Hey! Guess who's back! The climax is approaching, the plot thickening, characters dying! Jk. But my Mom finally got me Magnus Chase and I love it! I will start writing a one-shot as soon as I am done with this chapter. Anyway, to the Blonde Superman…

Jason

Jason took deep breaths, a futile attempt at calming his nerves. Gazing at the setting sun, Jason felt a little bit of hope flee with the long rays of the golden sphere, another day wasted, gone. He was so close, less than twenty miles away. So tantalizingly near his chest ached. Piper was just out of his grasp, he just needed to find her prison. He would be able to see her, help take care of his baby, but part of him pulled back, the annoying part of Jason's mind that tended to make his emotions declare war on each other, armies refusing to surrender.

She must hate him, for getting her pregnant. Putting both of their lives on hold. For actually taking action when she begged him to make her feel better, to take her pain away. He hadn't been able to gaze upon her sob-wracked body, her broken mind jumbled by the nightmares of Leo's death. So he had done something his Dad would've done. Which made Jason angry at himself. Now she was being punished for his hasty and desperate attempts at comfort. But then the hopeful part of Jason ( His favorite part), reminded him of the family he would soon have, he would get Piper and their baby back. All he needed was to find the location of her captivation.

Unfortunately, they couldn't find a place that fit the vision. Storybrooke was a small town, and yet no hidden doors, camouflaged tents, or underground passageways had been found.

Jason would've found asking the locals the better option...if there were any. Percy and Annabeth confirmed the fact after a full sweep of the picturesque town, not a single mortal, monster, or demi-god.

So they all searched, Frank even turning into a star-nosed mole, burrowing beneath the dirt to search for underground rooms. But with the growing absence of the glowing sun, their effort dulled, even Nico, who looked exhausted despite the shadows clinging to him.

" We have to call it a night, we won't do the girls any good if we're dead on our feet." Leo's voice raised, trying to call down Frank from his perch atop a clocktower.

Jason was not going to stop, everyday was one where Piper was in danger.

" I'm not stopping, there's no dissuading me." He told Leo, trying to shake off his buddy, who was following him through the streets, but Leo tried to protest.

" Dude-"

"Guys! I think I found what we're looking for!" Nico poked his head out of a window pane of the clock tower.

Jason's heart skipped a beat, had Nico really done it?

Racing, Jason made his way through the library, and up a winding staircase. He could hear the others on his tail, but he needed to know first.

He started to ask, " What did you….Oh."

Nico stood in front of one of the walls on the side of the pale clock, his face awash in a blue glow. Burning in the plaster was glowing triangle, no, a Delta. The symbol of…

" Daedalus. Jason… they're in the labyrinth." Nico's words were heavy, and Jason recalled the awful tale of an eleven year old Nico guided by Minos through the treacherous maze.

Footsteps fell in behind him, followed by a strangled gasp. Turning, Jason found Annabeth clinging to Percy, one hand on her mouth. Percy looked grim, which meant the situation just got worse, if possible.

But Jason was so close…

"How do we open it?" He turned to Percy, who seemed more likely to strike up a conversation than Annabeth at the moment, but she spoke first.

"Only half-bloods can open it, just touching the symbol. But how are we going to find them without getting lost?"

Jason didn't have a clue, even if by some miracle they found Piper, Reyna, and Hazel, how were they going to get back out? From previous descriptions, the labyrinth shifted, an interlocking maze. That wasn't really encouraging, but Nico had come prepared.

" Ever since the Labyrinth, i've carried thread in my 's not the as good as yarn, but it will work just fine."

Nico extracted two spools of midnight thread from his jacket pocket, presenting it to the small group. Jason couldn't help but feel impressed, the kid was really prepared for pretty much anything the fates threw at him. Which was a lot. Nico began to tie one end to the metal rail on the balcony while Percy retrieved some of his humor.

" So you still carry Mcdonald's with you? Or was it BurgerKing?" Percy jested, a ridiculous grin on his face.

Nico stood rigid, at sixteen, he was more intimidating than Zeus. He stalked over to Percy, his face molded in outrage.

" Enough with the Mcdonald's jokes. Now are focused on our rescue mission or not?"

Nico sucked the humor out of Percy's features.

Jason couldn't wait any longer, he grabbed Nico's spool of thread, and placed his hand on the Delta. It pulsed, and a section of the door slid back revealing a black void.

Now hesitating, thoughts only on Piper, Jason plunged into the darkness.

It was dark. Until Leo lit up his hands, then he became a living candelabra. The rippling flames casting flickering shadows against the smooth tunnel walls.

Jason stayed in the lead, unraveling the thread when it was taut. He listened for any signs of life, a shuffle, a murmur, a whisper. The others thankfully silent, already scared enough by the lurking threats of Empousi. They stalked along in the tunnel, listening for the expected hiss of the she-demons. Until they met the young one. Jason had nearly skewered her with his gladius, but she had given a small moan. She looked fourteen, and she had a butter knife imbedded in her stomach, her fire hair was dull, sprawled against the wall like a baby doll. She was clearly in pain, and her whimpers pierced Jason's heart. Frank already had an arrow notched, but Jason held up his hand, crouching.

" Who are you? And what happened?"

The girl raised her head, eyes full of fear.

"Emma," She moaned, " One of the prisoners got me, the one with the cape. You're here to rescue them?"

Jason's heart danced, and Nico had a joyful smile rarely seen.

" Yes, and in return for helping us, we'll heal you."

"No!" Annabeth voiced, bringing her drakon bone sword to the vampire's throat. " She'll kill us first chance she gets."

" Please, I hate it here. They left me to die. Even the Great Mother wouldn't heal me. I follow the true path of Hecate. I promise I won't harm you. Here, The guards are on transition, the first door on the right. The password is Ρέα."

Jason's alarm bells buzzed along with his erratic pulse.

"Who's the Great Mother?"

But the Empousa has passed out.

" Percy, Annabeth. Can you carry her out? We'll check out the door." Jason gestured toward Frank, Leo, and Nico.

The two grabbed the girl's pale arms, and followed the trail of thread back to the exit.

Pulse beating fast, Jason ran down the hall, on the right, a stone door loomed.

It was now or never.

"Ρέα." He commanded, and the door slid open revealing the interior.

And his vision tunnelled.

Her caramel hair wild, kaleidoscope eyes dancing, and her stomach…Enormous. His baby. He felt tears flow beneath his glasses.

She sat on the floor surrounded by Reyna and Hazel. He duly noted their reunions, and he ran.

He ran over the rough concrete, and slid next to her. She was crying. He touched her stomach, and he felt a sharp kick. Piper hissed, but did not cease to smile. His hands traveled up to her cheeks.

"You came for me." She sobbed.

Jason nodded.

And he kissed her.

A passionate kiss that she returned, hungry for the lost months stolen away. Burning and desirable. Then she lurched away gasping for breath. Jason was paralyzed.

" Piper? What's wrong? What's happening? " He rushed the words, holding her hands, which were tightening around his.

" It's another contraction." Piper was gritting her teeth. Reyna rushed over from her tearful reunion with Nico, rubbing Piper's back.

Was she really….

Piper looked at him, and his fears returned, sudden and swift.

" Jason, The baby's coming."

Oh yeah. This is awesome! Thank you so much for the continual support! Next Chapter will be from Piper's POV(Duh). Thank you and Adios!
