A/N - I'm SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY! I've just been so busy recently and I could never muster enough motivation to write this chapter. But I finally got it done for you guys because of all the support you've given me. So this chapter is longer, but it's the last one, so I think that's allowed.

I have had SO MUCH FUN writing this fic and the support you guys have shown me is amazing. Thank you for all your reviews, follows, and favorites.

Anyway, there is nothing else for me to say but, ENJOY!

This time, they headed back to Annabeth's hotel room. After, of course, they got Percy his burger. Annabeth had rented a room as soon as Magnus had called her. She knew that whatever story he had to tell would probably take more than a day to sort out, never mind her own story.

Annabeth took a seat at the desk chair, Magnus headed to the more comfy chair next to the window, and Percy collapsed on the bed, spread eagle on his back. A grin crept on his face, and Annabeth forced herself to look away. He may have been her boyfriend, but she didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that every time he grinned, she blushed.

"That was one good burger." Percy said, propping himself up on his elbows to get a better view of Magnus. "So, you could see through the Mist earlier?"

Magnus drew in his eyebrows. "Mist?"

Percy glanced at Annabeth. "Is he a mortal that can just see through the Mist? Like Rachel?"

Annabeth shook her head, but Magnus answered. "I'm far from mortal."

Percy looked back at Magnus. "Demigod?"

"Yeah. But perhaps more importantly, I'm a einherji. I'm, in all practicality, dead."

Percy nodded slowly. "So, you're a ghost?"

"Sort of. Well, yeah, pretty much. But I'm solid and can still die again, so no stabbing me with that scary looking sword."

Percy grinned. "What? Riptide here?" He pulled out a pen from his pocket and clicked it. In less then a second it had grown into a full sized sword. "Nah, she's normally pretty friendly. Unless you're a monster attacking Annabeth. Then you're dead."

Annabeth rolled her eyes, and looked away again from her boyfriend so he wouldn't see her grin.

Magnus grabbed the pendant of his necklace and it also grew into a full sized sword. However, his was obviously not greek. It's design was different from anything Annabeth had ever seen. The sides were straight instead of the way greek swords grew thinker from the handle and then curved somewhere in the middle and came to a point, and Magnus' sword had unfamiliar symbols all along the blade.

"Look, Jack, a pen." Magnus told it. " I told you a pen was a good idea." Magnus scolded his sword.

Pff, whatever. Jack the sword replied. I still like my pendent idea. You can loose pens way to easily. I mean, how many times have you lost a pen in your life?

Annabeth and Percy just stared. Magnus had told Annabeth that he had a talking sword earlier, so she wasn't sure what she was expecting, but somehow the fact that there was a literal talking sword in front of her was still bizarre.

Percy recovered first. "Your sword can talk?"

Of course I can talk. You act like you've never meet a talking sword before. Jack's voice seemed to hum from the sword. Annabeth wasn't sure how, but she could sense that the voice was coming from the sword.

Annabeth felt the need to defend Riptide. "Percy can't lose this pen. It just reappears in his pocket whenever he does." Annabeth explained, and then added, "Otherwise, he would have lost it ages ago."

"Ye of little faith." Percy shot at her.

"Just tellin' it like it is." Annabeth replied, shrugging.

"Anyway." Percy turned back to Jack and Magnus. "Hello Jack. That is your name, right?" Percy glanced at Magnus for confirmation.

"Well, actually," Magnus explained, "His name is Sumarbrander, but we've both decided that's too hard to pronounce, so he just goes by Jack."

Percy nodded and jerked his head towards his own sword. "Riptide's real name is Anaklusmos, so I get that."

"Anyway," Annabeth interrupted, "now that we've got that out of the way, we should talk." She turned to Percy as the boys put away their swords. "Magnus is a Norse demigod. Apparently my family has a thing with gods. Two demigods from two different mythologies in one generation of our family. Seems weird." Annabeth glanced between the two boys. "And I'm fairly certain that our Uncle Randolph is up to something."

Percy nodded. "Yeah, that is a little weird. Although multiple mythologies in one family isn't unheard of. Look at the Graces and Frank's family."

"Yeah, I guess so." Annabeth answered.

"So, now we have Norse, huh." Percy said, studying Magnus. "Who's your godly parent?"

"My dad is Frey. God of summer, balance, and prosperity. Who's yours?"

Percy glanced at Annabeth. "Annabeth didn't tell you?"

Annabeth bit her lip. "I thought maybe it would be best for you to tell him your story. It's long and I would probably end up ranting about something."

Percy looked back at Magnus. "I'm the son of Poseidon. God of the sea."

