I own nothing not Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Arrow
Blinking my eyes open, I took in my new location. I was in the middle of the jungle. Sitting up I felt my pocket before frowning, riptide was no longer there. Standing I turned before an arrow went through my shoe pinning me to the ground. Looking to where it came from, only to see a man with another aimed at my head this time.
"I have watched your body for the last two hours. There was no pulse, and you appeared in a flash of gold. Talk fast or I get the bait I thought I was using back." I sat down keeping my hands in front of me.
"That is a very long story, that you probably would not believe." He frowned before jumping down from the tree, executing a roll and coming up with the arrow drawn instantly.
"You would be surprised, about what I would believe." I sighed and shrugged.
"Get comfortable then cause I am unsure if it even takes place on this earth." I said remembering Kronos talking about dimensions. He shook his head and blinked a few times.
"Get to talking and we will see about proof later."
When I was done, his response was to put an arrow through my other leg. I screamed in pain and began to curse in ancient Greek. He smirked.
"I thought you said you were bullet proof." I glared at him as I yanked the arrow out.
"I also said a Gods damn titan split my body and threw me into another dimension!" he pulled out a thermos and opened the lid.
"Prove your story then." I glared, however didn't have much choice. I felt the tug in my gut before the water began to float out and cover my leg healing it before his eyes as he blinked a few times and nodded pulling the other arrow out of my shoe.
"Well Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, I am Oliver Queen, welcome to Lian Yu. The island prison."
Time Skip three months.
I was relaxing on my cot when Oliver and two others came into the broken plane. They both froze looking at me.
"Hey bowman, I thought we were alone, where did you find the two of them?" He smirked as they both narrowed their eyes at him. I laughed.
"Really, no comment? I haven't seen a girl in months and I didn't embarrass myself, I deserve some kind of congratulations." Oliver laughed as he got out a few cups and put them on the bench.
"Congrats water boy, now get to work." I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah sure now comment about the blond, just get to work. I see how it goes now." The said blond began to sputter before going silent as I condensed water in the air into water for the cups. The gun came out of the holster on the black man's belt. I raised an eyebrow as a chuckling Oliver began to drink his cup.
"Are you dating Blondie or did I scare you with the water from nowhere?" When the water came out of Oliver's nose, I jumped up in happiness.
"Yes, that makes twice this month!" he glared as the blond and the black guy, who I relay need the names for, sat down in shock, taking the cups. The black guy looked to Oliver.
"I thought this was an abandoned island. Why am I looking at a magic boy?" I smiled and looked to Oliver.
"So does this mean I get to see that city you keep talking about?" He sighed and finished off his water.
"Percy Jackson son of Poseidon, meet Diggle, and Felicity." I nodded remembering the stories.
"The ones who kept you alive as the hood." The two now named people smiled as Oliver frowned.
"Are you ever gonna not be sarcastic?" I put a hand over my chest and turned to the two people.
"Is he always this grumpy when people joke with him or is it just me." Felicity nodded.
"Not just you, don't worry." I smiled and leaned back in my seat.
"So, Diggle, how do we plan to get Mr. Broody back home? He hid the key to the boat, and I don't know the layout of this dimension so don't feel like high jacking it." Felicity looked to Oliver.
"Well if he doesn't lead us away, then we are, hang on a second, different dimension?" I smirked.
"Blackmail, interesting plan. I like it" I turned to a frowning Oliver.
"Are you really going to strand an innocent blond beauty like her, where there are three men. At least take the boat and get me and Diggle someone to love." Felicity looked to Diggle.
"I don't know how I feel about this one." Oliver sighed from his chair and gestured for a refill.
"He is an acquired taste, unfortunately I agree with him." I smiled.
"You're getting me girl?" Diggle laughed and water came out of his nose and I through my hands up before I frowned.
"Do I have to make a new tally for him, or can I add it to yours?" Oliver started to smirk as Felicity giggled a bit.
"Ok, I know how I feel, and it is positive." I smiled and gave her my baby seal eyes.
"Positive enough that you can make me a new identity? Oliver praised your skills on a computer." She turned to him with a smile.
"Did he now, and what else did he say about me?" I smiled before a knife penetrated my cup inches from my mouth. I glared at him.
"That was my favorite cup you asshole." He stood.
"Let's go home." He said tilting his quiver upside down as the key on a chain fell out. I laughed with a smile.
"I should have known you kept it with you." He smiled and tossed it to me.
"The coordinates are in the glove box. I am just going to pack up." I smiled and jumped up.
"Captain Percy says we sail in one hour." I heard muttering as I left, but simply assumed it was the three of them talking about me. I thought that was fair enough.
Time Skip
With my powers and the power of the boat we made landfall in a few days and rested once we arrived. Waking up in the huge room and bed the following morning, I was shocked at how Oliver lived if he would rather live on an island. He came into the room without knocking and I raised an eyebrow.
"What's up? Did you forget how to knock?" He looked to the door and sighed.
"Right sorry, how old do you want to be?" I was taken aback.
"What do you mean?" he smiled.
"Have you looked in the mirror since you arrived? I think the trip from your dimension might have aged you. I didn't say anything before, however you could easily pass for 19 or 20." I stood and walked into the bathroom before nodding.
"Fair enough, how about 18 so I can do stuff by myself." He nodded as he chuckled on his way out.
"Felicity should have your id by tonight." He called back over his shoulder. I smiled and decided that I needed to decide if I want to keep my month old stubble. I sighed and shook my head.
"Too lazy to shave." I said to nobody as I simply showered and slept more in the comfy bed instead of the island cot.
Time Skip
I was following Oliver into club Verdant. I smiled at the bright signs and everything.
"If Thea asks, you are someone I met I Europe that I hired as an errand boy." I nodded with a raised eyebrow.
"So she doesn't know about your archery fetish or where you really were?" He turned and glared at me.
"Not a word about that stuff. Understand?" I nodded. He sighed and turned around seeming uncomfortable in his suit. We walked through the doors and he smiled.
"I don't think he is coming back." I head a girl's voice say.
"I am back." Oliver said before I managed to get out of the doorway. Reaching the side I saw a beautiful girl jump into his arms.
"Ollie I am so glad your back." I smiled at her before noticing the boy behind her looking at me with an upset look.
"I thought Diggle was tall and black." I smirked and spoke in Greek.
"wow, I didn't realize the people of starling got jealous just because I stared at a beauty. Of course if you told me your sister was beautiful I might not have upset him." I saw Thea's cheeks blush and laughed.
"You understand Greek I take it. Oliver didn't mention that, Speedy." I said before she narrowed her eyes at him.
"So not only do you cut all contact to me, but you learn a new language and tell a stranger about my childhood nickname." I chuckled.
"Don't worry Thea he mentioned much more than that. He mentioned about how smart, and independent you are as well." I held out my hand to the other boy.
"Jealous person, my name is Percy Jackson, pleasure to meet an appreciator of beauty." I felt Oliver grab the back of my jacket and pull.
"Don't make me find another Errand boy." He said giving me a look. I chuckled and turned to Thea.
"I would take any job to keep me close to this beauty." I said as she blushed again. Oliver grabbed my shirt and turned me around to face him.
"Go wait in the car, we will be talking later." I held up my hand and sighed.
"Ok, see you later beautiful." I said before turning around, and headed for the car.
The door opened suddenly as Oliver came in and glared at me.
"What the hell was that, you never mentioned being a flirt in your story? What happened to Annabeth." I blinked a few times.
"I don't know. I have never done that before." He sighed and shook his head.
"I will chalk it up to the magic and the loneliness on the island. Just know that if you end up making Thea even slightly care about you, then I will make sure you never meet another you to combine back. My sister will not have to grieve you, understand!" He yelled the final word and I nodded. His phone went off and he sighed before answering it. I watched his eyes immediately knowing it was bad news.
"Dig, I need to get to city hall immediately, Laurel was just at gunpoint." The car shot out of the parking spot and down the street.
I was playing with the dagger I took from the house when Oliver came in and looked to me confused. I smirked.
"I am a demigod, I need a weapon." Diggle laughed from the driver seat.
"I can understand that, as a former soldier, I feel the same way." I nodded.
"I used to have a sword and shield, now I only have this dagger I took from the house." He nodded as we pulled away.
"Want me to see if I can find one for you to keep with you?" I smiled.
"Yes please that would be awesome." He chuckled.
"What kind of sword?" I smiled.
"I am trained with a xiphos, but anything I could hide would be good. Something tells me I would need to keep it to myself." Oliver sighed.
"Dig, he is not becoming a vigilante." I chuckled.
"Why would I want to fight, this is a protection thing." He sighed and nodded.
"Fair enough." I smiled.
"That being said, if you take up your bow again, who would the target be?" Oliver glared at me as Diggle chuckled.
"There is a group of four vigilantes who decided to off the mayor." I raised an eyebrow.
"Did that assist the city at all, like was he corrupt?" Diggle sighed.
"Not corrupt just focused on the rich and didn't care about the poor and normal." I frowned.
"Sounds like someone you impeach not kill. Are you sure they are vigilantes instead of murderers." Diggle shook his head.
"I don't think they are no. They are murderers that do what they want." I nodded.
"The only reason for a vigilante to kill would be if they are a killer, not a bad politician." Diggle smiled as Oliver frowned.
"You have stronger ideas about this then you let on." I raised an eyebrow.
"Remember my story, there were demigods in the titan army." He nodded.
"Sorry, I didn't think about that." I nodded.
"Am I ever going to get your story Percy, or just references like I have gotten." Diggle asked with a look. I sighed.
"I don't like to talk about it. As it comes up I will give information though." He nodded in understanding.
Time Skip
It was a few days later when I got my first taste of an angry Oliver. I was next to him in the board meeting and I could tell this Rachel or whatever her name was had pissed him off. I had a smirk before I heard something and the door across the way shot open. When four men in black masks emerged with guns I was glad Diggle had gotten me a balanced knife.
"Oliver Queen you have failed thi…" I didn't wait for him to finish talking. I threw my knife impaling his hand before he dropped his gun and I flipped the table. Shots rang out as I ducked behind the table. Oliver began to try to get everyone out as Diggle returned fire. I jumped the table after a few seconds punching the closest one in the stomach and the next in the kneecap. I saw the gun of the next turning to point at me as I grabbed the barrel and came up with my elbow. The barrel bent in half before the gun blew up with shrapnel going around. I fell to the ground with my arm bruised and bleeding as I realized he pulled the trigger anyway. There was a red tinge to my sight as I blinked. Touching my head I realized I was bleeding above my right eye. I vaguely saw the last one shooting at Diggle as he brought the other ones out the door.
Diggle came over to me aiming his gun at the door.
"Percy, are you ok?" I looked to him and frowned.
"Are you bleeding or is the red on your face from my blood covered eye?" He chuckled.
"Talking means ok in my book." I shrugged and looked around.
"Are we alone in here?" He nodded with a frown. Focusing carefully I pulled the blood out of my eye and ripped my sleeve to stop more going in. I blinked a few times and looked at him.
"Ok, good now you're just black instead of red." He sighed and began to look around.
"What happened with the gun?" I sighed as I stood on shaky legs. He grabbed me to help me walk.
