Annabeth~

I slipped my hand into Percy's limp one, and he squeezed my hand back. It was a very light touch, but I knew I hadn't imagined it.

"He's waking up! Someone get Will!" I yelled. Hazel jumped up with Frank in tow, and the two ran off to find the son of Apollo.

I looked back over to Percy, and his face was scrunched up, like he was trying to remember something. His eyes opened, but they were squinted. I never thought I'd see those endearing sea green eyes again.

"Seaweed Brain," I whispered. Percy didn't seem to be able to see too well.

"Wise girl?" He croaked.

"Percy!" I tackled him with a hug, and he weakly patted my back. "It's okay," he whispered as I cried onto his shoulder.

"Hey, Perce," Jason said, and Percy looked over.

"Hey Sparky, hey Pipes." Piper didn't even tell Percy not to call her Pipes, but ran over and hugged Percy tightly.

"And... Leo? Gods, I missed a lot," Percy said, making an effort to sit up. It didn't work very well, and Percy winced in pain. I pushed him down back to the cot.

"Nice of you to join us, Aqua Man," Leo laughed.
