Me: This one is kinda sad, and goes along the lines of a story I'm planning to write.

Nico: Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

Thalia: Because it's her.

Percy: That's true Pinecone Face.

Thalia: Kelp-for-Brains.

Percy: Air Head.

Thalia: Kelp Head.

Nico: STOP THEM! THEY CAN GO ON FOR FOREVER!

Me: The longer you do this the longer you're stuck here.

Thalia: Fine, I just want to leave!

Percy: Got that right Pinecone Face.

Nico: *groans* Don't start that up again.

Me: Thalia, do the disclaimer.

Thalia: Fine, candyland7 owns nothing but her OC's… it isn't even worth arguing about anymore.

Me: Remember, this is based off of a story I'm planning to do. So it might not make sense at first. The overview is that Nico pretty much isn't talking because he saw a girl that looked like Bianca getting tortured in front of him... yeah kinda sad.

3rd Person POV

Percy, Thalia, and Nico were in the kitchen trying to make something for breakfast. Sally and Paul were supposed to come back from Montauk today. They were all still in their PJ's and were hoping that nothing bad happened, but of course something just had to go wrong.

"Percy! Help!"

"Thalia?" Percy asked turning to the paling daughter of Zeus.

"Percy, that wasn't me…" Thalia said.

"Nico?"

Nico grabbed Percy's arm tighter and shook his head. Turning around, Percy pushed Nico behind him. There was a grinning Cyclops there.

"Poor Percy, trying to protect everyone," The Cyclops jeered.

The Cyclops' mouth opened and heated up. A column of white flames shot out of his mouth and Percy dove through it. Nico and Thalia ended up on the other side of the fire, towards the door. The fire alarms were going off and he heard people shouting and running through the building. Thalia was holding onto Nico's arms and asking Percy a silent question.

"Go!" Percy shouted, "Get out of here, and take Nico!"

"NO!" Nico shouted.

Thalia grabbed Nico from running towards the flames. Percy rolled out of the way from another wave of white flames. He gave Thalia a pleading look and, with tears in her eyes, Thalia pulled a struggling Nico out of the burning apartment. Percy watched them before getting jarred back to reality when the Cyclops sent a blast of flame at him.

He didn't move fast enough. The flames caught him, and even though he was fire resistant, the flames were so hot that he got burnt.

"Hey Big Ugly!" Percy called wincing in pain from the burns, "Come and get it."

"Perseus Jackson, baiting me won't work," the Cyclops said.

"But it will distract you."

"What?"

While the Cyclops was distracted; Percy charged through the flames and stabbed the Cyclops in the stomach, twisted, and watched as it burst into dust. He breathed in the dark smoky air and coughed. Percy hadn't realized that the entire apartment was on fire. Everywhere he looked there was smoke and flames. The burning ceiling creaked and fell down. He rolled out of the way, but he had breathed in so much smoke Percy fell to the floor unconscious.

*After Thalia pulled Nico out of the Room*

They mixed in with the pajama wearing mortals. Nico had stopped struggling, but was holding Thalia's arm so tightly it hurt. She had to lead him through; hopefully not getting knocked over in the process. They got outside and turned around to see flames eating it up. Hearing their names, Thalia and Nico turned around. Sally and Paul were pushing their way through the crowd to them.

"What happened, where's Percy?" Sally asked in a frenzy.

Nico buried his face in Thalia's arm; she dimly registered the wetness seeping through her pajama sleeves. Thalia numbly pointed towards the burning building. Sally paled and Thalia picked up Nico… she didn't feel like bending down to comfort him.

Sirens wailed in the distance, slowly coming closer. They all turned and watched as a bright red fire truck pulled up. Immediately a bunch of firemen jumped out and started to put out the fire.

"Go inside, see if anyone is stuck," the Chief Fireman ordered.

That reminded Thalia of Percy, she looked around hoping to see her cousins smirking face. She walked up to the fireman and tapped his shoulder. The man turned around and she was facing a chiseled face and dark blue eyes. He looked so serious that Thalia was startled at first.

