and after waiting for a long time, they got into the plane where takeoff was a nightmare for Percy and Y/N. The only difference was that, while Percy was Zeus' number 1 enemy of the moment, Y/N didn't have the sympathy of the whole godly community. And the other is that Y/N was good at hiding her fear. Percy wasn't, which wasn't helping Y/N either.

A few hours later, the plane touched down safely at La Guardia. The local press was waiting for them outside security, but they managed to evade them thanks to Annabeth, who lured them away in her invisible Yankees cap, shouting, "They're over by the frozen yogurt! Come on!", and then rejoined us at baggage claim.

"If only that was true," Y/N sighed as she was being dragged out of the airport by Annabeth.

The four teens arrived at the taxi stand, where Percy told Annabeth and Grover to get back to Camp Half-Blood, take Y/N with them, and let Chiron know what had happened. They tried to protest, and it took Percy a lot of time and persuasion to make them agree.

Nonetheless, convincing Y/N was a difficult thing to do.

The girl scoffed and crossed her arms, "What makes you think that you're going there on your own?"

"I have to do this alone, you know?" He snapped back.

"Is that so?" Y/N sighed, irritated. "I don't know why I'm even asking you. I'm coming, whether you like it or not. Besides, I'm not doing this for you."

"Oh yeah?! Then why? Because ever since we met you, you have been complaining about how we dragged you into this and how you wanted to go!"

"That," Y/N paused. "It's none of your business."

Percy groaned and was about to say something, but before he could even pronounce a word, Annabeth intervened in the conversation, annoyed, "You know what?! If you're going to continue fighting like an old couple, Grover and I will go back and tell everyone the truth while the both of you go to the Empire State. Is that fine with everyone?" She looked at her three friends slightly annoyed.
