Who's Strong and Brave Here to Save the American Way?

[halfbloodhillmods]

Who: Steve Rogers, Annabeth Chase, an NPC demigod...and a surprise
What: Going to get the demigod Tybalt and Dave heard about in Saratoga Springs.
Where: Northern New York
When: May 14-15th
Why: Because Captain America

For once, this quest doesn't have an official prophecy telling the questors to go. This time, it's mostly a warning.

Where the cat and red-eyed one had gone
To save this child they need brains, then brawn.
Siblings two shall go forth
And one shall come into his worth.

But mind the dangers in the Springs
For there shall be one to pull the strings
Of others that are still unknown
And one who will one day atone.

Cheerful little ditty, isn't it?

They had planned to send Annabeth anyway, but the prophecy mentioned siblings so Chiron (reluctantly) told Steve that he was going to get to go on this quest as Edmund was too new. There's no big to-do over this one, though there's still a chance to tell the two good-bye.

[When Edmund sees Steve, he has to do a double-take. Not because Steve is suddenly buff, though that's definitely a part of it. It's just that at first he sees what he thinks is Peter. A second glance tells him that no, it's not. It's just...a very buff Steve. Wow. Edmund needs a moment to get his thoughts in order first, after giving his half-brother a very shocked look.]

Uh...is this a normal thing that happens after you get back from a quest?

[Yes, he's...trying to move on from the fact that he thought Steve was his older brother.]

Um. [Steve gives him a sheepish look right back, and rubs the back of his neck.]

Not generally, no. But this is the first one I ever went on, so.

["Scrawny kid" his foot, M.]

Well. Apparently you made a good impression on some god.

[thestarspangledman]

I guess I did. I didn't do much.

[brat_king]

[He gives Steve a look.]

Didn't do much, and yet you look like you could wrestle a bear.

[thestarspangledman]

All I did was get a kid out of his house. [That was on fire. Yeah.]

[brat_king]

[Edmund shakes his head. Steve, your modesty physically hurts sometimes. In a weirdly endearing way.

These feelings are starting to turn into a Problem.]

So, what happened? The whole story.

[thestarspangledman]

Well, uh, there was a dame workin' with Gaea that set Shea's house on fire. Shea's the kid we went to pick up. So I had to get him and his dad out. That's about it.
