Hey everyone. I'm extremely sorry about all this time it's taking me. I've had a super busy life recently and not all of it good. I had a wedding this weekend, my Great Grandmother has cancer and is choosing not to have treatment so I'll be visiting her for what will be the last time most likely next weekend. It's been super tough since finding that out. On top of all this my first final is Monday and then I'll be testing all week. But I'm getting through it and moving on.

Anyways enough about me, here's a new chapter for you. The next step in Jason and Piper's beginning story here. Next chapter will be from Nico's point of view. I hope everyone's excited about Nico and Reyna coming in. Then after them we'll get back to my beloved Percabeth. The plot is thickening and things are starting to come together. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. I typed most of it in the back of a car driving to the wedding in Indianapolis and am uploading it by using my phone as a hot spot. So I hope you enjoy. There's another AN at the end of the story I'd like everyone to take a look at, especially those who entered an OC in Tamers of the Sea or those who missed the opportunity and wish they could have. There will be an opportunity at the end of the story for more OC's to make their way into the story. Not for a Pirate crew this time. But it will be equally fun I think. Anyways! Thank you and Enjoy the chapter.

Cherry98Blossom- No doubt right? I'm glad I could distract you for a little while. Hunger games quote was well taken haha. Sorry it's taken me so long to get this chapter out. It was a mix of being so busy, as well as wanting this chapter to fit well and not be a copy of Percy and Annabeth. I already know what I'm doing with Nico and his is much more different than Percy's already, but Jason's I'd been a little unsure of. But I got it taken care of so read this chapter and let me know what you think.

Mccanner- Thanks! Hope you like this new chapter.

Astral8- I'm glad I'd updated as well haha. Just wish I'd gotten this chapter up sooner. You'll find out in this chapter. Read my friend. Read.

Bmftas101- I did indeed. And now I'm doing it again.

Another Random Human- Thanks! It warms my heart how much you and others have been enjoying this story. The crew will return… probably haha. Can't give too much away now can I?

Misty Azalea Fiary- Yeah, Zeus loves his kid too much to not get back involved the moment he thinks he can. I hope you enjoy this next chapter in the story.

Reading Pixie- Thank you. I hope you like this story.

Hussainzubair68- We will be getting to Nico the next chapter so no worries. This one is all about Jasper.

Trebott- Thank you. I'm glad to pull you back into my little world here haha. Enjoy this chapter.

Guest- Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it. and someday he might. Who knows?

JelloGirl323- (I love jello. It's the best.) I'm glad you enjoy my stories so well. I love it when people tell me they've been enjoying them so much. I'm sincerely sorry that it took so long to update and you had to wait. Especially after such a convincing review for me to quickly update.

The Story that Never Ends- (If your name is based off never ending tale +10 points to you. If not… +5) I enjoy it that you've been eating my story up. And as stated in the above AN several reasons sadly. Hopefully this summer will be much better for updating often and getting time to write. Sorry about the late update but I hope you enjoy.

Smithymd- Thank you. Very much. Your words mean a lot to me. I'm glad you think I've a talent with writing. Enjoy this new chapter.

Chapter 6

He arrived at the door, a bouquet of lilies in his hands as he knocked upon her door. Concentrating on his breathing as if he were about to start a fight with an un-killable monster again.

The door opened and time slowed for a moment as she came into view. Dressed spectacularly in a floral print summer dress in hues of deep pinks and blues she smiled when she saw him. Dressed as he was in jeans, a white v-neck and a leather jacket with a pair of aviators hanging from the v in his shirt he cut a tasty scene.

"You look great." He commented.

"You're not so bad yourself, though I don't think I've seen such a stereotypical pilot look even in a movie."

"Well when I go flying I like to look the part."

"What do you mean—" She began as he linked arms and began dragging her toward the elevator.

"Just close your eyes and trust me eh?"

/-/-/

She was two parts excited, three parts terrified as Jason helped her up in to the co-pilot seat of his 'twin engine cessna' as he'd called it. Or his 'baby'.

He climbed in beside her soon after closing her door, a smile on his face as he put his sunglasses on and handed her a second pair that had been hanging form the visor of the plane. "You ready?" He questioned as the engines turned on and he began pulling out onto the tarmac of the air strip.

"I'm just going to close my eyes for a bit."

"Fine. Just open them when I tell you too." He chuckled, pushing the plane forward to take off, using his powers to keep them as steady and calm as he could while she was with him.

