabeth, wouldn't it be better to get there quicker on a tougher route than get there on a safe route and be too late?" He says looking at the others, Sebastian nods in agreement and everyone starts arguing again. Percy groans in annoyance and looks at them all,
"Listen! Be quiet, if you can't choose, land or air then we will just travel in the water! We can get there by using the ocean. It's safer. Ok? Good." He looks around asking for anyone to challenge him before he turns and walks out Annabeth following him Ciel and Sebastian walking out talking together going to their room.
Annabeth walks up to Percy, a slightly embarrassed look on her face. "Hey Seaweed Brain, Im sorry about in there...I thought my idea was best and I guess that it just got in the way, your idea is good The Sea is a good way to travel." She chuckles and he smiles at her and she smiles back at him.
"Its ok Annabeth, we just want to get there as quick as we can and end this war." He sighs looking out to the ocean as they just landed on it after days of air travel. He turns to her and looks at Annabeth warmly. She blushes slightly and they both lean in for a kiss when Frank walks onto the deck and he starts to go red in the face.
"Uh-Uh um I...why do I always walk in at the wrong times! Um...Uh uh uh..." Frank is blushing furiously while Annabeth chuckles and turns to him.
"What do you need to say Frank?" She asks and he nods managing to stutter out a sentence his face losing some of the red tint and he motions to the meeting room.
"Leo wants to talk, he has called a meeting." Frank then turns and walks through the door heading to the meeting room while Percy sighs and kisses Annabeth on the cheek and taking her hand leading her to the room.
"Will we ever get a minute alone?" He asks with a grin and Annabeth chuckles.
"Percy we are demigods, what do you expect?" She says and they both walk into the room.
What? Was the though running through Percy's head right now. He looked around noticing confusion on the faces of the other Demigods in the room however Ciel and Sebastian looked like they already knew! He frowned and promised to question them about that later, anyway, he turned his attention back to Leo.
"So now we can't travel through the ocean? Why?" He asks standing up, Jason standing up as well, an annoyed look on his face. Leo nods and shrugs,
"Well me and Festus were looking at the map and it looked like a clear route straight to Greece but now there is a wall of land right in our path! I assume it's Gaia, trying to push us towards taking the land or mountain path." He fiddles with some screws that he is pulled from his tool belt. Percy sat down taking Annabeth's hand in fear of if he didn't he would punch something and he didn't feel like making a hole in the wall. Annabeth smiled at him and squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"It's fine we can just think of a new plan, Gaia hadn't stopped us this far and she won't stop us now! Not now that we are so close!" Annabeth called out to the others trying to lift the mood and Hazel caught on nodding and she stood up.
"Yeah! I agree with Annabeth, we must carry on, we must dodge every obstacle that Gaia forces in front of us!" She said and Frank and Piper nodded causing Jason to sit down and smile while Leo stood up and turned to Annabeth.
"Annabeth, could you help me? I think we should both work together to solve this. Ciel could you as well?" Leo said addressing the quiet boy in the corner and they all turned to Ciel and Sebastian. The boy turned to his Butler and they shared a silent conversation before nodding and stepping forward glancing at Percy slightly before Percy nodded. Ciel nodded back and the silent conversation went unnoticed by the others in the room.
"I will, but my father will be coming as well, if that's okay with you." Ciel stated and Leo pursed his lips before nodding.
"Sure sure, alright Sparky, Beauty Queen, you and Perce can go outside and check around for anywhere we can set flight, don't want to scare the mortals now do we?" Leo laughed and after a few minutes of telling everyone their jobs he clapped. "Now let's get to work!" Everyone nodded and set off to their jobs. Ciel sharing one last silent conversation with Percy before they left the room.
