(A/N: I'm pushing thru my stupid vaccine ache to give y'all a chappy as a thank you for helping me deal with @InkMasterr1 and their attempt to copy my story. It truly warms my heart to know that there are people out there who will stand by my side and come to my rescue despite not knowing my real name or face. I honestly don't know how to put my feelings into words, so, here's a funny chappy for y'all)
"They're dead."
"Nico, you can't just- WAIT, JASON?!"
"They're literally dead," Nico told Will, vehemently gesturing at Jason, Alex and Magnus. "I can feel it."
"Drop-dead gorgeous, you mean," Alex muttered, earning snickers from the rest of the demigods.
"Nico, not everyone's dead inside, we've been through this," Will admonished, massaging the bridge of his nose.
"No, not emotionally dead, like, physically dead. I can feel it."
"Neeks, look, I know Jason supposedly died, but right now, they're very obviously not dead-"
"Here's the thing," Alex grinned. "We kinda are."
Will's jaw dropped, while Nico crowed in triumph. "I KNEW IT- wait, how did you three escape from the Underworld?!"
"Not Underworld, Nico, Valhalla," I told him, grinning slightly as I waited for the chaos to erupt. "You heard of Valhalla?"
A series of cracks sounded as multiple heads snapped in our direction.
"VALHALLA?!"
"WAIT, THE NORSE GODS ARE STILL AROUND TOO?!"
"OH COME ON!!!"
"WHY?!?!"
"EVERYONE, CALM DOWN!!" Annabeth yelled. "We're gonna handle this like logical, reasonable people."
"Yeah," Percy nodded solemnly. "The birds do it, the bees do it, even educated fleas do it, so let's do it too. Let's all go hurtling into a sliding glass door and die."
Annabeth facepalmed while everyone else burst into applause.
"Oh come on..."
"JASON ALEXANDER GRACE."
Piper zipped in from absolutely nowhere, socking Jason in the jaw, which prompted the entire camp to rush into a haphazard single-file line to wait for their turn to punch him.
"It's like they've done this before," Magnus muttered thoughtfully.
"Because they have," Leo said, grinning. "When I came back to life. Long story."
Just then, Mr D strolled over, a bored look on his face, a can of Diet Coke in his hand as he surveyed the scene. "Oh, Jerome Gondor is back?"
"JEro- who?" Magnus asked, blinking.
"Oh, you must be Annie Bell Casserole's cousin, Margarita Chihuahua. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood or whatever."
Magnus' jaw dropped while Alex, Leo, Will, Nico and I burst into fits of laughter.
"That's not even close to my name, what the Hel...."
"I know what I said, Mango Cheese. Now, you demidorks better get the healers on standby for James Goomba over there."
"Got it," Will, Magnus, and I said simultaneously, nodding at Mr D, before grinning at each other.
"Wait, Magnus, you can heal too?" Will asked.
"Yeah," Magnus shrugged. "It's a thing I got from my dad, Frey."
"He glows when he does it," Alex snorted, "Like a glowstick."
Will and I exchanged an excited look. "SO DO WE!"
Magnus laughed incredulously. "NO WAY- hey, you know what this means?"
The three of us grinned. "GLOWSTICK HEALERS SQUAD!!!"
