I threw an OC in here because I wanted to...

The green and grey met. Both were glossed with amusement from their small friend who was ranting on about how it was unfair that Nyssa got a mission involving fire and he didn't.
The girl next to rant boy rolled her eyes and elbowed him.
"Leo," she warned, her tone laced with barely hidden laughter.
"What, Calypso?" Leo snapped. "Is my nose on fire again?"
Grey snorted.
"No, Leo, you just won't shut up," she said. Green smiled.
"Percy, just kiss 'Beth and get it over with," Calypso grinned. A small girl in the back of the room giggled. Her red haired stood out against the grey wall. The boy next to her wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"Lils, you could not ruin the moment," he said. Lils elbowed him.
"Watch it, Mitchell, I could just accidentally burn you," she warned.
"Shut up," snarled a black haired boy at the table.
"Oh, lighten up DiAngelo," Lily snapped.
"Then you stop being happy, Jackson," DiAngelo answered in a dangerous tone. Percy looked up.
"Which one?" He asked. DiAngelo jerked his head in Lily's direction.
"She needs to shut her trap," he griped.
"You hush, Nico, and leave my girlfriend alone," Mitchell shot back.
Nico snorted.
"I meant hush because we have a location."

Lily pressed her back against the wall, willing the metal to heat beneath her fingers.
Her power flowed through the iron, until the wall was blazing with an invisible fire, or so it seemed to her attackers.
Lily looked over at the other person plastered against the dead end.
"Leo," she hissed, "we can go now."
The young man grinned like a maniac and the two bolted out of the small corridor.
-
Left. Right. Left, and then another.
Annabeth checked her directions again.
She would be at the cell soon. And she would have to pick the lock.
The blonde detested locks. She didn't know why, it just annoyed her.
Piper, Hazel, Frank, Bianca, and Jason need you, Annabeth.
The thought echoed through her brain, bouncing around her skull.
She reached her destination and found the door wide open.
They got here first.
-
GAIA. That's what they called themselves.
The name Nico hated.
They had taken his sisters.
They had taken his friends.
And they were going to pay.
-
The five huddled together in a freezing room. Metals walls seemed to press closer.
The blonde one looked around.
"Everyone got it?" He asked. The other four nodded and spread apart.
The blonde hit a button on the wall, a button that was supposed to call for assistance if someone was in danger.
The door flew open and the five ran out of the small room. Behind them, the room began to fold in on itself.
The choppy haired one sighed in relief.
"It worked," she said, surprised.
The girl with black hair grinned.
"I'm no Leo, but I can work a mechanic if I have to. It pays to hang out with the Hyper Pyro. I just switched the..." She trailed off when she saw the others staring at her.
"Okay, this way," the frizzy haired one said. The five took off again, leaving behind the destruction a button press had created.
-
They all made it back to the League of Demigod HQ with all limbs attached.
That, in the hero business, was itself an accomplishment.
This was attributed to the fact the Lily had NOT roped Nico's head off, or burned his hair off.
It also helped the Bianca and Hazel were back where they belonged.
They all were.
