Percy sat at the kitchen table, happy to eat some actual food after so many years of having to eat flavorless food rations.
He watched in amusement as the others ran around, trying to clean up the house since they would be having visitors soon.
He could hear Jason from the other room, shouting and arguing with whoever he was talking to on the phone.
"Look, Devora! Just be happy I'm even giving you a warning. I don't give a shit what kind of problem you and Keigo still have with her! The kid wants to see her so keep it to your damn self!"
He heard a feint female voice argue back before Jason cut her off, his voice colder than before.
"I'm very well aware, idiot, no need to fucking remind me. Just get here and look him over. And don't you dare show any hostility to the kid cause I won't hesitate to beat your ass. Now get the hell over here."
He heard the same voice argue back but they were cut off. Jason must have hung up on them.
Percy felt a tap on his shoulder, making him flinch. He looked up and relaxed when he saw it was just Hazel. She smiled apologetically and held out the clothes that were in her arms.
"Sorry about that, I didn't mean to scare you. I called out your name a couple of times but you didn't seem to have heard me."
Percy blushed and took the clothes offered to him. "You're fine, my fault I wasn't paying attention."
Hazel laughed softly. "Jason's conversation must've been very interesting, I'm guessing."
Percy just blushed even harder.
Hazel simply patted his shoulder and sighed. "Now, why don't you go take a shower? I'm sure Keigo and Devora will be here soon."
Percy nodded and got off the chair, leaving the kitchen. Just as he was about to reach the bathroom, he heard Jason speaking on the phone with a different person.
"Hello?"
"Ethan!" Jason sighed in relief. "Thank God you picked up. Where's Haven? I've been trying to contact her but she isn't picking up her phone."
"Ms. Haven has more important things to do then to answer some dumb phone call from you, Grace." Ethan said coldly.
"Well, tell her that she needs to pick up that 'dumb' phone call," Jason replied sarcastically, "because another escaped and we need her help."
There was pause before Ethan replied in a much softer voice. "I don't think it's a good idea for her to come, she's having... issues, I guess you could say."
"What kind of issues? They can't be that bad."
"Look, Grace!" Ethan snarled. "She can't come, alright? Her powers are evolving and I don't think it's good idea for her to come unless you want a big mass of energy to surround your bunch of idiots!"
Jason let out a small 'oh and sighed. "Then what are we supposed to do? The kid is asking for her and we need updates on her plan."
There was moment of silence before Ethan replied in a softer tone. "I can ask Ms. Haven if we can bring you here, it will be a lot safer. But you better be on your best behavior, Grace. The others and I will not tolerate any disrespect towards her."
Jason clicked his tongue but agreed. Not long after, they bid each other goodbye and hung up.
Percy quickly went into the bathroom and closed the door as softly as he could before Jason came out of room that he was in.
Just as he took off his shirt, he paused, thinking about what Ethan just said.
'The others and I.'
Did that mean that there were more people like him? And if so, why were Nico and the others here instead with them?
