Aquagirl (Fem. Percy x YJ)

Megan knocked on the door and waited. Soon enough, it opened revealing a woman in floral dressing gown.

"I'm not interested in anything you're selling."

"Actually, Ms Valdez, we want to ask you some questions about your nephew."

Immediately, her features twisted into a grimace. "Why would you want to know anything about that diablo?"

"Why do you call him a devil?" Connor asked.

"He's the reason my sister is dead!" The door was slammed in our faces without another word.

"Well, that went asterously." Robin sighed. "Come on."

We walked back to the Bioship, my fingers wrapped around Riptide. I glanced around one final time before walking up the ramp.

"What wrong babe? Think someone doesn't want us knowing what happened?"

"Megan, if it is not too much to ask, can you move my seat next to Kaldur's?"

"Sure."

I sat next to my brother, taking his hand.

"Where are we going next?" I asked, ignoring Kaldur as he drew patterns on the back of my hand.

"Tristan McLean." Robin replied. "Star of King of Sparta. Apparently his daughter was a bit of a kleptomaniac."

"Hey, what did that Rosa lady mean by Leo causing his mom's death?"

"Unless he was an arsonist I don't see how he could have. His mom died in a fire."

My hand tightened around Kaldur's.

"Well, we might as well kick back and enjoy the ride." Wally grinned and slouched in his seat.

I looked out the window at the clouds. I'm surprised Zeus hasn't tried to kill me yet.

And for once, there was no lightning afterwards.

Soon enough we were standing on the doorstep of one of Hollywood's biggest stars.

"Your turn, Artemis."

She sighed and pressed the button on the intercom.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"Um..." Artemis looked at Robin who gave a thumbs up. "Yes."

"Oh, you're the school group who wants to do a documentary on him aren't you? Cone on in."

The door opened and we walked inside. An air spirit floated over and Kaldur grabbed my arm.

"Hello my name is Mellie, Mr McLean will be with you shortly." She smiled before narrowing her eyes at me.

She shook her head and led us on a brief tour of the house. Which ended with us, sitting across from Piper's dad.

His eyes were red, but he managed a smile. "So you want to make a documentary about me?"

"Actually sir, we are assisting in the investigation of what happened in Athens." Kaldur spoke. "Anything you could tell us would be of great assistance."

"There's not much to tell. I didn't even know Pipes was in Athens. She was supposed to be at the Wilderness School."

"And why was that?"

"She had a habit of stealing stuff for attention and lying about it. She'd always say that she asked for it and they just gave it to her." He wiped his eyes. "I'm sorry, but her funeral is tomorrow and..."

"We understand. We will leave you be." Kaldur stood and the rest of us followed.

"That leaves the Chase family. Hopefully they know something..."
