Percy and Grover travel back to New York City by plane. As the deadline to return the Master Bolt to Zeus approaches, they do not have time for any other form of transportation.


Percy knows that flying is off-limits for him because Zeus, the god of Heaven, currently suspects him of being the "lightning thief"—the one who stole the bolt in the first place. Percy takes the risk, as he has no other choice, and hopes that having the bolt with him will serve as "insurance": if Zeus decides to "blast him out of the sky," he will destroy his own bolt. However, Percy is still anxious all throughout the flight, and his fears are not unfounded. When he finally returns the bolt, Zeus grumbles about Percy's audacity. Poseidon, the god of the ocean and Percy's father, intervenes and calms Zeus down, thus reassuring Percy that he has made the right choice.
