"It's ok, Nico. We'll get out of here soon," Jason said in an attempt to comfort the small child after a specifically harsh round of torture. Nico had long since stopped crying after the first week of the beatings. Now, he only cried when Jason attempted to clean his wounds, or when Galil, the guard, was drunk-angry and needed someone to take it out on. Those were always the longest and the worst ones.

"You always say that," Nico retorted as he moved closer in search of comfort. "but when will it happen?"Nico jerked upwards at Jason next words. "Tomorrow night. I've a plan, but we have to wait until tomorrow night... when the guards'll be asleep."

"Percy, I- Jesus! Can you not  eat each other's face where people can barge in?" The green-eyed boy blushed intensely. "Like you and Rey don't do the same." Thalia blushed this time around. The only person not pleased by this exchange was a Luke Castellan. He was only a bit upset thalia interrupted his Percy Time™. 

"Yea yea yea. Why did you come anyway?" The girl gave luke a light-hearted glare. To which he happily returned with added heat. "I came to tell you we found the island, but we've no idea how for how to get them off it."

Percy started moving towards the window before even finished speaking. "I've an idea. Your not gonna approve, but its an idea nonetheless. But we can't execute it now, it too-" He was cut off by a murderous scream that sounded terribly familiar.

His stare hardened into his infamous glare, as did his voice to match his stare. "We need to wait until the night." A shiver ran up and down Luke and Thalia's spine when Percy finally turned. Luke had only seen that look twice, Thalia... more than she'd care to say but one particular time stuck out to her. "When they're not expecting it." He stuck his head out the door, "Zhang, take us to the securest place on this island. And be sure nobody gets off this ship." When he looked back at the two, they exchange glances. "Then... we attack."

This was definitely the worst that Luke's seen of Percy. But not Thalia. No, no she's seen worse. Much worse.
