With the weaver gone things got back to normal rather quickly. It helped that everyone who wasn't in Olympus couldn't remember the monster even existed. As for the gods, they were quite outraged that another member of a separate pantheon had the balls to violate them to such a degree. Aphrodite was particularly insulted about being used to make such a monster. So after a brief celebration thanking the heroes for saving the day they ushered the demigods out the door so they could return to Camp Half blood by themselves. It made for an awkward elevator ride as the five of them were left without any clothes. On the ground floor Alex used her shape shifting to steal some outfits from a nearby store so they could get dressed and hail a cab without the embarrassment of walking nude through New York.

Everyone was quiet as they crossed over half blood hill and returned home. Percy was there to greet them at the cabins, running forward to embrace his girlfriend asking if she was okay. She told him she wasn't, taking him inside the Poseidon cabin so they could talk. Piper quickly did the rounds to make sure everyone else was alright, checking for any lingering effects from the weaver's poison. But aside from a healthier labido the rest of the camp was blissfully unaware of the trauma they'd suffered.

A few hours later after changing back into the clothes they arrived in, the three Norse heroes were making their way back up the hill when Piper caught up to them, once more wearing her orange camp half-blood T-shirt. "Are you leaving already?" She asked them.

"Yeah" Sam explained. "I need to report back to Odin and tell him everything that happened with my dad. With luck you shouldn't need to hear from us again."

"Well, that'd be a shame" she said sadly. "I would've hoped you'd stay for dinner at least."

"I think we all got past that part of the relationship, don't you?" Alex chuckled as Sam and Magnus blushed uncomfortably. The demigod smirked, winking at the brunette. "But if you're ever in Boston, try and look us up."

"I will" she smiled, waving the three of them off as they left to return back home. She turned on her heel thinking about how, as horrible as being manipulated by the weaver was, having sex with them was quite enjoyable. Even her lesbian sessions with Annabeth were steamy hot, making her wonder why she never considered exploring those avenues before. Speaking of which, she reminded herself she would have to call Jason later to tell him about what happened.

She walked back to the cabins and found Annabeth carrying her stuff back into the Athena cabin. She ran over to knock politely on the door. "Are you okay?" She asked her, watching her slump down onto one of the beds.

"I'm getting there" she replied glumly.

Her expression got worried as she stepped inside the cabin. "So you're moving back here? Does that mean you and Percy have broken up? Please tell me you guys haven't broken up!"

"We haven't" Annabeth assured her. "But we had a long talk. The things the weaver made me do… a part of me enjoyed it. I'm horrified that I cheated on Percy but at the same time…" she couldn't quite finish the thought, instead punching the nearest pillow angrily. Piper could sense all the emotions her friend was feeling and unsure how to cope with. Annabeth never was one for expressing herself. "How come you and Jason can stay true to each other while I end up sleeping around like a slut?"

"You're joking right?" Piper laughed, glancing around the empty cabin. "Annie, I'm the daughter of a sex goddess. Don't tell anyone this, but on the same night you and me had that lesbian marathon I got blackmailed into shagging the Stroll Brothers. Which by the way was very disappointing." Annabeth looked up at her in shock and disbelief as Piper sat next to her. "Me and Jason agreed after the giant war it was safer to keep our relationship none exclusive, just in case. So yes, I guess I'm a slut too. But at least you have the excuse of being possessed by a Norse super weapon."

"I guess" she sighed, not sounding convinced.

"So how does Percy feel about the move?"

"He said he'd support me whatever."

"What about your PTSD?"

"That was only ever an excuse. I can manage it here as well as anywhere. But I just decided me and Percy just needed to reset. It's not a break, just not spending as much time together as before. I just… I've had enough sex for a long while."

Piper nodded, telling her "I'm here if you want to talk." Annabeth appreciated it. "Can I just say for the record" Piper added cautiously as she stood back up to leave, "you were by far the best fuck I got all week." She left before she could receive the blondes glare.

It would be a week before Annabeth and Percy would spend the night together. She was reluctant to trust herself in the same bedroom as her boyfriend and it took a lot of convincing. Eventually he was able to wear her down, as long as she made him agree it would not be a night of passion or sex. He was rather disgruntled but he would be happen just to have her in his arms again. But there was one more to night that he hoped to accomplish.