He waited till they were high in the sky, the setting sun off to their right, beautiful as it filled the sky and land in amber light.

"Alright, open them."

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted to the sun setting behind a huge compilation of clouds, the moon just across the sky and beginning her climb for the night.

"It's beautiful."

"Isn't it? Much prettier without the plane."

His muttered phrase caught her attention. "but then you wouldn't be flying at all."

Her laughter seemed to breathe life into him. "I suppose so hhmm? Not like humans can fly."

It was at that moment that the engine decided to explode. Smoke suddenly pouring from the engine as they started descending at a rapid pace. It was also then that Jason, searching for the problem with his plane, noticed a small folded piece of paper on the floor of the plane. Picking it up, ignoring Piper's screaming next to him as she glared at him.

The symbol drawn on the paper would have meant nothing to anyone other than Jason, his brothers, and their special ops group from their stint in Serbia during the Bosnian War. Their opposition in the war, and who they found themselves up against often throughout the war. A group blessed and claimed by unknown dieties that they still hadn't been able to figure out. Even after wiping out, what the thought was the whole group. He'd need to warn Percy and Nico they were on the move again and targeting them. They'd also need to contact their old comrades and make sure they were safe.

Instincts kicking in Jason quickly grabbed Piper. "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me?"

Her screaming cut off abruptly. "What are you talk—"

All other words were cut off as he grabbed her and pulled her into his lap, blasting the door to the plane off and jumping out. Taking a screaming Piper with him.

"Fucking Serbians. That was my favorite plane."

The explosion from the plane as she finally blew completely up knocked Piper from his grasp. Her screaming cutting straight to him as she fell, desperately clawing for him as she did so.

"Well, if she doesn't remember after this, I have some serious talking to do with Uncle Apollo for his care of patients."

Using the winds to push him faster he shot like an arrow towards her. Hands stretched out before him as her fear filled eyes stared at him.

He quickly caught up, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her to him. Kissing her full on the mouth as he slowed their decent and brought them to a stop, hovering hundreds of feet above the ground.

"Jason?"

With this one name she fainted in his arms.

"So now you remember? I should have started with a plane blowing up. I'll have to send those Serbians a 'thank you' for getting you memories back.

/-/-/

She woke up just as he was finishing a group call with Percy and Nico.

"Good morning beautiful. How are you feeling?"

"Why are you at my apartment? Don't get me wrong, this is the best view I've ever woken up to. Our date must have went really well last night considering I took you home with me. What happened last night?"

His world crashed around his ears as she checked her alarm, completely oblivious as to who he was, how she'd just destroyed his world for the second time, or even what had occurred last night. The stress must have caused her to lock those memories away naturally.

"Well, we went for a plane ride."

"I remember that. The view was beautiful."

"The plane blew up."

She froze in her spot. "I don't remember that… you pulling my leg here? How'd we survive the fall then?"

"I had a parachute with me, I was able to strap us both into it and pull the cord before we had fallen too far. You can thank my army days for that."

He could read the unbelief in her eyes as she glared at him. Thinking this some joke and that he should just come clean.

"Look at the outfit your still in. it's scorched. Just like my own clothes."

She had to admit, her clothes were scorched, smelling of oil and smoke.

"Fine, let's say that did all happen. Why should I not be furious with you for taking me up in a faulty plane and almost getting me killed. Then, in what has to be the most exciting day of my life, and I can't remember a thing about it."

"Well first of all, the plane was in perfect working condition." His finger on her lips stopped her outburst. "It was rigged to blow and break. By some old friends of mine from the Bosnian War, looking to get even."

"You mean friends of your dads right? That was in 94 and 95. You and I would have definitely been like 2 when that happened. If even that."

"Right… my dad's friends. Either way. I can't be leaving you alone right now, and you and I have to pack up and get to my brothers. If these guys are after us I need to get you there so that we'll be safe. They certainly know you are associated with me, so I'm sorry but you're now in danger. I promise once I get you to my brothers we'll be able to get you, and ironically enough, two other girls to safety. These people are no joke. Now quickly, pack a bag with what you need."

He carried himself as if this was the most normal thing to him, as if she shouldn't be freaking out that someone was after them. Or more specifically him, and she was involved by default for going on a date with him. "STOP!"

Her shout stopped him in his tracks, turning to look at her, unimpressed by her outbreak, and by his eyes, slightly dead inside. Perhaps he was just really tired?

"Yes?"

