Payson-Nicky-forever; I wanted to thank you for your review and the advice, I have tried to include it in this chapter.
Hazelmallorn; Thank you so much for the kind review, I also wanted to thank you for your advice, I hope it has a better layout than my last chapter. I am glad to hear that Jeyna is your OTP, it is mine to, so if you want to rant, you can rant with me. I haven't had a good rant either.
kittyhawk09;Thank you for the review. To answer your question, a Pegasus is still a horse and because some horses have blue eyes I decided to give, Reyna Pegasus blue eyes. I called Jason a Jerk, because he was acting like one, it was not to put him down or anything, I kind of like him.
It is what he does that pisses me off, he disappeared for eight months and when he comes back, the first thing he asks Reyna is, to show his girlfriend around. That is something my mind can't comprehend, at the end of the lost hero he claimed to remember a girl named Reyna and that he felt guilty for liking Piper, now I ask how can he push all that aside and ask to show Piper around?
It is not so much as that he said that annoys me, but that he couldn't bother to ask her how she was doing? If she had trouble with Octavian? Also when he asked Piper to charms peak Reyna, come on? Why would he think that? No why would that thought even come up?
I will address both the charm speak as wanting to show piper around, later in the story though. I still have hope, that Jason will redeem himself, because I don''t think that Reyna would trust someone as indecisive as Jason, he was praetor so you should think, that he has to be somewhat of a leader right? he should be able to make hard desicions, so I hope we get to see the Jason Camp Jupiter was praising.
I like Jason but I am willing to admit that he, is being a Jerk who is willing to leave his home for people he knows for eight months? he has not once said that camp Jupiter wasn't as bad as the greeks claimed, didn't stick up for his camp when Leo made fun of them, although Frank and Hazel didn't do it either.
As for Piper? That list is endless, but the one thing that bothered me was when Jason gotten hit by the brick and all she cared about was if he forget her?
Really he gotten hit by a brick? And her relationship is her biggest concern? Or when she did not want to be friends with the Romans because she was afraid to lose Jason? Or when she didn't tell Jason about Reyna talking with her mother? Getting hurt when Jason showed he trusted Reyna?
How can anyone get hurt by that? The girl had been friends with him for over four years, so he is bound to trust her right? I think that where my main reasons, I have a few hundred left but I don't think anyone want to hear them.
And I also wanted to thank, I am bianca daughter of Hades, demigod 207 and I am Annabeth daughter of Athena, for their reviews.

I hope that you all enjoy the chapter and that I managed to keep them all IC, I will warn you there may be some OCC in some of the characters but I don't think it is that bad?
I apologize for any grammar/spelling errors, I have tried to keep it to a minimum and my spelling check is on, so let's hope he didn't miss the obvious mistakes.
This was not his day. And he honestly did not know who to blame for this disaster. Percy or himself for agreeing with this.
Actually they were both to blame for this.
He should have known, that an idea, coming from Percy Jackson could not be considered fool proof. And to think that Annabeth had warned about her boyfriends actions in the past.
The man could get himself and everyone else killed, that mouth if his would be the end of them all. Who?...who in their right mind decides to calls the leader of a group of giants not the brightest light bulb around?
Jason narrowly dodged the swinging club and rolled behind a garbage can, which might not have been the smartest thing to do, as he was now stuck between said garbage can and one pissed off Laistrygonian giant.
Blue eyes widened when the Laistrygonian picked up a white Sedan and threw it towards him, it was only due to sheer luck that an attack of Percy managed to flush the car and said giant away and against the brick wall.
Jason sighed, but sadly his relief was short lived, as another giant decided to take his chances against him, "Ideas?" Jason asked cutting his way through his newest opponent before he shifted his gaze towards the black haired male, seeing that he wasn't fairing any better, although he was doing an awful good job to push the two giants back.
Percy narrowly dodged a club aimed at his head, "Not get killed?" He asked slashing riptide through the nearest giant, "How about we focus on that"
"Of course, why haven't I thought about that" Was Jason sarcastic reply, "How about an idea to get us pass them and towards the others?"
"Must I do everything? I came up with not getting killed. How about you think of a way out?" Percy asked jumping backwards to avoid a head on collision with a iron clad fist, "Well? I can only keep this up for so long"
"And whose fault is it?" Jason asked cutting his way through another giant and sending a bolt of electricity through him for good measure.
"Okay maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to say" Percy chuckled when he felt the blonds glare, "Okay, okay it wasn't the smartest thing to say, but I can't help it"
If Jason hadn't been occupied with his three opponents, he would have whirled around and gave the dark haired man, a piece of his mind.
