Guest: Sorry for not replying to your review before, it wasn't showing for me for some reason. I can't say too much because of spoilers, but, I will say that it would make Gaea that much more angry about the Kronos situation- after all her son was so determined to marry Percy, and then she killed him. That wouldn't go over well with her.
The Official Clarisse: I admit I do like the magnetic sally thing lol. I hope you enjoy waiting for Thalia though, *cue evil laughter*
Weirdhead: they will gradually learn about Percy, and honestly I don't think they're facially that similar, Jason takes more after his mom I believe.
Undeath9087: It had to be done though. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Bati: Your votes been counted.
Guest: Your vote is counted, and I don't know yet, I'm not writing it quite yet.
MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior: It's just Leo's phone, Hera's been up to her tricks. As for your question, well, there's two whole chapters more without Thalia and then after that we see her, and you'll understand why when I publish the next chapter.

The flight back to camp wasn't as peaceful as Leo might have liked- the storm spirits tried to get them maybe half way there, lightning striking one of the wheels- and Leo did keep wondering about lightning- his eyes constantly straying to Jason- as crazy as it seemed, and Kayla had been forced to get the Pesgasi to go faster- that had made Piper almost puke- Leo was okay, he was used to things like that, but even Jason looked somewhat green- and then when they arrived at camp they'd lost control of the chariot and Leo managed to grab onto Piper and Jason as they crashed into the lake- thankfully the Naiads helped him haul them both out of the water and onto the shore, at which point Leo let go of them both and hauled himself to his feet- you didn't last long with a sister like Percy not being able to respond quickly in situations like that, and he let out a cough, grimacing as he looked around, spotting Kayla in the lake calming the pegasi as she cut the harnesses away from them- and then he focused on Piper and Jason again. Annabeth was with them, helping to their feet as a crowd of campers bustled around them, and then Leo's gaze focused on a familiar figure pushing her way through the crowds an angry look on her face and he felt himself lighting up even with how angry she looked.

"Cal!"

"Leonidas Valdez! What in Hades name did you do?"

"Who, me?" Leo faked innocent, a grin playing across his lips as Calypso stopped a short distance from him- and he heard several of the other campers snickering- Calypso's temper was well known already, as was the fact that she was completely soft for Leo most of the time. "It's not my fault we crashed-"

"It better not be." that came from Will, "Annabeth what the fuck? I told you you could borrow the chariot, not destroy it."

"Will, I'm sorry," Annabeth sighed. "I'll get it fixed, I promise. "

"You better."

"Leo-" and Leo focused on Calypso again, who had a raised eyebrow, "You disappeared into thin air- you had better have a good
explanation for this."

"I do this time. It was Hera." Leo pulled a face and shook his head, "She's been keeping me there, blocking my communications.

Then today we got attacked, Annabeth showed up after I." he pressed a hand to his chest dramatically, "Saved the day, like a hero-"

"Hm." and then Calypso was suddenly surging forward and Leo met her half way, wrapping his arms around her and picking her up, spinning her as he did and she pressed her lips to his- always a feeling he loved.

When he set her down again she draped her arms over his shoulders, her cheeks flushed. "I missed you, you idiot."

"I missed you too sunshine."

"Do you know why Queen Hera kidnapped you?"

"I think so." Leo nodded towards Piper and Jason, who at this point were wrapped in blankets. "Meet Piper and Jason-"

"They're important." Annabeth announced, "We just don't fully know why yet."

"Have they been claimed?" that was another familiar voice, and Drew pushed her way through the crowds, flipping her dark ringlets
over her shoulder and eyeing the two newcomers suspiciously, lip curling as she looked them up and down.

"Not yet."

"Well they better be useful." Drew's voice was like acid, "If Hera thinks she can kidnap one of ours for some losers-"

"We've literally just got here." Piper's eyes narrowed at Drew, "We don't know what's going on here."

"No kidding," Jason said. "How about some answers before you start judging us—like, what is this place, why are we here, how long do we have to stay?"

