Percy woke up with a groan and remembered about school. Reluctantly she got ready before Alfred came into her room. "Good morning, Percy, please come down for breakfast. After the meal, we will depart to school."
She nodded. "Thanks Alfred, I will be down in a few minutes." The butler walked outside to let the girl get ready. Percy put on her Gotham-academy uniform, her two necklaces hidden under her top, and put her long hair in a neat ponytail.
She took her bag and walked downstairs. "Good morning." "Morning." Dick answered her as Bruce just nodded. They ate in peaceful silence until Alfred told the teens to hurry up.
The Wayne's reached Gotham Academy in time. Both had mostly different schedules and friends, so they split up. Percy simply walked to her classroom. Dick walked to his usual meeting spot with Barbara Gordon, they compared schedules and walked to their first class together.
Percy sat in her first classroom, ancient Languages, as more students came in. "Hey, look the Wayne-emo is back." Someone called out after he saw her. More of her classmates began to say unflattering words about and to her, but she blended them out and simply read her schoolbook which was written in Latin and Greek, the languages they will learn this year.
The teacher, Mr Tomteau, came in ten minutes later and greeted the class. "So, who knows something about speaking Greek or Latin and how good are you?" Percy along with three of her classmates raised her hand.
The three others each said they know a few words or phrases, as the teacher called Percy. "Sir, I am fluent in Latin and Greek." He raised an eyebrow. "If you don't mind Miss Wayne, could you please speak a few phrases each if you are really fluent?"
Percy nodded. "Γεια σας, το όνομά μου είναι Περσεφόνη. είμαι δεκατέσσερα χρονών και είμαι από το Gotham." (Hello, my name is Persephone. I am fourteen years old, and I am from Gotham.) She switched fluently to Latin. "Ego ipsum interested in mythologia Graeca et Romana et Argumenta omnia enumera ad Oceanum et animam suam." (And I am very interested in the List of all topics toward the ocean, and the Greek and Roman mythology.)
As she finished the whole class, even the teacher, looked at her dumbfounded. "If you don't mind me asking Miss Wayne, how did you learn these languages so perfect? And what were some of the words? They weren't modern Greek." Mr. Tomteau asked causing Percy to laugh. "I go to a special camp, where you can learn Greek and roman culture, since I was eight. And I speak both ancient and modern Greek fluent."
The man nodded. "Good, now let's go on with the mythology before we go to really learn the languages. Can anyone tell me names of Greek gods and goddesses and which their domain in the Olympian council? And maybe their roman names and domains?" Many rose their hands. Most common said things were:
Zeus god of lightning
Aphrodite goddess of love
Hades' god of death
Poseidon god of the sea
Hermes god of thieves
Hephaistos god of forges
Hestia goddess of the hearth
Hera goddess of marriage
Demeter goddess of plants
Artemis goddess of the hunt
Apollo god of the sun.
Ares's god of war.Percy scoffed at her classmates and the teacher called her. "Miss Wayne, you look like you disagree with your classmates, if you think you know more, could you please tell us?"
She smirked. "Of-course Mr. Tomteau. First of all, Hades and Hestia aren't in the Olympian council. Hades was banned form it because the gods were afraid of his powers and Hestia stepped down for Dionysus. Now to the gods and their domains. Most of it was wrong or just half of the truth."
She began to correct her classmates' mistakes. At the end of her speech, many of her classmates looked at her disapproving and threatening. But of-course the teacher didn't notice it and simply went on with the lesson. Percy walked quickly out of the classroom as the lesson ended.
The day went on without any real differences to the last year. Dick and Percy both were the best in their classes and the boy made fun with Barbara at any chance he got, while Percy sat alone in her normal corner.
Some of the kids in school used the fact of her sitting alone to their advantage. They threatened her to make their homework's or get beaten. The ravenette agreed to make the homework's absentmindedly. Her mind wasn't even in this year. No, it was ten years in the past. The anniversary of her mother's death came near, which is why she is so depressed every year in the first two weeks of school. This attitude of her brought many to think she is an emo and to bully her.
At the end of the day, the two Wayne's met again at the gate waiting for Alfred to pick them up as Dick spoke up. "How was school today? I had fun and it was cool to see Barbara again." Totally forgetting of the date of the week.
Percy smiled at him, of course he didn't notice it was fake. "School was good. I managed to correct the teachers and my classmates. Especially in ancient languages. Honestly, I only take this class to keep on with my camp and to relax in one class."
Dick smirked. "You know where you also could get A's without even thinking? Music. Don't say you can't sing, I heard you many times as you thought I was asleep or away." Percy blushed slightly.
They spend the remaining time of waiting in comfortable silence until Alfred arrived. "Hello Percy and Master Richard, I hope your day was good. Excuse me for my delay." Percy smiled. "Hello Alfred, don't worry, we didn't wait too long." Both teens sat down in the limousine and began to chat with Alfred while they drove.
~~~📆📆📆~~~
Friday evening, Percy arrived and walked instantly towards her room. She stepped inside and locked the door behind her before searching for a certain box. Inside the box, were many letters with different dates, some jewels, a stuffed animal, and many pictures. The girl took out a letter with the date of her last birthday. She opened it and began to read while hugging the animal.
My dear sea star,
I hope you are alive to experience this birthday. First of all, happy birthday, I love you. You know, at first, I was scarred as Poseidon told me about the prophecy, but I knew if you are the child of it, you will win.
I always knew you were the strongest of them all. Honestly, I knew the exact date of my murder. But I also knew why I couldn't prevent it. Apollo visited me a month before it, as I was on my way home from work.
He showed me parts of my but mostly your future. I saw how you would be raised by my brother and some of your adventures. I am so proud of you. I saw how you became a hero.
I wish you luck for all your fights. Now please don't go and curse Apollo for not preventing my death. (I know about your attitude and behaviour towards the gods.) It was unpreventable.
If I wouldn't have died, you wouldn't know many of the people you know now. Be happy and always remember you are never alone; you have friends who can and are willing to help you.
Love, mom.
Percy didn't bother to hide the tears that came out of her eyes while reading the letter. She just hindered the liquid to damage the paper.
