Chapter 12: The First Elimination (Pt. 2)

Percy POV:

Today's the day.

Why am I nervous?

The girls should be the ones jumping out of their skin, not me. I'm the bachelor, but never less, I'm still nervous and excited.

YAAAAYYYYYYY!

"Jason you ready?" I called from my room.

"Yeah almost," Jason replied.

We visited the whole Avenger acting crew, and Chris Evans and Robert allowed us to borrow Iron Man and Captain America outfits.

Being me, I bought them. Very expensive.

They suited up, and I was the only one wearing the outfit with the most skin exposed. Basically a purple outside suit coat, with nothing inside and a pair of black pants or jeans. Whichever you pick. I also needed to spray my hair green at some spots, and believe me, inhaling the paint was not fun. Face painting, fake tattoos, etc.

In the end, I nearly had a heart attack when I clenched my teeth together in the mirror.

"You know what you should be for Halloween?" Jason said while laughing.

"What?"

"a scaredy cat."

"Ha ha very funny, Jason," I replied, with both my hands up in the air. I was really getting used to this.

"Hey, guys!" Leo exclaimed. He ran out of the room with a satisfied smile on his face. He programmed the middle circle on his chest to illuminate the light and also upgraded the hand parts to spit water to look more realistic.

I stood there while Jason applauded slowly.

"Time to show the others?" I asked.

"Let's go." They both said.

The girls had NO creativity. Absolutely none.

Most of them were Scarlet Witch or Black Widow, and nobody ain't Vision or Hulk around here. (and Hawkeye for the Clintasha fans…)

"Hey, Percy…" The red-head came over and started to do weird hand movements.

I guess she was practicing exorcism?

"I'm a Scarlett Witch!"

Maybe not.

Then another girl pushed past the red-head and quickly interrupted, "It's not 'a'. If you want to say that you are Scarlett Witch, you need to say 'I'm Scarlett Witch'!"

"NO! You have to say 'I'M A',"

And there the argument started. I looked past all the girls who started scuttling towards me because they wanted a dance and eyed the corner of the room.

The door opened showing Agent 13 and… Pepper Pots in a suit?

Where did Calypso get that?

I went up to them and they weren't attracted to me like the other girls doing karate kicks and weird hand gestures.

"Hey! I was wondering-"

"Annabeth is almost here!" Piper squealed.

"Well then…" I muttered.

Calypso led Piper away from me and quickly rushed to the corner to see Leo, who was Ironman. He greeted Calypso with a heart-warming smile, and Calypso hugged him. Then he showed her the functions on the suit to turn on the buttons and stuff.

Ahhhhh… No wonder Leo requested for an extra suit.

Jason walked slowly over to me and said with a smirk, "I ship them."

Then, Piper came running towards him and gave him a hug.

"Hey, Cap!" She said. Even her words made my heart melt.

Wonder what an impact it came to Jason. His cheeks immediately reddened, and his smile stretched from ear to ear.

Someone find a cure for him.

Then Harley Quinn came through the door.

Wait, that's Annabeth.

That's Annabeth!?

Her cheeks were dyed white with some kind of face paint, on the side of her jaw "ROTTEN" was written on there in really good handwriting. A heart was drawn on the right side of the corner of her eye, and there was blue eye shadow smeared down in a streak on her left eye. Annabeth also managed to dye the ends of her hair one pink and one blue, she was wearing the traditional, "Daddy's Lil' Monster" T-shirt, and the bat that came with it was enough to make this dance go to Comic Con.

At that moment, I knew who would win the bachelor with no problem.

I knew who I should date and keep, I knew who I should choose.

Annabeth strolled over with as much willpower she could muster and uttered one word to me.

"Puddin'?"

. . .

. . .

. . .

I'm dead.