"I bent the barrel and the idiot pulled the trigger anyway." He grunted in confirmation before he helped me into Oliver's office and had me sit on the chair. He went to a mini fridge, grabbed water before talking was heard, and he sighed and put it back.
"Sorry no super healing with people watching." I nodded and looked as police, security, and EMS arrived. When EMS came over to me with wide eyes, I held out my hand.
"I refuse treatment unless you understand Greek!" I said figuring it would be funny. Diggle seemed to catch on though.
"He does not like doctors, he will get the care himself." They began to argue however when Oliver and Felicity came in with scratches they sighed and went to them. Oliver looked to me.
"I thought you said self defense, jumping the table is attacking." I smiled.
"I am a hero; you really think I am going to leave those men to attack the rest of the room." He sighed and shook his head. I stood as an officer came over.
"What are the chances I could convince him I don't speak English and not have to fill out a report?" I asked a now smirking Oliver.
"Mr. Queen, any chance this guy speaks English as well as whatever that language is?" Oliver smiled.
"His first language is Greek. However yes he speaks English." I chuckled at Oliver.
"Hello officer, what do you need from me?" He frowned at me.
"You sound fluent, why would you not let EMS treat you." I gave him a look.
"Religious reasons. Is that so bad?" He shook his head with a sigh.
"I don't like it but I understand. No, I need to know what happened from your perspective. I am being told you wounded one of them before flipping an entire table. That table ways way more than I would figure you could lift." I sat back down with a frown.
"Mind over matter Officer Lance, it is part of my religion. The same way I bent the barrel with my elbow and didn't break my arm." His eyes went slightly wider as he pulled out his notebook and began to write.
"Ok, from the top." I nodded and reiterated what I saw and did. At the end he shook his head but nodded.
"Can you come down to the station and sign an affidavit?" I raised an eyebrow.
"As Oliver told you, English is not my first language, can I sign your notebook instead? Writing it out would take forever." He frowned and sighed.
"Ok, but I don't know if my boss will accept it." I nodded and signed the book Oliver cleared his throat.
"I will have a lawyer talk to your boss detective. Worst case I will get a translator." He sighed but nodded.
"Your turn Mr. Queen." Oliver nodded and lead him away to a couch while Diggle came up behind me.
"Religion?" I chuckled.
"My father is the god of the seas, sounds like a religious reason to me." He opened and shut his mouth a few times before nodding.
"Yeah, that is fair." I smiled darkly.
"Those are the ones who killed the Mayor?"
"Yeah, why the look?"
"Cause I owe Oliver too much at the moment to let this go. I am not stupid, you and Felicity want him to pick up the bow again. Find me the location and they will be removed." He put a hand on my shoulder.
"This isn't your fight." I shook my head.
"I know about his mother, if they went after him it was probably because of her, who is the easier target in the family." It took a few seconds before he began to mumble.
"Exactly, Thea will probably be brought into this." I held out my hand.
"I need to go home and heal so I can be ready to fight." He slipped keys into my hand.
"Can you drive a bike?" I chuckled remembering riding with Annabeth to activate the statues.
"I can figure it out." He sighed.
"Left is the clutch, right is the front break, right foot back break and left foot the gears. Be careful." I nodded and began to limp away. I stopped in front of Oliver who was still talking.
"I am taking whoever's bike Diggle gave me the keys too. I need to go home and heal." He gave me a look.
"Your limping is it ok for you to transport." I chuckled, figuring he meant drive.
"You messed up a bit, but yes I will be fine." I chuckled at how fast he picks up languages. I heard him explain to the cop that I was going home to pray as I got to the elevator.
Time Skip
There was a knock on my door before it was thrown open and Oliver came into the bathroom where I was soaking naked.
"Come on man, I know we got to know each other well on the island but really, the bathroom."
"Thea was kidnapped I need information on the guys." I stood from the water no longer caring about my state of dress as I followed him into my room willing myself dry.
"Professionally trained, the smallest was about three inches taller than me the biggest was 6." I now had pants and a shirt on as we left the room.
"The ease of witch I saw one switch from rifle to pistol says military. One or two should be limping with how I damaged their kneecaps." I thought for a moment as I followed him into the garage where he tossed me a helmet and put on another.
"I can't think of anything else at the moment. Although if you don't want confirmed one seemed to be black." He nodded.
"There any reason for the thought?" He asked as he inserted his key and started the bike. I heard a click in the helmet and realized we were now connected so I started the other one.
"His glove and sleeve separated, either it was a dark shadow or his skin was black." Mom would have been terrified at the speed we were flying down the street, however this was an emergency.
He lead me into the night club by a back entrance and Felicity was waiting at the door. She lead the way talking to Oliver about upgrades she made and ideas she had. I was simply staring wide eyed at the high tech headquarters. Diggle put a hand on my shoulder with a smirk.
"Impressed?" I laughed.
"Yes I am, so where are the spare suits."
"You're not coming." Oliver said from the side as he began to take his suit off the mannequin. I glared back.
"Sorry, you barge into my bathroom while I am soaking to heal and I am not going?" Felicity stopped typing and looked to me.
"He saw you naked in the… never mind, not my business… are you fully healed yet?" She asked after a small ramble. I raised an eyebrow with a smirk.
"Yes I am, what about you, I saw EMS helping you out." She blushed but smiled.
"Yes I am good thank you." I turned back to Oliver.
"Find me a suit or I just follow you anyway." He growled.
"No, I am too rusty to have someone else there. I won't risk it." I nodded.
"See now that makes sense. In that case I will wait outside until you can get Thea out and I will take her to the hospital." I said looking at him. He shook his head.
"No, I don't want her to suspect anything if she recognizes you. Felicity when I start engaging call the police." She nodded and I glared again. He looked to me and sighed.
"When I get back we will train together so I can get a sense of how you fight. Deal?" I nodded still pissed off. He finished suiting up and left on his bike. I looked to the two remaining and shut my eyes.
"I need to train or something to calm down, what do you have here?" Felicity frowned and pointed to the Salmon ladder when I opened my eyes. I nodded in thanks before taking my shirt off so it wouldn't get in the way and jumped up grabbing the bar.
I listened to the radio as I hung by my knees on the bar doing sit-ups. When he finished the confrontation and delivered them to detective Lance I tuned everything out and started a more intense exercise. It was an hour or so later when I heard him.
"Felicity, you realize he is technically 16 right?" I rolled my eyes and back flipped off the bar. Sure enough Felicity was staring at my torso instead of my eyes with a blush. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"You done being ridiculous, I could have helped you. I have been doing this stuff longer than you have." He glared.
"You're a teenager, you don't need this life." I glared at him and walked out of the lair.
"Love to see you stop me then." I pulled my shirt back on at the door. There are more ways than only his.
It didn't take long before I made it to the docks following the pull in my gut. Naturally I couldn't catch a break.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I heard from behind me before the cocking of a rifle rang out. I spun and glared at him.
"I am in a bad mood, you do not want to do that." He chuckled darkly before I saw his finger twitch. I jumped at him using the water in the air to assist me. I was under his gun in under a second and hit him with an uppercut as I heard his jaw crack. He fell backwards before he dropped his gun and simply began to groan. I picked up the gun and glared at him.
"Tell your boss the docks are mine. If he has a problem with that then he can come here and take it up with me tomorrow night. You have till the count of ten before I find a new messenger." He slowly got up as I rolled my eyes.
"One, two." I took a pot shot into the air and he jumped. "Three…" Now he took off running. I frowned as I turned back to the water. I needed to work small. If I made the docks a safe haven then I could slowly expand. With that thought I jumped into the water.
Time Skip
I spent the day after I woke up investigating the water. As usual there was pollution however it wasn't poison as much as it was plastic. That I could fix easily. When night fell I emerged away from the spot and watched as dozens of people showed up. I smirked and began to make a mist cover everything to scare them. When I realized I could now sense everyone I laughed hysterically before several guns were suddenly cocked. They seemed to hear me I guess.
"This is more than just the boss. Let's see what happens when I make it a little colder." I said and made the mist freeze everyone solid. I was confused about why everything was so easy here before I understood suddenly. There was not any other gods here to contend against my powers. When the chaos I created shook me from my realization I stalked forward as the mist dissipated. I took in the men and saw one without a weapon. I walked up to him forming a layer of water over my face for concealment.
"You must be the boss." He looked at me wide eyed and I could tell he was struggling.
"Lets make one thing strait." I said allowing him to see my eyes.
"I am a god here. If I find any of your men on this dock you will not have a chance to get them back. This will be the day you gain a fear of the name Neptune." I finished before throwing my hand out shooting all of them back toward the street and thawing their heads. I smiled at them as the mist formed behind me and I jumped into the water without a sound when they couldn't see me anymore. I laughed at the show I just put on before frowning. I needed to charge my phone in case Oliver or Diggle called.
Time Skip
I quickly fell into a routine. Every night I would spend an hour in big belly burger charging my phone as I ate. During the day I cleaned the harbor and found some money/valuables I sold to buy food. Over the past two weeks I had several gangs attempt to take the docks from me, but it was child's play to take them out. Under the dock I now had a stack of over a hundred guns and thousands of rounds of ammo. The ones who attacked were frozen from the neck down and dropped off at the police station in the bread truck I had acquired through the same means as the guns. It sounds very demanding but in actuality I was having a lot of fun. The fish were coming to treat me like a king, however I actually earned the trust instead of had it because of dad.
Finally I received a phone call.
"Hello?" I asked since it was an unknown.
"Percy, it is Felicity, where are you?" I looked around from where I was floating and shrugged.
"Underwater, why?" I heard a deep sigh. Percy, Oliver is at a party and there is a medical supplies truck about to be attacked. If he leaves the party the news will attack him." I sighed and shot out of the water.
"Where is the depot?" I asked as I looked up and smiled at the rain.
"You suddenly showed up on my screen at the docks, your only five blocks from it." I nodded and began a fast jog as mist formed around me.
Arriving I smiled as several people began to mutter about a water demon.
"Water god actually, now who wants to fight because these trucks are going to the hospital." A man came out with what looked like tiger claws on his hands.
"So I wont be getting the Arrow tonight. No matter my claws will taste blood either way." I titled my head to the side and shrugged.
"I will take that as you want to fight." The mist all condensed on him before he was frozen solid in ice. I made sure I had the water mask as I stepped forward as he struggled. I turned to the three on the bikes and one woman with white hair. She glared before on instinct I caught the knife in front of my face. I looked to her.
"Nice throw, but you need to know who you can hit." I launched it into the first one on the bike hitting him in the thigh.
"Careful pulling that out, you don't want to hit the Artery." I heard her growl before she ran at me. Drawing my xiphos I caught her knife before blocking her kick. The minion ran to the truck as I fought this skilled woman. Finally I pushed her back and froze her too. I took several breaths before I made my mist, yanked the minion out with a water tentacle, and knocked him out. The remaining guy was panicking as I came closer to him. However I heard the sirens behind me seconds before the lights showed up.
"Freeze hands in the air!" I heard as I chuckled and my mist became too dense to see through as I ran away. Once I was far enough away I released my control and took out my phone.
"Hello."
"Didn't have faith in me I take it." She sighed in what sounded like relief.
