Busting the front door, they rushed around the lobby trying to find where the bow could be possibly concealed. Little did they know, Phobos wasn't a god with many tactics and so it's hiding place wasn't very 'hidden'.

"Um, you guys?" Emily and Nico turned around to confront the curly-headed boy, tilting her head to the side Emily gestured for him to continue.

Sighing, Connor turned around heading behind the front desk. He was surprised to find out there weren't any traps and that monsters hadn't suddenly appeared out of nowhere because obviously, that's not possible.

"It's right here." Crouching down he lifted some of the wooden planks that were completely moldy. Picking up the white bow, quiver, and arrows, he stood up with a grin on his face.

Nico looked at him with an unamused face, "Can't be that easy. It's impossible." Connor shrugged, "C'mon man! At least we have it? Can't be that bad right?" the boy continued grinning, making eye-contact with him, she smiled following the son of Hades outside the building.

After walking a few kilometers, nobody had made a move to break the silence, after a few more minutes, Nico broke it.

"How are we going to get back? It took us a few days to get here, and we used all of our mortal money on taxi drivers." Looking back at the two other demigods in question. Coming to a halt Emily brought her hand up to her mouth whistling three times as hard as she could.

She knew it probably wouldn't work, considering how far from camp they were. But she thought it was worth the try. "What d'you do?" Connor asked in confusion, as a smile made its way onto the girl's face.

"Emi did you actually- you were actually able to do it."

"What?"

"She's had the hardest time whistling, she was calling pegasi from all the way at camp." Nico finished. He smiled at her as she watched the flying horses land swiftly in front of them.

"Wassup, boss? I brought friends too, thought you might need 'em." The girl smiled, even though Blackjack was Percy's horse, he still let her ride him.

"Can you bring us to the Empire state building?" The three campers mounted the creatures, waiting for them to agree on helping them.

"Sure dude, I mean, you're in the middle of nowhere after all."

[...]

They landed the pegasi after a rather peaceful flight. Except for the fact they got attacked a few times. But ya know it's not that bad is it? Quickly running into the empire state building, they took at least ten minutes of their time to convince the secretary that they were in fact demigods and that they wanted to head to Mount-Olympus.

Soon, once it was dealt with, the three campers quickly headed into the elevator. Immediately, Emily clicked the elevator key that was assigned the number six-hundred. It was a boring ride for the three demigods. The entire transportation was quiet, Emily decided to break the awkwardness.

"They really need to change their stupid elevator music." She muttered. The two boys chuckled, agreeing.

The doors slowly opened to reveal the dazzling Mount-Olympus. Walking out, the campers followed the brick path, Connor quickly looked back, he thought Leo would probably be pretty curious as to 'WHY IS THAT ELEVATOR FLOATING??!?!!1'

The minor gods wondered what demigods were doing wandering around aimlessly around Olympus.

Well, the answer was pretty simple. They were looking for Eros' freaking house. They thought it would probably be pink or something since he was the god of love, but what do they find? Black, half of the entire house was black. Now don't get them wrong they loved black;

(even though Emily specified it wasn't even a color just a shade, Nico argued it was still beautiful no matter what the hell it was),

they quickly dropped off the bow ad quiver inside the abnormally large mailbox and quickly walked away.
