I own nothing.
sorry for doing another DC series, i recently lost alot of inspiration for my writing, and this was suggested to me. you all keep giving me suggestions, but it is hard without a premise. i am more than willing to write them but simply saying like Ben 10 and Percy Jackson leaves too much for interpretation. i was suggested Ben 10 where he gets with Gwen but has the omnitrix. my mind begins to question how ben would loose the watch. and if i introduce Percy into the originals than she is 10 years old. sorry about the mini AN, but i feel bad for ignoring you guys. i have multiple in the works, however i keep getting writers block.
Start here to ignore the AN
I was relaxing in my cell like I had been for the last, however long I had been here. I know I had been given over a hundred meals if my tally marks are anything to go by on the wall. The black leader of this place though refused to accept my answer of not knowing how or where I was. All I knew was I was tired of trying to escape. The walls of my cell were foam to avoid my earth shaker powers, escape number one. The only liquid they were giving me was moist food, escape number two. Finally there was a dehumidifier constantly dragging all water out of the air, escape number three. I looked out the door as the leader of the science division came over.
"Percy, you ready for breakfast?" I rolled my eyes.
"Can't you just let me starve? I hate being in here." She sighed and hit a button on the door activating the magnets on my cuffs, pinning me to the wall, escape number 8. I chuckled darkly.
"Have I ever tried to escape when you brought in the food?" She rolled her eyes.
"No, but everyone before me you have." She put the food on the bench and went outside the door before resealing it. I shook my head.
"Still wont give me any silverware?" She shook her head with a sad look.
"Your suicidal." I sighed and sat on the ground and began to eat the food.
"The only trouble I ever give you guys is trying to escape. I never even injure anyone when I do, otherwise I would have escaped already." She pulled up a seat.
"Your not usually this talkative." Now I rolled my eyes.
"I am bored, and if I am being honest, I have no ideas left for a possible escape. Plotting is pointless. I don't have enough blood to pump and use to escape, and like I said, I don't want to hurt you guys for doing your jobs. Although your boss I might be willing too." She paled.
"You could control our blood?" I nodded.
"You would be in immense pain, but yes." I picked up the paper plate and gave myself a paper cut on my arm before taking control of the blood and spinning the small amount around me as she seemed to panic. Finally I stopped and spit onto the cut to heal it before eating some more. She frowned.
"Percy, how did you appear a mile in the air from nothing? What species are you?" I laughed.
"Your boss doesn't believe me, why would you?" She frowned.
"He said you were talking about impossibilities." I shook my head.
"No, I said I was from a different dimension. I am a demigod." She sighed.
"Percy, that is impossible." I jumped up and punched the glass door putting a crack into it and causing her to fall over.
"MY NEIGHBOR IS A FUCKING ALIEN, HOW AM I IMPOSSIBLE!" She hesitantly stood back up and sighed.
"Percy, they can point me to the star system they come from. We have no proof you are a demigod, never mind from a different dimension." I dropped to my knees as she went to leave.
"Please, I am going crazy in here. Please let me help prove me right, or at least not a danger. Please." She turned and sighed.
"Percy, you might already be crazy." I felt the tears falling.
"Please, I promise I wont try to escape again if you answer one question for me." She narrowed her eyes at me.
"What is that?" I looked to her as my tears formed a ball around my hand.
"Nobody in this place has told me their name. Please, what is yours?" She sighed and shook her head.
"You wont escape, and you will do what I say?" I blinked.
"Whatever you say, yes, please." She sighed and took her seat again.
"My name is Alex Danvers." I smiled.
"Thank you Alex." She nodded as the tear ball fell to the ground.
"Tell me your whole story." I blinked.
"Your not going to leave?" She shook her head.
"You gonna go back on your word?" I shook my head.
"No, um, do you want from when I was little, or from when I found out I was a demigod?" She smiled.
"From when you were little. I will hold all questions for the end." I nodded with a smile.
"Can you smile as I tell you? I don't think I have seen anything, but frowns and anger since I woke up here." She gave me a soft smile and I broke into a wide smirk and began my tale.
I finished and she had a sad expression on her face.
"Percy, you realize how that sounds right? Gods being real, some place called New York City. The inbreeding from those myths are insane, the DNA would be so..." I cut her off with a laugh.
"Gods don't have DNA. Annabeth used to talk about the Genetics not effecting anything because of it. Than with how young Demigods die it would be hard to see if our children would maintain… why are you staring at me?" She narrowed her eyes.
"If they don't have DNA, than what does yours look like?" I shrugged.
"Annabeth said we only have half, so relationships between the cabins were fine even though siblings were frowned about." She took a deep breath.
"Percy, I need a bit of your hair." I blinked.
"Ok, what do you want me to do? Go to the wall or?" She took a deep breath and pulled out her gun.
"I will trust you, this time. Don't move or I shoot." I nodded and sat on my hands as the door went up and she entered, gun trained on me the entire time. She plucked my hair for a few strands, but thankfully didn't mind the flinching. When she went back to the door and it went down I instantly itched where she pulled the hair from as she chuckled. I smiled at the noise I hadn't heard in a long time.
"If this shows you only have half DNA, then I will let you follow me around, with precautions in place." I nodded.
"Thank you Alex." She nodded with a sad smile.
"Don't thank me yet. We don't know how this test is going to go. The identifier might read you as a corrupt sample. I am going to have to do this by hand." I nodded.
"Thank you for listening." She nodded and turned before leaving the area. I took a breath and went back to my food.
Time Skip
The next day I heard Alex coming back to give me my breakfast and stopped my work out, not that I had anything else to do in this cell. I smiled widely when there was a bottle of water on the tray. She narrowed her eyes.
"The wall Percy. I am in a lot of trouble if you try to escape." I nodded and walked over putting my hands against it as she kicked the button and I was pinned. She walked in calmly and placed it on the bench before leaving and hitting the button and sitting down as I walked over. Using my powers I took half the water out and slurped it from the air in relief.
"Finally, actual water." I said before I began to eat the food as she rolled her eyes.
"It was your fault we took it away you know." I rolled my eyes.
"Any news on my hair?" She shook her head.
"I have to do it on my own with a microscope. Boss thinks it isn't real enough to justify the electron microscope." I frowned.
"I don't like him." She chuckled.
"Your not going to attack him, when I let you out, if the hair is like you said. It will land you right back here with no means of escape." I sighed.
"I just want out of here." She nodded with a sigh.
"We shall see. I need to take a plane ride next week, so depending on how long it takes to get your DNA figured out I might need to wait a bit longer." I smiled.
"So your saying that the one I promised to behave for is going to be gone soon." She narrowed her eyes.
"Behave and DNA or not I will get you out of the cell for a bit." I frowned.
"But your boss..." I sighed at her look.
"I will behave, but I want something else." She raised an eyebrow.
"What now?" I smiled.
"I just want something to occupy my time. I can only work out so much, especially with how much water I am limited to." She took a deep breath.
"I will figure something out, but I wont be able to leave you with water while I am gone." I nodded.
"I understand." She nodded with a smile.
"So, do you have any idea how you seemed to age a decade between us finding you and your story ending?" I blinked.
"What are you talking about?" She sighed and took a picture with her phone before showing it to me. I blinked, unable to comprehend it.
"I have no idea, I guess the portal was weird." She nodded with a sigh.
"Ok, how about how we had trouble sticking you with a needle when you got here, but yesterday I watched you give yourself a paper cut?" I chuckled.
"That one I actually think I know." I replied before taking the plate and failing to give myself another one.
