Detroit: Meet Percy Jackson *Complete*

Chapter 11: Mrs.O'Leary

October 30, 2038

"I don't know why we're here," Percy said softly, feeling much better now that the infection was all but gone.

"Because I've been talking to a person here since Paul death and I think this will help cheer you and your sister up. I know loosing Paul has been hard, but we'll get through it. Together," Elijah said as he lead Percy to the back of the room.

There, sitting in the middle of the room was a petite woman holding a soft pink leash. Sitting beside the woman calmly, even panting a little as the tail wagged back and forth softly, was a black Caucasian Shepherd Dog, standing calmly, but seemed aware of it's surrounds.

"This, is Mrs.O'Leary. No I didn't name her, but I think it works for her. She should be a good pet for you to have. She's fearless, bold, but I will say protective. So be careful of anyone you bring home. She will also more than likely be aggressive with anyone going into your house without you or someone she knows, but she is very well trained and will listen to your commands."

Percy didn't say anything as he slowly approached the dog and knelt in front of her. Raising his hand, he let her sniff it cautiously before her tail wagged softly and nudged it with her nose.

"Hello, Beautiful Girl," Percy said softly, his hands raking through her fur.

She scooted closer to Percy and Elijah just knew, that getting Percy the dog would help him. He saw the smile on his friends face and knew that his mind has retreated from the shadows for now.

"She's amazing, can you tell me more about her breed?" Percy asked as the man and dog seemed to instantly click together.

"They were breed initially to kill Bears, so she's got some power on her. Underneath all the power are good house pets that are very loyal. So, like I said be careful with who you bring into the house.

Percy nodded as he scratched Mrs.O'Leary's neck and watched her fall in love with him.

The smile on his own face showed how much he was falling in love with her. "She's amazing, thank you Elijah!" Percy said happily as he grabbed the leash the lady was indicating for him to grab.

"We will need to stop by Pet Smart and grab some things, but she should fit right into your weird family," Elijah said as he lead the man and dog out of the building.

"Sounds good. How did you know my apartments take pets?" Percy asked curiously.

Elijah looked sheepish in his reply, "I might've gone down to your landlord ready to be bribe them if they didn't. Go for us that they do and she didn't seem to mind he large dog as long as they were well trained."

Percy laughed at Elijah's reply because it was such an Elijah thing to do. "Alright, lets get this big girl home sooner then later. Plus some research I'll need to do," Percy said as the duo and dog made their way to the closest pet shop.

The first time Markus met Mrs.O'Leary surprisingly wasn't with Carl.

Carl wanted to paint in order to get ready for the art museum he was opening in the next few months and was feeling inspirational, at least that was his excuse.

So, Markus went to Percy's apartment alone. Knocking on the door, there was a deep woof that resounded and some giggling before the door opened to reveal a ten year old small girl with brown hair and bright blue eyes

"Markus!" Estelle said excitedly as she hugged the unsuspecting Android.

They only met very few times, but the times they had Estelle seemed to imprint on Markus and had a habit of wanting to be just like him or her big brother.