"How can you just…. Just… GAH! You act like this is normal. Army guy, have you even been in a fight?! You aren't much older than me, and there haven't been many confrontations during our time, and considering your state side, and from our date a junior in college. You couldn't have gone anywhere significant between high school and college!"

His beautiful eyes darkened considerably. "I've seen more fighting and war than anyone you will find walking this earth. Now, we have dangerous Serbian assassins, explosive specialists, and insurgents after us. If you want to sit around talking about what I have and haven't done, fine. This place is an alright place for a showdown gunfight. But I'd rather go down fighting alongside my brothers and take more than just fifteen of these bastards down with me. So please. Pack. A Bag. Now."

His forceful words cowed her quickly as she nodded, numbly beginning to pack her clothes and get a shower bag prepared. "Hhmm… what does one wear when on the run from bad guys with guns."

"I'd suggest dark, tight fitting clothes. Maybe some dark reds and blues? You've always looked good in them."

His playful wink at the end made this all feel like some exciting adrenaline filled game. With a chuckle she began picking clothes out form his suggestion. Deciding as long as she didn't die from this she'd need to take him on another date. She'd never felt this alive before. Albeit she couldn't remember much of her life, but she was fairly confident she'd never been involved in anything like this.

A knock on the door caused them both pause.

"Keep packing. I'll check it out."

She had to suppress a shudder as she saw him head towards the door, pulling a side arm from the back of his waistband where she now saw a holster hidden.

Two gun shots went off not two minutes after he'd started towards the door.

"It's time to go now!"

He came running back in quickly after that, blood covering the front of his shirt, not his she thankfully noted. "Why in the world am I glad it's not his blood. This should be freaking me out right now. That's real blood, from what is probably a really dead guy." Shaking her head of these thoughts, she brushed them off. She didn't have time to panic or freak out. She needed to get packed. And he needed a different shirt.

"I don't have any shirts that'll fit you well. But I might have a t-shirt that's not too small for you."

"Don't worry. I've already got a bag packed with my things and some weapons for us downstairs in my car. I'll grab a shirt down there."

Quickly he took his shirt off going back to the door, shirtless and gun drawn. Piper swore she'd be damned if she'd ever seen a hotter looking man in her life. She'd be half tempted to take him right there in her room if not for the dead body she knew was somewhere in her apartment and the men trying to kill her still lurking god knows where outside.

/-/-/

They excited the stairwell at a quick walk, Jason's gun holstered again but within easy reach as it was now in her pants and his arm was wrapped around her his hand on the small of her back, where the gun now lay.

The two posing as a new couple, smiling at each other as they walked through the lobby of the building, both eyes everyone around them.

She'd been told to look for men with scars, guns, and a ring with a crest consisting of two eagles on behind a shield with wolves heads on the shields.

She spotted one as they were nearing the door. The man eyeing them as they neared them, her arm tightening from where it was wrapped around his waist.

"Don't worry. Trust me eh?" He smiled at her like nothing were wrong. And it filled her with a foreign feeling she wasn't sure she'd ever felt before, or if she had, it must have been many years ago.

"I suppose I must huh?"

With but a flicker of a glance from his eyes she released him as he launched forwards like a gunshot, fist colliding with the man's face before he could bring the gun from his coat pocked to bear upon them.

"Shall we my love?"

"To our next adventure then." She laughed, taking his hand as they excited the building, soon returning to arms wrapped around each other, Jason's hand once again in easy reach of the gun.

"The gun feels a little lower down your back…"

"Really? It must have slipped some."

Her unconvincing tone, along with the small giggle that rippled through her brought a smile to Jason's face. It apparently wasn't a total loss that she didn't remember falling from the plane and their kiss. "She'll remember. Just be patient."

His mother's voice in his head was gentle and comforting. "yes mother. Now out of my head. I need to focus here."

/-/-/

They arrived at his car without running into another enemy. Jason doing a quick check up of the car before letting her get close to it. Ensuring it hadn't been messed with before opening the door for her. "Hop on in."

"Don't you want your gun?"

"Keep it. That's my smaller one for concealed carry when I need it. I have my old military one in the back I'll grab. You may need it. Just remember. If you shoot, shoot to ensure they aren't getting back up to come after you alright? And don't worry. I know some guys, so you won't be in any trouble for shooting someone. Just make sure you're safe alright?"

Her nod of affirmation caused his heart to skip a beat as she glanced down at the gun in her hands, a thoughtful look upon her face as she did so.

