percabeth one shots :)

to stay that way for a long time

timeline: after the Giant War, everyone's at camp and Leo returns with Calypso to Camp Half-blood. I've always thought that Annabeth and Calypso would be able to become friends once Leo and her show up at camp. And so, this is my interpretation of their return and Annabeth and Calypso slowly becoming friends. 

Calypso's POV

It had been so long since Calypso was off the island. And just from the view of a flying dragon, she knew the world she once knew was drastically different. She leaned against Leo, closing her eyes and trying to keep her emotions at bay as they flew around what Leo said was the Greek camp, Camp Half-blood. And from the view in the sky above, she could tell how much it changed. There was always a place for Half-bloods to train, but before it was mainly a bunch of huts stacked up besides one another on the line of the beach. It also was in Athens and was definitely not called 'Camp Half-blood'. 

Festus, Leo's mechanical flying dragon, swoped over the camp and made his way to the beach, landing on the golden sand. The sand reminded Calypso of Ogygia, which made her nerves go haywire. She hadn't touched any other soil since coming back with Leo, and of course, landing a beach that reminded her of the prison she was once captive to did not make her feel very confident. Nevertheless, she trusted Leo. And she trusted that if this was where she was meant to be, then she was going to embrace it. 

Over near the forest, a group of teenagers rushed over to them. Leo yelled something that Calypso didn't really pay attention to, and hopped off Festus, offering his hand to Calypso. Taking a deep breath, she grabbed his hand and slid of the dragon's back, giving him a pat before following Leo. He was already sprinting towards the group, and instantly was given a hug by a Cherokee girl. She recognized the girl to be Piper, a close friend to Leo that she saw in a picture he kept in his pocket of all of his friends. 

Leo told her plenty of stories on their adventures back to camp. He told her stories about his time on the Argo Two with the rest of his friends, what he did when he got back from her island, the war they won, the cure he took so he could come after her after the war was won, and about his mother. He had three different pictures in his pocket; all folded, that he had shown her on their travels. A picture of all his friends while they were on the Argo, a picture of Piper, his friend Jason, and himself on a 'field trip' to 'the Grand Canyon' that she had never known about and that he promised he would take her to, and a picture of his mother. 

Calypso hugged herself as she walked out from behind Festus, who was now resting on the warm sand. Leo gave her his red bomber jacket, which she held close to her chest as she walked towards the group. She only recognized a few people from the picture Leo had shown her. One of them was Jason, who was wearing something on his face. And another girl with copper skin and blond hair, her eyes stormy and her arms crossed. Annabeth. 

She knew of Annabeth from Percy when he came to her island a few years before, and from Leo, who described her a warrior princess sort of character. But also, as someone who was sweet and kind, and tenderhearted, which made Calypso heart hurt for her. The second she made slight eye contact with Annabeth; it was like the girl's life flashed before her eyes. 

Calypso never really knew how she could describe her powers, sometimes she'd be able to see people's past, sometimes the future, sometimes she could her what people were thinking- it was hard to explain. But when it came to Annabeth, she saw flashing images of a young girl who was abandoned by her father, left to run away with a boy and girl who she had once seen in Percy's memories years ago, then her excitement when Percy was with her. Calypso also had the ability to feel things from specific memories- and all the memories of Annabeth's that were filled with Percy rang so much joy, then so much sadness as she saw Percy missing from Annabeth's life for a period of time.
