I'm sorry. I should've updated sooner, I mistakenly called Small Bob 'Lil' Bob' in a previous chapter (it's fixed now) and on top of that, this chapter is short and kinda boring. But I appreciate you guys sticking with me.

Thank you for the reviews! Each and every one is greatly appreciated. Thank you bananannabeth (I was hoping people would like it), December Rome (my good friend and proof reader, love her), SeaSpree (good interesting or bad interesting?), Guest review (thank you! That really means a lot!), LostFerret (I needed the correction)(And the encouragement), Thebookthief (very encouraging, thank you so much), and Matt Cipher (Very uplifting and a well-worded review, thank you).

I feel like I'm reviewing my reviews.

I'll shut up now.

Though that's one of my favorite things to do.

Anywho. Story.

Disclaimer first! If I owned Percy Jackson, the movies would be done better.

Percy smirked at Annabeth's explanation of the scenario. Jason pursed his lips. The four demigods were currently hiding in the apartment bathroom, which happened to be a tad small for all of them. Jason was standing in the shower. Piper was sitting on the counter. Percy was sitting on the back of the toilet, his feet on the bowl, which reminded Annabeth of the fact that he had a tendency to ruin plumbing systems. He twirled Riptide between his fingers.

Annabeth leaned against the wall, her brain still spinning with the new information from the battle. She wiped her dagger with a hand towel, something she did when she was anxious. Not that these monsters would be a problem, no, that wasn't it. She could handle any monster thrown at her, and if she couldn't, Percy was there to back her up. Not to mention Piper and Jason.

She was worried about the mortals. Amy and Seb were innocents, and very kind to open their homes. But they didn't know their roommates secrets, and they could get hurt easily. That was the last thing any of them wanted.

Percy's brow furrowed. "So let me get this straight. They want jobs? That's it? Money?"

"Well they're not gonna miss out on an opportunity to kill demigods while they're at it. We saw that firsthand." Piper looked at Annabeth, her kaleidoscope eyes reflecting the blonde girl's nervousness.

"We need to find all of their safehouses. All of the stores they run. If it is like this… Monster Donut… that you guys saw, then we need to stop them before they run all of New York." Jason had that steely determination in his eyes that only a Praetor of New Rome could.

"Then I guess it's decided. Let's send their ugly podexes back to Tartarus." Percy smirked, that trouble-maker half-grin that Annabeth had learned to love.

"Uh, the plural of podex is podices, Aquaman." Jason smirked at him.

"Well, I can whip your podice while I'm at it, Flyboy."

They started laughing, while the girls rolled their eyes. Ever since they'd gotten over their masculinity/ dominance rivalry, they'd actually started to become really good friends. Really good friends that still love to make fun of each other.

"Amy and Seb will be wondering," Annabeth said. "Let's get back to them."

The four left the bathroom and returned to the living room, where the two mortals were in an intense game of Mario Kart. As usual, Amy talked as Seb just glanced and kept quiet.

"Where were you guys?" She asked, not looking away from the game. Her arms moved with the controller, like it would help her drive better.

"Bathroom," Percy said, and then winced, as if realizing that there was probably a better excuse.

Her brow furrowed. "All of you?"

"Cleaning the bathtub." Jason tried to help. It didn't make it much better.

At this, Amy paused the game. Seb put his controller down, eyebrow twitching as if he were about to raise it questioningly. "All four of you?"

"Big bathtub," Percy explained. He grabbed a coke from the fridge, acting as though the matter was settled.

"It's normal," Piper said hurriedly. Annabeth could feel the charmspeak.

Amy looked confused for a second more, and then shrugged, deciding her game was more important.

Annabeth glared at Percy. He was honestly one of the worst liars she'd ever known. He'd never been good at excuses, the Seaweed Brain. This is why she should do the talking. And she would've, had she not been thinking about how many possible monster-run stores there could be. Not to mention finding them all. Not to mention shutting them down. Not to mention keeping it all from Amelia…

Amelia. Maybe she could help.

Annabeth sat down on the couch, pretending to watch the game. "Hey, Amy?"

"Mm?" She grunted, obviously engrossed in both the game and the brownie she'd stuffed in her mouth between laps.

"Piper and I really enjoyed the hat store today. Are there any more of them around the city?"

"There's a salon on 7th. It is neat, isn't it? And Piper, I'm glad you- Sebastian, I swear to goodness- suggested shoe shopping again, because I got these." She threw her foot onto the table, revealing a pair of brown, lace-up, over-the-knee boots with heels. The heels probably served to make her taller, but serving as she was so short, they didn't do much good.

"See? Piper knows best." Piper smiled, brushing a braid from her face.

"That's right she does," Amy agreed. "I'm never- eat my dust, Sebastian- taking these off."

Annabeth allowed a moment to laugh before continuing in her questioning. "A salon?" She turned to Piper. "We should definitely go there."

By this point, Percy and Jason had moved to the other side of the living room, watching Seb lose to Amy and giving him helpful tips that weren't so helpful. Their video game skills were… lacking.

"Sure. It is break, right? Let's go tomorrow. Oh, boys, you could totally come too. We can- ooh, you did not just hit me, Sebastian- grab breakfast, too. There's a Monster Donut down the street from where we wanna go."

Percy choked on his coke. Annabeth forced a smile. "Sounds great."

Yeah... short chapter. Sorry again. I've been thinking about doing an Avengers story. I really want to, actually. About them all moving in and getting used to each other. Probably been done before, but I just love Marvel... I wanna do a cliche X-Men one, too, but at the same time, I don't want it to be cliche. Anywho. Thoughts? I think a Percy and superhero crossover would be awesome to write.

Have a good day you guys!
