Triton sighed, smiling as he woke up. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and his brother was gone…. Wait! Gone!?

Scrambling out of his bed as fast as he could, and careful not to wake up the two girls sleeping on their bunk, triton bolted out of the door and to the one place he just knew his brother would be at. The Hades Cabin…

He banged on the door and heard three sets of groaning, as well as one set of crying. His suspicions were confirmed.

He heard some scrambling before the little one- um, Jack? At least, triton thought it was Jack. Wait, wasn't it James? He knew there was one named after a fictional character. Wait, that was Severus. Or was it Cerberus. Triton was really getting confused here. he decided to avoid names.

"Hey there, your mom in?" he asked.

Jack nodded.

"Good. I need to talk to him."

"Okay uncle triton," the kid nodded.

He went back into the cabin and soon Percy emerged.

He looked tired and sleepy, his hair cutely splayed, "Hey, Triton!" he greeted, trying his level best to sound upbeat and cheery, when all he really wanted to do was go to sleep for a bit. A.k.a till next week.

"Why were you out of your bed?" demanded triton, "Without a note, or warning or ANYTHING!? Do you have any idea how worried you had me, mister? You are in trouble big time, you hear me!? Now get back to the cabin right this instant."

Nico, who could hear everything from where he was, Jack and Percy nearly dropped in shock. Since when did Triton mother hen this much!?

Percy just nodded and waved goodbye his boyfriend and kids.

"Hey, Perce," greeted Connor.

"We were just-"

"Wondering-"

"If you wanted-"

"To make-"

"An alliance-"

"With us," finished Connor.

Freaky how those two finished each other's sentences.

"Huh? Why would I need alliances?" asked Percy.

"For capture the flag," said Travis, unsure as to why Percy seemed so clueless about the matter, "it's Athena verses Poseidon."

"Damn it! Well played, Wise Girl, well played. You know what, I think I will take you up on that."

"Great," said Connor.

"Also, can you please check if the Nike and Tyche cabin are free?"

"Aye, aye, Percy," saluted Connor.

"And don't worry."

"We wont"

"Let Annabeth"

"School you"

"Again."

"Bye," they said together.

Triton looked at Percy weirdly, "what were they talking about?"

Percy glanced up, startled, "Oh, well, you weren't here the Friday before last, wow this is going to be hard, um, well, every Friday we have a capture the flag game with two cabins leading it. the aim is, to, well, um, capture the enemy's, um, flag," he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

Triton rolled his eyes, "well yes I gathered that much from the name. so, how many times has Poseidon led?"

"Ummm, about twice every summer."

"Impressive."

"Yup. That's 'cause we've got a permanent alliance with the Hermes Cabin. Being that they don't like watching Annabeth win, and we were friends back when I was in their cabin."

"Oh, right, forgot dad couldn't claim you till you completely blew your cover. I mean seriously, how they didn't guess…"

"Yeah, now that I think about it- wait, how did you know about my first summer at camp?"

"Well, if you're suggesting I stalk you or something," triton looked offended, he wasn't since it was the truth, but he still looked it.

"TRITON!?"

"hey, not my fault if I didn't want any nephews or nieces yet."

"Okay, I'm just going to pretend you didn't say that."

"Fine. Now tell me more about this 'conquering of the flags'"

Percy groaned. This was going to be one long conversation…..

"Hey! Don't you groan at me!"

yup, one very long conversation…
