'Should I cure her of the coma now?' Percy wondered, it would be strange if she suddenly woke up just as Percy was with her. But then again Percy didn't want the girl to stay in a mental limbo if he could help it.
So with a shrug Percy threw caution to the wind and used his powers one last time and healed the girl of her last alimet.

Just as the golden glow from the healing settled down the door opened and Sally and Maria walked in with a cup of coffee in their hands.
"Thank you for looking after her," the latino mother said taking a sip of her coffee, "and thank you Sally. This visit means a lot."
Sally nodded, "not a problem Maria," Sally turned to Percy and widened her eyes, "Percy are you okay?!"
'Way to attract attention mom,' Percy sighed, "yeah, I'm fine."
Maria now noticed Percy as well, "Percy, you're sweating. And you look exhausted."
"Nothing a nap won't fix," Percy said with a smile.
Just as Maria and Sally were about to check up on Percy once again a groan came out from Tabitha as well as a word, "my-mom-my?"
Maria's grip of her cup failed causing the ceramic cup to fall out her grasp. Percy moved quickly and grabbed the cup before it hit the floor and then moved back as Maria ran to her child's side, "Tabitha? Tabitha honey can you hear me? It's me, it's mommy."
The woman had tears flowing out as the small shield opened her eyes, "mommy? Is that you?"
"Baby girl," Maria said with tears as she grabbed the child in a light and gentle hug, still afraid of breaking her. But then Tabitha did what she couldn't for over a year. She lifted herself up and curled her arms around her mother's neck and hugged back. Maria cried harder, the tears flowed even more now.
As mother and daughter hugged each other Percy and his mom slowly walked out into the empty corridor given the two some space.
"Thank you for that Percy," Sally said, looking at the two people inside still hugging, "ever since I knew Maria she had been worried only about her daughter. The poor woman has suffered enough, I wanted to help her anyway I could."
"Didn't I tell you that you would never have to say thanks?" Percy asked with a smirk drinking the rest of Maria's coffee.
"You did a good thing Percy," Sally said with a smile.
"I know, I'm a hero. It's what I do," Percy smiled as he finished the cup of coffee, "Although I never imagined I could ever use my powers….like this."
Sally smiled, "maybe you should become a doctor when you grow up."
Percy shrugged, "maybe." 'I could if I wanted to. I can learn everything I would need to know in the press of a button, and I beat if I am careful enough not to get caught I could help a lot of people.'
"So will you be leaving now?"
Percy nodded, "yeah, if I stay too long monsters might catch my scent."
Sally sighed, "take care of yourself Percy," she then pulled Percy into a hug, "and remember I am always there for you. You may live in a world filled with things I cannot even being to imagine, but I am still your mother."
Percy smiled and held his mother close, "thanks mom."
Sally broke the hug, "I'm proud of you."
Percy smiled, "I know. Well, guess I better get going," Percy turned and took out his Goggles from his inventory. He put them on but then turned to his mom, "hey mom could I ask you a favour?"
Sally nodded, "what is it dear? Need more blood?"
Percy shook his head, "no, I was just wondering whether I could take Leo with me."
"Leo?" Sally asked surprised, "whatever for Percy?"
"It's just that Leo hasn't grown at all since I last saw him, and that was a year ago. I think it has something to do with the fact he is supposed to be with me or something."
"Hmm, well the vet I took him too just said that Leo was a slow grower, but that could also be the Mist talking. Well I suppose it does make sense that a magical creature can only grow up in a magical environment."
Percy nodded, "right. And the reason I gave Leo to you was because I wanted someone strong enough to protect you while I'm gone. Since Leo can't do that right now I think it's best I train him for some time before I give him back."
Sally nodded, "okay Percy. He's all yours."
Percy smiled, "thanks mom. I'll get them from the Castle's, oh, and before I forget, here," Percy opened his inventory and pulled out a green casino card with a lotus printed on it;
Lotus Cash Card,
This card may be used as a debit card anywhere.
Money contained within- Infinite.
Sally raised an eyebrow as she received the card, "what's this?"
"It's a casino card. Remember I told you I saved some kids form a casino?" Sally nodded, "well while I was there I got this. It has an unlimited amount of money in it."
Sally's eyes widened as she looked down at the little green plastic card in her hand, "h-how is that even possible?"
