The first sense that came back to me, was my smell. 

I was in a medical room.

The chemical tang clogged my nose, and I couldn't help but start to panic.

Beep. Beep. Beepbeepbeepbeepbeep.

"Percy!"

It was Timmy.

The beeping sound calmed down, and my eyes fluttered open at the voice.

"Guys, he's finally awake!"

Soon, everything came back to me.

Klarion, Zatara becoming Dr. Fate, getting blasted by lightning, falling onto my blade, Elysium.

(flashback)

"Percy?"

Walking through golden gates, I saw my Wise Girl's teary face, "A-Annabeth?"

"Your d-dead? Already? You were supposed to have a long and happy life," She sobbed lightly, rushing into my arms.

"I'm just here for a visit, Wise Girl," I held her tighter, kissing her, "Hades said since I was so close to death, I could visit you. I'm in between just enough for a little hello."

She looked just as she did before, with her mesmerizing grey eyes, her princess curls tied up in a messy ponytail, and her camp shirt.

She grabbed my arm, pulling me through Elysium, "You're Mom will kill me if I don't bring you to her."

Laughing, we wandered through the island to search for the amazing Sally Jackson.

Staggering, a force soon knocked me to the ground, and I knew that hug anywhere.

"Mom!"

Her eyes held tears that threatened to fall, "My beautiful boy, Hades told me, I'm so glad you're not dead. But Perseus Achilles Jackson, if you ever come this close to death again..."

I heard a chuckle behind me, and turned, "Paul."

Before he could utter a word, I hugged him, "I missed you guys."

"We missed you too," He ruffled my hair, "now, let's catch up on some things, shall we?"

For the next hour, I was reunited with the ones I've lost, and we talked about anything and everything: The Wayne's, Young Justice, Seahawk, Estelle, how my life has changed.

By the time Hades came to take me back, we were sitting on the beach, saying our goodbyes.

"It is time to go, hero."

I placed the sparkling engagement ring in Annabeth's hand, "Keep this safe for me while I'm gone?"

Nodding at the God of the Dead, he touched my forehead, "Be gone, Sea spawn."

Before I fully dissolved, I could hear her wetly call out, "I better not see you around here any time soon, and I mean it this time, Seaweed Brain."

Moving my gaze to the door, the others tumbled in, looking like they haven't slept in a million years.

Bruce's worry lines immediately dissolved as he looked into my eyes, "You really are awake."

Shifting my weight, I winced at the shot of pain that made its way down my body, even more so when my face flared.