And Drew took them in, eyes flicking up and down both of them, "We don't even want you here how about-"

"Drew!" Silena pushed past Will to grab her sisters arm, "I know you're still mourning but we don't treat other demigods like that!"

"Oh come on. Everyone else is thinking it." Drew ripped her arm free, reaching up to curl her fingers around a gold chain necklace- it had a beautifully polished piece of rose quartz in the shape of a heart strung on it. Leo happened to know for a fact that Percy had given it to her to replace the necklace that the enemy had used to get information, it hadn't been long before she'd died that Percy had done that and Drew clung to it when she was upset or angry. And he knew that as much as Drew had actually softened slightly towards her siblings and the Jacksons- since she knew it would have hurt Percy to think of them being hurt, Percy was always going to be the person who Drew had trusted and actually cared about most, and now she was gone and Drew could be spiteful when she wanted to be. "We want Percy back. And we're never going to get her. We don't want some newbie losers- this is some fucked up game Hera's playing taking you away like that Leo, just to pick up a couple of- like she's trying to replace-"

"Drew-"

"Oi." Leo pulled away from Calypso, squeezing her hand gently before he moved to stand between Drew and Piper and Jason, "Queen D, how about you tone down the bitchiness a bit."

"Oh come on Leo you know they're like some poor consolation pr-"

"They're not at fault." he cut her off, "They're victims in all this it's not like they asked to be used as pawns by Hera. I love Percy just as much as you do but she'd be calling you out if she was here right now and you know it."

"Leo's right." Annabeth's voice was quiet, "None of us like this but you can't take it out on them Drew."

"Wait." Piper's voice was horrified, "Did you just- Leo didn't you say- oh you have to be kidding me."

And Leo winced, "Oh great- good job Drew, yes Pipes this is Drew Tanaka, she's one of my sisters friends and also she'll probably be the one who has to teach you how to use your charmspeak-"

"What?" Drew's eyes widened, "Wait-"

"Oh!" Silena's eyes widened and she pulled away from Drew to dart over to Piper, taking her hands, "Does that mean what I think it means?"

"Silena. Meet Piper, my friend, and I'm pretty sure she's a daughter of Aphrodite, we'll see if your mom claims her tonight-"

"Hi." Silena's smile was warm, and Piper's angry expression faded very slightly.

"Uh... hi-"

"Ignore Drew- she's... just-"

"A bitch-" that came from Lou Ellen, in the crowd of curious demigods and there was a round of snickering, which made Drew roll her eyes and flip up her finger in the direction of the voice, not even looking back.

"At least I don't look like an angry raccoon Blackstone."

"Screw you too Regina George."

"You say that like it's an insult-"

"Drew." Silena's voice had a warning tone in it, "Cabin, now. I want a word with you."

"Bitch please you're not the boss of me-"

"Drew Percy would be pissed at you if she could hear you right now-"

"Well she can't because she's fucking dead!" Drew spat the words, "I can't believe you'd even consider- ugh!" she scowled and whirled around, storming off in a fit of fury that made Silena cringe.

"Well, let's hope no one runs onto her or we'll have another streaking incident-"

Piper's mouth dropped open, "Is she really my sister-"

"Hey-" Silena gave a gentle smile, "She's not that bad really- she's just a bit angry at everyone and everything at the moment- I mean she's bitchy but she has her reasons. Come on- Leo, Annabeth is it okay if I give Piper a tour?"

"Of course." Annabeth looked slightly relieved, "That would be pretty helpful actually. Is that okay with you Piper?"

"I-" Piper hesitated, her gaze flicking to Leo, who gave her a reassuring smile.

"Silena's fine Pipes, she'll show you around and get you settled in."

"After the tour I can bring you back to Leo again if you'd like."

"Yeah." Piper looked somewhat relieved, "Sorry I just-"

"It's fine." Silena laughed softly, "All of this is new to you and Leo's the one person here you know, of course you're going to want to see him again after the tour."

