The Last Stand

Prologue

Percy opened the door to the infirmary of the Argo II and gave a small smiled "Hey, how are you? Piper said you wanted some company."

Annabeth shrugged "A little company would be nice, it sucks being stuck in here. Boring enough to make you go insane, looking at the same walls day after day, forced to stay in this bed like I have some fatal disease."

He chuckled and walked over to her bed "Well you do have a broken leg."

"Still! I mean is it too much trouble to at least bring me a book or give me some blue prints?"

"And you expect us to lay even a finger on your stuff? Ya, us guys would like to remain guys."

Annabeth huffed "What about Piper or Hazel?"

Percy smirked "They would like to keep their hair on their heads and not go bald from a shampoo accident."

"Okay, for one Henry was the one who touched my stuff when I specifically said not to."

"Aphrodite threw a fit."

"Well it's her own fault she conceived that drag queen." Annabeth muttered.

This time Percy laughed "Ya, I guess so. . . so you want some of your stuff?"

She nodded and Percy smiled "Promise not to turn me into a girl afterward?"

Annabeth smirked "If I did that then we wouldn't have a future and we've already made plans to go the collage together, not to mention I love you so I promise. But if it were anyone else, Seaweed Brain, then I couldn't be so merciful."

"I'll be sure to warn the others then," Percy walked toward the door. "You know, I think your time trapped in here is making you a little aggressive."

"Then that should be motivation to get me out."

"When you leg's healed, Wise Girl."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon Percy came back with some of her stuff. Some books and blue prints, along with a laptop Percy had given Annabeth as a gift, it designed specifically for an Architect program (Leo had been the one to design the laptop and the program).

"Here you go." Percy sat on the edge of her bed. "What do you want first."

"My laptop please."

He handed Annabeth her laptop while she scooted over onto one side on her bed. She patted the spot next to her with a smile. Percy crawled over to her and sat down beside her, Annabeth leaned into him while she flipped open the laptop "Thank you for this by the way."

"You're welcome, anything for my Wise Girl." He wrapped his arms around her. "I just wish we knew why the ambrosia and nectar aren't working. It's odd."

"Incredibly odd, but I could be due to the fact that it was broken by a giant. Gaea could be in the influence."

"Maybe so, but--."

"But at least it's working a little, I mean it's healing faster then it normally would if I hadn't taken ambrosia and nectar."

"True," Percy sighed. "You know, maybe I can get you out of here, tomorrow morning I can give you a piggy-back ride around the ship."

Annabeth stared at him in shock "Wait, you mean it's not day yet?"

Percy raised his eyebrow "Annabeth, it's one. You told Piper to come and get me at midnight."

"Oh my gods, I am so sorry! I thought that it was twelve in the afternoon!" She groaned. "My clock is totally off."

The son of Poseidon smiled and buried his face in her neck "It's no problem, I don't mind. Besides, I can spend more with you."

"Still, you're tired. Sleep."

"I'm fine, I was actually awake when Piper came and got me. I have a nagging feeling, it's not a bad one, but not exactly a good one either."

Annabeth frowned "I wonder what it is, is the feeling anything you recognize?" 

"No, nothing that I  recognize  . . . well it is similar to the feeling when I control water."

"Interesting, I wonder what it is about."

"As do I." Percy muttered and yawned. "Well I guess we will find out soon."

Suddenly Leo burst through the door, sweaty and panting "Uh, guys--?" He stopped sort. "Am I interrupting something?"

Percy looked up "No, what is it, Leo?"

"We . . ." Leo sighed "We have a huge problem."