/-/-/

They were on the road for almost an hour when trouble showed up. "We've got company babe."

"Babe?"

"Uh—um sorry I just sort of…"

"Don't worry about it hotstuff. I liked it. Plus, that makes this feel more like a movie. Like we're Bonnie and Clyde or something. It's pretty hot if you ask me. Let's just not die at the end, yeah?"

Wondering where this side of Piper had been hiding when together, but loving it just as much as he loved her he nodded back. "I can promise there will be no dying on our side of the team."

"Good. When we get to our next stop, remind me to kiss you. You deserve it. also are we like dating or something? Isn't that what happens in all the movies. Guy saves girls from assassins, or the government, they go on the run. Fall in love. He's rich. Then the end up on some remote paradise island after killing all the bad guys. She's mega hot and he's sex on stick and a bad ass who can use anything as a weapon?"

"That sounds about right. You're certainly mega hot."

"Fuck it." She closed the distance between them in the car, kissing him full on the mouth before laughing against his lips. I really like kissing you. Especially when going ninety down the highway with the mafia or whoever after us. Adds a little zest to life."

His laughter exploded from within as he sped up. He was totally in love with this crazy girl who was taking the craziness that was his life in stride. Seemingly unfazed by what was occurring. But then, everything she'd been through during their time as pirates was nothing compared to this. Perhaps that was bleeding through here.

Her thoughts were on a picture that had flashed through her mind while kissing him. Of a blonde hair, blue eyed man, identical to Jason, but dressed in what looked like something a pirate might wear, smiling at her from the deck of a large wooden boat.

A gun shot was the only clue they got that their pursuers had finally caught up to them.

"When I tell you too. Shoot right across in front of me will you? Just, don't hit me please. Driving while shot sucks."

"No problem babe. I'm sure I can handle that. Also, you never answered. Are we dating now?"

A chuckle escaped his lips again. "If you're willing to date someone like me with guys gunning for him every now and then. Than yes. I would love to."

"Good. Now when do I shoot?"

"Hold on," Slamming on the breaks their pursuers flew past them, bullets pattering against the side of the car.

"Bullet proof car?"

"Well, I've pissed off lots of people. And as you've said I'm rich, so I thought why not. All my stuff is bullet proof if I can make it that way. This car's probably safer than the president's. Now get ready to shoot. I'll roll the window down, try leaning out the car and shooting out their back tire when I tell you too."

He sped up, their souped up Corvette Grand Sport. A car that was technically not supposed to be out till 2016, but when you'd saved the owner of Chevrolet during a bodyguard mission, you tended to get rewards and perks. Once they'd caught up, more bullets pattering against the car and scratching his paint job he rolled down the window. His arm exiting the window, .40 cal in hand as he fired off two shots. One careening into their side mirror, the other into the back gunmen's head. "Now!"

She leaned out in the moment of silence the enemy moved their fallen comrade and got a second gunmen ready to exit the car. They weren't quick enough as she aimed and pulled the trigger, screaming as the gun kicked in her hands, almost hitting Jason, but somehow managing to hit the back tire and sending their enemies truck careening off the side of the road.

"Time to put some distance between us. We've got another six hours on the road. I'd take a nap if I were you."

"I think I'll do just that. Shooting a gun takes a lot out of you…" She was looking warily at the gun in her hands when he glanced over, a smile on his face. "Wake me up if you need anything, or get too tired. I'd hate to die from a car crash when I've had people shooting at me all day.

"As you wish."

/-/-/

As she lay there, eyes closed so Jason wouldn't worry, her mind wandered.

"Why am I so comfortable right now? I should be freaking out?"

She was worried about her mental health since she was taking this all so easily, and if anything joining in and having fun doing so. For some reason, one that she'd probably never be able to explain, she felt thoroughly at ease and comfortable. As if she'd been doing things like this for years. Fighting people and running around the country with Jason, and without him. It was unsettling. Though she found herself not caring. She was having too much fun. And compared to her boring life since waking up in a hospital with no memories of who she was or what she'd done. Then working in a clothing store and attending school, this was far more exciting.

As she drifted off to sleep she'd dream of being a pirate on the open sea and attacking enemies of her mother…

/-/-/

"Her Percy. Yeah she's sleeping, it's definitely them. The members have the ring and all. Some of the more fanatical ones have it tattooed on them. The most stereotypical group of bad buys I've ever seen."

