Jason

Everyone looked at Percy in surprise. Why Annabeth? Is it just because she's Percy's girlfriend? No, there's got to be some other reason for this. The question remained, is she going to be accepted.

Jason turned to his fellow allies and looked among their expression. Piper had almost no say in this. She looked like she was in a neutral state. Leo was just fiddling with some metal that he probably took out from his belt. Hazel looked surprised. The same goes with Frank. Octavian looked pretty pissed, as if he wanted to go on the quest. That's probably the case here. If you think about it, he'd be one of the heroes of Olympus and he could gain many followers and might just be able to become praetor. But he'd never side with the Greeks. Or would he?

Jason turned back to Reyna who had a mixed expression. Did she too wanted to go? But it wouldn't be so surprising if she did want to. There'd probably be 49% who wouldn't want to have the burden of carrying the world's fate on their shoulders, 50% who'd probably die trying to get this chance to be one of the greatest heroes ever, and then there'd be the 1% who just wouldn't care at all.

Looking back to Reyna, to her eyes more specifically, Jason started to have visions. Truth be told, he didn't quite remember everything that's ever happened to him. He can only remember the names of certain people, but not any events. Reyna seemed to be an extremely person to his life, but he couldn't put a finger on it. He talked to her a while ago, but anything she said didn't remind him of anything. She's not my girlfriend, is she? Jason thought. He knew that he was the preceding praetor and that he was some sort of superhero. But he just didn't know what he did.

Jason was standing in full battle armour, in some sort of field. He had his old weapon in his hands still in coin form, so obviously this vision had to be from the past. But he seemed to be shorter that usual. Was this one of his younger experiences? Could be. He examined the coin on both sides and found it to be a normal coin, but golden. I flipped the coin once and it transformed in to a three foot long blade. I flipped it again and it turned back into a coin. A third time and it changed in to a javelin.

"That will be your weapon." Lupa said as she approached Jason. "It has quite a history with the Romans, but not just anyone has been given this."

"What's its history?" Jason asked.

Lupa smiled. "In time, my young one. But I cannot tell you now." The younger Jason pouted. "For now, go train with your weapon. It was destined to be with you." With that, Lupa turned away and started walking. Slowly, she faded into nothing at all. Jason did as Lupa commanded and started training with the some of his friends. He showed off his new sword and they all practically hated him for it. They easily fell for Jason's skills so he had to face the older and more experienced, which gave him a hell of a workout. But in the end, he somehow managed to beat some of them.

Suddenly, in the middle of a battle, the horn sounded. The way it was blown, it signified that there was a new demi-god on the shores of the Tiber. And it was urgent. Quickly, Jason and his opponent dropped their sparring moment and ran towards the gates. Octavian and Dakota met up with Jason. They weren't really friends yet, but more like acquaintances.

As they passed the gates, the guard told them, "Minotaur and dracanaes chasing down two girls." The three nodded and sprang into action. Jason fought the minotaur who was too predictable. He killed him in less that a move. As it charged at him, he spun around his opponent at the last minute, evading the man-bull's attack and turning him into golden dust. Octavian and Dakota killed their dracanae with ease as well. The two girls ran to the trio to thank them. Along the way, one girl fell down due to exhaustion, but Jason caught her before she hit the ground.

"What's your name?" He asked softly. He looked into her dark eyes and she stared back. The girl was pretty beat up and was bleeding a little, causing her to shake, probably due to the amount of blood loss. Her black hair was covered in blood and her head filled with some cuts. The girl was around Jason's age. She coughed a couple of times and tried to make something out, as if she was unable to speak. A few moments of silence passed, and only one word exited her mouth before passing out. She smiled.

"Reyna."

"Jason!" Piper called, who was standing right beside him. Jason shook his head, driving the memory away then looked at Piper. Gods she's pretty, he thought. "You've been zoned out for quite some time now." Jason realized that they were now outside, past the promerian line. At first he was confused at what happened earlier, so he decided to ask.

"Wait, so what happened earlier? Are you the seventh?" He asked Annabeth. She looked a little pale.

"Don't you remember anything? You looked like a robot from a different dimension for the past ten minutes." She replied. Jason just shook his head. Annabeth sighed. "Reyna and I had a fight. She wanted to come along, but most of the the six chosen, excluding you so that's five, supported me instead of her. So she just stormed off after she was rejected." Jason looked somewhat depressed, and Piper couldn't help feel the same. But not for the same reason.

