Perseus had spent the last half hour explaining to Nico what had happened who he was what his job was what Bianca had done and a large amount of mythology. He had also explained how some of the more mystic weapons worked demonstrating with his own switching from scythe to spear to sword then back to pen answering questions about Hades and pretty much everything else that Nico wanted to know.
However now a hunter came into camp warning about his they would leave soon. Percy helped Nico get ready and now they where waiting for the sun along with everyone else for the sun to come.
As Apollo landed Artemis screamed out "Close your eyes lest you wish to go blind". and so being sane he did when he opened them he saw a teenage surfer dude blonde hair blue eyes white singlet and board shorts guy looked like he was going to the beach.
He heard Thalia whisper "Apollo is hot". of course Theo replied "he is the sun god". gods damned idiot. "Hay lil'sis how you doing need me to help teach you girls arche oof". Apollo didn't get to finish as Artemis elbowed him in the gut before demanding "you will take my hunters to camp and you know the rules don't help them don't touch don't flirt with them don't even look at them or I will hurt you badly".
Apollo nodded a couple times "alright alright I get it now everyone on the bus single file no pushing no shoving". he seemed rather down after his sisters small rant or maybe his ribs hurt Percy couldn't tell or more accurately couldn't be bothered to tell. As he stepped onto the car he quit purposefully sat on the outside of Nico's seat to keep Bianca away the boy would only grow angrier if she tried for a half thought out and poorly done apology.
As Apollo walked into the bus he said "ok now who wants to drive". Theo and Grover put there hands up as well as Nico though his was swiftly pulled down by Percy Apollo however disregarded all of these and instead went for the second most unwilling Thalia "hay daughter of Zeus right bet up here you should be a natural heard what happened to you damn shame that hate it when pretty girls get turned into trees". Perseus was definite that no one was meant to hear that. But it succeeded in making Thalia blush and getting her to the front of the bus in the drivers seat.
"Good now put your foot gently on gas to go up". under Apollo's gentle guidance she got a foot off the ground than two than three than four five ten until she reached thirty than Apollo said "stop now hit the other one to go forward good good slowly move the wheel till the light turns green that'll mean where on the right course which will take us just over camp half-blood now you keep doing what you're doing I'll go check on the others don't worry it'll be fine". despite Apollo's comforting words Thalia got more and more panicked as he walked away her hands starting to shake until the sun rocked ever so slightly the rocking growing bigger and more noticeable by the second.
However when Apollo did notice it he quickly rushed back to the front "alright you did great but you also seem to be having a bit of a freak out so why don't you let me take the wheel now". Thalia gave a shacky nod and slipped out of the seat as fast as possible and sitting down again as quickly as she could on the same seat Perseus. Who slid down a bit and pushed Nico a bit allowing the girl to have her major freak out.
After that the trip to camp was relatively calm no explosions barrel roles or anything they parked a ways outside of the border so as to not blind the whole camp and everyone got out calmly except for Thalia who got out very fast and frantically.
As everyone got out Perseus was silently steeling himself to be in close proximity to other people for more than a couple hours. When he got off of the bus he was greeted by a centaur and various demigods who where keeping well away from the hunters.
"Theo'Thalia your back uhh wheres Annabeth".both of the demigods looked at the ground giving the Chiron more than enough of an answer "oh I-I see lets talk of this later for now let's get all the new additions settled and is that lord Apollo I see"."yes it is you old horse". Apollo swaggered up with his usual smile "but I won't be talking to you instead I will check up on the infirmary got to make sure you have all of your supplies and if I happen to run into my children while doing so eh what yah gonna do". Chiron gave him a smile or as close as he could manage "good good now I imagine the hunters can get themselves settled as for the new demigods I suppose I must explain things some more to them".
At this Perseus stepped forward "only for one actually Nico, Bianca has joined the hunt and I am already familiar with mythological world have been for several years if you want proof then hear". Percy had pulled out Hades badge as he spoke and placed it helm down in Chiron's palm who's face paled drastically "you work for Hades I suppose I could make some accommodation for you in the Hermes ca"."that will not be necessary but thank I will find a place to rest somewhere in the forest". Chiron frowned "there are many monsters out there are you sure you can handle it ". Percy's only response was raising his eyebrow which Chiron thankfully saw " ohh yes you serve Hades I doubt you would be alive if you couldn't handle a few monsters".
A certain sea spawn decided to but in at this point "oh he can more than handle them guys like the flash seriously how do you move that fast"." you'd be surprised what someone can do when they only train or fight for seven years"."seven years but you only look like your about fourteen"."I am fourteen and three months what of it". Theo's eyes widened at the blank response "ok I am just gonna go". Theo jogged away but could feel Perseus's dead eyes on his back and was honestly afraid those eyes felt like they could see his deepest darkest secrets which Theo wanted kept very well away from him.
Turning his head back to Chiron Percy said "alright now give me back the coin and I will look around your camp it seems...interesting to say the least". as Percy paused his eyes lingered on the lava wall very interesting.
