Percy Jackson Annabeth Chase meet the Fallen C13
Sam was lying on the couch in Athena's home up on Olympus. She had been there a week after Athena had healed her she woke up feeling refreshed. She did not get the chance to say goodbye to Elizabeth who had returned to the Hunt with Artemis after the meeting. Ever since she woke up though she could not leave the room that Athena was in, not without her permission. Sam sighed again for probably the five time within five minutes.
"Sighing like that will not change my mind." Athena stated
"I'm bored." Sam replied
"Anna, you know why it is this way."
"I know. I am sorry, my intention was not to anger you." Sam replied
"I know your intentions were pure."
"But rules are rules I know, I get it. It feels like we have had this argument before."
"That would because we have."
"Did I tell you your design on the..."
"Not going to work."
"If other people heard this banter between us they would not believe it is you." Sam stated with a smirk before rolling on her back and looking up at the ceiling.
"Can I not just return to work? I would even agree to let Alice be in charge." Sam tried
"No, you know you must remain by my side. I do not have time to 'hang' as you would say at the kataskeví trión (building of three.)"
"I called it that when you designed it from three points." Sam defended "and that was over a century ago." She added rolling off the couch she moved her way over to Athena to see what she was doing. "Who are these plans for?" She asked noting the complexity of the design. Now it was Athena that sighed. "Scale of one to ten how upset are you with me?"
"Let me answer your question with another question. How many rules did you break?" She asked Sam who looked away from her.
"Who is counting?" Sam asked as soon as she said it she realised her mistake.
"I am, you broke nine of them."
"Nine? No can't be that high." Sam stated moving away from Athena who followed her with her gaze. "Okay, maybe it was, but you have to admit some of these rules are a little out dated." Sam stopped by placing her hand over her mouth freezing she slowly turned back to look at Athena. "I did not mean to say that...yes I did." She corrected herself "stupid bond." Sam mumbled knowing it was the bond that was forcing her to speak what was on her mind and be honest.
"You would lie to me?"
"You and I both know I can't do that."
"You have been down with the mortals too long." Athena stated watching as Sam had picked up a book and flipped through it without reading it. She dropped the book and turned to face her.
"No, I know what you are thinking and no. Last time you had me stay up here I had that issue with Aphrodite." Sam stated shuddering at the memory. "Can't we go down to one of your other businesses? I mean you have several...all across the country. Not to mention the overseas ones."
"I supposed we could go to Texas." Athena stated making Sam tense
"Olympus home of the gods, perfect." Sam stated
"No you are right, I can't have you having issues with the others. We should go to Texas."
"You promised, I still have 50 more years until that promise expires." Sam pointed out only for her to stop..."you know some people think you don't have a sense of humour." Sam stated dryly
"You want something to do, read this." Athena stated handing her a thick book. "You're a little rusty." Athena pointed out
"This book is on engineering." Sam stated last time she checked she was still pretty good at it.
Sam was halfway through the book when Athena got up to leave the room Sam sighed and followed her out she was surprised to see Artemis waiting at the door with Elizabeth and Thalia. Athena went into a room with Artemis leaving Sam with Elizabeth and Thalia.
"You have healed nicely." Elizabeth stated
"I know, and thanks for everything. So what's going on?"
"We are tracking a monster."
"Cool."
"Room or building?" Elizabeth asked her
"Room...unless."
"Unless she tells you to wait here?" Elizabeth asked smiling
"I am glad my suffering amuses you." Sam retorted
"What else?"
"What makes you think there is something else?" Sam asked back when she got a specific look from her she looked down.
"Not sure yet, but I am pretty sure something is cooking." Sam mumbled
"What are you talking about?" Thalia asked
"Nothing let's change the topic, how are you finding the hunt?" Sam asked
"It is fine." Thalia replied
"That's it? That is all I get, come on I have been trying to get Lizzie to share what exactly goes on, your response is more stiff than hers. It was nice knowing you."
Sam stated placing her hand on her shoulder looking her in the eyes before she started laughing.
"You amuse yourself still I see." Elizabeth stated
"You know me Lizzie I am pretty simple." Sam shrugged she went to move but winced before sighing.
"It's strong for you to take her words literally." Elizabeth stated
"Well she did point out I broke nine of her rules." Sam rushed out
"One more and you would be an owl again." Elizabeth stated
"You promised never to mention that again." Sam complained but could not hide the smile when she saw Elizabeth smiling. They both grew serious when Athena and Artemis came back.
"The monster has left our domain." Artemis stated "I would go after it with the hunt but we have the other monsters to round up. Athena has agreed to send you with Elizabeth after it." Artemis stated looking at Sam.
"Lady Artemis as much as I would love to go after the monster I can't leave Athena at the moment." Sam pointed out.
"About that." Athena stated making Sam look at her
"Why have I got the feeling I am not going to like what you say next." Sam groaned more to herself but the others heard it.
"I can transfer it onto Elizabeth until I see you next time."
"Ohh, no. You have got to be joking. No offence Lizzie, but she is Lizzie. If you transfer it to her...that would be too weird." Sam stated when she got a specific look from Athena. Sam tried to stand her ground, for all of a minute before the mark on her arm burned. "Fine, but when this backfires I get to tell you I told you...never mind."
"You realise this means Elizabeth will be in charge." She smirked and turned to look at Elizabeth "change of pace for you. Maybe my awesome leadership skills would rub off on you." Sam stated with a smirk. She got elbowed in the side by her sister who lowered her head in respect to Athena.
"Hey I was referring to when we travelled Greece together." Sam mumbled
"I don't know if this is me giving you a break or you punishing me?" Elizabeth stated at this the corner of Athena's lips pulled up.
"Ouch feel the love in this family." Sam mumbled she felt a burning sensation in her arm before looking at Athena. She knew that it had been transferred to Elizabeth.
"Alright, let's grab your gear so we can go." Elizabeth stated Sam closed her eyes as she felt the command wash over her.
"Elizabeth is new to it." Artemis stated
"Yes so whatever she says Anna will do." Athena agreed watching the girls leave she then turned to Artemis who nodded at her before leaving with Thalia who looked confused but did not question it, however Athena had a feeling that as soon as they arrived wherever Artemis was taking her the questions would start.
