A.E.'s addiction to danger

You walked up the hill. Camp Jupiter was supposedly on the other side. You and the rest of the team had been walking for four days straight, taking an hour or so each day to sleep.

You were completely exhausted. Halfborn carried A.E., since she weighed less than a feather, and everyone else was panting.

"Highway." You said, pointing at the roads that crisscrossed in front of you.

"It's on the other side, look." Magnus pointed at a tunnel and sure enough, two kids were standing guard.

"Down you go," Halfborn said, setting down A.E.

"What're we waiting for?" Alex asked.

"Nothing, I guess." Magnus said. He started walking to the edge of the highway. The rest followed.

"We need to stop traffic." Samirah said, thinking hard.

"I can pretend to get hit. I have a high pain tolerance and no one's gonna be smart enough to tell the difference between this burn," she gestured to her shoulder, "and what happens if a car hits it. Halfborn could throw me, Samirah could fly and stop the car, and it'll cause a major traffic jam."

"A.E., you're a genius." You said.

"But, I'm pretty sure Halfborn has a higher pain tolerance." Alex pointed out.

"Considering his size and that he has more experience, Halfborn should be the one to be pretending to get hit by a car, just in case our plan backfires and he actually gets hit." Blitzen added.

"But, I'm 12. He's, like, 20. I'm cuter, people will stop to look at me and be more, I dunno, distracted than if they hit a twenty year old." A.E. said. "So, toss me."

It didn't work.

When Halfborn threw her into the road, he used too much strength and flew her into the wrong lane. Samirah wasn't fast enough, and A.E. got hit by a car.

You started panicking. "What if she dies?!" Your breathing quickened and you almost passed out.

"Don't worry, Y/N," Magnus assured, " and even if she does we'll make sure she makes it to-TJ! What're you doing?! You're gonna get hit!" He shouted. TJ had ran across the road to get A.E.

"Come on! We've gotta get across the road!" Samirah said, ushering us to the other side of the road.

The cars around her and on the road in general stopped, and T.J. went out to go get her while the rest of you snuck around and made it to the tunnel. T.J. came back holding an unconscious, or almost unconscious, A.E. who muttered random things like 'Envy, don't die on me' to 'aww, Riza is Mustang's queen, how adorable!'

She regained consciousness pretty quickly and started whimpering. She had a serious road burn on her left leg.

"Let me see," Magnus said.

"In your f*c- Frappuccino-in' dreams." She said. You gaped at her. She was so shy. And then BOOM! She became someone else. It worried you, but you caught Magnus's eye. He was looking at you. You blushed and looked away.

By that time, two kids, the ones who were guarding, had run over. Their helmets were off and you could see them clearly.

There was a girl with reddish-blonde hair, light green eyes, and a whole lotta freckles. She looked about A.E.'s age, but you couldn't be sure. From the neck down, her and the boy were in armor. The boy had neck length hair, slightly dark skin, and forest green eyes. He looked about your age.

"Are you the Norse demigods?" The girl asked.

"Yeah. I'm Y/N." You introduced. A.E. mumbled something about ducks with tattoos.

"Kirsten. Kirsten Duncan. And that's Cori Stewart." She said, looking at the boy who was talking with Alex.

"Do you have an-" You couldn't finish your question.

"Magnus! Don't touch me!" A.E. shrieked. TJ, Mallory, Halfborn, and a bear were struggling to hold her down. Samirah was coaxing her.

"Ummm, do they need help?" Kirsten asked.

"No, they'll get it." You said as A.E. let out a string of cuss words.

"You cuss more than Mallory!" Halfborn exclaimed.

"Should we be helping?" Cori asked.

"I think they've got it." You said.

You, Kirsten, and Cori watched them struggle for about five more minutes.

"Done!" Magnus shouted and the rest scrambled back.

"I want to see your manager!" She joked.

"Where'd you find her?" Alex asked.

"She was adopted." You said. A.E. glared at you.

"We should get you inside of camp." Kirsten said, "Come on. The Greeks are already here."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were amazed as you walked through New Rome, or Camp Jupiter. Eventually, you made it to a large building. 

"In here," Cori said, walking into the building, Kirsten beside him and the rest of you following behind.

There were so many people. You squeaked and ran behind Magnus.

"They're dead," one boy noted. He looked about your age too. He wore an aviator jacket, a skull t-shirt, black pants, and a black skull ring. He was pale, and had black hair.

"That's what I said!" A.E. said, throwing her hands up in the air.

A girl with dark skin, frizzy hair, and gold eyes walked up to you.

"I'm Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto and praetor of New Rome," she said, holding out her hand.

You stepped out from behind Magnus and shook her hand.

"I'm Y/N L/N, daughter of Loki, umm...I don't have a cool title," You said. 

Hazel giggled, then introduced all the people in the room. "That's Raven Rogers, Greek, daughter of Apollo. Nate Carrols, Greek, son of Hectate. Jason Grace, Roman, son of Jupiter. Piper McLean, Greek, daughter of Aphrodite. Nico Di Angelo, Greek, son of Hades. Leo Valdez, Greek, son of Hephaestus. Percy Jackson, Greek, son of Poseidon.  Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano, Roman, daughter of Bellona. Annabeth Chase, Greek, daughter of Athena. Frank Zhang, Roman, son of Mars. Will Solace, Greek, son of Apollo. And I presume you've already met our two Romans, Kirsten, daughter of Ceres, and Cori, child of Mercury." She finished.

You re-named all the people in your head. You were good at remembering things, most of the time.

"I am A.E., daughter of Isaiah Ramsey and Molly Gilliam. That is Magnus Chase, Son of Frey. Alex Fierro, currently son of Loki. Samirah Al-Abbas, daughter of Loki. Hearthstone, best magic-y person in the whole nine worlds. Blitzen, son of Freya. Mallory Keen, daughter of Frigg. Halfborn Gunderson, Berserker Extraordinaire. T.J., son of Tyr. And Lastly, but not least, whatever that saying means, is the one and only Y/N L/N, daughter of Loki."

"We're going to throw a party to have everyone get to know each other, then we will get ready for tomorrow."
