I giggled. This is going to be so fun.
What's going to be fun?
I'm going to go to the aquarium...and I know for a fact that the Team is going to be there.
Like they literally sent me a message asking if I wanted to go.
I told them that I had something to do.
Which is me messing with them.
"What are you so happy about?" Bruce questioned, looking up from his plate.
"I'm planning my revenge."
"Do I dare ask why?"
"It's better if you don't. But uh...if you happen to have any stink bombs...can I have some?"
"Hey, I'm gonna head over to the aquarium. I'm supposed to meet the rest of the Team there." Dick stood up and slipped a pair of sunglasses on.
"Have fun." I didn't even look at him.
Cause if I did he'd probably figure something was up.
My cousin walked out of the room.
And then I stood up. "I'm gonna go get changed and head out. I'll go out the window. So you can say you didn't know anything."
I walked to my room, leaving a flabbergasted Bruce behind.
At least I think flabbergasted describes it.
I don't really care.
Once in my room I changed into you know clothes.
I'm not gonna go to the aquarium in freaking pajamas.
But anyway...it was just a short moment before I was gone from my room and inside the aquarium.
I'm not paying just to mess with them.
Not like I can't just go out into the ocean to sea these animals.
Hello my Lady!
Lady Perseus!
Will you sign my fin?!
I chuckled lightly and dismissed them with a wave of my hand.
"Easy guys. I'm just here to pull some pranks. Please don't blow my cover."
I whispered that of course. I don't need to end up explaining that do I?
I sat on one of the benches, watching people walk by.
This place isn't really that crowded. But it's still only eight thirty. More people will probably show up after they get off work, weekdays are fun.
And then my targets approached.
Megan was staring at the colorful fish that swam past in awe.
"They're so cool."
"They're fish. They're cold-blooded." Wally said.
Artemis sighed and smacked him. "You know that isn't what she meant."
"Maybe she meant it both ways!"
"Why on Earth would she-"
"Enough. We are here to enjoy the day. Not to argue." Kaldur broke up the two of them up.
"Are we just going to stick together or are we going to split up?" Dick questioned.
"I believe we should each see what we want. Meet back here at twelve so we can go get lunch."
Then the entire team split up, Dick and Wally, Megan and Connor, and Artemis went off by herself.
But Kaldur?
He simply stared at the fish in front of him.
Hey, can you guys do me a favor?
What is it?! We want to help!
I quickly told them what I wanted them to do.
And they happily obliged.
"What is-" Kaldur trailed off.
At this point I was already behind him, and I wrapped my arms around him.
He tensed. And can I just say I knew he was going to try to flip me.
"Calm down. It's just me." I mumbled.
"Percy?"
Kaldur turned around and smiled down at me.
"What are you doing here?"
I rolled my eyes. "Daughter of Poseidon. Duh. Plus I knew you guys were gonna be here. So I was gonna mess with Wally."
"Please do not make him question his sanity."
I smiled. "No promises."
Kaldur returned the smile before taking my hand and entwining his fingers with mine.
Which honestly felt kinda weird, since his were webbed and all. I wonder if this is uncomfortable for him?
"So, what do you want to see first?" He asked.
"Um, maybe...how about you choose?" I can't choose.
That would be showing favoritism wouldn't it?
I don't want to do that.
"This way." Kaldur lead me past exhibits.
Until we arrived at a tank filled with...
Undersea creatures.
Which was a total surprise. I thought there'd be some monkeys in there.
Hello my Lady!
I smiled slightly.
Hello.
"They are talking to you?"
"They usually do. I mean it comes in handy sometimes. But other times, it can give me a headache. Not that often though."
Well. That's a lie. I get one everytime I go somewhere where there are a ton of fish.
Like aquariums.
But, this will be so worth it.
"You have a headache right now don't you?"
"Pfft. What kinda girl would I be if I couldn't deal with fish arguing over my attention?"
Also, I didn't lie about that too well.
Or maybe I might have ended up sounding sarcastic.
Cause Kaldur pressed his lips to my forehead. "Percy, please do not lie about this stuff. I want to help you."
I groaned. "It's a headache Kaldur!"
"Hey Percy? Why are you here?" Dick asked from behind us.
"Got bored." I pulled my hand away from Kaldur's and turned around.
And I kinda wiped my hand on my pants. Why do hands have to get all sweaty?
"Cool."
"Wait up Rob!" Wally ran over, at human speed.
And immediately slipped and fell.
Before you blame me... there's a wet floor sign right there.
He was okay though. Which I was thankful for.
Cause if he was hurt I couldn't carry out my plan.
