Getting to the Empire State Building wasn't so hard get the special key from the front desk was the difficult part.

"Do you have a meeting?" The guy, Ted that was his tag said, asked me.

"I do! And if I dont there's going to be in about 10 minutes!" I shouted at him my fury wasn't meant for him but I just wanted the fucking key!

"Give me the key to the 600th floor or so help me gods when I get up there I will send my chariot horse down on you so hard!"

This got his attention. "Sir there is no-" and then he stopped I don't know what it was, the glowing from Will, the darkness from Nico, the growing seeds from meg or maybe it was the anger in my face that scared him either way he gave it to me.

"Have a good day sir." His dad in a quiet voice.

Man it feels good to scare mortals!

We got on the elevator. I put the key in the hole ha ha ha very funny no stop laughing and continue! And pushed the 600th floor button.

We stood quietly listening to today choice of elevator music which happened to be "This Girl is On Fire!" By Alicia Keys

"She's just a girl
And she's on fire~
Hotter than a fantasy
Lonely like a highway~"

I could feel my anger boiling over. It actually got to the point where the three with me in the elevator have to stand far away from me. It didn't work much though, they were still sweating.

"I can't believe he let me die!!!" I shouted.

"She's living in a world
And it's on fire~
Filled with Catastrophe"

I was mad and I'm not proud of It but....

I let out a blood curdling scream.
"AHHHHHH!!!"

I felt some of the suns flames appear on my head and shoulders but I was pissed.

"But she know she can fly away~"

"You good dad?" Will asked.

I glared at him.

"Okay, look I know your mad. Zeus screwed you over, he does that a lot actually. But, taking it out on others is not the way to handle your anger. Try thinking calm thoughts. Like that time you let Thalia drive the sun!"

"She crashed the bus." Nico and I said in unison.

"Or the time Leo gave you the Valdezanator!"

"I never got to learn all the cords."

"How about when you got to ride on a myrmeke that was fun! Right?" I could tell Will was running out of this to say.

"It was but then I got a bunch of campers sick and destroyed a few things."

"Ok I give up." He said and he plopped down near his boyfriends feet.

The elevator dinged and the doors opened up to Mount Olympus home of the Greek Roman Gods.

"Time to go have a screaming fest with Zeus." I said, at least trying to remain calm.

"This is gonna be great!" Meg said as buttercups popped up on her palm.

Oddly all my anger. Left my system watching her.

We moved on in Olympus.
