AN: Quick freeverse poem set somewhere around when Jason and Thalia reunite in TLH. For the anon on tumblr who asked for a Thalia-Jason fic. Not what I thought I'd end up with, but writing this got me thinking and I'm now extremely intrigued by their relationship. Maybe more fics coming up? Who knows. Enjoy and leave your thoughts in a review! Thanks for reading.

Distance

she's a flash of lightning

brilliant

bright

[and just a little bit intimidating up close]

she's his

sister

and even if

he's only seen his

father

twice in his life

and even if

he's just learned his

mother

is an alcoholic who

a-b-a-n-d-o-n-e-d

him

she's his sister

and even if

he hasn't seen her since he was

just two

and she spends most of her time

~running around the country~

something tells him

she

/will/

be

there

for him

not for the new kid

not for the son of Jupiter

not for the weird amnesiac

for him

her b.r.o.t.h.e.r

and right now that's

all he needs.