"Yeah. That sounds about right. I thought we'd wiped all these guys off the face of the planet. We'll need to be careful. Nico is still having trouble with Reyna. Though she's remembered some things he thinks, she just hasn't said so. He'd trying to get her to run with him for her protection. It'll probably not happen till their first attack on them. Then she'll probably be on her way. So Piper is enjoying this thrilling adventure then?"

"Yeah. She is. It's rather surprising, but much more like she used to be on the ship. It's a breath of fresh air honestly. Though she hasn't remembered yet, I think it's coming back in little snippets. She'll freeze up every now and again for a moment, her eyes looking at me but not seeing me. She'll remember soon enough I hope. But until then I'm having a fun time. She's declared us dating as all the on the run couples in movies do. So there is that progress made."

"Ha ha. Good. Good. Yeah Kaia is jumping with joy at the prospect of traveling. She's really excited to meet her uncles in person. She hasn't really met Nico. He just comes in and leaves, usually when she's asleep. She thinks this is all some game Annabeth and I are playing. But Annabeth has—"

In the background deep laughter echoed around the room. "Oh Percy Jackson… You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into now!"

"Percy! Percy what's happening?!"

"Today I will show you what true power it, and how it feels to have something you love torn from you!"

Percy wasn't answering, and from the noises on the other side wouldn't be able to. He must have dropped the phone.

The sound of guns going off sounded on the other side of the line, followed swiftly by two screams. One of a small child, frightened beyond anything she'd ever experienced, the other of a woman who'd just seen the man she loved shot.

"Percy!"

The line went dead…

A second later his phone was ringing, Percy was apparently calling him back.

"Percy! What the he—"

"Jason! Stop this is Annabeth. Some god has taken Percy. I've no clue who they are. But I've got to take care of Kaia, she's in shock right now, and I'm not much better… Perc- Damnit. Just get to the place as soon as you can. He promised me he'd come back. I trust him. Don't worry about it. He's Percy. He's been through worse…"

She sounded more like she was trying to convince herself and not him. Sniffles echoed across the phone from her side. "He'll be back. He's Percy, and if anyone can get themselves in and out of bad situations, its him. Just take care of Kaia and yourself, he'd kill himself if something were to happen to you two."

"He would wouldn't he? Right after eradicating everyone involved with it. Drive safely would you? Give Piper a hug for me, though she won't know who it's from for a little bit longer."

"See you Annabeth."

Hanging up the phone he turned to the sleeping girl beside him. His hand moving of its own accord to land on her leg, resting there for comfort as he drove. His mind torn between thoughts of where Percy was and who had taken him, along with Piper and when she'd finally remember.

/-/-/

When she woke up they were still driving down on some highway, streaming past cars as they went.

"Sleep good?"

"Surprisingly enough yes. These seats are actually fairly comfortable."

"Those were expensive seats, so I'd hope so."

"So you were in the Army eh?"

"Well, sort of. That's just the easiest way to explain it. Honestly I was in a special task force made up of Navy, Army, Air force, and even some Civilian people. It was the best of the best, didn't matter where you were from. We were active in several different wars and skirmishes."

"But you aren't old enough to be involved in the Bosnian war."

"Let's just, say I was alright? It'd be even longer to explain everything. So let's just say I got involved in a second smaller war recently with some disgruntled Serbians. We thought we'd killed them all. Apparently not.

"Alright… What was your job?"

"I was the main marksman of the group. Best aim between my brothers and I. Though Nico wasn't too far behind me."

"What were Nico and Percy then."

"Percy was the leader of the group, as well as our number one combat experts. No one could take him one on one. Only Nico and I could team up and beat him easily together. Nico was both our medic and explosives expert. It was rather ironic actually. We called him Dr. Boom as a joke whenever he was working on someone, or setting up explosives."

"A sniper hhmm? What is the greatest shot you've taken?"

"Going after you."

It was so casual she paused for a second. Before erupting into a smile and punching his arm. "That's not what I was talking about! Though that was incredibly cheesy and romantic for our, fourth date now? First was the restaurant and play, then we did the movie and ice cream. Third would have been the whole falling out of a rigged plane. So this is number four right?"

"I suppose so. My best shot? 2.5 kilometers. Shot a small time dictator who was attempting to start some fighting across Europe."

"Europe? How were you able to be active there?"

"Once again, we were a highly combat capable group. We were often loaned to different countries, working with their own similar groups to our own." He left out the fact that all these groups were blessed and claimed by various gods and such. Some even outside of the Greek pantheon. They'd started running into Egyptian, Norse, Hindu, Chinese and other various demigods and such around the 1800's.

