Jason Grace woke up. He took in his surroundings and saw that he was lying on the ground, in the middle of a clearing. He felt the cool, morning wind rush past his hair, ruffling it a little. He felt the grass under him and he stretched. Jason yawned as he recalled everything that happened before. He still had to find his friends. Well his senses were telling him that his where his friends were. He got up grabbed his stuff and began walking.

So, okay, all he needed to do was;

One: Locate Frank and Hazel

Two: Meet up with his other friends

Three: Avoid the Olympians

Four: Avoid the Romans

Five: Avoid the Greeks

Six: Start making a 'battle' plan

Seven: Stop thinking and start walking

With that thought in mind, Jason stood up and started walking.

Two hours of long walking later, Jason was near New Orleans. Jason chuckled to himself. He felt the light windy breeze against his hair.

Figures they would be here. After all, this is where Hazel grew up. Sammy and all that other stuff. I can't believe I am going to see them again. I hope they don't go against me. They are friends, like brother and sister. There is no way we can get any closer, I guess. Fate loves proving me wrong. There might always be another way. I hope I don't ruin their date.

So finally, Jason took a deep breath and jumped up. He felt his powers come naturally, he was flying through the sky at a fast rate but he figured that since his brain isn't mush, that the speed was fine. It felt so good to have the wind blowing against him, the air felt fresh and the sky seemed endless and well free. He flew through a cloud and saw a hole in it when he looked back. It looked like there was stamp that stamped a hole in the cloud with his face on it.

He was getting closer to New Orleans now. He saw the café. That was where he should check first, his senses told him. It was just a feeling.

He quickly landed in a dark alley way, looked around and walked out of the alley way.

After going into the café he saw Hazel and Frank. Hazel was blushing really badly. She resembled and tomatoes and Frank was smiling nervously with a dumb struck expression on his face. Jason could probably see why. Hazel had gotten a new outfit. It must have been from the money that she saved up. After she got rid of her curse, she had gotten some gold, jewels and other precious stuff and sold them to stores. That is very helpful if you are looking for a way to make money quickly and easily.

Jason had a sudden pang feeling in his heart. He could probably never ever in his whole entire remainder of a pathetic life be as happy and content as Hazel. She and Frank and a awesome relationship which was quite cute actually. Hazel could make money easily with her amazing powers and he would have to watch out for his former father and the whole Olympian counsel when using his powers. It wouldn't do if he just accidentally got hit by a lightning bolt, now would it? Or maybe, get eaten by giant bear while being stampeded on by herd of white deer? Or maybe even get eaten by a pack of dangerous snails or goldfish? The possibilities are endless with those gods. Athena also has a creative imagination from what he heard from Percy when he faced Medusa on his first quest.

Speaking of Percy, Jason hoped he was fine. Percy had gone through a lot of things and he definitely didn't deserve this. When he ever sees Annabeth again, he would gladly murder her painfully or even better make her wish she were dead. When they were all through with her she would be-uggh! Concentrate. Hazel and Frank. Meet up the rest of remaining friends. Have a great remainder of life. Make traitors regret everything, they have ever done.

Jason finally had enough courage to open the café door. It was old fashioned and reminded Jason of what Hazel had once described while talking about her past life. Maybe this was one of those that cafes from her childhood. Who knows with demigods? Former demigods, Jason corrected himself. Former. There was no way in hell he was going back to those gods.

Arrogant pricks that think they rule the world. They do technically speaking but Jason would not let anything like this slide by easily. It could be called treason on the highest levels. I mean who is that heartless enough to ruin someone like that and practically say NO SCREAM "Hey loser! I never liked you anyways but you were a one way ticket to the top. Now that I don't need you, I want you to get out of my life and never see me again! I am also dating your best friend. I am going to help your enemy and one of the people you passionately hate take your place also. We don't need your skill anymore since you already won the war for us. Bye!"

Not only did that hurt but also his friends, his real friends also got hurt and had to go through the same things. What kind of person was he if he couldn't even protect his loved ones? Jason glared at the ground, something that he seemed to be doing pretty often. Jason felt two pairs of eyes on him. He wiped that glare off of his face and looked to see Hazel, and Frank looking at him in curiosity and worry.

Jason quickly walked towards them. This was going to be one hell of a conversation.

"Jason, is that you?" Hazel asked.

Jason simply nodded.

"Man, what are you doing here? Nothing happened, right?" Frank added.

Jason sighed and replied with his answer.

"Look guys, things happened while you were away. I am not exactly happy with them. I am an outcast in Camp Jupiter. I got kicked out of camp. Jupiter disowned me and basically my life sucks. I would never go to Camp Half-Blood. I found out through an Iris message that Piper is cheating, correction, cheated with someone. That someone is my best friend Leo also. They don't know that I know either. I am not praetor of camp anymore. Octavian is. Reyna is the other one and she helped my enemy beat me. I swear she hates me. The other Romans do, too. I understand if you want to leave me and I get it. You still have your whole life ahead of you. You can go back to camp and forget about me, okay. I am not allowed back anywhere Roman again."

Hazel and Frank had a shocked look before they came into conclusion of what Jason had just said. They burst into protests immediately.

"Dude, you are like one of my closest friends. I knew there was something off, something wrong with Leo. He kept trying to steal Hazel"

"I can't believe them! I am not going to desert you. You deserve better than them!"

"I will follow you."

"Let them think what they want, we know that they are wrong."

"If you even believe one word they say, then let's say it's not going to be pretty for you or them when I am through!"

"What should we do now?"

"What's your strategy Jason so far?"

Jason was stunned. He never expected this. He thought they would leave him like the others.

"Well guys, I don't exactly know or have a plan. Anyway Lupa sent me here-"

He was cut off.

"Lupa? Lupa sent you here." Hazel's voice was calm she looked suspicious and so did Frank.

Frank continued what Hazel was probably going to say.

"You're not serious, right?"

"She is the enemy now."

Jason just them remembered that they didn't know that much about what was really happening. He decided to brief them.

"So basically we like have the minor gods and goddesses on our side. Percy, Nico and Thalia are in trouble as well. They went through the same things that I did but I think Percy has it worse off than me. We have to meet up with them somewhere. I think our instincts will know so yeah I think that sums everything up. I hope I didn't miss anything."

His friends looked at him before looking at each other. They then looked back at him with an determined expression, shoulders squared and looking like they would take on anything and said, "Let's do it!"

The three of them then walked out of the café with some new found confidence and determination which made all the mortals currently in the café to look up and stare at them as they walked past, heads held high. When they left, everyone just stared at the door before regaining their senses ten minutes later.
