_Annabeth Chase_

_7:19 pm. Headquarters, Manhattan, New York_

"Hello." Okay, so I'm not alone. I tensed, hearing the familiar voice of welcoming. "It's great to see you, Annabeth."

I spun around, coming face to face with Sally Jackson. I gaped at her, watching as she smiled sweetly at me. "Who knows how long Hurricane will be gone, and I don't want to be here when he gets back. We have a lot to discuss."

"What?" I spit out.

Sally looked at me in a way she does whenever she proves Percy wrong (which is often, by the way). "Yes, I know that your Annabeth Chase, I know who Hurricane is, all that. Now, we've got fifteen minutes at most before he gets back."

She grabbed a large bag, walking to the table. Hesitantly, I followed her, watching as she unpacked it. "Nico di Angelo, went missing last week. Only, I know where he is."

"You do?" I asked.

She slid a folder to me. In thick, black marker, it was labeled Τάρταρος (Tartarus, Void). Intrigued, I picked it up, opening the folder. "What's Tartarus?" I asked as I looked through the black pictures.

"It's another dimension, filled with demons and monsters." Sally explained. "All those childhood terrors root from creatures of Tartarus. There were these scientists, they were basically mad scientists, they called themselves Demigods—"

"Why?"

"I was about to explain. They thought that they were gods, creating new things that god could only make. But once they failed at creating life a bunch of times, they realized that they were just below gods—demigods. They're the people who gave you your superpowers. I wasn't planning on telling you that much today, but I guess I can quickly sum it up.

"When you were younger, Annabeth, your father worked in this building. He was part of a team of scientists, trying to learn more about Tartarus…."

Dr. Chase and Dr. Olympia rushed down the corridor, excitement clear in the movement. They had just been paged by Lucas Castellan, their intern, that they had passed stepped five, and were on their way to an interphase. Seven year old Annabeth Chase pulled on her father's sleeve, trying to get his attention.

School had been let out early, due to a chicken-pox scare. Her mother was off on an extravagant life adventure, her stepmother in the hospital, leaving her father to have to bring her to his job. "Daddy, I'm bored." Annabeth whined. "I wanna do something fun!"

"Where'd your boy go?" Dr. Chase asked, looking at Dr. Olympia.

"I'll go find him!" Annabeth volunteered.

Before she got a response, she darted off back the way they came, hoping to find her best friend. She weaved through hallways and rooms, crawling under tables and chairs, passing other mad scientists. She ran through an cross-hallway, colliding with another kid. They both fell in an undignified heap, laughter escaping both of them.

Annabeth exclaimed his name, turning to her best friend. "Where did you even go?"

"No time, I wanna show you something cool!" he exclaimed, getting to his feet. "C'mon, we might miss it."

He bounded down the hallway, with Annabeth on his tail. He skidded to a stop, holding a finger to his lips. "Ssh," he said. "Look, we can't be here."

"So why did we come?" Annabeth asked, confused.

"Cause rules can kiss my butt," he said, pushing the door open. Annabeth giggled quietly, following her friend.

They were pressed up against a glass window, peaking through. The boy glanced at Annabeth, saying, "You're my best friend, Annie." Annabeth turned to him, smiling.

"You're my best friend too," she said. "Pinkie promise me we'll be best friends forever."

"Pinkie promise," he said, wrapping his pinkie around hers. They smiled at each other, before he said, "Look, it's starting."

"What exactly am I watching?" she asked.

"Dunno, but breaking rules is fun."

"Aren't you glad we cut school for this?" Annabeth asked, smirking at him who nodded.

"Annabeth!" She turned, seeing her dad running down the hall towards her.

"Daddy!" she exclaimed with joy, turning to his.

"Owie!" her best friend cried, pulling back from the window.

"It's hot," she said, pulling back.

"Kids, that's a taped off zone. Get outta there!" Annabeth's Dad said.

Before they could move, a bright, blue flash went off inside the room, followed by a loud explosion. The kids screamed as the glass and wall broke into tiny pieces, sending them flying backwards.

"What happened next?" I asked, curiosity taking over.

"Well, from my understanding, the explosion had a lot of different chemicals and all that, scrambled your DNA, all that." Sally finished. She looked at her watch, then back at me. "So, more importantly, the Demigods gave The Voice—"

"Who?" I asked.

"The girl Titan." Sally stated. "Her powers came from the same place as yours. She seems to have the ability to control the Void. I've been investigating her abilities, there's neuro-electric interfacing, telekinesis, mental manipulation, charmspeak."

"And the other two? We had them down here too, but they escaped when…."

"Fire Ball, pyrokinesis and technokinesis. The Electric Eagle, aerokinesis, atmokinesis, and electrokinesis."

"And now your gonna go, so I can look up what those words mean." I stated, making her glare at me.

"Annabeth, this is serous." Sally said. "Percy should be on his way down, I'll leave these folders with you. I must be going now."

"Okay." I said as she went out through a door. "Wait a minute. Did you say Percy?"

A/N: BUM BUM BAAAAAAUUUUMMMM! Hmm, I wonder what'll happen next chapter? Well just have to wait for Friday, now won't we. The Voice: Her powers were based off of the Scarlet Witch, the one in Age of Ultron. So I don't own them, the basis is from Marvel.

On a sad note, there weren't 10+ reviews last chapter, which means that this is the only chapter coming up today.

But, I do have some good news. I've given you some information about the Titans. If you leave me a review saying who you think each is, and your right (it's not that hard) I'll post two chapters on Friday! Honestly, I practically spelled it out for you. There was also a significant amount of reviews last chapter, so, because I'm in such a good mood, I'll give you a sneak peak:

I rolled my eyes, letting out a long sigh. Quieter, I said, "You think you know everything, and you can do anything, but you can't, Beth."

"I just...I mean…" Annabeth sighed, shaking her head. "Why did you kiss me, then? I mean, if always known Percy had a thing for me—er—Grey Shadow, but, it's just, I don't—"

"I'm sorry for kissing you." I whispered, now knowing the truth. I was only her friend, barely right now.

"I just, I need some time."

She moved past me, going through the door. "Annabeth—"

"Percy, please, I need….I just need to clear my head," she said.

"I'm sorry," I whispered, barely audible as she walk through the door, shutting it tightly.

I closed my eyes tightly, shaking my head.

Instead of elaborating, I need your help. So, me being lazy and a major procrastinator, I haven't done a lot of my English work. Well, I've got 13 journals due by Saturday, and only one finished. So, I'll leave some prompts here, and if you wanna help me out, that'd be great. Each response has to be 12-14 sentences, and have an example. All you have to do is explain it. Thanks, you guys rock.

"Journal writing is a voyage to the interior." (Christina Baldwin)

"He that embarks on the voyage of life will always wish to advance rather by the impulse of the wind than the strokes of the oar and many fold in their passage while they lie waiting for the gale." (Samuel Johnson)

"Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost." (Erol Ozan)

"Life's a voyage that's homeward bound." (Herman Melville)

"The simple idea of a love or obsession towards something that feels unappreciated or impossible and the process of taking any action, whether it good or bad, to free yourself from it." (The Duck)

"I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing." (Plato, The Republic)

Last note. I also wasn't really working on another assignment. It's about the Odyssey, which kinda relates to Percy Jackson. For this, you jus have to explain the character's role in the story. Again, you don't have to do it. But, I'd really appreciate it. This is actually due by Thursday, though.