Magnus's eyes lit up. "So that's how you controlled the water from the water fountain in the train station."

"Yep."

"So how long have you known you were a demigod?"

Percy laughed. "Since I was twelve. And let me tell you, when I first started seeing monsters, I thought I was going crazy. Till my goat legged friend got me to Camp, and I woke up in the big house with a gorgeous girl with golden curles spoon feeding me." Percy stared, captivated by the memory, at his girlfriend. "That was when I knew I was way past crazy."

Magnus leaned back in his chair, glancing back and forth between the two of them. Annabeth felt slightly bad for him, it must have been pretty awkward for him to hear Percy talk about his cousin like that, but mostly she was just too busy smiling back, remembering. "If I recall correctly, which I do, the first thing I said to you was how you drool in your sleep."

Percy blushed and looked away. Annabeth cleared her throat and threw an apologetic smile to her cousin. "Anyways, I think we should fill Magnus in on some of the highlights of our adventures."

Percy bounced back like the whole "drooling" thing had never been brought up and gave Magnus a once over. "Yeah. So you've been involved in mythology for how long now?"

"I found out a week ago."

Percy puffed out his cheeks and blew air through his lips. He always did that when he was impressed but didn't want to show it. Annabeth smiled. She knew Percy would like her cousin.

"So," Percy said, "You found out you were a demigod a week ago, and you've already saved the world once?"

"Well, I don't know if it would really count as saving the world . . . Ragnarok is still going to happen. Eventually."

"I think that counts." Percy countered. "It took me at least two weeks to save the world my first time. Nice job."

Magnus shrugged. "I didn't think the end of the world sounded real fun. But, I want to know about you guys. You must have a whole lot of stories."

Percy smirked. "Yeah, you could say that. Where do I start?"

"Zeus's bolt." Annabeth suggested.

Percy pointed at his girlfriend. "Yes. Zeus's bolt. You see, when I first arrived at Camp Half-Blood, all the gods were in a frenzy because Zeus's precious lightning bolt had been stolen, and since gods can't steal each other's weapons, a half-blood must have done it. Everyone thought I was the lightning thief. Honestly, it got quite annoying after a little bit. But it didn't really matter that I hadn't stolen it, if I didn't find it and give it back to Zeus by the summer solstice, he was gonna get really pissed, which pretty much would have meant WWIII."

Percy proceeded to tell the story of that summer and then the next. Magnus was a good listener, adding funny commentary like, "Well, if you hadn't had a dream about your best friend in a wedding dress, could you really say you were best friends?"

When Percy had just started telling him about how Annabeth had been kidnapped the next winter, the door to hotel room flew open, interrupting Percy mid-sentence.

A middle-eastern girl wearing a green hijab rushed in, quickly surveying the scene and then heading straight towards Magnus. He stood up to meet her. "Sam?"

"Magnus." She answered, looking a little flustered and extremely worried about something. She glanced at Percy and Annabeth. "There is a problem with one of your . . . weirder relatives."

Annabeth stood up. "We know all about his weirder relatives. I'm Magnus' cousin, Annabeth." She extended her hand.

The girl seemed slightly surprised at Annabeth's forwardness, but took her hand anyway. "I'm Samirah." She turned to Magnus. "They know everything?"

Magnus nodded. "Yeah. They are Greek demigods."

Sam glanced back and forth between Percy and Annabeth. "Greek, huh? I didn't know there were any other types . . . but that's not the most important thing right now." She grabbed Magnus' shoulders. "Thor's pissed. His hammer is still missing, and now he has decided it's your fault."

"What?" Magnus protested. "But I didn't even know who I was until after it went missing. He even asked us to help him find it."

"I know. I think that's part of the problem. You didn't find it for him, so he's a little upset. We need to move. I have an idea where to start looking for it."

Magnus glanced at Annabeth. "Do you mind if . . ."

Annabeth waved him on before he could even finish his question. "Go. It sounds like you have some work to do." She pulled him into a quick hug. "Try not to get yourself killed. Again."

They both laughed as she let him go. "Good luck, cousin."

"You too." He replied. He nodded to Percy. "Nice to meet you."

Percy stood up and shook his hand. "Same here. Now go kick some godly butt for me."

Magnus nodded and said, "Will do."

Sam gave a friendly nod to both Annabeth and Percy, and then grabbed Magnus' hand and dragged him out the door.

Annabeth stared at the spot where her cousin had just disappeared. It was weird, knowing that now she and Magnus had such a huge thing in common, but it was also nice. One less secret to keep. It opened up a whole bunch of questions in her mind about her family, and her Uncle Randolph in particular, but for now, Magnus was alright. He was a Chase after all.