"Well I don't have comms for you." I chuckled and nodded even though she couldn't see me.
"So how did it go are you ok?" I laughed again.
"I am fine, the police should deliver the truck hopefully." She sighed.
"Percy, please come back. We want you back." Now it was my turn to sigh.
"When Oliver tells me that I will think about it, for now, you have my number." I hung up before jumping into the water.
Time Skip
The next day at noon I was thinking about what Felicity said while I ate at big belly burger. Oliver walked into the restaurant while Dig followed. I raised an eyebrow.
"Weeks go by, and I tell Felicity you need to apologize before you show up the next day in person. If you're going to be whipped at least date her." He sighed as he sat down, Diggle was chuckling however.
"Dating is not as easy as you make it out to be." I raised an eyebrow.
"Have you asked her out?" He rubbed his face.
"I did not come here for dating advice." I chuckled.
"Ok, you could use it though." Diggle couldn't contain his loud laughter anymore and Oliver looked at him with a frown.
"I am not that bad." Diggle nodded in amused agreement. Oliver shook his head and looked back to me.
"I want you to come back, you can join me when I go out at night." I shrugged.
"I have a good thing going, not sure I want to leave." He looked to me.
"What kind of thing do you have going?" I chuckled.
"I am in charge of the docks. Ask you detective friend what he has heard about Neptune and the docks. Should be fun listening." I stood up putting a fifty on the table.
"Nice talking to you, next time send someone I won't walk out on." I left the joint and walked straight for the docks. There was a shipment arriving tonight and I wanted to make sure it was legit.
Time Skip
I shot myself up to the boat, landing with a loud thud. I held my hand above my head as I connected myself to the boat with a smirk as the engine shut down a mile from shore. I began to stroll down the isles with an octopus of water around me. each crate was inspected by a tentacle as I looked for guns or drugs. I made it halfway down the stacks before the captain appeared. He stepped forward wringing his hat with four men behind him.
"Are you the Neptune I heard about?" I smirked behind my mask, but nodded to him.
"Yes I am, as long as the ship has no guns, or drugs you will be free to go." He nodded.
"I have a crate for the police, it has weapons in it." I tilted my head walking past him I continued my inspection ignoring the crate I found the guns in. I looked to the man before pulling out my phone and dialing Felicity.
"Hello?"
"This is Neptune, I need to know if the police have a shipment of MP5 rifles coming in tonight?" The captain's eyes went wide as I narrowed mine. When the first bullet rang out I hardened the octopus.
"Percy! Are you ok, was that a gunshot?" I narrowed my eyes.
"I changed my mind, alert the police a ship just sank a mile off shore with an illegal shipment of guns." I felt for the water under the ship before dragging it up through the hull as the ships alarms began to blare.
"Percy, did you just sink a ship?" I laughed as I jumped over the edge into the water staying near the surface so that I had service. I couldn't keep the smirk out of my voice as I answered.
"Did the police order the guns?" I heard her bite a pen before she grunted.
"No they didn't." I chuckled.
"Then yes I sunk a ship, did you alert the police?"
"Yes I did, and the coast guard." I smiled.
"Thank you beautiful, did Mr. Broody ask you out yet?" She gasped.
"He is going to ask me out?" I chuckled.
"If he didn't then I will. Felicity, would you like to go out tomorrow night?" I heard her stuttering for a minute.
"Ok Percy, where are we going so I know what to wear?" I smiled.
"Meet me at the club for 7 and dress semi casual." I heard the smile.
"I will see you then." I nodded even though she couldn't see me and hung up the phone. I laughed loudly.
"This is going to kick his ass into gear for sure." I said to nobody as I heard the coast guard boats approaching quickly with their lights going crazy.
Time Skip
As promised I met Felicity outside of Verdant wearing nice pants and a polo. She was wearing what I saw her wear to work when I was hanging out with Oliver. I bowed my head to her as I saw her blush.
"Felicity, you look beautiful." I opened the door to the car I took from the bottom of the harbor for her to get in before going around to my side. I smirked as she was looking around.
"Percy, how did you afford this car? It is worth like what I make in a year." I laughed.
"I pulled it out of the harbor. It is easy to fix a waterlogged car when you can simply will the water out." She laughed and smiled looking forward as I drove through the city.
"Percy, what is this about? You are too young for me to be romantic with, and you know I like Oliver even though he refuses to ask me out. Diggle is convinced he will soon, but then you asked me and… yeah." I laughed at her with a smirk on my face.
"Nothing convinces a man to do something more than jealousy. This is a simple outing to thank you, for everything you did for me before Oliver was a grouch, Also Oliver should get jealous." She opened and shut her mouth a few times and looked down.
"I don't think he will, I am kind of…" I cut her off.
"You are a smart, beautiful, sexy, badass who he is already will to do things for. Don't sell yourself short, if it wasn't for the fact that you probably wouldn't get over the age difference this could easily be a different kind of outing." Her face was now bright red as I chuckled at her, pulling into the parking spot of a nice chain restaurant. She smiled and got out of the car before I could get her door. She grabbed me in a hug.
"Thank you, I guess I needed to hear that." I chuckled as we separated and went inside.
The dinner was wonderful, and before we knew it, it was time to go. Driving her back to the club she sighed.
"Percy, thank you, I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would." I smiled back at her.
"Anytime, Oliver doesn't know what he is missing. If he doesn't ask you out in the next two weeks, let me know and we will do this again. Taking out bad guys is fun and all, but nothing compares to a gorgeous woman on your arm." She laughed.
"Oliver should come to you for tips." I laughed immensely.
"He should, but we both know he is too stubborn." She nodded as I pulled into the club. I escorted her to her car before kissing her cheek.
"Bye, Felicity, thank you for the wonderful night." She gave me a hug that I gladly returned before she opened her door and entered.
"Percy?" I turned back from where I had started to go.
"Yes?"
"Can you come to the Lair tomorrow?" I laughed.
"Not just yet. I still have work to do from yesterday with that ship." She smiled and nodded to me. When she pulled out of the parking lot I went to my car and started to drive away.
"Really Oliver, you want to threaten me that bad?" I said before a shadow appeared in my rearview.
"Where are you staying? Lance says you have a bigger turn in rate then I do." I laughed as I simply kept driving.
"I stay in the harbor, don't forget I can breathe under water." He grunted.
"How did you know I was here?" I chuckled.
"I have water all over this car, you slipped in while I walked Felicity to her car." He sighed.
"So what you tell me to ask her out then beat me to the punch?" He said and I could hear the frustration in his voice. I laughed.
"It was one outing Oliver. Ask her out so she doesn't feel the need to go out with me." He grunted in annoyance. I shrugged as I pulled onto the road to the docks.
"Did she tell you about the shipment of guns I stopped last night?"
"Yes she did, any idea who it was for?" I shook my head.
"Once I get the manifest I will see if I can get it." He sighed.
"Thank you Percy. For what it is worth, I am sorry you feel the need to avoid me." I sighed as I parked the car.
"Oliver it isn't that I need to avoid you. It is that you think I will be a hindrance when I have been fighting for my life the last six years of it. You want to lead everything and I don't want to follow in a fight." He sighed and nodded in understanding.
"If you ever need help be sure to ask." I nodded and held out a hand.
"Same to you." He shook my hand in agreement. I smirked at him.
"Time to sleep, see you later." I said before running and jumping into the water clothes and all as his eyes went wide. I laughed as I went beneath the waves.
Dreamscape
"Percy?" I heard from behind me in a familiar voice. I turned and my eyes went wide.
"Apollo! Where am I, is it possible for me to get back?" He faded from view for a second before he came back with a sigh.
"Percy, we can't bring you back unless you fuse together again. You're not physically tangible for us. Kronos knew what he was doing, well apart from taking twelve swords to the chest." I chuckled as I felt tears in my eyes. He faded for a second before coming back
"I don't have much time, this is very draining." I nodded.
"Is he actually defeated?" Apollo nodded with a smile.
"Yes he is. Good job Percy. Try to enjoy your time here, you may not be able to come back. While you are here no curses can affect you. Maybe you can enjoy this now." He said before he faded and a bow that seemed to be made of crystal fell to the ground. I smiled and walked up to it. Lifting it I realized it felt right in my hand like Riptide did, I miss my sword. As I thought that I felt the bow change into a sword. I inspected it and noticed a timer on the hilt showing a countdown from twenty minutes. With a simple thought is switched back to a bow, and I saw no timer. I drew the bow and to my surprise an arrow made of ice formed. Releasing the tension I smiled as the ice disappeared.
"Apollo, I don't know whether to thank you or complain about it being a bow." I heard a whisper-like chuckle, before I smiled and the dreamscape faded. My last thought was, at least I didn't Raze Olympus.
Time Skip
I was in the harbor trying and failing to make any sense of the manifest in my hands. Figures that I am no longer cursed but the dyslexia still effects me. Suddenly there was a disturbance in the water nearby signaling someone threw something in that was suddenly beeping and very annoying. Swimming out to it, I collected it and began to inspect it. I rolled my eyes before launching myself to the surface expecting Oliver to be there. When I saw a blond in black leather, I was beyond shocked.
"Ok beautiful, you are not who I expected or who I usually need to kick the ass of and turn into the cops. Did you want this back?" I asked holding up the beeper. She came over with a smile.
"So your Neptune huh?" I smirked.
"Blond beauty has heard of me, but I have no idea who she is. Please remedy this terrible problem." I replied with a smirk as she chuckled.
"Don't you think I am a little old for you?" I raised an eyebrow.
"What is with women and age differences? If I was the older one, you wouldn't bat an eye." She thought for a second.
"I guess you right in that respect. You can call me Black Canary." I nodded with a smile as she took the beeper back.
"Nice to meet you Canary, how can I help a damsel clearly not in distress?" She smirked and I think I might have gotten a blush, but in this light I couldn't be sure.
"Do your lines ever actually work?" I laughed and shook my head.
"Not in the least, but I am all talk anyway." She chuckled behind her hand for a moment before clearing her throat.
"I have someone who helps me out so I can stay in the shadows. Suddenly she mentions a demon on the docks who doesn't need to breathe. What are you about?" I smiled.
"I am the son of Poseidon from a different dimension who got pissed at his only friend and decided to rid the bad guys from the dock." Her eyes narrowed and I could tell her jaw was clenched.
"Prove it." I raised an eyebrow.
"You mean besides the fact I grabbed your thing underwater and came out but yet am perfectly dry?" For the first time she actually inspected me.
"Ok, fair enough." I smiled with a nod.
"So if a woman was being assaulted on the docks?" I cut her off.
"If I knew about it I would help her. Go ahead and spread word that if a girl needs to get away near the docks she can jump in the water. She will be fine." I rolled my eyes and turned around before jumping back into the water effectively cutting off the weird conversation. I took a breath underwater and sighed before getting back to work on the manifest.
It was less than a minute later when I felt someone jump into the water. I swam out of my cave before giving Canary a look.
"Not that I don't like the view." I said noticing she was in a sports bra and panties, staff in hand.
"But what are you doing here?" Her eyes were staring at me wide as I rolled mine and summoned her into my cave and pushed all the water out. She began to gasp on the floor and I picked up the manifest.
