Chapter 9: Sea
"Sorry Annabeth. As much as we'd like to join you all on the Argo, we have problems here," the blonde woman with a British accent says.
"Is it the Demi-human Suppression Regime?" Annabeth asks quietly. She glances at her sleeping husband. Annabeth looks back at the three computers in front of her. One was running a program to search for Roman Emperor's masks, the other was video chatting with Sadie, and the last was attempting to connect to Magnus.
"No, it's-" Sadie starts to say before she is interrupted by a whispering voice. "I was going to tell her Carter." More whispers come from the other side of the screen.
"Are you busy?" Annabeth asks raising an eyebrow. Sadie gets up and all that's on the screen is a bookshelf filled with tomes and various artifacts that Mages use to channel their natural power. Zia and Walt walk into frame and take a seat in front of the computer.
"Hey Annabeth," Zia says awkwardly. Annabeth hears a crashing sound, followed by bird screeches and something shattering. Walt winces as a cat yelps.
"What is happening?" Annabeth asks, very confused. Zia sighs.
"You know how those two are. They will be fine in like five minutes."
"So what was she trying to tell me?"
"Apophis is back."
"I thought you guys banished him to a shadow realm or something."
"We thought so too," Walt says fiddling with a camel charm.
"We wish we could help, but we don't know when-" An explosion cuts Zia off.
"All hands on deck. His demons are here," Annabeth hears Carter say, apparently done fighting with Sadie. Zia and Walt rush off and in a scramble, their laptop is knocked off of their table.
"We'll talk later Annabeth," she hears Sadie say off camera. A penguin walks into frame, looks at the laptop and pecks it until it turns off.
"Bad timing?" she hears from the other computer. She looks over and sees her cousin Magnus looking at her. He was standing in front of a white background.
"Decent timing," she says. "The House of Life can't meet up with us, but I was hoping you could," she says hopefully. He sighs.
"I wish we could. Loki is pissed off with the world, again, and he's trying to summon Ragnarok, again. I seriously wish he was more original."
"Is that all he knows how to do?" she asks him smiling.
"Eh, who knows." She laughs a bit too loud, and she hears Percy shift in the bed. He sits up and looks at his phone with squinting eyes. He looks up and Annabeth and yawns. She mouths sorry, and turns back to Magnus. "What was that?" he asks.
"I accidentally woke Percy up," Annabeth says glancing at her husband. He stands up and opens one of their cabinet. "You can go back to sleep," she says to Percy. He shrugs and pulls out two mugs.
"If you can't sleep, I'll stay up with you," he says kissing her on the cheek before going to their small coffee maker.
"What time is it there?" Magnus asks, looking at his watch. Annabeth looks at her watch.
"Almost 3 AM."
"Why are you up?"
"I had a lot on my mind," she says. She feels her power activate subconsciously. Hundreds of lines of information cover her eyes, all of the information that she had gathered over the past week about the Demi-human Suppression Regime.
"Maybe you should try knitting. I hear it's good at taking your mind off of things." Percy comes over and sets a mug on the desk next to her and sits in the other chair. "Hey Percy."
"Hey Mag." Magnus sits there as a sword goes flying past his head. "What was that?" Percy asks.
"Oh that was Jack."
"Your sword right?"
"Yup." Percy and Annabeth look at each other.
"Are you in a fight right now?"
"Technically yes. I'm having Jack fight while I stay behind a car." A loud growl erupts and he turns around."
"You should probably stop talking to us," Annabeth says slowly.
"Probably should. Talk to you later," he says before he turns off the video. Annabeth shakes her head at her cousin's ridiculousness. Percy takes a sip of his coffee and looks at his wife.
"What?" She asks laughing.
"Just thinking how lucky I am," he says with a smirk.
"Your wife waking you up at three in the morning is lucky?" she asks turning back to the computers. On the now free screens, she starts cross-referencing people who have bought a roman emperor's mask and who has joined the DSR facebook page.
"Eh, what is sleep for anyways? What are you up to?" he asks peering over her shoulder.
"I am researching things," she says pulling up the criminal database and cross-referencing it between the other two.
"You know you look very sexy while you are researching," he says wrapping his arms around her. She feels him kiss her neck.
"No, we can't. Unless you want another kid." she says hitting him on the head. He groans and puts his head on her shoulder.
"So you mean?"
