Jason I

The ship jolted a bit as they hit some turbulence. Jason glanced over his shoulder to where Leo was behind the wheel with a slanted sailors hat on his mop of curly brown hair. There was a huge smile on his lips and Jason could tell he was really enjoying finally being able to fly the Argo II, after months of planning and building and failed attempts she was finally working. Annabeth was below deck working on something for the quest, although Jason suspected she was probably working out what she was going to do when she saw Percy again. They still didn't know how much of the guys memory he would have back yet, possibly none, possibly all of it. Jason's fingers tapped nervously against the wooden edge of the ship as he looked down at the world below, they where almost there; he could feel it, like something was tugging at his gut, pulling him home. His own memory had been growing stronger over the last few months, he could remember Dakota's obsession with sugary kool-aid, Gwen's bravery, Hazel with her dark secret and her weird brother who appeared and disappeared more than Harry Houdini. Then there was Reyna. As far as he could recall the two of them had never actually dated but there had definitely been something there, a small spark. A lot of people thought she was cold hearted but behind her exterior Reyna was a good person who'd had a lot of bad luck, he remembered her telling him about two heroes who had destroyed her home and forced her to camp Jupiter, splitting herself and her sister up. If he ever found the hero Jason had promised he would either gut them, or hug them for bringing her to him, if nothing else she was definitely one of his best friends. Octavian on the other hand was just pure evil, not only did he slice up teddy bears which is evil in its own right but Jason was sure right now he was busy using his immense speaking power to take his place as praetor. Yesterday had been the deadline, he was too late all he could hope for was that someone good had taken his spot.

"You ok?" Piper asked from behind, taking him by surprise, he turned to see her trying to tug a strand of her brown, choppy  hair behind an ear but failing miserably as the wind around them was just too powerful.

"Yeah." He said, "You?"

"Yeah, I'm actually kind of excited about seeing the roman camp, meeting your other family." She said nudging him with her elbow and smiling. Jason thought she had a great smile, which showed off her white teeth and made her eyes glisten.

"I just hope the flag will be enough." Jason told her pointing to the white flag of truce which was billowing in the breeze. "They can be quite...aggressive." He tried to choose the right word. Behind them the door to below deck burst open and Annabeth walked out, her wavy blonde hair tied up in a ponytail which layed over one shoulder. Her grey eyes looked fierce as one hand held the handle to her knife as if she expected something to jump out and attack them. In her back pocket Jason could see her Yankees cap poking out, the one that could make her invisible like Harry Potter's cape.

"They've received our video message and if Camp Jupiter is where Jason said then we should be just coming up to it." Annabeth told them moving forwards.  

"Aye aye Admiral Chase, lowering anchor as we speak." Leo said, pressing down some buttons on the wheel. Jason looked over the side of the ship, down below he could make out the freeway with cars zooming everywhere, and of course the passage guarded by two demigods, who he was sure where looking up at the ship right now in awe. It really was impressive, with Festus' head at the front, and shields down the side. Though he couldn't note how Greek it looked. The Romans really wouldn't like that.

"Leo don't you think your taking this whole thing a little too far?" Piper asked.  
"Nonsense Vice-Admiral McLean, now this bit may get a bit bumpy." Leo warned them as something moved beneath their feet, sounding  like nails on a whiteboard. Annabeth came to stand next to Piper and gingerly looked over the edge where Camp Jupiter was coming into view, the buildings, the hills and the tiny dots of purple which represented people. They watched as the anchor dropped from below the ship and gently landed in an empty patch of green, although it appeared to be just a field Jason was sure  Terminus   would have something to say about it. Besides him he felt Annabeth and Piper tense, they could feel that they didn't belong here just like he had at camp half-blood.

"Ready?" Jason asked Annabeth, giving a half-hearted smile.

"Yep." She said determinedly.  "You?"

"I think so..." Jason replied glancing back down to where the dots where starting to come into focus.

"It'll be ok." Piper told him, gripping the side of the boat so tightly that her knuckles began to go white, they could feel that the ship was moving downwards and it was a little unsettling to the stomach, like going down a death slide.

"ROMAN CAMP!" Leo announced over the tannoy which was so loud Jason felt his whole body vibrate.

"Camp Jupiter." He corrected.

"Right sorry, CAMP JUPITER THIS IS LEO VALDEZ SUPREME COMMANDER  OF THE ARGO II. WE COME IN PEACE!"

"They're not aliens." Annabeth scolded.

"Some of them are, some of them are Martian or Vulcan or Plutonian." Leo replied and all three of the ships other inhabitants rolled their  eyes at his silliness. "WE'LL BE DOWN WITH YOU IN JUST A FEW SECONDS! PEACE OUT!" He finished.
There was silence as the quartet of Demigods felt the boat hit the ground with a loud, teeth clenching thud. Leo would really have to practice landings a bit more.

"Ok, Jason you get off first. If they're friendly send a signal for the rest of us." Annabeth told him.

"I'm the canary?" Jason asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes." Annabeth said smiling. "Problem?" Leo thumped him on the back.

"Good luck man."

"Thanks, but I don't think I'll need it." Jason said standing up. "We're in my camp now." He tried to sound fierce, but he must have failed because he could see Annabeth biting back a grin. "So what do you want the signal to be?" He asked, before she could comment. Annabeth thought for a few moments considering everything logically like a true child of Athena.

"How about 'guys it's ok, they're nice aliens'?" Leo suggested.

"Or something to that effect." Annabeth corrected. Jason closed his eyes and took in a deep breath.

"Ok, let's do this."