"You're lucky I find this more amusing than anything else. So why are you here?" I asked as I dried her off. She looked around before finding my stash of weapons/valuables.
"Where did you get all this stuff?" I chuckled.
"From those who thought they could take the docks back, or shipped them into my waters. The valuables I sell, the guns sit there. No good will come from putting them on the street." She nodded in agreement before turning to me.
"So you really live under the docks. Don't like neighbors?" She asked as I chuckled turning the manifest hoping to read it before I threw it onto the ground.
"More like don't have friends, like I said I am new to this dimension." She picked up the manifest and began to read it. I face palmed before she looked at me.
"Sorry, I am just stupid. See I have dyslexia so can't read anything but Greek. That thing has been giving me a headache for hours. Where were the MP5 rifles supposed to go?" Her eyes went wide before she looked closer.
"I don't see them on here?" She replied as I shook my head again.
"I knew I should have written down the shipment number from the crate. I will be back. If you leave do not take the manifest." I dove through the layer of water before giving it a mental command to hold the cave full of air. It glowed and I smiled. I just wanted to keep it in mind, but I guess I can enchant water without other gods here. I chuckled at the thought before shooting away.
I arrived back with a smile, now knowing the crate number as I spotted Canary wake up on the bed I had in the corner. I chuckled before pulling all the water out of the mattress. She was wide eyed.
"Relax, you can sleep if you want. The blanket should be dry now too if you don't want me staring at your underwear." She smirked at me before finally taking off the domino mask. Pictures from the manor flashed through my mind as I recognized her.
"Do you not want me in my underwear? Thought you said I was beautiful?" She said with a smirk before subconsciously tracing a few scars on her torso. I chuckled.
"You might be worried about how you look with scars, but they show character Sara." I said before taking off my shirt and laying down next to her.
"I will take care of the manifest tomorrow." I laid down as she stared open mouthed at me. It took a moment before I felt her trace on my back.
"Hell-hound." I answered her unasked question. She touched another.
"Manticore." She sighed and laid down.
"Touch me in my sleep and I will kill you." I chuckled.
"Told you earlier, I am all talk."
"How did you know my name?" I chuckled as I adjusted my pillow.
"Saw your pictures in the Queens Manor, Oliver is a friend." There was a slight intake of breath before she sighed.
Waking up the next morning I noticed Sara was gone. Shrugging I figured it was fine. I got dressed before taking the manifest and writing down the number. Reaching the surface I started for Queen consolidated.
I made it a few miles before I realized an unusual police presence in a section of the glades. Getting closer I frown as I pull out my phone.
"Hey Percy, how have you been, did you know Oliver asked me to dinner for Tuesday?" I frowned.
"Isn't today Wednesday?"
"Yeah, he said it should be a slow day at his night job so he would skip it." I chuckled at that.
"Least he is being truthful. Speaking of night job, there is a crime scene 2.5 miles from my home. I need to take that guy out." She coughed before complaining about a pen, causing me to chuckle.
"Did you choke on your pen?" I asked.
"Can the crime scene stuff wait until tonight?" I smiled.
"Yes it can, I also have the manifest for MR. Broody, but tell him I have a migraine and didn't even get very far." She laughed.
"I always forget you can't read." I grumbled.
"Some day you're going to need an ancient Greek translation and I will be the one you call." She chuckled.
"Fair enough, so I will see you tonight?" I sighed and nodded.
"Yes Felicity, I will see you tonight." She laughed, but I heard the smile and I hung up the phone. Walking back to the Docks I figured I would grab my new bow and maybe get some practice in while I wait.
Time Skip
I had been shooting at the target down range for hours when the trio showed up and I still only managed to hit the outside edge once. There was laughter from behind me as I growled, while turning. Oliver pointed at the target.
"The outside ring is as big as my bed, how do you not hit it?" I threw my indestructible bow, don't ask, at the ground and sat in the chair.
"I don't want to talk about it, let's just say that this is an improvement from the last time I tried to shoot." He smirked as he walked over and bent down to pick up the bow. He gasped as he lifted it.
"It feels like it weighs nothing." I sighed.
"Yeah, I managed to talk to Apollo from my dimension. He said that none of my curses effects me here. Meaning I could learn to use that thing." He tried to draw the string only to grunt in effort.
"What is the draw weight on this, I can't make it budge?" I shrugged before an idea came to me.
"I allow Oliver queen to use my bow." There was a flash from the bow before it went back to normal. He tried again, and a black arrow was summoned as his eyes went wide. He spun around and shot the bulls eye on the target. He looked to me with a smirk.
"No need for a quiver?" I pointed at the target where my arrows had been melting for hours. His seemed to be fine.
"Mine are ice, not sure what yours were." He nodded before moving to give it back to my. When he walked over to his bow he blinked before looking at the target.
"I think it summoned one of my arrows. Can I try again?" I nodded handing him the bow as well as standing. When he drew everyone looked to his quiver seeing an arrow fade before one appeared in the bow. He laughed as he shot.
"That is a great bow. So did you get the manifest?" I nodded pointing to my bag and bringing my bow back to the target area to try to replicate him. A few minutes later and he walked over with a stick and began to push my feet around as I sighed. When I now hit the target twice in a row I smiled and allowed the instruction without complaint.
There was not much going on while I learned and heard Felicity typing when a phone ringing shattered the silence. Felicity jumped before apologizing and answering.
"Hello Detective Lance, how can I help you?" I gave Oliver a look as he shrugged.
"I see, would this be about the Doll maker case that you were personally involved in? I had an acquaintance who had me looking that up earlier." I put down the bow and followed Oliver as we looked over Felicity's shoulder.
"Yes Sir, he will meet you there in one hour, yes the mutual one not the new one." She hung up the phone.
"Oliver, you are being summoned to the top of 638 Manger street." He sighed and went over to suit up as I sighed as well.
"And me being the new one means I will not be involved, I understand." I said before putting my bow in the bag and starting to walk out.
"Let me know if you need help. The guy was close to my territory last night."
I was startled in my cave as I felt a projectile impact the bottom of the bay. Swimming out I grumbled at being summoned by Oliver and shot to the surface allowing the water mask to form, No need to have another Sara. When I landed on the dock I was glad I did as I saw the Arrow persona along with the Officer I met at Queen consolidated. I smirked behind my mask.
"Well this is interesting. The Arrow reveals my home to the police, maybe I should reveal your headquarters than." I said with a chuckle. The officer stepped forward wringing his hands.
"Neptune, I heard you were having a mutual friend look into this case. I was wondering what you know?" He asked clearly not liking talking to me. I chuckled.
"Detective Lance, I have heard a lot about you. Unfortunately I don't know much. I came across the crime scene this morning and felt it was too close to my home for comfort." He sighed as I was upset I couldn't help.
"Neptune." Oliver said before holding out a hand with an earpiece in it. I smiled and put it into my ear.
"If you hear anything." I nodded in understanding. I turned to the officer.
"I have quite the collection of guns down there I take from smugglers and criminals. If the Arrow trusts you then I will too. If you ever need firepower, let me know." He looked to his hip before sighing.
"Thank you for talking to me." I nodded and began to walk past them to the crime scene.
"Percy where are you going?" I heard Felicity ask me as I chuckled.
"The crime scene, I am going to see if I can get anything from the water." She grunted as Oliver told the detective before they went a different direction.
Arriving at the scene there were four cops there as I made my mist extend out. Stepping into the crime scene I heard a few hammers click back.
"Freeze, this is a crime scene." Turning to the one who just spoke I chuckled as I saw him pale.
"I am looking for evidence, and I have other talents than you." I said before the mist went so thick you could not see more than an inch. I heard them start to talk but simply ignored and as I felt with my mist what was where. Suddenly I felt something strange. Dissipating the mist the cops all spun to me with their guns as I stalked forward to a post where I suppose the body was. There was a few grains of dirt. I turned to the police.
"There is dirt at the base of this pillar. Bag it." I said before turning away ready to tell Felicity why it felt funny when the cop spoke.
"We should be arresting you, why would we do what you say?" I sighed and face palmed through my mask.
"Because there is a high salt content in the grains of sand, the doll maker is somewhere he has access to the ocean." I instinctually stopped the bullet with the mist a few feet after it was fired. The cop who fired fainted. I dropped the bullet as it clicked on the ground. I smirked.
"I hate getting shot at." I said moving my arms causing the mist to condense and swirl around me so once again you could not see in front of you. I smiled as I calmly walked out of the crime scene and chuckled once gone.
"Did you get that Felicity?" I heard a slight grunt.
"Yes I did, the information is being relayed to Oliver." I nodded and went back to the docks.
Arriving at the docks I spotted a girl nervously walking around. I gave her a look before she noticed me and backed up a bit. I held my hands out showing them empty.
"I am not going to hurt you, what is wrong?" She looked about my age wearing black leather and short black hair.
"I can't get back to my hideout, but a friend told me that the guy, Neptune lives around her and isn't too bad. I was going to ask for help." I gave her a look.
"You know Canary?" Her eyes went wide before a knife came out of her pocket clicking open.
"Who the hell are you?" I chuckled as I formed my tell tale mist around me.
"I am Neptune. Do you want help getting to the canary, or a place to stay?" Her eyes betrayed her worry. I sighed.
"Percy, who is Canary?" I ignored Felicity and turned off the earpiece, sliding it into my pocket.
"You don't trust me with the location to your hideout, and you're unsure of if I am truly trustworthy. Let's try this, who do I kick the ass of to ensure you can get home?"
"That would be us, Neptune." The girl spun around quickly with wide eyes as a group of almost two dozen people came around the bend. I narrowed my eyes as my mask formed quickly. The girl ran past me as they simply smirked.
"The Mayor is upset with you. Did you know about the bounty on your head? He isn't happy about you messing with his shipments." I tilted my head as the mist slowly crept in as to not spook them. I turned the earpiece back on as water put it into my ear.
"Who is this mayor I stole shipments from? Sounds like someone I need to speak with personally." The laughing was loud as one of them tapped the leader on the shoulder.
"Boss, the mist is getting thicker." I didn't hesitate. I stomped my foot creating a wall of ice behind me to block the girl as I launched myself forward using the mist to enhance myself. The 'boss' received an uppercut knocking him out instantly before the first gun went off. My mist slowed it down before several more joined it and all I could do was dodge them like nerf bullets. My sword was drawn removing an arm from one as I kicked the next in the shin hearing a crack. Six of them took off in freight before I kicked the next in the balls while extending backwards and giving that one a slice through the pants dropping him like a rock. The bullets stopped firing as they realized they had hit several of their own men. Using the flat of my blade I knocked out those remaining awake.
"Percy, are you injured?" I heard from the earpiece. I looked at myself before smiling.
"Nope, I think I managed to…" I heard the gunshot right as I felt the pain in my chest. I dropped to the ground, feeling my lung spasm. I turned to my ice wall and saw a man with fingernail marks racked down his face, gun pointed at me and the girl from before held in a headlock, her face turning red.
"Percy!"
"How you managed with all of them I don't know, but I am taking my prize and your head to the boss." I coughed as blood splashed onto the pavement.
"Percy, Diggle will be there soon, where were you hit?" I coughed again glaring at the guy who had a sick fascination with what was happening. I clenched my hand feeling a puddle behind him rise and form an Icicle.
