Jason stood off to the side biting his lip as he watched everything happen. Tommy was almost in tears, there was a mysterious boy doing magic on Fox and a boy named Gibby was stitching up her leg, this might be even crazier then fighting Rita's monsters.

'Great! And next a centaur is gonna come galloping in!' Jason thought sarcastically, until a man and centaur walked into the medical bay. Jason almost fainted right then and there.

"We're here, what's going on? Who's hurt?" The centaur said urgently as the man beside him sat down on one of the beds with an expression that expressed his discomfort at the situation.

"Sir, I think these two would be better suited to answer that then me." Gibby said politely as he pointed to Tommy and Jason. The centaur turned to the two boys before repeating his earlier question.

"We were all driving to her house when a hellhound jumped into the bed of the truck, Fox told us to run to the backyard when she parked but when we got back there, a fury tried to attack us. Fox came out and attacked the hellhound but got knocked into a tree, she killed the hound and the fury and then made us step on these green marble things, and then we were here and she collapsed." Jason told the centaur since Tommy was was a bit preoccupied. The centaur sighed and ran a hand through his long hair before looking at Fox again.

"Her powers normally heal her quickly when she's in a fight, something must be blocking her powers. Has anything happened recently to her? Anything that could deeply effect her?" He asked making Jason think about their conversation earlier.

"She had an episode, a hallucination made her think she was having one, which lead to her actually having one. Could that do it?" Jason asked the mythical creature in front of him looking alarmed at this new information.

"When did this happen?" He asked urgently while looking at Fox with alarmed worry.

"Yesterday. She went home acting and looking fine and this morning she seemed okay." Jason said to the man making him sigh.

"Fox tends to hide things that bother her, she could be on the brink of death and still say she's fine. She hasn't had an episode in years, I can't imagine what damage it could have had on her psyche." The man, who Jason assumes was Mr. D, explained which only seemed to panic Tommy more.

"What can we do to help her?" He asked the alarmed creature who looked at Tommy with slight pity.

"I'm afraid the only people who were ever able to help were her father or her friend Grover, she needs someone to ground herself to but she can rarely find someone who can be her grounder for her." He said to Tommy with sympathy in his voice. The boy Tyler then opened his eyes and the light blue mist-like energy faded away from the girls body.

"She has a mild concussion and multiple brushed ribs, also ones cracked, ambrosia should help with the ribs and concussion. I didn't find any other internal injuries so she should be fine." He said making the centaur nod to him with a slightly grim expression.

"Thank you Tyler, you may go back to your cabin." He said making the boy nod and walk out of the medical bay. Jason checked the time on his watch and widened his eyes.

"Its almost noon, I'm supposed to meet with Billy in half an hour." He said making the centaur look back at him.

"How did you all get here?" He asked Jason making him show Chiron the small chest of green marble things.

"Ah, I should have known she'd have some of those on hand. If you need to go, then just take one and imagine the place you want to go, then step on it. It will take you to your destination immediately." He said making Jason nod and set the box down before following the centaurs instructions and imagining angel grove park and then stepping on a single green marble.

Fox's POV

My head hurt and was wrapped in cloth, my body felt heavy. I was laying down on a bed, people walking around me. The sound of hooves softly pattering outside of the room I was in. I felt someone holding my head as something went in and out of the skin on my leg. After a few moments the sensation stopped and it felt like someone was bandaging up my leg as a sticky substance was smeared on it.

"When should she wake up?" I heard what sounded like Tommy ask from beside me. A sigh sounded from the end of the bed I was in.

"I don't know." The voice sighed. Gibby? Why was he here? "Tyler could probably tell you but he's gone back to his cabin." He said to Tommy before moving closer to my head. "Now, I need to see Chiron to tell him she's patched up. I need you to stay here until she wakes up, when she does you need to give her this." He said as what sounded like a small wooden dish was placed on a table to my left.

"Alright." Tommy replied as Gibby walked out. I felt Tommy brush some of my hair away from my face as I felt him kiss my forehead and then lips. I relaxed at that, a small smile crossing my face as he sat back down. I finally got the energy to open my eyes slightly. I looked at Tommy who hadn't noticed I was awake yet as he looked at the ground, holding my hand tightly.

"Hey." I said softly, Tommy quickly looked up at me and let out a loud sigh of relief.

"Thank god you're okay." He said as he looked at me, a smile stretching across his face. I laughed lightly before wincing when my chest hurt. Tommy immediately helped me carefully sit up and gave the small bowl to me. The small bowl was half full of ambrosia cubes and I happily munched on it, already feeling it's healing effects working on my ribs.

"What is that?" Tommy asked me making me pause in my eating. I swallowed and glanced at the food then him.

"Its ambrosia. It's a food of the gods, it heals demigods. It's supposed to taste like your favourite food." I told him making him nod before looking at the bowl.

"Could I try some?" He asked after I ate another cube making me pause.

"No." I said making him raise an eyebrow.

"Not even a tiny bite?" He asked with a teasing smile while I looked at him, mortified at even the thought of him eating the food. I quickly shook my head and looked at him.

"Tommy, if a mortal eats ambrosia, their blood turns to fire and their bones to sand. So, for the sake of your life. Don't. Eat. The Cube." I said making his eyes widen and quickly nod. I smiled and took one last bite before setting the bowl back on the table. I felt immensely better now, ambrosia couldn't heal all wounds but it did most of the work already.
