AN: Okay, so I got a rude comment about one small flaw I did notice. Yes, I know Michael Yew is dead. Didn't I already clear up that that was a mistake? If I didn't then okay:
It was a mistake, but there's no point in re-writing the whole thing so let's just say he not dead in this. It'll be AU anyway when MoA comes out.
Terribly sorry for the mistake, but I'll just ignore that rude remark I got.
And this chappie, you Jayna (Jason and Reyna) fans are going to love!

Jason Grace

Jason walked out onto the Via Praetoria with Leo, and the first thing he noticed was that Reyna wasn't there.
Then he noticed Piper watching him, and suddenly felt bad. As if she should have been the first thing he noticed.
He mentally slapped himself for feeling bad. It wasn't as if Piper was his girlfriend. And neither was Reyna. He was free to worry about whomever he pleased. They were both nothing more than friends.
But how true was that really?
Leo seemed to notice his dilemma.
"Are you okay, man? You're face looks all screwed up…" Leo looked sideways at him, a hint of concern behind his wild eyes.
Jason closed his eyes and relaxed his features.
"Better?" He asked Leo.
"Much." Leo replied, before heading off toward Piper.
Jason didn't follow.
He would have gone to Thalia but she was goofing off with Annabeth and Percy – like best friends. And that made Jason feel a little upset. Thalia never talked that way with any guy… except Jason.
But of course, there was always Percy Jackson. Always.
Instead he went up to Gwen, who was standing alone.
"Hey Gwen, What's up?" Jason said as he stood next to her and leaned against the wall of the ship.
Gwen turned to look at him, and Jason felt warm all over at the look in her eyes. Finally he could be sure that someone was happy to see him. And only him.
"Nothing really, just-"
"WHAT?" Percy Jackson's voice rang through the Via Praetoria like a gong.
Jason didn't have to look tell, but when he did, boy was Percy angry.
Jason started make his way over to see what the fuss was about. Every head had turned to look at them. But when he was halfway toward them, he stopped in his tracks.
"What do you mean Grover's kidnapped?" Percy yelled, looking from Thalia to Annabeth in utter shock and bewilderment.
And then the unpleasant memory of that night came back to Jason, without his permission…
Jason heard Annabeth scream from his compartment on the Argo II. He jumped out of bed. It was coming from outside. He ran out the door and through the narrow corridor of the ship. He could feel the ship rocking from side to side as if something were messing with its balance.
He emerged out on the sky deck and could not believe his eyes. About six or seven Cyclopes' were on the deck and Annabeth was fighting them all on her own.
These were much smaller than the Elder Cyclopes'. They were about nine to twelve feet tall. One Cyclopes lunged towards Annabeth, she dogged it swiftly. The only problem was that the whole boat went sideways.
Annabeth caught my eye and yelled, "We have to get them off or –" she turned and engaged in battle with an advancing Cyclopes. But Jason didn't need to hear anymore. They would have to get them off or the Ship would sink.
"Go! Get the others!" Annabeth said before he could unsheathe his sword – one he'd borrowed from the armory. It didn't quite fit in his hands the way his imperial gold weapon had, but it was better than nothing.
"No! I'll stay here, you get the others!" Jason ordered.
Annabeth nodded and made a beeline for the door to the stairs that led down into the ship and the compartments in which their friends slept.
Jason sliced at one of the monsters right at the back of his left calf. The monster howled in pain, and Jason took that moment to stab it in the eye. This Cyclopes now blinded and incapable of doing anything except cry, Jason left for later. He turned now to the advancing Cyclopes behind him. This one was a whole foot taller than the last, making him about ten feet tall.
Jason had to jump to reach his heart. But his leap was slightly unbalanced and he missed, hitting the monster's arm instead.
The Monster's reaction to this was to jolt his harm upward in pain, smacking Jason like a fly in process. Jason flew across the deck and landed on the other side, right at the feet of the third and last Cyclopes. Annabeth had killed the others.
Jason did the thing that came naturally – he stabbed the monster in the toe with his sword. There was a yelp and as Jason scrambled up he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
The Cyclopes was hoping up and down, holding his toe saying "Owie! Owie!"
But after three hops, the big guy lost his balance and tumbled backwards – just as Jason had suspected.
Jason ran forward and slashed his sword across the monster's chest - Once, twice…
The monster staggered backward until he hit the bulwark.
Jason through all his strength into his next swing and sent the monster tripping off the side off the boat and into the water with a huge splash!
