Chiron had declared a break of 5-10 minutes to get everything in order so everybody was engaged in conversation. Poseidon was just making Percy drink water continuously, both for healing purpose and because it made you feel better anyway.

"Percy, you wanna take a walk or something for fresh air?" Hades asked him. He knew right after the note of the fates, Percy looking at him and Amphitrite reading the lines that Percy had tried to skip those lines for him because he didn't want him to hear them.

"Yeah. Yeah, I think I'll do that." Percy said. Hades nodded.

"Mind if I join you?" he asked.

"Of course." Percy told him. Percy got up and so did Hades and the two of them walked outside.

"I think I ought to thank you." Hades told him.

"I don't think that you ought to do anything of that sort." Percy told him with raised eyebrows.

"This isn't you just helping me. You got sick for it and I know that you probably knew that there might be some consequences." Hades said to him.

"I got sick and yeah, maybe, I knew that there might be consequences but I couldn't let it go without trying. If there was a way to skip it then I had to try and yeah, I did do it for you but you don't need to thank me for it. You're my family and I care about you. You're my uncle and I love you. That's why I did it. So, I'll say it again. You don't have to thank me for it." Percy said to Hades with a smile. He saw surprise take over his face and he wasn't that pleased that it was surprising but Hades had to know this.

"But I really am grateful to you and Nico for last night." Hades said to Percy with a smile. Percy returned it.

"Synonyms don't work, uncle. I know you are because I can see it. When you're family, you don't have to say things for the other person to know." Percy told him. Hades couldn't help but smile at that.

"Thanks for this, at least." He said. Percy chuckled.

"Of course." He said. "Listen, I'm just going to go and change real quick, all right?" he asked.

"All right. I'll tell the others as well." Hades said. Percy smiled and raced off to the Poseidon quarters. How'd I end up with a son and nephew like them, Hades thought as he walked back and smiled to himself at that.

Percy ran into Rhea on his way back from the Poseidon quarters.

"Oh shoot. Sorry." Percy told her with a small smile.

"That's all right." Rhea smiled at him. Percy started to walk to the hall when Rhea stopped him.

"Percy, can you tell me what's going on with Zeus and Hera?" Rhea asked him

"Hera hasn't told you?" Percy asked her as he turned around a few seconds after the question.

"She did." Rhea admitted "But I want to know what you know." She said

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you everything that I know. But you can. So, maybe you should tell me what is going on with Hera but if there are certain things you can't tell me, then you don't have to." Percy told Rhea.

"She's disturbed by what happened." Is all Rhea said. Percy chuckled dryly.

"What happened according to her?" he asked.

"She says that Zeus put her second as he always does and doesn't care about her enough." Rhea said, not elaborating. There were things her daughter had told her that she didn't want to tell Percy. Percy laughed but it had no humor whatsoever in it. He had a limit with people who twisted such kind of stories for their benefit.

"I think you need to verify your sources." Percy told her, without any sort of smile at all, his gaze piercing. He turned around and vapor travelled to the hall, right between Triton and Tyson which made both of them jump slightly and everybody else laughed lightly. Percy winked at Poseidon, who had taught him this trick in the first place and the god fist bumped Percy.

Aphrodite took the book and flipped to the right page.

"HAZEL." PERCY WAS SHAKING…No more blackouts."

"Well, that's good. It wouldn't be good to have Hazel pass out during battle." Beckendorf said with a nod.

Percy scratched his head…she's talking about.

Everybody snickered at that. Percy grinned sheepishly at Tyson who looked at his brother with amusement in his eye.

Hazel pressed her hand…going to pass out from now on?"

"Imagine that though." Grover chuckled

"Percy's just gonna be so done." Hermes laughed. Travis, Connor and Chris grinned at that.

"They should eat cereal." Demeter nodded with a chuckle. Then she looked at Nico and Hades and a mischievous smirk creeped on her face which scared Nico and Hades. She looked at Katie who sported the same smirk. Nico crawled back, he and Hades sharing the same look on their faces.

"Cereal's coming for you." Demeter and Katie said who looked and sounded like Demeter 2.0.

Hades and Nico swallowed.

"Don't." Hades and Nico said in unison, Nico looking like Hades 2.0. Everybody burst out laughing at the look of terror on their faces and the look of triumph on Demeter and Katie's.

Then Katie and Demeter turned their attention to Percy whose smile washed off his face and he screamed, with his voice cracking beyond belief and he groaned.

"And this is why I don't scream like that." Poseidon snickered.

"Mission accomplished." Demeter and Katie high fived.

"This is terrifying and amusing at the same time but I'm going to continue." Aphrodite with a smile which represented what she said.

"Nope," Ella said…like the idea terrified him.

"As it should, Zhang." Reyna smirked at Frank who swallowed nervously.

