Sometimes, I wonder, What do people think of first... The consequence or their Action.

Narrator's POV

'Don't wake up~'

'I miss you'

"Ahhh!"

Percy woke up panting.

Sweat dripped from his face as he sat up in haste, His entire body sore from his usage of divine powers he knew nothing about.

His surroundings were a blur as he tried to recall

'What happened?'

As his eyes gained clarity, Along with memories of what happened, Percy felt a lump in his throat.

"Percy?"

He was in a makeshift tent using spare robot parts; beside him were his quest mates, the place smelled like oil and reeked of D feet.

Thalia, Grover and Zoe.

Percy noticed the look of relief that flashed through Thalia's eyes when he woke up; Her hands wrapped themselves around his neck; Grover visibly relaxed; Zoe Zoe didn't even look k up, lost in her world.

'Percy... Why couldn't I help you?!'

Thalia's head seemed to pin this one herself.

'Just like with Annabeth.'

"We didn't find her."

Zoe muttered.

"I should have known better than going against the Fates." She looked as if she had given up and instead blamed herself for not preparing for it.

"Fates."

Percy had found a blame... Fate.

His pain and regret now had a focus, Because of that, it turned to Anger.

Anger directed to fate because he didn't want to believe that he had no control over his fate.

Anger because the Fates had the audacity to tell them before taking someone's life.

His next actions justified his anger.

*Boom*

In a strike of lightning Percy vanished.

Thalia, who held him moments before he got struck, watched as white lightning danced around her palms; it felt like it was Percy's way of telling her not to worry about him; it felt warm.

Even though he left immediately he woke up, she didn't feel like he blamed her, She felt better with their almost nonexistent interaction, She decided to talk to him when he got back.

"Let's wait for him."

It was strangely Zoe who spoke.

Zoe could guess how Percy felt.

She knew that look.

Zeus had it himself, He had it for Percy when he first heard of Percy's existence.

It was the news of hearing of something outside his control.

In the skies.

*Boom*

"MOIRAEEE"

Percy roared into the skies enraged, appearing in a flash of white lightning.

The skies seemed to resonate with his emotions as clouds gathered around him rumbling with white lightning.
