Chapter 17: Welcome to Rome

/Chapter 17: Welcome to Rome

They found Annabeth on the deck of the ship, seemingly having a glaring contest with Jason which neither seemed willing to admit defeat in.

Percy cleared his throat, "We need to talk Annabeth."

Jason turned to glare at Percy who glared right back./

"Please don't say something stupid," Jason pleaded with himself.

/"Is there something you want to say to me son of Jupiter?" Percy asked in an irritated tone.

Jason's glare intensified, "I don't see why you needed to attack a god. It was reckless and only put our quest in even more danger."

Percy slowly nodded, "You are probably right but unfortunately for you I wasn't going to pass up a chance to teach him a lesson in arrogance."/

"I get it, I really do," Jason said.

/"Why was it even necessary? Because he hurt your girlfriend's feelings thousands of years ago? Well the rest of us don't care about her hurt feelings and you're endangering us for your own selfish reasons." Jason growled./

Jason facepalmed. "Holy Zeus, just shut up, Jason," he said.

/Percy's eyes flashed with anger but he kept himself under control. He took a deep breath and stepped right into Jason's face./=

"My reasons are not your concern Grace." Percy said in an icy tone. "I will ask you one more time to let this go or we are going to have a much bigger problem on our hands."

Jason's eyes narrowed, "I hope you don't think I'm afraid of you Jackson. You're not the only one who's battled Titans you know...." He began until Annabeth spoke up./

Jason's eyes widened at his own stupidity. Surely this was going to end up in a brawl... or worse.

/"Jason, cut the crap. We're all in this together. Just let it go so we can focus on our mission." Annabeth said trying to quell the growing tension between her crush and her best friend.

"Stay out of this Annabeth. This isn't any of your god's damned business." Jason growled./

Annabeth frowned. She felt herself moving away from Jason. "Maybe you're not the guy I thought you were," Annabeth said.

Jason sighed. "I can't believe I'm going to be that stupid."

/"Don't talk to her like that." Percy said shoving Jason roughly.

Jason stumbled back before charging at Percy and spearing him onto the deck of the ship. The two tumbled around until Jason ended up on top and threw a punch that Percy barely avoided by turning to the side./

"A losing battle from the start," Theseus said. "But I suppose one gets that from his own father."

/Percy pushed Jason up a bit before kicking him off him before jumping to his feet. Jason charged again throwing a wild punch that Percy dodged and landed a clean right fist right into Jason's jaw./

"Ouch," Jason winced, knowing that likely broke his jaw.

/Jason stumbled back before sprinting at Percy only to have Percy lunge forward and grab the son of Jupiter by the shirt and throw him hard onto the deck.

By this time all the members of the quest were gathered on the deck unsure how to stop the two furious demigods.

Jason climbed to his feet as lightning flashed across his eyes. The sky darkened as Percy narrowed his eyes, daring the son of Jupiter to try to blast him./
