Percy POV:
Once I had a twenty minute taxi drive, due to traffic and a passing police patrol with the sirens and lights on, I finally got back down on Third Avenue at the Assassins Bureau. Though I think I had a good idea of what the police was doing driving down the opposite direction, with me and Emily's mission. I looked around, making sure that nobody was around, and luckily everybody was back inside their homes and buildings, so it was safe to head inside the secret elevator. I acceded the electric box, placed the Assassin token in, and heard the rumbling as the ground opened up and revealed the elevator. I walked in, pulled the switch, and let the elevator go down as the ground closed up, and the lights came on. Within about thirty seconds, I reached back down at the lower level of the Bureau, and I walked out of the elevator. Walking down the hall, I made a turn on the right, into the technology room, which at first wasn't exactly how I imagined it when I saw it before. There were a whole bunch of servers hidden behind glass cases, wires coming out of it linking to a whole bunch of devices, including the computer and some sort of police scanner, along with city cameras. This is another way of how we get information on the Templars, rather than from the FBI. As I looked through the wires, a few of them linked towards the best machine in the Bureau; the Animus 3.0 (otherwise known as 'Baby 2.0' from Rebecca herself). I saw Rebecca in her orange jump suit (A/N: is it a jump suit from AC:BF?) and orange baseball cap, and she had an earpiece in her ear, while she kept looking at her computer, like a geek in a computer lab. I walked towards her, and said "Rebecca". She didn't hear me the first time. "REBECCA"! She turned, and took out her earpiece, "oh, hey Percy. Glad to see you". "Good to see you too, I got the program you asked for" I greeted back, handing her the SD card. "Hey, thanks Perce. Abstergo's gonna be jealous that we have this, and this'll help out Baby". She took the SD card, and removed the card out of the plastic casing, then plugged it into the computer. "Thanks to this, we get better data off of the Animus" Rebecca said, "thanks again Percy". "Welcome". After thinking of the short relation with both Shaun and Rebecca after I met them. "So... Just to ask... Do you and Shaun have a thing going on"? I asked, and Rebecca turned back and stare at me with a raised eyebrow. I now regretted asking the question, though With my ADHD, it's hard not to open my moth from time to time. "What the heck are you talking about? No! I don't like him, he sometimes annoys me, and he throws a whole bunch of insults at me. 'Oh, well you don't know about computers'. 'I'm Shaun, and I know everything'. 'Have a crumpet and some tea, will ya'. That's exactly what he's like. So, hell no"! Now I really, REALLY, regret asking any stupid questions. "Sorry" I apologized, "I was just asking". "Well, don't ask anymore questions like that. Okay? Know if you excuse me, I gotta get back to work", and she attended back to her computer, and I had no idea how she can deal with questions like this, or especially with Shaun Hastings. I wanted to ask her something else, without her starting to get angry at me, but I decided to get away from the awkwardness. I stepped out of the tech room, walking down the hall towards the training room, which very much reminded me about Camp Half-Blood, where I was very skilled at sword fights, rather than always missing the target at archery, and accidentally hitting the trainer at Javelin training. "Ah, Percy" I heard someone call me. I turned and saw Elizabeth, with her hood down and her weapons away. She was holding a small package, wrapped in a red lines with yellow stitching, and the stitching resembled the Assassin emblem. "Hey Elizabeth, what's in the cloth"? I asked, she came up to me, and said "Emily told Master Tabai that you completed your mission, so he wanted to give you something as a reward. A new upgrade to your blade". She removed the cloth from the package and underneath it was an upgrade for the hidden blade, one of the upgrades was a miniature crossbow, along with three steel bolts, and a sort of grappling hook, lined with rope, and the hook itself was the shape of an Assassin emblem. "What's this"? I asked, picking up the upgrade. "It was a device for the hidden blade back from both the French Revolution of which Arno Dorian lived, and the Industrial revolution where Jacob and Evie Frye lived. The phantom blade, the crossbow  is a device used as a miniature crossbow to take out your enemies silently, and can reload easily by hand. The second is the rope launcher, which Jacob used to get from the ground to the roofs in just seconds, also to get from rooftop to rooftop. So you could use this to get from the ground to... I don't know, the Empire State Building". I don't know if I actually could do that, but if it really worked, i don't think the gods would really like me near Olympus. I loosened the leather straps of my hidden blade, and started attaching the mechanism to my blade. It very much looked impressive, even impressive for Hephaestus's style. Once done, I flicked my wrist, and instead of the blade emerging from the mechanism, the phantom blade's crossbow pieces sprang up, but not in the bad way. Hephaestus would be pleased. "Wow, thanks Elizabeth". She nodded, "no problem, Percy, and just call me 'Izzy'". "But, isn't that only what Emily calls you"? Great, there was my stupid ADHD again. This is one problem with being a half-blood, well that and the Dyslexia. "Wait she told you"? Elizabeth asked, and I nodded in reply. "Ah, my little sis always liked to call me that, especially even after our parents died. But she always tried to annoy me by calling me Izzy, or Elizzy. But I decided to just ignore that, now that we're sisters both living in a brotherhood, so I'd protect her along the way". I could relate to her, with my brother Tyson. Though I didn't know who was watching the other's back, since Tyson saved my life before from Cannibal Giants, otherwise what me and Annabeth call 'Canadians', and I've saved his life during the second Titan war in Manhattan, while fighting a Drakon. Tyson's pretty much my little half-brother, even if he's a cyclops, which no mortal would believe if I could tell them. "Yeah, but family's forever, even if in life, or death" I said. "Yeah, well... Me and Emily might not even live long enough anyway". I didn't know if that was joking, or if that was serious, because if I remember the Templars are more powerful now, using the name of Abstergo Industries as cover. "Well, I wish you good luck, and thanks for the new toys" I last said, before I walked off down the hall.