"You kept me from true water for too long." I replied still sliding the paper against my skin before wincing as it cut me again. I shook my head and willed some water from the bottle to heal it. She nodded.
"I can understand that if your story is true. I will see you tomorrow Percy, have a nice day."
"Alex, wait." She turned to me.
"Why do I only get breakfast, never lunch or dinner?" She smiled.
"We give you all the calories you need for the day in one meal and stagger it. Your count is not even close to accurate." She said with a chuckle pointing at my wall as I shook my head.
"That's messed up." I said getting a giggle as she left.
Time Skip
Alex and I kept up our friendly chats for the two weeks before I was brought breakfast by a random soldier. He walked to the door and I saw I was back to juicy foods instead of water.
"Wall!" he barked as I nodded and stood up before he hit the button making me face plant into the wall before he laughed and through my food onto my bed as it all tumbled over and messed everything up. He left and I rubbed my nose before going to my bed for the food.
"What would make a god want to bed your mother?" I narrowed my eyes at the black man and growled before remembering my promise to Alex. Instead I took a deep breath and fixed my tray before facing the wall and ignoring the man at the door.
"You will talk or I will stop Alex from bringing your food." I took a breath.
"She told him no. It reminded him of the determination of the waves." He chuckled.
"So you really do like her bringing you your food. Have you ever heard of Stockholm syndrome?" I took a bite.
"No." He chuckled again and I wanted to punch him in the face.
"You have been in this cell for over a year. One month ago I sent in the nicest person we employ and suddenly you spill your guts. When she gets back if you control her blood like you claimed you could I will let you leave the building." He than left the hall as I sat there thinking about the trust I have for Alex. Was it because I just wanted someone to be nice to me. Ignoring my bed I laid on my side. I kicked my food to the wall. I do not like being manipulated.
Time Skip
The next day I was surprised to hear Alex at the door. She was supposed to be gone. I still had not moved from my spot laying on the floor, food splattered on the wall. I heard the door open and her place the food on the bench. Suddenly she touched my shoulder. This was the first contact I had since I got here.
"Percy, what is going on, why is your food splattered on the wall." I blinked away tears.
"No more acting. Leave me alone." She walked to my front.
"Percy, what happened?" I met her sad and confused eyes. I felt the tears form in mine.
"Leave now. I want to be alone." She blinked.
"Percy, what are you..." I cut her off by exploding the water bottle she brought and having it grab her around the waist and drag her out of the door. It then released her and hit the door drop button before the door fell and I lost control of the water outside of it. Turning back to the wall I cried, but I couldn't let them control me.
Time Skip
The next 6 meals I still hadn't moved from my spot on the floor. After the second day Alex had taken to dumping a five gallon bucket on me, leaving food and walking away. The next meal I stopped the water from touching me with my powers and sighed.
"Your making it hard to starve myself." I heard a deep sigh.
"Percy, I want you to explain that acting comment. They deleted the video from the day I was gone." I shook my head.
"It was explained to me that your being nice so I do what you want." I met her eyes with tears in mine as I let the water drop.
"How I have been here over a year so he sent in a nice person so that I get..." She cut me off with wide eyes.
"Stockholm Syndrome." I blinked tears away.
"Then told me that if I control your blood he would let me go." I stood up and walked towards her as she stepped back with panic. I held up my hand.
"It wouldn't even take much. I can sense all the liquid in your body, it's calling to me, asking to be used. Promising freedom." She tripped and I could see light coming from my eyes that must be glowing somehow. I dropped to my knees and started to sob.
"Well whatever it was worked." I sobbed.
"The thought of hurting you, even of simply making you mad at me, it's painful." I turned back to the wall and curled into my ball.
"Stop the water and food. I want to die." I felt her touch my shoulder and wanted the touch so bad it wasn't even funny.
"Please, leave me alone." I said through a sob. Finally she sighed and left the room.
Time Skip
The following meal the door went up without a word being said before clothes landed on my head.
"Get dressed, I am bringing you to a dinner for lunch." I turned to a stern faced Alex. I blinked.
"What part of I want to die do you not understand?" She shook her head.
"I finally finished the work up of your hair. Your DNA only contains half the strands. I also might have had it out with my boss. Even if he didn't tell me the plan, it was really messed up." I blinked and sighed before nodding and starting to change. Having your toilet in your bedroom with a glass door for over a year messes with your sense of privacy. She seemed to blush and look away before shaking her head.
"So that you know, the cuffs are magnetized with the pants. Try to run and you become a statue." I shrugged.
"I don't have any ID for this dimension anyway." She nodded with a sigh.
"We might be able to help with that if you prove you won't act like your father in the myths. Right now your a possible enemy." I chuckled.
"If you say so." She smiled and met my eyes.
"I don't think your an enemy, like you said, you could have killed us to escape." I sighed with a deep nod as she led me out the door and past glaring soldiers.
When I left the building I dropped to my knees with a headache. I saw a cave with a lanky man behind a computer, and a man in green with a bow. I shook my head and stood up as Alex looked to me carefully.
"Are you ok?" I nodded.
"I think I might be close to another version of me. I think I saw through his eyes for a second. She nodded while looking worried.
"Close as in on earth or in the multiverse?" I shrugged.
"I wanna say multiverse." She nodded as she released a breath and started to walk again.
"The dinner is just on the next block." I nodded and followed her, enjoying the fresh air for the first time, in a long time.
Line Break
As we were midway through the meal the TV in the corner began to announce someone named Supergirl arriving at a dock fire by the ocean. I sighed.
"Is she a powered human, or an alien you don't keep in a cell?" She chuckled.
"That is actually my adopted sister. Yes, an alien though." I smiled.
"So that is why you didn't hate me for being alive?" She nodded and looked around making sure nobody was listening.
"Yes, however she just started saving people not long ago. In fact she started because the plane I was on malfunctioned and I would have died." I chuckled.
"I thought you came back to quick. So am I always going to be locked up?" I asked upset. She went to answer before a loud creak sounded and we both looked to the TV. The ship slip in half as oil leaked out into the harbor. I panicked.
"Please, let me save the fish? I can get the oil out." She narrowed her eyes before sighing and taking out her phone.
"I am bringing him to the harbor for the oil spill. No, I am sure he will behave, yes I will take responsibility if he doesn't. Yes I know it will be my job, yes, yes, I said yes I am sure." She hung up and shook her head. Putting down some money she lead the way outside. She looked around before drawing a knife and cutting the bottom of my shirt and giving it two slices.
"Come on." She said before getting on a motorcycle and starting it while putting on her helmet.
"Tie it around your face like a mask." I nodded and did so before getting on the bike and holding onto her as she took off down the road.
Arriving at the harbor I smiled as I breathed in the salt water. Super girl was still trying to repair the boat to stop any more as I got off the bike and walked to the edge as police came to try to stop me. I ignored them and jumped into the water, through the oil as I heard screaming. Taking in the water I smiled and began to will the water to guide the oil up to the top and into one area. When my head broke the surface I raised myself and the bowl of oil to the docks. Once the oil ball was over the dock I took a deep breath and froze the water so that I had a giant bowl holding thousands of gallons of oil on the dock. Supergirl landed next to me with wide eyes.
"Who are you?" I smiled at her.
"I am a concerned citizen. I saw you try to blow out the fire on the TV, could you keep the ice from melting?" She hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Yes I could do that." I nodded.
"Good, cause I haven't had this much exercise in a while and need a nap." I released my control and began to walk away as she blew at the ice and you could see it solidify. I jumped into the water again and swam a hundred yards down the dock before sneaking out and removing my mask.
