Leo's pov

I heard Hazel and Franks outburst and felt bad even though I had nothing to do with it. I either could help Hazel or the engine..damn it. I know I would probably make it worse. Frank has gone uneasy ever since me and Hazel went on that mission with Echo. I'm not the type to steal someone's girl. But I guess Frank doesn't see that yet. Especially since they think I'm.. what's his name? Stanley? Samuel? Sammy..? Fuck it, I can't remember.

"Damn it.." I muttered when oil started spraying out of Buford the table. It is currently 3:47 am but unfortunately the fates decided to give me another nightmare.. 

  I saw a figure..and a hand? I drew in closer and I figured out that figure was.. Piper. My eyes widened from shock. Even if she did unnecessary things, I can't just forget all the memories we had together, even the fake ones with Jason.

"Piper!" I tried to call out. But it was a dream so I just stood there helpless... The hand grabbed Piper and she didn't try to fight she just stood there like she already gave up. I couldn't bear to watch her be like that. Piper might've been a bitch but she isn't this stupid. "She sold herself to me..." A voice rasped out as the hand pulled Piper away.

     I woke in sweat as I saw myself still in the engine room hearing the calming waves. My head hurt after that dream. I couldn't help but wonder..

Frank pov

I was stressed. Hazel was pale. Leo was distracted. Annabeth was staring at a gold coin in her hand. Nico was thinking. Jason didn't wake up yet. And Percy was eating. .

 "So Annabeth, what do you know so far?" Nico asked. Annabeth bit her lip.   "We need to find the doors of death." Everyone went silent. She made her final decision in like under a few seconds. I guess that's the perks of being a child of Athena. Percy looked up in shock and Hazel looked like she needed to throw up.

"I'll go," Nico shrugged. "No Nico." Hazel said firmly. Nico just rolled his eyes. "Honestly Hazel, I'm a child of Hades, so it makes sense that I would go." Nico said calmly but Hazel had pleading eyes. Right now Nico meant the world to her but she can't protect Nico from everything. "She's right Nico, this is a suicidal mission." Percy interrupted. "Never stopped you." Nico exclaimed. Suddenly like it was on timing Jason walked in the room yawning."What'd I miss?' Jason asked, rubbing his eyes. "Nothing much, just Nico wants to find the doors of death." Leo answered not taking his eyes off the tin boat he was tinkering with. For some reason Percy was watching Leo tinker with the tin boat with sad eyes.

Jason's eyes widened. "What? Someone has to do it." Nico said fiddling with his soup. I looked at Hazel with reassuring eyes when she was just about to argue. Percy shook out of his trance.   

"Then at least let me give you a ride to Greece." Percy said. Nico shook his head."Nico it's too risky to shadow travel, let me give you a ride then I'll find my way back to the ship." Percy said firmly. I admire how badly he wants to do this. Especially for Nico. No one seems to know those two's relationship except for annabeth. Hazel looks like she's trying to figure it out.  

"Ok! Fine." Nico sighed in defeat. Percy grinned and started twirling water with his water until Annabeth slapped his arm making him spill. "No playing at the table Seaweed brain." She said. Percy rolled his eyes. "Are you my mom wise girl." He groaned. "Oh cool! Nicknames!" Leo exclaimed. "Hmm, mine's Leo hot Mcshizzle!" Leo yelled proudly. Jason had to stifle his laughter. I couldn't help but crack a grin.
