Jasper Jackson (Percy Jackson/Twilight Crossover)

Chapter Two - My Brother is Insane

~Jasper~

"Is it almost over?" Percy asked me after a few hours on this flying metal death trap. I looked over at him and almost laughed seeing him gripping the armrests so hard I'm surprised his hasn't broken them yet, and his eyes were as tightly shut as he could get them. I wasn't as bothered by planes as him, but that doesn't mean I'm comfortable on them. For the passed six or seven hours I've been watching whatever movies I had remembered to put in my carry-on bag on my portable DVD player as I've tried not to think about being on this plane. Also sleeping as we left New York at like five yesterday. Percy on the other hand hasn't done much, but sit there freaking out. Although I do think he's gotten at least four hours of sleep, on and off. 

"I don't know, Perce, Mom said it could take ten hours." I said trying to sooth him, but realized that I chose the exact wrong words to do that. 

"Why did we have to take a plane?" He asked gripping the armrests even further. 

"It's better than having to drive all the way there. At least this way it's only a few hours." 

"Not helping." 

"Sorry, Perce, not much I can do." I said putting my hand on his shoulder to try and calm him as I can feel how tense and nervous he is being on this plane. One thing that always annoyed me about being an empath, I can feel the emotions of everyone around me. Well it's more of sense as it doesn't effect my emotions at all. Luckily Aphrodite gave me the ability to tell why someone feels that emotion instead just sensing the emotion. "Perce, why don't you do something to try and distract yourself? That's why I've been doing." 

"Like what?" He asked finally opening his eyes again and looked over at me. 

"Here, we can both watch this." I said moving my portable DVD player over so he could see as well and plugged another pair of headphones into it, as it had three headphone jacks, before handing them to him. He slowly put them on and I restarted the movie I had been watching, even if I was only ten minutes in.

"Attention passengers. We have about ten minutes before we reach Port Angeles. Please return to your seats, put your trays back up and hand the flight attendants any trash you may have." We heard the captain say over the intercom system just as the movie we were watching ended. 

"Oh thank god." Percy muttered to himself as I began putting away the headphones and DVD player. Neither of us had to put our seat belts back on because well...we were kind of too paranoid to ever take them off...Shut up.

Ten minutes later the plane started landing and, as this is the part that we both hate the most...well beside taking off or even being ON the plane, we gripped the armrests so tightly I think they may have broken. In fact I know mine did, as I could feel where it indented around my fingers...oops. No doubt that Percy did something similar to his, just less severe. 

As soon as the plane had landed and we were allowed to exit, Percy and I quickly grabbed the few bags we brought on with us and practically ran off the plane and into the airport. "Finally solid land." Percy said as soon as we were in the airport and out of the way before putting his bag on the floor and practically hugged it...Okay...My brother is insane.

"Hey, Perce, why don't you get up off the floor before someone notices?" I asked lightly kicking his side as I looked around for anyone who would be staring. Luckily no one had yet to notice my crazy little brother, but don't know how long that would last if he didn't stand up. "Percy!" I hissed through my teeth as I kicked him again, a little harder. "Perseus!" 

His head shut up from the floor and he glared up at me for using his full name. "Don't call me that."

"Well I will yell it, if you don't get up off the floor so we can get our bags and get out of here!" We glared at each other for a few seconds before he sighed and FINALLY got up off the floor. 

"There, happy?" He asked once he was standing again and brushed the dirt and crap from his clothes. 

"Yes, now let's go!" I ordered lightly pushing him toward the baggage claim area.
