Consider this request: Percy and Annabeth on opposite teams on Capture the flag and they swap bodies 👀

:P sorry this took so long lol, but thank you for your lovely ask to @alicekumori! As promised, a one-shot just for you!

One-shots are still up for grabs should you send my dear friend an ask asking about Herakles boyfriend, Daddy Ares, or anything equally as entertaining for me to watch.

OO OO OO OO

Annabeth stalked through the woods, carefully watching her surroundings.

Her invisibility cap was on, but she still made noise as she moved, so she needed to be careful.

She’d slipped past the front lines of the battle, stepping on stones in the river to get across (going in the river wasn’t a good idea, Percy had gotten better at sensing things through water and he would know her immediately). Now she was sneaking towards Zeus’ fist, where she knew Percy would have guarded his flag.

The woods occasionally filled with the sounds of clashing blades, twangs of bows, screams and shouts, but was overall not too noisy in this section.

She’d decided to take the long route, not wanting to risk a switch if her emotions got too heated. The last thing she needed was for Percy to realize her plan by taking her body.

Of course, that turned out to be for naught.

Zeus’ fist came into view and she crouched, ready to slip forward past the lines and grab the flag before making a break for it, and then she was standing in the river, arm bleeding and stinging even as the water curled over it to heal it.

It took only a moment to orient herself, her body now a boys, her form now visible, and her weapon (a sword) in hand and blocking an attack.

The enemy charged for her, her siblings actually, and she narrowed her eyes before swinging her free hand around to send water knocking them back.

It was always nice to have control of water when in Percy’s form, but now she had to pretend to be him and to fight on his side.

How annoying.

She turned neatly, slipping past Fiona’s guard and slamming her sword hilt on her arm, forcing her to drop her own. A quick motion brought the flat of the blade down on her helmet and she staggered back, Malcolm pulling her out of the way even as Yewande and Mary moved forward.

Annabeth drew water up, sending it in a fast moving spiral around her to make it harder for them to reach her, and then sent more beneath them spinning up up around their bodies.

They staggered back with cries, but she simply raised the water, sending it shooting after them even as the water rippled behind her.

She ducked, blade swishing over her head, and sent a wave behind her with a crash.

There was a shout, Dylan, and the figure moved out of range.

An arrow slammed into her arm a moment later, the blunted head not breaking skin but slamming with enough force to stagger her, and she hissed at the hammer blow on her arm. It ached something fierce until it didn’t and she was stumbling over a branch.

She blinked, taking just a moment to recognize the body as her body before righting herself and bolting.

Seemed Percy had grabbed the flag for her while she was fighting for him, very nice. She could hear her pursuers (they weren’t allowed invisibility when they held the flag, it was required to be visible at all times) and quickly sped up. The river was ahead she knew, she just needed to get across it and she’d be safe.

She aimed for an area away from where she’d been battling as Percy, knowing Percy would be the barrier stopping her from winning.

Water rushed through her ears and she readied herself to leap across the section ahead of her, only for a wave to raise, sending her crashing into the water, and promptly depositing her back on the wrong side of the shore.

Water lapped at her feet and strengthened her as she stepped forward, the wave lowering and swirling around her.

Her eyes narrowed as she saw herself huffing and stumbling to her (his, that was Percy in her body) feet.

She mentally grumbled once more at having to be Percy when she wanted to win the conflict, but she would never sabotage Percy in such a manner so she could win. She would just have to trust him as her to slip around her as him.

“Come on, Annabeth,” she said with a smirk. “You didn’t think you’d be getting past so easily, did you?”

Annabeth who was Percy stood, eyes narrowing on her.

“Well, it was worth a shot,” Percy mused. “I mean, my siblings were keeping you busy before.”

“I handled them,” Percy who was Annabeth said with a smirk. “You didn’t think they could win in the river did you?”

“I have faith in their skills... and in my other allies skills.”

Annabeth parsed through that for just a moment, she had several plans to counter Percy, but none that were in affect now-

Her body seized as electricity shot through her body and she fell forward, the water tumbling from her grasp in her shock.

She blinked quickly and watched Percy fall, Clarisse behind him, pulling her spear out of the water, and she grinned.

She backed up, then raced forward and leapt, hitting the ground with a roll forward and popping up to her feet next to Clarisse.

It was their victory!
