Anyone who knows Arya Jackson for more than five minutes knows her opinion of the world, and demigods not so fair place in it. Unfortunately, since the war Arya isn't that easy to get to know. To most she's little more than a legend.

The Aftermath

"What's the first thing you want to do when this is all over?" She asked.
"Put on the most comfy pair of pajamas possible, lay on the couch, and rot." He answered.

ACE WISHED that the grand victory held only positive emotions. Gaia was gone, the world and both camps were saved, the order of the world had been put back into place. Finally after six weeks of side-quests, failures, and sabotage, the crew of the Argo II had finished. It was all good, and for a few moments it felt that way.
Until Reyna solemnly came up to Arya and asked her where they should put the wounded and dead.
Then all the goods washed away as they entered into clean up mode.
Between the Apollo kids at CHB and the designated healers within the Legion, Ace wasn't needed but his help was more than appreciated. He moved up and down the hill determining who needed to be moved and worked on in a more stable environment and who could be saved on the spot.
More than once he had to recognize and call a death before asking some poor kid to come and move the body. He always tried to ask someone who didn't know the person very well, but Ace had no vague idea of that with the Greeks so he would just pray.
He felt selfishly lucky when he didn't come across anyone he was overly close with, but the mourning did not escape him. Many campers died on both sides.
His healing took up most of the day unfortunately.
Jason and Piper took most of the day to wake up, and when they did Piper was hysterical over Leo. Hazel and Annabeth spent the afternoon attempting to calm her down, but it was hard when they were also upset.
Frank and Reyna oversaw the organization of the Romans, working with Arya to understand the layout of the camp and where they were going to go from there. They also had a private predator meeting to discuss what happened.
Percy was out helping ferry the dead from the battlefield to their holding place for the burial rights that would happen tonight. He spent some time catching up with his friends and checking in with others.
Arya herself spent the time doing what she had a talent for. Being a leader.
She rode around on her hellhound, checking in on every single person and making sure they had what they needed and helping with the confusion on where to go. She sought out Ace more than once to ask the same questions.