When I got back to the motorcycle Alex was smiling at me.
"You had me worried for a second when you jumped back in." I frowned.
"I thought about it, but then realized how much trouble you would be in. Your boss is a dick, but seams to know what he was doing. It pisses me off even more because I know what it is and can't stop the feeling." She sighed and took my hand.
"Don't worry Percy, I am going to make sure your life gets better. Sorry for the part I played in it." I shook my head.
"Please, don't blame yourself, I don't want you upset." I said, even thought I knew I should not be this attached to her. She nodded.
"Lets head back, on the way I will buy you something for your cell to make it better." I smiled at her.
"Thank you." I replied as I held onto her and she began the drive away.
Time Skip
It had been two days and although we had not had lunch outside the building again, Alex was eating with me inside my cell as we had conversations. Today however I heard female voices as I was doing my workout. I stopped and looked to the door as Supergirl and Alex appeared to be in the middle of an argument. Finally they stopped and Alex walked over before opening the door.
"Percy, how durable is your skin?" I frowned before putting on my shirt as Supergirl Blushed.
"Durable enough, why do you ask?" Supergirl quickly appeared in front of me.
"I want to spar someone, but I don't want to use the Kryptonite room they have." I blinked several times before looking to Alex.
"Didn't you say she could bend pipe with her bare hands?" She nodded with a sigh. I took a breath.
"I don't know if I am that durable." Supergirl frowned.
"Tell you what, hit me with all you got, and I will decide if you are a good sparing partner." I looked to Alex who nodded.
"Go for it Percy, I wont get mad or upset." I sighed and shook my head before looking at the petite blond.
"You ready?" She nodded with a smile and braced herself so her shoulder was towards me. I wound up and took a deep breath before sending a punch as hard as I could. With a loud crack I held my hand in pain as I jumped up and down trying to shake it out.
"Damn it, I though maybe with me working out so much this past year I wouldn't hurt myself. Sorry Supergirl I guess..." I froze as I looked back to see her not where she was, but in the wall across the hall holding her shoulder with a wide smile on her face.
"Your durable enough, we need to spar." I reached to the side and summoned the water from the bucket that was now left in my room to heal my hand.
"Are you sure?" She nodded with a wide smile.
"Yes I am, this is going to be fun." I shrugged and followed Alex out of the cell.
Reaching the main area Boss Man decided to cut us off.
"Alex, what are you doing, he isn't wearing the obedience clothing?" I growled at him as Alex gave me a look, making me stop.
"He isn't going to try anything. Besides Supergirl wants to spar with him." He narrowed his eyes before looking to Supergirl.
"Are you sure you want to fight a criminal?" I went to respond as Alex cut me off.
"Hank, you know his only crime is trying to escape his cell." He took a deep breath.
"I don't trust him." I glared at the man as Alex grabbed my elbow.
"Hank, you put me in charge of him remember. Let me be in control of him." He nodded.
"Be careful." She nodded before pulling me down the hall. Supergirl looked to Alex.
"Alex, I am confused, what happened?" She shook her head.
"I will explain everything later. I don't want to upset Percy." I chuckled.
"I hate that guy." Alex rubbed her head.
"Come on Percy, you need to fight my sister." I rolled my eyes before looking to the smirking blond.
"Please, no hits to the family jewels." She nodded with a chuckle.
"No grappling and I agree, deal?" I shook her hand as we entered a large room with concrete walls. I took a deep breath.
"Ok, I am ready when you are." I said before she blurred and threw a punch. I was suddenly really glad for the humidity as I used it to tell me what was happening. I spun around grabbing her wrist over my shoulder and flipping her into the ground as I landed on her stomach before jumping up and looking at the heavily breathing blond. I took a deep breath and rubbed the back of my head.
"You, um, need to work on your footwork?" Alex burst into laughter from the corner as Supergirl groaned out a chuckle and rolled back to her knees and stood up.
"I guess so. How did you react so fast?" I shrugged.
"There is a lot of humidity in the air, and I can control and sense water." She smiled at me.
"Good to know."
Line break
It had been several hours and I was currently on the floor holding my crotch.
"You promised." I sobbed out as Supergirl took deep breaths.
"And you said you wouldn't grapple." I shook my head.
"I didn't mean to, I was trying to flip you backwards but you escaped, I swear I didn't mean to touch you like that." I said finishing with a few sobs. Supergirl looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"That's a fighting move? I though that was only on TV." I shook my head as a giggling Alex came over and dumped a small bucket of water on my crotch.
"Sorry sis, but he is right. The move is very effective if executed right, as it can snap your opponents neck. With you, your head would have just gone into the floor. Good escape though." I sighed as my groin finally stopped being painful.
"I think I am done sparing for the day. Sorry Supergirl." She blushed.
"It's ok, sorry I overreacted." I nodded. Alex snorted in laughter.
"Ok Percy, lets get you to your cell." She helped me up as I began to limp out.
"Why is he in a cell in the first place?" Alex sighed.
"I will tell you later." I chuckled.
"Fear of the unknown is the simple answer." She gave me a look as Alex brought me back to my cell. When I arrived I smiled at her.
"Your sister hits hard, hopefully water can heal me from that, how am I still sore?" She chuckled.
"Next time don't grope her." I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever you say." I laid down on my bed and went to sleep holding my crotch.
Time Skip
I was so thankful for the bucket of water they left me since I woke up still uncomfortable. Thankfully, although half the bucket was gone, I was healed. When I heard the giggling of women approaching I wanted to cry. The hyperactive blond smirked at me as I rolled my eyes.
"No." She frowned.
"But Percy, there is nobody else I don't have to worry about hurting while I train." I rolled my eyes.
"Well I spared with you yesterday and all I got was a hit to the nuts." She glared and crossed her arms.
"You got to feel something you shouldn't have too." I laughed.
"No I didn't, you slipped out of the hold and assumed I got a fistful. Look at the tapes beautiful, I was holding my other wrist to get a good grip." She raised an eyebrow before looking to Alex, who shrugged.
"That is how the move is supposed to be done." She then turned to the buttons and extended a computer I had no idea was there. I blinked rapidly.
"Sense when is a computer there?" She smirked.
"It's so that we can monitor your food intake if we forget to log it." She turned to the screen and pulled up the feed.
"You two were moving too fast for me to truly see what was happening so I will just slow it down." I rolled my eyes since I couldn't see the screen, but I watched their eyes as Supergirl went wide eyed. Alex started to giggle.
"Damn sis, I didn't realize you had enough there for them to move like that." I sighed and sat on my bed.
"Alex, the point was not to talk about Supergirl's boobs." They both looked at me before the blond shook her head.
"I don't know how I should feel about you saying my name and boobs in the same sentence." I laughed.
"Please, I have been in this cell for so long I have analyzed the stature of everyone I have had more than a glance of." Alex narrowed her eyes.
"Everyone?" I nodded.
"I told you I was bored in here before, yes everyone." She smirked.
"So you have thoughts about me as well as my sister, and my boss?" I felt a shiver go down my spine.
"Unfortunately, yes." They both started to laugh as I rolled my eyes.
"Laugh it up girls, although I can only imagine if you two were in a cell for as long as I have been." They stopped laughing quickly, but still smirked. Supergirl stepped up.
"What do you want for sparing with me?" I chuckled.
"Freedom if you can manage it." She frowned and looked to an equally sad Alex.
"Percy you know we can't manage that. The government is too worried about you. Plus just because I believe your story now doesn't mean that they do." I sighed.
"Fair enough, how about a kiss?" They both went wide eyed as I chuckled.
