Just after Annabelle ran inside, a small, round automaton two cm in diameter flew over the deck and settled, tiny legs stabilizing it near the stern. It was a portable warp point, sent by an official who knew he would not arrive in time to speak before the ship would leave...

Jay was walking the deck as they were ready to set off and saw the automaton. The Peeled it off the deck and held it firmly in his as if to crush it.

Quentin looked up and chuckled, "It must be doomsday. A child of Athena being late is unheard of!" He teased her lightly and then stood. "Well if you guys need me I'll be in my room. Adios." He walked out to the hallway and turned out of sight.
A shimmer appeared in the room right behind Anabelle and Cory's face appeared in a park. He gave out an amazed sigh as he just looked at Anabelle for a second and then said, "Hey Anabelle!"

Anabelle gave him a look. "You guys are just early!" She turned around and her eyes lit up as she smiled. "Cory!" She blew him a kiss. "What's up?" She asked, noticing the park behind him.

Cory's eyes were dark and were starting to water slightly. He reached out to her then flinched back, "W-where are you? I need you. I'm doing training and I-I just really need you right now."

Anabelle's eyes filled with concern. "Leaving on a quest with Jerez and a few others. But I'm not needed at the moment. And they can always do it without me if I'm gone a while. Hang on a second." She ran onto the deck where Jerez was. "Jerez? Cory iris messaged me, said he needs me. I really need to go, but I'll be back. Just let me know if anything comes up."
She ran back into the room where Cory was waiting. "Ok. Tell me how to get to you and then tell me exactly what's wrong."

Cory had calmed down a bit and he glanced around nervously as if someone might be listening, "I'm in Seattle. I can send a friend to come and get you. He could be there in a matter of minutes. Then I can take you back to your quest..." He fiddled with stuff in his hands and then said, "I want you at my side from now on until...until I get rid of...someone." His eyes filled with an evil darkness and he said, "My friend Tiodus will come get you. Please just be careful. I don't want to loose you too."

(It's Jay not Jerez) "I...uhh...ok" Jay scratched the back of his neck and almost forgot about the little machine he had a tight grip on.

(oh duh, sorry) Anabelle nodded. "Ok." Her eyes softened. "I always am. Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."

Cory gave a weak smile, "See you in a bit." He just looked at her for a moment, about to say more but then he waved his hand through the iris message, vanishing from Anabelle's view.
Quentin walked back into the lounge and looked at Anabelle and asked, "Something up?"

Anabelle glaned over at Quentin and nodded. "Cory iris messaged me. He's sending someone to get me, but I won't be gone too long."

Quentin raised an eyebrow, "Cory? The great Cory Jason, son of Nyx, needs help? I swear the world is ending." He just sat down and sighed, "I wish I had what you and Cory have with my crush."

Jay stood in the doorway and leaned against the frame, his arms crossed. "The GREAT Cory Jason?" Jay shook his head, "There's no such thing as a demigod who doesn't need help." He turned to Anabelle, "I've prepared a shadow travel conduit on the main deck, find something of Cory's and make sure it enters the portal first, then you can go in yourself. It'll stay there until you finish, but please, don't take long, I can't hold that thing for much longer than a month without killing myself." He turned back to Quentin and examined him, he didn't know what to think of the son of Apollo until now. The way he envied Cory and assumed he was some sort of immortal...Quentin was a kid at heart, he hadn't been exposed to the world they lived in...he was naive...and for the first time Jay was worried about tainting Quentin on this mission. No...he wouldn't insult him and his medical skills by telling him it was too dangerous. The kid volunteered, and he would see the mission through just like the rest of them. Coming to this conclusion Jay nodded at Quentin and said "You should make sure that all your belongings are stowed away, I have a feeling Zeus won't let our journey be a smooth one."

Quentin turned to Jay and just smirked, he could only guess what Jay was thinking about him right now. He shook his head, "I didn't mean it like that. I guess it must have come out wrong. What I meant was that I've never heard of Cory Jason asking for anyone's help. I didn't mean he never needs help. Everyone needs help, even the gods." He sighed, he really wasn't making a great first impression on any of these other demigods.
A voice sounded from behind Jay, in the hallway and said, "There will be no need for your portal, Jay Hawke. I got it covered." A guy, about 18 years of age, was leaning against a wall of the hallway. He ran a hand through his black and silver highlighted hair them smirked and held his hand out for Jay to shake it and said, "I'm Tiodus, Son of Hypnos. I'm here to collect Cory's girlfriend."

"Thanks Jay, but Cory's sending someone to get me." Anabelle replied just as Tiodus walked in. She looked over at him. "That would be me."
