Persia Jackson (ABANDONED)

Chapter Three

Thanks for the pic Kim! ;)

Forgetting about the danger she faced if she went back to her apartment, Percy vaporized back onto her bed. "Uggggh." She let out an un-ladylike groan as she took off her ring, taking the semi-painful change back to female. Before she could blink, Thalia and Annabeth both had her pinned down to the bed, arms and legs firmly clasped. Percy squeaked and tried to wriggle out of their hold, but to no avail, she was trapped. "Where were you?" Thalia's deathly voice chilled Percy to the bone. She may have been through Tartarus alone, but sometimes there are things even scarier than the depths of an ancient evil deity. "Out?" Percy winced at her weak attempt at humor, what would Leo say? Annabeth laughed cruelly. "And who said you could leave?" Percy scoffed, momentarily forgetting her danger. "It's a free country. I have rights. 'Murcia!" Percy tried to pump her arm to go with the chant, but then felt restriction since a certain daughter of Athena was holding her arm down. She might have let a little whine out, but Thalia completely ignored her. "Ok. Well, now I see that you're too deep in your watery head to realize that we're trying to help you. I'll just have to zap you out of it." Next thing you know, Percy is all charred and surrounded by burned sheets. "Aww, Pinecone Face, those were my favorite sheets." Annabeth laughed. "Seaweed Brain. Ok, come one Thals, let's dress Percy up." For the next two hours, all of Percy's neighbors prayed for her survival, already knowing of the tortures she was being dealt.

~ΨLet Us All Bow Our Heads For PercyΨ~

"No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I will not have you put makeup on me!" Thalia groaned at Percy's stubbornness, but relented. "Fine, but you have to keep those heels on the whole night then." Percy looked at Thalia, horrified. "No way. You can't expect me to stay in those death traps all night! Are you secretly plotting to kill me?" Thalia gave Annabeth a meaningful look and Annabeth slunk away, an evil glint in her eyes. While Thalia argued with Percy about what she was going to wear, Annabeth poured two bottles of super glue into Percy's heels and walked back into the dressing room. "Percy! You get those shoes on or I'm going to electrocute you so bad, your dad won't be able to tell your brain from actual seaweed!" Percy looked at Thalia and saw the mad gleam in her eye, bolted for the shoes. She quickly slipped them on, and only noticed the liquid in them once she got a pound to the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious. Percy fell into Annabeth's arms, and she grunted. "Percy really needs to lay off the blue pancakes. She's getting heavy." Thalia laughed. "We should have done this earlier. It's so much easier." Annabeth nodded and they began to replaced everything Percy was wearing with date worthy clothes, and maybe calling in a favor from Aphrodite. Soon, Percy was awake and being forced into a car that would take her to the 'special restaurant'. Percy groaned at the thought, but she pretended she didn't do such a thing, as it was not 'lady-like'. She was silently cursing Aphrodite in her head as the taxi driver looked at her in worry and desire. "So, young lady, what would you be doing out alone on this fine evening?" Percy lifted her head, blowing up the driver's mind with her beauty. "Well, I'm not alone. I've got my trusty fists here to keep off unwanted attention." She smirked into the mirror, playfulness and sass on full display, inwardly though, she was completely disgusted. She might be daft, but she could tell when someone was hitting on her. After not responding to the driver anymore, except maybe raising her fist once or twice, they arrived at their destination and Percy reached over, quickly swiped her lotus casino card through the machine, and high-tailed it out of the cab. When she enetered the restaurant, she silently cursed all of the gods sitting on their thrones watching this. Thunder rumbled in the distance. "Oh shut up, Drama Queen. I'm not in the mood." Percy quietly mumbled to herself as she fixed her accursed dress and reached the waitress table. "Hello." Percy smiled kindly, but a little nervously, at the red-head waitress behind the counter. "Hello. A party of one, Ma'am?" Percy shook her head. "No, my friends set me up on a blind date, and I don't know what table or when I am suppose to sit at. The table may be under Thalia, Annabeth, or Percy." The waitress looked at her tablet and squinted her eyes a bit as I got nervous. "Ah, yes. Right this way Ma'am." I smiled and followed her over to a booth at the back corner of the room, grateful to Thalia for at least giving me a good vantage point of the room.

~Reroute to Bat-cave, Same Time~

Big thing here. I know that Robin wasn't Batman's sidekick during, or at the end, of the Dark Knight Rising movie, but this is my book, so I'm going to change it up a bit (or a lot). Robin has been with Batman for a while now, but watched Batman in the shadows as an example, because he was still in the final stages of his training.
Batman was typing on the cave computer like a madman when Robin came swinging in. "Bruce, what's wrong? I've never seen you like this before. Shouldn't you be working to catch Bane?" Batman, now known as Bruce, only grunted in response, prompting Robin to walk over and check it out. "What are you researching?" Bruce was annoyed by Robin's pestering, but pointedly ignored him to continue his frantic searching for someone called Seabird. Robin looked at the screen and analyzed what was coming up in the codes. "You're looking for someone named Seabird?" Bruce didn't want Robin to interfere with his business, and promptly made up a valid reason for Robin to leave. "Dick, I don't think you are ready for this type of confidential information yet. Why don't you go to that new restaurant that you were talking about for some dinner. Give Alfred a brake from cooking." Dick didn't want to leave, but he did want to check out the new restaurant that opened up on the mainland. "Ok. But when I get balcony you have to tell me your results....... Or I could hack into your computer and get the results myself?" Bruce could feel a small sweat break out on the back of his neck, but the newly named Dick thought he looked angered by the statement. Bruce sighed and turned to Dick. "Very well, but I want you to take a bodyguard with you." Dick looked taken aback and horrified. "But Bruce, you're the one who wanted me to leave, who are you to make demands?" Dick smirked, knowing he had Bruce trapped. "True, but I'm Batman. I can just as easily implant a chip in you to always know where you are." Dick blinked, and jumped backwards. "You wouldn't." Bruce kept his face neutral. "Then take an earpiece. Dick sighed, and then nodded. Taking one off of the weapons wall and putting it in his ear. "See ya later Brucey." Dick quickly ran up the stairs to the mansion and hopped into a car that Alfred had already arranged. Seriously. Dick thought. Alfred is amazing.
