On the Argo II

The Seven and Coach Hedge were flying over the Mediterranean towards Nico, in hopes of getting to him before the pomegranate seeds ran out.

Percy was missing.

Annabeth was frantic after having lost him for nine months, and was desperately scouring the ship. Two hours after his disappearance he showed up again. Unscathed. On deck.

"Hey guys! I'm back!" Regardless of where they were in the ship, everyone spun in the direction of the noise.

Then there was a loud bang. And a snap. And then incoherent yelling. Then a brief silence. Then more yelling:

"If you ever do that again, I SWEAR TO THE GODS I WILL THROW YOU OVERBOA- what are you doing?" Despite the change in volume and ferocity, everyone on the ship heard it, considering they were all on deck or in the stairwell.

"Checking how far the drop is to see if it's worth it."

"Idiot." Annabeth muttered. Percy leaned down and kissed her cheek affectionately.

"I'm sorry I went without telling you. I did, however, tell Leo I was leaving. Blackjack showed up because there was a broken fishing net 10.45 nautical miles away. Terrorized dolphins, attacking orcas, would've caused huge issues later on. But- Wise Girl, why do you look murderous?" Annabeth turned very slowly towards Leo.

Said boy looked terrified.

"I wasn't listening! I was reprogramming my "Controller de Valdez!" Annabeth gave him that "excuse me?" look that everyone with common sense would immediately run from. And that he did.

"I CANT BELIEVE YOU. DID YOU NOT THINK TO TELL US!? I SWEAR I WILL MAKE PHOBOS AND DEIMOS LOOK LIKE PITIFUL KITTENS! COME BACK HERE!" It went on and on like that with Annabeth yelling and running, Leo running and yelping when a thrown object hit him in the back of the head.

Percy chuckled. War was coming, but this felt like peace.
