"What the Tartarus!?"

Hercules heard Alex scream that fraze in a high pitch that only ment that she was surprised. He had only heard that once, and now he could say that something unpredicted happened. He ran faster to catch up. He was almost to the edge of the clearing, but he slowed when he saw Alex and Jonny, still not breathing hard at all, stare in awe just outside the cover of the brush. Deciding it would be better for him to stay invisible, the son of Ares stuck to the shadows, staying hidden in the dark tree line as he circled around to find out what was so surprise.

He didn't expect to see what he saw.

Jason had a knife to Elisabeth's throat, his attention on Alex and Jonny, pinning her to the tree so that she couldn't move. Elisabeth was just staring at the demigod of Zeus without even a bit of fear, but what he saw was a transformed version of the teenager he had fought earlier that day. She had become her old self, a soft moonlight glow making her seem almost godly as water droplets in her hair glimmered like the stars in the sky. There was nothing to tell that she had been in the hospital. Not a single sign.

"Mr. Grace!" Alex called as she ran over, Jonny tailing right behind her. "What are you doing!? That's Elisabeth!"

"No it's not!" Jason screamed, not removing the knife from the scared child of Aphrodite's neck. "She can't be!"

"Mr. Grace, we don't understand." Jonny said, his spainsih accent strong and thicker than usual. He only had that when he was legit trying to take someone off guard. There is going to be a fist fight very shortly, Herc knew that. "What makes you say that?" He was speaking slow, he was trying to make him calm down. Good plan, if Jason couldn't fry a person with a lighting bolt. Can anyone say "Crispy Fried Guatemalan BBQ"?

"Look at her!" Jason shouted, indicating her regenerated features. "She didn't look like this before!"

"Then what do you think she is? A sea Nymph? A changeling? Jason, think! What if there is some other explanation than 'monster'." Alex said in her bored tone, crossing her arms over her greasy camp tee shirt with her hip cocked to the side. "Let's bring her back to the Big House and see what centaur man says."

Jason sighed. "Fine." He growls and let Elisabeth go, much to Herc's relief, and put away the knife. "Alex, Jonny, take her. I'll meet you there... I need to get Nico and Percy ready for this bombshell." They nodded, taking Elisabeth by the arms and starting to march her back the way they came. Herc watched as Jason jumped into the air and took off like a blond version of Superman as he took off flying. Hercules waited till he was completely out of sight before running through the underbrush and trees to Alex and Jonny.But not before grabbing the shirt hanging off the tree. Gods only know how Henry would react if he saw her just in that bathing suit.Actually, he had a horrible idea how.

Herc just didn't want to be their for that.

"Please!" Elisabeth pleaded, looking between her two friends with desperation in her eyes. "I AM Elisabeth! Alex, you told me that Jonny got you spiked heels, chocolates, and two dozen roses the last time you two fought because you two were arguing about him cheating on you with someone! And really, he was meeting me to get date advice!" Jonny laughed a little and she arched an eyebrow. "What?"

"We know you're Elisabeth." Alex said in a peppy way, leading her off the trail. "Only Elisabeth wouldn't be scared of one of the Big Three Demigods. And damn girl, teach me your secret on how the hell to do this transformation thing! You look good!"

Elisabeth smiled a little as she relaxed in their arms. Tonight was just too weird, and good thing that she had weird friends who found this cool. Cause right now, after the initial shock of it all, she was freaking out. And she had lost her favorite over shirt, which was really depressing. That was her new favorite shirt.