"If we do it now, there is an increased chance. Do you really want to risk it?" she asks, raising her eyebrow at him.
"Let's not. They would outnumber us at that point," he says sitting down. She kisses him before turning back to the computer. "What are you looking up?"
"Who is behind the DSR mask?" she says activating her power. All the names on the screens start to imbed themselves into her mind, adding to the names that were already in there. She presses her fingers to her temples as she gets a small headache.
"Too much stuff in there?" Percy asks. She glares at him. One of the computers chimes and she looks at it. Thalia had sent her a message, telling her where to anchor the Argos. "Is that Thalia?" he says leaning over.
"She is just letting us know where to dock the Argos and the path that we need to take to get to their base." Percy is silent, something that he usually isn't.
"Have you heard from Cal?" he asks leaning forward. Annabeth's fingers stop moving. She looks at him and sees that he has a guilty look. She turns back to the computer to finish her reply.
"No, I haven't," she says quietly. "Do you feel guilty for telling Leo?" He sighs.
"A bit. I mean that he deserves to know, but I feel bad for telling him when there is so much going on."
"You want me to talk to him?" she asks turning in her chair. Percy nods. She stands up and grabs her untouched coffee mug.
"I'll work on your research project while you do that," he says taking her seat. She pats his shoulder before heading toward the door. She turns before she fully leaves the room.
"Percy," she calls out. He turns to look at her. "You look sexy researching," she giggles out as she leaves. As soon as she closes the door, she hears a door down the hall open. She looks and sees Piper sneaking out of Jason's room. Her hair was out of it's usual braid and much messier than normal. Her shirt was inside out and she was holding her jacket, her boots, and her bra in one hand. Piper and Annabeth lock eyes. Piper's eyes dart between Jason's door and Annabeth.
"You didn't see this," she says walking towards her room. Annabeth looks at her coffee and offers it. Piper grabs it with her free hand and says, "I didn't take this either."
"Leave it by my door," she says as Piper enters her room. Annabeth shakes her head and heads deeper into the ship. As she passes the medbay, she sees Rachel was awake, as well as her daughter.
"Sally, what are you doing up?" she asks crossing her arms. Sally looks over to her and runs over.
"I'm going to help Mr. Leo, but I saw she was awake. She's going to draw me when I grow up!" she says excited. Annabeth makes a confused look and walks over to Rachel.
"Hey Annabeth, I'm almost done," she says. Rachel had changed out of her hospital gown, much to Will's displeasure, and was wearing a "green" t-shirt and jeans. Her shirt wasn't exactly green as it was plastered with hundreds of paint splats, making it barely a green shirt. She has a black eye patch covering her left eye, and her right eye was glowing green with Delphi's power. She was using colored pencils to draw a figure in her sketchbook. Annabeth looks at the drawing and sees that the drawing looked a lot like Annabeth when she was sixteen. The main difference was the green eyes and the braided hair, something that Annabeth never did. In the drawing, she was wearing a small, blue sailor's hat, a gray earpiece, a light blue button up shirt that is tucked in, a dark blue tie, black pants, and black boots. On the button up shirt was a small tag that said Pvt Jackson. She had a bronze dagger on her waist, a small handgun holster on her right thigh, a sword on her back, and a shield on her left forearm. It looks like she was doing some sort of flip with her handgun in her right hand, ready to shoot someone. She had a smirk on her face, the same one that Percy has, and was winking with her left eye.
"Is that?" Annabeth asks in disbelief. Rachel finishes coloring the hat and sets her pencil down. When she sets the sketchbook down, her right eye stops glowing.
"That's what I saw," Rachel says. She smiles and shows the picture to Sally.
"Wow, I look just like Mommy," Sally says in awe. Rachel quickly signs the picture and rips it out. She hands it to Sally who is wide eyed. "I can have this?"
"Of course, it's you isn't it?" Sally looks at the paper and then gives Rachel a hug.
"I want to show Freddy," she says running towards the exit.
"What do you say?" Annabeth asks her daughter. Sally turns around without slowing down, effectively running backwards.
"Thank you," she says before she runs up the stairs. Annabeth and Rachel laugh.
"She is exactly like Percy when I first met him," Rachel says. This stung Annabeth slightly, another reminder that Percy and Rachel knew each other longer than she knew him. She quickly shook it off and returned her attention to Rachel. Rachel glances around before opening her sketchbook. "There is something you need to see."
