I'm so sorry everyone! I was at band camp and then I had practice after school and finally it's calming down. We don't have a game this week so I finished this chapter! Sorry again for the wait! And to make up for it here's an extra long chapter!
August 16
Percy POV
Being a hero in training was exhausting! Why? Diana. She is soo overprotective! I mean the get that she doesn't want me to die, but I'm not some newbie! I've been on two dangerous quest that decided the fate of my entire family!Diana has been stalling my first patrol for ages now! I really just want to go make a difference, but she doesn't let me! And what am I doing now? Practicing the basics in hand to hand!
You see, it was fun at first. Diana's penthouse apartment has secret rooms and superhero stuff everywhere. Now though I'm over it and want some action! Not even a villain, just one lousy patrol!
I was cut out of my thoughts suddenly by a blaring siren. I remembered Diana telling me that meant a super villain attack. Wait. A super villain! This is my chance to prove myself! Let's go!
I rushed to my room and started throwing on my costume. The costume had gold shoulder plates with a triton engraved on the upmost plate. I also had gold gauntlets that were about an inch or two shy of my elbow. My breast plate was sea green with the gold Wonder Woman symbol lining the top. The belt also had the WW symbol on it and had a place for my lasso to hook on. There was also 3 sea green plates past the belt to protect my sides and umm delicate areas.
Underneath the armor though I had a thin, but protective black Kevlar under armor. It was so amazing! It didn't hinder my movement at all! I also had a pair of sea green lace up combat boots that ended a bit before my knees.
The most magical part of my costume though is my gold Amazon tiara! I didn't like it that much at first, but it has the ability to cloak my face so no one knows my identity unless I tell them. Then the confusion magic-iky mist thingy will lift and they can put my name to my face!
(I do not own the picture above in any way. This is what I based Percy's superhero outfit on so here's a visual because I suck at describing things.)I rushed to the the bikes (yes we have bikes because you can't always rely on magic powers). And guess what? She left without me! Again! Welp D I'm coming like it or not! I thought as I slipped on my black helmet with a reflective visor.
I revved the engine and tore out of the garage. I looked at the holo-screen on the windshield, and the fight was close. Time to shine!
I turned the corner and saw a sight that did not bode well. Diana was pinned. I saw red as I made a stupid, oh so stupid decision. I rammed my bike into the Hollywood reject of a cat. She went flying, but she flipped landing on her feet. Stupid Cats!
(Can you guess who they're fighting?)
She wasn't heading back to us thought, she was heading towards the civilians! Oh no lady! I thought with determination I would stop her, she would not harm them. I had a nagging feeling in my head sort of like when I knew to use a certain move in a fight. My demigod instincts were trying to do something, so I decided to give in. They hadn't lead me astray so far.
My mouth opened as a song came out a song that sounded unlike anything I'd ever heard. I noticed a glazed quality start to show itself if the faces around me. What was I doing?
No time to think this cat was getting de clawed or so help me dad. I poured this emotion into the song coming out of my mouth and then she passed out. My song stopped as soon as she went down.
Suddenly, a camera was shoved into my face questions flying at me.
"How did you take down Cheetah?"
"Do you work with Wonder Woman?"
"Are you a hero?"
"Who are you?"
I looked at the mob surrounding me. The endless flashes and clicks as I took a breathe.
"Call me Siren," I said as I turned away to give the tied up villain to the cops.
-————————-Time Skip————————-
I couldn't believe it even after we handed the second rate cat over to the cops. I was lost in the after glow. Adrenaline still pumping through my veins. I then winced as I looked at a solemn Diana standing on the roof overlooking the street full of sirens.
I sighed as I jumped onto the fire escape. Vault to the ledge and now use that wire to flip over the roof. And shoulder role upon impact. I winced as I got up, readying myself for the tongue lashing I was sure to get.
Diana turned towards me. The sun behind outlines her in shades of gentle colors. The banner of our homeland shone behind her proclaiming her as a child of the gods.
"You are ready."
