LUCIA HAD TO CALM PERCY DOWN BEFORE HE GOT TO LEO. She was afraid he'd throttle him the first chance he got. It was true Percy had every right to be upset, but Lucia got to know Leo over the past few months, and he didn't seem the type to purposefully sabotage a vital quest. Now Accidentally? well...

As Annabeth, Coach Hedge, and some others interrogated him upstairs. Lucia worked below deck, in the Sick-bay.

Considering she was the only child of a Medicinal god. Lucia was the ship's official medic. It was now her job to take care of everyone and make sure their injuries were healed. She wouldn't mind it so much if Coach Hedge would just stop asking her to look at the oblong rash on his back.

Lucia spent her time looking after an unconscious Jason, checking over his Vitals. The cut on his head was pretty bad but she bandaged it up and fed him Nectar. He got a nasty hit, but Jason was a warrior. He was going to be fine. She was sure of it as she checked him over. He was already looking better, and his heart rate beat steadily in Lucia's ears.

Piper had been extremely frightened. The daughter of Aphrodite stayed beside her the entire time she was working.  Lucia observed how Piper was with Jason and it was clear that they were important to each other. She knew they were boyfriend and girlfriend but honestly, sometimes they showed such little affection, Lucia would forget.

The Healer had to reassure Piper once more. "Jay is going to be alright his vital signs all seem normal. We're only waiting on him to wake up now. Just watch over him if you like." Lucia said squeezing her arm for comfort.

From outside the door, Percy called, "Sunlight, you there?."

Lucia looked at Piper one more time. She nodded goodbye. "Call me if he wakes up." She ordered and made her way out of Sickbay.

There Percy stood waiting for her. Lucia looked up at him, "Everything okay?"

He nodded, "Besides the ship being destroyed and us making an enemy out of a camp full of Romans? perfect." he said looking at her with a goofy grin.

Lucia rolled her eyes. She shoved him gently but was smiling from ear to ear. "Can you be serious?"

"I'm always serious I don't know what you mean?" He said, making them both laugh. He then stopped to ask. "How's Jason?"

"He's going to be fine." Lucia nodded.

"Awesome, that means I get to steal you away." He pulled her into his side, walking them to the staircase that led to the deck.

"I was gone thirty minutes max." She grinned, as she followed

"Thirty minutes too long."

The stairs creaked as they went up them. When they reached the deck Annabeth and Leo stood, their faces grim.

All around Lucia, the beautiful new ship was in shambles.

The aft crossbows were piles of kindling. The foresail was tattered. The satellite array that powered the onboard Internet and TV was blown to bits, which had made Coach Hedge mad.

Their bronze dragon figurehead, Festus, was coughing up smoke like he had a hairball. Lucia didn't know anything about Automaton dragons. But she figured something had broken which would explain why the ship was listing and shuddering as it flew, the engine wheezing like an asthmatic steam train.

Leo's heart stumbled when he saw Lucia. "Is Jason—?"

"He's resting," She reassured. "Piper's keeping an eye on him, but he should be fine."
