Nick scanned through then stopped as he looked through "Hmm... This one will require an extra." A flash appeared then disappeared to reveal a girl in a silver parka with short spiky hair and electric blue eyes "Ugh... What the actual Hades..." She looked to see the Seven to which Jason stood up and embraced his sister "Hey Thalia." Thalia breathed a sigh of relief and embraced her younger brother. "Well, good to see some familiar faces. But where am I?" "My mom's place." Percy answered. Thalia looked to see Annabeth and Percy and embraced them as well and Thalia joked to Annabeth "You do know you made the wrong choice, right?" Annabeth smirked "Oh I know. This is all a ploy to get to you, Thalia."

Percy scoffed and let go of them both "Wow. This is a wake up call." Annabeth laughed and held his arm "Oh relax Seaweed Brain. You know you're my favorite." Percy laughed and wrapped his arm around her. Thalia looked at Nick and asked "Wait, who're you?"

After a conversation about Multiverse and Watchers, Thalia sat down on one of the armrests and waited "So what have you got from us?" Nick scratched Godzilla's neck then tapped on the tablet and screen flickered into life.

Pisces

The screen opens to a studio in a warm lighting as a Nico with a guitar plays a rhythmic and warm tone before Grover playing the drums joined in. Luke handled the bass as he played away with Nico. The singer was female with black hair and electric blue eyes.. She wore a white tank top with black pants and boots. Her ears had a glass goldfish on the inside and had a nose ring and she started singing.

Step forward and meet a new sunrise
A coward is shivering inside
Today I'll, I'll be a friend of mine who swallows
Suffering with smile
I drew a different reality
With unconditional loyalty
Ego hardly can be piqued 'cause I'm selfless

"Woah... That's a beautiful voice." Thalia admitted as she watched the woman sing which complimented the instrumentation. Piper started swaying her head to the beat and vocals.

The song stopped to just tapping of the sticks and the guitar before the drums and guitar picked up and everyone was shocked to what they would hear the woman say.

Scale armour blaze
Virgin innocence
One being brings life
Another runs for death
Scale armour blaze
Virgin innocence
One being brings life
Another runs for death

"Woah woah woah!! What the actual fuck was that!? She just goes from singing like an angel to singing like a demon!? How!?" Everyone was also shocked at the switch and Nick asked "You do realize that's you, right Thalia?" Jason looked at her sister and spoke "That makes more sense." "But how do I do that without messing up my throat!?" She exclaimed to which everyone shrugged.

The song died back down after the burst of growls from Thalia and transitioned to her beautiful vocal work.

No promises I ever give
Don't rely on me and I won't deceive
The beginning or the end you can't tell
When I wave my fin and shake my tail
I grew in different normality
With unblamable morality
Hooks and nets are there for me but I'm skittish

"Anybody else picking up that she's talking about a fish?" Percy asked to which Annabeth spoke "I guess that's why it's called Pisces." "But why a fish?" Thalia asked "Perhaps she's talking about the star itself?" Annabeth guessed

The song transitioned back to the more heavy tone as Thalia growled out in anger.

Scale armour blaze
Virgin innocence
One being brings life
Another runs for death
Scale armour blaze
Virgin innocence
One being brings life
Another runs for death

It slowed back down and it took a different tone when Thalia sang with tears threatening to leak.

Neptune's child shivering inside
Drowns in the liquid gold
Cherished his life to the underworld
Meet me flashing when the winter cries

Everyone looked at Percy when Thalia sang about Neptune's child to which Percy asked "What? Why are you all looking at me?" Thalia spoke "Who's the only Child of Poseidon or Neptune in the room, Kelp Face?" Annabeth asked "Not only that but you heard her right? Cherish his life to the Underworld? Does that mean he's dead?" Nick picked up from there. "So in this universe, Thalia is singing in grief for her cousin Percy who died and it's meant to be a tribute to him." Everyone was shocked. Percy especially as he tried processing that he was dead. That his cousin sang a song as a tribute to him.

The song built up with just the guitar before it bursted and Thalia growled out in a final burst of grieving anger.

Pisces swimming through the river
All their life against the stream
Searching for a hook to catch on
And see their sun beam
Then suffocate in painful tortures
On cutting tables of callous men
Under a knife of handsome butchers emeralds are ripped away
Emeralds are ripped away
Emeralds are ripped away
Emeralds are ripped away

The song ended and everyone took a deep breath and Thalia sat up to hug Percy who hugged back in confusion. "Thalia?" She simply held onto him. Annabeth was always afraid of Percy dying and in this universe, her greatest fear came true. Annabeth joined in on the hug. Everyone else simply gave them space.

Nick watched the sad scene unfold and pet Godzilla who leaned into his hand.
