First of all lets make one thing very clear, Percy was not scared. He wasn't afraid, are we clear on this? Good because that is a very big point to all of this. After all if Percy was scared would he have went and had Leo come along with him to check on the girls? Of course not, because if Percy had been scared then he would have known that Leo would have been no help whatsoever in a tense situation that maybe involved having to save a whole group of demi-god girls.
Truth be told when Percy first heard the loud crash coming from Piper's room he dismissed it thinking that Piper's cornacopia was acting up and shooting honey glazed hams at the wall again [yes again, it was an unfortuate cycle] But when Percy heard it again a few short minutes later he started to think something was up. He didn't hear any screaming or sounds of distress but on the other hand Piper wasn't the sort to scream or show weakness if it came to a fight so it could have very well been that she was just being strong.
Percy knew he shouldn't be thinking like this, that it was most likely nothing and that if he was to burst into Piper's room she would skin him alive but at the moment Percy thought that sounded like a fair price to pay if it meant making sure one of his friends was safe....but then again, Piper was a very strong girl and Percy was sure that if it came to a fight he wouldn't be able to hit her. Even if he wasn't a total gentlemen his knees did go slightly weak when he saw her brillany multi-colored eyes shifting like gems in the light. Sure she was no Annabeth by far but Percy did have to admit she was an attractive girl.
So if Percy was to do this, if he had to go save her he wasn't going to do it on his own. Getting down from his bed he pulled a faded blue hoodie over his unruly black hair and for a moment closed his eyes and smiling at the faint scent of his mothers laundry detergent that still lingered on the faded jacket. Then after checking his pockets for Riptide Percy crept into the hallway and pondered his choices in a partner. His first choice would have been Annabeth but he didn't want her thinking he was being overparanoid or nervous, and if something happened Percy would be too busy making sure Annabeth was safe to be much help in a fight. And Hazel just seemed to timid and frail to be much help [even Percy knew she could be as scary as hell itself at some times] Frank was too awkward and loud, not to mention Percy didn't want him to be accidently turning into hippos and badgers while Percy was trying to help Piper. Jason was clearly off the list. No matter how strong and brave he was Percy didn't need Mr. Perfect Superman going in and saving the day and stealing Percy's spotlight, even if Piper was his girlfriend.
Dimmly a small voice in the back of Percy's head told him that if Piper really was in trouble then he was taking much too much time and she could already be in trouble by now but Percy ignored the small voice trying to think of what he had to do. A small frown hovered over his lips as he pondered the last two choices he had available on the ship.
Going into the living space below deck Percy found to his surprise both of his canidates. Leo was sitting at the table his curls stuck to his face with sweat and grime and a whole mess of gears and other metal tools that made Percy's ADD infected brain go giddy. Leo hardly looked up when Percy came in but that was no surprise. When Leo was focused on a project nothing short of Gea rising up and smashing the boats to bits would tear away his focus.
Nico was sitting in an arm chair with his knees drawn up and his arms crossed under his chin. His dark eyes were blank as he looked at the ships enchanted windows that showed scenes from Camp Half-Blood. The strawverry fields were dark and the dark green vines were started to get costed in frost the berries losing their vibrant color. Glanicng at his watch made for him by Tyson Percy's cyclops half brother he spoke aloud.
"It's almost mid-night. When are you two going to sleep?" His real question was what were they doing in the same room alone? Leo and Nico were exact oppaistes of each other, the only thing they had in common at all was size and it was clear Nico was going to pass Leo in that once he got older.
Leo's bright eyes darted upwards and he seemed to notice Percy for the first time. "Oh hey." He said wiping a sweaty palm across his nose and leaving a streak of oild making it look like he had an overgreased mustache. "What are you doing up?"
Percy shifted uncomfortably. "I heard something in Pipers room. A thump."
Leo went blank faced then slowly his elfish features turned up and he snorted covering his mouth. "You should probably leave her alone in your hearing bumps from her room at this time of night."
His face going red Percy snapped. "That's not what I'm worried about!"
