_Percy Jackson_

_7:58 pm. Headquarters, Manhattan, New York_


While I was going down, I made sure to change into Hurricane, opening the basement door.

Grey Shadow was facing a desk, but turned when she heard me come in. She bit her lower lip nervously, holding something behind her back. She stammered out, "Hey…P-Percy."

I stared at her, watching a tear roll down her cheek. "Per-Percy," she stuttered. "Tell me it isn't true. Tell me your name isn't Perseus Jackson, and that you don't live in Eastern Manhattan with you mom, and Nico di Angelo isn't your cousin. Just…please."

"How'd you find out?" I whispered.

She shook her head, her blonde curls shaking slowly. "How did I not? How come you didn't tell me!"

I looked at her in confusion. "Your mom knew, I bet Jason knew too, maybe your whole fucking family! I thought that I was your best friend? You promised you'd never keep anything from me! Percy and Annabeth, Best Friends till the Day we Die! So why didn't you ever tell me!"

"Annabeth?" I asked.

"Yes it's me, if you obviously couldn't tell you idiot!" Grey Shadow—Annabeth—I don't even know anymore.

"Why didn't you ever tell me you were Hurricane, Percy?" she asked, folding her arms over her chest.

I looked at her, watching as her yellow eyes shifted, looking me up and down. "Okay, listen, you told me that neither of us needed to know the other's real identity."

"Yeah but, if I'd known you were Percy, as in Percy fucking Jackson—"

"That's not even my middle name!" I interrupted.

"It's for emphasize, idiot."

"You know, since we're already mad, I'm gonna let you know right now how much I hate it when you call me those demeaning names!"

"What?"

"Yeah," I said, putting the pizza box down. "You always say I'm stupid, and an idiot and all that. If you ever did anything other then make fun of me, you'd notice that I'm smart. I may not be as smart as you, but I can sure as hell try."

"Stop trying to change the topic!"

"There you go, always blaming it on me." I stated.

"I don't—"

"Everything is either Percy or Hurricane's fault!" I yelled, cutting her off.

"Because you clearly act on instinct without having a formal plan!"

"You make me hate planning ahead!"

"Me!"

"Yes you! Everything has to be thoroughly detailed or you start going off, then if something goes off your perfect little schedule, you go off! There's no pleasing you!"

"I'm sorry that I've got my life figured out!"

"My whole life is already planned out, in the perfect 'Annabeth Manor.' Maybe I don't want you making a schedule for everyday of my life!"

"I'm sorry that I'm trying to help you!"

"Maybe I don't want your help!" I exclaimed. "You do whatever you want, not even caring how it effects other people!"

"Well I'm sorry that I know what's good for you and you don't!"

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. It was all so much to understand, it all happened so fast. First, I was getting pizza for me and Grey Shadow. Then Grey Shadow finds out my identity. Grey Shadow turns out to be my best friend Annabeth. Then we start fighting, of some reason. And then Annabeth, Grey Shadow, someone, just leaves.

So, I think, God I hate thinking. I kissed, Grey Shadow, who's Annabeth, who I've been best friends with since I was in diapers.

Wow.

I picked up the bag of pizza—damn, I said bag of pizza. I'm definitely losing my mind. I picked up the box of pizza, sitting down at the table across the room. Opening it, I pulled out a slice of pepperoni, taking a bite of the deliciousness. At least pizza was still easy to understand.

While eating my pizza, I spotted a bag with beige folders spilling out. I pulled one out, seeing that it read Sagittarius Emiliana Castellan. Sagittarius, that sounded familiar. I opened the folder, pages and pictures falling out.

Sagittarius Emiliana Castellan, born 3 April, 1908; died 17 August 1922; resurrected 14 May, 2016; Resides at Goode School for Special Needs, with Hazel Levasque; MISSION: Uncover the plans of the Titans.

Sage! This was Sage! Wait, but if it was Sage, how was she born in 1908? This doesn't make any sense, but nothing these days seem to make sense. I resembled the papers and pictures into the folder, putting it to the side. I picked up another folder, this one reading Τάρταρος (Tartarus, Void). Tartarus….that's that place in Greek Mythology, where the gods send their enemies. Why was there a whole file on this?

Before I could read more, a loud alarm blared through the room, making me jump in surprise. Across the room, a small hole in the ground opened, two people crawling out. I got out of my chair, backing to the wall. They stood up, wiping the dirt off their faces.

"What the—Frank? Hazel?" I asked, looking between the two. Hazel smiled softly, nodding her head.

"Oh, pizza," Frank said, moving to the table.

"We've been looking for days," Hazel whined, following him. "I just hope we made it in time."

"What?" was all I managed to say.

"What day is it?" Frank asked. "Ew, olives."

"Saturday," I said.

"Stop eating, Frank, we've got to go." Hazel said. "The others are probably outside."

"What's going on?" I asked. "And stop eating my pizza!"

Frank picked up a folder, holding it up. "Percy, this monster-witch thing is attacking Grey Shadow." Frank explained. "She needs our help."

"Wait, how'd you—"

"Stop asking questions!" Hazel interrupted. "Annabeth is going to die if we don't go help her right now." She then looked at Frank, who had been watching her. "Now would be a good time to do the thing."

Frank nodded, then did something that really surprised me: he turned into a giant hawk, flying up through the ceiling. Hawk-Frank came down, and Hazel jumped on his back. Then he grabbed me in his talons, flying up and out of the room. All I could do was scream. He then dropped me over the East River. I was too out of it to even think about controlling the water. Luckily, someone flew up, catching me in their grasp.

At first I thought it was Grey Shadow. And then I got a closer look. "Jason!" I yelled.

"Surprise," he said with a chuckle, flying towards the water.

First things first, I hate flying. Second, what—where—gah! I'm so lost! So Frank can turn into a giant hawk, Jason can fly, Hazel knows I'm Hurricane, what else is there to add?

Apparently, the fact that Leo, who was previously missing for a whole week, can man a giant boat (sorry, he says it's a Greek trireme), and apparently him, Jason, and Piper aren't really missing.

I looked between all five of them, glaring furiously. "Can someone please explain what the hell is going on!" I shouted.

Another voice, a small voice, young, said, "I can."

I turned around, seeing Sagittarius Castellan standing behind me, blonde hair braided back.


A/N: TaDa! There you go, so much just happened, I feel like Percy in this chapter. I bet you all feel like him too. So, instead of telling you why Annabeth's going to die and all that, were going to have a few chapters of flash backs. We'll start with Sage, give her one or two chapters. Then it'll be to Jason, one or two chapters. And then we'll go back with Annabeth's story.

Here's a look to the future. I've started work on Valentine's Day one-shots, three to be exact. And, even better, if you look at the calendar, Valentine's Day is on a Tuesday, which is an update Day. Hmmmmm…. I wonder what'll happen when I update this story.

And there is another chapter up, like promised (cause there was 1 Review that got the Titans right—KuroNinja, that was you. At least, I think it was intentional.) So, I know that they aren't technically Titans, but, for the good of the story and all that. Fire Ball was Leo, The Voice was Piper, and The Electric Eagle was Jason.

Read and review, cause you know you love it when I put in sneak peaks! I didn't this time cause I had to rush to finish the second chapter for today! See you Monday!
