Yeah, sorry, I know that wasn't. Great. [nico winces, leaning forward a little.]

Magnus doesn't remember Alex, does he? [she's. just. going to change gears now. not least because she feels like she's going crazy over this.]

[ annabeth just kind of waves her hand - not exactly waving nico off, but that will be a thing she will have to come back to.

magnus, on the other hand, is much easier. ]

Sort of [ a sigh, and annabeth drops her hand. ] He remembers Alex being here, but not them...dating.

[there's a lot they need to circle back to.]

Shit. Yeah, I was afraid of that. [a sigh.]

I honestly don't know the extent of what he remembers and doesn't? Their relationship for certain he doesn't remember, but he remembers me, and Hearth being here.

[ there's a brief, quiet second that follows that. annabeth misses him more than she's really able to say. but then she takes a breath and pushes past it. ]

Have you heard of that happening before?

[she shakes her head.]

No, but I'm newer than you are, so... yeah. [she drums her fingers, taking another sip.]

It seems like he remembers pretty much everything else. Honestly, at first I thought he was just repressing? He's creepy good at that.

[ she snorts a little at that. ]

He is good at it, but it's not that. Not unless he's on an entirely different level of repression. [ she pauses, before taking a breath. ] Do you think I should tell him about it?

[she twists her mouth up, thinking as she drums her fingers again.]

I don't feel good keeping it from him. But I don't know what the point would be, like--what's he supposed to do with that? Are we telling him just so we'll feel better?

[nico might be overthinking this.]

I don't think it'll help. If anything, it'll make things worse.

[ no, nico is completely right. telling magnus about him and alex is more to make her feel better than it is to make magnus feel better. she knows him better than that to think any good will come of her telling him he doesn't remember getting into a relationship and that the other person of said relationship is gone.

she sighs again. ]

I'm not going to tell him.

Good call. [another sigh.] Still don't like it, but... we don't really have good options here.

[she takes another sip.]

So. Guess we should probably circle back to that other thing, right?

No, we're definitely out of good options. But I'll deal with it if it comes up.

[ she presses her fingers into her forehead for a moment, before rubbing at the spot. she doesn't like this at all. doesn't like the idea of keeping anything from magnus. but she doesn't want to hurt him, either.

that's when she pauses. ]

Other thing?

The, uh, news from home. That I didn't want to talk about before.

[okay. not really a delicate way to phrase this, and it won't make the enormity of it go away. so. after a beat:]

Half the life in my home universe is going to be gone in, like, six months? Tops. Just like that. [aaaand just taking a very long sip of her coffee now]

[ annabeth's eyes widen at the recognition of the topic. ]

Oh, yes.

[ she sits up, then, whatever stress or leftover emotions from the earlier thread of conversation gone. she's here to listen, and when nico continues, annabeth just. pauses.

and let's the pause hang in the air, her brows raised. when she realizes the pause is going to continue on until she says something, annabeth tilts her head forward a bit. ]

I'm sorry- what?

I don't know, I--there are these six things. Infinity Stones. They can each control an aspect of the universe. This crazy alien guy, Thanos, he got all of them. The superheroes we've got couldn't stop him, so--

[nico is getting more and more agitated as she goes on, but she's keeping her voice down. she doesn't want to make a scene. she punctuates it with a snap of her fingers.]

Half of everything. Everywhere. Apparently.
