11 chapter 10-Yay, A Fight?

It's been a couple of days since the beach clean-up; I've had to deal with a few monsters here and there. They were always easy to deal with. I saw recently saw a group of Empousa, that was crazy. They tried to jump me but I just punched her till they "died".

I still hung out with my friends. We played around and studied at times. Mrs. Dodds is still giving me a hard time but she seems to give me more looks of curiosity than hatred. Other than that it's been okay.

Sometimes we would have issues with Nancy and her clique. Which makes absolutely no sense. We were bonding last time. This feels like a betrayal. I hate betrayals. Especially "Those kind" of betrayals.

When it was night time I still went to the woods but made sure to keep my powers in check. The fish have also gotten used to me being there, they act more casual than they did in the past. It took a lot to wear them down.

While practicing I was able to go faster than a standard torpedo. I was able to go around 140 mph on Friday night. Sadly still not faster than the VA-111 Shkval which has a top speed of 230 mph. Still need more practice. I do know that eventually, I will be faster. I also attempted to make weapons with the water which aren't fully solid enough to be weapons, not just yet.

I then tried to make a water clone. That did more damage than good for me. Won't be trying that again anytime soon. I then spent the rest of that night practicing my spider physiology. I spent the time working on my strength.

I never truly found out the limit of my strength at this current moment because most of what surrounded me didn't even weigh two tons. At least I know Peter Parker could carry around 10 tons, with the way things are going I know that I probably can carry more than him.

I also started sticking to things when practicing with my strength. Turns out that holding things can cause your hands to get sticky, who knew? I focused on wall walking after that. It was fun balancing on trees sideways with one leg off the trunk.

I was also able to do water walking, which was fun. Heh, I just ran on top of the water most of the time on Saturday night. I also tried making the water into ice. It was difficult at first but I was able to manipulate the heat out of the water.

Which then gave me the idea that I could do the opposite. I could increase the thermal energy in the water. I took a blob of water out of the river walked to the River bank and attempted to increase the thermal energy till it was scalding hot. The heat of the water was starting to make me sweat so I lowered the heat and then threw it in the water.

I was also finally able to make solid water swords. Where I then attempted to learn how to use it. It was surprisingly both easy and difficult.

On Tuesday I went to the library to find books on swordsmanship. Where at midnight I learned from those books as much as I could. Even harder since I didn't have a real teacher to show me how the ropes.

An idea for a better version of the bubble came to mind. One that could mimic my abilities underwater. More specifically not getting wet and moving fluidly, and being able to breathe underwater at the same time. Eventually, when the time comes I will be able to use this but first I would have to practice on someone.

Currently, it's Wednesday morning, the day of the field trip. The day "everything changes". I know that I've been training for this day but I still don't feel ready. I'm currently stronger than canon Percy so that counts for something.

looking at myself in the mirror I noticed I got taller and just a bit more toned. Heh, who can brag about having muscles like these at my age? A knock on the door distracted me from my thought process.

"Hey Percy, we need to go. We're going with Mr. Brunner for our field trip. So we have to get to his class."

Right, should probably leave the bathroom. After leaving the bathroom me and Grover rushed over to Mr. Brunner's room. Once there we found Henry, Emily, and Johnathan.

Emily was the first to say hi to us, "Hey guys, how was your sleep."

"Well my sleep has been fine, sometimes I hear things in the night. It's weird hearing a thud in the night, right Percy?"

"Yeah... right very weird. Hearing noises near our room can be kind of terrifying."

Sometimes I forget that Grover isn't human and is a satyr instead. I mean I don't make sounds when I run or walk. Quiet as a cat. Those ears of his hear too much.

"How was your guy's morning?", Asked Grover.

Johnathan and Emily responded with an excited great, while Johnathan was too tired to even try.

"Children come, line up in two straight lines. It's time to go on the bus. Make sure you have your lunch!"

Entering the bus Emily excitedly chose our seats and tried to ask Henry for help with a game. Turns out Henry had been planning for something like this because he had UNO cards. We ended up playing five rounds before reaching the museum.