When he turned back to the last two monsters he saw that Annabeth and Thalia had taken care of them.
"You okay, little bro?" Thalia asked Jason.
"Yeah, I'm fine…" Jason said, between deep breaths. He hadn't even realized he was panting.
Leo emerged from the stairs with Grover behind him.
"What's all the racket?" Grover asked, scratching his head. He had evidently been sleeping.
"Nothing you need to worry about," Jason assured the satyr, "we took care of it-"
"I don't think you have," Said a dark, menacing voice from somewhere behind the ship.
Jason, Thalia and Annabeth turned in union to look for the source of the voice. But there was no one to be seen.
Yet the voice kept talking.
"Where you are headed – Camp Jupiter – a boy awaits you're arrival. And like all us humans – he has a weakness. He has someone who he can be baited with. That someone is on this ship. And I don't think we can let them go with you." The voice hissed. Jason would have thought it was the voice of some snakelike monster if he hadn't heard the voice say like all us humans.
"What are you talking about?' Jason demanded. He walked forward toward the source of the voice. Annabeth and Thalia did the same, as if they were drawn to it.
"You know very well what I'm talking about Jason Grace…" The voice was definitely female. And the voice it's self held some kind of magic in it. You could almost hear the magic mixed in with the sound. "All I needed was a distraction…" The voice giggled and there was a sudden yelp behind them.
Jason turned around sharply, only to see Grover being dragged away by humans, no demigods, towards some sort of a portal of brownish-grey swirls.
Annabeth yelled and jumped forward, but they were too far away now. Jason ran after her, sword in hand, hoping to get there in time.
He was only a few steps away…
One step…
But they were gone. And so was the portal to wherever it was they went. And Grover was with them.
Annabeth slumped to the floor next to Jason.
"Percy," He heard her whisper, "They're going to use Grover to bait Percy…"
… Jason suddenly didn't want to join Percy, Thalia and Annabeth. He couldn't face Percy.
How could he face a guy and tell them that he'd failed to protect his best friend.
Jason knew it wasn't really his fault – what happened to Grover – but he couldn't help but blame himself either.
He hadn't known the Satyr for very long, but for the short time that he had known him, he had seemed pretty cool. And that didn't help matters for Jason at the moment.
Jason lingered behind with the rest of the crowd that had closed up as Annabeth explained what had happened to Grover and how.
Percy just stared at her in shock, as if he couldn't comprehend a word she said.
"So… so Grover… Grover's gone?" Percy's eyes were as dry as a dessert but his face looked as if he could cry any minuet.
Annabeth put a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry Percy. It was my fault. I should have protected him… I'm so so sorry…" Annabeth sounded close to tears herself, but of course, neither of them cried.
Jason couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't let Annabeth blame herself. He took a step forward, ready to face Percy and tell him that it was his fault. He was leading the quest, and he was responsible for everything that went wrong.
But before he could say anything Leo walked up with a bag in hand.
"Okay! Now that we're all gathered up, there is something Jason and I need to tell you guys!" He addressed the crowd.
If it hadn't been for the familiar bag, Jason would have been clueless as to what in the name of Jupiter Leo was talking about.
"Right," Jason remembered, walking up to Leo and taking something bronze out of the bag. It was a bronze cell phone. Everyone, intrigued by the phone took a closer look.
"Now these," Jason indicated the phone in his hand, "are made completely of bronze and are powered by magic. Thanks a lot to the daughters and sons of Hephaestus and Hecate, this circle of Demigods who will be travelling on the Argo will have a safe way to contact each other. But there are conditions. You can only call from one celestial bronze phone to another celestial bronze phone – and the longer you talk, the more the monsters can sniff out the signal. No calling anyone except one of us, or you might as well be talking on a regular cell phone. Everyone got it?" Jason asked. People muttered their agreements and nodded their heads.
Jason glanced at Percy, who had seemed to have heard a single word he's said. But that didn't worry Jason, since he already explained the plan to Annabeth. He was sure she would take care of Percy once the poor guy was out of shock.
Leo and Jason handed one phone to each demigod. Soon enough the bag was empty. Leo and Jason already had their cell phones in their pockets; the same ones they had been using to contact each other inside the camp itself.
"Okay! No time to waste… take 'em to the ship Leo, I'll be right back…" Jason was still worrying. Where was Reyna?
