Alright guys! Sorry for the semi-late update but I had a bunch of stuff to do before school kicks back in so I was just taking care of that. I leave on a mini vacation on Wednesday and I'll come back the 19th so when I do I'll have two nice and long chapters for you all to read. I'll do another short chapter before I leave though. For now, Enjoy!

The atmosphere was nerve-wrecking as is, so the fact that Ash wouldn't stop crying made the rest of the cabin just amped up everybody.

Connor was the only one who she would even talk to and even he couldn't get her to stop. Fortunately, her headache clocked her out and she soon passed out in Connor's lap. Travis would've killed for a nap, but he couldn't even close his eyes for the slightest moment on the way to Olympus.

"She's lucky," Connor said looking down at Ash's sleeping figure, the sides of his mouth twitching, "At least someone can get some rest."

"She's so young," Travis said quietly, his nimble hands moving to her face to push the hair out of her mouth, "Why did Chiron even let her fight?"

His brother's look hardened, "She's a good fighter: quick, agile, and she'll be part of our scouting team," Their group came to a halt as Connor finished talking, "She'll be safe with us."

As cabin leaders, Travis and Connor had to move to the front near Percy, putting on their signature Stoll grins in an attempt to lighten the mood. When Travis saw Katie, double swords at the ready, in front of the Demeter cabin, he gave her a reassuring smile.

He tried to listen to Percy while he was talking, but it was hard to, knowing that they could raid any store on Manhattan Island. There was a brief pause in Percy's speech and Connor took that moment to say the first thing that came to his mind.

"Dude! Dylan's Candy Store! Completely empty!" Connor was beaming, completely ignoring the fact that

They were about to go to war with the Titans

They were on fucking Olympus

Travis, of course, completely agreed with his brother, and was about to say something before Katie's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Is now really the time Connor?!" Her face was flustered and she had a stern tone. Connor went quiet but sent a smirk Travis' way, as if he was saying saying, "Dude, your girlfriend totally just called me out."

Percy cleared his throat before organizing the present camp members into their ranks.

"Connor, I want you to take half of the Hermes kids to the Manhattan Bridge, defend that area to your best, and Travis—"

"Wait, Percy, me and Connor are always in the same rank," Travis broke in, his eyes dashing between his former cabin mate and his brother. He always felt more comfortable with Connor by his side. They fought almost seamlessly together, both predicting each other's moves.

Plus, Connor has the most kick-ass battle cries.

"Travis you take the other half of your cabin to Brooklyn Bridge," Percy finished, his voice unwavering.

Connor sighed, walking over and putting a hand on his brother's shoulder, "We'll be fine, just do what he says, the kid knows more about leading than we do."

Travis slowly nodded, his jaw tightening, "Okay, take Ash and the others, leave half to me and Connor,"

"Yeah?"

"Don't die."

Connor smiled wildly, he ruffled his brown hair, making himself look even more like a goon, "This is our biggest prank yet, you think I'm gonna miss out on the after party?"

Travis chuckled, rounding up his half of the cabin, leaving his brother to travel to the end of the Island. He double checked his resources. An emergency canteen of nectar and small box of ambrosia, courtesy of Will, and his celestial bronze katana; perfect for hacking the uglies.

Travis locked eyes with Katie, who had just finished helping one of the younger Apollo kids with their bow, she walked up to him and kissed him full on the mouth.

His immediately arms wrapped around her waist, and pulled her as close as he could to himself. When they pulled apart, she clutched his armor, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Everybody is staring at us," Travis whispered, only loud enough for her to hear.

Katie didn't smile or laugh, her voice was as stern as before, "Travis Stoll, I swear to the Gods, I will kill you if you die."

Travis couldn't help but laugh, "Katie, I'd be killed by a rogue fury than you."

She was still unfazed, "You and Connor both better come back alive," She stated, before losing eye contact with him and going over to lead her cabin.

Katie left him completely dazed. There was so much he wanted to say to her. He tried to collect his scattered thoughts but only one phrase came to his mind. Something that would more than likely make him go insane over her. They were off to their deaths and he didn't even have the nerve to tell her.

I love you.

Forgive me if this was a little short, but, to tell you the truth, I have some serious writers block. Reviews are more than welcome because I love feedback and all that jazz.
