I Am Not Your Sidekick

Hey percy, why are you ducktaped to the backseat of the batmobile?

I know what you are going to ask: "hey percy, why are you ducktaped to the backseat of the batmobile?"

Well, the truth is tha t I don't know. 

Ok, so maybe I annoyed the bat a bit, but in return,  I got a glare from Robin and batman and I got ducktaped to the backseat of the car.

Talk about being a bit overreactive!

Batman insisted on talking me to the 'batcave,' as they call it, to examine my strengths and weaknesses.

So yeah, I wasn't being very cooperative tonight, but who would be if they lost litteraly everything they had in the last two nights?

Batman would be the last person you'd want to talk to if you were in my situation.

Batman and robin weren't really tall like me, so the car's roof was fairly low. Everytime we hit a speed bump,  my head would hit the roof of the car and I would groan in protest.

Even in the dark car, I could sense Robin grinning like a fool.

Stupid short people...

What's worse, is that there wasn't a single drop of water in the car, so I couldn't even plot my escape from them.

Stupid non-water drinking people...

They run around all night, picking fights with petty criminals and they don't even have a bottle of water in the car? Unbelievable!

Finally,  we slowed down and the car drove into a hidden path at the side of the road and went through a waterfall and into a cave. They talked all the way in.

The cave was dimly lit and bats hung on the ceiling,  where the lights didn't bother them.

"Hmph phmph phmph?" I asked, forgetting that my mouth was ducktaped shut. How I forgot that, I don't know.

Robin looked back at me, smiling mischievously.

"Should I untape him?" He asked batman.

"Not yet. He'll just start talking again. As soon as we stop, you knock him out. We can talk when he wakes up." Batman growled.

What was it with him? Was he just always angry? I mean, seriously! It can't be good for you to be angry all the time!

"Besides, we have a party to attend upstairs." He said. I rolled my eyes. Seriously? What is it with land dwellers and parties? They aren't even that great! I've attended a few partys on land with my mother when I was a kid and theg sucked. 

There were plastic bags full of the host's breath and stuff that looked like sea sponges covered in toothpaste. And don't even get me started on what they threw down their throats for drinks! It was basically coloured water with tons of sugar. It even looked gross. I had told my mom that it was a stupid party and that I wanted to go home. The undersea parties at my dad's palace were way better.

"Hmph phmph pmph!" I said again, trying to get their attention as we came to a stop.

"This guy is annoying!" Robin complained. I couldn't help but think 'well, duh! That's the whole point!'

So, realising they weren't going to answer, I shut up and sat back, finally relaxing. 

We finally came to a stop and batman was out within seconds. Robin, on the other hand, took his sweet time of getting me out and then guess what happened?

He tazed me in the neck until I  lost consciousness! Unbelievable,  I know!
