Percy Wayne

Chapter 2

Bruce's POV

I just found out my long-lost sister is dead from receiving a call from the Police Station in New York City.

 I found out after giving up trying to search for her for a long time but the only reason I found this information out at all was because of a 9-year-old boy who had nowhere else to go. 

Deciding to investigate this little boy, out of pure curiosity so I knew a little about him before and not interrogate him I found some interesting information.

 He was a seriously troubled kid. He was kicked out of 6 different schools within 2 years. And what I just recently read showed he was just recently kidnapped in a gunfight on the St. Louis Gateway Arch. I hope that bringing him into my ever-growing family of children to help him to become at least a lot more stable.

Percy's POV

I was furious. just found out my uncle is some rich playboy. If he was rich he could have helped me and my mom. My mom wouldn't have to marry smelly Gabe to protect me. Mom and I could have been happy together. 

There is a possibility of my last name being changed to Wayne as I far as I know I would be the one person to inherit the family company. With all this information thrown at me all at once, I am just surprised I only have a headache from this. Just stressed out from finding out the additional responsibility I have on top of being a child of the big 3.

I am not even sure how I will be able to keep away from technology thanks to the media.

I want a normal life. I want to be normal for once or relatively normal children. I remember something I saw about my "uncle" Bruce adopting a few kids a few years back right? All older and tragic life stories. I just hope they are not snobby and don't mind me there. Hopefully, they get a better sibling relationship than what the Greek gods have. My brother Triton, for example, we are just in neutral territory at the moment. Not talking to each other unless required.

How many times did I change the subject within the last 5 minutes? I could use blue cookies right about now. I miss Mom's blue cookies...

As I feel my face start to become wet. I hear footsteps in my direction.

I wipe away my tears and I hear an unfamiliar voice call my name.

"You're Perseus, right?"

An unknown man in a black suit with piercing blue eyes asks me

"who's asking."

I muttered still wiping away my tears my eyes bloodshot

"I'm Bruce Wayne. I am your uncle. Nice to meet you"

The now unknown man in the suit Bruce says to me.

I just nod and he offers me his hand to head towards the car.

I take his hand reluctantly

"I already signed all the papers all that's left to do is go home in Gotham and get you settled in"

he says trying to fill in the dead silence. I can see pity and hurt in his eyes. He is good at hiding it but with my demigod senses, I can see a bit of his expressions.

We are exiting the police station and immediately are engulfed with flashing lights and people calling out my uncle's name and asking about the kid with him. I shrink into the side of my uncle until we arrive at the limo.

He opened the door and placed my stuff into the backseat with me. As Bruce starts up the car, pulling away from the busy media I start to feel my eyelids become heavy and I fall asleep.

Bruce's POV

When I entered the station I immediately see in a side room, an angry crying 9-year-old kid sitting with a few of his belongings. I was ushered by a police officer to sign all the documentation before I was allowed to leave with him. 

Once that was completed I was escorted to where he was located. Once I walked into the room I immediately saw him wiping his tears in his sleeve.

 He looked a lot like my sister. Once we had our small introduction and headed to the limo I felt him lean into my side to guide him from the blinding lights of the camera. 

As I got into the car I saw him in the rearview mirror begin to fall asleep as I drove us towards the manor. Hopefully, he will have a bit of peace living with us.
