Jace didn't want to be around Thalia Grace any longer than needed.

She was scary and her eyes looked way too intimidating. Yes, he already figured out that Jason and Thalia were siblings but that still didn't remove the shock he felt after his thoughts were confirmed. They both had...some similarities in their appearances and now that he thought about it more, their personalities were somewhat similar as well.

Both were leaders. Jason took the role of the leader of their own little group and Thalia took the same position for the hunters. Also their faces had the same kind of features. sharp jaw, chiseled noses— they had the same mom that would be a given. Gods he should focus on something else now before he tripped or embarrassed himself.

"She's too pretty to be Jason's sister." Leo whispered into his ear, the kid had pulled Jace down by his shoulder and even had to stand on his toes to reach him better. Jace was glad to have a distraction from his thoughts and decided to indulge Leo and whatever thoughts the kid had.

"Are you calling Jason ugly?" Jace was teasing, but Leo hadn't realized that from the look of panic that spread across his face. The boy looked at Jason and then back at Jace with wide eyes.

"No!" He whisper yelled, "I'm just saying...she's too pretty to be Jason's sister..." Leo looked around as if trying to figure out a way to say whatever he was wanting to say. "Like...you could be Jason's brother—"

"Are you calling me ugly?" Jace questioned before Leo could even finish his sentence.

"No!" Leo yelled a tad bit too loud and the others around them all stopped everything they were doing (which wasn't a lot considering Piper was talking with Jason and Thalia was talking with her hunters)to look at the two.

Leo seemed to get flustered at the attention but shook it off and also shook his hand in a way to signal that the show was over. There was no show though, he was just too embarrassed to say anything with the others visibly listening.

"I'm not calling you ugly. I'm just saying you look like you could be related to Jason more than it looks like she could be." Leo was back to whispering and pulling Jace down to match his height.

"I'm not related to him. Even if we have similar names and we're both blonde and we're both tall...okay, maybe we do kind of have similarities, but that doesn't mean we're related in any way!" Jace didn't like the thought of secretly being related to Jason in any way shape or form! Rocky apparently didn't have any siblings. But...Rocky's mom apparently had a lot of siblings that he'd never even met...could Jason actually be...?

No.

No way in hell.

Jace would know if he was related to Jason. Jason didn't have freckles and every one of his family members no matter how distant, had freckles.

For a minute, Jason and Thalia faced each other, stunned. Then Thalia rushed forward and hugged him.

"My gods! She told me you were dead!" She gripped Jason's face and seemed to be examining everything about it. "Thank Artemis, it is you. That little scar on your lip—you tried to eat a stapler when you were two!"

Leo laughed. "Seriously?" Hedge nodded like he approved of Jason's taste.

"Staplers —excellent source of iron." Jace wanted to mock Jason about that, even if he was just a child then, why the hell did he try to eat a stapler?

"W-wait," Jason stammered. "Who told you I was dead? What happened?" At the cave entrance, one of the white wolves barked. Thalia looked back at the wolf and nodded, but she kept her hands on Jason's face, like she was afraid he might vanish.