The group dropped off each person one by one to where they were supposed to be. Octavian went back to his temple, who seemed to be very much out of character today. He immediately took a teddy bear and sliced it, consulting the Auguries. No one heard him, but no one really cared. The next stop was all the way back to the Principia. Somewhere along the way, Piper wandered off somewhere away from the group, probably to go sightseeing. When they got to their destination, they were greeted by Dakota.

"Hey. How was the meeting?" Dakota asked. "Oh silly me. I'm Dakota. One of the members of the fifth cohort." He stuck out his hand for someone to shake. Leo introduced himself first. And being himself, he just had to make up "exaggerated" descriptions about himself.

"I am the most powerful and most awesome fire-user ever." Leo announced as he bowed all professional-like. "I am the great -" Frank smacked the back of his head. "Hey what's up with the hitting?" Leo said, as he rubbed the back of his head.

Frank rolled his eyes, "You're such a goof!" Frank held up his hands in surrender.

"Fine. I'm Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus. Or as you people would say, Vulcan." Leo and Dakota shook hands. Then Annabeth introduced herself as the daughter of Athena and architect of Olympus. At first, Dakota didn't believe her but Percy somehow convinced him by saying thinks like, "she was always by my side, even when we fought Kronos" and stuff like that. Annabeth would blush every time Percy mentioned her greatness.

"Anyways, I guess I should get on about showing you guys the fifth cohort." Dakota finally suggesting. Everyone nodded but Percy stayed back. Annabeth raised a brow, questioning his action.

"Go ahead. I'll catch up later." Percy told her. Jason was walking along with the others until he was pulled back by someone by his wrists. Jason was turned around only to be face to Percy.

"Couldn't have you just asked, 'hey, can I talk to you?'" Jason asked. Percy rolled his eyes.

"Well I didn't really want anyone else to hear. Besides I don't even know if it's allowed at all." Percy explained seriously. Jason had a puzzled look on his face, unsure of where the conversation. Then a very disturbing thought came through his mind.

Jason stepped back a little, "You're not gay, are you?"

Percy shook his head quickly, "WHAT? N-no! Of course I'm not gay! I am going out with Annabeth. She's been my girlfriend for over a year now and it's going to stay that way for the rest of my life" He said defending himself.

"Geez, calm down," Jason told Percy, "what do you want to tell me then?"

"I wanted to give you what you rightfully own," Percy started to say, "the position of praetor. We both know and the whole Camp Jupiter knows, that I am a Greek. Even though we are working together, I won't be able to stay here when the war finishes. I'll have to go back to Camp Half-Blood. That would mean, I would be gone from this camp. Besides, i never even wanted to praetor. I was just waiting for you to return so we could do the exchange. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about."

Jason nodded, "Yes, Juno did say that the exchange of leaders was necessary. But I'm pretty sure it was only to gain each other's trust." Percy was nodding to his words. "Ok, we'll have to speak with Reyna about this. Both praetors must be in an agreement. Otherwise, there will be a vote. But I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure that they'd be happy to do the switch." The two decided that they'd go tell Reyna right now, and headed off. But then stopped, realizing that they didn't know where she went. She did disappear from the meeting after she was out-voted to be the seventh companion for the quest to save the world.

"Maybe find her tomorrow?" Asked Percy. Jason nodded in agreement. It was getting late and it should be dinner soon. "Alright, I'll probably see you at supper." The two waved good bye and went their separate ways. Jason decided to go back to the city, maybe even to the temple of Bellona. The place is a temple to Reyna's godly parent. Why else wouldn't she be there? But before he did anything, he wanted to check out his old room.

He ran to his old house but stopped himself from entering. I'm not praetor at the moment, Jason thought, maybe tomorrow I'll get to see what's inside. Jason decided to look around, see if anything could make him remember anything from the past. But really no such thing triggered his memory. He looked in the field of Mars, the temples, the river, the city; everything, but nothing would come to mind. What was really confusing him now was Reyna. She seemed to have some sort of strong connection with him, but he was afraid to admit that he was his girlfriend. He likes Piper. And he possibly might have liked Reyna. "Liked" being the key term there. For once in his life, as much as he can remember anyways, Jason wanted straight answers.

"Thinking?" Someone said from behind Jason. He spun around to see a black-haired girl with two dogs alongside with her. Reyna. Jason just gave her a puzzled look that said 'how did you know?' She laughed, "I know you. We've been well...together for quite a while now, but not in that way. We were getting close though." Reyna said sadly.

