AN: Yeah, I'm not sure what made me think of this... But this is pretty much Jason, Gwen, Dakota, and Bobby stopping at Jasons' moms house for supplies during a quest.
Quests, Kool-Aid, and Motherly Hate
Jason frowned, looking over his friends injuries. They all were pretty beaten. Bruises covered them head to toe. It looked like Gwen had a broken ankle. Bobby had a nasty cut on his arm, and Dakota was out of Kool-Aid.
"We need medical help," he decided.
"And Kool-Aid," Dakota added. Jason nodded.
"That too," he agreed. "Does anyone have family around here?" he asked, not even knowing what state they were in. Gwen shook her head sadly.
"Um, I don't know, what state are we in?" Bobby asked.
"California. Hollywood to be exact." Gwen told them. Dakota fist-pumped.
"Sweet! I've always wanted to go to Hollywood!" Seeing Jason's look he added, "Um, I mean, no, no family here." Bobby shook his head sadly.
"Me either. Do you think I could get any autographs?" Jason sighed.
"In that case, follow me."
"Where are we going?" Dakota asked, helping Gwen to her feet.
"You'll see."
It took an hour for them to get there. They arrived at a large house, one that you would expect a movie star to own.
"Where are we?" Gwen asked, leaning against Dakota for support. Jason didn't answer. Instead, he banged on the door.
"Who is it?" A woman screeched. Jason rolled his eyes.
"Your son!" he yelled back, not looking at his friends. Gwen, Bobby and Dakota stared at him. Footsteps sounded from inside.
"We're at y-"
"Mom's house? Yeah." A skinny women opened the door. She was in a bathrobe, and obviously hadn't been expecting anyone. She looked pretty much the same as Jason remembered. The same angry blue eyes, drunken stance. The only thing that was different was that she had died her hair brown.
"You're alive." she said blankly.
"Yes, where's-"
"She left. Years ago." Jason groaned.
"Where-"
"I don't know." Jason narrowed his eyes at her.
"You have to know something." Jason's mother sighed.
"Get in. I'll explain." The group obeyed and filed into the large house.
"Um, Miss Grace, can I have some Kool-Aid?" Dakota asked.
"Get it yourself. Kitchen's over there. Don't touch my wine!" Jason plopped down on the couch, Bobby and Gwen on either side of him. He looked at his mother expectantly.
"After Juno took you, she was upset. She looked everywhere for you. I had to drag her away, practically, ruined my shoes," she complained. Jason just glared at his mother, wanting to hear more. "She called me names, went on about how horrible a mother I am."
"You are a horrible mother," Jason informed her.
"Don't speak to me in that tone, boy!" she hissed. Jason opened his mouth to respond, but Gwen covered it.
"She called the cops on me even." Miss Grace continued.
"She should've! You gave your three-year onld son to a goddess who you knew hated children of Jupiter!"
"Whatever. She still betrayed me."
"Y-"
"Jason." Gwen interuppted. "Let her finish. I'm sorry, what were you saying, Miss Grace?"
"Anyways, after that, she ran away. Cops saw her occasionlly, took pictures, videos. They stopped seeing her completely about five years ago." Jason frowned. That's when he had the dream.
"Um, I'm confused. Who are we talking about?" Bobby said, frowning. Before anyone could answer Dakota ran into the room.
"I couldn't find any Kool-Aid, but I did find this!" he said, holding up a bottle of wine.
"Give me that!" Miss Grace hissed, taking the bottle from him.
"Jason," Gwen began after Dakota sat down. "Who are we talking about?"
"My sister," he said slowly.
"You have a sister?" Bobby asked. "What's she look like? Is she hot?" Jason zapped Bobby. "Ow."
"Dude! She's my sister! And, yes, I have a sister."
"Feel free to search her room. I didn't touch anything." Miss Grace told them.
"C'mon," Jason said, leading his friends up the stairs.
"Your sister has pretty good taste." Gwen told him, looking at the Green Day posters. Bobby grinned and whispered to Dakota.
"Who knew children of Venus liked Green Day?" Gwen smacked his arm.
"Found some ambrosia and nectar," Jason told them, tossing Gwen the ambrosia and Bobby the nectar. Dakota pouted.
"What, I don't get any?" Jason rolled his eyes at the son of Bacchus.
"Dakota, you're not hurt." Dakota just continued to pout and plopped down on the bed next to Gwen.
"Why didn't you tell us you had a sister?" Gwen asked. Jason shrugged.
"I didn't really know what happened to her after Juno took me. I think-" Jason paused, obviously troubled. "I think she's a tree." Dakota and Gwen looked at him weirdly. Bobby burst out laughing.
"That's a good one."
"Bobby, I think he's serious." Gwen said, smacking him again.
"Would you stop slapping me!"
"Would you stop saying stupid things!" Jason sighed.
"I'm not kidding. When I was six I had this dream, and she and some others were running from a pack of hellhounds, and all three Furies. She was dying, and she turned into a tree.
"I'm guessing you weren't so lucky as for it to just be a nightmare?" Dakota asked, looking at her friend sadly. Jason frowned.
"I think it was real. My mom did say people stopped seeing her about five years ago. That's when I had that dream."
"I have an idea." Gwen said, standing up. "What were the names of the people Thalia was with?"
"Um, there was a girl about our age named Annabeth, a guy about Thalia's age named Luke, and a faun named Grover." Gwen nodded, limping to the door.
"Miss Grace?" she called.
"Stop yelling!" Miss Grace screamed, coming up the stairs.
"Hypocrite," Bobby muttered. Dakota nodded in agreement.
"What?"
"Had anyone been traveling with Thalia?" Gwen asked. Miss Grace nodded.
"There was a boy named Luke, who had run away. And a few times before they all dissapeared they were seen with a little girl named Annabeth. She had ran away one night. Stole her dad's hammer. Once, they were all spotted with a boy, too, but he's unidentified. That was the last time any of them were seen." Jason groaned.
"Now, let me get my beauty sleep!" Miss Grace hissed, marching down the hall, and slamming the door.
"I'm sorry," Gwen said, looking at her friend sadly. Jason frowned.
"S'okay. Who knows? Mabye she'll come out of the tree or something. Now let's get out of here." Everyone agreed, and went of to finish their quest.
