Broken || A Riordan Universe Story

Frank POV~ "Bro, Since When Do You Use Intelligent Language?"

Disclaimer: This Timeline is set after the Hammer of Thor. Therefore Annabeth already talked to Magnus about Percy, and she has informed Percy about Magnus. BUT they didn't meet yet, like in Ship of the Dead. (I know that it isn't right technically, but it makes the plot flow better).

     How could I let this happen? My Hazel, my girlfriend was gone. I just made a proclamation of love to her, and now she was no where to be found. I felt like Aphrodite was laughing in our faces.

     Who took them?

     Are they...

     No. No. No. That isn't a possibility.

     I was currently in the infirmary next to Percy and Jason. I twisted my ankle while fighting last night. I was working on fixing myself, after being in constant fear of death. That piece of wood ruled over my whole life. Now I was free of it. But Hazel was ruling over my heart now. I needed her back. I needed her.

     The infirmary was overcrowded. Luckily no one died, but there were several severe injuries. Percy was sitting up, his head in his hands. He looked up at us.

     "What do we do now?" He asked

It was a valid question.

"I have no idea." Finished Jason, taking the words right out of my mouth.

Right at that moment Nyssa ran into the infirmary, out of breath.

"Leo-" she gasped, "Leo's back."

"What?" Asked Percy as Jason rolled off of his bed and onto the floor. "Dude you've got to stop doing that. People might talk. Jason and The Floor: A Saga. Piper's gonna be jelly."

"Wait a second, Leo is in Camp?" I asked.

"Yes." Nyssa replied.

"Leo Valdez?" Jason questioned.

"Yes, you knuckle heads." Nyssa said, rolling her eyes. "That's what I've been trying to say for the past five minutes."

"But Leo's dead." Said Jason.

"Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine." Percy mumbled.

"Wait!" I started, as realization hit me. "The Physician's Cure!"

"Oh yeah. He must've had it." Percy stated. "That explains the whole debacle."

"Debacle?" Jason asked, "Bro, since when do you use intelligent language?"

"Since Annabeth." He sighed. It was as if Percy was hit by nostalgia.

"Well, lets go see if Valdez really is alive." I said.

We jogged out of the infirmary, totally forgetting our injuries for the moment since they were almost fully healed.

     There he was.

     Leo Valdez.

     I remember when I used to be jealous of him because of Hazel and Sammy. Then I realized that was petty, and I learned to respect him as a teammate.

He wasn't grinning. That seemed so un-Leo. When he saw us he smiled, a very small smile. Right as Jason ran over, tackling him to the ground.

"Why. Did. You. Leave. Us. You're. Such. An. A*s." Said Jason, between punches.

"Bro, you took the words right out of my mouth." Percy laughed.

After Percy and I managed to pull Jason off of Leo, me, being the civilized person I am, I shook his hand and pulled him into a hug.