"After the spar, Supergirl kisses my cheek before I go back into my cell." They looked to each other before Alex narrowed her eyes on me.
"You want my sister to kiss you?" I shrugged.
"Why not, I am sure that there are not too many people who can claim that. It will give me something that free people don't have." Alex stared at me before Supergirl shocked her.
"Before the spar. After you will be all sweaty." I smirked at the blond and laughed before standing up.
"Deal." She rolled her eyes as Alex narrowed hers.
"Before I open the door go to the wall." I laughed and nodded as I went.
"Why do you want him at the wall?"
"Cause your my sister." She pressed the button and I was pinned to the wall unable to move as Supergirl went wide eyed and looked to Alex.
"Alex, let him go, he isn't going to try anything. Beside we are about to spar, that would be when he would try it." I laughed.
"Yeah right, my crotch can't take another hit like yesterday." Alex sighed, but nodded and let me go. Supergirl came over with a smile and kissed my cheek quickly.
"Ready to go?" I smiled.
"Just a second." I willed half a gallon out of the bucket and drank it quickly.
"There, hopefully I don't get dehydrated this time."
Line break
She tried to fly through my legs as I pulled them to my chest before kicking down and sending her into the concrete, chipping it a bit. She groaned and rolled over.
"I can move ten times faster than you how do you keep winning?" I chuckled and helped her up.
"Three reasons, the first is that you have no form so if there is a close playing field you will loose. The second is your relying to much on your powers, you should use them to enhance your skills, not have them be your skills." She nodded.
"And the last one?" I chuckled.
"Your brain. Moving fast does nothing if your brain is unable to process it fast enough." She looked to Alex who had a thinking face on.
"Sorry Supergirl, he has a point." She sighed and looked to me.
"Does that mean your not using your powers against me?" I shook my head.
"Hell no. the only reason I can keep up is using the humidity. That being said though, I had to fight multiple opponents at a time, a lot. My brain is used to interpreting the humidity." She sighed.
"Thank you Percy, I guess I know what to work on." I nodded.
"Glad I could help a goddess." She raised an eyebrow?
"Goddess?" I laughed.
"Pretty much. You make me think of a cross between Artemis, and Athena." She smiled.
"Were they Pretty? Aphrodite was the goddess of beauty right?" I chuckled.
"Aphrodite worries to much about how she looks. She has the best features of everyone, then proceeds to always touch up her make up. Artemis usually appears as the average age of her hunters, so about 12. She wasn't ugly, but that is as far as I can think of someone who looks like that. Athena though." I started to think about her and was unable to do anything, but compare her to Annabeth.
"Athena, was only slightly different from her daughter that I had a crush on. Take that as you will." She hovered the foot or so till she was eye to eye with me.
"So I look like a past crush you had?" She asked with a giggle as Alex giggled as well. I rolled my eyes.
"Hey, your the perfect height for me to kiss you now." I said causing her to blush and panic for a second, which I took the opportunity to peck her lips before jumping back and laughing. She dropped with a thud and looked to a jaw-dropped Alex.
"He kissed me." Alex nodded dumbly. She then turned to me and narrowed her eyes.
"You kissed me." I panicked and dropped to a ball, protecting my crotch.
"Not the nuts again, please anywhere, but the nuts." She broke into a giggle, which slowly became all out laughter. Finally she smirked at me, then Alex.
"Mom is coming for thanksgiving in a few weeks and has already asked me about any men in my life. What are the chances you can have him tame enough for that?" I frowned.
"I just snuck a kiss, I wasn't planning on meeting your mother." She turned to me.
"Percy, you have two options, either a; you meet my mother so I can get away without being bothered about my personal life. Or b; I go for your crotch right now and break everything in my way." I protected myself tighter with a gulp.
"Ok, yes ma'am whatever you say." She smirked.
"Good." She turned and walked to Alex.
"Not a terrible kisser. Might just use him to keep mom and my boss at bay, and the best part is, if he is annoying me, I leave him in his cell." She said as they left the room. I blinked before Alex poked her head back in.
"Let's go Percy, Spar is over." I sighed as I stood up and followed the two women who kept deciding my future without me.
Time Skip
I was sparing with Supergirl again in the training room along with trying to teach her martial arts, or at least the Mythological Greek version of it. I waved my hand making an ice version of me for her to use as a dummy with the move as she grabbed it's head and added a short flight as she pulled it's head into her knee hard enough to shatter the entire figure. I smiled.
"See what I meant before. It is a good move, but you added your flight and enhanced it." She smiled at me before looking to a smiling Alex. She smirked at me.
"I think I am ready for a live target." I paled.
"You want to break my jaw?" Alex chuckled.
"Isn't that usually the price for an unwanted kiss?" I sighed.
"Come on I have trained her for weeks after that and not once even tried for another. I think I earned a reprieve." She rolled her eyes as Supergirl snorted in laughter.
"Honestly Percy, I am over it. I appreciate the training." I nodded to her.
"No problem Supergirl. Any chance I could get your real name?" She smirked.
"Not yet." I shrugged.
"Fair enough, if your over it does that mean I don't have to go to thanksgiving? I mean come on you both are beautiful, surely you could both just find a guy to go with without trouble." Supergirl frowned and looked to the ground before looking up at Alex who frowned.
"Percy, my alter ego. It isn't very attractive." I rolled my eyes.
"Bull shit, there is no way anyone would be embarrassed to go out with you." Alex chuckled.
"She is beyond shy actually. The cape lets her not care about people anymore." I shrugged.
"If you say so." Supergirl looked to Alex.
"Can you get him out of the building tomorrow?" She nodded.
"Yeah, Hank and I have an understanding about him once I proved he wasn't lying about how he showed up. Why?" She sighed.
"Bring him to the bar I like tomorrow night. I want to see if he thinks I am attractive, or even recognizes me, in my usual outfit." She sighed.
"You sure?" Supergirl nodded.
"He has spent a lot of time around me, and you see him flirt with me. I need this. James keeps talking about Lucy, then about Supergirl. I need to know." Alex sighed but nodded and went to embrace her sister.
"I understand. Guys don't really like me either." I chuckled.
"I have seen you in normal clothes. You give off a danger vibe. Plus you remind me a lot of my friend Thalia. The Aphrodite campers used to tell me she was gay. Have you ever thought about dating a girl?" She glared at me before I held my hands up.
"Never mind, I am sorry. Not judging, but lets be honest, girls make no sense to guys, and I assume it's the other way around as well. At least you would understand each other." Alex blinked a few times before sighing.
"Percy, go to your cell please, I need to talk with my sister." I chuckled.
"Can I leave my door open?" She shrugged.
"Sure, although I am not sure why it would matter if your not going to leave it anyway." I sighed as I walked out.
"The dehumidifier is still hooked up." I called as I left the room.
I smiled as I walked back into my cell. There had been at least a few dozen guns drawn on me for walking around alone as I walked back. Laying down in my bed I smiled as I drank some water. Maybe Alex isn't so bad if she trusted… No I need to remember it is all in my head. She is not a goddess, no matter how much I think about her like one.
Time Skip
I was at a bar for the first time in my life and loving it. Alex had an id for me so I was drinking beer with a smile. I leaned into her as she laughed.
"I never had Alcohol before. I can see the appeal." She laughed harder and covered her mouth as she sipped hers.
"Well you did say when you went through the portal you were 16. Now you appear about 26 or so." I shrugged with a grin and finished my 7th. No 8th. My beer. I held it up until the waitress smiled and nodded to me. I smiled to Alex.