***Later***
I had taken two more hours at the Bureau, organizing the new letters and contracts for the head master, and had hard time to do it with my Dyslexia. Then I went back to my mom's apartment with a taxi ride, and took the stairway up due to the broken elevator. It was extremely hard, trying to go up four stories of stairs just to reach the floor of my mom's apartment, and I know what's like to NOT take the elevator. I got to the door, and walked in, closing the door behind me. "Mom? I'm home". I yelled. "Hi Percy, I'm in the kitchen" she replied, and I walked into the kitchen, where my mom was reaching her hand into the oven with a oven mit on, and pulled out a tray of blue chocolate chip cookies, and another a pan of blue muffins. This is another reason why I like my mom, all blue food. Percy can survive another year against monsters, cookies and muffins can be blue. "Hi Percy, how was your job"? In case of what you're thinking, I told my mom I got a job at my mom's old workplace during the weekends, at Sweet on America, which she used to work at when Smelly Gabe used to live with us, before he was put in someone's own garden. "It's good, lots of people are coming in now, and we're doing some in improvements on the store" I replied, lying. I never liked lying to my mom, but I couldn't tell her about me being an Assassin, she wouldn't allow something like this. "Oh, glad to hear that sweetie, that's what I missed about my old job. I'm glad you took the opportunity to work there. And by the way..." She set the cookies and muffins on the oven, and put a few cookies and two muffins on a plate, setting them on the table in front of me. "I made your favourite treats. Blue, just the way you like them". "Thanks mom" I said, as I then picked up a cookie, and started eating them away. "So how're you doing mom"? I asked. "Well, I'm almost finally done with my studies, and I'll almost get my degree". I felt great to hear that, since my mom was attending university again to get her degree. She was attending college when she was younger, but quit so she could take of her uncle before he died. And she's attending it again now, but it's also sad when I remember she once did her studies with Paul, and I saw them through an Iris-Message. "Glad to hear that mom. I hope you do well". And my mom smiled, "thank you Percy. I really appreciate that". I finished taking a few more bites out of my cookies, and ate half of my muffin. "Thanks for the muffins and cookies mom, love them. But I'm gonna go to my room, and study for the test on Monday". "Okay Percy" my mom said, picking up the plate with my leftovers on it, "but take a shower at 7:00, and don't stay up too long. Okay dear"? "Okay, see you mom", I replied to her, and walking into my room. It was exactly the way I left it, bed neatly made, my books are on my desk, and Gabe's old calendar still hung on my wall for dart throwing. And on my desk, was my old and favourite weapon in pen form, Riptide. I haven't used Riptide in a long time, but I couldn't use it against Templars since they're mortal, and I haven't fought against any monsters in a while after I left camp. Plus, my mom wouldn't allow me to use it in the apartment (after accidentally playing around with a javelin and hit her china cabinet). I sighed, and sat at my desk chair, grabbing my Math book, since it was not easy, but not too hard had the same time. "Well, better get to work" I said to myself, opening the book open.
