Percy Jackson meets Michael Vey

My Friend, Happy the Dragon

Leo POV:

I walked to the park, a minute or two late. If I'm going to look mysterious, I might as well own it. (Which I am totally doing!) 

(Leo, what did I tell you about breaking the wall!)

(Sorry Dee! I just can't help it!)

Back to the story now. I rolled a bronze suitcase to a park bench. I can say with 100% certainty that, along with my wicked black sunglasses, I looked awesome. I quickly searched the park, and saw three huddled between two park benches. One saw me coming, and they surged towards me. I held up my palm in a stop gesture, then motioned them to go back and sit. They slowly complied, eyeing me warily. When I reached them, I sat on the opposite bench, leaned Festus (Who was in suitcase form) by my feet, and then struck a nonchalant, but I'm sure awesome, pose.

I studied the three faces. The McKenna girl was looking a little nervous, tapping her finger on her knee. Ostin looked even more so, wringing his hands in his lap. The third face was a stranger to me, with dark, shaggy hair, intense eyes, and what looked like lichtenberg figures down his arms. Yeah, I know what those are. I heard Annabeth talking to a very bored Jason about them. I would have to be cautious around him.

"So, I understand you have some questions. And I have some too. Who's gonna start?" I said, breaking the silence. I fingered my tool-belt, then pulled out a mini-helicopter I was making from pipe cleaners. I fidgeted with it as they shared a silent conversation, then the third guy spoke.

"My colleague touched you, and you did not burn. How?" I smirked. I was expecting this.

"Magic." I told him, which earned me a cold stare.

"I thought you were giving us answers here." He accused me.

"I am." I replied. A strange look passed over his face. He contemplated the two words that I spoke, and I interrupted the silence. "So, my turn! What's up with the hot babe here?" I said, nodding towards McKenna.

Ostin's eyes grew wide, and if he was drinking something, I'm positive that he would've choked. Mystery dude's eyebrows arched, and he looked quite speechless. "You know, as in why her skin was about one-thousand degrees? Celsius?" I continued. 

Sighing, Mr. M began. "Well, it's kind of due to the fact that we were experiments for a crazed madman called Hatch. Now for my turn, I would like you to elaborate on the previous question." He said firmly. 

"Well, I really shouldn't seeing as how it would blow your little mortal brains." I said. He grew a confused look, and Ostin stared at my hands in shock. I looked down to see my helicopter burning, shedding a hot tar-like substance on my fingers, and just sliding off like my fingers weren't there to begin with. I leapt to my feet, and grabbed the suitcase handle. "Um, I should probably get going, otherwise my friends are going to blow a fuse. Tonight's Capture the Flag!" I started to move away, when Mystery man came closer to me.

"We want more answers, because we think that you," He said, then hesitated, "Might be like us."

I laughed, and tossed a Celestial Bronze nail at him. It passed through, just like I thought. "Well, there's no chance in that. I'll be going now." I backed away when his hands started glowing with lightning bolts. I realized what was happening immediately. He was controlling them, and if I didn't get the heck out of here at this very moment, I was going to get zapped with a ton of watts. 

"No, you're going to sit down, right now, and explain yourself." He said, electricity racing along his arms now. I was so stupid, not seeing his lichtenberg marks as signs of a power. I pushed Festus' release button, and chucked him into the air. I just added some mods to make him nearly weightless in that form. He would need a few seconds to open, so I had to stall.

"Actually, you and your friends aren't the only ones with special powers, enemies, or certain friends." I explained, hands raised. "But whatever you do, you never underestimate the Super Sized McShizzle!" I proclaimed, a grin on my face. I heard a loud thump from behind me, and then a loud roar. Festus was most likely behind me right now and poised to attack. I walked backwards so I could ride away, but a bolt of lightning raced from Sparky 2's fingers, and I spun away. Using my momentum, I formed a fireball and lobbed it at him when I came back around to face him. They all jumped away in shock, and I jumped on Festus, who launched himself into the inky black sky. I looked back, wondering why I first thought Sparky 2's name would be Michael.

Spoiler! It's because of alternate dimensions!

Sorry for not updating in a while, I was super busy! But I promise that I'll update more!

Yours in demigoddishness,
