Percy POV:

I put my tea cup on the table, and looked her right in the eyes.

"Earth?" I asked.

"Yes, America actually." I tensed, this was getting worse with each passing second. " Hawaii." I almost screamed.

"Really. You get all serious and sober only to trick me?" She giggled. "When do I leave? Do I take anyone else with me?"

"Hmmm, Rachel probably. She'll be useful. After you're ready, you'll still have a few spare hours."

"Good, I'll go tell her." I stood up and bowed. "Lady Chaos."

"Good luck, Percy."

I think you want to know what's happening. Well it's been three years since that 'wonderful' day. After about 3 months Chaos somehow adopted me, apparently because I remind her of her old self. We trained together and went on missions together. To make it easier we chosed some aliases. Anyway, my team and I were pretty popular all over the universe.

And I just got sent over to Earth for a mission. Together with Rachel.

Oh well I could as well get done with it.

I went after Rachel and we packed together, we has to stop a bank robbing. I honestly didn't understand, I mean that's easily countered by cops so why us? But Chaos didn't let me refuse so yeah.

Overlooking this, when we arrived there it seemed to be spring, but it's Hawaii so I wasn't sure. I was wearing a thin yellow pullover with high waisted black shorts and knee high thights while Rachel wore a white croptop and denim overalls. We looked like tourists. We has a few hours to spare, since the robbery was planned so we went to the beach, but I didn't want to swim in Earth water because there is a chance Poseidon will find out.

We went to an ice cream parlor, I haven't eaten ice cream in so long... I got a chocolate chip blueberry one and Rachel went for vanilla and caramel. We sat down and watched people pass.

"Why do you think Chaos sent us here?" I asked her.

"Well" She looked over a file with mission details "the robbers are notorious criminals and the others are in missions."

I nodded and finished my ice cream in time with Rachel. We rose up and paid the bill. We were walking along the shore. Passing a group I heard part of the conversation.

"I swear to Dad," the rough formale Voice seemed familar. "If you continue to hit Death Breath with that ball, he's going to drown you."

"Oh now, now. He's not that cruel." A male.

"I wouldn't be so sure." Another girl. I couldn't resist so I turned to them.

"On my Mother's dresses! It can't be!" I said.

"What?" Questioned Rachel.

"You gotta be kidding me. Is She for real? Like really now? What did I do to deseve this? Oh She's so going to regret this!" I pulled my hair while she looked at what I was looking. "Ughh!"

"Oh" 'very smart, Rachel...'. "Oh, shit!"

I glared at her then turned back to ... Them. Who seemed to have seen us, Thalia put her hand to her mouth to hide a gasp. "Oh my..."

"...Percy?" Choked out Reyna. Eight pairs of eyes were locked on my form.

Rachel elbowed me in the ribs. "Say something , you idiot!"

I looked at the ground and accidentally look at my watch, I raised it to see it better and swore. " Fuck! Fuck! FUCK! Fuuuck!" I grabbed Rachel's arm. "We're laaaaate!" I screamed I dragged her away." Like fucking late moooove!"

"What?!" She yelled as we started running on the sand. She checked her watch. "Ugh! You just had to throw a trantum and make us late" we continued bickering.

We activated our suits, they looked a lot like Kim and Ron's outfits from Kim Possible but in grey and white. We jump-floated to the top of the nearest building and ran to the bank. When we arrived there, a group of masked men were harassing the bank workers and the civilians inside. They were so mainstream that I couldn't help but say: " Are we really gonna fighting these guys? If I touch them with a finger, they die instantly." I help up my finger to emphasis the statement. Rachel huffed.

"Well, If I didn't know their stats I would've told you to not understimate the enemy, but yeah... They would've been a medium even when you were 17."

"Wow, useless." I said as I materialized my gun. Yep, a gun. There was no use to barge in with a sword and the faster I get done with the scum, the faster I get to berate Mom. In three shots I get them done with and turn to Rachel....Who was reading a book.

