between chapter 2 & 3 of Iron Man
i knocked on the familiar door.
"coming!" a voice called from inside.
the door swung open and annabeth ran into me, giving me a hug.
"riley! come in. what are you doing here?" she asked pulling away.
i walked into the house and immediately welcomed the warmer air. it wasn't freezing, but it had just rained and the outside air was still cold.
"well, obi sent me here to check up on a few shipments, but then i remembered how we blew up your dad's car," i scratched the back of my neck — a habit i picked up from percy — sheepishly.
she waved me off, "don't worry about it."
"no, no!" i shook my head. "i have to pay him back. i — i don't want to have a blown up car that i haven't paid off on my conscience."
annabeth pursed her lips at me. she knew that i haven't been in the best mental state ever since last december. i barely slept, or left the lab.
she nodded slightly, and i smiled. for the first time in weeks.
after eating a few of the cookies mrs. chase made, i got ready to go back home.
