Song of the Day; I can be your Hero ~ Enrique Iglesias

Drake POV

Chapter 25: A visit to the Heroes.

I woke up on my bed and yawned. I looked over at the clock and found it was 9:30 am. I groaned and got out of bed. I didn't bother to take a shower as I slid on last night pair of sweat pants and my camp shirt. I walked into the living area to see Lizzie reading a book and Ajax sketching with the TV paused on a mid-cut scene with Kratos swinging at something. Ajax kept looking from the sketch pad to the TV screen. I yawned, stretched and opened the fridge. I took out the orange juice labeled 'Drake' and drank right from it. It was apple juice, my favorite kind. Hey, I like a carton of juice to myself sometimes. Don't worry, we had too.

"Morning, Drake." I herd Lizzie say, looking through the space, smiling at me. I chuckled.

"Morning, Liz." I said, planting a kiss on her forehead as Ajax ignored the moment.

"Morning, Drake, sleep well?" He asked, not looking at me.

"Why of course. And how about you?" I asked, chuckling. He nodded and smiled.

Lizzie was ready to go somewhere as Ajax looked like that as well. They we're both showered and cleaned up.

"You two going anywhere?" I asked. Lizzie nodded.

"We we're wandering if we could visit Percy and Annabeth. After all, they live about 10 blocks from us." Ajax answered. I looked thoughtful for a moment.

"I don't see the problem. I bet they'll be surprised." I chuckled.

"Fire escape or main entrance?" He asked. His Hermes genes kicking in.

"Main entrance, Ajax.. Percy's folks doesn't know us. They'll think we're burglars." I replied as Lizzie nodded. "So when are we leaving?" I looked at Lizzie this time

"As soon as you get cleaned up. Come on, Sapphire eyes, get moving." She said, shooing me to the bathroom.

"What ever you say, Ruby orbs." I replied and she blushed. I took a quick shower and got dressed in jeans and my camp shirt. Lizzie and Ajax just got done whatever they were doing and were waiting by the door. We went out and started walking towards Percy's place. Lizzie said Annabeth was living with him as it made it easier to track her. We kept walking as it was actually quite warm for April. We soon entered the apartment building and went up to the doorman.

"Jackson residence?" I asked as he flipped through a binder.

"Room 316, third floor." He replied. He smiled at us as we said our thanks and went to the elevator. We rode it to the third floor and we looked along the hallway for 316. When we got there, Ajax knocked on the door as we herd chatter. Then the door opened to reveal none other then Percy.

"Drake! Lizzie! Ajax!" He exclaimed, I herd a small choking sound as I herd a gasp. We all smiled. "Come on in! We were just gonna sit down and watch some TV." Percy exclaimed. We all walked in, we were greeted by a women who seemed middle age, but I noticed a few grey hairs but didn't say anything. She had chocolate brown hair and brown eyes, which looked extremely good with her happy expression. There was a black haired man, but it reminded me of salt and pepper for some reason, but his eyes were blue. (A/N; Paul does not have any certain eye color, but I choice blue because I thought it'd fit with his hair.)

"Oh, are these your friends who looks like a family?" The women asked as we all chuckled a bit. Percy nodded.

"Yup. They do look like a family, don't they, Paul?" Percy asked, looking at the man reading a paper.

"Sure do, Perce. Say, why don't get Annabeth, I'm sure she'll love to see them." Paul said as he nodded. Percy ran into the hallway and up the stairs.

"I'm Sally Blofis, but please, call me Sally." the lady said as Lizzie and I shook her hand.

"Is Percy your son? Then how come he didn't change his name to Blofis?" Ajax asked her. She laughed.

"You see, Percy likes the name Jackson, and we did give him a choice. And he chose Jackson." Sally answered as Ajax nodded.

"Must be frustrating, to know your son is a demigod, and a very powerful one." Lizzie said as Sally laughed

"You have no idea." Sally replied. Just then Percy and Annabeth jumped into the room

"I win this time, Seaweed Brain!" She laughed as Percy puffed out a cheek.

"No fair, you had a head start!" He complained as Sally smiled at them as Ajax snickered.

"Who knew the heroes of Olympus could so childish." I commented. The two looked at us, then back at each other, and laughed. I smiled as Lizzie giggled, holding my hand

"It's about time, messenger boy, I was beginning to think you two are just gonna stay friends!" Percy stated and patted my right shoulder.

