A/N: Woah! It's a day early (sort of)! Yay!
Why art thou always so happy?
Because I feel like it. Anyways, Happy Late Thanksgiving to the Americans out there! And if you're not American, well...that's too bad. Just know that my turkey was absolutely delicious and y'all are doing...whatever it is you do this time of year.
And a merry Christmas to all ye readers!
It has literally been three days since Thanksgiving! Sheesh. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Favorites/Followers: and MustWatchAnimeNOW. Thank you so much guys! You've both favorited and followed and helped bring me to the grand total of 40 favorites and 67 follows, and I thank you SO many times for that.

BisexualKitsune: Look below for puppet time. But don't skip any, please. It took me forever to write this. :)

Sameen (Guest): :)

Turtlepower12: Yeah, I figured Percy would be one of those people. Personally, if there's not already food out when I wake up, I just don't eat breakfast. And doughnuts really are great. The book series on Earth-2 would actually be really different, if you think about it, because Zeus would never accuse his own child of stealing from him. Percy and Annabeth wouldn't have had the built in rivalry, Tyson wouldn't have been Percy's brother... The changes would go on and on. Percy also probably would've died after jumping out of the arch, even if he could fly. The poison would've killed him. Anyways, yeah I think there are just so many HP references you can make, especially since Tom Felton came on the show. :)

Hope4All: I had so much fun coming up with those titles for Poseidon. I'm glad you're enjoying this, and hey! Write something! The world can alway use more writers. :)

Guest (1): Aww, thank you! It makes me so happy when people enjoy my stories. Hope you get an account soon and as for that payback you were talking about... See below. :)

Guest (2): Leo will probably make an appearance later on. I have a nice little scene planned out for him. Mwah ha ha ha ha! Anyways, I'm glad Percy seems in character to you. :)

FavFan: Oh, he will. Trust me, he will. MWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA- *cough* :)

"What did you want to do, exactly?" Barry asked as soon as we were all standing on the floor of the Pipeline. I hadn't even known there was this much room down here. I thought it was just a couple boxes they threw people inside.

I considered it for a moment. "Well, I'm not totally sure yet, but I think everyone except Oliver and me should train with Kara. Partly because you can punch away without hurting her, but in order to not hurt yourselves, you have to do it right." I paused. "Ah, invulnerability. I kinda miss it." That got me a lot of weird looks, but I ignored them. "Oliver, I mostly want to train with you because you can use a sword, even though you're mortal."

Cisco cocked his head. "How's that going to work? You only have one sword."

I pressed a finger to my lips as if to say, Shhh. "Who's to say I only have one, huh? Just because you've only seen me with one doesn't mean it's the only sword I have."

Wally scoffed. "Too scared to face off against a speedster, huh? I suppose that makes sense. You'd rather fight something that's familiar and you know you can beat." Now it was Oliver's turn to glare at Lemonhead. "I mean, think you can beat," Wally corrected himself hastily.

I turned, slowly and deliberately, to stare at him. The kid was really asking for it. Okay, technically, he was probably my age or a little older, so he wasn't really a kid, but still…he acted like one. Barry was looking at him, too, as if to say, You're seriously going to go there? We already went over this!

I gave Wally my best evil grin. "Don't worry. I'll get to you."

Wally rolled his eyes and strolled off to the other side of the Pipeline floor, closer to his girlfriend, the rest of Team Flash, and Kara. As he walked, I heard Barry muttering to him, "What did I tell you about pissing him off?"

I smiled again and turned back to Oliver. "Alright, Green Bean. Let's go."

Oliver squinted. "Did you just call me Green Bean?"

"Yes."

"I don't have a sword," he stated as if it was surprising news.

"I know. It's okay. After last time, I feel bad for you. After all, I did beat you pretty badly. This time, use your weapon of choice. Mostly because I forgot to bring the sword I normally have. Although, if you'd rather use a Celestial bronze-shooting twelve gauge shotgun, I have that, for some reason. I think one of the Stoll brothers probably stuck it in my bag."

Oliver grinned wolfishly and pulled out his bow, seemingly from thin air. "You just made a big mistake."

