Will sat down with Percy, "you're okay with me telling them what happens here?"

"Yeah. It's not like they can change anything," Percy said, even though she'd love to say no.

"The oath?" Will asked, figuring they were intertwined somehow.

"Yeah," Percy said.

"Alright, then let's get this over with. First, do you have any previous diagnoses I should know about?" Will asked.

"Adhd, dyslexia, obviously. I was also diagnosed with depression when I was nine," Percy said, looking at the floor.

"Okay. Do you take any medications?" Will asked.

"Not anymore. They always made it worse. I have ways to deal with it," Percy said, still not meeting Will's eyes.

"Alright. Now, for the next part, I'm going to say a few words, and you'll say the first word that pops into your head," Will said.

Percy's jaw clenched, but she nodded.

"Blue," Will said.

"Cookies."

"Family," Will said.

"Dead."

"Red," Will said.

"Blood."

"Black," Will said.

"Neeks," Percy said, with a small smile.

Will chuckled a little, agreeing with her, but continued, "camp."

"Chiron," Percy said.

"Green," Will said.

"Grover."

"You heard from him lately?" Will asked.

"No, but he's alive. Our connection tells me that much," Percy said.

"Good to know," Will said. He was hoping that the random questions would help her relax a little. Since she still seemed to find the floor very interesting.

"Water," Will said.

"Calm."

"Sleep," Will said.

"Don't."

"Dreams," Will said.

"Torture."

"War," Will asked.

"Death."

"Sky," Will said.

"Drama queen," Percy said, which followed by low rumbles of thunder.

The two demigods chuckled a little.

"Grey," Will said.

"Wise Girl." Percy's eyes teared up.

"Lion," Will said.

"Leo." Percy said, her voice cracking.

"Pink," Will said.

"Frustrating."

"Sword fighting," Will said.

"Release."

"Swimming," Will said.

"Energetic."

"Does this place even have a pool?" Will asked.

Percy looked at him, and smiled, "yeah. It's even in doors, near their gym."

"Cool. You'll have to show us. Since we're spending the day here," Will said.

Percy grinned.

"Few more, okay?" Will asked.

Percy nodded, but didn't avert her eyes back to the floor.

"Fear," Will said.

"Debilitating."

"Fun," Will said.

"Hard."

"Relax," Will said.

"Impossible."

Will jotted the last answer down, and looked at Percy, "we've finished."

"What'd you learn, Doc?" Percy asked, trying to lighten the mood.

"You know what I've learned, already," Will said.

"Yeah. Your father took one look at me, after the war, and told me," Percy said.

"You didn't tell me that when we first started," Will said.

"Would you? Besides, I thought you meant pre-camp diagnoses," Percy said.

Will conceded her point, "let's go join the others. I'll talk to Alfred and Jason privately, you and Nico can sword fight or something."

———
Meanwhile....

"What are your intentions with my cousin?" Nico sled, stepping out of the shadows, next to the undead man.

"What the fuck," Jason said, jumping up and pointing his gun at the demigod.

Nico ignored the gun, and asked again, "what are your intentions with my cousin?"

Jason put his gun away, and looked at the demigod, "what do you mean?"

"You've only known her for a few days. Why are you so invested in her well-being?" Nico asked, seeing the man hasn't noticed his feelings yet.

"She is new, that's something I want to change. Plus, she's insanely observant, that it puts her uncle to shame. She's died before, too. It didn't cause the grey in her hair, like it did me, but she has died before, she's hinted at it," Jason said.

Nico looked more focused, somehow, "what do you mean?"

"When she got here, I asked about her grey streak. She said that her streak wasn't caused by dying. The way she worded it, made it sound like she has died before, it just didn't cause the grey part. Almost like she was hinting at it, without wanting to openly admit it. Plus, she is incredible," Jason said.

Nico watched for any sign of deceit, and relaxed slightly, when he found none, "she is awesome. And insanely powerful, but if you hurt her, you're gonna wish you had stayed dead."

Jason nodded, rather impressed with the kid. But didn't completely grasp why this was a conversation.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go yell at my cousin," Nico said, then went back into the room where Will and Percy were just finishing up.

———

"Persephone Jackson!" Nico said, walking into the room.

Percy tensed, "Nico?"

"How come you didn't tell anyone you died, before?" Nico asked.

Percy paled, "where'd you hear that?"

"From your friend downstairs, apparently when you guys met, you hinted that you had died before, and he caught on," Nico said, glaring at his cousin. Will wasn't looking too happy either.

"How did this happen?" Will asked, looking upset, but tried to keep his voice calm.

"It's nothing," Percy said, closing off. She didn't want a flashback at the moment.

"You died, Percy! That's not nothing? What the Hades!?" Nico shouted, "how did you manage to keep me from not feeling that?"

"Don't hide this from us, Percy," Will said, "there aren't many of us left right now."

"You think I want to keep this from you? I would love to be able to talk about how I was tortured in Tartarus by the Titan of Time, and anytime I died, he just rewound time to bring me back. How the only reason I got out, was that he made the mistake of bringing me back to life, before he left, having run out of power to keep going," Percy said, tears were streaming down her face, and she was shaking very bad.

That shut both of them up. Jason, who followed, listened on in a rather frozen state.

"I didn't tell anyone, because I can barely talk about it without having a flashback, or panic attack. It wasn't that long ago, in case you forgot. Besides, you don't talk about being in the jar," Percy said, looking at her cousin.

Nico's anger and fear left him, and the two demigods wrapped Percy in a hug, even if she was as stiff as a board of wood. But it wasn't long, before she broke down into tears, as the three lowered to the ground to comfort her.

Jason walked over, and joined them on the floor. He didn't join the hug, but he placed a hand on her knee.

Percy glanced up at him, and gave a small smile, even if it looked more like a grimace, in thanks.

After she calmed down, the group of four made there way back to the living room. Jason pulled Nico over to the movie selection, as Percy and Will went to grab snacks, and drinks.

Nico pointed to Finding Nemo, "Percy loves that movie, almost all sea based movies she likes."

Jason nodded, and grabbed the movie. He put it on, and let it start running through the movie previews. The two then grabbed blankets and pillows, as the set them up, at various places on the large couch.

Will and Percy come back, Percy is carrying sodas, waters, and Gatorade, while Will is carrying popcorn, candy, and cookies.

Percy grinned when she saw what movie was about to play, and quickly set the drinks down, before jumping on the couch with a blanket in her lap.

The other three smiled at the childish abandonment that she displayed.

Will and Nico sat together, sharing a blanket, with a bowl of popcorn between the two.

Jason sat next to Percy, also grabbing a brown of popcorn to put between them.

He handed Percy a water bottle, since she didn't seem to drink much soda, unless it was blue, which they didn't have any.

Then they started the movie, since all of the prequels were finished.

Percy cuddled into her blanket, as the movie played. She smiled a little at certain points in the movie, but she felt really drained.

Sometime during Nemo's escape, and him running into Dory, Percy fell asleep.
