A/N: And I'm back with this week's chapter! I was so glad to see all the support, although a few more reviews wouldn't hurt...(hint hint). Anyways, thank you so much to everyone, especially to BarryManiHigh, who pointed out I had not said when in season three this would be taking place. To answer that question, it will be shortly after episode fourteen, so Barry and Iris are engaged (for the first time, anyways) and all that jazz. And later...well, later I have some...ideas. Mwah ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, I'm truly back now.

BarryManiHigh: Oh, trust me, the confusion is coming! And thank you for pinting out my little oversight. :)

Paws Whovian: No promises, but I have plans... Oh boy, do I have plans! Mwah ha ha ha ha ha ha! :)

IcyFox17: YAAAAAAAAAAAY! I'm so glad to be back, and glad that you did find this. I totally get that you didn't see it earlier; I didn't exactly give out a definite release date for this story. Hopefully, you will better understand how the cats will take voer the world in this chapter. And oooooh, Ship of the Dead! I own it, but I haven't quite finished it yet. I should get on that. But yeah, I was so mad that PErcy wasn't in the whole thing. I mean, COME ON RICK! PERCY IS DEFINITELY THE BEST CHOICE FOR ANYTHING REMOTELY RELATED TO THE SEA! And yes, I did read your review for Into a Cat. I read all your reviews, and each one makes me smile. I'm glad I could introduce you to Studio C. :) And yeah, the Carlos Valdez/Leo thing is really kinda creepy... I've been doing pretty good lately. High school isn't as bad as I thought it would be, and I even went to homecoming last night, which was actually really cool. Thanks for asking and enjoy! :)

Nick Write: Not totally sure what to say to that, so... Enjoy! :)

the Bass Beast: Heh heh. You know, when I was first writing this, I was trying to figure out what the Hades was going on. Actually, I still am. :)

Also, one more thing before I let you go. I am a bit (read: a lot) of a competitive person. I'm also very proud of "Where's the Starbucks?". So, when you are on FanFiction, there is a magical button that you can push to change the filtering options. Being the competitive person that I am, I would like "Where's the Starbucks?" to have the most favorites, the most follows, and the most reviews. It's already there for follows and reviews, but not for favorites. So if you haven't already done so, could you please just drop by and do that? That's be completely amazing of you.

READ AND REVIEW!

I woke up one morning after Barry told me Zoom was loose again and found Annabeth on her phone, which was weird. Even though she had one, thanks to Cisco, she never used it, unless it was for academic purposes or something. For all Cisco's mechanical genius, he couldn't make the phones monster-proof. Not that we blamed him. No one else had been able to either.

I peered over Annabeth's shoulder and did my best to read the screen. "Whatcha lookin' at?"

She glanced at me out of the corner of her eyes without moving her head before shifting over slightly so that I couldn't see anymore. "Nothing."

"Hang on, the records looked like they said 'STAR Labs' at the top. Does this have something to do with you hacking them while we were over there?"

"No."

I might have believed her, except that when Annabeth's lying, she keeps her answers to one or two words. When she's telling the truth, she'll always elaborate. "Wise Girl, did you hack them again?"

There was a pause. "Maybe."

"You did," I confirmed. "Why would you do that?"

"Because I'm curious," she said in a pleading tone of voice, "and so are most of the campers, especially my siblings and the Hephaestus cabin. They want to know how the particle accelerator exploded, why it affected people the way it did, and all that. I'm trying to learn as much as I can."

I rubbed the bridge of my nose. "This is what the Hephaestus cabin has been working on?"

Annabeth nodded. "They've almost found a way to travel to an alternate universe. Also, they're thinking of making a model of Central City and trying to see how the blast spread."

"How are they going to imitate the weird stuff that came from it? They're not actually going to re-create a particle accelerator a blow it up, right? Because this is why we still haven't told them about the particle accelerator that's nearby."

"No," Annabeth reassured me. "They're thinking of using Greek fire or something. Don't worry about it; what could go wrong?"

"You don't even need to ask," I replied. "It's us. Trust me, something will go wrong."

"At first I didn't do anything," I explained to Team Flash. "I kind of supervised the project, gave them information when they needed it, made sure they didn't blow up the camp."

Iris frowned. "You said they almost figured out how to travel to an alternate universe. Did you get here because they figured out how to do it?"