"Where the Hades did that thing come from?" I demanded. Also, how did he know he would have the opportunity to use it?

"That's for me to know and you to wonder about."

Without warning, he pulled an arrow from his quiver (which also came out of nowhere) and fired it at me. In just as little time, Riptide was in my hands, cap off. I held it up, and the blade unfolded fully just in time to send Green Bean's - I mean, Oliver's - arrow flying off to the side.

On the sidelines, I heard Jesse demand, "Is that something he just does? He doesn't even have speed!"

There was a momentary pause where the other group of superpowered people decided, Well, they're fighting. Let's go! Soon, the Pipeline was filled with the sound of crackling lightning. Weird vibrational bursts were coming out of Cisco's hands, which was new, and Kara was using her heat vision (the same one that almost decapitated me) like a madwoman. Once, I saw her do this thing where she takes a really deep breath and then, like, a tornado comes out of her mouth. That was a bad description, but it was cool.

I saw all this out of the corner of my eye. I was engaged in my own fight, you know. Oliver steadily fired arrows at me, trying out different spots to see if I would miss blocking any, but I didn't. It would be kind of embarrassing if I died because of that. Can you imagine me - well, actually not me, 'cause I'd be dead - having to explain to everyone back home? Yeah, so…the Hero of Olympus twice over died because this Green Bean guy shot him with an arrow… No, he wasn't a monster. Was he insane? Well, maybe. Is he okay with dying an early death at the hands of an angry girlfriend? No, probably not.

I was about hundred feet away from Oliver when he shot an arrow that came at me differently. At first, it flew completely normally, but then it split into two. I barely had time to register what I had seen (arrows are fast, you know) before they were on me. I deflected one of the arrows with my sword and caught the other in my left hand.

(A/N: I actually have shot a recurve bow, which is what Oliver shoots - a glorified recurve - and at a hundred feet it is totally possible to see the arrow coming your way. You can actually see where it's going even at twenty feet with an eighteen pound draw weight, but you probably couldn't react to it in time. Oliver's accuracy with a recurve would be nearly impossible to achieve, unless you had a bow with an insane draw weight so that the arrows would fly flat. However, given that Oliver draws the bow quickly and in awkward positions on numerous occasions, I'm guessing his draw weight would be somewhere in between forty-five and fifty pounds. But you can just ignore this if you want.)

"Dude!" I shouted. "Are you trying to get me killed? I have blue pancakes to eat, pal, and you do not want to deprive me of my blue pancakes!"

Oliver the Olive shot yet another arrow at me, but this one was very obviously off-course, so I let it sail right over my head. I smiled. Apparently, the great archery Queen actually did miss every once in a while.

As if he knew what I was thinking, Green Bean smiled and pressed a button on some kind of remote he had stowed in his belt triumphantly. Nothing happened.

We paused for a moment, like Oliver the Olive was still waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. Well, aside from his having to dodge a wayward lightning bolt, me almost getting knocked over by a vibrational burst, and the both of struggling to keep our footing as a mini earthquake shook the floor. Apparently, I wasn't the only one could do that.

"What was that supposed to do?" I asked, halting my advance for a moment.

Oliver shifted his weight to his right foot, letting a blast of heat vision miss him narrowly. "That was a magnetic arrow. It was supposed to take away your sword."

I laughed, lowering the tip of my sword to the ground. "This is Celestial bronze, Green Bean. It's enchanted."

As I was still laughing, Oliver shot another arrow at me, which wasn't very sportsmanlike, but that's technically how all demigods are trained too. So, I guess I can't blame him. Anyways, this arrow flew differently than the normal arrows, or even from the split-y arrow he shot at me. There was something attached around the shaft of the arrow, meaning Oliver had to aim it even higher so it would still hit its target (that'd be me, by the way). This time, I didn't even bother to use Riptide. The arrow's path arched so much that from my position about seventy-five feet away, I could easily reach out and grab it. So that's exactly what I did.

