Chapter 4

Disclaimer: Recognize it? Well, if you do, I'm pretty sure that I don't own it.

If you see something that I haven't explained and it confuses you, please ask me and I will happily explain.

Thea and Annabeth were talking with Chiron in the kitchen about the fight in the alley. Percy was keeping Oliver out and in the living room. From what she could hear, Oliver was drilling him about his cover stories from when he had been 'kidnapped'. She hoped Percy didn't slip up and get a detail wrong. Her thoughts turned back to Chiron, who had another camper calling him about an injury. Chiron looked annoyed, but Thea could tell he didn't want to worry anyone with a long mysterious call. "Go, we can talk later." Thea told him. He gave her a troubled look.

"Be careful Thea. If Gaia is rising again…"

"Then we'll deal with it if we can confirm it." she said. She waved her hand through the message, ending it. She walked back into the living room, and Percy shot her a look that said 'Save me!'. She looked at Oliver.

"So, I assume that you want to question me about how I'm fluent in another language?"

"Yes Thea, I was wondering why you are able to speak… that was Greek, right… and never told me." Thea was surprised that he recognized it.

"It's not that hard." She told Oliver, pointedly. "You know some Russian words."

"Я свободно владею русским языком. На самом деле, я был частью русской мафии, но я никогда не скажу вам об этом." Oliver said.

She gave him a look. "I can't speak Russian Oliver, I can speak Greek and English. So, since the only language we both speak is english then we should probably stick to that."

"Who says I only speak English and Russian?" he asked her teasingly. "I may know a bit of Latin."

"Scisne latine dubito, Oliver." she replied, amused.

"Quod ubi erras." he responded, perfectly fluent.

("I doubt you know Latin, Oliver." she replied, amused.

"And that's where you're wrong." he responded, perfectly fluent.)

"I'm impressed. I would have thought the boy who dropped out of four colleges would barely speak English, let alone fluently speak two others and recognize a third." she said, turning the tables. "How did that happen on a completely deserted island?"

"You know I wasn't alone Thea." he said. He lifted his shirt a small bit, showing her the scars. "You've seen the scars."

There wasn't much talking after that. Suddenly, they heard a crash and a scream from the kitchen. Thea, Percy, and Oliver all stood up. Sally came racing in. Her eyes were wide, but she quickly calmed down. She was used to this. Thea and Percy sprinted in, Percy uncapping Riptide and Thea pulling her sword, Wavemaker, from her neck.

As they entered the kitchen, they saw Annabeth fending off all three of the Furys on her own. Thea quickly got into the fight, pulling her gun off too and emptying about twenty bullets into the closest Fury. The Fury turned and hissed. Thea recognized her as Ms. Dodds. The bullets seemed to do nothing though. She saw the wounds automatically healing, and returned her sword to bead form. "Guys we can't kill them. Let's get Oliver and Sally out of here!" Percy called above the noise of the battle. Thea ducked back into the living room, panting. Annabeth soon followed, while Percy kept them confined to the kitchen. A vase flew past Percy and nearly hit Thea in the head. It would of, if her instincts hadn't kicked in and made her drop to the ground, the vase shattering harmlessly behind her. She turned to Sally.

"Can me and Percy flood your kitchen?" she asked. Sally gave her a look.

"You would do it with or without my permission." Thea shrugged and gave her a cocky grin.

"Can't a girl be polite?"

"If what's in there is what I think it is, then you can be polite later. Go!" Sally told her. She ran off to Percy.

"Put them in a whirlpool, keep them from reforming!" she told him. He nodded.

"I'll get it started, fend them off."

She nodded, and Percy stepped back as she took his place. She held the Furys back with her sword, as they tried to escape into the room and kill the demigods. All of the sinks turned on, and formed a wall of water between the Furys and the demigods. Thea stepped back out of breath, and turned back to see Percy holding his hand out, concentrating. "A bit of help?" He asked.

"You can start a hurricane, yet you need help making a whirlpool in your kitchen?" She teased.

"It's not an easy task!"

"How about you hold the wall, and I'll hold the whirlpool?" She suggested, teasingly.

"Just do it already!" He exclaimed. She shouldn't tease him. When he made that hurricane in the Titan war, he still had his Achilles heel, and he had been facing an army in Alaska. He also didn't want to completely destroy his mother a kitchen, meaning that he would have to use more control. Thea knew from experience that it was harder to control water with precision. She sighed and lifted her hands. All of the water in the apartment lifted with them, from the water splashed aside in the kitchen to the water in the vase sitting on the living room table. Her eyes turned sea green, an upgrade from the ocean blue they had been, and she thrust her hands towards the kitchen. All of the water streamed into there, and started forming a whirlpool. The Furys were sucked down, turned to dust, and kept from reforming. Thea wasn't even breaking a sweat though. She was much more powerful than her brother, she could stop the tides if she wanted. Percy let the wall down once the Furys were obviously contained. Thea gestured with her hand and caught the water, which she added to her whirlpool. She turned her head back to Annabeth.

"Get them out of here." she said, gesturing to Sally and a shocked Oliver. "I've got this." Percy opened his mouth to protest.

"If you want to be useful, IM Nico." she told Percy. He nodded, and grabbed a drachma. Thea let him steal a bit of the water she was using to create a rainbow. Thea then noticed that Annabeth and Sally were failing to get Oliver out of the room. She sighed, knowing how stubborn her brother could be. She solidified some water and knocked Oliver out with it. Annabeth and Sally dragged him out of the apartment, and Nico shadow traveled into the room. "Furies are attacking, could you send them back to your dad or something?" she asked, annoyed. Nico nodded, and took his sword out. He stabbed the swirling dust, which instead of vaporizing the monsters sent them straight to Tartarus. Thea let out a breath and the water returned to it's original places. "My brother is going to kill me." she muttered under her breath as she walked out of the apartment.