"You will pay for killing my brother" The Giant stepped towards him, slamming his club against the ground, "First I will kill you, and then I will take care of that Amazon queen"
Amazon queen? Oh great...seems like they weren't the only ones who had managed to piss this group of giants off, no wonder that some of them seemed to be beaten and wounded, "So the Amazon's pushed you all the way back?" Jason asked his blue eyes searching for a way out, "So you want to beat us to proof something to yourself or the Amazon Queen?"
Maybe he went a little too far with that last comment, judging by Percy snort and the growl the giants released?
Yes he went too far.
The Giant growled his eyes seemed to get an red glow, "You...You...How dare you" He slammed his club against a car and flatting it, "I will take pleasure in killing you"
.
.
"Oh and I am the blunt one?" Percy asked facing the blond, "I only annoyed them. You just pissed them off. It is one thing calling them dumb. But you just insulted their..." Percy started but whatever he wanted to stay was cut off by a flying car.
Green eyes widened, he managed to leap backwards landing a few feet away from Jason, "Close...That was to close for comfort" Percy cursed when he saw three giants running towards him, rolling over he avoided the sudden assault of wooden clubs and he could swear one of them was holding a lamp post.
Kicking up Percy jumped backwards making a perfect cartwheel that would make any gymnast jealous and landing perfectly on his two feet.
Jason looked impressed, "Not bad, a solid ten" He backed away from the fuming giant, "I didn't even know, you could do that"
Percy grinned his green eyes going from giant to the other, "Me neither, remind to tell Annabeth about it" He faced Jason from the corner of his, "Speaking off which, what were you thinking?"
Jason chuckled impersonating the dark haired male, "I might have taken it to far" He shrugged when the Percy tilted an eyebrow, "Alright, maybe I shouldn't have said that"
"Maybe? Try not all" Percy replied lifting Riptide, "I am open for ideas. Any idea is a good idea" He blocked the next two attacks, before he decided, that avoiding them was the best way to go. For the moment at least.
And to think, all they came out for was dinner. Honestly if Annabeth hadn't been craving KFC they wouldn't have needed to go so far out. Which meant that they would have not gone through that alley, which in turn would prevent them from meeting 15 giants who seemed to be craving a different kind of meat.
Hearing the sound of shattering glass, Percy shifted his gaze just in time to see a telephone booth being shatter in thousands of tiny pieces.
Jason had ducked in time and leaped towards his left, shielding himself from the flying glass, "Not my day" He could see how the door of the booth flew a few feet away before it crashed in to the ground, narrowly missing a black pickup, "How good is your driving?"
"In general or when being pursued by giants?" Percy asked clutching his hold on Riptide, "I would say...average?"
"Fine than I drive" Jason backed back towards the black pickup his eyes fixed on the eight huffing, puffing and cursing them to hell and back, "Entertain them"
"Do you even know how to highjack a car?" Percy asked facing him, his green eyes sweeping over him, "It is just you never stricken me as the type that would steal"
"And I don't, but I know what to do" Jason replied ducking under the smallest giant and making a dash towards the black pickup. He didn't bother to turn around when he heard the angry growl.
"I am counting on you" Jason called back, he smiled when he heard Percy's reply, it was amazing how he could keep such a carefree attitude.
Percy smirked, "Well it seems it is just you guys and me" He closed his eyes concentrating, he hoped he had enough energy left to summon enough water to at least push them back. That last few attacks had almost drained him.
He could feel it, the pressure build behind him. Thank the gods that they had set foot in Seattle, the ocean wasn't that far away.
The giants stepped back when they saw the wave appear behind the Demigod, some made a run for it hoping to outrun it, but sadly they weren't fast enough. The wave had already washed a few away and pushing the stronger ones back with several feet.
The leader stood up, his eyes filled with rage, "You think that this..." He stopped when he gotten hit by bolt of lightning.
Percy stepped back, his green eyes fixed on the giant who was being electrocuted. It wouldn't have been so bad if the poor monster hadn't been wet to begin with. He could swear if this was TV he would have seen the...
"Percy! What are you waiting for? Let's get out of here" Jason called from the pickup, "This won't hold them long"
And he was right, the few that managed to escape the lightning attacks where already standing up. Percy turned Riptide back into a pen and made a run towards Jason and their means of escape. Jason who hadn't bothered to wait up already started to drive, forcing Percy to open the door and jump in rapid succession.
"Geez thanks for waiting" Percy shifted his gaze towards the rear mirror seeing that three Giants attempted to follow them, "Tell me, do you have energy left? Because we have company"
Jason blue eyes darted towards the side mirror, seeing one gaining in on them, "Seatbelt and hold on" He was glad that Percy didn't ask anything and did what he asked, "Let's hope that, this works"
Percy faced Jason and to the way he was clutching the wheel, "What..are you doing?" His eyes widened when he saw him turn the steering wheel, "You got to be kidding me" he grabbed the door and held on tight when the car skidded making a full 360 degree turn and racing towards the giants.