Oliver watched me smugly yet again, which set me on edge. I glanced down at the arrow in my hands. It must've been another trick arrow! The heavy piece around the shaft was a small, metallic cylinder with a little green light blinking on and off. The beeping noise coming from it was basically a dead (literally) giveaway. My eyes widened.

Bomb.

I tossed the arrow back towards Mr. Asparagus just in time, making the arrow explode halfway between the two of us. The blast was enough to throw us both back and send Riptide soaring out of my grasp. For a moment, I thought my sword would decapitate one of the speedsters, but instead it flew towards the wall of the Pipeline, where it stuck.

Rather than waste time trying to pry Riptide out of the wall, I ran towards Oliver, intending to engage him. But, while I was looking at my sword, Oliver had fired another arrow, and this time I didn't see it until it was six inches in front of me.

Luckily, it wasn't an explode-y arrow or a sharp one. Instead, the arrow literally tied me up. This threw me off balance, and I ended up falling over.

Oliver walked over to me, grinning happily and I glared up at him. "I think the win goes to me this time," he said conversationally.

I shifted over with what little room I had to move my legs."You know I'm the son of the sea god, right?" As I spoke, I gradually worked my right hand into my pocket.

"Yeah. What does that have to do with anything?"

"Well…" Success! "The sea doesn't like to be restrained. And neither do I!" After saying this, I uncapped Riptide, which had reappeared in my pocket, so that it broke my bonds. I lunged towards Oliver quick as a...wait for it...flash. In less than half a second, my sword was at his throat. "My, how the tables have turned."

Green Bean frowned as his eyes flickered from my sword to where it had been imbedded in the wall. "How did…?"

"Neat trick, right? Now, who won this round?" Oliver the Olive didn't look happy about it, but he admitted I was the winner. It was only after I backed off and put Riptide away that I realized the others had finished their own training and were now just watching the two of us.

"Nice job," Kara nodded.

"Thanks," Oliver and I said at the same time. We slowly turned to look at each other like, Really, dude?

Barry stepped forward and glanced at Cisco. "We should go check in with Caitlin and make sure nothing's gone haywire while we've been doing this."

"If it's alright," Wally started, "I'll stay down here. I want to train with Percy a little bit and see if he's actually as good as he says he is."

"I'd be delighted," I said with an evil smile.

Barry sighed and tilted his head to the side like, Really? "Fine. Just please don't kill each other. I'd rather not explain to Joe how we have two dead bodies on our hands."

"Sure," Banana Boy nodded.

"No promises…" I teased in a singsong voice as Barry walked back up to the Cortex along with Cisco, Kara, and Oliver.

Lemonhead sped away until there was a few hundred feet of space between us before turning back to face me. "Ready?" he called.

"Always." I shifted my weight from one foot to both, so that I was in a more prepared stance.

Even from where I stood, I could see Wally's frown. "You don't have your sword out."

"Trust me; I'm ready."

Daffodil shrugged. "Your funeral."

Lightning flickered over the exterior of Lemonhead's suit as he began to surge forward. I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling the water around me: in the pipes, in the air, and even in Daffodil's body. I focused on the rapidly moving water molecules that jumped around as though struck by lightning. Gee, I wonder why they behaved that way.

All this happened in an instant. Then, exerting as little of my will as if I were going to pop the top of a water bottle, I stopped him.

Wally was frozen in a running stance; one foot was touching the ground and the other was held up in the air behind him. "What...did you...do...to me?" he managed to grind out through his teeth, much like Zoom had a little less than a year ago.

I smiled. "I'm not just a kid with a sword, Mac n' Cheese. I have control over all water, and that includes the water inside you. I can make you do whatever I want." To prove my point, I forced him to do a stiff version of the Macarena.

"I...get it," he protested. "You...can stop...now."

"Okay, but from now on, don't mess with me," I bargained. "I would hate to have to embarrass you in front of your girlfriend."

"Fine."

A clicking sound came from one of the speakers in the Pipeline, and then Kara's voice came. "Um, guys?" She paused. "I don't know if you're done smashing each other into the ground or not, but you might want to cut it short. The cats are back, and they've started a fire. A big one."

I jerked my head in the direction of the door. "Let's go."