"It takes… more… than a… lung shot to… kill a divine." I got out before yanking my hand backwards as the icicle impacted the base of his skull killing him instantly without even a twitch. I rolled onto my back as the crying girl ran over to me.
"You killed him." I laughed causing more blood to come out.
"Yeah… I did."
"How can I help?" I frowned before trying to crawl.
"Water." I said through a groan. I made it three feet before I blacked out.
Time Skip
I blinked my eyes open with a groan. Looking around I noticed I was on the bottom of the bay next to my cave. Looking inside of it I saw Diggle, and the girl, soaking wet. I felt my chest and the injury was slowly closing up. I swam slowly through the barrier, willed the water off them both as they jumped up, and turned around. I chuckled as I limped to the stack of clothes as I took off my shirt.
"DO either of you know anyone who can sew? I liked that shirt." I said grabbing a new one as Diggle knelt next to me and began prodding the wound.
"It glanced off the rib, that hasn't been healed yet. You should go back into the water." I nodded while looking at the girl.
"How did you both know about his cave?" The girl sighed.
"When Canary told me about you she mentioned that if I couldn't find you I should swim down to the bottom. Said she spent the night in here." I nodded before putting the shirt on and looking to Dig.
"The one over watching us? Is she freaking out?" He chuckled.
"In the field I go by Spartan. And no I called her up to let her know you were healing." I nodded and laid on the bed next to the girl.
"So beautiful thank you for helping me out, when do you need to be home by?" She gave me a look before answering.
"Time doesn't matter, but you saved me first." I shrugged.
"Whatever you say, so, name and time frame. What day is it anyway for that matter?"
"You have been out for 17 hours about. The girl has refused to give any information on anything." Dig said as I rolled my eyes.
"Spartan, she was a victim I helped, no interrogation needed."
"The arrow wants to meet the Canary, as you revealed she was called." I nodded.
"Then you ask the girl to mention it to her. Speaking of the girl." I said before turning my head to the wide eyed girl.
"Can I have a name so I can address you properly?" She sighed.
"Call me Sin." I nodded.
"Ok Sin, would you mind asking the Canary to meet me and the Arrow in my cave in three days, midnight? I promise she will not be attacked." She sighed.
"There was already a boy in red who tried to get information for him. He chased me up a flight of stairs." I chuckled.
"Spartan tell Arrow to calm himself and use his fighting friends not those who don't have training, or powers."
"Are you really a god?" Sin asked suddenly?" I looked at her, blinking a few times.
"What do you mean?" She blushed slightly before clearing her throat.
"You told the ass you killed 'it takes more than a lung shot to kill a divine' plus your name is Neptune." I smiled.
"I am only half divine. I am a demigod, son of Poseidon. I figured it would be funny calling myself Neptune." I adjusted to be more comfortable before sighing and standing up.
"Spartan, Sin, I want to sleep on my bed. Let's get you to the surface and I will dry you off before heading back down. Thank you both for everything you did for me." Dig sighed but stood.
"Tomorrow, you need to meet back with the Arrow to talk about this Mayor character. We hadn't heard about him yet." I nodded as I noticed Sin roll her eyes with a chuckle.
"Maybe worry about him instead of Canary." I held up a hand before looking to her.
"After the Hoods killing people I can understand the Arrow being careful with a new Vigilante, why do you think we know each other?" I said giving her a look. She sighed and sat down. I shook my head.
"Fine, one at a time it is, Spartan let's go." He nodded before diving into the wall and swimming up. I chuckled and followed easily before propelling us both to the docks.
"You have quite the set up down there." He said with a smile as I dried him. I chuckled.
"Works well unless you want to keep the food warm." He chuckled.
"I did notice it was a bit chilly, how did you manage electricity down there?" I chuckled.
"Demigod." I said before jumping back into the water with a laugh seeing him walk off. In reality what he thought was lights, was actually glowing water.
Arriving back at the cave I sighed looking at Sin who seemed nervous.
"No need to be nervous, don't worry. I promise I will just dry you off." She seemed to steel her nerves before walking up and grabbing my face. I had only a second before she crashed her lips onto mine. When we broke apart I smiled into her eyes.
"What brought that on?" She smiled.
"You saved my life, your attractive, hell you're a god basically. I am not leaving yet." She said before grabbing my shirt and pulling me into another make out session as we stepped backwards towards the bed. My plan had been to sleep before spending a few hours in the ocean to heal my chipped rib. That plan quickly was replaced as I felt my belt loosen.
Time Skip
"What the FUCK!" I heard waking me up before I felt something smack me across the face sending me flying off the bed.
"Sara NO!" I heard as I finally saw a wet Sara Lance with a boa staff. She began to stalk me as a naked sin was wide eyed on the bed holding a sheet across her chest.
"So what? You said you would save a girl if they needed help, not make them FUCK YOU!" she yelled as the staff cracked across my face again sending me sprawling. I stood up even though I was naked.
"Sara, I can explain." When her foot came up between my legs I grabbed it with water and glared. Holding out my hand I held her body still using the water in her soaking clothes. I frowned at the pain in my face as I walked to the wall turning her so she could see me and Sin as she grumbled.
"Your friend carried a knife, do you really think I could take advantage of her if she didn't want me to?" I asked sticking my head through the wall for a second as it healed and pulling it back out. I sighed as I walked over to the bed and got dressed seeing both women staring at me.
"I will be back with breakfast, sort things out between yourselves." I said walking into the ocean and releasing Sara.
I returned 45 minutes later with every breakfast meal from three different fast food spots. Walking through the wall I saw Sara had her clothes hanging to dry while Sin was dressed but not wearing the leather jacket she had on last night. Both looked at me as I came in with the bags.
"Not sure what you girls like so just find something, the rest I will give to the fish." I said pulling the water out or all Sara's clothes drying her instantly. I sat with my back to the cave wall as I looked to them.
"Sara are you still planning to remove my family Jewels?" She smirked.
"That seems like a waste now that I know you weren't an ass." I chuckled and felt a bit of a blush.
"Anyway, so what brought you here?" She sighed and began to get dressed.
"I had a rough day before I ended the Doll maker last night. I got panicked when all signs of her being at base were gone. I wanted you to help me find her after I heard that the Mayor's goons wanted to 'show that Sin bitch what a man looks like' so I came for help." I nodded and started eating.
"Sin, I didn't really ask last night, was that a one night thing or what? Unfortunately I didn't think with the correct head after you kissed me." The girls giggled as Sin smiled at me.
"I am not ready for a relationship with a vigilante, you willing to give it up and find a real job?" I gave her a look.
"Is that actually an option in this city?" She sighed before shaking her head.
"Not really, no." I nodded.
"Just remember if you ever need anything you can find me." She nodded as she rolled her eyes and Sara chuckled.
"So you want me to meet the Arrow here in two days at midnight?" I nodded with a chuckle.
"That a problem?" She nodded.
"Could be, I don't want him to know." I nodded.
"Then he won't, I will divide the cave with water." She nodded with a sigh.
"Deal." I looked to Sin with a smirk.
"Is it bad I was kind of hoping you would still be naked when I got back?" She blushed as Sara giggled.
"What, me in my underwear isn't enough?" Sara said with a smirk. I chuckled and looked to Sin.
"Not after last night." I gave her a wink before she blushed and Sara laughed.
"Good answer Neptune, good answer." I smiled.
"Percy, my name is Percy." She nodded and Sin smiled at me.
We talked for an hour or so before my phone interrupted us.
"Hello?"
"Percy, are you feeling ok? Diggle said you are mostly healed but I haven't heard from you." I rolled my eyes as the girls smirked and both threw wrappers at me making me smile.
"Yeah, sorry about that, I am completely healed. Just had some company is all." I heard her slight gasp as I chuckled.
"What, I am allowed to have friends you know." She stuttered a bit before talking.
"Yeah I know that, but the way you said that, are they at your place? Do they know about your powers?" I chuckled.
"Yes, they do. They are Sin, the girl from the incident and the Canary who came looking for her." She sighed in understanding before talking again.
"Is there any chance you could come by tonight? John wants to check you and make sure you healed properly." I laughed.
"I promise I am healed, but yes I could stop by."
"Great, at the moment we are at our day job, so there is no rush." I nodded.
"See you later Overwatch." She chuckled.
"Yeah John told me about that, I like it. See you later."
"Bye." I hung up as the two girls smirked at me. I shook my head.
"Laugh it up then." I said before they burst into laughter. Sara gained control faster before looking at me with a sad smile.
"At least you know you have people who except you for you and care." I nodded.
"You have the same, even if for now it is only little old me." I turned to Sin.
"You want to go for round four, or just head home?" Sara's eyes went wide as Sin blushed while glaring at me.
"Round four?" Sara asked as I chuckled.
"Jealous?" Sin shook her head and got out of the bed.
"Just home, and you can forget about a repeat if your going to be cocky." I frowned.
"Ok, fair enough. Sorry about the comment." She nodded, however the blush didn't leave as Sara got dressed with a smirk. I brought them both to the surface and dried them before walking away.
"See you girls around, I have some business to do."
"Like what?" Sin asked behind me curious. I smiled as I pulled out a handful of jewelry.
"Pawn shop, how did you think I got my money? I take it from the assholes and sell it to support my lifestyle." Sara smirked.
"You could make more from the guns you have down there." I shook my head.
"Not worth the gangs getting them." Sin smiled as Sara chuckled and I began to jog away, I was in a really good mood since I got kissed last night, I thought with a chuckle.
Time Skip
Once again, I was sitting in Oliver's HQ with my bow shooting it.
"So you have a bounty on your head from someone you never met before?" John asked me before I took another shot. I chuckled.
"Dude you have no idea how many shipments I have interrupted, most of them are just small fishing boats that are not supposed to be in the area." He nodded, conceding my point. Oliver hit my foot with the stick he decided to use again to teach me to shoot.
"Felicity, where are we on the manifest the world's worst archer brought in?" I rolled my eyes as John smiled.
"Hey, I am hitting the target most of the time now." He smirked.
"The target is almost the size of the entire wall." He went to hit my leg and with a thought I shifted the bow to a sword before cutting it in half. I smiled before shifting it back and drawing the string.
"I don't appreciate the comment." I said before hitting a few feet from the bull's eye with a smile. I looked to a smirking Oliver who took out a baton, extended it to a full size staff, and hit my foot.
"You turned your foot at the last moment." Everyone except Oliver burst into laughter myself included, his smirk was huge however. Felicity spoke to break the laughter.
"The name for the shipment ended up being fake, and there is no record anywhere of the name as a reference." Oliver nodded.
"So, what do I need to know for the meeting with your girlfriend?" He asked me as I shook my head.
"That she is hot and can't get over the age difference. I am starting to think I should pretend I am older. Seriously why is it a big deal when the girl is older but not when it's the guy." I said giving Felicity a look. She blushed before Oliver slapped my face with the stick.
"She is mine, back off Halfling." I smiled and laughed.
"Make sure you don't keep everything from her then, that always ends badly." He rolled his eyes as Felicity coughed, but was still beat red.