"How do you know I wont run away? If I wanted to disappear I could without a problem. I could live at the bottom of the ocean easily." She sighed.
"Percy, I am quickly coming up on the point where I want you too. You are a good guy, your not a danger no matter what we don't know about you. The only reason you are even in the cell anymore is that the government wants you there. If I could..." I held up a hand to stop her.
"She really does look a lot different. Her head is down, it is like her entire attitude has changed. She doesn't seem sure of herself at all. However every guys head turned to look at her when she walked in." Alex turned and nodded.
"Your not wrong. Now that I look around. How did you know it was her though?" I chuckled.
"Her body density has the water in her blood rushing faster and harder to absorb." She rolled her eyes before downing her beer and calling for another.
"I should have known you would be attracted to the super sister instead of me." I rolled my eyes.
"Alex, you are beautiful and any guy would be lucky to have you. However if I flirted with you I would never be sure if it was me, or the condition I got." She sighed and nodded.
"Fair enough." The bar tender brought the beers and I smiled at her.
"The blond that just walked in, the one who looks like a librarian. Can you send her a Supergirl shot?" The woman chuckled.
"You got it. Want her to know it was from you?" I chuckled.
"No say it was from the docks." She gave me a look before shrugging.
"Ok, if you say so." She left as Alex burst into laughter. Looking over I saw the smirk on Supergirl's face.
"She heard me." Alex shrugged.
"She probably heard everything you said from the second she walked in." The blond nodded with a smirk as the shot was dropped off. Looking around she met my eyes before asking the Bartender something to which she chuckled and nodded. Downing the shot she thanked the bartender and came over.
"Percy, you cheated." I shrugged.
"Next time make the rules more specific. Now what do I call you out of the office?" I asked as I drank my beer. She took a deep breath.
"Kara Danvers." I nodded and leaned into her ear and whispered.
"Nice to meet the beautiful Kara Danvers, who looks like a sexy librarian." I said before pecking her cheek as she blushed and Alex laughed.
"So Kara what are you drinking?" She chuckled.
"Doesn't matter, with my powers I can't get drunk." I frowned.
"You gonna hit me if I touch your stomach?" She frowned.
"No, why?" I shrugged.
"I am going to mess with your blood flow to see if I can allow you to get drunk for a bit." I put my hand on her stomach and concentrated. It was harder than I hoped because of my drinking, but I managed to relax the cells in her stomach to better accept water and alcohol. I shook my head as I let go. I smiled at the bar tender who was delivering a drink behind me.
"Round of Tequila please." She nodded and dropped off the shot shortly as Alex and Kara looked between each other. Alex sighed after the shots appeared.
"Percy, I can't drink hard stuff with you. I am on duty." I shrugged.
"Then Kara gets two. She needs to catch up anyway." Kara rolled her eyes.
"Not going to effect me." I smirked.
"We shall see." She shrugged and downed both shots and met my eyes.
"I told you they wouldn't..." She stopped and blinked a few times before a wide smile took over her face.
"This feeling. Is this why people drink?" She asked Alex. Alex laughed with a wide smirk.
"Oh yeah. He is coming out drinking with us more. Lets see what drunk Kara has in store." We all laughed as Alex walked up to the bar tender with a smile. I looked to Kara.
"Should tell your sister weather or not you want to go home with anyone. There are guys all over the bar looking at you. If you've never been drunk than this could be dangerous." She blushed as Alex came back.
"Percy, can you use the bathroom so I can talk to her privately?" I chuckled.
"You got it Kara." I stood and went into the bathroom.
Line break
I woke up with a groan and a headache. I clearly drank too much before I stretched and frowned. I wasn't touching the wall, and my bed was extremely soft. Sitting up and looking around I went wide eyed as I realized I was on a pull out couch in an apartment. Walking into the kitchen I turned on the water and drank it before my hangover instantly left me. I took a breath before sending out my senses trying to find out where I was. I blinked when I sensed Supergirl in the next room with Alex. Knocking on the door I heard a groan before Alex in a t shirt and short shorts opened the door.
"Percy, is there a reason your knocking on the door at 6am?" I frowned.
"What happened?" She blinked before a different voice rang out behind Alex.
"That is a good question." Supergirl said from the bed as Alex rolled her eyes.
"Well, the two of you got wasted then you kissed him." Her eyes went wide as I looked down at the ground.
"When we got back here I put him on the couch bed and you in here before making sure I didn't get a show where 'I don't have to be careful with him' would be a theme." Kara blushed and shook her head while holding her temples.
"No, please, even if I did say that, why would you repeat it in front of him." She giggled a bit.
"Because now I can kick you out of here so that I can sleep without a stone next to me." She then jumped onto the bed as the shirt rode up a bit so I looked away.
"Know what, I am just going to relax and watch some TV, haven't done that in a long time." I walked back out, shut the door, fixed the couch and turned on the TV.
It was twenty minutes later when Kara came out in sweats and sat next to me. She curled into herself.
"I guess I embarrassed myself last night?" I shrugged and muted the TV.
"I don't remember much after I got you able to get drunk and came back from the bathroom to a table with over twenty shots on it." She giggled with a snort.
"I might have gone too far." I laughed.
"Nah, you had fun, that was the point of the whole thing, and you didn't sleep with anyone drunk so you did better than I heard most people do." She sighed.
"Did you sleep with someone your first time getting drunk?" I smirked.
"That was my first time getting drunk." She went wide eyed before smiling.
"Yeah we didn't do something stupid, high five." I laughed before giving her a loud high five. She smiled at me before tilting her head to the side.
"Percy, how did you end up in the cell? All Alex has told me is that you are not from this dimension so the government is scared of you." I sighed.
"I woke up in the cell. Apparently I fell from where I appeared and they locked me up before I woke up. Then they didn't believe my story so kept me there." She frowned before laying her head on my lap.
"I am not hungover, but I didn't sleep well. Tell me about your life in the other dimension while I relax." I chuckled and began my story. I also might have combed her hair with my fingers at some point.
When I finished the story she sighed deeply.
"I am sorry you had to deal with that. So why do you not escape now that they let you loose?" I sighed and shook my head.
"Alex. She was the first person who didn't hate me automatically, Hank played it well. Even though I know I have Stockholm Syndrome the thought of her getting in trouble from me doing something drives me insane." She frowned.
"He uses the threat of Alex to get you to behave? I didn't realize he was that manipulative." I shrugged.
"It isn't too bad now. I get food, I have two girls who are fun to talk to, and I have water in my room." She smiled.
"Thank you, but you really don't deserve it." I shook my head.
"Lets change the subject you can't mess with anyway. When is thanksgiving?" She chuckled.
"Three days." I groaned as she giggled.
"What do I need to know?" She smiled and sat up to meet my eyes with a wide smirk.
"That I am the center of your life and you have a government job." I blinked a few times as she batted her eyelashes.
"Your mom knows your Supergirl right?" She frowned, but nodded.
"Yeah, why?" I smiled.
"New story. I am the prince of Atlantis and we met when I took the oil out of the ocean. We talked and you found out we can train without you worrying about hurting me. From there we started talking and now are dating." She frowned and tilted her head at me.
"How did you come up with a believable lie so quickly?" I shook my head with a frown.
"I didn't. Poseidon is the king of the Ocean and stays in Atlantis in my dimension, therefore I am the prince." Her eyes went wide. "We did meet when I pulled the oil out, even if we didn't talk immediately. You found out I was durable and I started to train you." She was blinked rapidly as she realized everything.
"And the only lie is that we are dating. Well, kind of a lie, we have kissed after all." I chuckled at her with a wide smile.
