AN: Hello Everybody! I promised some of my more recent reviewers that I would update something by Tuesday, so here it is! (Set after mark of Athena, In New Rome) Read&Review please...

It was in the middle of dinner when it came.

Everyone was sitting in the dining hall, celebrating the called off war with camp Half-blood. Everyone except Reyna that is.

No, Reyna was sitting outside on the patio, staring off into the east, waiting for the flying warship to appear. In the last iris message from the seven they were in the middle of a battle in Greece, but they said they would be returning soon.

Reyna sighed and pulled out her dagger, looking at her reflection. She saw a girl who was fierce, scary even. Un approachable. Not social. And she knew that that was what every one else saw too. Well, every one else but him. He saw past the facade, and right into her. He was the only one.

Reyna shook her head, frowning.

"No Reyna. He has a new girlfriend now." She said bitterly, thinking aloud to herself "He's happy. You can't go around thinking that way"

But it was true, and she knew it. He was the only one, other than Hylla who saw through her mask. Who dared to come close to her, get to know her, fall in love with her.

Reyna shook her head and got up to go inside, Argentum and Arum on her heels. She knew that Gwen had told (threatened) Dakota and Bobby to keep an eye on her, make sure she wasn't getting depressed or anything, and it wouldn't do any good for them to find her moping out here.

They might try to talk to her for gods sakes. Or worse, tell Gwen (Who was the only that knew) to talk to her.

So she went inside and sat between Bobby and Dakota. Argentum and Arum settling down obediently by her feet. Before she knew it, a cheese burger and an iced chai tea with two tea bags was whisked through the air to her. Causing tears to prick at the corners of her eyes at the sight.

Double chai was the tea that he always made when they had to stay late to do paperwork. And he took her for her first ever cheese burger a week before he disappeared.

Reyna quickly wiped away her tears, glancing around discreetly to make sure nobody noticed. But everybody was to busy staring at the entrance to the hall to notice her.

"What's going on?" She asked, turning around to see what people were looking at, her next sentence forgotten when she saw it.

Because at the door stood a storm spirit.

A ventus.

No, one of his ventus! She would recognise his brand of magic anywhere! (Her ADHD side wondered whether this was due to her time with Circe, or just because she knew him so well).

The storm spirit (It was in horse form) slowly started trotting towards her, everyone subconsciously moving away from it, sensing it's chaos origins.

She felt her heart lurch. Did Jason come back? But no, the horse had made its way to her table and now she could see that it was riderless. She noticed a saddle bag on its side and it was for that that Reyna hesitantly stood up and reached for.

The horse let her approach, and she could feel all of the eyes in the room staring at her. She opened the saddle bag and pulled out a small steel sphere. The moment the sphere was in her hands, the horse dissolved into vapors and the sphere started spinning. Then it started to glow as all of a sudden a glowing image of Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, child of Rome, consul to demigods, praetor of the First Legion, slayer of the Trojan sea monster, defeater of the black throne of Kronos, destroyer of the Titan Krios and former boyfriend of Reyna Evans hovered above the sphere.

"Jason" Could be heard by everybody in the room as Reyna disbelievingly whispered it, staring at the face of her former co-praetor.

"Hey Warrior girl." The image said as Reyna gapped at it, tears slowly starting to burn at the corners of her eyes once again. "This is a recording device that Leo figured out how to make from studying some of Archimedes scrolls we found. He gave me and Perce each one. I hope it works. Anyway, finger's crossed Tempest gets this to you. I'm sending this to you because a couple days after we left New Rome, I got the rest of my memories back. I was going to tell you the moment I realized but the girl's convinced me it would mean more in person."

By now, Reyna had tears in her eyes, and she knew it too.

"Nico has an idea. A crazy, stupid idea. But one that might just save the world. And whether it works or not, I'm not going to be able to make it back to say I love you, or to beg for the forgiveness I don't deserve. Reyna Evans I'm calling you from Epirus, in the middle of a war, to tell you I love you one last time." By this point, Reyna had tears silently streaming down her face, but everyone was still to shocked to do anything.

"To tell you I'm sorry. Sorry for not remembering your smile, your laugh or how rare all of those are to see. I'm sorry for hurting you by coming back with Piper. And I'm sorry that this time, I'm not coming back."

"And right now, I'm telling you that I remember. Reyna Evans I remember every glance, kiss, touch we've ever shared. I remember sneaking out well after midnight just to see your face. I remember when I flew you out to the city, and we got ambushed by that Chimera at the theatre."

"I remember every chai tea latte, always with two bags, that we shared while staying up late signing paper's and forms. I remember our first kiss when we were 13, and every single one since then. I remember the first time I slept over at your villa, and how we barely got any sleep that night."

"Reyna, I remember when I got injured in the Titan war, and how you didn't leave my side for the rest of the battle. I remember fighting Krios with you, and thinking that even if I was going to die that day, then I would be happy to die fighting beside you."

"And Warrior girl, you've always been the strongest person I knew, but you don't always have to be strong, and since I'm not going to be there anymore to make remind you of that, make sure that you don't forget to let someone in every now and then, because the worlds a lonely place when you're by yourself. If anything, you've taught me that."

"So let me say it one last time. Reyna Evans, Warrior girl, I love you more than anything in all of the world, and now, you're going have to be strong enough to keep on moving every day. Strong enough to let someone else in, strong enough to get over me, because you are too amazing of a woman to waste your life away."

"Jason?" A voice could be heard as a door could be heard opening from off screen.

From the left of the screen, Leo came on, looking strangely sober for the normaly hyper-active demigod.

Jason frowned, and then his face became blank as he glanced over at Leo, assessing his expression and quiet demeanor.

"It's Time?" Jason asked, his face still blank but his eyes begging to hear Leo say that it wasn't.

"Come on Sparky," Leo said as he clasped a hand on Jason's shoulder, a weak smile appearing on his face. "It's time to go get suited up, Percy's already done and getting ready on the upper deck."

"Okay, just give me a minute?" Jason asked, his emotionless act cracking for a moment to show just how scared he was. It broke Reyna's heart, and judging by Leo's expression, it broke his too.

"Sure, okay man." Leo said as he turned around. "I'll just… Give you a minute."

With that he walked away, and off screen you could hear a door close.

When Jason turned back to face her, his scared, and that scared Reyna. Reyna had only ever seen him like this a couple times before, and those were all either in occasions where she was injured, and once when they were preparing to march Mount Tamalpais.

Jason opened his mouth, but no words came out. He smiled sadly, but it looked more like a grimace.

"So I guess this is it, I've run out of time. I love you Warrior Girl. Go live a happy life, and I'll be waiting for you in Elysium."

And with that, his hand reached up, and the image shut off, the sphere stopped spinning, and all that was left was a broken girl standing alone in a room full of shocked stares, desperately clutching on to a small steel sphere as if her life depended on it.

And if someone had looked into her eyes at that moment, they would have seen hollow pits of never ending blackness, and one word on her lips.

Jason.

AN: Well that was depressing, wasn't it? I'm strongly considering doing another chapter about what happens after, but I might just leave this a one-shot. If you have any idea's, please, add them into your review. If you don't like Jeyna, that's fine, there are plenty of other good ships but please don't flame me purely because you don't like the pairing, I WILL proceed to laugh at it.

Review PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE!
