Frank's POV

When I didn't answer she laughed. Hard. Before it made me angry, but now the anger wasn't coming, and I was relived. When I looked up at Jinx she had a sympathetic look and walked over to me. She put her hand on my shoulder and the anger drained away completely, there was still jealousy, but it's from sadness now. Jinx smiled,

"Better?" she asked,

I nodded,

She smiled again the faces Ares, "It's not nice to toy with your children's emotions"

I looked at Ares, my Greek aspect of my father, and scowled,

"I told you it would be fun" Aphrodite squealed, "just watching the triangle was fun enough, but the jealousy was a fabulous idea!" she said to Ares,

Everyone groaned, but I saw Hazel actually let out a sigh of relief,

"I thought you were changing then, Frank"

I smiled,

"Sorry I had to do it that way, Buddy, but you have to let all the emotions out to get the manipulation off" Jinx apologised,

"It's okay" I said,

She smiled, "now, hopefully you all know who I am" she said,

We all shook our heads,

"We thought that obvious, when Zeus kept asking" Percy said sarcastically

"Oh...I thought he was joking with how all the demi-gods here act... oh that is so annoying" she groaned, "the fates are so slow!" we expected a crash, earthquake or something, but there was nothing, "anyway" there was a bronze flash around Jinx and when she stepped out her hair was longer – just above her waist – and was now a beautiful bronze, she wore the same sheaf of armour as Sophia, but bronze, and a bronze staff twisted like a branch around a grapefruit sized violet orb at the top of it. "I am Jinx, Lucillia's Lieutenant of the Army" our mouths dropped, we had been talking – and criticizing – Lucillia's Lieutenant. "Now!" she stomped her staff on the ground, it echoed through the room "please tell me who you have seen Lucillia save"

"Leo, Hazel and Jason" Athena answered,

"Wow, they really are slow" she waved her staff and a similar screen to an IM appeared; only it was tinted bronze at the edges.

Lucillia was in the forest with Sophia. They were in a clearing wearing the same armour, Lucillia's was gold.

"You know the plan, Sophia?"

"Charm. Collect. Charm. Get out."

"Correct"

"Where are they?" Sophia asked agitated

Lucillia shook her head in amusement "and you wonder how why everyone knows you're a daughter of Athena?" Lucillia laughed

"Are you sure about this?"

"You're not getting out that easy" Lucillia laughed,

"Why can't you do it?"

"What are they talking about?" Percy asked Jinx, but she just smiled.

"You're not a virgin, Sophia" Lucillia laughed again.

I saw Annabeth and Athena's eyes go wide as saucers and Percy trying to hold in his laughter, but I think so was everyone else.

"Yes, but I have a boyfriend!"

"As do I" Lucillia retorted,

"But-oh I give up!" Sophia yelled
