Cabin 13

19| Hazel's Morally Boosting Amendment

They all gasped!

It was a short, quiet, unexpected, surprise to them all, except or course Percy, Will, and Nico, who had been otherwise occupied when the previous conversation had gone down. 

But to rewind a bit earlier, when Percy had snuck away to find Nico in the attic, everyone else had gathered around one of the tables in the dining hall, and that's when they had a meeting about the recent events.

Piper quickly explained everything to Hazel and Frank, since Reyna had neglected to fill them in. 

"All Percy's memories of Annabeth are gone. Since he relied on Annabeth to be reasonable he had to rely on himself only to follow his gut and his heart. And now he can't realize he's missing logic."

Hazel frowned, "Can't?"

"Yeah it's like we went back in time and took out Annabeth from Percy's life, and like a butterfly effect, we have a different Percy. Like, Jackson 2.0!" Leo piped in. "Like a Percy from a different dimension!"

Piper and Jason shrugged, "Yeah, pretty much."

"Oh, that's so sweet, you're calling him 'Jackson' now, as to preserve Percy's memory, and you no, not hurt his image as a great guy," Hazel said, squeezing Frank's arm, who nodded.

Piper frowned, "Well no,  actually that was just Leo. "

Hazel frowned, crossing her arms, "Well, I think it's a great idea. To morally preserve Percy and at the same time remind us all Percy's not himself, and we can't expect anything less."

They all looked at each other before coming to an agreement. 

"That seems reasonable," Reyna nodded.

"I thought it was odd, Percy seemed so crude, back up on the hill when we tried to greet him," Hazel frowned.

"Wait, were you serious about him throwing us in the lake?" Frank turned to Leo, looking baffled.

Leo smirked, "Jackson 2.0 is more of a hot head then even me," the tips of Leo's hair lit on fire, to exaggerate his point. "He's thrown a couple of people in the lake today, and actually looking back they were all war gods' kids..."

Frank eyes widened as Jason punched Leo in the arm, "Shutup," he said, shaking his head."

"But we are agreed, right? In sending a quest to save Annabeth?" Reyna raised her brow.

Leo frowned, rubbing his arm, "Uh, yeah could you explain that one more time? Annabeth's alive? "

"Nico saw her in a dream, she's still alive, barely, in the underworld somewhere."

"Right, when exactly was this?" Jason asked, with a hint of anger vaguely showing, "Nico never anything anything to us."

"Yesterday," Reyna frowned, "Where is  Nico? I didn't see him when we arrived." 

Jason instantly spun around, jumping off the bench, "Crap! He ran off after his fight with Will!"

Hazel's eyes widened, "Fight?"

"Yeah, yeah. Umm, fill you in later? Right now we have to find him," Jason waited for Hazel to nod, before assuming the worst, "What if he went to the underworld by himself?!"

''Nah, he definitely didn't do that," Leo shrugged.

Jason gave him a concerned glare, "Who knows what  he plans on doing?!"

Leo smirked, "Calm down, Mama Bear. He's right there," he said pointing at Nico who was running to the Big House with Will right on his tail holding a medic bag, "Wait," Leo frowned, "isn't that the doctor guy he just had a fight with?"

Jason, without hesitation, ran after them, soon followed by Piper, then Leo, and the Romans. Which leads us up to about the present. Reyna was quick to wonder if the vision could be a message from Annabeth or a vision of the future. 

So she asked what she'd called him: Jackson. It couldn't be a coincidence...

Did that mean they would save Annabeth? Does that mean Annabeth goes rogue and kills Jackson? Do they never return Percy to normal? All these questions and more ran through each of their heads as they gasped.

And now that you're filled in we can continue with the story...

They gasped. Leo laughing in disbelief.
