*Idea for the holograms came from the Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Annabeth woke up better rested than she had in years but she felt defiled. Her lips still tasted like alcohol and she was still groggy. Ready to be rid of the feeling, she took shower and was about to climb back into bed to get a few more hours of sleep but stopped when she saw a tray of her favorite breakfast sitting on the nightstand. A note was tucked under the glass of milk

Enjoy

Annabeth was about to sit down and follow her directions but a knock sounded on the door and Percy stuck his head in.

"Morning. Sleep well?"

"What are you doing here?"

He smiled, sat down on the edge of the bed and patted the spot next to him. Annabeth scowled in return and sat down, pulling the tray onto her lap. he dug into the breakfast and was enjoying it until a slice of bacon disappeared from her plate

"You're only supposed to take what I offer." Annabeth said

"You didn't offer any so I decided to take matter into my own hands."

Of course Annabeth, being the mature 24 year old she was, stuck her tongue out at him and he stuck his out at her in return and gave her a grin

"Hurry up I want to show you something."

"No. You know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I will not leave form this spot until everything is gone from this plate."

"In that case I could just eat it for you"

"You are annoying. Until it is all in my stomach, there happy?"

"Just hurry up"

Just to annoy him Annabeth ate slowly while he paced in front of her bed. She was getting dizzy just looking at him but she really couldn't help it. His tousled black hair stood up in every direction, his lean body was tense with excitement and his green eyes sparkled in the light

"Checking me out Wise Girl?"

"Umm yes?"

He smirked and went back to pacing; a few seconds later asked "are you done yet?"

"Yes" she said taking her last sip of milk and setting the tray back on the nightstand. With that he stood up, grabbed her arm and dragged her down a couple of hallways before ending at a door labeled simulation room.

"What's in here?"

Percy didn't say anything but only grinned in return and drag her into the room. Inside was pitch black

"So what do we do now? Make out?"

"Sure why not" he said seriously.

Annabeth was glad he couldn't see her blush "that was a joke"

"I know but as you know Ms. Chase. I can be a Very literal person" he said repeating the statement he made long ago "If you were to visit somewhere far away, would you want to go?"

"Hogwarts"

"Me too, but somewhere real?"

"Athens, Greece" she said immediately she had always wanted to see the Parthenon in Athens. She heard a few clicks and a Greek market shimmered into view. All around her were people screaming at each other, hurrying down the crowded streets or just standing there taking pictures. Annabeth was amazed as she turned to Percy.

"Is all this real?"

"Yep we can be a little more advanced that government. This is the training room. Holograms help you train and you can conjure scenes up from places around the world so we almost never go out but we do at the same time."

"Wow" she said still amazed "how?"

"We are a top secret organization, so we have cameras everywhere and even if we don't, that's what hackers are for."

"Ah"

"Now then time for some training"

"Training?"

"You heard me."

"Might I ask why?"

"Remember yesterday?"

"Yes… ah training"

Percy smiled, waved his hand and a door appeared. He opened it and walked out of the room" stay here" he called back.

"Gladly" Annabeth then sat down in the middle of the holographic Greek agora.

Line break

Fifteen minutes Percy found Annabeth sitting there in the middle of the holographic Greek agora, completely mesmerized by the people swarming around her. He didn't want to take her out but he had to so he crossed to the control panel and changed the room to training mode. Annabeth looked around in confusion until she saw Percy standing there with a girl, Travis and Another man standing behind him.

"Training. Yay." The man who wasn't Travis said in a bored monotone voice.

"You don't seem so enthusiastic" the girl commented

"I'm not."

"Well it's fun and I need to practice" she looked at Annabeth as if looking for permission

"Be my guest" she said while walking to stand at Percy's side

"Watch the magic"

"Andy, don't hurt yourself" Percy said in a mocking tone

"Ha very funny big brother, you know I won't" and with that she walked over to the control panel and stepped into the center of the room she flicked her wrists and fans shot into her hands and snapped open. Then a human figure shimmered into existence behind her she spun around and slashed her steel tipped fan across his neck and he dropped to the ground if actually dead. As more and more appeared, Andromeda danced through them taking down at least one with every swipe. A bell rang and they stopped showing and Andy straightened and shot a wicked smile at her brother.

"Hey I beat your record Perce, 52 in two minutes"

"You butt."

She stuck her tongue out at him and he did the same in return.

"What was his record earlier?" Annabeth asked

"49 with fans"

"You mean he can use more than fans."

"Of course you don't get to lead for nothing but everyone has a signature weapon. Like Nico." The black eyed dark haired man gave a short wave at the sound of his name "He really doesn't use a physical weapon but his is stealth. Sneaking through the shadows then whipping daggers at his targets. Travis had his double-broadswords. Piper and her dagger, Jason with the javelin all sorts." Andy explained

"Wow. Why do you guys use old fashioned weapons? Why not guns?"

"Easy" Travis replied "they're too loud"

"Ah" she understood. Her dad's friend was a cop and allowed her to watch him fire a gun. The bang had been heard by her mother a way off.

"So weapon? Choose" she walked over to the wall and banged at a particular panel. It slid open to reveal and small array of weapons. Daggers lined the borders while a few bows, swords and a few other weapons lined the center.

A particular dagger caught her eye. The leather bound hilt with an eight inch bronze blade that glinted in the sun. It was honed to a fine point and wickedly sharp. Annabeth strode over and plucked it off the wall and its matching sheath. She tested it out feeling the balance. It was perfect it fit into her hand perfectly.

Andromeda smiled "Good pick"

"Hey Andy!" Percy yelled from behind them "I beat your record again"

"What!" Andy screamed

"Check the board"

She ran over to the control panel with Annabeth trailing behind her. On the screen was a flashing 60 and the word 'fan' underneath.

"I hate you" Andy growled at her brother

"No you don't you luuuuuuve me"

"Want a bet?"

"Nope. But I want a hug"

Andy smiled a devilish grin and lunged. Percy ducked out of the way and un-swung the sword off his back. He turned just as Andy's fans struck the flat of the blade. This went on for another few minutes until somehow Andy ended up on the floor with Percy's sword at her throat.

"You never could beat me Andy."

' Yeah" she admitted" but I sure can try"

He smiled at his little sister and turned to Annabeth "well, now that that's over. Let's get some training done."

An hour later Percy, Nico Andromeda and Travis had thought her defense and how to use her surroundings to her advantage. Annabeth left the room tired and sweaty and went up to her room to take another shower. Day after day went like this. She now -along with what she did before -went to the simulation room and trained. The trainer would vary from day to day. Almost every day there was someone different. Mostly it was Jason or Reyna. Piper had come a few times and gave Annabeth pointers on how to use her dagger.
