AN: What was I doing? I have no idea at this point...?😅

"Ah Kelp head, so nice of you to meet us here." Thalia drawls. You sigh. Hasn't it gotten old already? You look at the person she addressed. He doesn't look much different, except for the fact that he has a new, yet familiar scar. It was a thick, deep pale scar that ran from the bottom of his eye down to his chin. You feel a pang of sadness and- was that guilt? Don't feel it now, you don't have time for it.

"Can't say that the feeling is mutual. How are you, Pinecone face?" If she was annoyed, she didn't show it. She maintained the face of faux happiness.

"It was all good until someone decided to be an idiot!" Her tone and expressions were cheerful. But no one could ignore the hidden venom underneath her cheerful tone.

Your technically youngest-but-kinda-the-oldest sibling widened his eyes and looked at you. Then he gasped and morphed his face into an expression of horror

"My dear youngest cousin, what did you do now?"

"I'm older than you..." You say slowly. He blinks at you.

"I honestly keep forgetting about that..."

"I meant you, Percy. Not Nico. I want an explanation." Thalia said, now the mask of faux happiness is all gone. Your cousin stays silent for a while. Then he speaks up.

"Did you know that I am going to have a sister on March 30th? Yeah, Mom and Paul wanted it to be a surprise but I know that it's going to be a girl, whose name is Estelle." He said looking down. "And I know that you are cross with me due to pulling Luke Castellan on you..." He might have smiled at the last statement, but you don't know about it.

"What do you mean?" Thalia asked.

"I betrayed you guys like Luke, didn't I?" He says, looking uncomfortably at the ground.

"She asked about your sister, and what she has to do with Gaia." You say. Do you want to get over this as soon as possible because this place is approximately... 7,600 miles? And your doctor told you not to do any Underworld-y stuff, and that's putting it nicely. You shudder. Your youngest cousin winces at the name and quickly checks over his shoulder for something. Then sighs in relief. Porphyrion killed Jason, so Percy holds the mantle of the youngest now.

"Don't say her name, you might summon her. This meeting is happening without her knowledge, we don't want her here." Percy says, looking around.

"And as for my sister, she is not born yet." He continues. "And I know that you both are smart enough to connect the dots... Or are you not?" He says snarkily, but you can see the desperation in his eyes. It makes sense, of course, it IS the mother of The Crooked one after all, isn't she? You are not shocked much, His fatal flaw is Personal Loyalty, and he will do anything to protect his loved one. Thalia, however, is a completely different story. She sighs and looks at Percy resigned As if she knew that one day, this would happen.

"What about Annabeth?" Thalia asks. You blink. Oh.

"She will be... safe, And that's all that I'm allowed to say, Talk to you next time under hopefully better circumstances..." He turns towards the lake and prepares to leave.

"Wait!" You unexpectedly blurted out. Thalia looks at you.

"Oh! Right, The sky!" He says cheerfully as he steps into the lake and disappears. How he did it, you'll probably never know.

AN: Yup, No Idea.
