"Jason." An entire hour for Thalia to end her self-imposed silence. She really was a bad loser. He couldn't imagine the heat Percy took for costing her the last match.

"Hey, Sis."

"I wanted to say I'm sorry about the arrow. I didn't mean to actually hit you but I get a little crazy when I have people counting on me."

"It's alright. I know the feeling."

"It's not too bad, is it?" she gently turned his arm to examine the bandaging that currently had blood soaking through the layers.

It was obvious she felt really bad about it. He wondered if Bianca had checked on Nico after their teams played eachother. "I'll live. Although I can't say it'll improve my archery grades."

"You can't shoot?" she asked like it should have been as simple as riding a bike.

"You can't fly." Jason pointed out.

"Fair enough. Maybe next time I'm around I can give you a few lessons."

"Is that even allowed for your kind?"

"Hey it's not like I'm turned into a different species. I'm still me. Besides Artemis has a brother too."

"That she can't stand."

"Only because he hits on the other Hunters. Calling them doll and sweetheart."

"Isn't he our half-brother?"

"Don't remind me."

"Do you talk about me that way?"

"Of course not. You're more respectful. Right?" The way she said it made Jason feel like a kid who came home late after detention. He avoided her gaze and nodded catching sight of Nico standing in the background with a finger to his lips. "That's good because otherwise I'd have to let Raquel straighten you out."

"Who is Raquel?"

"Our newest member. She's the one with no sleeves and the ripped muscles."

Jason looked where she was pointing. Standing on the other side of the volleyball court firing off arrows at a target a mile away was a tall and very muscular girl with close cropped hair. He watched her shoot the arrow dead center and then fire three arrows at once all in the red.

"She's getting better with the bow but what she really likes is extreme wrestling. Her Father was a body builder."

"That's definitely incentive to be good."

"Relax little brother. If you need straightening out. I'll handle it personally."
