THAT PICTURE OF ME WAS MADE BY mehtrinz ALL RIGHTS GO TO THAT FABULOUS FRIEN

I redid the blessings in chapter one to make Percy a little less OP, basically getting rid of all the blessings I didn't already name in later chapters since I'm way too lazy to go back into the other twelve chapters and make sure I revise it to where I don't mention them, and I have a plan for the one I did keep.

NAMES PLS ;-; LIKE SERIOUSLY PLEASE! I'M NOT CREATIVE AT ALL AND I NEED SOME NAAAAAAMES ;-; FOR CHAPTEEERRS! ;-; Siriusly, 50% of the time it takes me to write these chapters is me brains storming chapter named ;-;

In other news: HOOOOOLLLLLYYYYYYY SHOOT! GUYS! I'VE GOT 500 (last time I checked) VOTES ON THIS STORY!

THAT'S NUTS! ABSOLUTELY INSANE! OHMYGOSH IT'S NOT EVEN THAT GOOD!

But seriously, to clear up some thoughts on the Clintasha deal, it's one sided. Natasha developed feelings for him, but he has his wife and kids back home.

BUT UDDER DAN DAT! ON WITH THE STORY! GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK MY CRUMBS!

When I woke up, I felt familiar bedsheets underneath my back, and a thick blanket across my stomach and torso.

Snapping my eyes open, I bolted upright. The first thing my head felt in the morning was a sharp pain whenever it collided with the bottom of the top bunk.

Scrambling out of my blankets, I landed on the floor with a heavy thunk as my eyes scanned around the room, seeing the familiar setting of the Poseidon Cabin.

I jumped off of the floor, the fact that my wrists were no longer bleeding was barely registered as my brain all but flew at the speed of light.

I'm in my cabin. At camp. Where the remaining kids, kids for gods sake, were still mourning over their brothers and sisters who died in battle. Who all stare at me as if I can bring them back to life, like I can make everything better because I'm the Percy Jackson, the one who did the impossible, when I can't. I'm just- It's not- I can't. I can't do anything for anyone. I was the reason she rose in the first place, and I could've been the one to save my friends if I had just been faster, stronger, anything more than I already am and I could've-

Knock knock knock

My thoughts froze as I stared blankly at the door for several seconds before walking a few steps forwards and slowly cracking it open. Well, would've cracked it open if it wasn't almost shoved off it's hinges as someone pushed it back with enough force for a cyclops to be turned to dust.

Blinking twice, I smiled- read grimaced- at who I saw on the other side of the door frame.

"Heeeeeey... Thalia..." I said, feeling a bit if cold fear pit in my stomach as I loomed up at my now both physically and technically older cousin, who was glaring at me with so much anger that I was almost turned to puddle of Percy. Hm... That sounds like a good book name... AUTHOR GET ONTO THA-
Ahem. Anyways, behind the familiar choppy haired girl stood three other people that I knew too well.

"PERSEUS JACKSON!" Thalia screeched, causing me to cringe. Shoot, I activated her Percy you stupid sunuva- mode. I'm. Screwed.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? WAIT! YOU WEREN'T! PERCY! THE MIST HASN'T BEEN WORKING PROPERLY THESE PAST FEW DAYS, AND THEN YOU GO AND CONTROL WATER IN FRONT OF MORTALS, AND THEN GET ARRESTED!? GRR... I can't believe I'm a cousin to such an idiot..." Thalia ground out between her teeth. I rubbed the back of my head sheepishly, opening my mouth to apologize, but couldn't seeing as I was suddenly being hugged by the only girl in the four guests that were here. I awkwardly pat her back twice before being quickly shoved back.

"Heh heh, yeah. Sorry about that Thals," I said. I side stepped to get a full view of the ones standing outside, a grin stretched out on my face as two marched in my cabin as if they owned it, while a certain son of Hades lurked in the background.

"We were going to get onto you-" a tall, lanky red headed boy started as he smiled widely at me.

"But seeing as Thalia already did that for us, we don't see the need," finished a boy that looked exactly like the first, save a little bit smaller.

"Travis! Conner! Long time no see, how've you been?" I asked them, my worries lingering in the back of my mind as I focused on my friends.

"Well, we've definitely had better days," they chorused together, smirking. Rolling my eyes, I turned my attention back to the only one I haven't said anything to.

"Hey, Neeks! Looks like you're older than me both physically and mentally now, huh?" I asked perkily, getting an almost grin out if the grim- pun intended- son of Hades.

"You've always been a child," he said, causing me to stumble back clutching my chest as if I had been physically wounded.

"You hurt me, Neeks. You really do," I said, smiling loosely. He rolled his dark brown eyes jokingly, causing me to smirk.

"So, what've you been up to-"

"Other than being arrested, destroying national monuments, and almost causing the exposition of our entire existence, that is." Travis and Conner were smirking as my face turned sour at the last sentence.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" I mumbled. Nick rolled his eyes.

"Of course they'd like to know. That's why they asked." My jaw dropped, causing him to lift an eyebrow. Clamping my mouth shut with an almost audible click, I smiled grandly.

"I have taught you well in the art of Sass, my pupil," I said, bowing to him. That startled a laugh out of Thalia, before she slapped the back of my head.

"Stop mucking about, Coral Skull. We have a whole day of fun stuff to do that we spent almost thirty minutes planning! Well, most of that time was stopping these Idiots," Thalia pointed at Conner and Travis, who both did stupid poses, "from writing down stupid stuff that would get us arrested."

"Hey! They weren't stupid!" they claimed together, getting an eyebrow raise from me and the other Big Three Children. They glowered.

"Be glad we didn't get rid of all of your ideas," Nico said, smirking as he got two incredulous looks from Thing One and Thing Two.

"Um, excuse you!" Travis said.

"Our ideas were all amazing! You guys just picked the boringest ones!" Conner finished. An eye roll from everyone who wasn't a child if Hermes.

Laughing and joking, we made our way outside of my cabin, into Camp Half-Blood that was so empty. The air that was usually filled with grief was ignored completely as we walked towards whatever we were going to do that day.

Even though everything seemed alright, I couldn't shake the feeling that was in the pit of my stomach. Shaking my head, I decided it was the fact that I haven't had anything to eat in forever.
