Getting back from the underworld was much easier than getting into it, and much faster. Though I was greatly confused by the whole trip, but I had gotten my answer from it, or at least the one that I had initially gone down for. I had to speak to my father, though now since I have made myself an enemy of olympus that shall be much harder. I know can not simply go down to Atlantais because I want too, I have to tread carefully know, plus with going back to my mom's apartment might be dangerous, then again, my sister the real fugitive is being held there so it might not be so bad.

As I started my walk down the street i saw smoke rising in the ari, black smoke coming from the area when my mom's building is.

They had burned it down. They had actually gone after my family and tried to kill them. I saw Athena, Ares, and Hephaestus in the crowded they all looked me right in the eye, Athena and Ares both smirked, but at least Hephaestus had the decency to look a little shameful. I saw my family and Annabeth standing off to the side getting treated by a medical team, I saw one familiar face among them, Fred, he was treating my baby sister. walking over to them I felt numb, I had caused this, the gods being mad at me, and they couldn't get to me because I was in the underworld so they went after those who I loved.

"Are you guys alright?"

"Fine, I don't know what caused the fire though, the fire department says that it might have been a gas leak and are checking the rest of the homes in the neighbourhood." my mom replied.

"If only I could believe that was true…"

"What do you mean Percy?" Annabeth asked. Her glare intensified as she looked to me for an answer.

"I might have, possibly, told the olympians that I wouldn't help them because they were going against my family…"

"What the Hades Percy!"

"I didn't really have a choice Annabeth! They were going to kill her and everyone she was working with!"

"Percy what about everyone else! Everyone at camp is counting on you!"

"Annabeth she is my family!"

"So are we! Percy we have been with you for the past six and a half years! Where was she/ running around making herself an enemy to the gods!"

"So you guys are almost even then in years knowing me Annabeth. My own sister thought that her family was dead and only just found out that she is alive, her father hates her and she is just trying to keep the people who became her family alive!"

"So what are we to you then?" Her voice got really soft after our yelling match with this statement, making me feel like a complete jerk, but I knew what I was doing. "Are we, the people at camp not your family? With all that we have been through?"

"I never said that Annabeth… What would you do if this was one of your brothers or sisters from the Athena cabin, who had know though your whole life, and had gone through an abusive parent with? Only to have them ripped away suddenly and come back eleven years later? Wouldn't you do anything to keep them from leaving again? Or diying? I don't think I can go through her dying on me again Annabeth. I almost didn't come back last time… don't make me go through that again."

"I won't," She took a shaky breath closing her eyes and started to turn away. "But I won't stand by you as you go against the gods." With that she ran in the other direction. I was at loss for words, she left me in my hardest time, the time when I needed her the most.

"We need to move, if it really was the gods then they will come looking for us." Andromeda said after a bit of silence.

"And where, pray tell, are we supposed to go?"

"Well my first thought would be the underworld but with mortals, I would have to say the resistances alpha base, since we are in new york."

"Alpha base? How many bases do you have?"

"At least one per state, one in every major city and one is all capital cities of each state. There's more than that, but I don't know their exact location, there's like 300 across all of north america so… but we can discuss this later, right now we have to get to safety."

"This is a warehouse Andromeda… how in the world is this supposed to help us?"

"It's only this mist Percy. It's a really thick version that no mortal can see though and even the gods have a hard time seeing though"

"Why? What are you hiding from?"

"The gods" She said it like it was nothing, like it didn't really matter who it was, they would never find her anyways.

"So is it behind these doors then?" I felt really dumb asking that, but knowing my sister, it wasn't like that at all.

"Nope, I have to go get the doors open though, I'll be right back should only take like a minute or two. Stay here." With that she ran around to the side of the building and disappeared from sight.

"Percy, how are you doing?" I was startled when my mom spoke, partly because I forgot that she was there, but also because I didn't really understand the question, which I think she got from the look on my face.

"With Annabeth leaving…" Oh, that's what she wanted to talk about.

"Honestly, I don't know… I thought that she would be the one person who I could count on this whole time, and now she's gone, all because she doesn't to stand by me." I started to wonder why, Annabeth has never done anything like this before, but then again all of her family would now be fighting against me. All of a sudden the ground started to move beneath us.

"Percy?" Paul said holding Ava closer to him.

"Andromeda? What's going on? I yelled at nothing hoping she could hear us.

"Hold on tight guys, don't worry everything is under control." Her voice came from nowhere, but there must have been hidden speakers somewhere because it sounded like a voice off an intercom kind of like at school. All of a sudden we were going underground, for a minute or two everything was dark and the only sounds were coming from Ava and Paul, Ava who was starting to cry and Paul who was trying to calm her. Finally a door opened up and there were people running around like crazy, all of them were dressed up in some sort of uniform that consisted of black pants, a black long sleeved shirt and what I thought were bullet proof vests. All of them had two different symbols on their chest, one looked like different symbols of the gods, though some of them I didn't recognize and the other was the greek letter Alpha, which I'm guessing was to symbolize what base they were from.

"Wow this place is huge Andy."

"It took years to make it this big. Before it was just Delta, Gamma and I running around saving demigods and others alike. Hades and Hestia just sent sent us out, all around North America and it came up to this with over 300 bases all around the US and there's about four or five hundred soldiers per base? I would have to double check but yeah, there's a lot, here there's more but that is because we are at the top base."

"Beta what the hell?!"
