I stood there for a little longer, "Well...Father, I'll be on my way." I really want to know what he was going to say...But, I shouldn't push it.

I bowed respectfully to my father and left. Time runs faster down here, so I'm not sure if Percy and the others are even still in the same place. But it doesn't hurt to check.

I was only most familiar with Percy so, I concentrated on him. He was in a limousine...I shadow traveled behind and felt angry for some reason...We know why that's happening.

"Not so fast now, are you, punk?" A familiar voice said.

"Ares," Percy growled.

I wanted to show myself and have another fight with Ares, but that's not why I'm here. The war god glanced at Thalia, Zoe, Bianca and Grover. "At ease, people."

He snapped his fingers, and their weapons fell to the ground.

"This is a friendly meeting." Are pushed the point of his sword a little further into Percy's skin. "Of course I'd like to take your head for a trophy, but someone wants to see you. And I never behead my enemies in front of a lady."

"What lady?" Thalia asked.

Ares looked over at her. "Well, well. I heard you were back."

He lowered his sword and pushed Percy away.

"Thalia, daughter of Zeus," Ares mused. "You're not hanging out with very good company."

"What's your business, Ares?" she said. "Who's in the car?"

Ares smiled, enjoying the attention. "Oh, I doubt she wants to meet the rest of you. Particularly not them." He jutted his chin toward Zoe and Bianca. "Why don't you all go get some tacos while you wait? Only take Percy a few minutes."

"We will not leave him alone with thee, Lord Ares," Zoe said.

"Besides," Grover managed, "the taco place is closed."

Ares snapped his fingers again. The lights inside the taqueria suddenly blazed to life. The boards flew off the door and the CLOSED sign flipped to OPEN. "You were saying, goat boy?"

"Go on," Percy told them. "I'll handle this."

"You heard the boy," Ares said. "He's big and strong. He's got things under control."

Everyone reluctantly headed over to the taco restaurant. Ares regarded Percy with loathing, then opened the limousine door like a chauffeur.

"Get inside, punk," he said. "And mind your manners. She's not as forgiving of rudeness as I am."

I decided to get in with Percy. I shadow traveled in seat next to Percy. I have to admit, I never expected Aphrodite to be here. I kind of hate being around her. Only because of her powers...The power to charm people, allow her to control them, to do whatever she wants. I'm not saying she's done that to me. I just know that's what her power is like.

I looked at Percy, I guess this was his first time ever seeing Aphrodite, because his mouth was hanging open. "Ah, there you are, Percy," Aphrodite said. "I am Aphrodite."

he sat down with his mouth still open and said, "Um uh gah."

Seeing Percy like this is fun and all, but he's only like this because of Aphrodite. She smiled. "Aren't you sweet. Hold this, please." She handed Percy a polished mirror the size of a dinner plate and had me hold it up for her. She leaned forward and dabbed at her lipstick, though I couldn't see anything wrong with it.

"I don't remember inviting you..." She said.

I looked at my hands they were still invisible. Percy looked confused, I didn't say anything. "Uh...Who are you talking to?" He asked.

I saw Ares outside of the limousine, he could probably hear everything they're saying. Another annoying thing about Aphrodite...She can make you see the most important person to you, when you look at her.

In front of me was Artemis, "You're playing dirty..." I said and released my invisibility power. She smiled, "I did nothing, what you see is not my fault."

"Wyatt...?" Percy took a long time to process this. "What are you doing here? Why are you here, actually?" He asked. Outside of the door I could feel Ares's powers kicking in, he doesn't like it that I'm here.

"It's a favor someone asked me to do. Plus there is something else I want to do..." I told Percy.

A short weekend chapter :D
