Mr. Megan looked mesmerized as he repeated what Marc said, "I will let you pass. You have every right to be here."
"You will also not allow anyone to hassle us, understood?"
"I will not allow anyone to hassle you, understood."
Marc nodded and turned to Galen, "let's go already."
Galen sighed, "Always so impatient."
Percy smiled and walked forward, "I just think he wants to get back to Mera as fast as he can." Marc looked taken back as the men snickered at the comment. They moved past Mr. Megan and towards the mainland leaving the human confused as to why he was outside his office in the first place.
The island itself was beautiful to look at with shops littered all over the place and food stands around every corner. The roads were made out of cobblestone and the streets were clean of any garbage, something Percy could say was a great change of pace from New York.
The sea breeze hit Percy hard empowering the demigod, there was something about being on land yet smelling the sea that really excited Percy. Most of the buildings at the port were directly opposite the water with open doors and windows to let the wind through. Strangely enough there weren't many tourists here. It was summertime and the streets were nearly empty, it seemed odd to Percy, but then again this could just be the boring part of town.
Just then Percy noticed something in the corner of his eyes, "hey guys wait up I need to get something."
Galen and the others stopped, "what is it?"
Percy pointed at the end of the road where a small watch shop was located, "I need to get a watch."
"Now? You need to do that now?"
"Think of it as a souvenir," Percy said with a shrug, "plus I really want a watch."
The crew shrugged as Galen sighed, "fine, go get your stupid watch. We'll wait here."
Percy took out around 500 $ and gave it to Galen, "why don't you guys go get something to eat, I won't be long."
"Wait you can store money as well?!" Galen asked surprised, "kid you're better than a bank!"
Percy shrugged and kept walking towards the watch shop. He really wanted a watch, it was on his to do list for quite some time now and this was the perfect chance. Plus it would be a cool looking souvenir.
Percy entered the shop and found that it was small, around 20 feet big. There was a counter at the back with a man sitting behind it reading the newspaper. He looked at Percy and raised an eyebrow before going back to his paper. The demigod then turned to the watches lining up the walls of the shop. There were so many to choose from and that excited Percy, maybe he had a fetish for watches or something?
Just as Percy was about to look at some of them the door opened again, "relax girls, I'm telling you with these watches we can time the bombs instead of blowing them all up at once."
Percy brain went on overdrive the moment he heard the term, 'bomb'. He turned and there standing next to the door were three people Percy was familiar with. There was a young woman with white blonde hair wearing a blue leather jacket over a white shirt with a pair of simple jeans and short boots. A tall buff blond man with a yellow and purple Hawaiian print shirt with shorts and a small fiery strawberry blonde haired girl wearing a pair of tights with a tank top..
Percy sighed, 'not these guys again.' This was the same team that had tried to stop him, Clarisse and Annabeth from finding out about the Gergosas back in Boston.
"Elsa it's him! Peter Jackson!" Anna shrieked out loud.
"First off, it's Percy Jackson, and second why can't I just enjoy this one thing without having a bunch of crazy people attack me?!" Percy shouted out as he drew Yew's Breath with his left while uncapping riptide with his right. Anna reached behind and pulled out a metal bat that was strapped to her back.
"Wait!" Elsa shouted, "we don't want to fight!"
Percy and Anna stared each other down but didn't move. Percy turned to Elsa, "why are you here?"
"For a vacation," Kristoff said sarcastically.
"Answer me properly or I'll freeze your stupid mouth shut."
"Yeah well I would like to see you-"
"Enough Kristoff!" Elsa spoke up shutting the man halfway. She turned to Percy, "I promise you when I say that I mean you no harm, I mean it. We are here to track down someone, a man named Argo, we didn't come to fight you, I promise."
Percy narrowed his eyes at Elsa and studied her face. Just then his lie detections skill kicked in;
No lies detected!
Percy sighed as he lowered his blade as Anna lowered her metal bat. "Why are you looking for Argo?" Percy asked narrowing his eyes at Elsa, "last time I saw you three you were working for him by stopping us from getting to New York."
Elsa nodded, "yes, that was a mistake. We didn't know who we were fighting for, all we knew is that he was related to the man who….who turned me into this," Elsa said covering her hands in ice, "I didn't realise that the man we worked for was the man we were looking for until it was too late. We then spent a better part of a year tracking him to Nassau."
Percy looked at Elsa's hands, if he recalled correctly she and her sister along with the guy who smelt like a reindeer were all looking for the man who gave Elsa her ice powers. And from what Percy knew about Argo that sound just like something the freak would do. Percy sighed, "fine, I believe you." He then holstered Yew's Breath back and recapped Riptide.
"So now that we explained our story, why are you here?" Kristoff asked after Anna put her weapon away.
"Vacation," Percy replied with narrowed eyes.
Kristoff blinked "seriously? What a coincidence."
Anna sighed, "He was being sarcastic sweetie."
Kristoff blinked cluelessly until he became angry, "why you little shit-"
Percy put a hand up, "bind." Ribbons of mana flew out of Percy's hands and wrapped themselves around Kristoff immobilizing the man. Percy turned to Elsa, "I came here for Argo too. The man has a new weapon called a Gergosa. Giant, nasty things that feeds on humans. I don't know how he makes them, but he does."
Elsa nodded, "we got the same intel. He owns an underground bunker somewhere in the area. Looks like we want the same thing then."
Percy nodded, "looks like."
"Hey can you ah get these things off of me?" Kristoff asked from the floor.
"Will you try to hurt me again?" Percy asked raising an eyebrow.
"No, I promise," Kristoff said giving Percy his best smile. The demigod sighed and released the binding allowing Kristoff to get back up, "thanks."
"Your welcome, now why exactly are you guys here in this shop?" Percy asked.
"We need watches for making bombs to use in the bunker," Kristoff explained , "you know, to blow it up."
Percy sighed, "next time to shout out bomb in public, you might gain unwanted attention."
"Right, is he working with us now?" Kristoff asked Elsa and Anna, "because if he's working with us then I need an extra aspirin."
"Well that all depends," Elsa asked Percy, "do you want to team up?"