"Messing around, no, she doesn't want you to know her true identity so I am going to split the cave in half with water, beyond that ask whatever you want."
"You trust her to not turn against the city?" I chuckled as I drew the bow again.
"This city is shit; I don't trust you to not turn against it." I released the arrow and hit two feet from center. I smiled and drew again as Dig grunted.
"I hate to say it, but he has a point." Oliver sighed before tapping my foot slightly.
"Doesn't mean, that it is right." I shrugged.
"That is why you are trying to fix it." I replied. I hit within a foot of the bulls eye and fist bumped. The three of them laughed.
"Yes, that was not a terrible shot. Maybe in a few years you can go hunting for something the size of a cow." I frowned.
"Oliver, be nice. Not everyone can split arrows." I nodded to her.
"Thanks beautiful." Oliver swung his stick at me as I ducked before smacking hit torso with the limb of my bow causing a grunt. I laughed as I backed up. Diggle chuckled.
"Come on Oliver, I thought you always say to be ready for an attack." I laughed. He stood and took a deep breath.
"So, what is the plan on the Mayor?" I shrugged and went back to practice.
"Don't really care. There has been a price on my head all my life even if I didn't know it until I was 12." I replied. I took a deep breath thinking about my old life.
"A half-blood of the eldest Gods." I started before taking the shot not caring wear it went.
"Shall reach 16 against all odds." Thunk, I shot again.
"And see the world in endless sleep." I drew and fired without any pause.
"The Hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap." Thunk.
"A single choice shall end his days." Thunk, thunk, thunk.
"Olympus to preserve or raze." Thunk, thunk, thunk. Not thinking with my anger I turned the bow into a spear and put it into the bull's eye of the target and dropped to my knees.
"WHY CAN I NEVER CATCH A FUCKING BREAK!" I yelled before I felt some tears and rested my head against the ground letting the tears fall.
"I only spoke to my father a handful of time. My mother saw me go up to Olympus, then Kronos sent me here. I saved the world before I was removed from it." I felt a pressure on my back and I sobbed.
"Not only that, I was aged years in seconds. How long did I spend in that portal?"
"Percy, you're here now and we wont let anything happen to you." I heard from Felicity. I chuckled darkly.
"I have a divine weapon that works here and I am in twelve pieces at the moment. The fates use me like a plaything. I am just waiting for the other shoe to fall." I said standing and walking to take my spear out noticing that when I wasn't thinking my shot were not too bad. It switched back to my bow with a thought and I loaded it into my bag with everyone watching me, pity on their faces.
"Oliver I will see you tomorrow. If you want the grease paint to stay shoot an arrow in and I will bring you in without it coming off." I walked out of the lair into the club up top.
Thea found me almost an hour later.
"Well, well, well, I don't remember Ollie telling me you were of age. How did you get into the club?" I smiled at her.
"Sorry beautiful, trade secret. I had a rough day and needed some drinks." She rolled her eyes, and gestured over my shoulder. The jealous guy from before came over.
"I have no doubt your day was rough, but I can't have an underage person in my club." She said before turning to him.
"Roy, can you make sure he get home safe? He is too young to be in here." He nodded and put a hand on my shoulder as I rolled my eyes. I downed the rest of my whiskey in a few gulps and raised my hand to the bartender.
"Sexy, can I get my tab?" The blond looked over before nodding and going back to the register. Thea sighed.
"Percy, I am sure your tab isn't that much, just go I will take care of it." I chuckled with a smile.
"Hey Boss, uh sir your total comes to 152.12" Thea went wide eyed as I frowned.
"Thought it was more, ok, whatever." I put three hundred down and winked at the girl.
"Keep the change Sexy." I stood and shouldered my bag before heading out with Roy staying next to me.
We managed to get ten blocks from the docks in silence before there was screaming. I frowned.
"I was enjoying being drunk too." I said as mist swarmed me and Roy jumped back. The water instantly sobered me while my mask was applied and I turned to him.
"Any talking about his and I will cause you problems." I took out my bow and switched it to a sword running for the scream. What I found was a couple men fighting to get a girl into a white van. Running closer I jumped and kicked the first in the head, making him hit the other the girl fell to the ground as the van took off. My sword switched to a bow as I spun around shooting at the van. To my surprise the arrow went through the window before the van crashed into a building. I turned to the two men who stumbled up as water wrapped around their necks. I stalked forward and glared.
"Not only are you two scum, you are stupid enough to be anywhere near the docks when you kidnap her." I heard a sob before a voice rang out behind me.
"Neptune, thank you." I turned to the woman and nodded. A twist of my hand and the two men were unconscious. I held out a hand to help her up and suddenly I felt an impact to my stomach. I gasped in shock as I dropped the bow to the ground. The last thing I saw was the girl stand with a syringe in her hand.

Third person POV
The Arrow and Roy swam through the magic water wall under the docks, surprising The Canary and Sin who wore matching shocked expressions. Roy fell to the ground inside the cave as the Arrow sighed and removed a small bow from his pack and threw it onto the bed. Canary growled.
"He said you were a friend, why did you take his bow?" Instantly a staff was in her hand, however shaking showed her hesitation to strike.
"He was kidnapped last night as he attempted to save a woman from being kidnapped. It was a setup. Roy who finally stood and looked around wide-eyed nodded.
"I saw it all. I had been escorting him because he was drunk." Sin went and sat on the bed, tears beginning to form in her eyes. Canary shrunk her staff and stored it.
"The Mayor?" She asked as Arrow shook his head.
"We don't think so, he had a hit out, not a kidnap order." She walked over and sat next to Sin putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Roy, take sin up. We will be up shortly." He nodded as he offered a hand to Sin who sighed but consented. Arrow held out a hand.
"Hold up." He walked over to the arsenal and pulled up a desert Eagle before filling the magazine and handing it to Roy.
"I will take this back tomorrow before you go to work. Keep her safe." He nodded as he took the gun and chambered a round. The two young adults took deep breaths before jumping into the water. Canary sighed.
"We need to help him if we can Ollie. We have to." The Arrow was shocked and took back his hood.
"How?" He said before Sara pulled her mask, wig off, and looked to him.
"We need to help him, Sin is very taken with him."
"Sara, Your, Alive?" She smiled.
"Yes, and we need to keep Percy that way."

Return to Percy POV
I blinked myself awake, immediately noticing I was tied to a chair.
"How do you know Oliver Queen, Neptune?" A gravelly voice asked me. I turned to see a man with an eye-patch. I frowned as I tried to feel for water anywhere, and failed.
"How do you know Oliver Queen? Seems polite to explain yourself first." The man laughed before punching my kneecap with a resounding crack as I screamed in pain.
"That is for me to know, not you. Now how do you know Oliver Queen?" I took several breaths before placing my other leg to the floor.
"Fuck you." I said before channeling earthquake energy into the ground as he stumbled for a moment before I came down on that leg making me scream again. He brushed some dust from the ceiling off of his jacket.
"Take a blood sample, I want to know if I can get his powers." He said to the left as I tried to overcome the pain. I shook my head realizing I cannot let this guy gain any power if it was even possible. A man in a mask came over with a syringe and held my arm down. I felt the blood as soon as it entered the syringe. I smirked and took control of the water in the blood. The syringe exploded as I made a buzz saw with it and shot it at the eye patch guys neck. He blocked with his arm as it cut a bit dispersing my blood before his arm healed before my eyes. He frowned.
"Never mind then, lets not give him any ammo. No water or juicy foods for a week. I will see him then." He then left the room with the mask guy. I sighed knowing this would not be good.
Time Skip
I had been not allowed water for over a month by this point. Well, I think it was a month due to Slade as I eventually learned his name was came to visit 6 times. My blood felt like syrup going through my veins and I felt my body eating my muscles in between visits from brother blood, Mask guy, witch I think were a few times a day. Slade had just finished with me for the 6th time when he smirked.
"Blood, I don't think we will be getting anything out of him. I think he deserves a reward for his loyalty." He held out a hand. "Give me the serum." A small container of powder was put into his hand, before he knelt down by my chair.
"Whenever we try to take your blood you use it against us. Usually we would inject this into your blood, however I had this sample of the Mirikuru turned to powder. So far we have had 239 people die painfully to this. Congratulations, you will find your release." He pulled on my jaw painfully dislocating it as I whimpered before he dumped the power into my mouth. He then stood up and turned to mask guy as the power slowly was absorbed by my body.
"Put him outside the little Queens club. After all, it is only right to return him." I suddenly felt it, my body was on fire as I started to scream. The last thing I heard before I blacked out was Slade laughing.
3rd person POV
Roy was in the near the bar, preparing for the club to open when he heard Thea scream. He was running instantly but nothing could have prepared him for what he found. On the ground in front of the club was Percy with his limbs in all different directions and a trickle of blood from his eyes. He turned to his girlfriend/boss.
"I know this is going to sound weird but I need the biggest tub we have filled with water and I need you to call Sin." She shook her head.
"Roy, we need to call the police, the hospital something." He grabbed her face in his hands and took a deep breath.
"Thea, he is not human. When I brought him home the day he was kidnapped I saw him control water. Sin said he is a Demigod and water heals him. Please trust me." She took a few breaths and nodded as she ran into the club. Roy took a deep breath and lifted the man he failed all that time ago in his arms frowning at how light he felt.
Not even a minute later they were in the storeroom with the tub of water filling as fast as he could manage while Thea talked with Sin on the phone. When the water went over his head Thea went wide-eyed.
"Roy, he is going to drown!" Roy shook his head.
"Not possible for him." He replied sullenly. "Besides he had no heartbeat, he was already dead." He almost whispered, but Thea still heard it. She dropped to her knees as Roy shut off the water over Percy's head and sat next to her.
Thirty minutes later the Arrow, Canary, and Sin showed up scaring Thea and Roy who had been staring at the tub of water the entire time. Sin walked over with tears in her eyes before taking his hand for a moment. The two fighters looked to each other before Arrow took out an arrow from his quiver that seemed to spark like a tazer. He jabbed it into the water ad Canary pulled Sin away as everyone watched with wide eyes the electricity cackle throughout the water. Suddenly the water shot out of the tub as Percy stood with eyes glowing blue and the water orbiting him like his own personal hurricane. There were loud cracks as his limbs realigned before his body filled out with muscle. When his eyes stopped glowing he fell to the ground unconscious. Canary kept a hold of Sin who was now trying to run to the downed man as the arrow walked over and felt his neck.
"He is alive, Canary, we need to get him somewhere we can monitor him while keeping him under water. Neptune lives again." He picked up the man putting him over his shoulder. He turned to Roy and Thea who were both wide eyed.
"Roy Harper, Thea Queen, you have saved this city." He said before walking away quickly. Canary turned and pushed Sin to the two of them.
"I will tell him to let you know once he is ok again." She said softly before following the Arrow and quickly disappearing in the darkness.
Percy POV
Opening my eyes I saw that I was in water and sighed in contentment. I looked away from the wall and found I was in a giant fish tank in the Arrow cave. Swimming to the other side I spotted Sara sleeping on a cot next to the tank. I frowned. Swimming to the top, I took a deep breath and pulled myself out and over. Dropping to the ground Sara jumped up from the cot, drawing a staff.
