Percy adjusted the large bag on his back filled with supplies that would help them throughout their journey. He stared off into the woods as he waited for Grover, Thalia and Dick to arrive. Annabeth was double checking everything in her bag and Princess Diana was pacing restlessly near the trees, muttering something too quietly for Percy to hear.

Earlier that morning Dick had begged Nico to come along on their journey, but Nico had reasoned that he had other responsibilities at camp. Although Dick seemed upset by this he understood, and the two boys parted ways after a long hug.

Percy jumped with a start when he heard a loud thud behind him. When he turned around he realized it had been Diana who had created the noise. She seemed to have stabbed her sword into the ground in frustration and then continued pacing.

Percy backed away from her carefully, receiving a quite chuckle from Annabeth who had noticed.

If ever asked, Percy knew he would admit instantly to being slightly afraid of the Amazonian warrior who Dick seemed to see as a mother figure.

Suddenly, Diana stopped pacing and turned her head sharply towards camp, a large smile broke out on her face. Percy glanced in the direction she was looking and saw Dick riding on Grover's shoulders followed swiftly by Thalia.

Percy's face broke out into a smile over the miserable look on Grover's face.

Percy waved his hand in the air and called out to them. "Hey squirt! You ready to get going?"

Dick laughed, he then swiftly stood up on Grover's shoulders and flipped off of them like it was nothing.

He giggled again at the startled faces of some of the members of the group. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be." He adjusted his bag on his shoulder and turned back to Grover. "You give the best piggy back rides! You think you could last the whole trip carrying me like that?"

Grover sighed and hung his head. "Most Satyrs would kick you for a comment like that." Grover mumbled gloomily.

Percy chuckled. "Come on Grover! He meant it as a compliment!"

Percy glanced at Dick to find him nodding furiously. Grover cracked a smile and ruffled Dicks hair. "Okay, okay, I'll let that comment slide but I think I'm gonna take a break from giving piggy back rides for a couple millennia."

Dick huffed and crossed his arms. "Awww, come on!"

"It's time we focused on the journey ahead of us." Came Diana's commanding voice.

Thalia stepped forwards excitedly. "I agree, but where too? We still haven't deciphered the prophecy."

"Find the bird who lived in the city of death." Annabeth mumbled.

"Well we already found Dick." Grover said.

Annabeth nodded. "A broken family reunited in the end."

"Me and Dick turned out to be family." Percy smiled.

"However you and Dick never considered each other family until you met a little over a week ago, therefore your relationship was never broken." Diana said deep in thought.

Dicks face scrunched up deep in thought. Worry passed through his eyes as realization hit him.

"Dick." Diana said softly. "Have you reunited with your father yet?"

Dick shook his head. "No, but that wouldn't make sense, because I've never met him either."

Diana looked at him carefully. "Are you certain of that."

Dick looked up at her puzzled. "No offence Diana, but I'm pretty sure I'd remember meeting the god of the sea."

"Not to mention that I spoke with Poseidon, he said he didn't even Know Dick existed." Percy said.

"What If Poseidon met Dick, without knowing who he was?." Annabeth said slowly. "Dick do you still have that letter from your mother?"

He shook his head. "No, it's still back in Gotham."

"I think something must have happened after you were born, something that terrified your mother. Something that had to do with Poseidon."

"Yeah, that must be why she was so afraid, and she broke apart your family by somehow hiding you from him! Thalia said.

"She didn't break apart my family!" Dick cried defensively. "I lived with my whole family for eight years! Poseidon isn't family! He's, he's." Dick struggled to find the word. "He's evil!"

Thunder cracked in the sky, resulting in Dick jumping into Percy's arms.

Diana raised an eyebrow, she eyed Dick as he clung onto Percy's waist in fear. Percy guessed she hadn't realized how close they had gotten until now. "It would be unwise to refer to your father in that way. Despite your clear dislike of him, it is always important to show respect towards the gods."

