Annabeth did not like Hera.
The one thing she had ever gotten from Hera was her friends.
Leo, Piper, and Jason formed a twisted sense of normalcy for her. They comforted and helped her. In fact, they were the only ones who would even come close sometimes.
When Annabeth spaced out with that cornered look in her eyes, they knew what to do. They realized that she felt trapped in her life of nightmares, but that didn't mean they understood. Only one person would, and he was gone. Missing.
Because, truly, when she looked at it, they just weren't adequate.