"What is it?" Annabeth asks looking at the sketch book. Rachel flips through the book before landing on a picture. Annabeth looks and sees that the drawing was a picture of ten people walking down a hallway. The hallway looked one of the hallways of the Argos. Annabeth sees the older Sally, walking with a group of people who she did not know. To her right was a boy who looked similar to Percy, but he had longer hair and gray eyes. He was wearing a hoodie on top of a uniform that was similar to Sally's. At his feet were two wolves that were fairly transparent. To his right was a Chinese girl who had mechanical wings and a harness on top of the uniform that they all wore. Next to Sally's left was a boy who looked to be of Hispanic descent. He had a short haircut and carried a war hammer. Next to the boy was Cassandra. She looked to be in her twenties, on her right arm was a small arm band with red cross symbol and a green sword. Next to her was a girl in her twenties that looked similar to Rachel, but wasn't quiet her. On her arm was a armband with a green sword on it, similar to the one that Cassie was wearing. Next to her was a girl and a boy who looked to be a few years younger than Sally did. They looked related to each other, both having brown hair and piercing blue eyes. Next to them was a girl who looked to be of Japanese descent. She was holding onto a necklace and was punching the boy next to her, who looked a lot like Frank.
"This is the future," Rachel says simply. She points at the girl who looks like her. "This is my niece, the next person to channel the powers of Delphi."
"Is that Freddy?" Annabeth asks pointing to the boy next to the Chinese girl.
"I think so and I'm pretty sure she is Mei."
"Who are these other kids?"
"Frank Jr?" Rachel guesses pointing to the boy being punched. "Other than that I'm drawing blanks." Annabeth takes a breath.
"Are the in the military? Look at their uniforms," She says pointing. "The other picture, the one you just drew. It said Pvt Jackson. Does that mean Demi-humans are conscripted?"
"I don't know."
"Or are we doing this of our own free will?"
"I don't know."
"What if there is some war and they happen to be in the army."
"Annabeth," Rachel says putting her hand on hers. "It's the future. We don't know what it holds."
"But-"
"I don't have the answers," Rachel says cutting her off. "Delphi only gives me a small glimpse of the future. There are only two demi-humans who could give you the answer. Er, one demi-human and he just pops up randomly since we beat Kronos all those years ago." Annabeth's thoughts start to drift towards Luke, wondering where he is. "Anyways, what are you doing here?" Rachel asks.
"I came to talk to Leo," she says.
"I'll let you go, I'm getting a bit hungry," Rachel says standing up, somewhat shaky as she stands. She holds her left hand outward and uses it to prevent her from hitting the other bed. She turns her head slightly to the left to compensate for the lack of left peripheral vision. She bumps into a small table and stumbles. Annabeth reaches out, but Rachel waves her away. "No, I need to get used to it."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm fine, I just need practice." With that, Rachel walks out of the room slowly and makes her way up the stairs. Annabeth looks at the empty bed and then goes down to the engine room. She climbs the stairs down to the engine room door and opens it. As she opens it, she hears Leo scramble.
"I swear it's a comic book," he shouts as he puts something into a panel and slams it shut. He pulls out a black wrench and tightens a nut before turning. "Oh, it's you Annabeth."
"What was that?" she asks, pointing at the panel. Leo looks at that, then turns back to Annabeth.
"That is an electrical panel," he says pointing to a sticker. "See, dangerous."
"Then why did you put a 'comic book' in there?" she asks crossing her arms.
"Um. It's a good insulator?" he says, his pitch getting higher as he speaks. She raises an eyebrow.
"It wasn't a comic book was it?"
"Sure it was."
"What was it Valdez?"
"I told you it was a com-
"What is it?" she says tapping her foot.
"Porn?" he says, trying to see if it would convince her enough to not look. She narrows her eyes at him. He sighs and pulls out a black wrench. He holds it out for her and takes a step back. She takes it and uses the wrench to open the panel. The opening of the wrench was very deformed, to the point that it would not be able to open any other panel besides this one. She opens it and hands the wench back to Leo. She opens it slowly, in case he wasn't lying the second time. It turns out he was lying. Inside the empty panel was a small velvet box and a picture. She picks up the picture and sees that it was a picture of Calypso and Leo in Paris, on top of the Eiffel Tower. She puts the picture down and grabs the box. She looks at Leo before opening it. Inside was a somewhat simple engagement ring.
