A/N: And another chapter for you guys. Cute Solangelo enclosed.

Annabeth sat at the Athena table in silence. Her siblings didn't like to talk much, unless they got an idea. She saw Will and Nico sitting together and it made her smile. She was glad Nico found happiness somewhere.

"Dei Sei così carino." she heard Nico say. (Gods you're so cute.)

"What does that mean?" Will questioned.

"Can't tell you." Nico responded.

Annabeth knew what Nico said. All the children of Athena could understand multiple languages. She decided she would tell Will what Nico said later. Annabeth decided to focus on something else. Her mind fell back to the Daedalus laptop, which she could never get back. It made her frown, knowing such a brilliant piece of technology would be gone forever. It had been over a year, but sometimes she just wished she had it.

"Why the long face, Wise Girl?"

Annabeth looked at her boyfriend, who had just plopped at their table, "Just thinking about the laptop. I miss having it."

"I know you do."

Percy pushed the corners of Annabeth's mouth up into a smile and Annabeth pushed Percy off the table. Her siblings laughed and Annabeth smiled.

"That was mean."

"Oh quit being a baby, Seaweed Brain."

"Come on, Nico."

"Where we going?"

"Out for a walk. You need the sun."

"Fine. As long as you're buying lunch."

"Deal."

Will and Nico walked towards the border. Will wanted to walk around outside the camp. It was getting boring looking at the same thing every day. They walked hand in hand through the streets.

Will went to say something then stopped himself. Nico saw that it was bugging him.

"What is it?" Nico asked.

"That guy there. He has a brain tumor. I want to tell him, but I don't want to seem weird. Should I tell him? I don't think he knows. I think he should know, but how do I explain how I know about it?"

Nico looked at the guy Will pointed out and saw the grief he was carrying. He would recognize that grief anywhere.

"He lost someone close to him a few years ago. I can sense her. She hasn't crossed on the ferry yet because she's waiting for him. I fail to see how that's a bad thing."

Nico squeezed Will's hand for reassurance and Will faintly smiled at him.

"I guess you're right."

"Now stop worrying, okay?"

"Okay."

Hazel stood at the perimeter by the Caldecott tunnel with Michael Kahale. Reyna placed her here due to her ability to sense things in tunnels. She was glad Michael wasn't a chatty person to do perimeter watch with, like some of the demigods and legacies. She was facing the border, keeping an eye out for monsters and the Hunters.

Hazel saw something move in the dark and focused on that spot. She got Michael's attention and pointed the area to him. He nodded, confirming that he too saw something. They walked up towards it, carefully with their swords drawn.

A voice said, "Hunters of Artemis here."

A face popped up. It was a pale girl with short, choppy black hair and bright blue eyes, like Jason's. Hazel assumed this was Thalia Grace, Jason's sister.

"Welcome to Camp Jupiter. I'll take you to the praetors." Hazel said.

"Thank you." Thalia responded.

More Hunters came out of the brush and followed Hazel to where Reyna and Frank were.

"Welcome, Hunters." Reyna announced.

"Thank you, Reyna. We found the monsters about an hour away from your camp. They have been slaughtered."

Reyna looked at Hazel and said, "Let everyone know that perimeter watch is over."

"Yes, praetor."

Hazel exited the building and Thalia asked, "Would it be alright if we stayed here for the night?"

"Of course."

Thalia told her Hunters to set up camp while she talked with Reyna.

"Good thing I got your letter when I did. The eagle found me about a half hour away from your camp. Your people saw me before I saw them."

Frank chuckled, "At least you popped out by Hazel and Michael. They aren't the 'attack first and ask questions later' people."

"Yes. Thank the gods for that. I've lost too many Hunters over the years."

"Frank and I can show your Hunters around the Camp tomorrow morning if you would like."

"That would be great. We know our way around Camp Half Blood, but not this one."

"Hey, Annabeth?" Will asked.

"Yes?"

"You can speak multiple languages, right?"

"Yep."

"Italian?"

"You want me to tell you what Nico said to you earlier today."

"If you don't mind?"

"He said, 'Gods you're so cute.'"

"Why couldn't he have just told me that in English?"

Annabeth shrugged, "Beats me."

"Could you teach me something to say to him in Italian?"

"Sure."

"I'm going to have to get back to you on that one. I need to come up with something very good."

Annabeth smiled slightly, "No problem. You know where to find me."

Percy came up behind Annabeth and asked, "What was that about?"

"¿No te gustaría saber?" (Wouldn't you like to know?)

Percy looked at her and said, "I hate it when you do that."

"Lo sé. Es por eso que lo hago." (I know. It's why I do it.)

Percy just glared at her and Annabeth laughed.

"I'll just ask Leo."

Annabeth raised her eyebrow and asked, "Can you repeat what I said?"

"Shut up."

Nico grimaced at the stinging sensation the hydrogen peroxide gave him.

"Well if you quit hurting yourself, you wouldn't be going through this." Will reminded him.

Nico stuck his tongue out at Will.

"Very mature. Now sit still."

Will gently wiped Nico's wound with a cloth and applied triple antibiotic ointment and band-aids.

"There you go. Now seriously, stop hurting yourself."

"Tell the Hephaestus cabin to quit building traps for the Hermes cabin to steal."

"You tell them that. I'm not intimidating when I'm angry, but you are."

Nico shrugged back into his aviator jacket and pulled his pant legs back down, "Fine, but I'm telling Chiron you sent me."

Nico left the infirmary and Will just shook his head. Nico shadow traveled into the Hermes cabin, scaring all of those inside.

"What do you want?" one of the younger ones asked.

"Why are you stealing traps from the Hephaestus cabin?"

"Because it's fun."

"Well you need to stop. I had several go off and hit me today." Nico gave them his best death glare, hoping to scare the kids into submission, like he had done before.

"Why do you want to take our fun away?"

"Do you want to explain to the Apollo cabin why they have so many freak accident patients coming in?"

A few shook their heads and Nico continued, "Then stop."

Nico made sure to let the darkness in to amplify his glare as he shadow traveled out. His next stop was to the Hephaestus cabin to increase their damn security.