Though each was done in a different way. Such as Egyptian wasn't children or blessed, but they were born with magic and chose to follow after different gods to specialize their magic that direction. Their group had been made up of mostly demigods, but there had been two Egyptian magicians, one Norse demolitions expert who was their main explosives expert, Nico second, and one claimed by the Chinese side. Au Kuong if he wasn't mistaken.

"Has anyone else caught up with us?"

"One did twenty minutes or so after you fell asleep. But their driver wasn't that great, was able to get him to crash into a median divider before any shooting really started."

"No one else has caught up?"

"We've been traveling no slower than eighty except a few places that traffic slowed us down."

"No cops."

"One tried to pull out and chase me. But he was too slow, and this car has a radio jammer that gave us enough time to escape anyone else who might have cut us off up ahead."

"A radio jammer? Isn't that a bit much there Mr. Bond?"

"I'd started to wonder if it was or not. But considering that I've used it today, no."

"Fine. What other gizmos and do-dads are on this baby?" She began looking for the big red button to hit that would eject her from the car. "Got a button for ejection on here?"

"Very funny. This car is more for defense and luxury than offense. Safety and all that. Bullet proof casing around the car, bullet and shatter proof glass, fastest set up under the hood that money could buy. Heated and cooled leather seats, ten grand sound system, phone link and Bluetooth. Hhmmm, it has a small weapons stash hidden in the trunk underneath the bass subs."

"So fancy smancy. Should I expect a car like this someday?"

His sidelong glance at her elicited butterfly's in her stomach as he chuckled. "You can have whatever sort of car you want."

"Hmmm. Bright pink with Blue highlights. White leather interior, and machine guns in the front."

"I don't even know if that's a thing for civilian cars." His laughter was infectious as their hands met in the middle of the car. Ending up resting on her leg, hands intertwined.

"Surely you can pull some strings mister?"

"I probably could I suppose. The question is should I set you upon the roads with a weaponized car?"

"I'd probably shoot up anyone that cut me off. So maybe not."

Once again laughter erupted from them as they drove on down the road.

/-/-/

As she threw her bags down on the bed she looked around. "How many bedrooms are there?"

"Three. This was meant as a safe house for just my brothers and me. But the living room as a large corner couch and a fireplace. So I'll sleep there. You can have my bed."

"I don't think so. We're dating now remember? So it's totally ok for use to share a bed. Besides I decidedly like the idea of sharing a bed with you. My strong protector and all that."

"I'm the reason you even need a protector, so that logic is slightly flawed."

Stepping closer and backing him up against a wall, she batted her eyelashes at him. "eh, you say I put you in danger, I say you've made my life much more exciting and fun. Dangerous and Sexy. I could on…" She trailed off as she got closer and closer to kissing him, one hand caressing his face as he stared into her eyes and gulped.

"You can probably stop… listing things, not uh… not the um…." He closed the small gap and kissed her with all he had.

At this searing kiss her mind suddenly opened, thoughts and memories that at first she didn't recognize began flooding her mind.

She pulled away from him, collapsing onto the couch as he worriedly stepped forward, looking through the windows as if expecting to see a bullet hole on a window.

"Piper are you alright?"

"I'm not sure Jason. Do you have a good reason for once again not telling me things to get my memory back faster?"

The glare she gave him was laced with eyes that remembered, eyes filled with love and passion. Eyes that he'd been searching for, for century's.

"um… the gods told me I had to…"

"And since when do we listen to the gods in matters concerning each other? If I wasn't so in need of being with you, and hadn't missed four hundred years of time together with you, you'd be on the couch. As it is. If you don't take my clothes off and take me now, you'll be on the couch for a century."

Like that was the signal they'd both been waiting for the moved forward like lightning, lips crashing against the other as they struggled to get to his bedroom.

/-/-/

She woke up to Jason crawling back into bed at seven am, with two plates of eggs and bacon in his hands as he did so.

"Was there a thunder storm last night?"

A blushing Jason attempted an answer. "Well… you see that… um…. Well…"

"I bet Annabeth didn't get a thunder storm on her first day back."

"You actually got a thunderstorm and tornado. And Annabeth got a Hurricane traveling along the cost of Cali. In a completely off time to have one. The weather authorities are still trying to figure it out. It took both Poseidon and Amphitrite to keep it from actually hitting the coast. Luckily we're out here in the middle of nowhere so mine didn't need much monitoring by my parents."

