Drew and Piper

It was 3 in the morning on the roof of the Aphrodite cabin and piper was on the top of the world. So ecstatic she couldn't sleep, she had climbed to the rooftop and to look at the stars and to mill over the days event's in her head.

Girl friend.

Girl. Friend.

GIRL FRIEND. GIRL FRIEND. GIRL FRIEND.

Jason had called piper his girlfriend! (to quote some of her little sisters) Jasper was cannon! The ship was sailing and nothing could bring piper down...

"Why, If it isn't Miss Lois lane! Back from another romp with superman then?"

Well. Almost nothing.

Ever since he had come back from her quest Drew had dropped "Dumpster Queen" and had taken to calling piper Lois Lane. Lois shouldn't have been as bad, but the pure bitterness it was said with made it feel much worse.

Enough was enough.

"OK, that's it." Piper pulled herself up and turned towards her sister."I don't know what it is that males you hate me quite this much; because I got the quest, Because I got Jason or maybe it was me taking your position, but I am going off on some mystery death quest to find the roman camp in less than a fortnight and I want to enjoy what little time I have left before we sail off to our imminent doom or worse still Jason's now ex-girlfriend so could you please- sweet jesus, please- BACK. THE. EFF. OFF."

By the time she had finished her little rant Piper was panting for breath and stood less than a foot away from drew. She didn't really know what she had expected to come from this little outburst: Drew breaking down and confessing her truest feelings? Admitting her faults and leaving Piper alone? Flouncing off? Whatever it was, this wasn't it.

Drew started to laugh.

And laugh.

And laugh and laugh.

In fact Drew laughed until she was lying on the roof and holding her sides. Piper had no idea what in Tartarus was going on- where was the mask that Drew worked so hard to maintain?

After a while Drew finally gathered herself enough to stand up and pull out a hip flask, unscrew it and take a deep swig. That explained the absence of the mask.

"Do you want to know, why you piss me off so much, hon?" Piper would have answered her, but before she could Drew slipped off her heels, sat herself down on the cabin roof and patted the space next to her.

What the hell thought Piper, as she settled down next to her sister and looked at her expectantly. This should be good.

"The reason, Miss Lane, that you pee me off so goddamn much is the fact you could have been wonder woman. "

Piper was...totally and utterly confused and it must have shown on her face, since Drew elaborated;

"It's like...you have all this power, and get given this massive chance to prove it to everyone- to kick some serious ass and give our cabin a little respect what do you do with it? You do all the fighting, all the ass kicking , but then let Grace be all He-man -super-team-leader-golden-boy while you fawn over him and treat him like HE was the real hero. For gods' sakes from what I gather he spent half of the quest unconscious.

Honestly what did he do, until that final battle? What?!... Ok, so he saved you from Midas and...? ONE MINI QUEST. ONE. Hun, every one of you had one of those. You did just as much as he did, if not then more (For gods' sakes you even had to bring him back to life). You guys were the freaking JUSTICE LEAGUE, yet you're happy to let the camp believe you were the individual superman series, and that you were the sappy love interest Lane and Valdez was...I don't know Jimmy Olsen. Why?"

Piper was slack jawed in shock, this was not what she expected. She should have had so many questions, or comebacks or...or something. And yet the only thing she could think to say was,

"How do you know so much about super heroes?"

At this Drew Smirked, and started to pull up her top.

"Hades!" Hissed Piper, looking away as quick as she could. Drew snorted.

"Chill out McLean. Look."

Slowly Piper turned around to see...good gods...

"Is that tattoo superman...?"

"Making out with batman, yeah."

"But why would you..."

"I was drunk. It was comic-con. Don't judge me. You asked. Point is, you're not the only one who had a life before camp, McLean. We all have stories."

And with that Drew Pulled down her top, pulled out her flask and took another swig. After she swallowed it, with what seemed like a lot of difficulty, she offered the flask to Piper.

"I'm good thanks...Where the did you even get that? - I didn't think the Stolls dealt in booze."

Drew snorted, and Piper was scared for a second that Drew was about to start off laughing again, but instead she just gave despairing look:

"Puh-lease honey. No, I got this from Pollox. Me and him are bro-friends. Got a lot in common, trying to cope without our siblings. Whenever we miss them we get together and get drunk as skunks. It was Silena's birthday today, so bad memories are running amuck."

But that couldn't...she meant it made no sense. Not that it was Silena's birthday, she knew that was true. Clarisse had left a bunch of flowers on her old bunk that morning. (It had been empty for well over 8 months now, but no-one slept in it and no-one talked about it. Her pictures were still up, her bed was still made to her precise specifications, as if she had just gone out to see Charlie and would be back any minute. The bunk had become so taboo that Drew herself hadn't tried to get rid of it.)

No, it being her deceased sisters birthday wasn't the problem it was, well...

"Why would you care? You, you hated Silena, refused to wear black to her funeral, called her a traito-"

Piper was cut off by an icy glare from Drew.

"Don't you dare pretend to know a damn thing about me princess."

Once again Piper was left speechless, as Drew looked to the stars, staring at them as if they may hold an answer (although to what Piper may never have know). After a while of this awkward silence Drew gave an empty kind of sigh, pulled a crumpled note out of her pocket which she then placed in Piper's hand.

" I think I understand the end of this now. I was thinking about the wrong guy and that's how the cabin got messed up so bad...well that and the- ugh, not important, point is maybe it's just as well you took my position. I wasn't much good was I, hon? She meant Luke.

Remember, kid. You are wonder woman. You're a hero in your own right, not just by ascociation. "

And with that Drew left.

After a couple of minutes of trying to work out what the Hades just happened, it finally occurred to Piper to read the note. It was written on pink writing paper, monogrammed in the left corner with an SB. Silena Beuregard.

Dear Drew,

First off, let me say I'm sorry. Gods Drew I'm so, so sorry. By the time you've read this I will be gone and you will know what I'm sorry for and I can't tell you enough just how sorry I really am.

Now that's over, I have one last favour to ask you, seeing as your the next in line for the cabin leader.

I have made a horrible mistake and I deserve punishment, but I have hopefully avoided that, and am now with Charlie again. So here goes.

Drew honey I did a terrible thing and you guys need to remember that. I betrayed you all and am most likely about to die leading my best friends siblings to their deaths trying to fix my mistakes. I am a traitor, Drew, And I have been for years. Don't remember me for anything but what I was.

Oh, and for gods' sakes do not wear black to my funeral. It is not your colour sweety.

Hold up fort, and remember what I said. Don't make my mistakes- any of them. Don't let a guy be your weakness.

With Love (and I really mean it)

Lena.

oOoOoOo

After she got back from her so called death quest, and got back to her cabin Piper couldn't help but smile, even with all the sucky, sucky stuff that had happened. Silena's bed had been changed, and now it belonged to Lauren, who had been claimed on her 13th birthday two weeks prior. A Picture of Silena and Charlie was in the centre of the pin board, surrounded by pictures of the other couples in camp, which the cabin were no longer trying to break apart: Percy and Annabeth, Her and Jason, Chris and Clarisse...And a new addition Drew and Pollux.

Best of all resting on pipers pillow was a parcel with a note on top reading:

Nice Job Diana. Guess you're the hero after all. Tell anyone about this and I will cut you. XOXO Drew.

Inside the parcel was a compilation-book-thing of Comic books - The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, issues 1-4.

Ok, so that was that then. I'll try to post the next chapter within the next few weeks. Next up is either Thalia and Jason or Leo and Nyssa (once Leo comes home). Or if anyone reading has any Ideas then please leave them in the comments or PM me.

Thanks for reading - Robbie
