Annabeth screaming. That's all I remember after Perseus Jackson died. A scream filled with pain. A heartbroken scream. Lucy later told me that she managed to get me back to the Argo III. She never told me how. Luke and Jensen (when he'd recovered) managed to get Annabeth and Percy's body back to the ship. So now here we're sat around a table with Percy laid down on it. Even though the rest of us didn't know him that well, he died right in front of us. If only I had been stronger I could've saved him and stopped Meg....

"Stop it" Annabeth said

"Wha- What?" I stuttered, my voice hoarse

"Stop blaming yourself" she said

"How did you know?" I asked

"Percy gets... got the exact same look whenever he blamed himself" She answered, fresh tears began to stream down her face when she corrected herself.

Lucy, even though she still had practically no idea what was going on, walked over to Annabeth and wrapped her arms around her. She didn't know it then, but unknowingly she used some of her powers over the hearth and family to warm her heart and make her calm down.

"Come on Anna, lets go get you some sleep" And they wandered off into the halls of the Argo III.

"How long until we get home" Jensen asked me, trying to change the subject away from the dead hero in front of us,

"At our current speed, an hour or so" I answered "Get some rest, both of you, I'll notify you when we get there"

"What about you Han?" Luke asked me

"I've got to talk to my sister" I replied

Time Skip Le 15 mins ltr

Lucy came towards me, walking out from the corridors that led towards the crew quarters.

"Hey" she said

"Hey" I replied. Then I couldn't hold myself any more, I flew at my sister grabbing her and wrapping her into a huge hug

"Gods I missed you" I mumbled into her ear

"I missed you too little bro" she said to me. and for the first time all day I let out a laugh

"I'm older you idiot" I replied

"Wait... Gods?" She asked and I realised that no one had actually explained anything to her.

"Oh right" I laughed "Well this is a long story..."

And another Time skip Le 40 mins ltr

"wow" she said

"ye" I replied

"So we're..."

"yep"

"and this is..."

"oh yeah"

"and he's..." she asked glancing towards Percy

"Let's not talk about that right now" I replied

"Okay hope your ready to see our new home" I said to my twin

"How long?" She asked

"ETA 5 mins" I replied

"I get Anna you get the other two idiots, meet back here in 2 mins?" She stated going into what we used to call military mode

"Roger that cap'n" I laughed. Even though I shouldn't be laughing at a time like this, my sister always knew what to say to make me laugh.

We went our separate ways, me heading towards the boy's rooms whereas Lucy went towards the girl's room. I banged on the door of Luke's room

"Luke get your ass out of bed it's time for us to go" I yelled in. No reply
