Meeting Hermes again wasn’t your ideal choice, but here you were face-to-face with your father once again. The quest to bring back the lightning bolt was interesting so far, but that’s the point of being a demigod, right?   Now all four of you—minus Grover as he went to search for Hermes alone. Left you Percy, Annabeth, and in the Lotus Casino, music playing the background. Party goers gambling on their money and losing it in the end—the nice stuff.   But things became salty when you heard they had to search for Hermes, which killed your mood immediately. And Annabeth knew that. But soon enough, you found Hermes sitting in a booth. Percy slides into the booth, you and Annabeth following in.   Percy didn’t know what to say. “So uhm,“ he started out, but he got interrupted by you. You started going on and how he was a terrible father; he wasn’t even a father to you and Luke. Just a man in the shadows, Percy and Annabeth were silenced by your outburst and didn’t know what to say.   Soon you stormed out of the booth. Annabeth shot a look at Hermes before going after you. Percy looked back at Hermes with a confused look etched across his face. Yeah, he knew Luke disliked Hermes dearly and supposed you did too. But how bad did this resentment go? “What… happened?” He asked, turning his body towards Hermes. He wanted to know now, after the whole situation happened.
