Percy, Piper, and Leo came back from a mini quest, having to retrieve something from CJ that CHB needed. There wasn't much trouble, except for three Karpoi that wouldn't leave them alone. It was fine, they were just really annoying.
So, Piper managed to charmspeak them into stopping, and Leo set on of them on fire, while Percy fended the other two off. The first was fairly easy, turning into dust as soon as Riptide passed through its abdomen. But the second one, managed to get Percy in the leg.
It wasn't deep, wasn't life-threatening, nothing too serious, but it did have to at least be taken care of and bandaged, so it didn't get infected. They were halfway back to Camp, and they still had a while to go. So, they made a makeshift bandage, and kept going.
When they finally arrived, they gave Chiron whatever he had needed and Piper demanded that Percy go to the infirmary. He was currently sitting on the big house couch, leg propped up on a chair perpendicular from him. He was laying on Annabeth's shoulder, and the rest of their friends were just scattered around the room.
They had picked up Frank and Hazel and taken them back.
"Percy seriously," Piper says, louder this time. "Your leg bandages are bleeding through. Again. I'm getting Will." So she leaves to go get him, and when she gets back with him, Percy mutters
"Will's a dick," making himself and the others laugh.
Because, everyone likes Will. He's nice.
Annabeth snorts, "Yeah, right."
"No, he's just a no-bullshit person. And you are a very bullshit person."
"Especially when you're hurt." Will adds.
Annabeth nods, "The more hurt you are, the more at odds with Will you are. Especially the ones you don't want to admit to having. Which, just so happens to be all of them."
Percy laughs, "it's a battle of wills, if you will,"
Everyone groans, except Leo (obviously), who fist bumps him.
"That's another thing Percy loooves doing at the expense of the Apollo cabin," Will informs the room, "Puns. Lots of puns."