"Excuse me sir, but my brother was in the building and I didn't see him leave our apartment. I don't see him out here either," Thalia said.

"Can you describe your brother, I'll have my men look for him in there," The firemen answered creasing his brown brow.

"He's around six-one, has messy black hair, and sea-green eyes. He's seventeen." (A/N after the Giant War)

The fireman said something into his walkie talkie thingy and told Thalia to stay. Nico had stopped crying and was now gripping Thalia's arm and watching as the fireman kept getting calls. Sally and Paul had walked over to stand by them. The fire chief was talking in his walkie talkie and continued to order the men. Eventually he came over.

"We found him; he's coming out now," the Fire Chief said frowning, "Has a lot of burns and inhaled a lot of smoke."

Thalia breathed a sigh of relief and Sally smiled gripping Paul's hand. The Fire Chief wasn't done though.

"There's a high chance he'll have terrible asthma now from how much smoke he inhaled, the roof barely missed his leg when it caved in. Seems as though some powerful being was on his side," the Fire Chief winked at them before walking off.

Thalia ran off to the white ambulance, pulling Nico behind her, and stopped when she saw Percy covered with angry red burns and bleeding scratches. He was hooked up to oxygen with a sandy haired male doctor standing above him. Thalia immediately let go of Nico's hand and ran forward.

"You idiot," She muttered.

"Excuse me?" the doctor asked.

"Not you, him… Apollo?" Thalia asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Shh, I'm undercover. Call me Fred," Apollo smirked, "And I know all and see all, decided to repay my debt from him saving Arty."

"Fred?"

Nico came up and stared at the lifeless Percy. Thalia pulled Nico close and watched as Percy was loaded into the ambulance, red lights flashing. Apollo clambered in with Sally not far behind. Paul took them to the blue Prius and they climbed in. Thalia kept a hand on Nico the whole time.

*Time Skip!*

Thalia and Nico were sitting on white chairs in Percy's hospital room. He was awake and was waiting to get discharged from the hospital. Nico was drifting off and Thalia was trying to keep him awake, knowing that she would have to carry him to the car. Thalia kept complaining about how there was too much white in the hospital room and it was hurting her eyes.

"Shut up Pinecone Face, some people do like white," Percy replied, "Now shush, Nico's falling asleep."

"I don't want him to," Thalia complained, "You're still healing from all the burns so that means I'll have to carry Nico to the car."

"Such compassion," Percy said sarcastically, "You care so much."

"I know right!"

Sally walked in frowning. She smiled at the argument and Thalia sighed, realizing that Nico had fallen asleep. Thalia picked up Nico and walked outside. Percy followed them laughing silently. She nudged him, causing Percy to gasp in pain and Nico to stir slightly. He drifted off again, Thalia sighed. She wished he had woken up, Nico might be light for his size, but he was still heavy.

"He's heavy," Thalia complained.

"Hey, don't complain. I've had to carry him more times then I can count," Percy replied.

They climbed inside and set Nico in the back. Thalia put a blanket over him then climbed inside the car. Driving off, Percy and Thalia kept talking to each other in Ancient Greek. At least until Percy decided to switch to Latin, confusing the daughter of Zeus entirely.

"Percy?" Nico asked sitting up.

"Hey Nicky, you okay?" Percy asked turning around.

Nico nodded and Percy reached over and ruffled Nico's dark black hair before he turned around and waited to get home.

Me: MAWAHAHA! Percy got injured!

Percy: Why do you enjoy injuring people?

Me: *frowns* Why do you assume I like injuring people?

Nico: Because you end up injuring us a lot?

Percy: Or torturing us?

Thalia: Or killing us?

Me: I don't enjoy it… it just makes the story more interesting.

Thalia: And a story needs to be interesting?

Me: Yes!

Nico: I wouldn't read a story that isn't interesting.

Percy: You don't read period.

Nico: I read Ancient Greek.

Me: Don't care… well I kinda do but still. Thalia ask for reviews.

Thalia: Great… please review, maybe I'll be able to leave.