"You were going to propose?" she asks closing the box and putting it back. Leo nods before sitting on his cot. "When?"
"Too many times," he says leaning against a wall. "San Francisco, New York, Spain, Rome, Paris, Berlin, before the Battle of Athens, during the Battle of Athens, After the Battle of Athens. I just chickened out too many times...and now it's too late," he says punching his leg. "Right now I have no idea what I will do when I see her. If I see her."
"You can't talk like that," she says closing the panel.
"I can. We have proof that we aren't invincible. We aren't the 'gods among us' that the journalists say we are. We lost so many people already. Silena, Beck, Harley." Tears start to form in Leo's eyes. He wipes his eyes and pulls his legs up to his chest.
"We are trying. The DSR just wants us to give up. We can't give up." Annabeth sits on the bed next to him and puts her arm around him.
"DSR, how are people voluntarily joining a group calling themselves a regime? They are even freaking the criminal Demi-humans."
"Is that why Medea called you guys out?" she asks. Three days ago, Leo, Jason, and Piper went out on a mission to fight Medea, and they came back looking exhausted.
"Medea is Medea. She makes no sense with her crimes. Did I tell you about the time she held up a jewelry store and took hostages?" Annabeth shakes her head. "When the comes came and asked for her demands, all she wanted was a date with Jason. She is certifiably insane."
"What did she want then?"
"She wanted to make sure Jason was safe. Then she tried to 'mate' with him to 'ensure that at least a part of him will survive this'." He shudders. "It was so creepy." Annabeth and him laugh for a bit. Leo looks at his wrist before pulling a standard Argonaut comm device. "Where is Sally? She told me she would be here early."
"Knowing her, she probably was so happy about Rachel's picture that she made her draw more pictures of the future."
"Pictures of the future?" Leo says bringing his legs down.
"Rachel saw what Sally and a bunch of other kids look like years in the future. They are all wearing some sort of uniform," Annabeth says standing up.
"Huh, wonder what that means." He looks at his wrist again before turning back to the comm device.
"What happened to your fancy watch?" He looks at his wrist before looking back at her.
"Oh, I gave it to a...uh friend. In case she needs to contact me."
"She?" Annabeth asks. Before Leo could respond, his comm device beeps. He looks down at it and all emotions falls from his face. "What's wrong?" she asks. He blinks a few times before he looks at her.
"That was my friend. Her dad, the guy I went to Tampa for, he just died." He drops the comm device onto the bed and he stands up. He grabs his tool belt and starts working.
"What are you doing?"
"Working. I need to clear my head," he says in a panicked voice. She puts a hand on his shoulder and stops him.
"You need to rest and process this."
"I can't. If I do then it becomes real and…" he trails off. He was fully crying now. Annabeth pulls him into a hug and he cries into her pajamas. One of the computers light up and Festus's dragon face pops up. He whirs and clicks before disappearing. Leo let's go and wipes his face. "We are at Thalia's location." He turns to leave before Annabeth stops him.
"Sit this one out, okay?" Leo thinks for a few minutes before nodding. "Get some sleep."
"Sure," he says crawling onto his bed and curling up. Annabeth looks back at him one more time before leaving. She climbs the many steps of the ship back into her and Percy's room. She sees her mug on the ground outside of the door. She picks it up and enters the room. When she opens it, she sees that he had fallen asleep at the desk, all three computers still running. She shakes her head and grabs the blanket off the bed and put it on him. She changes out of her pajamas and head up to the command center. When she gets there, she sees Reyna, Rachel, Cassie, Matt, Bobby, Jason, and Piper. She raises an eyebrow at Piper show turns slightly red before looking away from her. She accidentally lock eyes with Jason and she turns again.
"We're here?" Annabeth asks.
"Yeah, here in Brazil at the buttcrack of dawn," Reyna says. Reyna was tossing a knife in the air and catching it by the blade.
"Speaking of which what are you three doing up?" she asks Matt, Bobby, and Cassie.
"Well Cassie wanted to work out," Bobby says.
"And we have to follow her because we are her bodyguards," Matt says, quickly glancing at Cassie. She rolls her eyes.
"I was going to use the treadmill, but I saw the sign that said, 'anybody using the training room before 5 am will be set on fire, then stuffed into a punching bag'," she explains.
