Chapter 1: Reyna, again. Im just lazy
(Roman) Annabeth's POV:
Reyna landed smoothly with her pegasus, Scipio. I wonder why she would risk flying cross the Atlantic with him because even cross country is hard on Pegasi, unless you give them loads of sugar or supplement their energy loss by having a god or goddess lend them strength. Then I remember Reyna can lend others strength, thanks to her mother Bellona.
Scipio collapsed shortly after Reyna hopped off and Reyna looked saddened by the state of the horse and drew her dagger.
"Don't. He's just exhausted and needs rest" Percy said
"But the"
Percy then did his thing and removed the poison from the pegasus. "Is solved"
Reyna looked shocked at the level of control Percy had over poison. Well she should have seen him down there then she'd be horrified at the level of control he has over it. But I couldn't get mad at him for this as he used it to save a life and lessen one's suffering.
"Thank you Percy" Reyna said enveloping Percy in a hug. We may have told her a lot about Percy but not that he could control pretty much every liquid that isn't a metal.
Percy looked confused as if he didn't know what to do with Reyna hugging him. It's cute when he looks like that. His sisters looked confused about why Thalia and I weren't mad at him nor Reyna for that matter. But she was expressing her thanks for saving a loyal companion. So I wouldn't be mad about that.
"Uhhh you're welcome ra ra" Percy replied patting Reyna on the back like he didn't know how to handle this.
"So why are you here praetor" Jason asked
"Ohh besides the dreams about the statue being rescued and a certain trio being down under, the oracle of Delphi commanded me to bring the statue back saying for peace to last the leading daughter of war must return it effectively. While giving me a few other hints to me being the one such as Scipio here"
"Suppose to die" Percy asked
Reyna nodded sadly. "Don't worry. He'll stay with us till he can recover and make his way back himself" Percy said
"We don't have room in the stables" Leo said
"Remove the statue" I said
"Oh. Wait she's returning it now" Leo asked
"Afraid to loose your cuddle Nike" Jason joked. Thalia looked at her brother with pride like there might be hope for him yet.
Leo ignored Jason though.
"Who's going to go back with Reyna though" Thalia asked
"I'll go. Out of my siblings I'm the best with shadow travel" Nico said
"As will I" Bianca added, "as much as I'd like to continue on with my sisters returning the statue is important and I won't let my little brother risk screwing it up."
The hunters laughed and the older ones gave the poor boy and affectionate noogie. "Hey. Only I get to do that to him. He's my apprentice" Thalia protested than gave Nico a rough noogie that messed up his hair even more.
"Guess I'll go to. Mellie is due soon and I don't want to miss it" Coach hedge stated. "FAVORITE CUPCAKE YOURE IN CHARGE MAKING SURE THESE HOOLIGANS DONT GET UP TO ANY FUNNY BUSINESS" he yelled putting Clarisse in charge of making sure no 'funny' business goes down.
The Greek campers looked saddened while the legionaries were confused until it was explained to them who favorite cupcake is, since they got use to the satyr calling us all cupcake.
"It's settled then. Let's get them some food and get them prepared on their way" I said to which the campers, legionaries, hunters, and questers went off to help get them ready.
"Thalia why don't you get Percy to bed so he can rest. He still needs it and he just used his powers again" I asked
Thalia rolled her eyes and braced Percy taking him back to the ship.
I turned back towards Reyna, "all you need do is ask and Thalia and I will help you" I said to her. While her hugging of Percy may have been thanks for saving Scipio, there was more meaning behind it. Thalia and I saw it since we entered New Rome. She has the hots for our boyfriend and she's proven she's more than capable of handling herself given her solo journey here.
"I...I"
"Don't act like I can't tell nor can Thalia. We both knew since we've entered New Rome"
"Why didn't you say anything back then" Reyna asked
"We were seeing if you were worthy of his love and affection" I replied, "you've proven first that you could lead, and now you've proven you can survive and know limits" I told her. "Now all you need do is ask Thalia and I and we'll help you with Percy. His mother on the other hand outside of our control" I informed her
"Why"
"Thalia and I are already sharing his love. We know his love has far greater potential than that" I answered, "he has desires for a large family that will be together."
Reyna seemed to understand what I was telling her. She might be the third but she'd also likely not be the last. Plus if it is as I am going to predict well let's just say demigods aren't out of the question in the future, because both Percy and his mother recognize the importance of demigods unlike others *cough* Hera *cough*.
"Will you help me" She asked timidly and a bit embarrassed, "the love goddess once told me a demigod will never heal my heart"
"Lucky for you Percy is more of a hunter or god than demigod then" I teased her. "Though do know now. Thalia and I will also pursue you so you also have two demigoddesses trying to fix that little curse from the love goddess"
Reyna seemed relieved for the first time that I've seen her. Like a weight she's always carried has been lifted off her shoulders. "Come let us go see Percy before the others are finished getting everything ready" I said leading her off to Percy's room on the ship.
Line break:
"Annabeth" Percy said happily, "Reyna" he said confused. Thalia looked at me from Percy's chest and I nodded.
"Oh Percy. Reyna has a huge crush on you and doesn't know how to say it" Thalia said teasingly, much to Percy's and Reyna's horror.
"Wha...what" Percy asked shocked
"Reyna loves you sweetie and if you want her to join us Annie and I are fine with it. She's proven herself capable of sharing you with us" Thalia teased nibbling at Percy's ear.
"Thalia" Reyna hissed
"Oh sweetie. Percy is oblivious to girls crushing on him. You have to be direct with him about these things" Thalia explained, "he was raised by the hunt remember"
Reyna looked like she understood now.
Percy was still in processing mode. "So is he broken" Reyna asked
"No just processing" I said. "Broken. Well you should have been there when we explained sex to him"
Thalia laughed, "his face was hilarious"
"Was not" Percy argued back coming out of processing mode.
"So" Reyna asked
Percy looked at Thalia and I confused, "so what"
"By the gods Percy do you like her or not" I asked
"Well yeah she's beautiful strong and independent, but what about you two"
"By Chaos Thalia and are fine with her joining us you forest headed idiot" I exasperated, as Reyna was going through a whirlwind of emotions.
"Now apologize to Reyna for making her go through the whirlwind of emotions you sent her on" Thalia demanded from his chest
"Sorry Reyna for being oblivious and stuff" he mumbled out like a child after being scolded.
Thankfully Reyna saw that as cute or adorable and accepted his apology. "So what now" she asked
"Now" Thalia stated, "you kiss your new boyfriend, and two new girlfriends goodbye and promise us you'll make it back alive and lead the demigods to peace while we are away"
Percy looked on at Thalia in shock for being blunt, and so unroman that it would be hard for Reyna with her training.
Reyna, for all her credit, did brave the storm and kissed both Percy and Thalia before saying bye and promising she'll make it to camp. Then giving me a quick kiss and leading me out of the room.
Once outside she took a deep breath, "is Thalia usually like that" she asked
"If you mean that horny no. She's just. Well I think you know. Girl problems. She just gets horny from it and less reserved with her language"
"That's so not normal" Reyna said
"Oh I know. But Percy and I've gotten used to it and eventually you will too. But we all have duties to tend to first." I reminded her.
She turned to me and kissed me again, "thank you Annabeth. For helping and everything. I promise I'll make it back and pray that you and the other two do as well" she said before heading off.
"So" Phoebe said coming around the corner after Reyna left. "Is that a third sister in law we will be having" she asked
I just simply nodded and went back inside to Percy to stay with him,, while who knew what rumors Phoebe was spreading to her sisters.
