It had been two hours, Hades paced back and forth in the throne room in the underworld.  Then, Apollo flashed in.  

"Uncle, he is all bandaged up.  Oh my, I forgot I'm not supposed to come here," Apollo groaned before flashing back to his palace.  Hades took no time to go to Apollo's palace.  

"Thank you Apollo.  I will take it from here," Hades said, looking at the sleeping Percy, thankfully, his mask and hood was still up.  Apollo seemingly wanted to argue, but decided against it.  Hades picked up Percy gently, then flashed to his palace.

Persephone immediately stood up and asked, "How is he?"

"He is resting, he should be up in a while," Hades said.

"My lord, Nico is requesting a visit with you," Alecto said, bowing.

"Please bring him to his room," Hades told Persephone.  She picked Percy up carefully and put him on his bed.  She was happy that Percy was using the drum set.

"Nico," Hades said.

"Father," Nico said.

"What do you want to talk about?" Hades asked.

"I just wanted to see how Dark Angel is doing," Nico replied.

"He is way better now.  About your training, I believe you have gotten better throughout the weeks, so you won't need.  I also wish that he can get some rest," Hades said.

"Who is he actually?" Nico questioned.

"That is something for him to answer yourself," Hades said.  Suddenly, a boom of thunder sounded.

"Sorry son, I need to go now," Hades said apologetically.

"Alright, see you father," Nico said.  Hades then flashed to Olympus.

"What is it, brother?" Hades asked.  He took a seat on a stool, he saw Chiron there.

"According to Chiron, Camp Half-Blood was ambushed by monster and there was a figure.  Dark Angel was there to save them, am I right?" Zeus asked.

"Correct," Hades said.

"I wish to ask him a few questions now," Zeus said.

"I'm afraid that is not possible," Hades said.

"Why?" Zeus asked, eyebrow raised.

"He is now unconscious with injuries.  He had fought three battle today, saving my wife, helping me and saving camp,"  Hades said.  All they Olympians are shocked how much a boy could do.

"Alright, we'll wait here until he wakes," Zeus said.  Immediately, sounds of protests were heard.

"Silence!  You are free to bring things to do, Hermes will be the only one to resume his duties, as well as Apollo and Artemis.  Only in the morning for Apollo and night for Artemis," Zeus ordered.  Hades went back to his palace to wait for Percy.
