Human Within - Percy Jackson Story

Forgotten Place

Week later in hospital was only Cosmo. They were coming back to their normal life. Exercising, (this one was harder for Fred, his ribs needed A little more Time) eating and doing what soldiers do. Isabelle exchanged with Xagy and returned to Chaos. Addisians were still patrolling surroundings but they stopped coming out for ritual done at The sea side. Ugi and Ongi discovered that.

Meanwhile Chaos was more and more stressed. They barely saw him. He was travelling on different planets every day and didn't share with them.

This whole situation took unexpected turn when during dinner Micheal ran to them and said that Cosmo is awake.

They run there and walked into The room.

"I am sorry. If I only knew how it will end..."

"It's okey, Cosmo. You did just like I wanted you to do." It was Chaos.

"Good thing is that everyone is fine." Hunter added.

They reached nad of the room and saw Cosmo. He looked bad.  Really tired.

"How you doing, Cosmo?" Xavier asked and sat in The chair next to him. Surprising he was still higher than them.

"Quiet good I would say. Considering the stabbing and whole messing with my mind thing." They laughed. "What happened to your face?"

Fred smirked.

"Souvenir from Addo. Some of us brought few." Maus showed him his skin. Apparently after being struck by thunder red scar looking like thunder appear on you body. Third and last one with scar was Dragonfly. She had something like a burn wound in her forearm after being hit by light stream.

Yeah, and of course Cosmo with stab wound on his chest. That's one gonna leave a mark.

"I am sorry to end this beautiful reunion but we need to talk about something more important." Said Chaos. "I have some bad suppositions."

Cosmo looked down.

"You want to know what these creature showed me." He whispered.

"I think I know what she saw inside your head. And if I am right we can not leave it like this."

Tension in The room was growing with every second. Cosmo for first couldn't look at them but then he lifted his head. And he looked straight into Chaos eyes.

"Then I think your suppositions were correct." Cosmo's voice was strong without any expression. "It was Earth."

Fred didn't knew what happened after. Suddenly they were in strategy room talking about possible war. Charlie was standing and saying something about how many battalions are on a field and that only Black Squad and half of Special Squad are available. Force Task needed to stay close to Chaos planet to protect it in any case.

"It was our fault that we compromised Earth and we need to take consequences of this actions. " Fred felt like Cosmo was deep in the water. He almost didn't heard him at all. " We are going back there because they gonna need our help. All in favor."

After few seconds Fred realised that they were voting and he didn't raised his hand. He quickly followed but he was too slow.  Everyone noticed that.

"Fred..."

"No." He immediately protested. "I am going. I promised that I will help everyone in need." They didn't seemed sure about his statement. He hidden his face in hands. "Just... how many years passed by on Earth?"

"Five years since Battle of a Manhattan." Eclipse faced him. Fred knew that for him it will also be hard. Fred is a traitor and Eclipse was enemy once. They might said he was forgiven but Fred knew he was the last one on the list to gain it.
