Annabeth's POV

It's amazing that we, Camp Half - Blood, with the help of the Avengers, managed to beat the Hunters! Finally our losing streak has been broken. Right now, we all sat in the mess hall, each of us already having given our offerings and happily eating our food.

Chiron, being generous, had organised an additional table where the Seven were permitted to sit, as well as anyone they invited over. Because we usually invite many other demigods to sit with us, the table was made bigger than the rest, meaning there was enough room for all the Avengers to sit with us and talk about what they thought about the demigod version of Capture the Flag.

"That was not what I expected it to be." Tony said, sitting down with his dinner and having made an offering to Hephaestus. The Avengers decided that they would make offerings to the gods of the cabins they were staying in, so it didn't seem rude and because they wished to learn more about the ways of the Greek.

Some, like Thor, felt uncomfortable about offering food to the Greek version of himself, seeing as it was weird for a god to be offering food to a god high above whilst he stood down here in what he called 'midguard'.

"Yeah, we really need to know what other strange things you guys do here in camp." Steve commented, sitting next to Tony and having already made his offering to mom. Eventually, all the Avengers had made their offerings, chatting and laughing with Percy's friends and family.

For those brief minutes, we demigods felt normal, which was really rare when you're a demigod, especially if you're Seaweed Brain and one of his friends. Me being his girlfriend, I was in the most danger, but under high protection. The closer you are to Percy, the more you are protected and the more you are in danger.

Sometimes I wonder how lucky I was to be Percy's girlfriend. Having been through so much, we were almost inseparable, but that reason is mostly because of these nightmares we've had of Ta- the Pit. That's why Chiron allows me to sleep with Percy in Cabin 3.

Which reminds me, since I wasn't there to comfort Percy during his nightmares, what had they turned into? Our nightmares would usually be memories of our time there, but for Percy, it was always about losing me. I'd have to ask him when we got ready for bed.

I also noticed, as I sat next to Percy during dinner, that he didn't really eat much. He ate a few minor things, a couple of chunks of meat here and there, but that would be it. Gods, he didn't even eat much of his dessert! Something is up with Percy to make him skip dessert; he always wolfs it down his throat, being the Seaweed Brain he is.

Something's up with Percy. And being me, I wanted to find out what it was.

Crawling into bed with Percy, I turned to meet his face on the bed, him straight away kissing my nose. I giggled before asking the question that had been on my mind since dinner.

"Percy, what were your nightmares like back at the Avenger's tower?" Percy stiffened when he heard my question. I called him by his real name, which meant I was being serious. He looked around frantically as I stared at him, willing Percy to give me my answer. Reluctantly, he let out some information.