"Hold on" Jason pushed the gas pedal, hearing the engine roll, "Let's hope that we startle them so much that they forget to hit us with their clubs"
"That is what you are worried about?" Percy asked his eyes fixed on the three giants running towards them, screaming their heads off, "I am more concerned about being stamped under their feet"
"Don't worry it will work, I have been through this before" Jason replied turning the wheel sharply to the left causing the car to almost overcorrect, nearly crashing against an incoming club.
"Yes...Nothing to worry about" He faced Jason, "You actually did this before? When? And where you driving?" Jason shot him look asking really now, "Yes, I want to know my chances for survival"
Jason kept his eyes fixed on the road in front of him, doing a good job avoiding being slammed of the road and squashed under the feet of eight giants, "A few years back, it was in Texas. It was one of our last quests before Reyna became praetor and she was driving"
Percy head shot up when he heard that name, Jason hasn't mentioned her in years. To hear him say her name was a surprise, the late praetor had been a very sensitive subject to talk about.
"So you are saying, you never did this before?" Percy asked his eyes widened when one giant decided to leap towards them, "Grace? What..." But his answer came in a sharp left turn, the sudden spin caused Percy to slam his head against the dash board, "Damn...I swear when I get out this, I will kill you"
Jason laughed, "That was my reaction when I made the mistake to hand the wheel to Reyna, I have never been so sick in my life, driving with her is considered a danger hazard" He shook his head, "There was this one time when she..." He stopped when he realized what he was saying, his blue eyes darkening with emotion, "Let's go back"
Percy sighed wondering when the blond would be ready to talk about, the late praetor. It was obvious he missed her, but it seemed like talking about her, became harder instead of easier for him. There were times when you could find Jason, just staring in to space his mind miles away.
And no matter how many times they tried to approach the subject, the young man would pull his walls even higher, "Let's find something to eat first"
Jason nodded maneuvering the black pickup through the late night streets, he was grateful that Percy didn't push the subject, he hated talking about it. Saying that she was dead made it real, ignoring that little detail made dealing with the memories easier.
This was taking too long. Where were they? Three hours...it didn't take three hours to find a KFC right?
Annabeth Chase grey eyes where fixed on parking lot, hoping for a sign of her boyfriend and Jason but still nothing.
"Something happened" Pipers soft voice broke through her musings, "I will search for him" The brunette was already halfway through the motel room, when Annabeth's order stopped her.
"No" Annabeth shifted her gaze towards the brunette, "That is not a smart thing to do" Annabeth returned her gaze towards the window again, her eyes sweeping over the road when she heard an engine start.
"Sitting here and doing nothing is better? He could be wounded or..." Her voice hitched refusing to finish the sentence.
"I know...I am aware of that" Annabeth snapped, her grey eyes flashing, "My boyfriend is out there to, but going out with no solid plan and no idea which way they went, is not wise"
"But I can't sit here knowing something could have happened" Piper replied, her eyes stinging, Jason she could not live if something happened, while she was safe and warm. She had to be there and help him.
"You think I can do this?" Annabeth asked her voice filled with outrage, "You think I like the idea of them out there? The state is currently being overrun by monsters, monsters who would enjoy to kill children of the big three" She narrowed her eyes, "Not to say, that the Amazon queen closed her borders from any Demigod hailing from either the Greek or Roman camps, there is an order that they can kill at sight"
Didn't she care? How could she sit so calmly, while her boyfriend was out there? Wasn't she worried? Piper loved Jason and despite their break up, she knew that Jason would come to his senses. He would realize that she was the only one who loved him truly and deeply. They have been through too much, a quest and a whole war that had caused them almost their lives.
Yes, she had supported him more than anyone in the world, and she refused to sit here, while he was out there. She clenched her fists, she would go...who made Annabeth boss? If she didn't want to help her boyfriend than that was her problem...
"Where will you go? Do you know which way they went?" Annabeth asked, "What do you think will happen, if they came back and you are still out there? Than we have to worry about you. Both Percy and Jason knew the motel and they will be back..." She stopped when she heard the voice of her boyfriend.
"You had to see me, Leo" Percy stepped in the room closely followed by Jason and Leo, "It was insane..." He grinned when he saw his grilfriend, "We are back"
Annabeth sighed in relief when she saw that he was virtually unharmed, "What happened?" She asked hugging him, before she faced Jason who was being crushed in a hug by Piper, "What took you guys so long"
Jason sighed pushing Piper away, "We would have been here sooner, if someone didn't decide to go one on fifteen, against a group of giants"
Annabeth eyes widened, "You what?" Her eyes narrowed when she noticed the sheepish look, "Percy Jackson...what in the name of Zeus did you do?"
