Percy POV

"Is he okay?"

"He'll be fine, just mentally exhausted."

"Who cares? He's a Greek."

All these voices were swirling around my head as I woke up. Their sounds mixing together barely constructing into the right sentences. I don't know who said what, but I definitely know Octavian said the last one. I rolled over pulling my pillow over my head trying to keep the waves of sound out. As I shifted, the cot I was on squeaked gaining everyone's attention. I ignored them trying to keep from crying as yesterday's events caught up with me.

"Percy?" A tentative voice asked. I barely moved, but I moved just enough to let them know I was listening.

"Can you speak to me? Are you okay?" It was a sweet powerful voice.

Definitely feminine, familiar, I've heard it the last couple weeks. With a quick elimination I concluded it was Piper. I shook my head under the pillow pulling my knees to my chest forming a ball with my body. I heard a few sighs.

"Wanna talk about it buddy?" Leo. Again I shook my head, then hesitated.

I slowly sat up and faced the people in the room. It was the remaining seven, cabin leaders, Octavian, Chiron, and Reyna. All crammed into the small infirmary. They all held in a breath as the covers fell from around my shoulders to my waist.

My torso was bare, but I could feel the rough fabric of my jeans under the sheets. Their faces were shocked. They held many emotions behind their faces and the uncomfortable shift of their bodies as they stared at my bare skin.

Scars, scars everywhere captured their attention. Knife scars, burn scars, whip scars, they can't see the poison remains, that healed, but anything you could think of they used on me down their.

They had Annabeth and I down their for 7 months. 6 months of captivity before we managed to get free with the help of Bob the Titan. (The rest of their time in Tartarus was equivalent to the book) Those 6 months were their worst with Polybotes, Alcyoneus, Hyperion, Kelli, and many other significant monsters. Luckily Kronos is definitely out of commission when Luke ran Annabeth's dagger through his Achilles spot.

Annabeth wasn't as bad as me in their sessions, seeing I was their main target of hate. She still got hurt, but only cuts and bruises, nothing that would last her life time. No poisons or burns either. When we came out of the pit, we found out a Day on Earth was equal to a Month in Tartarus.

When a few got over my messed up body they startled their comrades out of their staring. A few more moments of silence before they erupted into gasps as horror over took them. A few upheaved into the waste bin... *cough cough Leo cough cough* and others just stood shocked.

Thalia did a different approach with Nico close behind. Thalia marched right up to me, her eyes were red and puffy, and she didn't look like she had a good nights rest. That's understandable from my view. Once she stormed up to me she slapped me hard across the face with Nico slapping the back of my neck.

"What was that for guys!" Frank screamed at them fury pouring off him.

"For being an idiot." Thalia shouted right back at him sparks flying off her.

"It's not like he tried to get them." Hazel said trying to get them to see reason.

"Well he's a kelp head for not letting us know." Nico said trying not to shout at his little sister. The ground shaking a little bit.
