Legacy of Asgard

Reunited

Percy gazed down at the couple dozen swords or spears pointing menacingly at him from the ragged group of Greek demigods but his eyes were focused on only one of them. He stared into the electric blue eyes of the girl he had only met one other time and hoped that saving her life once would be enough to gain her trust.

Thalia's gaze was piercing as she looked at Percy. She hid her confusion as his words sunk in. After a moment though, they widened and she looked at him questioningly.

"Perseus?"

Percy's image shimmered for a second giving Thalia a look at the face she had met briefly a couple years earlier. Her eyes widened before the Greeks turned alarmed; they stepped closer, their weapons inching there way closer to his body.

"Stop! Stand down." Thalia said sternly without taking her eyes off him.

Her words clearly carried a lot of weight as the Greeks reluctantly stepped back and lowered their weapons while still keeping a watchful eye on this unknown demigod and his companion.

"Why are you here Percy?" She asked with a small bit of hopefulness in her eyes.

Percy gave her a small smile, "I'm here to help and I brought some friends. But we need to talk, in private."

Thalia slowly nodded, "Okay, we've set up in the Hilton Hotel. We can talk there." She said before looking at her fellow Greeks, "If you have the energy, go reinforce one of the other groups. Everyone is to gather back at the Hilton once the fighting ends for the night. Annabeth, I need you to come with me."

The demigods all murmured their agreement before the majority, those who weren't injured, took off to help their fellow campers while the injured and some of the Apollo campers helped get the wounded back to their camp. The fallen campers were gathered up and brought back as well for a proper burial when the war was over.

Thalia gestured for Percy to follow as she and a familiar looking grey-eyed blonde led them away from the destroyed bridge and into the city that will still littered with snoozing New Yorkers.

As they approached the five star hotel, Reyna put a hand on Percy's arm to garner his attention.

"What about Frank and Jason?"

"I would like to speak to Thalia first. It will be easier if I explain everything before we get to that."

Reyna nodded but looked unsure. She knew how important meeting Thalia was to Jason and if he found out they waited before bringing them together, he would be furious,

Percy noticed her expression, "Or, why don't you go grab them and lead them back here. I will talk with Thalia and then by the time you return, I should have explained what I need to."

Reyna was silent for a minute as she thought before she gave a stiff nod and veered away from Percy and the two Greeks, heading off in the direction of the Park Plaza Hotel to find the two fellow Romans.

"Where's she going?" The blonde asked. She looked at Percy with a calculating gaze as if she was trying to figure out the best way to take him out if the need arose.

"To gather a couple friends. We sent them to the Brooklyn Bridge in search of demigods. They should be waiting back at the rendezvous point by now though."

Her eyes widened a bit, "We have campers there, won't they try to help them fight?"

"No." Percy said bluntly. "We are under strict orders to survey but not interact."

Thalia raised an eyebrow, "I see you followed that order well. I assume you'll explain why you look like a different person than when we met, right?"