"What kinda fish are those?" He asked getting up.
"There's a lot in there Wal-"
"Gilthead seabream, annular seabream, common seabream, striped seabream, ornate wrasse, Mediterranean rainbow wrasse..." I trailed off at all the looks they gave me. "What? Can't a girl know a bunch of fish by their physical appearance?"
Guys. Whenever the redhead boy is looking at you but the others aren't...can you guys do something that will make him think he's crazy?
Of course!
"That's kinda weird." Dick said slowly. "But-"
"What the heck?! Look at this!"
Wally turned us to look at the tank.
"What the... I swear they were just making a picture."
"They're fish Wally."
"Yeah but so were the one in Finding Nemo!"
"Finding Nemo?" Dick asked confused.
I stared at him. "You've never seen Finding Nemo? We need to fix that."
Then I looked at Wally, who was looking back at the tank.
Where some fish were literally pulling something right out of the movie.
Which is pretty impressive considering there are only like forty fish in this tank.
"Look!"
But by the time the other's had turned around the fish were back to their usual habits.
"They're fish Wally."
"But-"
"They are fish Wally."
Dick grabbed his friend and drug him away.
Kaldur started walking and I followed him...and we ended up in the shark tunnel.
Little kids were pressed against the acrylic, gazing at the sharks swimming by.
At least until they all noticed me and started to swim alongside me as I walked through the tunnel.
Guys, I appreciate the attention. But you're going to raise some questions.
And after that, they thankfully left me alone.
"What did you do to Wally?" Kaldur asked.
"Finding Nemo is such a good movie isn't it?"
"You did not."
"Did too."
He laughed. "Hopefully he does not believe that he is going insane."
Kaldur's mood quickly shifted and he pulled me into a service corridor.
"What is it?" I whispered.
He looked around the corner and sighed. "Nothing. I thought I heard somebody who doesn't exactly like the Team."
"Relax Kaldur. We're in an aquarium. Do you have any idea how much energy I can draw from here?"
Okay sure the last time I was in an aquarium I wasn't able to draw on much energy.
But blame that on Porky.
Frank though...
I shook my head. Nope.
Not gonna...
Schist.
Come on come on come on!
That's what I repeated to myself as I struggled to free myself from this stupid trap.
I gotta help them take down the giants.
But unfortunately mazes are not my strong suit.
This is seriously the fourth dead end I've came to.
And if you're wondering why I just don't use water to lift me out...
When I first got stuck in here...I threw some up in the air...
Let's just say...not gonna work to well.
Sighing I turned around and ran, trying to remember which way I've already been.
That was when I ran across a certain archer.
"Frank?"
"Thank gods Percy. I've been looking for a way out did you find one?"
I shook my head.
He sighed. "This place isn't that big. I don't think there is an exit... except for up."
"Uh uh. Nope. When stuff gets to high it gets obliterated Frank."
"Well, I'm pretty sure we have a chance getting out if we do than if we don't. And how did you even survive the fall?"
"Water. You?"
"Bird. Now we need to get back to the surface. Before Dirt Face decides to crush us."
His body started to grow and shift until a dragon stood infront of me.
Frank knelt down and allowed me to climb on his back.
Would this be considered a piggy back ride or a dragon back ride?
"You know if you would have done a pegasus we could actually talk right?"
Frank looked back at me and rolled his eyes. Then he flapped his wings and shot up into the sky.
And I have to admit he did a pretty good job dodging whatever the Hades was being shot at us.
Then the exit came into view, a hole in the side of the wall, about fifty feet above the ground.
That was when Frank started having trouble.
He shifted his form to a pegasus. I can't keep going much longer Percy.
"Yes you can Frank. We're almost there."
And we made it. Frank touched down and immediately reverted to his normal shape.
"Ugh." He groaned, breathing heavy.
"Come on Frank we need to-" There was a huge rumbling sound, and I looked out from the cave.
Oh no.
"Come on Frank! We need to go!" I tried to pull him up.
He shook his head."I'll just slow you down. Go. I should be able to-"
"No."
"Go!"
"Frank come on! Don't-"
But he already made up his mind. He tossed me a pouch and shifted back to a dragon, his frame filling the entire entrance.
He glared at me and gestured with his head to run.
I nodded, but before I went I pressed a kiss to his snout.
What? He's basically my brother.
And then I ran.
I was almost to the surface when the earth shook.
And the passage started to collapse.
So I sprinted the rest of the way, the bag growing warmer in my hand.
I threw myself out of there just in time, with the passage collapsing right behind me.
I opened up the pouch...and saw ash.
