I'll figure it out

Chap.8

Percy hung back as people shuffled into the dinning room. There ware a lot of people. To many for her liking, she felt claustrophobic in the large room. Not to mention her best friend now new the main big secret she kept from him. That and the she knows who he is. That's a big one too.

It was now just hitting her and she needed to get out and breath. But seeing as she could not ditch her own party. She did not even want this party. She wanted to go to the beach with Estelle and dick. Roller blading would be nice.

"Hello" said a voice, unfortunately pulling Percy out of her thoughts. She turned to see nightwing. Speek of the devil. "Hello" "so Percy, I didn't know you were a princess" "I hate that word...princess" "oh? How come" "when you think of princesses you think of a girl, helpless and in need of saving. I have served two wars and several kidnappings. I am not weak" "I have no doubt you are"

"Percy!" Some one yelled. Only to be engulfed in a hug. The smell of singed clothing reached her nose. Along with a slight sent of peanut butter. She could not help be smile.
"Hello Tyson" her arms being crushed by her side she could only tap his back with her finger tips.

"Is that a Cyclops?" Nightwing said from behind her. "Yes this is me half brother, Tyson. His mother was a sea nymph and does not count as a demigod"
"Sister do you still have the shield?"
She smiled to herself. It was one of her most prized positions.
"I do" she took off her watch and handed it to him. To nightwings surprise it turned in to a metal shield. Spiraling out of the Center. Nightwings jaw dropped.
"How-ok thats cool"

"Who are you" Tyson having the childish Curiosity that he has, asked.  "Uhm I'm a friend I guess" in graysons view, Percy and nightwing is only met once. But Percy is not as stupid as people pin her down to be. And she knew her best friend well, his body language, speech patterns, and how his brain works. She only has to play stupid.

He had noticed the watch and had not thought anything about it. It was a simple ticking time watch with only one small button on it. It had leather straps and a metal clasp.
But what he really could not wrap his head around was how beautiful Percy looked. She was a tomboy through and through. Something must have really been said to have her ware a dress.  But damn did she look good.

The green in the dress matching her eyes well. Making them light up and show there Beauty. Several rings adorned her fingers, the only ones that were not covered was her left ring finger and her thumbs. Her earrings all simple studs, going all the way up until it met cartilage. Which was five, one on each ear. Her dark olive toned skin complementing her eyes.

"we should get going to eat" she said, some what uncomfortable in the silence that had settled.
"Alright"
They sat and began to eat. Many at different tables, Percy was with her father, stepmother, Tyson, Leo and the rest of her friends. There was a small space ware people could dance. Though it was boring; Percy found herself looking out of the window, not hungry.

"Would you care to dance your highness?" A male voice said. She looked to him, not knowing who he was. "I'm sorry, who are you?" He looked taken aback, as if not expecting any one not to know him.
"I am Levi Krei, from the Krei family" he has a foreign accent. "The Krei family?" She asked, unsure of who he was. "Of atlantis" "oh" it appears that he was raised to be known of high stature. "That's nice" she had no idea what to say, it's one of her 'uncomfortable words' it's something she says to end the conversation or change the subject. It's that or 'interesting'.
"So would you like to dance?" Not seeing a way out of it she reluctantly agreed. Other people were on the dance floor. Dancing slowly. How uncomfortable it would be for her.

Nightwing kept on thinking on when he first saw her in the dress, how it lit up her eyes. Like they weren't as broken as before. As aqua lad continued to recount everything that she has done, he was lost in his own mind. Half listing to what his friend was saying. Then a certain word caught his attention. Tartarus.
