Looking at Percy, it was clear that it was taking him a while to wrap all the information around his head. After I had explained, Jason and Piper had to explain it again. Then, we got Leo's very…fun version.

We were currently cruising to Gardiners Island off of Long Island. Back when I was still in the Titan army, I'd learned that they'd use Grey Shadow's fear against her. Okay, let me explain. They only knew Grey Shadow was Annabeth because Piper and Jason knew Grey Shadow was Annabeth. They knew as much as Piper knew, and Piper was her best friend so they knew a lot. Somehow, a way that I don't know, they knew Annabeth'd be at Gardiners Island tonight.

"Could you, maybe, I don't know, tell me why we're going to Long Island?" Percy asked. "And maybe, where this boat came from? Where Leo, Jason, and Piper have been for the past week? Or how 'bout how in Hades, Frank can turn into a giant bird!"

"Me and Piper and Leo—" Jason started.

"I miss Annabeth," Leo mumbled.

"Shut up," Jason said. "Anyway, remember last week? When there were all those horrible things going on all at once and you and Grey Shadow had to split up?"

Percy nodded slowly, realization dawning on him.

"That was—"

"I'm not proud of it, but yes." Piper said, her head lowered.

"The Titans, they know everything we know," Jason continued. "They raided our brains—"

"I feel so vulnerable."

"Leo, stop interrupting!" Jason exclaimed. "So be careful, anything you've trusted with the three of us is completely at lost."

"What about the Frank and Hazel thing?" Percy asked.

"Oh, right." I said.

Hazel blinked, looking at me like I was crazy. "What?" Frank asked in disbelief.

"Look, your friends are in trouble." I simplified. "I need your help to help them."

"Who friends?" Frank asked.

"First, let's deal with the main problem. Leo, Jason, and Piper. They've been kidnapped and brainwashed. They're trapped in enemy arms." I explained. "I do have plenty of other soldiers, but I could mutate you and make our very powerful."

"Mutate?" Hazel asked, eyes wide.

"You'd have special abilities." I explained. "Like Annabeth and Percy."

Frank scrunched up his eyebrows, looking straight at me. "Percy and Annabeth?"

"Yes, they're Grey Shadow and Hurricane. Except, they don't know the other is that, and your not supposed to either. So don't mention it around them."

"My head hurts," Frank groaned.

"Listen, I'm going to mutate you. You'll pass out for a few hours, but when you wake up, you won't remember the past few days. It'll wear off though."

"I won't remember?" Hazel asked.

"Could be worse. Percy and Annabeth don't remember anything from before the got their powers." I said with a shrug.

Hazel looked at Frank, who's face was scrunched up as he considered my offer. "It'll help our friends," Frank muttered. "Okay. I'm in."

We both looked at Hazel, who nodded mutely. "Let's do this."

_12:14 am, Last Thursday. Manhattan, New York_

We were gathered around a large table, a blueprint of Luke's laboratory thing spread across the table. Connor, Travis, Beckendorf, Kayla Knowles, Clarisse La Rue, Katie Gardner, Jake Mason, and Drew Tanaka were there. They weren't even the whole of our army, just the main people left who weren't in training (story for later). Hazel and Frank were with us too.

"Luke still thinks the majority of you are on the Titans side." I started. "Katie, you'll be down in the supply warehouse. On my signal, you'll raise the air pressure so everyone has to evacuate. Beckendorf, you need to make sure your on the team escorting Jason, Piper, and Leo out."

"What do we do?" Connor asked excitedly.

"You two, get me as many weapons as you can." I said. "Jake, you'll be here with me, overseeing it all. Kayla and Clarisse, you'll show up with Hazel and Frank, saying that they want to join. Once you do, Jake will play the loop footage we've got here. Get to the computer room, erase all the data. We'll walk you through it, don't worry."

_8:21 pm, Long Island Sound, New York_

"That's it?" Percy asked.

"That's the jist of it," Piper said with a shrug.

"What about Nico? How come you didn't even mention what happened to him? And why does everything resemble Greek Mythology? What's that all about?"

"Nico fell in the Void," I said. "That's another dimension. If it's anything like Tartarus, what it's named after, there's got to be another way out."

"Pretty sure we'd be able to find it." Hazel added.

"Well, why are we going to Gardiners Island?" Percy asked. "That's a private island, you know."

"No shit Sherlock," Piper said, thwacking his head. "The Titans took control of it a few days ago. Mind control and whatnot."

"But why?"

"Because the remains of the Crooked One are buried on that island." Jason chimed.

"So how on earth would Annabeth know to go there?" Percy asked, crossing his arms.

"Your mother told her."

"Well—"

"Why are you so confused!" Leo snapped. "Look, all we know is that some bad shit's going down soon at Gardiners Island. No idea what's gonna happen, how it happened, or anything. All we know is that your best friend since like forever is in trouble. You can leave if you want, but we're going there. Are you in, or not?"

Percy's face was blank as an eerie silence filled the boat (apart from the distant sounds of New York, and the breeze). Percy nodded mutely, stnsidnf up from his crate.

"Alright, let's do this," he said. "Leo, turn the wheel 13 degrees east so we stay on course."

"Last I check I'm the one with the GPS."

"Last I checked I'm the one with water powers."


a/n: So, a few things. One, this chapter was agonizingly short. Like honestly. But I have a good reason. I was supposed to work on it over the weekend, but I've been sick. I still am sick. I barely managed to finish it. Two, there were 2 Review last chapter. It made me really sad, so no sneak peeks. I don't have a chapter written either, but I would've given you something. But you get nothing. You only get nice rewards if there's 10+ reviews. Cmon, it's very easy.

Three, next chapter will be Annabeth's POV. It'll be lit. I've got to do a lot of research for it. I had to do a lot of research for this one, finding out demigod names and what not. I'm still sick, so it was miserable. Yeah. My head hurts now.

Read and review. Next chapter will be litty lit lit. I bet anyone can guess what's gonna happen. Or not. Maybe. I don't know. I'm going to bed now.

See your Friday. (Next week is Valentine's Day!)
