Greek Mythology: Heroes and Challenges

In Chapter 15, titled 'A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers', Annabeth, Percy, and Grover are on an Amtrak heading to Denver. They attempt to contact Chiron using a rainbow created from car wash spray, but end up speaking with Luke instead. While at a diner, Ares, the God of War, buys them dinner in exchange for a favor: retrieving his shield from a water park.