"Um...no. Definitely not. I mean, if I had that kind of technology, don't you think I would tell you?" I said nervously. Barry raised an eyebrow and I sighed, pulling the small Celestial bronze device out of my pocket. As I tossed it to Cisco for him to examine, I continued, "Yeah, they perfected it about a week ago. We thought it would be nice to have. If a monster chases you, you just run into another universe and then come back out again. Ever since then, we've been mass producing those. Well, as fast as we can, anyways. It's really hard to make factory-style stuff when the only robots you can use are temperamental magical beings who would rather kill you than work for you."

"How does it work?" Cisco asked excitedly, totally ignoring the last bit.

"I honestly have no idea," I admitted.

"That's why you asked Iris and I whether or not we knew who you were," Barry realized. "You thought you might've ended up on the wrong earth."

"Yeah," I admitted. "I mean, I was pretty sure I put 'one' into the controls, but it's been a little temperamental ever since that dracena whacked it."

"You wouldn't happen to have any...other new technology, would you?" Julian questioned.

I sighed and pulled a package of Celestial bronze darts out of my pocket. Barry took them from my hand and began examining them. "Careful!" I warned. "Those are...uh, speed-dampening darts." Barry raised his eyebrows and I gave him one of those fake smiles like, Please don't kill me. "You indirectly told me that Zoom was gonna come kill me," I defended. "I thought we should be prepared. They're made of Celestial bronze, so they fly faster, but are tipped with steel, just in case. The actual speed-dampening part comes from Khione. We tracked down a few of her kids and used their blood to make the serum."

"Anything else?" Caitlin asked sarcastically.

"Nah. I was pushing for meta-cuffs, just in case-"

"How do you guys have the resources and time for all this?" Joe asked.

"Well, we're always finding all kinds of crazy stuff in the woods, and on occasion the Romans hook us up with stuff like unicorn horn, so we're pretty much set. Also, about the time? You have no idea how bored the Athena cabin can get. They're just glad to have something to do."

"So what happened next?" Barry asked, cutting me off. "And what does it have to do with cats taking over the world?"

"Well, there's this kid named Harley who may have accidentally, ah...caused some problems."


I surveyed the model of Central City the Hephaestus cabin had built. "Looks great," I complemented. "What's next?"

Leo glanced at me excitedly. "Now we blow up the model particle accelerator. It's not actually a miniature particle accelerator, just a building that mimics the structure. We're hoping the Greek fire will spread similarly to the dark matter that was released."

"What's the remote control for?"

Leo turned to look at Harley, who was holding a little remote with a big red button. "I think he just wants to feel like he's in control of the explosion."

Suddenly, someone shouted "HEADS!"

We all dropped to the ground. When someone at Camp Half-Blood yells heads, you don't ask questions. You just fall.

Sure enough, half a second later, a spell from the Hecate cabin whizzed over us and hit a bush. In another half a second, that bush had become a giant patch of bushes.

"Sorry!" Lou Ellen called. "Replicating spell. Wouldn't want two of you walking around, right?"

"Thanks!" I yelled back. I had already gotten enough of having a double back on Earth-1. Then I turned my attention to Leo again. "Let's do it." Harley hit the big red button.

The miniature model of the particle accelerator hummed and vibrated slightly before the green flames of Greek fire were finally visible. But something was wrong.

A wave of force rocketed out from the model, some kind of glowing orange stuff preceding it.

"HIT THE DECK!" I yelled, and every camper nearby dropped to the ground.

The wave of force kept spreading, and one of the skeletal cats that had been hanging around the camp lately got hit by a stray replicating spell from the Hecate cabin and the orange stuff at the same time.

With a startled Mrow, that eventually became drawn out, until it was more like Mroooooooooooooooow, the cat shot into the air. Actually, it was more like orbit. I never saw it come down.

Luckily, the wave stopped once it hit the border. I gingerly climbed to my feet before I turned to Leo and Harley and asked, "What the Hades just happened?"


"That's when everything went wrong," I said with my head in my hands. "Harley's only eight or nine, so when we said we were building a model of Central City, well… He built a working model of a particle accelerator and blew it up, exactly like it happened on this earth."

Iris blinked. "You're kidding me, right?"

I shook my head. "No. There was a wave of dark matter that went through the whole camp. That cat that got shot up into the air..." I sighed. "A few years ago, I had to do this quest that involved Atlas, the guy who holds up the sky. He was trying to raise these skeletal warriors from dragon's teeth, but the first time they accidentally used saber-toothed tiger teeth. He ended up raising a bunch of skeletal cats." Wally frowned as if he was saying, Does that kind of stuff just happen on your earth?! Well, yes, Wally. Yes it does. "One of these cats was in the camp at the time," I continued, "and it got hit with the dark matter wave and a replicating spell from the Hecate cabin at the same time. After that, every time we tried to kill it, it multiplied by ten."

