Amy POV

Gods damn it all. I cried like a stupid baby in front of everyone. Well... I'm going to redeem my name later. For now, I'm going to ask Percy if I can spar with him.

"Hey Perce?" I called out.

He immediately rushed to my side.

Is she fine? Did something happen? Is she hurt? Did she get into a flashback?

I rolled my eyes. Big brothers were fine and all... Until something happens to their younger sibling. That's when they get all mother hen.

"I'm fine Percy... Jeez. I'm not a baby. I can handle myself. "

He raised an eye brow.

What about...?

"No.. Tartarus doesn't count" I flinched when I said the name though.

"I was wondering... Spar?" I asked him.

He nodded, grinning.

"I want to see Jason against you first"

I nodded, smiling. It's getting easier to relax into their group. Maybe... Maybe family isn't so bad after all.

Few minutes and many groans later, Jason agreed. But he looked extremely nervous. I laughed.

"Don't worry Sparky... I won't hurt you.... Badly" I added as an after thought. He gulped, and Percy chuckled. The others were there as well.

Jason flipped his coin in the air and caught his sword.

I grinned. Making weapons became second nature to me. In a few seconds I gripped my celestial bronze sword.

"I'm never gonna get used to that" Nico said, shaking his head

"Tell me about it!!! Do you have to visualise the dimensions? How do you get Celestial Bronze? Is it a never ending thing? Do you.." Leo rambled on until Thalia smacked his head.

He grumbled, and I chuckled.

"3.... 2.....1....BEGIN!!" Annabeth called out.

We circled slowly, Jason watching my moves with the observation of a hawk. But he looked at my hand gripping the sword. Wrong move.

I deliberately left my right side unguarded, and he bought it.

He slashed at my right. I side-stepped, and let his momentum carry him forward. He stumbled, and before he could regain his bearings, I disarmed him.

To my surprise, he continued attacking. I threw my sword aside, and tackled him. He threw in a punch to my face, I blocked it. I aimed an uppercut low, and it caught him in the chest. He stumbled backwards, and I rushed forward.

Judo-flipping him, I placed my knee against his throat. I pressed his hands to the floor, and he choked, nodding his defeat.

"I win!!" I sang happily. I got off him, happy about my workout

Silence.

"Well...." Piper broke the awkward silence.

"Oof..... Superman... I think you have to train harder. She beat you in less than 5 minutes" Percy joked.

Jason groaned.

How did she get so good?

Every minute in Tartarus is worth a month training here.

He nodded, and I helped him up.

"Percy...?" I asked. He grinned.

"Seeing that you are better now... Sure!! Why not?"
