  Percy's POV

I sat at my computer looking at the screen scanning through all that is known about Order's contact. I started finding it hard to concentrate as my mind kept going to the look of horror that Annabeth had as she looked at me. I minimized the document and went to a file labeled Memories I opened it and the screen filled with photographs and videos. I clicked on the first photograph and it was a picture of Annabeth and I a week after we had started dating. I clicked over to the next one and it was another picture but of Annabeth and I in Paris on our one-month anniversary. I smiled remembering what we had done to get there. The next one was a video of Annabeth, Grover, and I reuniting after the Giant War. I was awoken from the trance that I was in when I heard a voice behind me.

"So you still do care about us." Grover said behind me.

"What are you doing down here?" I said closing the file and bringing the other file back up.

"I wanted to know if all of us were still going to Detroit." He said taking a step back after hearing the harshness in my voice.

"That depends on if all of us want to be with a psycho." I said looking at him.

"Okay. Percy you know that Annabeth is really sorry for what she did to you." Grover said still standing there.

"Well good for her." I said reading the report again.

"She's scared of you too." He continued.

"Good."

"Percy please talk to her she's getting destroyed." He said sounding concerned for her.

"Great! Now she'll know what if feels like to be me. Now she'll know how it feels to be destroyed so bad that you can't recover. Now she'll know why I do what I do." I yelled at him getting angry at him.

"So you'll talk to her." He said shaking and stepping back more and more.

"No! Now get the fuck out!" I yelled now losing it and throwing a knife at his feet.

He scrambled back and ran for the elevator while I continued throwing knives. A sudden burst of wind and thunder rippled and the ground started shaking as I yelled in anger.

Annabeth's POV

The ground started shaking violently and I knew that it was an earthquake, but as fast as it started it ended. I was scared and wandering what had caused the earthquake. I ran downstairs and Grover was sitting on the couch out of breath and calming down from something that had happened.

"What's wrong Grover?" I asked running towards everyone sitting around him."Nothing I was just in the elevator when that earthquake hit and it freaked me out." He said but I could tell he was lying.

"Is Percy okay?" Thalia asked.

"Yeah he said we are still going to Detroit." Grover said no longer out of breath.

Time Skip to flight to Detroit

"So how long will it take to get there?" I asked looking out one of the windows in Percy's jet.

"About an hour." Percy said.

"Percy can I talk to you?" I asked him unbuckling my seat belts.

"No. Now sit back down." He said growling.

"Percy do it." Chaos's voice said echoed throughout the ship.

"Fine." He said getting up resentfully and walking to the cargo bay with me.

"Percy I'm really sorry for earlier today." I started but got pushed against the wall.

"Listen Annabeth, I don't give a fuck about you, how you feel, or what you want me to know. You may think that I'm a monster but just know you created this. You created your worst nightmare from your best daydream. So you can stop. I don't care what you think of me or my methods because they work and I've gotten farther in life with them and without you." He spat as he pushed me against the wall.