Dick looked up into the sky and nodded.

"So it's decided then we need to go visit Poseidon." Grover said.

"Not only to reunite Dick with his father, but we also have to find out what happened all those years ago. Somehow Dicks mother was able to mask his scent from monsters, hide his presence from the gods and prevent his powers from emerging. Whatever magic she used it's extremely powerful, and potentially dangerous." Annabeth said gravely.

"We need to go to Mount Olympus." Diana said. "If such magic truly does exist, I have a feeling more than Poseidon will wish to have an audience with you."

"Aww man! Does this mean another trip to New York?" Grover asked.

"No." Diana said. "There is another entrance. It is technically against the rules to bring you to this place, but I believe I can make an exception." She smiled mischievously.

Dick began jumping up and down. "Are we going where I think we're going?"

"Yes, this entrance is found in one of the most glorious places in the world! My home."

Now Thalia was jumping up and down along with Dick. "Oh gods, are we going to Themyscira?"

Diana nodded.

Percy smirked and whispered to Thalia. "Careful, if you keep fangirling like that you might end up ruining your reputation as one of Artemis's esteemed hunters."

Thalia gave him a death glare and elbowed him in the ribs. "Shut up, Jackson!"

"Do we get to fly in your invisible jet?" Dick asked. Percy arched an eyebrow in confusion.

Diana looked up hesitantly. "Yes, But we'll have to pray to Zeus for clear skies." She sighed wearily. "I've... already had to make a... deal of sorts to be granted permission to aide you. I hope I'm not stretching my luck."

"What kind of deal?" Percy asked."

"It matters not. Now come, my vehicle is rested on the beach." Percy glanced at Thalia, she had the same worried look. What had Diana sacrificed in order to help them?

As the group trudged on towards the shore Percy noticed the nervous look on Dicks face. "Hey what's wrong? You nervous about meeting Poseidon? I promise he's not as bad as you've been made to believe."

Dick sighed. "It's not just that. In the past week I've had so much fun here I didn't realize... that I, well... I lost something." Dicks cheeks started flushing red and he turned his head away from Percy.

"Hey, Dick, it's okay. You can tell me anything." He rested a comforting had on Dicks shoulder.

Dick looked up at Percy and he could see that there were tears threatening to fall. Dick reached a hand towards his neck and sighed. "My parents wedding bands. After they died I wore their rings all the time, I never took them off. It made me feel like I was carrying them around with me wherever I went."

Dick sniffled quietly. "I only noticed they were gone yesterday. When I realized I couldn't read the newspaper. My parents rings usually calm me down, and-and I realized they weren't there." Dick furiously tried to blink away his tears. "I can't believe it took me this long to realize they were gone."

Something clicked in Percy's mind and his hands flew down to his pockets.

Rings?

Hadn't he pulled off a chain carrying rings when Dick first arrived? He promised himself he would return them right away, but he had never truly taken them out of his pocket! In all the excitement he had forgotten all about them.

He dug in his pocket pleading silently. Was this the pair he had been wearing that day. He usually kept his darker pair of jeans for travel, but he had two pairs of dark blue jeans. Was this the right one?

Suddenly his hand made contact with something small and cold.

He pulled out the chain of rings and presented it to Dick proudly.

Dick looked at them in shocked and snatched them out of Percy's hand. He put the chain around his neck gratefully and pressed the rings to his forehead, eyes closed. "Thank you so much Percy! Where did you find them."

Percy rubbed the back of his neck guiltily. "Well, actually I'm the one who pulled them off in the first place. It was the first day you'd arrived and when you dashed off into the woods I tried to pull you back but only ended up taking your rings instead. I'm really sorry! I was going to give them back but I forgot!"

Dick smiled softly. "It's alright, you brought them back when I needed them the most and that's all that matters." He hugged Percy lightly and tucked his rings under his shirt.

Percy was pulled out of his conversation with Dick when he heard Diana call up ahead. "We have arrived!"
