Clark Kent's Demigod Daughter

Chapter 29: The date

Bruce rolled up to the Solace's home with a sigh of relief. He was lucky that he ordered a car without a driver. He didn't want to seem like he was flaunting his money around and scare his potential wife off.

Bruce followed Lady Aphrodite's advice in the letter that she had left behind. Bruce took a deep breath, got out of the car and walked up to the house door. Before Bruce could knocked he heard yelling. There was about five voices that Bruce could make out.

But there could be more if he waited long enough. When he knocked, Will Solace had answered it. The son of Apollo was dressed in old clothes and was covered in blue food dye and flour and had a blue dyed chocolate chip stuck on his forehead just above his left eyebrow.

He had neon green and and dark neon blue hair dye at the ends of his hair that looked like it was in need of washing out. His nails were painted black and looked like it had some sparkles on them. And it looked like Percy had written on his arm with sharpie to get ear, lip and eye piercings later.

Will looked a whole lot different then what Bruce had seen five and a half hours ago just off of Main Street.

"Hey Will." Bruce said nervously

"You nervous?" Will asked knowingly

"Is it that obvious?" Bruce asked

"I can see the sweat on your brow and you keep whipping your hands on your clothes. All signs of nervousness. You can't exactly tell me your not nervous with all that evidence." Will said

Bruce looked down a little. He couldn't lie or hide things from a child of Apollo. He learned the hard way with Roy when Oliver bring him over that first time.

"Come on in and don't mind the noises or the mess." Will said

Bruce walked in and saw what the home had to offer. It wasn't much, but it felt like home. Especially with the smells that were coming from the kitchen.

Bruce saw about five discarded hair dye boxes and tubes on the coffee table. There was an empty shampoo bottle and used gloves by the boxes and tubes. There was a fading smell of hair bleach lingering in the air. There were about three hairstylist bowls on the table with traces of dye and bleach that needed to be washed out.

There was also about four ratty old towels stained with dye and bleach piled on the floor next to a folding chair. There was so many colors on the towels to make Bruce think that they were used strictly for the hair dying process.

There was a piece of paper tapped onto the tv screen giving Percy and Will permission for the piercing parlor with both Clark's and Naomi's signatures. Saying that the two kids could get an one eye pierced, a lip piercing and up to 2 piercings in each ear.

"Oh, shut the fuck up Alabaster Torrington! And stop your whining right the fuck now!" Yelled Percy from the other room in her regal voice that she rarely used

"I thought Bruce was one of the delivery drivers from sushi haven or Chinese Palace." Yelled a voice that Bruce thought belonged to Alabaster Torrington

Bruce had met Alabaster only once before about a year and a half ago when he and a son of Ares were going back to camp after a quest. And it was for a short period of time. And the son of Hecate was unconscious for most of it.

"Alabaster you're just hungry! And you're a little bit too impatient for us to handle right now!" Will yelled back

"That's what I've been saying for the past ten minutes! He's like Hades fucken vacuum cleaner he uses for the Cerberus!" Percy yelled

Then there was this loud laugh followed by a snort coming from upstairs. It must be Naomi's laugh as all the talking was coming from the kitchen and living room.
