There was so much to do, and only so little time. Percy had disappeared for a day, then called Annabeth with a cryptic message to load up all the campers in the camp van, and bring them to New York.
They went to Olympus first, making sure that Kronos's army hadn't made it up there yet.
It should have been a beautiful place, and it was, but it was empty, cold. The braziers were dark, and most of the occupants had either fled, or we're already fighting.
It was only when they had already gone back down to the ground when Andy spoke next. After Percy assigning exits and entrances for each cabin to guard and a surprise visit from the Hunters of Artemis, Percy turned to her.
"Andy," he said, gesturing for her to come stand at the front where he was. "You know Kronos's army."
It wasn't a question, but a statement.

They went to a building called the Plaza, where the Apollo healers had set up camp. Silena had been taken away so someone could patch up a gash on her leg, but Andy was handed a square of ambrosia and told to wait until her bones healed.
Andy was looking over a map in the main room, so she saw when Annabeth was rushing into a separate room, and Percy followed after, flitting near the room's entrance.
"Percy," she called. "Stop hovering."
He sighed, and walked over, sitting on the floor next to her.
