I'm bored... so utterly bored, that I would actually use the word utterly in a sentence. I'm so bored I'll tell you how my once not amazing life turned into a great one and is now turning into a very sucky one again.
Life is different and I dont think I mind until maybe days like these. I practically have five fathers, three mothers, and 5 siblings, (and one super adorable boyfriend.) So why in the world would I be left bored out of my mind in a billionaire/superheros house? Because they somewhat legally get to be superheros and I dont.
What do I get? Nothing! (You know except a lab full of shiny things, interns to harras, and a full fridge of colorful food, oh and an unlimited debit card.) As I walked around the tower an amazing idea came to me, why don't I rig the entire tower to prank people? Thats a reasonable goal right, yeah.
"WHAT TIME IS IT?" FRIDAY responded dutifully "3:42 A.M. the others should return at around 7:30 tonight."
"Nope its lunch time! What time is it? Its lunch time! FRIDAY play the bubble guppies lunch time song and theme song on all levels please, speakers and screens."
"Of course hot stuff." Loud groans filled the vents and wafted up to my impish ears.
"Oh the sound of the suffering fill my head with happiness!" I raced into the elevator skiiding to a halt just in time to not ram my head into the elevator door that I forgot to ask FRIDAY to open. I tapped the question to her and she opened the door plunging me down to the lab.
I grabbed one of the too many Stark pads that Tony insist he needs, and got to work on ordering supplies.
"Dum-E, where are you my boy?" I once again tapped on one of the filthy work tables that littered the lab. I heard clanking and a crash signaling his soon arrival, "Hey buddy, how are you? I've missed you!"
The robot beeped back an 'I missed you too fire boy.' As he still couldn't say my name, or maybe he just liked to know he knows my not so secret secret.
It takes two hours for my supplies to get gathered and brought here so I better start planning now. There are 93 levels, and I have 16 hours 56 minutes. So I can spend roughly 5.25 minutes on each floor, that's not enough to make extraordinary traps but I am on the prank council with Connor and Travis Stoll. So I'm practically an expert when it comes to a short amount of time and still wanting to cause the most collateral damage.
On floors 1-5 (where the security, secretary, reporters and their interns are) we will have the stick fest, I will put weightless non toxic dry glue that activates when it gets wet, in the heaters. And I'll put mist sprayers in all doorways and so they will all be wondering why they stick to literally everything.
On floor 6-10 (which holds the cleaning staff, interns, and lower business people) I will switch the light bulbs with black lights, so when the cleaning people turn on the lights for the night they see every single germ. I will only be able to activate these pranks every once in awhile so people dont go crazy.
11-25 My favorite yet, the haunted levels,(for mandatory scientist, engineers, and business people) I'll put magnets on little tracks under the tables, only strong enough to move, pens, pencil, and occasionally wipe your phone. But I'll have them constantly moving due to other magnets so no one will suspect anything. I am going to put sound boxes, with chains rattling, muttering, and nails on a chalk board on sound sensors, for whenever somthing brakes or there is a crash.
26-35 Baby Shark alert (the labs where the main scientists and technicians work). Its exactly what it sounds like, whenever an alarm goes off Baby Shark plays with a mix of blue and red lights, and holograms of sharks swimming towards the workers.
36 - 40 is the Cafeteria, Break rooms and Avengers museum for exclusive personal and visiting college's. Instead of my usual high maintenance pranks, I went easy and just made puzzle locks and traps too get people's and most likely Aliens and Mutants brains working.
And etcetera, the delivery man was supose to be here any moment so I called Happy who grumbled an 'ok' at allowing the delivery man up. A brown blurr smooshed around the room, making me extremely disoriented. Finally the blur stopped, showing me who I could only guess was the god Hermes, the mischievous smile accompanied with a matching pair of dangerous sparkling eyes.
Many shrunken packages laid in his hands, he threw them to the ground and they enlarged. Hermes took a step towards me, and I took one back.
"Leo Valdez."
"Lord Hermes."
"I am hereby the council of the gods to take you to your court trial due to your abandonment of dutynof Camp Half-blood and and conspiring with mortals and gods."
"Bu-? What? I didn't conspiracies with anyone!"
"Did you not show your powers to mortal? Leave camp without permission, conspire with mortals, and endanger the lives of demigods by befriending a Norse Trickster God?"
"Um, I no-, well yes? But, I didn't try-?"
"Leo I honestly dont think what you did was so bad, I heard what they did to you...but I cant do anything! Honestly, I only have one vote in the council of thirteen, and I must do what Zeus says and bring you to the council for a trial."
"Please, let me at leastly leave a note!"
"I'm sorry but I cant let you, that would worsen your case."
"They'll think I ran away, please I cant do that to them."
"Alright, but I'll write it, they wont think you ran, I'm only doing this 'cause of those amazing pranks."
"Thank you Lord Hemes."
"Dont be thanking me yet, now dont throw up on me." Hemes said while dropping a note on a nearby table.
"Leonidas has been somewhat legally stolen, so dont look for him."
P.s. I'm just the messenger.
P.s.s he is not hurt yet so no worries.