During this time the same events of the book were playing out. Except for a few changes. For one I wasn't fighting with Nancy. Sure we may not talk much but well, we seem to have an understanding. I also had more than one friend. So while Mr.Brunner has done his speech he was never interrupted by me.

During lunch time Mrs. Dodds was watching me like a hawk. A bit unnerving. The good thing is that I've done nothing to be dragged inside the museum against my will.

That's where I was wrong. Seems fate wants things to play out the way they were supposed to go because Nancy still got her shirt wet. Instead of me pushing her it was Henry who did it entirely by accident.

This then led to John getting a talking to by Mr. Brunner and me well... being blamed for telling him to do that. I mean come on. I'm no gang leader I can't order him to do things like this.

Which then led to me having to go into the museum. Oh come on this is so unoriginal, I mean does fate need things to play out the same? Seems they do.

We

Well, she's going to have a hard time dealing with me. If she couldn't deal with a Percy who didn't know what was going on, how was she going to deal with me?

Entering the museum she beckoned me to an empty room. Well, let's do this.

"Percy Jackson, you have caused me and a lot of powerful people quite the amount of trouble."

"Yup, absolutely no argument coming from me."

That just left here quiet. Guess she didn't think I would agree with her.

"Well, so you do admit to your robbery."

"I admit to nothing, I just know that I've caused trouble."

"Hmm, well if you do not wish to tell the truth then I will just have to take it out of you. Oh, it'll be fun to hear your screams of pain you annoying pest."

"Not like you're going to get far with that body of yours, you look like you could break any second now." I don't know why I said that but a distracted enemy is better than a focused enemy.

"Oh, you believe me to fight you in this form. No, no, I'll be dealing with you in my true form."

Then she started breaking. Her body was deforming itself to become some hideous monstrous form.

"That is disgusting. Why would you do that? There is no good reason for that being your way of transforming. You can't be doing this just to be dramatic."

Then she growled at me, "Grrr, you are too annoying to be left alive."

"That's what they always say but I'm stil- whoa."

Before I could finish my sentence she tried swiping at me with her claws.

"Uh, was it something I said? Whoa, don't get the whip that's child abuse."

"You, you pest if you stop moving I'll be lenient in your suffering."

"We both know that's a lie."

That made her sadistic grin grow. That whip is way too close for comfort. Well may as well make my water swords. These two beautiful lápiz blades. Which I made sharp enough to cut through stone like butter.

"What, you should not be able to do such things you're just a boy." She shrieked out.

"Well, I suppose this does make me a rule breaker. So I'm going to break you."

I ran towards her and threw one of my swords at her, she avoided getting hit but got cut in the face. While she was distracted by having seen her blood after so long I slashed her with my sword. I then made the swords go back to water and sent them to a plant nearby.

I don't know how to express how I feel right now.

I suppose you could say disappointment. She may have lost to the original but you would think one of Hades Fury's would have been able to do more than that.

I left the museum and saw Henry just sitting in a corner sulking. While Nancy and her friends were snickering at him.

Seems things are okay out here. Then a blonde lady walked up to me reprimanded me and then walked away.

Uhh, what? Was that supposed to be Mrs. Kerr, if it was then Mr. Bruner works fast. I mean he didn't even show up during the fight. Must have been too busy with Henry. He could have at least shown up last minute.

"Percy, a word."

Oh, now you show up, the moment where I don't even need your help.

"Are you alright, you seem tired."

Huh, I suppose I was being too harsh. I mean he was busy. I don't even know why I'm complaining.

"I'm fine Mr. Bruner, just fine."

"Well if you say so, Percy."

He then rolled away leaving me to walk up to the group.

"So, How did it go with Mrs.Kerr," Johnathan asked.

"Nothing happened. She just reprimanded me that's all."

He just nodded his head and left it at that.

We then spent the rest of the field trip in the museum learning and playing around.

Eventually, we had to back to Yancy Academy. Which was disappointing. Looking into the distance I wonder about my Mother. I could visit her but then she would get disappointed with me.

Either way, I need to get back to school. I'll be seeing her soon anyway. So it's fine.