"So basically," Cisco summarized, "you created meta-skele-cats."

"Sure," I said hopelessly.

"And led them here," Caitlin added unhappily.

"That's actually not true," I told her. "One of them was chasing me before I got here, but the cats haven't figured out how to travel to alternate universes yet. They will, though. There's someone controlling them, and they want Earth-1 destroyed, for whatever reason. They're probably some insane monster or something, like Hera."

HR cocked his head. "I thought Hera was a goddess, not a monster."

I frowned. "Well, you don't have my history with her. Annabeth and I...well, let's just say that Hera has made our lives miserable, and if she wasn't a goddess and her husband didn't already hate me, we would strangle her." There was a pause. "Man, I love this earth. Being able to curse Hera without being struck by lightning is so great." No one seemed to know what to say to that. "Anyways, I just thought I should give you guys a heads up about the cats."

"Well, thanks," Joe said. "I need to head out, but let me know what you guys find, okay?"

"Yeah, I should go too," Iris admitted. She gave Barry a quick kiss and then headed out, which made it really hard for me not to stare. Since when were they together?! I mean, not that I didn't expect it; it was written all over their faces last time I was here, but...yeesh. It was only then I noticed the glittering ring on Iris's left hand. If I was holding anything, I would've dropped it.

Julian nodded goodbye to the other members of Team Flash and gave me a suspicious glance before leaving. My mouth was still hanging open like I was an idiot. Everyone gradually trickled away to do whatever it is they do until it was just Barry and I in the Cortex.

"Since when are you and Iris a thing?" I asked nodding in the direction of the door.

"Pretty soon after you left, actually," Barry answered with a soft smile. Then his expression darkened. "I need to talk to you."

"Okay…"

"Percy, listen."

"I am listening."

Barry sighed exasperatedly. "Percy, this is important."

"Got it."

"This isn't a great time. A lot of stuff has happened."

"You know, I was gonna ask about that. Why didn't Zoom come and try to kill me?"

"After you left…" he sighed again. "He killed my father."

"Ah." I shifted uncomfortably. "So...you killed him?"

"No. I beat him, but I didn't kill him. Then..." he sighed. "I made a mistake. I went back in time and saved my mother and created an alternate timeline called Flashpoint where both my parents were alive. When I tried to reset it, things changed."

"Okay, a, since when can you time travel? And, b, you're basically saying that you were Nero in the new Star Trek?"

"Anyways, because of that we have a new speedster to deal with. He calls himself Savitar."

"Ah," I nodded. "Hindu god of motion."

Barry frowned. "How did you know that?"

"Well, ever since we found out about the Egyptians, we've been researching other gods and whether or not they might be real."

"Right." Barry thankfully either ignored or just didn't notice that I told him there were more than just Greek gods on our earth. Phew. I've already accidentally told enough people about that. And...now I just told some more people. Well...Styx. "In the future," Barry continued, "Savitar kills Iris. I'm trying to stop that from happening, but I'm not sure if it's working or not. And with Wally and Jesse getting speed-"

"Who's Jesse?"

"She's Harry's daughter," Barry explained.

"Oh. Okay."

"Anyways, everything's just been really crazy lately."

"Tell me about it," I sighed. Then I frowned. "Hang on, did you say Wally and Jesse got speed?!" Barry nodded tiredly. I blinked. "Okay then. Well, on my earth, Apollo's been changed into a human and is now wandering around the country trying to stop three god-ish things from taking over the world. Also, I'm pretty sure the world is actually supposed to end in maybe...two, three weeks? I'm not sure. I'll have to check back with Annabeth. Her cousin's involved, after all. My point is," I continued, seeing Barry getting restless, "that just because it's a bad time doesn't mean you can ignore a threat like this."

He nodded, acknowledging my point. "I know that."

"Good. Then, let's focus on keeping these cats away from your earth."

"Okay. How do we do that?"

"Um...got it! We could have someone stand by with a spray bottle. Every time a breach opens, we have you or one of the other speedsters run to it and spray the cats until they go away."

Barry gave me an exasperated look. I shrugged.

"Like you've got any better ideas."

"I might, actually," Barry replied thoughtfully. "We should be able to call in some reinforcements for this."

I narrowed my eyes. "I feel like you're going to say Green Arrow, but I really don't want you to say Green Arrow."

Barry smiled evilly. "He's not the only one."
