Last time: Thalia walked up to Percy. "Hey Kelp Head, why did Thanatos free us?"

Percy looked over. "Thalia, Annabeth, I would like to make you an offer."

Third Person POV:

Thalia and Annabeth looked at Percy, then at each other. Finally they looked at Percy again as if to confirm they heard right.

Annabeth talked first. "A-an offer for what? Please seaweed brain, let me at least first just register that you're okay and I'm with you again."

Percy just smiled slowly and hugged Annabeth tightly in his embrace. After Thalia finished cursing the gods, she asked again. "What's the offer?"

Percy sighed before telling them. "Well, how do I say this? Thalia, do you hate the gods?"

"Uh, kind of since they tried to kill you and since they have another 6 feet of ego and stubbornness…"

Percy spoke again. "What about you, Annabeth?"

She burst into tears. "I don't know, Percy. They're my family but they tried to kill you… even my mom…I don't know what I feel anymore… I still love them but… Percy, I missed you so bad!" She crushed Percy hard with a hug.

"What about Josh?" Percy stated.

*****Minor gore warning*****

He could see the rage in Thalia's eyes. "That stupid little male… uh no offense Percy, but I kind of want to crush his brains out and then feed them to a hydra. After, I want to stain him in acid and then cut open his stomach to take out his organs and cut them up and feed them to him. He should get immortality. Then I could forever drain his blood out and force him to…"Thalia's eyes glinted. "Eat the horse manure from Geryon's farm."

Percy considered the idea. "Hey, I like that idea. We should do that to him. Anyway, back to the point."

Percy paced around, having a crying Annabeth clinging to his arm. "I offer you to join me."

Annabeth stopped crying and looked up at him. "What do you mean?"

Percy replied in a smaller tone. "I joined Tartarus to destroy Olympus, and I offer you to join me with him."

Annabeth stared at him like he was crazy. Percy was pretty sure he kind of was.

"T-Tartarus is evil though! How could you help him?" Annabeth stuttered.

Percy had a sad glint in his eyes. "Annabeth, I'm sorry. You don't have to fall with Olympus and Thalia too, of course. He promised me my mom would be safe. He promised you would be safe from everything. I don't want you to die again Annabeth."

Percy stopped for a second, listening to Tartarus. "Tartarus says he can spare a few gods, just for you, Thalia, and me. Although he can't spare Zeus, Thalia can rant to his ashes about what height he really was including ego and blindness. Only Zeus's ears and brain would be left."

Thalia was still looking grim, but she managed a smile at the thought of her dad finally listening to her.

As they walked back out the underworld, Percy explained some more.

All three of them liked that they could punish Josh. Annabeth figured he would hate knowledge, so she got her architecture tips and how to be a scientist book ready. Thalia was just happy she could beat up her brother.

"Percy, would it hurt more to Josh if I kicked him in the shin or if I punched him on his face?"

"Percy, should I explain how to detect the weather, or 1538 ways on how to shape a cube with framings?

"Percy, where does the sun not shine?"

"Seaweed Brain, do you think I should tell him your life story?"

Percy sighed and told them back, "Both, 1538 ways to shape a cube, look for the shadows, and I don't care. It can be done if he will be annoyed."

"Okay!" Thalia and Annabeth said.

"Is his left or right hand weaker?"

"Does he know Einstein?"

"What is his real height?"

"Am I smarter?"

"Do you have any eye tics? If you do have one, can I borrow it?"

"Does he hate you?"

Percy heaved another great sigh. "The answers are left hand, no, 53 ft including his cons, definitely yes, why in the world would you borrow an eye tic and how would you? Also, yes he hates me."

Thalia glanced at Annabeth to make sure.

"Percy, our minds are made up." Thalia began.

They came to a halt and Percy spun around. "What is it?"

Annabeth said, "We….."
