*General PoV*

"Ok," Annabeth said Friday evening before capture the flag. "Athena is with Apollo and Hermes, and Aphrodite is with Ares. So, Percy and Leo," she pointed at the two boys. "are on border patrol. Piper is going to search the woods for Thalia. We're just going to let this play out the same as before. Percy will get beaten up by the Ares cabin," said boy slumped in his seat. "then Percy gets attacked by the hellhound, etc. Leo will be hiding in a tree."

Leo grinned. "I like this plan."

Percy glared at him. "I don't."

"Well, that's what we have. It worked last time, it'll work this time." Annabeth said. "Let's go."


Thalia had been at work cleaning up Bunker Nine all day. She had cleared away all the dust on the tables and cabinets, and swept the floor. That didn't sound like much, but there were a lot of tables and cabinets.

She immerged from the cavern that afternoon. She had heard about the first capture the flag Percy had been in, and she definitely want missing that. And besides, she needed to get some food and while the entire camp was in the woods would be as good as time as any.

Thalia crept through the forest, following the creek. Percy had told her that his first capture the flag was when he was claimed. She had pried the details out of him, and he'd been by the creek.

She eventually found the clearing where Percy and Leo where and silently climbed in a tree near the edge.

When Thalia saw Percy helping Leo up a tree she nearly gave away where she was, but she managed to stifle her laughter.

This would be fun.

Happy pride month everyone!