Leo laughed again and turned his attention back to his work. "Whatever man, go check on her but if Jason kicks your ass don't blame me." When Percy didn't make any move to move Leo glanced up again. "What? Are you scared of her or something?"
"No." Percy said way to quickly and Nico looked up in interest like he had just noticed Percy was in the room. He faltered and looked back at the window quickly turning up the collar on his jacket.
Percy ignored this and looking at a smirking Leo said. "Well it's just....your her friend right? Like you and Jason are her best friends? Then don't you want to be the one to save her if something bad is happening?"
Leo's smile slipped a little. "How long have you been thinking about this? If there's something going on we shouldn't be standing here and discussing Piper's sex life!" Nico made a deep uncomfortable noise in his throat and Leo shook his head. "Sex isn't a bad word Di Angelo."
Nico made to try to reply except to mutter. "The strawberries at camp are dying...good I hate that place."
"You hate anything with a pulse." Leo told him as he got up from his bench and wiped his face again, leaving more grime smeared across his bronzed skin. Looking back to me he said. "Are we doing this then?"
Nodding I cluthced Ripride in my pocket and raced out of the room Leo close on my heels both of us pretending not to hear Nico murmuring. "Spaz'z."
Once we were both percing bird style tensed and ready outside the door to Hazel's room we were quiet. Pressing an ear to the door I could vaugly hear scrapes and noised from inside like Piper was moving furtinture or something else like that. Leo frowned in a low voice. "I don't know, Perc. It doens't sound like anything serious is going on in there. Are you sure there's a problem?"
Feeling unsure I whispered back. "Actually I'm not sure. I thought I heard something earlier but..." I was cut off as there was a sharp intake of breathe from inside the room and a furious voice yelled.
"That hurt!"
Leo and I may have been too on edge but to me that soudned like as good a cue as any. Springing up I swung the cap off of Riptide and let the blade extend to it's full length watching as it filled the hallway in a pulsing golden light. Next to me Leo pulled a cresent wrench from a pocket on his tool belt. I looked at it in a tired way for a minute. A wrench? Really Leo? Really? From inside the room something yelled. "You bitch!"
Leo winced lik he thought the person was talking to him and without thinking anymore I burst into the room. Splinters of wood flew through the air and I held Riptide up ready to bust up anyone who wast trying to cause any trouble totally set on saving Piper. From next to me Leo burst in swinging his wrench and uttering some kind of retarted battle cry that made my ears hurt. My vision tinged red I looked around for an attacker and faltered feeling my hear drop.
I didn't see any attacker. I saw Piper standing by her dresser her mouth open and her eyebrows knit together in angry confusion her hair pulled back into two loose braids while she wore a tank top and pair of sweats. I saw Annabeth standing in front of the bed her face a furious grimace her arms crossed over her fades sweatshirt, and I saw Hazel perched on the bed her face bright red as she clutched a pillow to her chest looking scandelized. From next to me Leo snapped two words that summed it all up.
"Oh shit."
"Percy!" Annabeth snapped storming forward. "What in Hades do you think your doing? Are you trying to give us a heart attack? Look at Hazel!" She pointed angrilly at the small girl who was breathing rapidly.
"Hi Hazel." I said meakly then turning back to my girlfriend said in a soft voice. "I heard a thump, Leo said it was nothing that Piper and Jaso were..." I cut off quickly as Piper gaspe din outrage and nudged Annabeth out of the way so she could snarl at me her face redending.
"Leo said Jason and I were what?" She demmanded shooting a glare at Leo that made him squeak in terror.
"N-Nothing." Leo muttered to his bare feet. "Just...watching Spondgebob."
Piper was clearly not impressed as she showed by scooping up a pillow and chucking it at Leo with so much force that he fell back and crashed to his elbows in the hallway making his yelp with more shock and humilation than any real pain. Piper turned to me another pillow raised ready but being the brave and noble hero of Olympus that I was I did what any honorable man would do...
I ran like Hell.
