Selena and Jasper arrived at the healing house at the same time as two riders, the one on the strawberry roan reared as the pair came barrelling towards them but missed them by an inch, a soothing voice echoed from behind the bronze helmet "There, there Thumper. It's alright, it's just jasper." She patted her horses flank as the second horse- a black stallion with a rider in pure black armour- drew up beside them. "There is no time for comfort stops, we need to see my brother." She scolded and slid of her horse in a very business-like fashion and stomped towards the double doors, Selena put out her hand though and asked tentatively "Is it really you?" emo girl nodded almost imperceptibly but it was enough for the daughter of Aphrodite who lunged forward and enveloped the girl with a huge bear hug. The Bronze helmeted girl dismounted as well and with a dramatic swish of her arm and the loud clanking of armour she swept of her helmet, letting loose a waterfall of bright red curls that fell all around her shoulders. "Rachel!" Jasper called out happily, it was nice to see his cousin after all these years- she had been their link to Olympus and communication had become strictly business only- Rachel's green eyes sparkled as she set eyes on Jasper's gold mask "Still playing mysterious cuz?" she chuckled briefly before her eyes turned hard and she headed towards the girl in black.
Inside the building they grew quiet, Rachel's friend managed to detach from Selena's grip and walk over to the beds where Percy, Nico and Leo where tossing and turning with their faces beaded with sweat. Jasper was relieved to see no one had touched their masks. At their entrance Thalia stirred from where she had been sitting in the corner staring into the distance. Apollo's son set to work. He took of their masks after locking the doors and closing the curtains and set about dabbing their faces, taking their temperatures and a blood test.
Percy stirred a few times but only enough to cry out in pain and mumble some incoherent words before lurching back and resuming his restless sleep. The new girl crouched down next to Nico and wiped his forehead mumbling things that only the deathly pale boy had a chance of hearing, her hair was scraped back to reveal a pretty face, her skin was olivey and she stared at Nico.
Thalia watched her warily before speaking up "We need some sort of plan, Jas do you know what's wrong with them?" she scrunched up her face in a worried expression as all conscious heads turned to stare at him expectantly, he cleared his throat before replying "I don't know- I mean I have an idea but I'm going to have to look into it." His eyes dropped to the floor. They stayed like that for a few moments before a noise coming from the bed caught their attention- Nico had managed to prop himself up on his elbows and reach his hand towards the girl by his hand, as his fingertips brushed her cheek he just had time to whisper one word before falling backwards again into dreamland.
That one word was "Bianca."