"I'm so sorry if I've hurt you in the past, Reyna." Jason apologized. "I would never harm you purposely." Reyna gave him an understanding look, then laughed.

"Don't worry about the past, Jason. And you've never hurt me." She stopped. "Until now since..." her voice trailed off and tears started forming in her eyes. Jason came up to her and hugged her, comforting her. He hasn't seen her this weak ever since they arrived, but he just had the urge to be there for her. Maybe she wasn't lying.

Jason shushed her and rubbed her back, calming her down, "I'm sorry. But I don't understand how I'm hurting you." Jason felt bad, even though he didn't know what he did.

Reyna let out a small laugh, rubbing most of her tears away from her eyes, "As oblivious as always." She sighed, forcing back the rest of tears. She had to remain strong, even if no one could see her, "My problem is... " She was second-thinking about telling him or not. After gathering her courage, she finally let out, "is Piper."

Jason's eyes widened, "She hasn't done anything wrong!" He raised his voice.

"It's not that. It's just...that you and her..." Her voice trailing off again. Jason now started to understand why Reyna was breaking apart. Him and Piper. Him and Reyna. They all had something in between them, yet both haven't officially been together. Jason's mind was now hurting. He couldn't think straight anymore. Who do I feel for? He asked himself.

"I'll leave you alone for now. But remember, I'll always be there for you no matter what or who you choose." With that, she turned and walked away from Jason, leaving him in his thoughts.

The next morning was painful for Jason. Not only was Reyna refusing to look at him, Piper was doing the same. Does she think me and Reyna are together? Damn. Two people now are hating on Jason. He was now stuck in a love triangle. Either way, he'd break someone's heart and that someone's heart is a person he has feelings for. What was he supposed to do now? Dump both of them, even though he was never with any of them? No. He just wouldn't be able to do that. It wouldn't be fair to the two and to himself. Jason sighed, thinking about how his life got messed up. Thanks a lot Juno, he said quietly.

"Hey, Jason!" Percy called as he ran up to him, being followed by his girlfriend, Annabeth. "We should go find Reyna now shouldn't we?" Annabeth glared at Percy.

"What were you guys planning?" She asked evilly.

"Nothing at all. Jason just told me that we'd need to talk to the other praetor if I could give back the position of praetor to Jason." Percy explained.

Annabeth sighed and said one word, which totally scared Percy and Jason, "Good."

The three headed of in the direction of the mess hall, for it was time for breakfast. Annabeth was a little disturbed by Jason's expression. It was similar to Percy's expression when he was in deep thought. Being the usual Seaweed Brain he is, Percy didn't notice a thing. When they arrived at the mess hall, everyone sat in their proper seats and began to talk with all their friends. Before anyone got deep into their conversations with their friends or even started eating their breakfast, Jason and Percy got up and went to the front of the hall and cleared their throats, as loud as they could conjure. But being a chatting group the Romans were, it didn't work very effectively.

"HEY!" Jason shouted above all the voices. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Jason and Percy. "Ummm...thank you." Jason then handed the rest to Percy.

"If I could call Reyna up to front with us, that'd be great." Percy called among the demi-gods. After a few moments, Reyna finally got up from her seat and walked up to the two.

"So what is it that you want." From her tone, you could tell she was not in the mood to be up there. She sounded pretty angry. Jason and Percy both told her what they wanted to do. To everyone else, all they heard were the quiet whispers coming from the mouths of their leaders or ex-leader. Coming through everyone's minds, were questions like, "What are they talking about?" or "What are they hiding?" When the three were done their little "private" meeting, Reyna turned to the crowd and opened her mouth to speak.

"My counter-part and I were just talking about his position." Reyna started. Murmuring filled the mess hall. "Percy wants to give up his position and give it to Jason." Everyone's expression was shocked. Why? Percy and Jason didn't know for sure. "But that decision all depends on you people."

But the question was, would the Romans take back Jason after Percy saved them from total destruction?

OMG! I'm so sorry for making you guys wait sooooo long! I am getting super busy with extra curricular activities and I did just move so it took me twice as long to get everything updated.

Anyways, how did you guys like that one? For those Jayna/Jeyna fans out there, I gave you guys a little bit of action there. As for them Jasper fans, I may add something for you. Hehe. I actually still don't know what the pair will be, but REVIEW!
