Annabeth led him to the pool.
The pool!
He could feel it calling him.
"C'mon. Pool!"
He pulled Annabeth up the stairs.
"How do you know where we're going?"
"I feel it."
The pool!
He breathed in the scent of water.
And made a face.
Chlorine.
Chlorine ruined water.
It wasn't as pure as sea water.
"Ugh."
"What's wrong, Percy?"
"Chlorine."
Annabeth nodded suddenly.
"Of course! The ocean would be better for you. Would you like to go to the ocean."
He nodded.
The ocean was better than the pool.
"JARVIS, tell Tony we're borrowing his car."
Annabeth took his hand and led him down the stairs again.
"He would like to know why, Miss."
He jumped.
The voice scared him.
He was not expecting that.
"Tell him it's for Percy."
"Yes, ma'am."
They got into a car.
It was blue.
He liked blue.
"Are we going to the ocean?"
"Yes, Percy."
They drove away from the tower.
Percy turned and watched out the window.
The tower looked like a llama.
Llamas.
They were weird.
"Percy, what are you thinking about?"
"Llamas."
Annabeth looked at him weird.
"What?"
"Llamas."
"Why are you thinking about llamas?"
"The tower looks like one."
Annabeth stopped at a light and glanced back to their temporary home.
"It kind of does."
He smiled.
"See?"
"Your ADHD seems to be affecting your brain."
He shrugged.
Annabeth pulled into a parking lot.
"We're here."
"At the ocean?"
"Percy, do I need to answer that?"
He rolled down the window.
It smelled like salt water.
The ocean.
The ocean!
He opened the door to the car and stepped out.
