A little glimpse of what the Argo crew is up to.

I do not own Percy Jackson nor Heroes of Olympus, they belong to Rick Riordan.

Chapter Fourteen - Fiona

She handed Reyna the ice pack, who gently pressed it to Hylla's darkly bruised cheek. The others tended to the other Amazons.

It'd been nearly eight months since Alyx had mysteriously disappeared on the day of her seventeenth birthday. Percy and Annabeth had burst into the dining hall, panicked and in their pajamas, saying that Alyx, Riptide and her dagger were missing. They immediately put out search parties, hoping to find her in the woods or in the city.

They didn't.

They searched everywhere in New York and San Francisco. Even going as far as Seattle to search. They had the Amazons and the Hunters look, and Olympus was notified and told to keep an eye out for Alyx.

But now, they had nearly given up hope.

"Thank you, sister." Hylla said, sighing as the coolness touched her cheek. "I do not know why she took us out. It was all of us versus one."

"She?" Reyna asked.

"Yes." Hylla moved her jaw, wincing. "Two males and a female." Fiona took the canteen of nectar from Leon, who then went over to the Amazon's tech, Ava. She handed it to Hylla, who took it gratefully.

"What were these demigods like?" She asked. Hylla took a small sip and thought for a moment.

"The female was in very good physical shape. One male had a body like Hank, and then the other like Gray." She glanced at her brother, who wrapped an Amazon's arm, talking softly to her. She knew that Alyx missing had taken a toll on him. The pale gold eyes, the bags and his working out proved so. She'd catch him beating up dummies on the deck to get out his anger.

"Hmm…" Reyna said, rubbing her chin. "What did they look like?" Hylla sighed and shook her head.

"I couldn't tell. All three wore masks of high technology that not even Ava could figure out." She looked down, gripping the pack tightly.

"I see…" Reyna said, a bit disappointed. "Did they carry anything on them?"

"Backpacks. We found that one of men had a Celestial Bronze dagger and sword." Reyna nodded.

"Good, good." Hylla glanced at the others nervously.

"But… What disturbed me the most was the female's eyes." Reyna stiffened.

"Do you believe it was Alyx?" She asked.

"I'm not positive. We didn't remove their hoods, so we couldn't see their faces. Their hoods and the masks made them look like Hunters." She bit her lip. "The female's eyes were silver grey with sea green. She had tan skin and wore black eyeliner."

"That's useful." Reyna said. "Not many have grey eyes with green in them."

"I also saw wisps of black hair and they wore black."

"Good, good." Reyna let out the breath she was holding.

"Um…" She heard Ava say nervously behind them. They turned to see Leon grinning, holding a tablet. "I planted tracking devices in their packs when they were out, so Leon has picked up their signal." Leon turned her tablet and showed three red dots in the same location, unmoving.

"I think we should wait until they start moving to track them." Leon said, her voice tired and hoarse from staying up late.

"Thank you, Hylla." Reyna said, hugging her sister. "We will keep you updated." Hylla nodded, handed the canteen back to her and then went to see how her unit was doing. Fiona crossed her arms.

"But not enough to confirm that it was Alyx." She said sourly.

"It's a lead, Fiona." Reyna glanced at Bianca, who handed Hylla a pack, smiling happily at her, but Fiona saw pain behind it. No one could hate Bianca at all. She was simply too sweet and kind to hate, and she was working her best to find her niece. She glanced at Scott next, who helped a few girls load up. After Yuu broke up with him for being gone for too long, he went through a sad phase, plus Alyx missing. Then Robin coped him through it, and one night after Capture the Flag, he grabbed her waist and kissed her in front of the entire camp.

Reyna and the boys had nearly killed him for that.

"We should get back on board and contact Chiron."

They stood in the control room, everyone tired and the mood didn't seem lifted even with the hope of a lead on Alyx.

Reyna flipped the drachma. "O Fleecy, do me a solid. Show me Chiron at Camp Half-Blood." The mist shimmered, and showed Chiron and Percy in the Big House.

Poor Percy. He seemed to have aged in these months, dark bags under his eyes and always looking sad. He got into the habit of tapping his fingers periodically on the table, like he was doing now. Annabeth was due any day, but she wanted Alyx there so bad.

"Hello, Chiron." Reyna greeted, startling both.

"Oh my!" Chiron said. "You scared me!"

"I apologize."

"Oh no, it's fine, dear." He sighed, his shoulders sagging. He was in his teacher mode, in his wheelchair, a blanket over his legs and in his sweater, his beard nicely trimmed. Percy gave Reyna a weak, sad nod.

"We have troubling concerns." He said. "Mr. D is missing." They collectively flinched.

"That… That is what we are calling about." Reyna said. "When we were in the Sequoias, we had been signaled by the Hunters." Percy sat up, getting more interested, hoping for something about his daughter. "Thalia said that Artemis had been missing, and then a message was delivered to us saying the gods have been captured."

"The gods have been captured?" Chiron said. "How?"

"We're not sure." Phillip piped in. "We believe whoever is behind it is very powerful." Chiron nodded.

"Also," Reyna said. "We may have a lead on Alyx." Percy sat up even more.

"You think so?"

"We're not positive, but Hylla encountered three demigods in Santa Fe. Two males and a female, dressed in black with hoods and masks."

"And?" He asked impatiently.

"Hylla described the female having silver grey with sea green, tan skin and wisps of black hair." Hank and Scott sat up straight. "Ava planted tracking devices on them."

"B-But, you think it might be her?" Percy asked, a piece of his hair falling in his face.

"We have hope, Percy."

"Please, find her." He begged.

"We will." They nodded and the message shut down. Reyna turned, crossing her arms and looking at the table. The dots hadn't moved.

"Rest, everyone. Eat and go rest." Everyone disbanded, but she stayed, watching Reyna look at the board.

It was quiet for a moment.

"You may go too, Fiona."

"Nah, I'm good." She sat in Leon's chair, leaning back. Reyna sighed, sitting down as well.

"I had another dream of Alyx again, this time when she and the triplets were taking sword class." She put her elbow on the table, setting her chin in her hand, and her eyes looked glossy. "I miss her being that little."

"She was only eight." Fiona said. "We were starting too."

"I know, but…" She smiled a bit. "She was such a good role model for my babies. She did everything to follow in Percy's footsteps."

"Reyna," she said. "Alyx, wherever she is, is probably doing the same thing right now. We'll find her, I promise."

"Right…" Reyna said. "I know, I know." She sighed, running her fingers through her hair.

"We'll find her…"
