Angel pov
Iggy landed with the girl. No one had introduced her yet. They'd been too preoccupied with the non-flock and Fang's... episode. It was really weird. Fang never faints.
"Guys, Twitch has been through a lot the past eight years. She's going to try to explain, but she can't talk, so Angel, you may have to be her mouthpiece. She's ready to explain if we'll listen and if we'll tell her what's happened to us. Can we all agree to be patient and kind and listen?" Iggy said. Gazzy jerked his head up from whatever device he was building.
"Is Iggy being non-sarcastic?"
"I think he is," Max said, impressed.
"Guys I'm serious."
"Sorry. You're just normally sarcastic, so we have to fill the void when you're not. Carry on," Nudge said.
Iggy glared at her then walked over to the couch, Twitch on his heels. "Twitch, go ahead. Angel can read your thoughts and tell us what you want us to know."
I listened and repeated what she said. "She says that when she was eight, the whitecoats took her from-"
"Leo!" I was cut off by an explosion, then an angry shout.
"Be right back," I stepped into the other room. "What's going on?"
"Leo just exploded my favorite jacket!" Thalia said.
"Your fault for putting it on my bomb. I warned you about it's hair trigger activation response," Leo shrugged.
"Never hang out with Gazzy. Ever," I said to him and then returned to the flock. "Gaz, you're not allowed to hang out with Leo. Anyway. Twitch says that when she was eight, the whitecoats moved her to a different part of the School. Not much changed except for that. A year later, Iggy was there for about a week after they did his eyes. A year after that, they did hers."
"Twitch!" Nudge exclaimed.
"She was there for another two years until a woman brought her somewhere else, claiming to be her mom. She was at her mom's place for about a year before she ran away and met her dad. Stuff happened. People tried to kill her. The world ended last week. Here we are."
"People tried to kill you?" Fang exploded.
"Fang relaxed. People really did kill you," Max reminded him. This got a strange look from Twitch. Max explained our lives the past two years. Twitch shrugged.
What can you do?
"Leo! Really? Again?"
"Oh leave him be."
"You're not innocent either on this one, Jackson."
"What?"
"You know what."
"Hey!" Max shouted. "Quit fighting. All of you. Now that flock matters have been handled, all of you in the living room. Now." The non-flock filed into the living room and stood around the edge.
"Angel, do your thing," Fang said. I nodded and reached out with my mind. None of them seemed to have any bad thoughts. All I could feel was pain. I mentally informed Fang and Max.
"Thanks," Max said and then turned to the non-flock. "Names."
"I'm Annabeth," a blonde girl said. "This is Percy, Leo, Piper, Jason, frank, Hazel, Nico, Bianca, Reyna, and Thalia."
"How did you all meet?"
"Long story short, I met Percy, Nico, Bianca, Leo, Piper, And Jason as summer camp. Thalia and I met after we ran away. Jason is her brother. Hazel is Nico and Bianca's sister. Reyna, Jason, Hazel, and Frank went to a different story. I could go into more detail, but it'd take forever and end up confusing everyone."
"Who's in charge?"
"Uh... we all make decisions together."
"In general, who's in charge?"
"Everyone except Bianca and Hazel?"
"Of your group."
"Uh... I guess it'd be me, Percy, Jason, and Thalia, but like I said, we all make decisions together. None of us is specifically in charge as a designated leader."
"Fine. How did you survive doomsday?"
"Uh... we caused it."
"What?"
"We sort of made our parents mortal enemy mad."
"Naturally. Why is the blonde chick the only one talking?" Fang asked.
"Uh, first off, she's my girlfriend. Second, her name is Annabeth, third, because any of the rest of us would manage to say the wrong thing, and fourth, she's my girlfriend."
"Ignore him. I'm taking because my mom is the wisest of all our parents, and I inherited that from her."
"No ego there," Gazzy muttered.
Angel, tell Max to go easy on them.
Why? I asked Twitch.
They're my family.
We're your family.
They're my other family. My biological family, whether I've ever met them or not.
Fine. I turn my mind from Twitch to Max. Twitch says go easy on them. They're her family.
"What?"
Just do it.
"Uh... do any of you know Twitch?"
"Not before today."
"Angel."
How are they related to you? I asked Twitch.
The stupid one's my brother.
Fang's your brother.
Yeah, well, so is Percy.
I relayed the information to Max. She raised her eyebrows. I nodded. She shrugged. "Percy, you sure you don't know Twitch?"
"Positive," the boy said.
"How positive?"
"A hundred percent."
"Really? Because she says you're her brother."
"That's entirely possible. Through Dad, not Mom."
"So either your dad was a cheater, an idiot, or you were illegitimate."
"Is a and b and option?"
"Sure. Uh... Twitch? Care to finish explaining?"
"She says her dad is Poseidon, same as Percy's."
"I have a sister. That's cool."
"A daughter of Poseidon. That's unexpected," Annabeth said.
"I get my sister back, and then I get a new cousin. In my opinion, this is incredible," Nico said.
Then everyone started talking at once. Naturally, not even Max could get them to quiet down. I looked at Twitch.
Stab me. She thought. I was appalled, and apparently it showed. Do it. I can't talk, but if I'm hurt or scared, I can still scream. I think that's the only way to get everyone to shut up. Grab an arrow from Thalia and stab my arm. I promise I'll be okay.
Fine. I grabbed an arrow from the quiver on Thalia's back and walked over to Twitch. I slammed it into her shoulder, definitely hitting bone. She screamed and pulled it out.
Tell Percy to heal me. He'll know what that means.
"Percy heal her."
"How? I'm not a healer! I can barely handle myself getting hurt! And all I have to do is douse myself in water because Dad's!- oh," he flicked his wrist and a spray of water hit the stab wound. Not even five seconds later, there was no trace of the stab.
"Well that's cool," Max said.
"Someone wanna fill me in?" Iggy asked.
"Angel stabbed Twitch and Percy healed her with a magic geyser," Gazzy said nonchalantly.
"You stabbed her?!"
"She told me to," I shrugged. Iggy groaned in exasperation.
"Now what?" Leo asked.
"Now you die, my dear great great grandson," a voice cackled from all around us.
"You know Gaea, you really send mixed signals," Leo literally burst into flames.