"Percy!" She yelled before embracing me in a hug. I hugged back with a sigh.
"Hey Sara. You have no idea how glad I am to see you. Sorry I missed the meeting with Oliver." She chuckled against me before pulling back.
"Only you can be kidnapped for weeks and apologize when you get back." I heard from behind me. Turning I spotted Felicity approaching before she hugged me. I returned it before I sat down on the now empty cot.
"I took a deep breath. Do you guys have any idea What Mirakuru is?" Sara went wide-eyed before pulling out her phone and walking away. I shook my head and looked to a frowning Felicity.
"Any chance I can get some food? I am starving." She smiled and nodded.
"I will text Dig." I nodded and laid on the cot.
"How long was I gone?" I asked as I shut my eyes.
"Over two months. What happened?" I sighed.
"A man named Slade Wilson wanted my blood and what I knew about Oliver. Him and a man called brother blood tried to get information." She sighed and took my hand.
"Is that why Ollie and Sara put you in new clothes before they called me?" I looked to the blond with a frown.
"Yes, that would explain it." I said thinking about the torture. They never took blood because I would use it against them, but the used blunt force and fire liberally. Sara came back over.
"Oliver is on his way, how do you feel?" I smiled.
"Apart from confused I feel amazing." She nodded.
"When a human takes the drug, unless it kills them, they become almost indestructible and have super strength, at the cost of the anger control." I frowned.
"That would explain the Slade dude shattering my kneecaps day one." Felicity gasped making me sigh.
"Thank you for not having her panic with my new scars." She nodded.
"You need to talk to Sin when you get the chance." I frowned.
"Yeah, she isn't going to want to see me without a shirt anymore." Sara frowned.
"You don't know that, you had scars before." I laughed and met her eyes.
"Not like this." Felicity took my hand.
"Oliver has scars, he is still attractive." I chuckled.
"Scars, not brands, they used fire and blunt force to try for information. Whenever any blood came out I used the water in it to attack them." I sighed as I stood and looked to the tank.
"I haven't had any water since I was taken. I am going back in. Sara can you call Sin and let me use your phone?" She nodded with pity in her eyes. Handing me the ringing phone I jumped and pulled myself into the water.
"Sara, is Percy alright?" I chuckled at the way she answered.
"Yeah I am alright, Sin. Thank you for caring." I heard her gasp before a soft thud.
"Percy, what happened? Roy said you were kidnapped after revealing yourself to him, then when he and Thea found you, you were dead." I frowned filing that they found me away for later.
"Sin, let's just say that they wanted information on the Arrow that I wouldn't give them. They got creative in how they tried to get the information." She sighed.
"Percy, where are you, I want to see you." I frowned knowing she could not come here.
"I am in a secret headquarters with Canary and Arrow for healing. How about tomorrow I meet you at Big Belly burger for noon. I just need to stop and get some money from home." She chuckled.
"Actually, I have some money at the moment. There was a gun buy in weeks ago. I might have gone with Roy and turned in a lot of your arsenal. I only took twenty dollars a gun when they offered almost a hundred." I laughed.
"So they are with the cops now, right?" She chuckled.
"Yes, they are." I nodded.
"Ok, then I guess it's your treat with my money." I said before laughing as she did the same.
"Percy, I want a relationship." I blinked a few times.
"I don't think you do, just because I am out of their hold doesn't mean I go back to the way I was."
"I don't care, nobody has ever thought about me after sex. Usually it is pound it then roll over and if I am there when they wake up they ask why. You actually cared and said you wanted to see me again." I frowned.
"You deserve better than me." She stopped me.
"I will decide that, see you tomorrow at the big Belly Burger by the docks." She hung up as I shook my head. Breaching the surface I tossed Sara the phone.
"She is almost as stubborn as Oliver." I said causing her to laugh as I floated down to the bottom and laid on my back.
An hour later I watched through the distortion of the glass while Diggle and Oliver came down the stairs with food. I launched myself out of the tank and walked across the liar. Oliver and Dig both dropped their bags and embraced me in a hug as I laughed.
"So good to see you guys. How have you been?" They laughed before Oliver took out a knife and slashed my arm. I jumped back as the knife bounced off my skin. I frowned.
"Ok, that's new, we will talk about warning later. Where is my bow?" He frowned and walked to the corner where it was hanging. I nodded and held out my hand.
"Shoot my hand." He drew and fired in under a second as I felt immense pain in my hand confirming the arrow shot from the bow did break the skin. The surprising part was when golden ichor leaked from my hand. I sat in a nearby chair and shook my head in shock.
"I am now immortal." I said in a whisper. Pulling the arrow out, I summoned water from the tank as it healed me instantly. With a pop three old ladies appeared as everyone pointed a weapon at them.
"We don't have much time in this dimension. The Mirakuru should have killed you as it burns away DNA. When your archer friend kick started your heart, your ichor destroyed the virus. You are the first god in this dimension since ancient times. You will find your control of your powers increased along with you will gain the ability to teleport and enchant simple objects through rituals. Beware Percy Jackson, few ever become immortal without us making it so." They disappeared with another pop leaving behind a book. Oliver looked at me with a frown.
"I didn't get most of that cause they talked at the same time." I nodded knowing that they were speaking Ancient Greek.
"The Mirakuru should have killed me because it burns away DNA. I only had half DNA because gods don't have it. When you kick started my heart, whatever they mean by that, it helped my ichor keep me alive." I bent down and picked up the book before laughing at the title. Felicity stepped close.
"What is it?" I smiled.
"A book, the complete idiots guide to being a god." She chuckled.
"So are we not going to talk about the three women who randomly appeared and spoke a different language?" I looked at her with a smile.
"They are the fates, and they told me that I am now a true divine being. That is why Oliver's knife did nothing to me but an arrow fired from a divine weapon did. Mortal weapons can't harm me anymore." She fainted on the spot before Sara caught her with a smile.
"Your girlfriend seems to be in shock Oliver." Oliver frowned and nodded. I sighed and opened the book. Chapter one teleporting. Picture where you want to be and release your power allowing it to bring you there, only with a desire to show you power will you risk killing mortals.
I smiled and looked to the tank in the back. Taking a breath I pictured myself inside the tank and release what pressure from my body. Instantly I was over the tank falling into it as I laughed. Jumping over the lip I looked to the wide eyes of my friends.
"That will take some getting used to." I said with a laugh as they looked to me. Oliver raised an eyebrow.
"So you just became even more powerful with no side effects?" I frowned.
"Apart from the fact I get to watch everyone in the world die, yes." He looked down with a nod.
"I never wanted to be immortal, the idea of watching friends and family die does not appeal to me." Everyone looked down as I frowned.
"Enough with the faces, time for food, what did you bring." We all sat down to start eating as I was caught up on everything. From the Mayor interrupting the gun buy and shooting Sin, which pissed me off, to Oliver's mother getting released and Detective Lance knowing about Sara. I shook my head. At the information.
"Isabel really claimed that you tried to have a free vacation with your girlfriend before trying to sleep with you. Did you tell Felicity?" He nodded with a sigh.
"Well, I will see everyone tomorrow night. I am going to head home and go to bed." Everyone nodded in understanding.
"Sara, we are going to take care of your league problems soon. If I am going to be a god then I should at least get some benefit. I teleported to my undersea cave with a stumble, I shook my head figuring I would need to get used to that before I go see the league of assassins.
Time Skip
I was waiting at Big Belly Burger as I sipped a soda waiting for Sin. I was now on chapter 14 and I realized that I am not bound by ancient laws because I am the only god here. When someone calls your chosen name and pictures your face, a pray link will form. During this prayer link, you can respond or ignore it if you chose. You will also gain the ability to know exactly where they are as they pray. This can be useful…
"Percy!" I heard interrupting me from the book as Sin grabbed me around the neck causing me to laugh and hug her back. She had watery eyes.
"I saw you dead." I sighed and hugged her tighter.
"Not anymore beautiful, not anymore." She sat across from me as our food was brought out and placed in front of us. I looked to the waiter and nodded.
"Thank you." He nodded and left. I looked to a smiling Sin.
"You were shot, how is the recovery?" I asked having past the healing section in the book last night. She froze.
"Who told you?" I gave her a look.
"A birdie told me." She rolled her eyes.
"I am fine, the stitches come out next week." I nodded before putting a hand over her stomach and channeling healing power into it. She gasped before lifting her shirt and seeing only a small scar, since I had removed the stitches as well.
"How did you?" she started before I chuckled.
"I am no longer human. What they did, it took away my human half, I am now full divine." She was taken aback for a moment.
"Not human?" I nodded taking another bite.
"Full god. Mortal weapons can no longer hurt me." I said drawing a small pocketknife and running it across my arm with it having no effect. I then used it to cut some meat showing it was indeed sharp. She shook her head and drank some soda.
"What does that mean in terms of us?" I laughed.
"Means any kids I have will die from old age as I watch on. Means that when you are 100 and old I will look like this, means you have some thinking to do. Can you date someone who will never age?" She frowned and looked at the table. I chuckled.
"Relax, you have all the time in the world to decide, for now we need to catch up. What have you been doing?" She smiled.
"I might have been staying at your place a couple times a week." I chuckled.
"So that is why I smelled something different last night." She blushed as I chuckled.
"What did you do for food? I still haven't figured that out yet." She smiled.
"I used a cooler, and a wet bag." I laughed and nodded.
"I should have thought of that." She smiled.
"So what is the book?" I smiled.
"Idiot's guide to Immortality. So I was told Thea and Roy found me, How did that go?" She sighed.
"Thea didn't know you were missing. After Arrow took you Roy explained what happened. She was upset about him helping the Arrow, but happy he wasn't putting himself in danger." I nodded as I finished my food.
"Yeah I woke up in a giant fish tank so that was interesting." She chuckled.
"Wanna head home. I think I might be able to get you a key of sorts for my place." She gave me a look.
"Your place has no need of a lock." I chuckled.
"You'll see." I stood bringing her with me after leaving some money on the table.
Stepping out the door I teleported us to my place as she stumbled with wide eyes.
"What the fuck was that?" She asked as I chuckled.
"Teleportation, I told you I am a god now." She nodded with her eyes shut and slowly sat on the bed.
"What is the key thing you were talking about?" She asked with shock still in her voice. I smiled and took a coin necklace from the stash I kept of trinkets.
"If I followed the book right, this item is enchanted. Simply put it into your mouth and you should be able to breathe underwater. Holding it and thinking of me should allow a conversation." She gave me a look.
"This thing looks like a penny?" I smiled.
"That way you don't get robbed for it." She rolled her eyes. I suddenly felt a connection form.
'You are a dumbass, Percy." I chuckled and gave her a look.
'You say that but you are the one insulting a God.' I sent back over the connection as she went wide eyed again causing me to burst into laughter. After a moment we were smiling at each other as she looked at the coin and put the strap over her head.
"So I can really breath underwater?" I shrugged.
"If I did it right. The prayer thing is easy to have." She nodded and stepped over to the water wall. She put the coin in her mouth without taking off the strap and looked at me. she breathed out and jumped into the water as I saw and felt her gasp for breathe. The smile on her face made me laugh as she looked around before walking into the cave. She spit out the coin before tackling me to the bed.
