Absolutely, here you go:

''"Where have you been the last year?" I asked Thalia. "You've got like twice as many Hunters now!"''

''She laughed. "Long, long story. I bet my adventures were more dangerous than yours, Jackson."''

"Complete lie," I said.

''"We'll see," she promised. "After this is over, you, Annabeth, and me: cheeseburgers and fries at that hotel on West 57th."''

''"Le Parker Meridien," I said. "You're on. And Thalia, thanks."''

''She shrugged. "Those monsters won't know what hit them. Hunters, move out!"''

''She slapped her silver bracelet, and the shield Aegis spiraled into full form. The golden head of Medusa molded in the center was so horrible, the campers all backed away. The Hunters took off down the avenue, followed by their wolves and falcons, and I had a feeling the Lincoln Tunnel would be safe for now.''

(The Last Olympian, chapter 10, "I Buy Some New Friends")

You see, Percy being able to do that at the age of 13 is a moot point, since the arrows that was deflecting weren't shot by someone nearly as skilled in archery as a Huntress of Artemis (like Thalia), because those girls rivals the archery skills of the Apollo demigods. By the way welcome back, 8th! Glad to have you back!

Just thought it was a bit (insert word here) that when I came back after about a month people welcomed me and when 8th came back after about two months no one said a word.
