Andromeda

"Ah! Princess, you are the smart one, aren't you? I think Athena gave you just a touch too much, don't you think?" Ares smiled at me.
"Asshat." I rolled ny eyes.
"Andromeda!" Annabeth nearly fainted.
"What? I said hat!" I glared at him.
"Sorry, Princess, as much as I care about you, and I do, all of you have to die. Nothing personal, Dove." He pouted sarcastically.
"Is he hitting on her?" Grover asked Annabeth.
"You do realize I hold some of everyones powers, that includes you." I growled at him.
"Darling, I wouldn't dare to harm you, but them I will."
"Stop with the stupid pet names!" I snapped.

Percy

"Stop with the stupid pet names!" She snapped at Ares. I couldn't tell if she was brave or just stupid... maybe both. Her blue hair shot high into the air life a fire, and seemed to crackle like one as well.
"Calm down, Princess." Ares slowly started to back away from her as a giants tsunami sized wave crawled higher behind her like a shadow, growing with her bright blue hair.
"It's your fault that we're in this mess. It's your fault that we've almost died a few times. It's your fault that the God's are all angry at each other. It's your fault that we can't get his mom back!" She continued to list off things that probably weren't actual his fault, but with each one her hair got brighter, hotter, and higher along with the wave.
She was passed.
"And it's your fault that I'm going to kill you." She whispered, deadly calm as Ares coward away from her powers. "Now, if you want to go home with just your tail bets your legs and a bit of your pride dampened, I'd suggest that you hand over the helm, and tell me who took the bolt." Her eyes were glowing with rage.
"Take the helm, but you'll have to find out who stole the bolt on your own. No- wait-!" He tossed the helm to her before the tsunami grabbed him and yeeted him beyond the eye can see. She slowly released the water and her hair fell softly against her back, still flickering with light, but no longer burning.
"What-? How?" Annabeth asked.
"Long story." She smiled shyly.
"Where did you throw him?" I asked as her, once again, dark blue eyes meet my green ones.
"Oh, yeah... uh, I'm pretty sure... he's back at Olympus... I might have thrown him farther. I'm still kinda new to these powers." She said as her eyelids grew heavy and she dropped like a sack of potatoes. I quickly caught her and scooped her up into my arms.
The sound of leathery wings was the last thing I wanted to hear. I groaned an looked at the Fury, but it didn't attack. She/it/whatever said that it saw everything. I tossed the helm to it and told it to tell Hades the truth. After that, we were taken to a police station before we got on a plane, that the people of Los Angeles paid for, that took us back to New York. Andromeda was still asleep in my arms.
When we landed, I didn't want to give her over to Annabeth and Grover, but I had to take the bolt to Zeus. Just before I had got into a taxi, Andromeda woke up and slid in next to me without a word.
"To the Empire State Building." She said as I gaped at her. "You're going to catch flies." She smirked before shutting my mouth with her fingers and before I knew it, we were at the Empire State Building.
"600th floor, Please." She said to the guy at the desk.
"No such thin-" He started before he looked over and saw her.
"600th floor, please." She tried again as the poor guy went pale and shook as he grabbed the keys and practically ran to the elevator to open it for her.
"Right this way, My lady." He bowed to her as we walked in.
"Do I need to call you Princess now?" I smiled at her.
"No, never call me that." She stated as the air became awkward. "For you, I'll always be just Andromeda." She fluttered her eyes at me as a soft blush dusted her cheeks.
"Ok, Andromeda." I smiled as my neck started to warm up, her pretty blue eyes sparkling softly under the dull light of the elevator.
I thought about how pretty she was, knowing if I said it aloud, she'd probably punch me, until the soft ding of the elevator sounded and the doors opened. I almost had a heart attack as I looked down to see Manhattan from the height of an airplane. I stepped back until Andromeda's hand slipped into mine.
"It's ok." She promised. "I won't let you fall." She said before we stepped out onto the stone walk way over the city, through Olympus, and into the throne room.
"Princess." A voice boomed. "We've been expecting your arrival."
