They where running for there life well Perseus more limping a bullet to the leg will do that to you. He had taken out at least a dozen of the monsters before being shot which was when Grover dragged him out of the fight despite Percy clawing at him in an attempt to get back to his fight.
And when Bianca pointed out a subway none of them where going to argue "This is weird I don't remember a subway here". Now that raised some eyebrows "Like no subway at all". What Theseus said pretty much summed up everyones thoughts "No none". Percy stepped forward to speak now "Bianca who is the President". She frowned at the obvious question "George Bush"."And the one before that"."Um Roosevelt yah Franklin Roosevelt"."Bianca"."Ye-yes"? She said scared by Percy's shocked voice "That was over seventy years ago". "Wh-what no thats not possible"! Anger and shock lacing her voice "This isn't the time to wonder upon such things we must hurry west".
Zoe's interruption caused everyone (except Grover) to glare at her but it also gained the attention of a passing hobo with suspiciously white teeth "Did yah just say you gotta head west"."Yes why". Theo's voice full of understandable apprehension "Because that train agrees wit'ya and es leavin now so go quick like". As they jumped on the train Grover turned back to the homeless man "Thank...you". Looking around behind them the man was completely without a trace shrugging his shoulders Grover just got on the bus with the rest of the quest.
Inside the train was to put it simply amazing to put it not so simply full of fancy expensive comfortable cars emphasis on comfortable . While the others chose the most fancy and over the top cars Percy chose one with enough room to bandage up his leg. He pulled out a small bottle and held it over his leg "Hay whats that". He shot a glare at Thalia for interrupting him "Alcohol"."What like beer". This time he fixed his glare on Bianca "No pure alcohol for medical purposes I'm going to pour it over the bullet hole so I don't end up with an infection"."But why not just use some ambrosia". Now Theseus it seemed that he would have glared at every quest member before he actually managed to do this "Because I have four pieces of ambrosia I'd prefer to keep them for serious wounds"."Thats not serious to you there's a bullet hole strait through your leg". Now Grover piped up "No its not serious when an axe is buried in my chest than its serious so if you excuse me"."foolish male you'll get yourself killed thinking like that".
Rolling his eyes Percy just went ahead and did it pouring about a quarter of the bottles contents over his leg he clenched his teeth nearly biting his tongue off. Letting out a sigh of relief as the pain faded Percy reached into one of his many pockets and pulled out a bandage wrapping it around and around before slicing it off from the main roll with his sword and lied back allowing himself to sleep.
In his dream he was where he always ended up in that one life shattering moment from nine years ago his mother being raped the world frozen his younger self crying in the corner a bolt of lightning falling down time frozen with it mere inches above his mothers head. Gabriel hideous face transforming from sadistic glee to terror.
Perseus could never figure out why he always came back here there was some secret hidden here what it was he had no clue. He always tried to figure it out but came up dry. The land was shifting fading away until he was in absolute darkness. He looked behind him two gold eyes where just floating in the inky blackness the ghost like being leaned forward to look at him closely and he could see armour made of steel and gold designed for speed but there was no body inside it "Hmmmm no the prophecy requires a claimed child of the so called big three and you though one of there spawn will never be claimed so you are useless to me, leave". It waved one of its gauntleted nothings and turned away from him.
When he opened his eyes he was drenched in sweat. Shaking his head he looked down at his injured leg "Time to change the bandages". He murmured under his breath slowly removing the old ones he cleaned the wound this time with some clean cotton cloth then calmly reapplied new bandages on his leg. He exited the car and looked around Theo was at the door to the train cart his legs hanging outside walking up to him Percy said "Hey bad dreams to"."One hay is for horses two yah pretty much". A slight chickle escaped Percy's lips "Well look at you not entirely a killing machine, so what was yours about"."It started off normal or usual I suppose and then it changed I was in absolute darkness a colossal ghost with gold eyes and not just the iris the whole thing came it spoke to me or more spoke about said I was useless to it and then just waved one of its arms I woke up soon after". Theseus thought for a moment.
"Well mine was somewhat less terrifying I saw Artemis struggling under the sky and when the General showed up she looked afraid he scares a goddess what are we supposed to do against someone who scares a freaking Olympian goddess". As Theseus paused Percy felt a tingling run down his neck as though someone was just behind them he turned pivoting on his left foot and unsheathing his weapon this time in spear form slamming the blunt end into their so called attacker and would have broken his jaw had they been a mortal "Apollo". The shocked gasp from Theo summed up there situation well enough and although Percy was no longer threatening him he hadn't put away his weapon.
"I came to tell Theo here not to fear his dreams but you Perseus have gotten that message across far better than I could so instead I will say this when you meet my sister again don't judge her to harshly". While Theseus nodded Percy said "I am afraid I can not do that lord you see having talked to many spirits from the time you first came up to Olympus I know you are far more powerful than her I also know you started to become weaker when she became the man hating goddess and that soon after you developed your domain of plagues most likely because as you partially ignored your domain of medicine disease grew rampant considering all this I can only come to the conclusion that you have been weakening yourself over the millenia so she can feel like women are better thus I will judge her quite harshly but you can be assured that I will try my best to save her". Apollo let out a long sad sigh "I hoped no one would figure that out but well thank you for helping her and don't tell her". With that Apollo flashed out.
