I sighed and pulled the towel tighter around me.
Dam it Kaldur.
Why'd you have to 'save' me?
Speaking of him, he sat down next to me and handed me a bottle of water.
"I'm not thirsty." I mumbled, sitting it down.
But he forced it back into my hand. "You are probably dehydrated. Please drink."
Dick walked over too, with Wally following.
"Come on Percy. Drink it. It's not gonna hurt you." He said, crossing his arms.
"Fine." I grumbled and took a sip.
I understand that other people would be dehydrated...but I'm not like them.
"Good. We're gonna go grab some food from the cabin. Be back soon." Those two ran off.
I yawned.
"Are you tired?" Kaldur questioned me.
Shrugging, I looked out over the water. "Depends. Do I want to sleep? No. Do I want to murder those two? Yes."
"Why is that?"
"I'm willing to bet they're gonna try to prank me. And I am so not in the mood for a prank war."
"I would not be willing to take that bet. As you are probably right."
I looked over at him. "I have a question. Is your hair naturally blond?"
He smiled slightly and nodded. "It is."
"That's cool."
He sighed and looked towards Artemis, Megan, and...are they seriously burying Connor?
"Yeah. I guess it is."
I knew that tone of voice. Hades, I've used it more than once when talking about my eyes.
And trust me when I say I've heard...nope not gonna think about her. Not gonna through that flashback again.
"It really is cool Kaldur. It suits you."
"Thank you." He looked at me and actually smiled.
"No problem. Now where are those two at? I'm starved."
At that moment, Dick decided to tackle me.
Or should I say attempted.
Cause I moved quickly to the side, making him land face first in the sand.
And ended up with me pressed against Kaldur.
"What the hell Percy!? Are you a cat?!"
"I've been called a hyperactive dolphin." I shrugged before realizing how close Kaldur and I were.
Which caused me to start blushing like crazy.
"Sorry." I mumbled moving away.
"It's okay." He said, slightly flustered.
"Anyway..." Dick said, elbowing Wally, who was snickering. "Here."
He handed me a bag of chips.
"Thanks." I opened the bag and shoved a handful into my mouth.
Then I noticed they were staring at me.
"What?" I tilted my head and swallowed. "Never seen anybody eat chips before?"
Dick sighed and shook his head. "It's nothing Percy. You just don't seem like the type to do that."
"Well you sir are sadly mistaken." I gave a small smile.
Then I quickly ate the rest of the chips. "Uh...do we have any other trash? I'll run it over to the can."
"I've got it." Wally took it and ran off, at normal speed.
Normal for any other human that is.
"Hey Kaldur. Want to spend the night?"
"Is Mr Wayne okay with this?" He quickly glanced at me.
"Yep. He said you and Wally could both stay."
"Didn't he literally-"
"Shush."
I grinned and covered his mouth with my hand. "Yes. Hush child."
He rolled his eyes before licking my hand.
I simply shrugged. "I mean it's gross but not the worst thing that's happened to me."
Dick pried my hand off of his face. "Like what?"
"Let's see... I almost got a swirly but then the plumbing was backed up and the toilet exploded."
"I'm not sure what part I would be more concerned about." Kaldur tilted his head.
I waved a hand. "Neither. I'm friends with the girl now. She's fun."
"Uh guys. I think we might want to head in." Wally said.
"Why-" My cousin began to ask but thunder rumbled, cutting him off.
The previously calm sea was rough, and dark clouds were covering the sky.
"Oh. Yeah."
I sighed. Knew this was going to happen.
"Last one to the cabin is a rotten egg." I said before taking off, throwing the towel and a very surprised Connor.
"Thanks! Sorry! And get inside!" I yelled, not slowing.
We were only partway to the cabin when the rain started pouring. The wind whipped around me, actually knocking me over.
Dam.
I hope he doesn't start a hurricane.
Again.
Throwback to when I was twelve.
"Are you okay!?" Kaldur yelled, shielding me, not that it matters.
"I'm good! Where's the others?!"
The pale green eyed teen looked around. "Don't know! Let's hope they are already at the cabin!"
I nodded and stood, now prepared for the wind.
I think.
Another gust hit me and I fell against Kaldur.
Okay...
I swear this is just Zeus messing with me now.
"Hold onto me!" Kaldur lifted me up and started running towards the cabin.
Judging by the fact the wind didn't go out of its way to knock him over I'm chalking that part up to Zeus.
When we finally reached the cabin, key word finally, I was ready for a hot shower and some food.
Hey! I'm hungry. Don't judge.
I knocked on the door.
No answer.
I knocked harder.
Then Bruce opened the door.
"You okay?"
"Cold, wet, and humiliated by the wind. But yep. I'm good." I walked in, accepting the towel Bruce handed me.
He then raised an eyebrow.
"She was knocked over twice." Kaldur spoke.
"Hello Kaldur. Dick and Wally are in the kitchen." He handed him a towel as well.
Guess they did make it back.
That's good.
"I'm going to get a shower. And tell the boys if the try to prank me I will murder them and disfigure their bodies so badly not even you could recognize them."
"Noted."
I walked upstairs and grabbed some clothes out of my suitcase and stepped into the bathroom.
Stripping out of my swim clothes I turned on the water, relaxing as it washed over me.
This is a lot better.
I washed off quickly before grabbing the shampoo and lathering my hair.
I rinsed it and stepped out, using my powers to dry off, before getting dressed.
I could hear something going on downstairs.
"Wally!!"
Welp. Sorry if this is crap.
I'm not even gonna lie, I had like ten different versions of this but I deleted it and rewrite and ugh
But I don't know how much I'll update this week.
I really don't feel like writing two while chapters for tomorrow.
And normally I would but I have to work the concession stand tomorrow and we had the day off so the high school has blizzard bags. So...ugh.
And...
I'm bored as heck. Like I'm bored to where nothing sounds like a good thing to do
But not bored enough to clean my room
So see yah.