Percy stepped back lifting his hands in a desperate attempt to keep her away, "It wasn't that bad...I only annoyed them...Blondie over there was the one that pissed them off" He lifted the KFC bag, "Chicken?"
"You...You I can't believe..." She was cut off by Leo jumping in the middle, and grabbing the bag, "What are you doing?""
The Latino grinned, "Saving the chicken" He dropped himself on the couch and handed everyone their meal, "I iris messaged camp, and they are holding up for now"
Annabeth sighed following Percy to the bed and dropping herself on the bed, "That bad?" She brushed a hand through her hair when Leo nodded, "And camp Jupiter?" She took a sip of her milkshake before she unpacked her dinner.
Leo shook his head, "According to Hazel, the Senate has voted unanimously and that they will not assist camp half blood in any way" He took a handful of fries, "Their praetors refuse, to send a few Romans east. Frank said that they can't miss anyone at the moment, all able Romans have to go to arms"
"How are they fairing?" Percy asked facing Leo who was in the middle of taking a bite from his chicken, "They are doing alright, right?"
Leo nodded swallowing before he replied with, "Yes, they are actually doing a whole lot better than us, so far they hadn't had any real casualties and they managed to push the monsters back behind their own lines"
"That means we have to hurry, the Amazon's are our only hope" Annabeth stated, "If we can't get the Amazon's to assist us in this, camp Half blood will be overrun by monsters and..." She trailed off not daring to finish that sentence.
"Porphyrion is not stupid, he knows why we came here" Percy replied, "And he will stop at nothing to prevent us, from reaching the Amazon campus" He sighed, "I wouldn't be surprised if he would try to get them on his side, they are after all loyal to no one but themselves"
"They have assisted us in the last war" Piper replied for her spot on the loveseat, "They aided and protected camp half blood against the forces of his mother, why would they suddenly side with Porphyrion?"
"Just because they sided with us in the last war, does not mean that they will do that now" Annabeth replied, "Besides the only reason why they fought with us was because of..."
"Reyna" Jason added, "The Amazon queen was Reyna's older sister and she didn't aide us, she aided her sister" He looked up from his drink, "They have a new queen now and this one, has no ties with either camp, we will have to convince them"
So what he was saying was, because Reyna wasn't here the Amazon's wouldn't side with them? Piper eyes flashed, if Reyna could convince the neutral Amazon's to come to their aide, than she could do it.
She could do anything what the daughter of war could do, anything and better, "Well I can always charm speak them?" She frowned when she something flash through Jason eyes, "All we have to do is make them see reason right?"
Jason sighed placing his food on the table, "I am going for a walk" He stood up stopping Piper from standing, "Aurum, Argentum venire"
Piper watched the two Automatons look up from their spot against the window, and make their way towards Jason. She pulled her legs up when the dogs passed her seat, she hated them and they didn't like her either.
The dogs reminded her to much of their owner, cold and emotionless. She watched Jason pat them gently ushering them towards the door, "I will go with you" The moment that sentence left her mouth, the two dogs turned around growling at her, "Jason..."
Jason sighed calling them back, "I think it is better, if I go alone" He faced Percy and Annabeth, "I won't be long, I will be back in fifteen"
"Take your time, we will decide how we will approach the Amazon's" Annabeth waved them goodbye, "He is still not over it is he?"She asked as soon as the door closed behind the blond.
Percy shook his head, "He is getting better though, he has mentioned her twice today and that is a whole lot more than what you usually get out of in a year"
"So how are we going to do this?" Piper asked, wanting to talk about something else that the Roman girl. She ignored the look Annabeth shot her and kept her eyes fixed on Percy who shrugged facing his girlfriend in turn.
"We wait, until Jason comes back" Was her simple reply, her grey eyes still fixed on the brunette, "It is only fair that he can decide his part in this right?"
A/N; Well that was the second chapter, I hope I did well, I am not very good in battle senarious,
I also hope I managed to keep them in character, and I have to be honest, writing piper is hard. The fact that I dont like her is one thing but her whole character is a contradiction.
Hates being girly and make up, but takes time to put a feather in her hair? Hates girls obsessed with boys, is the prime example of one clingy and totally obsessed girl.
And I can go on and on. But I don't think that I anyone wants to listen to what I have to say about her. Anyway that was my second chapter, I hope you all liked.
Please leave a review, I am still open for feedback and ideas. And I will see you all in the next chapter.
