Saving Time - A Caleo Story

Shaking Off 3x1

Calypso knew her theories could be crazy- even in the edge of insanity.

But she never imagined that they would be taken this well.

The only backseat from the entire conversation was when Rachel pass out upon seeing Octavius' doper- dopper-ganger? How did Leonidas have named him? Anyway, that was the only thing that had been prevented. Right now, she was with a sleeping Rachel, waiting for her to wake up and explain the whole thing while her mind was back at the meeting from before...

~FLASHBACK~

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE THE COUNCIL?!" Reyna practically jumped from her seat and yelled at her, making Calypso take a step back and unconsciously hiding behind Leonidas.

"It was just a theory..." She admitted, looking down. Not like she wanted to believe they were killing the world and freedom included.

"Reyna, calm down..." Dylan intervened, pulling her down. "Calypso promised to investigate this, I doubt she said this because she wanted to create a fight, right?" The last part was added as reassurance than anything else. Calypso saw Leonidas rolling his eyes at him.

"'Ata boy, Dylan." He told him.

"Enough is enough." Perseus stopped the fight that could be approaching before looking at her. "Calypso, please go get our new guest." She nodded, more to get away from the awkward tension than anything else and saw Ian still in his place, looking around. When his eyes set on her, he looked painful.

"I take whatever you said to them didn't go well...?"

"Just be honest and everything will be fine." She tried to reassure him, but the advice was more for her than for him. The second they both stepped into the room, Calypso saw Rachel gasp and roll her eyes inside, passing out, William seconds behind her to check her pulse. "That's the girl Leonidas was telling you about." She whispered to Ian who nodded. "Everyone, this is Ian Alexander-"

"You're sure he's not him?" Piper raised an eyebrow, interrupting her.

"I did the DNA and lying tests myself, Beauty Queen." Leonidas frowned at her but Piper kept quiet.

"May I say something?" Ian asked before everyone nodded. "Look, I understand you being wary of me, but I'm not who you think I am- besides, your friend here-" And here he pointed at Leonidas while saying so. "-already warned me what would happen if I do something stupid, so consider me warned."

"To be honest, I'm more concerned about the theories Calypso mentioned than the sudden double vision." Lang stopped the topic with that calm statement and everyone was back on focus. "Calypso, please explain." Suddenly, Calypso was very nervous and was looking around the room, analyzing the faces. Some were serious while other were angry.

"Yeah, well..." She cleared her throat and began properly. "When I saw the statue, I found it very weird that someone had carved the same angles- normally, busts and statues aren't completely perfect, but an approximation. But that made me think that I had seen Annabeth before." Here, Annabeth showed her surprise at the statement. "Which is why I asked Leonidas to go back to the machine to investigate-"

"Wait." Nico raised a hand, subtly eying Ian. Calypso shared a look with Leonidas and shrugged. "Please, go on..."

"I wanted to a writing that would fit my theory that someone from the past had been meddling before us... but found nothing."

"I doubt that if the Council had travelled back in the past and managed to convince people they were gods, they would keep that information to themselves..." William pointed out. Calypso nodded in agreement.