***Later***
I was extremely tired right now, having to study all night, and I was still stuck on question one. I rubbed my eyes on exhaustion, and I tried hard to concertante. But it's more harder to NOT let my ADHD take control of me, rather than concentrating on my work. I sighed, and looked up at the time: 6:59, and then, 7:00. Time for me to take my shower, so I went out of my room and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Thirty minutes later, I got out of the bathroom, in full clothes and I dried my hair while trying hard to brush it. When I got back into my room, I sat back at my desk, and tried to look over my paper again. This is why I hate ADHD and Dyslexia, since I can't even do anything better than 12x12. I need more time to do this, otherwise I'm going nowhere in Goode. Then while studying I heard a *Knock! Knock!* on my window, I looked, and nobody was there. I stared back down at my papers, and tried to understand it more easier. Then, there it was again, only louder. *KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!*. I knew someone was there now, so I went to my bed, and pulled out my Rapier from under the bed, and also Riptide in case of monsters. I got to the window, opened it up, and looked both left and right by the fire escape. And then. "BOO"! I heard someone yelled. I screamed, looked up, and saw Emily hanging on to the brick wall by her fingertips and she was looking down at me, smiling. And I felt like I almost had a heart attack, and yelled "jeez Emily! Don't scare me". She chuckled, and said "calm down Percy, I was just kidding". And she dropped down silently onto the fire escape, entering my room. "What're you doing here"?! I asked. "Just here to see you Percy. I'm seeing you're doing well here". Now I didn't know if that was sarcasm or not. "Listen, my mom's here, and if she sees you, she'll have a fit with me, or you, or both of us". And I heard my mom's voice, asking "Percy? Who're you talking to"? "Nobody mom, I'm okay" I spoke, as I poked my head out.
"Okay Percy, don't stay up too long dear".
"Alright, goodnight mom".
"Goodnight dear".
I sighed in relief, and close send my door. "Your mom sounds nice" Emily said, "are you sure you don't want me to meet her, because-". "Yes"! I said cutting her off, "because I don't think she'd want to see me with a girl here. You don't want to hear any of her embarrassing stories about me". Opps! Shouldn't have mentioned that. "Sure I do, but that's not why I'm here". She sat on my bed, and I sat next to her. I palmed my forehead, and silently asked, "then why ARE you here"? She put her arm behind my neck, and put her hand on my shoulder. I looked at her, and she had a sort of smile, one I missed before. "Listen, Percy. We've been working together for nearly a month now, and we've been more like friends rather than me being your trainer, and you being a student. But, I've been thinking about it, and I just want to take this a bit differently, and something better than being friends" I didn't understand what she was saying at first, but now, I think I get what she means. "A-are you saying that, we should be... I don't know... Dating"? She shut her eyes, and nodded. "When I first met you, I thought you were handsome, but most of the guys in the Assassins are always selfish, careless. All they care about is their missions. But you're not like that... Right"? I had thought about this for a few seconds, and I knew I liked her. I mean, she's beautiful, but I had to think about Annabeth. Annabeth's gone to Italy, away from me and camp, but I knew we still like each other, whether if we're a long way apart, which reminded me of when I woke up in the Wolf House with Lupa and was gone from Camp. "I-I guess. But I just don't think that-"?!? I was cut off when Emily reached over to me, and pecked me on the cheek. I went wide eyed and I my face felt red hot, which I was totally blushing.
Emily pulled away, and I stared down at her in her brilliant blue eyes. "Wow" I whispered. "I love you Percy, that's all I want to say". I blushed more, and my I rethought this through. I knew I had feelings for her when we both met at the Bureau, and I didn't know if I liked her, or 'liked liked' her. But now I'm thinking I know which one it is.
I put my arm around her back, and said "I love you too", and we both kissed each other full on the lips. She jumped up onto my lap, and wrapped her arms around my neck. Felt a nice warm sensation around my body, and felt my body shutter. I never remembered this feeling much until now; love. She let her lips go from mine, and we breathed for air. I stared up into her beautiful brilliant blue eyes, and thought of how I felt when I first liked her after meeting her. "I've loved you from the start Percy, and I always had a feeling you felt the same" she said, "I've loved you too, you know that". We smiled, and we pulled back into our kiss. The kiss very much reminded me of Annabeth, when she kissed me at Mount Saint Helens, and we both became boyfriend and girlfriend when we kissed inside a bubble in the Long Island Sound River. That didn't matter to me now. I know it sounds harsh, but I just couldn't think straight now. Emily pulled back, and said "I hope you don't mind Percy, but... Can I sleep with you tonight, just for a little while"? I nodded, and said "sure, anything for you", and we both smiled, pulling in for one last kiss, before I pulled the covers off my bed and we both got into bed. I pulled my t-shirt off, and threw it into the floor,  and so did Emily with her jeans and hoodie, leaving her tank top on. She had her hand on my chest, and I pulled the cover over us. I thought of so many things about her, and I decided to let the light go out, so I reached over to my lamp, and pulled the cord turning light off. First I was her student, then her friend, and now, her boyfriend. "By the way Percy..." Emily whispered. "Hm"? The mission we did earlier today. That was actually MY mission you helped me out with". I raised my brow, and before I realized it, she was already asleep. So I closed my eyes, and fell asleep.

A/N: how was it. Sorry if it was boring, but I'm not very good at lemons. And if I offended Percabeth shippers and replaced Percy's boyfriend. Leave a vote, comment and don't forget to follow me.
And I'll give a shoutout to @PercyJackson2244 for his Percy Jackson/Assassin's Creed story. Bye Bye!!! ^-^
