Relic Room, London Sanctum

Annabeth's head spun. You can't make someone mortal forever? Then a thought hit her.

"What if it was the Gods?" she asked Strange. He looked like he was deep in thought, but then he snapped his fingers.

"Which ones?" he questioned, and Annabeth struggled to recall the meeting that had decided Percy's fate. "Hold up a second. Annabeth, is it okay if I try to view the memory? From your point of view?" Annabeth nodded. Strange walked up to her, and placed his fore-and-middle-fingers on her temples. Suddenly, she felt as if she were falling, down, down, down, until...

Throne Room, Olympus, 5 years ago

Thump. She landed in the Throne Room on Olympus, and no-one paid any attention to her.

"So, this is it."

Scratch that. No-one except Strange, who had landed next to Annabeth. He offered her a hand, and she got up. Everything was exactly as she remembered.

"Perseus Jackson," rumbled Memory-Zeus. Memory-Percy muttered something that sounded like, 'It's Percy'. M-Zeus continued.

"It has come to my... our attention that you have managed to defeat both Kronos and Gaia. For these reasons, we have come to the conclusion that you are too dangerous to continue existing. "

There was an outbreak of noise. Some of the Gods, like Ares, looked excited, some looked angry, like Poseidon and, surprisingly, Artemis, while some just looked bored, like Mr. D. M-Zeus waved a hand for quite. The noise died down, but someone shouted. M-Artemis.

"This boy has protected us and our children! And you have the audacity to call him a threat, Father? If this is Olympian justice, I will have none of it!" she exclaimed loudly. M-Poseidion looked beyond furious.

"Do you think my son threatens your precious throne, brother? Is this why you want to be red of him? " M-Poseidon said, in a deadly sounding voice. M-Zeus looked uncomfortable.

"He threatens Olympus!" M-Zeus yelled. M-Poseidon glared at him, then at each God in turn. Some withered in his gaze, and others stared defiantly up at him. M-Poseidon turned to face them all.

"If any of you hurt him, not even the Three Fates will be able to help you." M-Zeus flinched. Annabeth watched her past-self wince.

"We will not kill him," M-Zeus assured. He thought for a moment, then a twisted smile split his face. "We will make him mortal. " Annabeth heard a sharp intake of breath from Strange's direction. She had been so caught up in the memory, she'd forgotten he was there. She watched M-Annabeth turn away from Percy, and then there was a blinding flash of blue light.

"It is done." She heard M-Zeus say with satisfaction, and then she felt like she was falling, down, down, down, until...

Percy's quarters, London Sanctum

Percy heard a loud crash from the Relic room, and ran out the door, passed a grinning Jasmine. He paused for a second to wonder how Jasmine knew it was going to happen, but ignored that and raced into the Relic room.

Relic Room, London Sanctum

Percy raced through the door, and saw Dr. Strange and Annabeth passed out on the floor.

"What happened? " he demanded. The ambassadors looked shocked.

"I... Strange said he was going to 'view Annabeth's memories' and touched her temples. They passed out a minute later," Will said. Percy groaned.

"He's gone and looked at her memories of the trail, hasn't he? Oh, you can be thick, sometimes, Doctor," he said in exasperation, glaring fondly at Dr. Strange. He opened a Sling portal to the Sanctum's infirmary, and performed a few complex hand movements that made them both levitate. Using his hands like a conductor, Percy gestured at the portal, and they flew through it. Percy followed them through. He stuck his head out, and said,

"Get Wong, would you?"

created another portal, and closed to the first one. The three demigods looked at each other, baffled.

"Well," said Thalia, breaking the silence. "We might as well do as he asked." And she stepped through the portal, coming face to face with a stoic-looking Asian man. Beyonce music played from an MP3 player. He opened his mouth.

"No portals in the library!"
