Summary
“Why do you even care?” Jackie emphasized.
“Because we’re a fucking team, Jackie. We need to remember that or this- this is all gonna go to shit, I can see it.” Nat tilted her head, her gaze intense and inescapable. “You may not be my favorite person-”
“Gee, thanks,” Jackie mumbled.
“Shut up,” Nat said sharply, her voice becoming a tense whisper. “Can you just listen? You’re one of the few people who still seem to have their head screwed on. You’re not checking out and leaving me alone with the mob that got high and tried to sacrifice Travis to the trees or whatever the fuck that was, okay? The team needs you, Cap.”

Summary
On Percy's sixteenth birthday, stood before the Olympians; he never followed the line of Athena's gaze, never saw Annabeth's stricken face after he was offered godhood, and so his impulsivity got the best of him. At that moment, overcome with guilt and fear, he thought only of all the lives he might save if he were more powerful.

Thalia fell into step beside her. “This isn’t supposed to be your job anymore.”
“Yeah, I thought that was the deal too,” Annabeth agreed.
“I don’t like the sound of it, this prophecy. Seven? When has seven ever been a good number for a quest? And only demigods. Giants can only be defeated by gods and heroes together. How do they expect seven demigods to defeat them? The gods are fracturing and we all know its only going to get worse.” Then a thought seemed to occur to Thalia, and her jaw went slack.
Annabeth could see Thalia had caught up. They both knew they were thinking of the same person, Annabeth could see it in her sister’s eyes; the image of a god that was purely Greek, undivided, with every reason to be involved in the progress of a demigod’s prophecy. They both knew he was sure to involve himself one way or another, he wouldn’t be able to help himself.

Summary
“This is a terrible plan.”
“Well, it’s all we’ve got,” Ava said, pulling the oversized sweatshirt she’d been wearing over her head and throwing it aside, aware it was bound to catch on the window somehow if she didn’t. A part of her hoped Bea was looking as she revealed the bare arms underneath, flexing them under the pretence of limbering up. “Now, give me a boost.”
OR
There theoretically might be better ways to spend your Saturday night than locked in the university library with the hot hockey player you've been noticing non-stop for months, but Ava wouldn’t be interested.