They had to clear it with Chiron, but he let them take one of the bed rooms in the big house that night. Annabeth almost backed out on the way to the front door where Percy was waiting. They'd been awkward around each other for the last week. Not just them, Annabeth had been avoiding Piper too, along with everyone else she'd slept with under the weavers influence. They might not remember it, but she did. It was mortifying. But she knew she couldn't put tonight off forever. And Percy had promised it would just be a quiet night, without sex.

Percy met her at the door and led her upstairs, patiently waiting for her to open the door to the bedroom. "I don't know" she said hesitating. "I don't think I'm ready to do this."

"It's okay" he shushed her patiently. "Why don't you start by opening the door." She took a slow breath, reluctantly reaching out to grasp the handle. But as she began to push inwards Percy quickly asked her "try not to be mad."

Paused concerned about what he meant, but he gently pushed the door inwards so the bedroom was revealed to her. Inside she was shocked to find Piper sitting on the bed in her pyjamas looking sheepishly back.

Annabeth started to freak out as she turned back to Percy? "What is this?"

"Don't be mad" Piper said calmly, rushing over to take her hand. "It was Percy's idea. He knew you were still avoiding me all week. He wanted to try and fix things between us while help you come to terms with what happened."

"I don't understand?" Annabeth said looking at them both.

"You told me the worst part about what that monster did to you was making you cheat on me" Percy explained. "Particularly with Piper, you're best friend. And you told me you were worried you might want to do it again." Annabeth turned bright red as she looked at Piper, who hadn't know about that fact until Percy confessed it to her earlier that day. It explained a lot. Percy took her shoulders and turned her around to face him. "I told you I didn't mind. As long as we're together I would do anything to make you happy. And I know you miss Piper, so I wanted to prove this is okay."

"Are you suggesting we all should…?" Annabeth asked red faced.

"Oh, no" he quickly replied. "I mean, if you want a threesome, I guess we could talk about it. But for tonight, I suggested we could all just sleep in the same bed and prove to you it wouldn't be weird."

"It wouldn't be weird" Piper agreed. "Just think of it like a slumber party. I do miss you Annie. I want us to be friends again."

Annabeth looked back at her with an aching heart. "I miss you too Pipes." She looked at the bed and then at her pyjamas. "Just sleeping? No sex?"

"As promised" Percy reiterated.

She thought about it carefully, still awkward. But if they thought it might help her get over her overwhelming guilt about what she'd done then she had to at least try. So she nodded, taking her stuff to a corner to get changed. Piper smiled optimistically at Percy as they too got ready for bed.

Moments later the three of them were crawling under the bedsheets laying side by side staring at the ceiling, all in their pajamas, Annabeth cuddled between Percy and Piper. She was rather nervous laying between her boyfriend and her best friend, but they were patient with her as she got comfortable. Percy asked if he could put his arms around her and she reluctantly agreed, letting him hold her around the waist as he snuggled against neck. Piper rolled onto her side so she could look at Annabeth, watching her expression slowly drift back to an image of content. Annabeth missed having Percy with her, and now she felt safe.

Her eyes opened to find Piper smiling softly back at her. "This was really your idea wasn't it?" She asked.

Piper chuckled. "What gave it away?"

"Percy Jackson suggesting we all sleep together?"

"I could happen" she said.

The girls chuckled silently as Percy started to gently snore behind her. Annabeth rested her arm under her head and smiled. "Thanks. I don't know if I can get over what I did…"

"Then don't" Piper suggested. "Own it. You're a hot, sexy young woman who could have any demigod or god she wanted. And you have the memories to prove it. Now you get to decide who you sleep with, even if it's just the one guy." She leant forward and kissed Annabeth on the forehead, bidding her good night as she settled against the pillow.

Before she could nod off Annabeth quickly moved closer and kissed the girl on the lips, whispering goodnight before returning to Percy's arms and closing her eyes. Piper was left stunned, stunned and proud as she snuggled an inch closer to her so they could fall asleep peacefully together.