"That idea is terrifying, if I'm going to be honest." Leo nodded in agreement with Frank.

"You know what's more terrifying? Her sister was the goddamn queen of the Amazons when Reyna sent us to them." Percy told him.

"Well shit. Enjoy." Ares chuckled. Reyna smirked.

Percy nodded. "Apparently Reyna…"That's encouraging."

Everybody snickered or burst out laughing at that.

"Smart harpy." Hades commented with a grin of his own.

"This is gonna be soo fun." Nico sniggered.

Percy and Hazel threw cushions at him. Thalia conjured some popcorn and relaxed against the wall.

"I'm going to enjoy the show." She grinned.

"You guys are mean." Percy pouted which made everybody laugh even harder.

"No but seriously, Ella just being like 'see ya later…hopefully. Enjoy.'" Connor laughed, holding his stomach which hurt.

"#Ellafanclubmoment." Travis joined in.

"And Reyna be sending two guys in to the headquarters of the Amazons. You just gotta love that." Thalia snickered and clapped.

"I hate you so much, you know that right?" Percy told her.

"I'm aware." Thalia grinned at him. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades chuckled at the interaction between their kids, knowing just how similar their banter used to be.

"I mean I agree with Thalia." Clarisse smirked.

"That wounds me." Frank said dramatically. Clarisse grinned at him.

They docked at the wharf…P bobbing in the waves

"May the boat rest in peace." Chris chuckled.

"It kind of rested in pieces, Chris-" Travis pointed out. Everybody stared at Travis before they all burst into laughter again. Hermes looked so damn proud of that joke.

"That was good." Percy chortled.

"Guess we're not fixing it…They're not actually Amazons."

"You sure about that, kid?" Ares grinned at Frank who grinned sheepishly.

"Unless…" Percy walked through…"We're looking for Amazons."

"This reminds me of Percy's conversation with the guy in the lobby of the Empire State Building." Annabeth chuckled.

"My guy just causally showed the guy the lightning bolt." Grover nodded in agreement.

"It was brilliant." Percy grinned.

"Hilarious." Zeus said sarcastically but he looked highly amused.

"Hey, I got to make that guy recognize me later on but I still had to make him remember me when we all had to come to Olympus during the final battle." Percy said, sighing in faux disappointment at the end.

Kinzie glanced at Hazel's sword…She'll be the one deciding your fate."

"She needs to sort out her priorities." Lee chuckled. Artemis raised an eyebrow at him and Lee grinned sheepishly at his aunt.

The Amazons confiscated the trio's…They just know their place.

"Harsh." Jason frowned.

"Understatement." Rachel muttered.

"That shouldn't be allowed, to be honest." Pollux agreed.

Now, move…but it felt that way to her feet.

Hades chuckled at that even though his feet felt sore.

Kinzie smiled smugly… "Cancel free shipping?"

Everybody turned to look at Frank and snorted in laughter.

"Oh shit." Hermes laughed, clutching his stomach. "That was good." He said.

"No but seriously. They probably would." Apollo chuckled.

"That would be a pain." Grover shook his head

A guard slammed…sword into his gut

Ares grimaced as the pain travelled into him.

Percy tried to help him…but Percy ducked

A few people snickered at that.

"Reflexes." Clarisse nodded. Percy winked at her.

"Stop it!" Hazel said…This way."

Reyna frowned.

At the end of the warehouse…head against the cage door

"They shouldn't be keeping him in a cage in the first place." Demeter scowled. Poseidon nodded in agreement. Percy bit his lip and Katie cleared her throat and the two of them looked at each other awkwardly. Nico smirked at Percy who flipped him off, causing Nico to snicker.

The metal bars shuddered…St. Agnes wouldn't have liked.

"Wonder who he gets that from." Hades said to Poseidon amusedly who grinned sheepishly with Percy sporting a similar grin.

"What'd you say though?" Michael asked Percy.

"For Fuck's sake." Percy replied sheepishly making everybody laugh. Poseidon bit his lip to keep himself from laughing.

"Clipboard," he said…"Where my sister and I parted ways."

Reyna sighed.

"Sorry, Reyna." Percy and Annabeth said but Reyna shook her head.

"It made us better people if we're going to be honest with ourselves." She said

She stepped toward Percy…"You're welcome," Percy said.

A few people snorted in amusement at that.

The queen dug her knife…My word is law."

Everybody cheered for Hylla this time.

"I see."

"Congrats." Hazel said. Hades looked at her in surprise and chuckled.

Otrera looked at the assembled…muddled your memory, Otrera?"

"Yeah, you tell her!" Frank cheered.

The older woman sneered…I will most likely be dead."

Reyna took a deep breath. If that would have happened, she would herself hurt Otrera in some of the worst ways known to her.

"Chapter's done." Aphrodite said.

"I'll read." Hephaestus said.