"Exactly. Lying means you need to remember everything you say. Implying things based off of truth means it is easier and you have answers. For example, if your mom asks why Alex knows so much about me you would say?" I asked with a smirk as Kara smiled.
"You have unique DNA so she is using you as a test subject at work." I chuckled with a wide smile.
"Exactly. Not to mention there is no reason to feel bad about lying to your mom, cause your not." She giggled and nodded before laying back down on my lap.
"They really should not have you in that cell. You don't even want to lie." I chuckled.
"And you should be more confident in yourself. Your smart, funny, learn things quickly, compassionate, and even emppatht… that word were you can put yourself in the shoes of others?" She giggled.
"Empathetic, thank you Percy, I notice you didn't say anything about how I look?" I laughed.
"Kara, your sexy as hell. Something my mom always said though. When you compliment a woman, never go with looks. It makes you sound shallow." She giggled.
"Thank you Percy. And your mom was a smart woman. I know what they say about Supergirl online so I will apply that to my normal body as well." I nodded.
"Good, for the record though, the skin tight shirt and short skirt. Kind of draws the eyes more than your Kara outfit. Not that I would complain about how you look in either one." The door opened as Alex walked out and eyed Kara in my lap as said girl sat up with a blush.
"Percy, nice save about her looks. Lets head out so that I can give you the be nice to my sister speech." Kara shook her head.
"Alex don't do that. He is a nice guy." I stood and smiled to Kara.
"I will see you in a few days Kara, sorry, but if you want me to look nice you might need to buy me a suit." I dropped my head and walked past Alex sadly while I hummed the funeral march to the giggles of the two girls.
Line break
I sighed deeply as I was brought to my cell by Alex.
"Alex, When I started to spar with Supergirl and teach her to fight she mentioned a Kryptonite room. I assume it was you training her there. What made her decide to train with a random guy instead of her sister?" She took a deep breath.
"She almost died and needed her cousin to save her." I frowned.
"I didn't know she had a cousin, but they keep me in a cell while they leave her to almost die." Alex sighed, but nodded as well. I shook my head.
"Can I get a way to tell the date in my cell? Be nice to not be surprised in three days." She chuckled and nodded.
"I will figure it out. Thank you for helping her get over James by the way." I frowned.
"Someone didn't choose her? And they call me seaweed brain." She smiled.
"I will bring you breakfast in a few hours, see you soon." I nodded and laid down on my bed, noticing she didn't shut the door on her way out.
Time Skip
Alex woke me up before demanding I put on the suit she brought and bringing me out. Arriving at Kara's Apartment in the rain I chuckled at a grumbling Alex before drying her without a problem. She sighed.
"Thank you Percy, I didn't think about that." I nodded.
"So what has you so upset today?" She sighed before knocking on the door.
"Mom is… well Mom. She blames me for things Kara does." I nodded.
"I see, well I will try to..." The door shot open before Kara embraced me in a tight hug that was on the verge of breaking my back.
"Percy, it is so good to see you." She then jumped back with a wide smile and pointed to the two people already inside her apartment.
"This is my friend Winn, he works with me at Catco, along with helping me when I wear my tights." I nodded to him with a smile before extending my hand.
"Nice to meet you Winn, I am Percy." He nodded.
"Pleasure to meet you as well." I chuckled.
"Not to sure you want to use pleasure right of the bat. I can be a kind of acquired taste." Him and the woman began to laugh as I turned to the woman with a wide smile.
"And you must be Mrs. Danvers, it is no wonder where your daughter got her good looks from." She frowned for a moment.
"I am confused. Kara told me you know about me being her adopted mother. You also arrive with Alex before complimenting her." I chuckled as I caught the two sister look to each other out of the corner of my eye.
"Well yes, I am dating Kara, however I spend a lot of time with Alex and consider her a dear friend. I also feel honesty is important so when the relationship started and I was asked about the beauty of the two of them, well. There was a reason they did not react just now. As my mother always said, Honesty is the best policy. Long as I don't stray they is no problem." She narrowed her eyes through the whole thing before smiling after a moment and extending her hand to shake.
"I think we will get along Percy, please call me Eliza." I nodded with a smile.
"Of course, as long as you call me Percy, instead of an enemy." She giggled before looking to her daughters.
"I think I am going to like this one." I chuckled before Winn threw an arm around my shoulder.
"Percy, please teach me how to be that smooth." I chuckled.
"Like I said, always be honest and deliver the words with a nice tone." He blinked as Eliza giggled and Kara went to the oven to get the turkey while Alex went for the wine immediately. The rest of us took our seats.
I smiled as Kara cooked the turkey in five seconds before chuckling.
"Faster and more efficient than a microwave. I knew those beams had a good use besides beating up bad guys." Everyone chuckled as Eliza smiled at me.
"Percy, I need to ask, if you spend a lot of time with Alex and find her good looking, than why are you dating Kara." Alex groaned.
"Really Mom? Is that really needed to be asked?" She frowned.
"I would ask you later, but if he truly believes in honesty than I would like to see how honest he is." I smiled at a panicked Kara before looking to her.
"I met Alex at work. The relationships between coworkers can strain easily and Alex is very professional to her lab rats." She frowned and seamed taken back.
"Your a lab rat?" I chuckled.
"By choice, nobody would be able to study me if I didn't allow it." She shook her head in confusion.
"Why is she studying you?" I raised an eyebrow to Kara who shook her head while looking at the table. Nodding I sighed.
"Kara has not told you how we met than." Kara shook her head.
"No I didn't." I nodded.
"Ok, in that case I will simply say that Kara is not the only non human here." I bowed my head before gesturing to the glass of water in front of me and sending it into the turkey before I split it into pieces and ice brought the pieces to each plate as Winn, and Eliza were wide eyed.
"Your an alien?" She asked as I shook my head.
"No, son of Poseidon." I responded as Winn went wide eyed.
"Your a demigod!" I chuckled.
"Little louder Winn, I don't think they heard you in Metropolis." He blushed, but nodded.
"Sorry, I just… the Gods of Olympus are real?" I shook my head.
"Not for a few millennium in this dimension." He blinked rapidly.
"The multiverse is..." I held up a hand to stop him.
"Ok, this is thanksgiving, not an Interview. Lets focus on enjoying the food." Eliza shook out of her shock.
"Of course, that is a wonderful idea Percy." She smiled between me and her daughters. Kara stood up.
"I was thinking that we could go around the table and say what we are thankfu..." Her phone went off as she frowned and silenced it.
"Sorry, that was James. He can wait." She sat down and put her phone in her purse, I smiled.
"I am thankful that I am surrounded by people that accept me for who I am, not who they think I can be. Your turn Kara." She smiled widely.
"I am thankful that Mom is here, we are all safe, and that I have family around this table." She said before reaching across me and grabbing Alex's knee and Eliza's hand. Eliza smiled.
"I am thankful about my girls being safe, and happy." Winn went to talk before Alex spoke.
"I work for the government." We all looked at her as she glared at Eliza.
"Early you complained about me not watching out for Kara, well that is literally my job. I work for an organization called the DEO and I help Kara as Supergirl. I am thankful Percy is honest because it is so refreshing. You say one thing to me while Kara is around than complain the next. Why can't you just be honest? Tell Kara you don't think she should be Supergirl. Why is is my responsibility what she does, she is an adult." Eliza frowned.
"The DEO?" Alex nodded.
"Yes, we focus on..."
"I know what you do, how could you?" She then turned to me.