"It's because I'm so awesome." Leo winked dramatically, "I'm irresistible right Cal?" he looked at Calypso, who looked amused, raising an eyebrow as she folded her arms across her chest and tilted her head, her loose caramel hair tumbling over her shoulder.

"You are cute- but I wouldn't say you're irresistible-"

"You wound me!" he clutched at his chest dramatically, "Such a betrayal- from my very own girlfriend-"

"So he wasn't just pretending to be ridiculous?" Piper turned her head to look at Calypso, "He really is just like that huh?"

"Unfortunately yes." Calypso let out a long suffering sigh, "You and I should talk later- I want to know what he's been up to while we've been apart-"

"Oh no- nope." Leo flailed, "I do not need my girlfriend and my new BFF becoming buddies-"

"Later." Calypso gave a small nod, "Though I should go and find Miranda now- I told her I'd help her with a stubborn patch of her roof garden that doesn't want to bloom." she moved to Leo's side, pressing her lips to his cheek, "I will see you later too-" she gave him a smile, warm and filled with promise and he gave a goofy smile back as he watched her leave before he focused on the others again as Annabeth's lips twitched.

"Are you done now flameo?"

"Flameo?" Piper let out a laugh. "I like that." she hesitated before taking a deep breath, "I'll see you after my tour then I guess." her eyes flicked to Jason, a lost expression on her face, "I- and you too I guess."

"Right." Jason had been silent, stood looking awkward and uncomfortable with the situation, "I uh... am sorry. For- whatever-"

"I know." Piper nodded, "Not your fault I guess. I'll be fine." there was a hurt look on her face despite her words and Silena's eyes narrowed as she pulled Piper into her side and piloted the girl away, and as the rest of the crowds started to disperse Leo and Annabeth both focused on Jason who shifted nervously.

"Guess it's my turn now huh?"

"That about sums it up." Annabeth crossed her arms over her chest, looking Jason up and down, and Leo could fully understand why Jason looked like he wanted to curl up into a ball and hide- the daughter of Athena had a way of looking at you that made you feel like she could take you apart and see what made you tick without even touching you.

After a moment she lunged, grabbing his right arm before he could move away, yanking it close so she could examine it, her eyes
narrowing- and Leo saw what she'd spotted right away.

Jason had taken off his windbreaker after his dip in the lake, leaving his arms bare, and on the inside of his right forearm was a tattoo, it was darkly etched, impossible to miss: a dozen straight lines like a bar code, and over that an eagle with the letters SPQR.
Leo felt his stomach twisting. An eagle.

He knew which gods sacred animal was an eagle. "Oh gods-"

"What is it Leo?" Annabeth's head snapped around to look at him, "Have you seen anything like this before? I know I haven't."

"Uh- no but-"

"Where did you get it?" Annabeth focused on Jason again, and Jason shook his head.

"I'm getting really tired of saying this, but I don't know. "

"They look burned into your skin,"

"They were," Jason said. Then he winced as if his head was aching. "I mean … I think so. I don't remember. "

"Hmmm." Annabeth looked annoyed before she glanced at Leo, "Why did you react like that then Leo, if you didn't recognise it?"

"Because." Leo shifted nervously, "I think I know who his godly parent is?"

"You do?" Annabeth raised an eyebrow, "Care to fill us in?"

"You know who my parent is?" Jason's voice was bewildered. "How could you know who my parent is when I don't even know?"

"Uh- how about we talk to Chiron first, I might be wrong." Leo hoped he was wrong- because how the fuck had a big three kid stayed hidden away for so long? It didn't make any sense. Jason was the same age as him roughly, and he knew that Percy, Thalia and Nico had been dealing with monster attacks from ten at the oldest- Percy had been like seven during her first real attack. No way would a son of Zeus have stayed undetected for so long.

"Right." Annabeth eyed Leo with a suspicious look, "I guess we take him to Chiron then."
