    Summary

    The river Styx reflected his face against its murky water. It smelled of beer, seven-layer dips, and sweat. It smelled of garbage. For a moment, Percy was Gabe’s apartment again, locked inside his temporary room for the summer while Gabe’s voice demanded for his mom’s salary, as if his mom were the one who spent every night gambling. His reflection showed a boy, knuckles white over the edge of the boat, glaring at him with the same dirty hair and glowing green eyes. He was angry.

    Percy didn’t realize that he was leaning over the edge until Annabeth pulled him back, raising an eyebrow. She gestured at Grover, shaken up, murmuring prayers under his breath as they made their way down the river.

    Right. Underworld. Meeting Hades. For the bolt. For the quest. For his mom.

    OR

    Percy and Styx bonding.

    Summary

    Just as I was about to scrape a big slice of brisket into the flames, however, an idea struck me. I was hit with the need to ask Luke a question.

    I thought about Chiron’s lectures from when he was still just Mr. Brunner. The little morsels of information I’d gotten or could assume since arriving to camp.

    If I was to listen to my school counselor, this was also a part of ADHD, my brain connecting things faster than I could actually think, coming to conclusions before I could register them.

    Which, I suppose, was also the reason that what slipped out of my mouth wasn’t exactly the smartest way to phrase what I wanted to ask.

    “Am I adopted?”

    Luke blinked once.

    Twice.

    His eyebrows rose as the question registered.

    There was a beat of silence, then two, and I could feel heat trickling into my cheeks as I realized just how ridiculous that sounded.

    “I’m going to need you to elaborate on that one, Percy.”

    Summary

    Percy gets his memories back but things are not how he expected it to be. It gives him a new perspective and clarity of thoughts.

     

    When Athena told him about his fatal flaw, he didn't understand how fatal it was to him. He also didn't appreciate her wisdom in not getting together with Annabeth even though her reason is not why it was a bad idea. Standing in front of the doors of death and thinking about staying in Tartarus so his abusive girlfriend could escape, he understood why it's called fatal flaw and that even with the rare self awareness, he had no plans to leave if it meant Annabeth wouldn't have to stay in this hellhole.