"Oh yeah, that was Thalia's sign. Her room is above it and she would chase people who tried to work out while she was sleeping," Rachel explains, drawing something in her sketchbook, her right eye glowing green. She blinks twice and the glowing stops. She sets her pencil down and closes her notebook. "Who is going?"
"I'll go," Jason and Piper volunteer. They look at each other before turning away.
"I'm in," she hears Percy say behind her. She turns and sees that he still had the blanket on his back, and he still had not changed out of his pajamas. "I'm gonna go change," he says realizing what he was wearing.
"Sure, why not?" Reyna said catching her knife. "It'll give me something to do other than be Leo's work force."
"Where is Valdez?" Piper asks.
"Not feeling well," Annabeth replies.
"I want to go," Cassie says raising her hand.
"If she's going, we're going," Bobby says, with Matt nodding in approval.
"Nope, you three are staying on the ship," Annabeth says lowering Cassie's hand. The trio grumble and leave the command center. "Rach?" Rachel looks up.
"Uh, sure," she says a bit nervous.
"I didn't mean to put you on the spot," Annabeth says.
"No, I need to get used to things," Rachel says. She is engulfed in green light, and then she was in her Oracle garb. She makes her normal rifle, before dispersing it. "Guess I can't use that anymore." She holds her right hand out and a glowing green machine pistol is created. She holds it up and looks down the sight with her right eye.
"So, the five of us plus Percy can go," Piper says pushing off of the wall that she was leaning against.
"Yeah. How is your Portuguese?" she asks Piper.
"Uh, it's pretty rusty, even though it wasn't great to begin with."
"Great, does anybody speak Portuguese?" she asks the room. Everybody else shakes their heads. "How are we going to talk to the locals now?" she asks. She thinks for a moment until she came to a solution. She looks up and sees Piper is making a similar face.
"Are you thinking of the same person I am?" Piper asks her.
"Do you think she can?" she asks Piper.
"She speaks Chinese and Festus, how could Sally not speak Portuguese?" Annabeth shrugs. She pulls up a few recorded phrases of Portuguese and downloads them to her comm device.
"Let's find out," she says heading to her daughter's room. She makes her way down the stairs and knocks on her children's door before entering. She opens it and sees Freddy, still sleeping in his bed next to the water wolf, and Sally was laying on the floor snoring. The picture of what she looks like in the future was hanging above her, leading Annabeth to think that she hung the picture then was too stubborn to sleep in her own bed. She gently shakes her daughter awake.
"Mommy?" she asks very groggy. She rubs her eyes and tries to roll over. "I don't want to go to school today," she mumbles, going back to school.
"Sweetie, you aren't going to school," she says stroking her hair. Sally rolls over and sits up. She scratches her head and raises an eyebrow to Annabeth. Annabeth pokes her on the nose and laughs as she wiggles her nose.
"What is it Mommy?" She wipes her mouth, most likely making sure she didn't drool in her sleep. Annabeth pulls out her comm device.
"Do you know what this says?" Annabeth then plays the recording. Bem vindo ao Brasil, plays.
"Welcome to Brazil?" Annabeth checks the translation and plays the second recording. nós não falamos seu idioma, você pode falar inglês? "I speak English," she says confused. "You played it in English."
"No it wasn't," Annabeth says.
"Yes it was." Annabeth was going to argue more, but decide that she wouldn't be able to beat a five year old.
"Well, do you want to see a rainforest?" Her daughter's eyes lit up.
"A rainforest? Will we see monkeys?"
"Um, maybe," she says, trying to not to get her hopes up.
"Yay, monkeys!" she shouts. Annabeth lays some clothes out for her daughter as she wakes her brother up. She leaves the room to let her daughter change and bumps into Percy. He had changed into a shirt and jeans.
"Armory?" he asks holding his arm out.
"Of course," she says taking his arm. She leans her head on his shoulder as they make their way down to the armory. When they enter, they see Jason putting his Ventus suit on, with Reyna sitting on the bench talking to him. She was already wearing her armor over the toga and had her distinct purple cloak pinned on. She had a roman legionary helmet next to her, it now modified to cover her face a bit more.
"-ill don't get why you are acting weird. It's not like the first time that you guys have done it," Reyna says twirling one of her knives.