"Honesty huh? Let me guess they treat you like a threat and a prisoner." I looked between the girls and picked up a knife.
"I didn't lie to you Ma'am if I wanted them to stay away from me they would." I dragged the knife across my arm and it barely cut one layer of skin.
"Alex is the only one I allow to study me." She took a deep breath before Kara's phone went off. She picked it up with a huff before she saw the ID.
"That was Cat, I have to go." She stood and walked out of the room as Winn sat there and began to nibble on his food. Eliza glared at Alex before looking to me.
"Please tell me you are not a criminal. Kara actually seamed to like you." I shook my head.
"I am not a criminal at all." She nodded before frowning and looking to Alex.
"Your organization is the reason your father died. They wanted Kara after she took you flying. Your father went to work for them instead. A week later I was told he died in a plane crash." I frowned.
"Did you want me to leave? This seams personal." Alex sighed.
"You can't go back without me remember?" I nodded.
"I just meant to the other room." Eliza shook her head.
"Don't worry Percy I will continue this at a later date instead. For now how about a truly honest answer. What happened between you and my daughters?" I frowned and took a breath.
"I didn't lie actually. Just left out some details. If you want the whole truth, here it is." I took a deep breath as Alex forwent the glass and began to down wine from the bottle.
When I finished Eliza had teary eyes and Winn seamed ready to curl into a ball.
"Percy, I don't know… I don't know what to say." She turned to Alex as a tear fell.
"I am so proud of you." She stood up and hugged her wide eyed daughter while whispering in her ear. I looked to Winn.
"Still think it's awesome I am a demigod?" He gulped and shook his head.
"Your in prison, literally because they don't understand you." I nodded with a sigh.
"Yup. Imagine if they took me to the hospital instead of a cell? I would have stuck with being human." He shook his head.
"I guess I am thankful to be born on earth instead of sent here. Never thought that would be what I am thankful for on thanksgiving." I laughed.
"Your a good guy Winn. So what do you do at Catco?" I asked before I began to eat the food in front of me.
Line break
I was walking into the DEO with Alex when Supergirl landed next to us.
"Alex, she is make of lightning. How do I fight that?" Alex frowned as we walked forward, I on the other hand chuckled.
"Thalia was a daughter of Zeus, I used to just throw water in the way. My other friend used to say I grounded it or something. I just figured it was like not wanting a toaster in the bathtub." They both looked at me as I help up my hands.
"Or not, I will just go to my cell." I began to walk away as Alex grabbed my arm.
"Kara, he might have a point. Hank told me to get the..." I shook my head and walked away as they gave me a look. I liked them, Eliza and Winn. The rest of this world can suck it. I headed to my cell to change out of the monkey suit.
Time Skip
It had been a few weeks or so before Alex and Supergirl came by and I frowned. Specially since my cell had remained open the entire time.
"Supergirl, I haven't seen you in a few days, but your not feeling good are you?" They looked between each other before shaking her head.
"I burned out my powers fighting an android. I am human now." I sighed.
"Perfect time to relax and take a vacation. I hear Fiji is wonderful this time of year." They gave me a look and I panicked.
"No please, I always wanted to visit Fiji in my last dimension, don't tell me it isn't here." Alex shook her head with a small grin.
"It is here, but why are you not upset about her loosing her powers?" I shrugged.
"Kara is Supergirl weather she has them or not. She chose to use the powers to help people the powers didn't make her. She could have been evil, so why worry? I can feel her cells getting more dense by the minute anyway?" Alex frowned.
"Don't most people say by the second when talking about speed?" I shrugged.
"Maybe, but I can actually feel it. Second is too fast." I laid back down on my bed as Alex came over and sat down next to me with Supergirl standing where the camera is as I raised an eyebrow before Alex took a deep breath.
"Remember what Mom told me on thanksgiving?" I nodded.
"Yeah, why?" She glanced to Supergirl before sighing.
"Hank was the one who went with Dad. He was the last one to see him alive." I frowned.
"Can I attack him then?" She shook her head.
"No, however I am going to try harder to get you out of here. You need to be a model prisoner. Ok?" I rolled my eyes.
"Alex, you left my door open for a while. I think I have been." Supergirl giggled with a snort and a nod.
"Alex, do you want me to analyze the composition of your boss?" She gave me a look.
"I have really only done it to you two, Winn, and your mom so that I know your signature for lack of a better word." The two girls looked to each other before nodding.
"Thank you Percy, remember though you need to behave." I nodded with a deep sigh.
"For now how would Supergirl like to grab something to eat?" Supergirl went wide eyed.
"Percy, you already helped with Mom, you have no need to put on a show." I blinked.
"Kara, I was being serious. If you do not want to hang out with me simply say so. I enjoy hanging out with you, and not just to get out of the cell." I gave her a smile before shutting my eyes to relax.
"I would suggest using this time to relax and learn what it means to be human. You have a unique ability to do that right now." I listened as they left the room muttering about talking to their mom and such.
Time Skip
When I woke up to an Earthquake I was cursing my luck. Supergirl is powerless and an earthquake, these are some bad odds. Not even 30 minutes later a crazy alien with purple skin and a glowing gem on his head appeared at my door.
"You haven't escaped yet." I shrugged as he laughed.
"The syndrome has truly been activated than. The female is not here at the moment. I can get you out." I frowned, nothing is more annoying than being manipulated.
"Your sure Alex isn't here?" He chuckled darkly.
"No she isn't." I smiled.
"Lets do this then." I said before holding out a hand as I stood for him to shake. As he grabbed it his radio went off.
"Jemm, you only need me to open the cells, meet me in the control room. This ends now." I frowned to him.
"You lied." I summoned the water from my bucket before his head hit the ground in seconds. I glared at his lifeless body.
"The biggest problem with humanity is having a conscious." I walked out to the control room with a frown, thinking about what I just did. Would I have actually helped him escape.
"Alex! He is in my cell. Could I get a wash of it? Kind of made a mess." I looked around the dark room.
"Percy, is it really you?" I nodded at the darkness.
"How did you want me to prove it?" I suddenly sensed something behind me and turned.
"Or perhaps your boss behind me would like the proof instead?" I turned with narrowed eyes.
"How is it that you are so compact you could probably rival Supergirl in durability. Your not human are you?" I held out my hand before the black man started to cringe as I took control of his blood.
"You wanted me to do this to Alex to escape." I stalked up to the man who had tormented me.
"You have treated me like a criminal, when my only crime was trying to escape unjust captivity. I never injured anyone, I never killed anyone." I was now right up against him as my hand closed around his neck.
"I could have done so much it isn't funny. I can create earthquakes ten times as strong as the one that wiped out the power. I have always wondered what would happen if I exploded your blood from the inside." I chuckled darkly.
"Would it paint the walls, could I manage to keep it as a ball. Maybe I could use the iron in it to solidify the blood into a decent weapon. Who knows wha..."
"PERCY!" Alex was right behind me. I turned and narrowed my eyes. She appeared very sad.
"I understand how you feel. You can't kill him though." I tilted my head.
"I could." I said before the man cringed as I moved his blood again.
"Do not kill him Percy." I sighed before I released him.
"Bastard, answer me one question, or I remove a limb and deal with Alex being angry with me. What happened to her father?" He took deep breaths from the floor.
"You really can't betray her can you? You could have asked anything, and you try to help her." I glared as I summoned a sword of ice to my hand before removing all all the imperfections from it as it hardened even farther.
"You think I would still be here if not for you threatening her job? Answer the question." He sighed.
"The DEO was chasing an innocent alien refuge through Peru. The mission was to terminate it."