"Okay, man." And with that, Leo started towards the ship, beckoning the campers to follow him, shouting, "All aboard!"
Jason had to smile. At least Leo was enjoying something – even if he was only in charge for, like, two seconds.
But then Jason's smile faded when he locked eyes with Piper.
She was looking at him… coldly. As if she knew he was worrying about Reyna.
But, even so, why would Piper be so upset about that? Reyna was his friend, and Piper of all people would understand that Jason cared about his friends.
But Jason quickly pushed the thought out of his mind. There was no way Piper could read his mind.
Control it? Yeah sure.
Read it? Nah.
However, something at the back of Jason's mind told him this wasn't the same old Piper he'd fallen for.
With that happy thought, Jason jogged up towards Reyna's Praetor house.

At first, Jason didn't think anyone was in the room. It was dark and quite. Emptiness seemed to radiate off of it.
Though there was something else there too. Something that kept Jason in the room long enough to notice the purplish-black lump on the bed.
As he moved closer, he realized the lump was Reyna.
For a horrible moment he almost thought… but no. She was alright. She was… sleeping?
Her breathing was steady and her eyes were closed. Yeah. She was sleeping.
Why the hell was she sleeping?
Jason wondered if this really was Reyna, because he had never figuratively caught Reyna 'sleeping on the job', and he'd never dreamed of it happening literally.
He reached for the lamp on the side table on the other side of the bed and switched it on.
The room filled with a bright, golden light. Some of it even poured through the window above the headboard of the bed and onto the grass.
The bright light woke Reyna up instantly, who had always been a light sleeper.
Jason felt a pinch of pride about how much he knew about this girl.
Jason hesitated a moment before beginning his interrogation.
He'd only once seen Reyna caught off guard. It was a long story that had to do with roses and wood nymphs.
But seeing her like this, after so many months of not seeing her at all, was amazing.
Why so? Jason had noticed that when Reyna wasn't trying to look strong and controlling, she looked soft and at peace.
Her face wasn't hard looking, her lips weren't set in a line, her hair wasn't constantly being pushed back and, most of all, her eyes… they looked more like black syrup – soft and sweet – rather than endless, lethal black voids.
She looked… pretty…
"Jason?" Reyna repeated, snapping her fingers in front of his eyes. He hadn't noticed that she'd been calling his name.
She was sitting up straight now, back to the normal, impassive Reyna. Except, her eyes betrayed one emotion; confusion.
"Jason, what the hell happened?" It took Jason a moment to register that she was asking why she had been sleeping. So she didn't know?
"I could ask you the same thing… did you pass out?" Fear flooded through Jason, "Are you okay?" He said, more seriously. He started pulling down the skin under her eyes to see whether her iron level was low or not.
He'd learned from a child of Apollo that if the flesh on the inside of your eyelids was too pink, you had low iron level.
But Reyna seemed fine. So then what was wrong?
Reyna shoved his hand away from her face, not unkindly.
"I'm fine Jason," she assured him, "I just can't remember exactly what happened… I think… no."
"What?" Jason asked urgently.
"Nothing, nothing. It's okay. I'm okay, just tiered." She said all this very robotically, Jason noted, as if she'd been told to say this. But despite her claims of being okay, when she tried to stand up she stumbled and almost fell.
But Jason caught her. She fell straight into his arms.
She balanced herself, using his shoulder and chest as support, and then looked up at him.
She realized what had happened and, believe it or not, blushed.
It was a slight pink but Jason was ready to faint right there. Reyna never ever blushed. And she looked great when she did - Or maybe just so unlike the usual Reyna that it made her seem attractive.
Or maybe I'm so crazy about her I think everything she does is attractive!
Wait, whoa. Jason thought, where'd that thought come from?
"Look," Reyna said, "I'm sure it was nothing. I told you, I've just been tired." Her tone was the same; lifeless and rehearsed. However, something in her eyes was begging Jason not to ask any more questions. And so he didn't.
"Okay, let's get back to the ship. Don't want to keep anyone waiting." or arise certain gossip. But that went with everything between these two without saying. People at Camp Jupiter would stop at nothing to get something romantic going between Jason and Reyna.

AN: I KNOW. I said I'd write longer ones, but I just feel so bad for not updating, I write fast and short just to give you something to read! Okay, so I hope there was enough action in there because God knows I haven't been giving enough of that.
But the action packed stuff is just coming! Just you wait!
Anyway comment/review! Not that you've ever disappointed me :D
