          It was hard to focus. The pain in his side was causing his vision to blur and darken, but the blonde forced himself to stay awake. If Nico was determined to keep him alive then he was going to do his best to not let the kid down. Yet, the bitter reality of the situation was the only thing that was clearly laid out, especially after Nico asked him if he knew where they were.

          The monster attack must have pushed them way off course, and since there wasn’t any healing agent being pushed to his mouth Jason figured they must have ran out. He criticized himself for being so stupid for using too much of the ambrosia before and for not thinking about bringing more. It was stupid things like that which resulted in situations like the one he was in now. At least it was him that was injured and not the other demigod; then he really couldn’t forgive himself if something more drastic had happened.

          The demigod looked at his companion, hoping to see some signs of Nico forming a plan or figuring out what to do but instead he saw the panic and fear played out on his face. Reaching out, Jason placed his hand on Nico’s, surprised that his hand was almost warmer than his own, and gave it a squeeze. “We’ll figure it out, okay? Just calm down,” he smiled.

            He just hoped that the optimism would actually turn out to be true. Blue eyes looked back towards the sky. If only he could build enough strength to fly up and get a good look around; that would solve their problem in an instant. Yet, anytime he tried to move more than a few inches pain would shoot up his spine and the metallic taste of blood would fill his mouth. So Jason tried to rely on his other skills. He searched for any wind current, any path that could tell them they were near something important. A bridge, a highway, anything that could help, but all he could make out was a strange oddly direct current that lead off into something he couldn’t see. For all he knew his eyes could have just been playing tricks on him, but he decided to relay the information to Nico anyways.

            “My best bet would be to head that way.”