"My father would never have agreed to that."
"Your right, he found out and tried to help the alien. Hank Henshaw and your father died in order to help him." I saw Alex gulp.
"Your not Hank?" He shook his head as his eyes glowed.
"I will answer whatever you ask after this, however I made a promise to your father to take care of you. I am a Shapeshifter who took this form to fix the problem with the DEO. Please, leave the remaining questions until later." Alex took a deep breath.
"Percy, please wait here while we go get the others." I glared at the man.
"He is a fake, yet he keeps me in a cell. I could kill him without a problem yet..."
"Percy, you will not be in a cell any longer. I promise." I sighed, but sat on the floor leaning against the wall.
"Fine." They left as I thought about what happened. I need to ask Alex about what that guy did to get locked up. Hopefully he actually deserved it.
Line break
It took a while and I got a lot of looks from the agents, but Alex and Hank finally came back. Alex gave him a look before he sighed.
"Everyone listen up!" He called before everyone looked to him.
"We all know how Percy has been a model prisoner lately. Well I was given definitive proof lately of his origins, and he helped us greatly today. Therefore we will not have to deal with him as a prisoner anymore. Alex is taking control of him and we will sort out the identification and everything later, when we have the time and resources available. Are there any questions?" He asked as everyone looked to each other before shaking there heads. He nodded.
"Good, now whoever was on Jemm duty can go clean up Percy's old cell." Three people left while muttering as he turned to Alex and me.
"The two of you can sweep the prisoners before headed out." I sighed and followed Alex.
"Why was I kept in the cell?" She sighed.
"Because he couldn't read your mind, which apparently is something he can do." I shook my head back and forth with a sigh.
"I don't like him." She sighed.
"I understand that. For now though he has promised me more answers." I rubbed my head.
"Ok, lets just go so I can sleep outside of a cell." She nodded.

I spent the last three days sleeping in Alex's apartment. Today I was visiting Kara at work since she didn't know I was out yet. When I exited the elevator and found her desk she smiled. Before grabbing me in a hug.
"Percy, what are you doing here?" I chuckled as I glanced around.
"Got out of quarantine and bunked with Alex for a few days. Finally felt up to coming to visit you." She smiled widely.
"Are you the surprise she said was at her apartment for when I was ready?" I chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah I..."
"Kara! Come in here with that man." She flinched and sighed.
"Lets get this over with." I laughed and followed her in to meet her blond boss.
"Who are you?' She asked as we walked through the doors with her glasses in her hand. I smiled.
"Straight forward, I like it. Nice to meet you Cat Grant, I am Percy Jackson." She held out her hand with a smile.
"How did you two meet? She has a very busy life after all." I shrugged as Kara sighed as I answered.
"I trained her in kickboxing. I heard she was extremely sore at work the next day. Sorry to have impeded her work." She went wide eyed.
"You taught Supergirl how to fight?" I blinked.
"Kara you didn't tell me you told… you didn't did you." I started before stopping as Kara glanced between us wide eyed. I sighed and turned back to a smirking Cat.
"You are manipulative." She smiled.
"Kara, clean out your desk I can't stop thinking about how much of your time I am taking away from you being a hero." I raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't that a terrible idea? Honestly even Supergirl would need to sleep, and make money. Or do you want the government to wonder how she lives? Find the blond who doesn't have a job and yet has money, boom, Supergirl." I sat on the couch with a smile as Kara looked between me and a wide eyed Cat. It was silence for over a minute before Cat frowned to me.
"I had not thought about that. So Kara, you will instead have smoke breaks whenever you need them." Kara froze.
"Ms. Grant I don't… right yes I understand. Thank you." She nodded.
"Saves me from having to break in a new assistant anyway. I will expect an interview within a week. Percy, tell me about yourself, how can you keep up with Supergirl?" I gave her a lopsided smirk.
"I have no reason to answer your questions." She sighed.
"I suppose your right. But if your able to play fight with Supergirl, why do you not help the city?" I frowned.
"I have no love for the humans of this planet. When I arrived it was shoot first ask questions later. Not to mention the damage you do to the earth every day makes me sick." She sat back slowly, as I spoke, with widening eyes as she went.
"I am unsure what to say about that." Kara was shocked, but I simply nodded.
"Let Kara know what you have a response and I will come back for us to continue the talk." She nodded without talking.
"Could I take Kara for a lunch, or do you still have need of her?" She sighed.
"I need her for now. What are you? Please?" I smile softly at the still clearly shocked woman as I stood up and gave Kara a hug.
"Son of Poseidon, chosen successor of Pan. Have a nice day Ms. Grant." She nodded with even wider eyes now. Kara smiled at me before sitting on the couch and reassuring Cat. I simply nodded and left the room before giving a high five to Winn on the way out. Hopefully Kara doesn't hate me for confirming it to her boss.
Line break
I was under the water for so long I couldn't stop smiling. I had missed this, but I had no desire to stop. Maybe I should live here. Suddenly a blue blur appeared above me and hovered. I went to the surface and smiled at the cute blond.
"Supergirl, sorry about today at work." She shook her head.
"Once she finally got over you we talked and it all got worked out. However we need to talk. I want your help fighting my aunt. She wants to kill everyone." I sighed.
"Supergirl I was serious when I was talking to your boss. While I don't want to kill them I don't want to defend them." She frowned.
"Are you still willing to help train me?" I chuckled.
"Only if you show me to a pawn shop afterwards. Then let me take you to dinner." She frowned in confusion. I chuckled before diving down to a shipwreck I had found earlier.
Line break
We were at her favorite restaurant with piles of pot stickers on the table between us.
"How many shipwrecks are there that people don't know about?" I laughed.
"Are we counting stupid rowboats?" She shook her head.
"Why would someone bring a rowboat into the ocean?" I chuckled.
"I traveled up the entire west coast in one?" She gave me a look.
"You are different, but no I mean anything valuable." I thought for a moment.
"I only went like a mile out, but I saw at least, 2 dozen." I finished with a thought as her eyes went wide.
"Do you plan on working, or simply scavenging?" I shrugged.
"Scavenge, more fun that way. Make my own schedule too." She giggled.
"I can take as many breaks as I want thanks to you. Actually she asked that I send her a message so she has a scoop, but that is easy enough." I laughed.
"Glad I assisted instead of impeding." She nodded.
"I am still upset with you by the way. Why wont you help me with my aunt?" I sighed.
"Kara, trust me if I hadn't been in prison for so long for nothing I would have felt honor bound to help. As it is apart from you Alex, your mom and Winn, I don't care about this place anymore." She sighed deeply, but nodded.
"Percy, what is your plan moving forward? I enjoy hanging out with you, but there is no way I could date you when you don't care about anything." I sighed with a smile at her.
"In that case, I will see you if you find me after this. I hope you manage to find happiness, and defeat your enemies." She came around the table and hugged me.
"Where do you plan to go?" I shrugged.
"Gonna try to find a portal, or just stay in the trench. Who knows with the pressure maybe I could become more durable than you after a while." She nodded and smiled at me.
"Your a good guy Percy, what if I want to talk to you?" I shrugged.
"You can figure it out." I kissed her cheek and left the restaurant.
When I hit the ocean I swam out and down to the trench. I felt the pressure increasing and when I reached the bottom I felt the difficulty in moving. I shook my head like I was in mud. Getting used to this might take longer than I thought. Looking to the wall of the trench I used my powers to carve out a place to live. Just living here would take some getting used to. On the bright side, there are no people here. I laid down to sleep. I wonder if I am ever going to leave this place.