"It's the first time since we've broken up. Not to mention that before that, she tries to avoid me unless we are stuck together." Jason says trying to find the head hole of his suit.
"Didn't you guys go fishing like a week ago?" Annabeth asks as they enter. Jason turns to look at her.
"We sat there for three hours not talking. She spent the entire time drinking. I'm pretty sure the only reason she was there was because you told her to. She didn't say a word until Percy jumped off the ship."
"Wait, back and Jason hooked up?" Percy asks.
"Apparently it doesn't mean anything," Reyna says putting the knife into her right boot.
"Does it not mean anything? The command center was pretty awkward this morning," Annabeth says walking around to the girls side of the armory. She opens her locker and sees all of her equipment.
"She said it doesn't mean anything. She just needed to...let off some steam," Jason says.
"Yeah, when did this happen?" Percy asks, still somewhat clueless. Annabeth snorts as she zips up her jumpsuit. She grabs her cape and attaches it to her suit. She puts her weapons in her sheaths and holsters and adjust her boots. She was about to close the door to the locker when she sees an old picture. She picks it up and has a sad smile.
"I don't want to talk about this anymore," Jason says. She hears his footsteps leave the room.
"But this is the most interesting thing happening on the ship right now," Reyna cries as she chases him down. Annabeth looks back at the picture. It was a picture of the original team that they had in Manhattan, before the Argonauts was formed. They called themselves the Pantheon. The picture was taken eleven years ago, before her and Percy even started dating. Annabeth was only fifteen at the time. It was a picture of her, Percy, Rachel, Thalia, Calypso, Nico, Will, Larry, and Luke. She touches the place where Luke was and wondered where he was, or when he was to be more accurate. She hears footsteps and she throws the picture inside and closes the locker.
"You decent?" Percy says 'covering' his eyes. While his hand was over his face, there was a space for his eyes to see.
"Perv," Annabeth says while throwing her gloves at him. He laughs and catches them easily. He hands her her gloves and she puts them on. She puts her mask and scanner on and was ready to go. She looks at him and sees that he was still wearing the hoodie from when he was younger. "You are going into the Amazon in a sweater?"
"You're going to wear a cape, why can't I wear a sweater?"
"Aren't you going to be hot?" she asks as they head to the exit.
"I'm always hot." She punches him in the arm. "Well, I'll let you in on a secret. I keep a thin layer of seawater on my skin underneath the hoodie, to keep me cool no matter what temperature."
"Wait. If you get hot, why do you wear a hoodie?"
"We have be married for six years, dated for four before that, and superheroed together for three years before that and you are just now asking me that?"
"I didn't think of it till then," she admits. Percy grins.
"It is a psychological blow. People are too busy wondering how I am wearing a sweater that they get distracted in fights." She raises her eyebrows at him.
"Seriously, that's the reason?"
"Yup."
"You are an idiot," she says in a playful manner.
"Yeah, I'm an idiot." He reaches over and puts his arm around her. "But, I'm your idiot." She shakes her head, but smiles all the same. They make their way up to the main deck where the jump jet was parked. She sees Sally was standing at the opening of the ship with a backpack and the hard hat that Leo gave her. She sees her parents and she starts to wave. As they get closer she salutes to them.
"Chief Transrator Sally Jackson, reporting for duty."
"Translator," Annabeth corrects.
"Translator," Sally repeats, putting a lot of emphasis on the L. "Can you fix my hair?" she asks taking her helmet off. Sally had tried to pull her hair into a ponytail, like Annabeth tends to do, but she missed a large chunk and the headband was much too loose. Annabeth pulls the band out, fixes her daughter's hair. She crouches down and turns her around to face her.
"Okay. We are going into a very scary place, so you have listen to Mommy and Daddy very carefully okay." Sally nods. "If we tell you to run away, we need you to run away." She nods again. "Good." Annabeth takes her hard hat and puts it back on her head. "Let's go. Adventure awaits." Sally smiles and runs into the ship. Piper and Rachel were in the cockpit, Jason and Reyna were sitting next to each other on one side of the jump jet, and Percy and Sally were sitting on the other. Annabeth takes a seat next to Sally and she feels her take her hand. Annabeth gently squeezes her hand as the ship flies off of the ship towards the large trees of the Amazon.
A bit later in the day than normal, but I blame Fire Emblem Warriors.
