The Roman Avenger (Percy Jackson)

Chapter Ten

Chapter 10

I sat in my underworld bedroom impatiently waiting on my cousin, "Jason you ready bro?"

My cousin was looking a little uncomfortable in his black tuxedo. We had the whole git up to, dark black shoes, dark black bow tie, dark black pants, dark black suit, and then just a white collared shirt underneath. I think Apollo said something about it representing the destruction of the black throne.

I looked into the mirror and I matched my cousin perfectly. Jason frowned at me, "We look ridiculous as twinkies dude."

I chuckled at my friends dismay, "We look bad ass, the ladies are going to be tripping over us! Were the heroes of Olympus at this party man, chin up this is going to be fun...Or interesting at the least!"

Jason turned around and looked at me, "Your not going to start round two of your boxing match with Neptune are you?"

I frowned at the thought of getting embarrassed in front of all of Olympus, "Yeah...No. I clearly need a bit more training before I go messing with him again. Now if he eggs me on, I give you permission right now to knock me out!"

Jason grinned at the thought, "I will keep that in mind..." He looked into the mirror and straightened his bow tie, "You know you were right Percy."

I raised an eyebrow at this and he dramatically turned around putting on some nice dark black ray-ban's, "We do look bad ass!"

I grinned at my cousin and put on my matching dark sun glasses. I then threw my arm around him, "Lets go pick up the girls, they should be ready by now!"

With that I shadow traveled us to the living room that Reyna and I generally share when we are here. Jason looked a little woozy, "Come on man, it wasn't that far we could've just walked here!"

I gave my cousin an evil grin, "But then I would miss the chance to see you look so green!"

Jason just glared at me and he sparked with electricity preparing to fry me, when we heard two people clear their voices. We whirled around to see Piper and Reyna both in identical black dresses. Whoever picked out these dresses, seriously high five! The dresses were both midnight black and short enough to not leave a whole lot to the imagination. They both had strapped dresses and it revealed probably a little to much on the top. I knew immediately that Apollo must've had his hand in picking these dresses. My first thought was to send him a thank you prayer, but the first time I see a God checking out Reyna I am going to be sending him a good old smack up side the head!

I gave Reyna my best smile, "You look gorgeous Rey!"

Jason then quirked, "You to Pipes, beautiful!"

Piper smiled brightly as did Reyna. Piper said, "You two both clean up very nicely. I am surprised, the tuxedos look pretty nice!"

Reyna then chimed in, "The sun glasses make you two look like some kind of CIA agents or something though!"

Jason and I read each other's minds as we went back to back and both made guns with a hand. I said, "The names Jackson...Percy Jackson!"

My friends went into fits of laughter at my old 007 reference. I looked at Jason in surprise that he had actually seen the movie, but he gave me a mean defensive look, "What? The Mercury kids used to bring in movies all the time. Besides there is a movie theater in New Rome! We may not get a lot of chances to see the movies there as active duty members, but during the Christmas holiday we get about two weeks off. Christmas and New Years, after that back to work. We really still work 355 days a year because the cohorts switch around duties during the holiday, but at any given time no more than one cohort is working during the holidays!"
