The Sea's Protector (Fem. Percy x Young Justice)

49

"Do you have a plan?"

Those words echoed through my mind as I watched the scene play out.

The Team was standing beside me and they were all staring at me. Tears were falling down my face as I saw...them.

Annabeth looked at me, me meaning the me in the memory. Her blonde hair was pulled up into a ponytail and her gray eyes flashed with amusement.

"Do you?"

I shrugged and sat on the table. "Figured I'd ask. Besides, I don't think any of what we did last time will work."

Annabeth stood up and adjusted my armor. "It's crooked." She said when I looked at her questioningly.

Jason walked in, followed by Frank.

"Do we have anything to work with? Besides what we already know?" Jason looked at Annabeth.

"Already asked, Sparky. We're going in blind." I sighed. "If Nico can't get them back to Camp guys...there's no way we can pull this off. Aphrodite is one of the few gods who's not all messed up in the head, you know more than usual. But she's not really a fighter. And we need more than her and a wine god to kill them all."

"What about Kym? She killed your dad's opposite." Frank looked at me. "And how are you holding up?"

"I still think it's funny that Superman over there had to save Aquaman." Leo walked into the room, twirling a socket wrench around his finger.

I bit my lip. If we fail...If we lose...

Everyone is going to die.

"I could have handled it." I mumbled.

"Percy, you were helpless." Jason pushed his glasses up. "You would have died."

My jaw clenched and I looked over at Annabeth. She cast her eyes to the ground.

We both know what I could have done.  And we both know why I didn't do it.

"Jason, remember how when we were fighting each other in Kansas, how afterwards I said I didn't need a lake?"

"Yeah...and?"

A smirk grew across my face. "I don't. But that's not important right now, do we have a plan?"

"There are a lot of monsters, and I think that there might be tunnels since I'm sensing a lot of moving metal." Hazel said as she and Piper walked in, both prepared for battle.

Annabeth sat for a minute, twisting her hand in her necklace. Then she nodded.

"Percy, you and Leo go look to see if you can figure out any weak points. Frank and I will scout from above. Jason, you do the same with Tempest."

"What about us?" Piper asked.

"Hang back and be ready to fire if we need to. Leo, you got the ballistae back in order right?"

"Better than ever. Now come on, let's go kick some giant butt!"

"Who are those people?" Robin asked as I watched Leo and I prepare to leave.

My chest hurt and I stumbled backwards into Kaldur as the scene became one I'm all too familar with.

I stood on top of a hill, close to the battlefield, staring at the monsters waiting for us.
