Groaning I buried my face in Kaldur's pillow.

Canary will not allow Batman to send me on missions until Kaldur and I work through our differences. Meaning I am stuck here while they are out helping people.

Of course, I needed something to do while being stuck here and that something happened to be breaking into Kaldur's room and writing kick me on the back of all of his shirts.

I also may or may not have placed hair dye in his shampoo.

And...no, that was everything.

I slowly got up. Maybe I should do a little exploring. I never got a chance to earlier and Megan never gave me the tour she said she would.

I found the library, which is one Annabeth...would be...proud of...

I shook my head and moved on, eventually finding myself in the girl's shower room.

A smile appeared on my lips and I turned a few of them on. I gathered the falling water into a sphere, turning off the showers only when the ball was as big as my torso.

I sat on the ground, letting my mind wander, letting my thoughts control the water's shape.

Which might have been a bad idea, but no one has ever accused me of having too many good ones.

The water swirled around me, occasionally shooting towards a wall then back to me.

I don't know how many times I let the water do that, I have no idea how many times I purposely did that. All I'm trying to do is not think.

Trying not to focus on...

No. Don't think about it.

But it was too late, the thoughts having forced their way into my mind.

I pulled my knees to my chest, burying my face in them.

"No..."

I stood in what I assumed to be a room, eyes unable to pick up on anything.

"Hello?"

My voice echoed more than it should have.

I took a careful step forward, hand reaching for Riptide...only to discover I was not wearing the clothing I should be if this was on land.

"Percy?!"

My eyes widened and I took off in the direction of the voice.

"Help us!"

I skidded to a stop. That voice is coming from... where I just was?

I turned around and headed back to the room I was just in, something cracking under my feet.

"Hello? Is anybody here?"

I looked around the room, trying to find whoever had called for me.

"Percy..."

I whipped around. There was no one there.

"Help us Percy help us. You have to save us. Please..."

I slowly backed up until my back hit the wall.

"Where are you?" My voice shook as well as my hands.

"We're right here Percy...can't you see us?"

"No. No I can't see you." My eyes darted around the room. Where are they?

I heard something move, my gaze shifted in the direction.

A figure started picking itself up off of the ground, followed by more and more until the room was filled with them.

"Save us Percy, you can do it. You need us to be alive." One of them lurched towards me, revealing sagging skin, bone burns and rot.

"You need us. Like we need you." Another one staggered forward, revealing a half melted face.

"Save us!" The chant took up among the group as they pressed forward, voicing growing louder and louder until they were screaming at me.

My feet pushed helplessly at the floor. I was desperate to get away, desperate to get away from their cold clutching hands, from their hollow gazes, from the deafening shouting.

All of a sudden it stopped.

"You want us alive don't you? Then you'll find a way to save us." A single voice rasped. "You'll save all of us."

"Percy, you're the strongest out of all of us. If anyone can save us...it's you."

"Stop it." I mumbled, feeling them start to tug on me again.

"You'll keep us safe...you won't let us die will you?"

"Stop it." I said louder.

"If you let us die, you'll be a failure. You won't be a hero anymore. Just a failure. So save us. Please."

"Be our hero!" That became the new chant as I sunk to my knees.

"Stop it!!!"

Something touched my shoulder and I lashed out, punching something warm.

"Percy."

My eyes slowly focused, leaving me staring at Kaldur.

"Are you real?" My voice came out as a whisper. "If you are not, kill me now and be done with it."

" I am adding poor control of powers to the reasons that you should not be here."

I groaned. This is real. "What did I do?"

"You completely destroyed the plumbing in the entire Cave. Zatara is currently evaporating all the water that has flooded in." He stood up before roughly grabbing my arm and hoisting me up. "You are lucky all electrical equipment was out of the water's reach."

"Lucky, is that not the story of my life?" I rolled my eyes.

"You could have killed the entire Team!"

"From what our king says, you could have as well when you found Connor! You are supposed to be the mature one Kaldur, yet you ran off with Wally and Robin just because the League did not want you in danger!"

"We were trained to fight!"

"And so am I! We both know that if I aimed to, I could kill you right where you stand and believe this Kaldur'ahm. I am close to aiming for that."

Welp

Guess who has a project due on Friday and has barely started on it? Or the one due on Monday next week?

Or the one for government that I literally got Friday and can't do much with until he approves a rough draft?

And also...

Just kinda gonna sit here

Because instead of asking ideas...

Guesses?

Honestly I think it kinda fun not giving you guys the summary.

Because like the Frozen Sea you can assume Percy has some other powers

Masquerade you can assume she's a villain

But this one?

You don't know what to expect so I think it's kinda cool to see what you actually think is going on her so I can be like

Oh that's pretty close

Or

That can't be further from my plan

Which I mean...some of your guesses...are....

Heh. You really think I'm gonna tell you if they're close or not?

Where would the fun be in that?

See yah