"We girls are hot stuff aren't we? We make our boyfriends bring the storm down as we go down."

Her laughter was explosive as Jason just attempted to ignore her bad joke, this only causing her laughter to grow even louder.

"I wonder what will happen with Nico?"

"More than likely, a new rain forest will suddenly appear. That'll be a pain to explain. Either that or everyone' going to see their twenty-year dead grandmother's walking around town and visiting them for a while."

"That would be terrifying."

"Yeah, good luck to the mist on hiding either of those from the masses."

"I can't believe I almost remembered twice and you didn't even push to force it."

"Well, we can't all rip our shirts off like Percy and get people to just remember."

"It would have been a start…"

Her mumbling caused a small chuckle to emanate from Jason as he set his plate on the side of the bed. "Indeed. Maybe it would have. I'll have to suggest that to Nico. Though knowing him and Reyna they've probably already both seen the other shirtless and she still hasn't connected the dots."

"Enough talk about others taking their clothes off. I want ours off."

"Your wish is my command."

"That's more like it."

They were both relaxing in the hot tub at the back of the cabin they were waiting at in some forested area of California. Apparently right outside of a state reservation. They'd received permission to build a cabin near there. They were among the few who knew it's actual location.

"So what is our game plan. What are we going to be doing?"

"Well, Percy returned from wherever he was taken. He didn't say much, just that he'd talk to us later and knew what we have to do. He'll be here with Annabeth and Kaia in two days' time. Nico should be arriving the day after them, with Reyna. From there we'll be contacting all the old team members from our group and making sure they are safe and if any of them wish to join us to finish off this fight for good. Till anyone else arrives, it's just alone time for us. To do what we want, when we want."

"Good. I like the sound of that immensely." She slid closer to him in the hot tub, resting her head on his chest as they sat there. Enjoying the silence of the area. Both happy and disappointed that no one was shooting at them anymore. She had to say, it was quiet a rush to be in a firefight. Especially after sword fighting and such no longer really existing in this time period. She was thankful for all the knowledge Hera had left in her head of the current times.

They'd begin training with the various weapons making sure she was still prepared for a fight. With either monster or man.

As he exited the shower after the hot tub he heard music pouring through the house. "Is that a waltz I hear?"

When he entered the room he found her waiting for him, dressed in her blue dress from that night when she'd first danced with him.

"I'm only dressed in boxers you know."

"All the better. We can dance, and then do other things." Her mischievous tone left nothing to wonder about what they would be doing.

Laughing he stepped forward and they began to dance around the room.

"Where did you find that dress anyways?"

"It was waiting for me on my bed when I left the shower. Almost like someone sent it to me."

"I wonder who?"

"I wonder who indeed?"

They flowed around the room. Their eyes never left the other as they moved.

She was woken early that morning as Jason crawled out of bed. "Where you are going babe?"

"I'm going for my morning run, I skipped it yesterday. I'd better not today. You want to join me?"

"I probably should shouldn't I? I normally went for a run in the afternoons. But I bet a morning run will feel good. Especially running with you."

"Good. After that we'll do some target practice with a few different guns. You need to familiarize yourself with this centuries weapons. Especially with people after us. Then we'll finish by seeing if you're rusty with the sword and dagger."

"Can I use any means necessary to win?"

"Not if it involves your body, that's cheating."

"You're no fun."

"No. I just want to actually get through training. The right sort of training." He quickly corrected himself before she could, already catching her preparing to deliver another terrible joke about how it was training.

Their run consisted of two miles through the forest. The stopped at a Cliffside view a mile in to take a moment and grab a drink from their bottles of water before continuing on. Finally arriving back at the cabin after a five mile run.

"I don't think I've ran that far since I was at camp…"

"I try and run six a day. You need to run more."

"Listen here superman. We can't all be like you." She gasped out between breaths.

"Well they should certainly try. I'd like to think I'm a pretty nice guy."

"Just go grab the guns so I can shoot something."

His voice trailed off from within the cabin after a few minutes of him going in. "We'll mostly use that pistol I gave you, along with this M4 carbine. If this is too much I'll go look for a smaller rifle."

"That'll be just fine. Let's get going. So am I going to shoot cans and suddenly get good like in the movies?"

"You are rather fascinated with movies aren't you?"

"What can I saw. I love them. In another life maybe I'd have been an actress."

"Maybe, but as for today, we have target's here. I'll be stapling them to some trees down behind the house and away from the road. Then we'll go from there. Maybe if you do good we can move on to some cans."