"…You two almost killed the camp, with both of your bluntness on not liking each other, so hush up." Ajax smirked as Lizzie laughed and nodded. "Five years man.. Five years before you admitted it!"

Percy mouth gaped open as Annabeth laughed.

"Well, he has a point." Lizzie said as Annabeth laughed harder. We all went to the living room, catching up. We were talking about our school as Ajax talked about his school. The two nodded and smiling.

"So how's your year going along?" I asked.

"Classes, fine. Out of class…. Noooooot so much." Percy said. As Annabeth huffed.

"Let me guess… boys trying to flirt with Annabeth and girls trying to flirt with Percy?" Lizzie asked as they nodded.

"Liz is the same way, but she brushes them off easily." I said as she blushed.

"Drake here just brushes off girls, except Lana, our friend." Lizzie said as it was my turn to blush. Annabeth and Percy laughed. We were all in his room, Sally came in with a tray with a plate of cookies, and 5 glasses of milk.

"Hey thanks mom!" Percy said as she smiled. The cookies were blue as Percy face brighten.

"Erm.. I know you probably get this a lot but.. What's with the blue food?" I asked as Lizzie nodded.

"Long story short. Mom had an argument with my first step-dad, different story, said food can't be blue, mom proved him wrong, now blue food are for occasions." Percy said simply. I nodded as Ajax laugh, taking a cookie and eating it.

"Man, these are good. Cooled down, but fresh from the oven no doubt!" He explained. I looked at him and at the cookies. I took one and took a bit. It was soft, and the chocolate chip melted. It was heaven.

"Man these ARE good." Lizzie said, speaking my mind. I finished my cookie rather hurriedly, agreeing. Annabeth and Percy laughed at us and nibbled theirs.

"So Annabeth, how's Olympus looking?" I asked. I herd about her job at Olympus. Her face brighten as Percy grinned.

"It's coming out better than I imagined! Everything is going back to the original shape, but with a more modern-ish feel to it! Everything is coming along smoothly thanks to Percy's half-brothers, the Cyclopes. As they are great on following orders!" She kept rambling, but Ajax face blinked.

"Cyclopes? Oh! That reminds me! I saw Tyson the other day." Ajax said, Annabeth stopped when she was talking about the Ares temple, as Percy looked at him

"Tyson? Here?" He asked, getting excited.

"He said he was looking for a 'talking fish that can breathe air'." Ajax said. Percy sighed and smiled.

"Ah he IM me about that. We found it on Friday afternoon." He explained as Ajax 'ah'ed and we resumed talking. We laughed at each others story, especially the Georgy story. Annabeth and Percy had a hoot with that. Yes, we will NEVER let that go. We got up and went to the living room, laughing about Percy and Annabeth pool incident a few days back, they blushed and smiled sheepishly. Annabeth laptop beeped from her room.

"You have a laptop?" I asked, surprised. Annabeth nodded.

"It's actually Daedalus laptop." She replied. I blinked. "Yes, the same Daedalus that made the Labyrinth. He gave me his laptop before… He passed on, now building in the Underworld." I nodded. He seemed happy and I was glad it wasn't me who killed him. We went up and checked the laptop, Annabeth opened it. She nodded, reading a message.

"My mother wants me back on Olympus, she said something is going on and I'm the only who can un-do it. It must be part of my plans." She explained. Percy's expression fell. "I'll be back before dinner, don't worry, Seaweed brain." She said, smiling. Percy gave her a smile and they hugged.

"Yeah, we'll walk you there Annabeth, we should start heading out as well." We said our goodbyes to the Jacksons and made out way home, Annabeth tagged along. We were half way there and she had to turn. We said our goodbyes to her as we reached our room. Ajax yawned. I looked at the clock as it was almost 6:30. I smiled and made dinner.

After a good dinner, a few spares matches with Ajax and Lizzie in the training room, we hit the hay. But something surprised me. I entered my room, seeing Lizzie in her night gown, smiling at me. She was in my bed. I got the hint. She didn't want to sleep alone. I chuckled, slid in next to her, held her around the waist, and kissed her lips softly.

"Night, ruby eyes." I whispered to her as she blushed, she cuddled closer to me.

"Good night, my sapphire eyes." She whispered back as we both fell into a peaceful sleep.