"You are amazing. Thank you so much." We began to make out as I turned us around on the bed so she was under me.
"You really want to do this now? We can talk if you want. Sex isn't everything in a relationship." She smirked and bit her bottom lip.
"No it isn't." She said before pulling me down to her as I chuckled.
Time Skip
I woke up the next morning with a smile, till I turned over. There was no longer a beautiful woman in my bed, instead there was a note with some water spots on it.
Percy,
I wish I could be with you, you are an amazing guy and I have no idea why, but I just can't. I never thought about it, but I do want children, and a family. Last night I had a dream where I was old watching my great grandchildren with you looking like you do, on the floor playing with them. It was a wonderful dream but I don't think I could handle the looks if we went out as a couple like that. I am sorry Percy, please don't hate me.
Love, Sin
I felt my anger boiling up as I tried to calm myself. I could not blame her after all. I looked to the arsenal and frowned.
"If I am a God then there is no limit as to what I can do." I said as I decided to try more of that damn enchanting to take my mind off of it.
That night I was walking down the road trying to clear my head. I chuckled at the dreary weather. If fit the mood of the storm bringer. I walked into the club without the bouncer saying a thing. I walked through the crowd and right up the stairs to the offices. Knocking I chuckled as I heard stuff fall behind the door. It quickly opened revealing Roy who went wide eyed.
"Percy?" He asked as I smiled.
"Hey man, I heard I have you and Thea to thank for my life." The door opened wider before a disheveled Thea appeared and grabbed me in a hug.
"Percy, I saw you dead, I can't believe… Come in." I nodded and stepped into the office. I smiled at her as she started.
"Are you ok? You looked terrible when I found you, and then you looked like a mutant. Percy, what happened?" I smiled at her.
"I am not human. I am a divine being. What you saw was an attempt on my life because I decided to help the Arrow." She turned to Roy with a Glare as I chuckled.
"The difference between me and Roy is I actively went out with him and took down bad guys." She nodded and stopped glaring at him. I sighed.
"When they killed me I lost the human side of me, I am now a true god." They both went wide eyed. I smiled.
"No more demigod status for me." They blinked at me.
"I have something for each of you as a thank you." I pulled out two pendants. I gave the first to Thea who smiled at the small golden fish.
"Put that around your neck, if you pull and break the string it will cover you in scales that will stop most bullets and blades. Wearing it and thinking about me will allow you to call me." She took it with shaking hands before she put it on. Pulling it she gasped as the scales formed over her body and she dropped the pendant, which canceled the scales and turned back into a intact necklace. I picked it up and put it back in her hand.
"Did the scales hurt?" She shook her head and looked to me with an open mouth.
"No, it just scared me." I nodded and turned to a scared looking Roy. I held out another necklace, this one with a seashell. I smirked.
"Communication is the same, however I didn't want to tempt you and have Thea loose a stupid boyfriend. Put the necklace in water and the water will heal any injury inside of it. Well, within reason, you cant cure the world by going into the ocean." I said with a chuckle as Thea and him smiled. Thea hugged me tightly. I chuckled and nodded to Roy who had a smile on his face. I stood up and frowned to them. I took out a bracelet.
"Can you give this to Sin for me? She decided we cannot be together. I don't want to upset her." Thea took the bracelet with a smile.
"I will make sure she gets it, what does it do?" I smiled.
"Her not knowing is the punishment for how she left me. I will see you two later." I left the office before walking to the back of the club and going to the basement.
I saw Oliver sparing with Sara using escrima sticks and laughed. I walked over to an empty quiver, pulled three arrows from his extra rack, and got to work as Felicity and Dig stopped watching the show and looked to me. It only took a few minutes before the four items glowed blue before fading back to their original colors. Felicity sat down with a smile.
"What just happened?" I chuckled before hearing a loud noise as Oliver stumbled, clearly being hit with the stick Sara had. They began to walk over before Sara hugged me.
"I am sorry, Sin told me what happened." I nodded.
"Not the time, anyway Oliver shoot this quiver till you run out of Arrows." He shrugged before taking his bow and doing as I said. However a second after the arrows stopped moving they would disappear and reform in the quiver. Oliver began to laugh and try to run out as hard as he could, shooting faster and faster till he stopped. He bowed in front of me with a smirk.
"Thank you My lord, how may I serve you." I laughed along with everyone else.
"Don't do that shit with me." I held out a pair of gloves for Diggle. They were made of Metal but weighed almost nothing. He looked at me shocked at the weight.
"I made everyone something before I do some soul searching. Those gloves have a few kinds of guns inside of them. They are from my arsenal. The bullets are enchanted like Oliver's Arrows with the difference being they knock out the opponent and never kill. Simply put on the gloves and hold out your hands like you are holding the gun. You have a bolt action .50 caliber with a scope, Mp5, 20 gage, 10gage, and two barrettas. Oliver's Arrows, your bullets and Sin's enchantment are effectively the only objects that can cause damage to me unless a relic is found. If I go crazy, I trust you to take me down." He nodded and held out a hand.
"Thank you for the trust." I shook his hand before meeting Oliver's eyes and nodding. I held out a bracelet for Felicity. She smiled.
"Thank you Percy, it is beautiful." I smiled.
"And functional." I spun a fist towards her making her eyes widen and he hold up her hands in defense. My fist got within six inches before it shot backwards with ten times the force. I chuckled as I shook my hand out.
"Think of the curse of Cain in a removable item. Add your blood to it and nobody else can use it." She opened and shut her mouth a few times before nodding. I handed Sara a ring making her smirk.
"Before the first date?" I shook my head as everyone chuckled.
"If you insist on staying a ghost, that will help you stay alive." I smirked.
"You will get squirt in the mouth whenever you suck on it." There were snickers as she nodded to me in acceptance. She put it into her mouth to test it and smiled.
"Cold water, nice. Thank you Percy." I nodded as she put it on her finger.
"Food is harder, but I figure water is more important." She nodded.
"I agree." I sighed.
"So, I was thinking tomorrow we could head for Nanda Parbat. I plan to make them realize a god trumps assassin." She went wide eyed and shook her head.
"No, I am not going back. I already have a place I plan to go." I sighed.
"Ok, just remember my offer." I stood and took a breath.
"I am going to go to Olympus. The fates said there were gods in this dimension years ago. I plan to investigate. If I am immortal, I need more information." Oliver put a hand on my shoulder.
"You are not alone. We may die eventually, but not today." I smiled at him and nodded.
"I know, but when I ask Sin if she could hand me being immortal, she decided against it. Maybe I can at least find a way to make another immortal." He sighed but nodded.
"How will you get there?" I smiled.
"Walk, it will give me time to clear my head. I have my phone with me and I can keep it charged." He nodded while Sara hugged me with Felicity. I shook Diggle's hand and sighed.
"Call me if you need anything." I stood and began to walk out of the lair.
Time Skip
Olympus was a mess. On the top of the mountain I found a portal leading to the ruins of the Greek pantheon of gods. Looking through the temples and homes I found ruins and the occasional broken weapons. If I was being honest with myself it was reminding me a lot of what Kronos had done to my home world. This is where I had been for a long time. Suddenly I heard a prayer.
"Percy, my friend was killed. Roy told the Arrow about it before he got shot, can you help?" I took a breath.
"Sin, it is good to hear from you. How is Roy?"
"He is good. We got him to Thea's house before pulling the arrow and having him take a bath. Your charm worked." I smiled remembering the trinket I gave him.
"What did you want me to do?" She took a breath.
"He was bleeding from his eyes. It reminded me of you when Roy and Thea found you. I want your help bring the creeps to justice."
"Sin, I am willing to help, however you need to remember those guys are crazy. I literally died before I became a god. That serum is no joke. You three need to stay away from them. I don't want you guys to die." I could tell through the link she was pissed.
"If you expect me to stop trying to avenge my friend then you have let your power go to your head." With that I felt her cut the connection. With a sigh I concentrated on the lair and disappeared from Olympus.
Immediately the smell of rat poison hit my nose.
"Who the hell are you?" A boy yelled from behind me. I turned with a look.
"This is a secret lair of a vigilante, who are you, is the better question." I felt a hug as I chuckled.
"Percy, I am so glad your back. How did it go?" I sighed.
"I found the ruins of mount Olympus, but it was not something I enjoyed." She nodded.
"Barry, this is the person who used to keep control the docks. Percy, AKA Neptune." I nodded to him.
"Pleasure, so what the hell happened that caused the Arrow to shoot Roy." I asked looking to Felicity. She sighed
"How did you know about that?" I chuckled.
"I am a god." She rolled her eyes.
"Your impossible." I heard from the computer and Barry. I looked to him.
"Get used to it kid. Many things are impossible." I felt something on the kid.
"You have seen the impossible haven't you? Your marked by it, it feels like lightning." His eyes went wide as he opened and shut his mouth a few times. I nodded in confirmation. I turned to Felicity.
"Tell the Arrow he needs to use his words instead of his Arrows. I am going to visit Roy." I disappeared as lightning dude looked on.
I sat in Thea and Roy's office for a few hours before they walked in and turned on the light. I smiled as they didn't notice me.
"You look pretty good for someone who was shot." I said making them both jump before catching the dart Roy threw at me in front of my chest.
"Percy, your back." Thea said before hugging me. I nodded as I tossed the dart back to Roy and hugged her back.
"You two need to convince Sin to stop investigating her friend's death." They both looked at each other than me.
"The police say it is an overdoes, but it looks like when we found you." I nodded.
"I have been informed. I will work on finding the ones behind it, but I don't want you three to die. Sin thought I was telling her to drop it. I just wanted her to be safe." Thea nodded in understanding as Roy frowned.
"Kind of sounds like the same thing." I narrowed my eyes at him.
"If Thea was investigating a murderer would you rather her use a computer and leave the physical aspect to you or for her go try to talk to him and find out why." He opened his mouth before shutting it as Thea squeezed his hand.
"Any info you guys have feel free to talk about it and such. I will be investigating the dangerous aspects." He nodded with a sigh.
"Ok I understand." I rolled my eyes.
"Somehow I doubt that. Never the less I will keep you updated." I stood and smiled at them.
"Sorry for scaring you guys, glad you not limping Roy." I disappeared with an audible pop and a laugh.
I reappeared at the alley I had been kidnapped in and stated to look around. The question was, did they think I would be around here or did they plan it near a base. It took almost three hours before I found a clue. I found a drop of a semisolid liquid in the sewer nearby and smiled. Lifting it with my powers I teleported back to the arrow cave.
"How do you do that?" I heard loudly from my right as I sighed.
"Barry your still here? Why?" I asked while glaring at him. He took a breath.
"He is running tests to trace those who turned you into a god. Turns out he is a CSI." I turned with a smile to Oliver.
"Good to see you, put any arrows in people who didn't need it lately?" I asked as we shook hands. He sighed.
"I used a normal one at least." I rolled my eyes.
"Excuses, run this test and I will not bitch about it." I said holding up the liquid. He nodded knowing I wasn't actually mad.
"Barry, please analyze this." I nodded and turned floating it over to a wide eyed Barry. He nodded before putting it in a vial before I dropped to my knees in pain. I held my head as information flooded it. Finally it got so bad I blacked out.