"Seriously?" I glared at her. She shrugged and I rolled my eyes. "Anyway, we finished the job, now let's go back."

"Uh- huh! Nope! You, young man, have to talk to those guys over there, that seem to have mastered the way of stalking prey." She pointed to a large dark shadow. I already knew they were there.

"What? No! Why would I? If they really wanted to talk to me they wouldn't be hiding." I crossed my arms.

"If you don't talk to them, Luke won't talk to you, Bianca will kick your butt and Will and Jake will refuse cuddles." With every name she pushed her index finger into my chest.

"Leo wouldn't give a fuck." I offered.

"Leo enters hate mode everytime it's something about camp!" She whisper-yelled. I glared at the ground. I was going to cry.

"I'M SORRY OKAY? IF I DIDN'T RUN AWAY THAT TIME, HE WOULDN'T HATE THEM! It'my fault, my fault he hasn't seen any of them in years, it's my fault that he doesn't talk to them. It's my fault..." Two hands covered my cheeks and wiped away the tears.

"Shush! I don't want to hear any of that nonsense! You had every right to run away. And none of us blames you!" Rachel whispered softly.

"Rachel, we both know that's not true OW!" I tried explaining her but she squeezed my cheeks.

"Percy!" She warned me. I looked away... exactly at he group of demigods that followed us.

Piper took a step towards us and cleared her throat. "I know that I'm intrerrupting" she looked straight into my eyes "and that I it would be better if I shut up, but I wanted to tell you I'm sorry. I'm sorry for letting Annabeth say those things, I'm sorry for not asking you and assuming things and most of all I'm sorry for not stopping them, for letting them banish you." She wasn't lying, or using charmspeak, I knew that, the perks of being one of the most powerful beings in the universe. I still think it's stupid how I cry so easily but I'm so powerful. I felt like hugging her. I smiled sadly at her.

"Perce... I understand I shouldn't be asking this right now but..." Said Grover." One:. Did you just kill some guys with no hesitation?"

I glanced at the corpses. "Yeah, yeah I did." I deadpanned. "Not my fault they decided it would be fun to torture a five years old." They looked at me incredously. "I'm not heartless, I only have good reasons."

"And second:" Nico continued Grover's interogation. I looked him, damn that kid really grew up. He was taller than me with at least a head, olive skinned, Tartarus black eyes and chocolate brown hair. I could are his muscles so good I thought I was going to drool. Huh? Ain't he a fine one? "Did Rachel just say Luke, Will and Jake and ..." His words got cut off by a hot red beam of light and a silvery one. Oh, shit! Leo and Bianca were here.

"One of my bracelets broke. What happened? Don't tell me you haven't​ been crying, you're eyes are red. Uf! I knew something bad was going to happen in this mission!" Ranted Leo.

"Wrist check!" Said Bianca and I showed her my forearms. "Hm. Okay, he's clean. "

"I've been clean for four months!" I protested.

"Yes but relapse has happened to you before." Chidded Bia. "Now, why are we sad, who do we have to dispose of?" I raised a brow and pointed to the demigods behind Leo and Bia. They both turned at the same time.

Leo uttered a soft "oh shit"

Bianca glanced at me and I observed the ones in front of us. Grover and Juniper seemed hopeful, Piper was obviouly sorry, Hazel-wow, she was taller than Leo, and her... Curves developed, she was very pretty- and Frank-good old muscly Frank- were relieved and sad at same time, Thalia... Well, Thalia looked a cross between wanting to punch me, squeeze me to death and start bawling. Nico was watching Bianca like she was going to dissapear any moment now.

"Yes, she did. So I invite you to meet two of my favourite people in the whole universe." I spread my arms. Then I looked at Nico, and smiled softly, squeezing Bianca's shoulder.

"Well..." She gulped. "You grew up a lot since I last saw you, Nico. Ever got over your emo phase?" Her voice shook and her lips were trembling.
