[...this...surprisingly went okay. That's about the only reason that Luke decides he's finally fine with turning his head to look at Adam even with both eyebrows raised. But then again, he's deduced that Adam's either from a world where weird shit happens in other ways, or he's just amazingly chill. Probably the former.]

Yup. I'm the hero of the prophecy and for years people like my parents and Hal knew that, I think. Or at least knew that I'd be on the path to that. And Annabeth's knife was the cursed blade because I'm the one who accidentally cursed it. I don't know how she did it, but...she got to me. [Because he cared about her. He already knows that. It's the next question that leaves him sort of floundering again.] There's no way I'm asking Alice something like that. Besides...I already know what'll happen to me if I make it out. [He huffs.] Heroes go to Elysium. They get the chance to try for rebirth. Pretty sure I was on my way to Tartarus to be sorted before I was pulled here instead. So...you can see why some people might thing I'm a better target if they knew all of that. I don't have anything to go back to because as soon as I go back, I'm starting over as somebody else. Or going back to being dead. Nobody needs to know I can try for rebirth.