"Fine. Set them up the commander and give me a shot at 'em."

"Your and Percy's love of puns will be the death of me."

"Maybe, but it'll be a good death. Filled with honor and all that."

"Just shoot the target would you beauty queen?"

"Fine, any last minute pointers?"

Coming up behind her his arms came up around her as he covered her hands over the gun.

"Aim down the sights, line up the front one in the middle of the back two. Deep breath, now exhale slowly, there you go. Slow. Then near the end, release the trigger slowly as well."

The gun went off, staying firmly in their combined hands as she aimed down the sights again. "Now try and shoot more than one shot while exhaling. Aim for the chest, unless they're wearing a vest. Then go for the face. Ready? Deep breath… Now exhale."

The gun went off four times this time, in rapid succession, just a little too close together so the bullets were a little higher with each shot, but not so much as they wouldn't certainly put a man out of commission.

"Let's go take a look at those groupings, then I'll let you shoot by yourself with me just watching. That way I can give you some good pointers, and ensure you aren't blinking when pulling the trigger, nor pulling the tip of the gun up when you squeeze the trigger because you're jerking."

"So when are you going to tell me about everything I've missed?"

"Wasn't most of that left in your memories?"

"Yes. But I'd still like to hear what you have to say about it. Your side of the story…" His back to her he looked at her groupings. Seeing that two of the four shots would have killed. The second would have severely injured. "… your pain."

She could see him tense, his shoulders bulging, his head twitching. "I'd rather not talk about it."

"Well I do. I've missed hundreds of years of your life. And if the memories I've been given tell me anything, it's that you and the others weren't completely sane for all of them."

"You don't know what it was like. I don't want to revisit those days without you. Yes. We did some unspeakable things. But we've done our best to fix that."

"How do you fix the trail of blood you've left behind you. Has there been a war since we sailed that you three weren't intrinsically involved in. Killing anyone who you were given permission to. Man or monster it didn't matter at times Jason. You killed all of them. You almost destroyed entire governments alone. Some even right after we left."

"They didn't deserve to live."

"Is that what you three told yourselves?"

"You weren't the only ones we lost."

"Of course not. The others weren't immortal like you three. They would all grow old and die."

His dry laughter caused her pause. Checking her memories to see if that was right. "Leo Valdez. Arrested by the British government and hung for crimes against the throne. We never saw the body, nor got a chance to save him. They captured and hung him within the same hour. Or so we were told. We slaughtered the whole government building looking for him. Not a trace."

"What? That's not—"

"Connor and Travis Stoll. Sentenced to life in un-named mines for life in Brazil. Silena, Katie, Beckendorf, Naveen and Ariella French execution squad while on a special mission for us. Should I go on?"

Her silence was palpable as he turned to look at her, tears burning a trail down his face as rage boiled within him. "You want to know what happened? We killed. We did what we were raised to do and we killed. Our blades drank deeply of our enemy's blood. Monsters fell, governments cowered and apologized. Sending gold as if that could pay for our crew's life. This all happened within years of losing you. We went on a rampage, destroying monsters for years after that. Focusing on that so we wouldn't slaughter man. I still have nightmares about that time. Percy was the worst out of all of us. His loyalty drove him over the edge more often than our own. But ours was no less crazy, no less demanding. If you really want to hear about those times, of what I did I'll tell you. But know that it'll be just as painful as going through them again for me. I remember every person I drove my sword through during that time."

She wrapped him up in a hug, pulling his head down to rest on her shoulder, "How about some tea and you tell me of some of your more recent wars. They aren't so bad right?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I can do that."

So they sat on the porch. Shooting practice forgotten as he told her stories from the time she slept. He recounted tails off all the wars he'd been in. What mortals had thought them about, and the reality of why they were fought. Whenever he reached something he didn't seem to want to discuss, or talk about she'd just squeeze his hand and smile up at him and he'd move on to a different story and a different time. By midnight her head was in his lap as he lazily trailed his hands through her hair, talking about the most recent years, of his degree's he'd gotten through the years and how they cover up how old they actually are when applying for new degrees. How he and his brothers had become so wealthy.

His stories went on till the moon was high in the sky and the temperature dropped, leaving them cuddled close together with a blanket draped over them. She fell asleep to his deep voice, leaving him smiling as he picked her up bridal style and carried her into the cabin. Laying her in their bed as he went to take a shower and was away centuries of memories.
