Dick was having one of the weirdest days of his life.

And that was saying a lot as being Batman's sidekick for some years then his own superhero for some he has had his fair share of weird days. This one somehow tops all of them combined. One minute he is in some obscure alleyway in Greenland decked out in his snow gear and the next he is on a sunny beach, still decked out in his snow gear.

Startled, his internal training kicks in and he crouches down behind the nearest big rock and takes stock of his surroundings, it's then he notices a boy and girl beating up a bull. The guy is carries a bronze baseball bat and the girl is holding up a bone!?

He's not much of an animal activist but he still believes that beating up a defenseless animal is a big no-no. So he sheds his thick overcoat and runs towards the scene with the purpose of stopping the two from hurting the animal further, but before he could do anything more than near them and shout "don't beat up the poor animal" the bull explodes (what even?) into gold dust. The gold dust lands on top of him and some gets into his mouth, up his nose and in his eyes. He doubles over coughing and wheezing, his eyes burn and he was experiencing one of the worst headaches of all time.

When he straightens up there is another shock waiting for him, "Is that a sword you are holding?" he asks incredulously, staring at the guy who seems to have lost the baseball bat and acquired a sword instead (or as his detective skills say that the bat had turned into a sword somehow). Then he notices the girl or more precisely what she is holding, what he had been sure was a bone before (the size which you give a dog) , was now a big sword made of bone. "Is that sword made of bone, wait why are you holding a sword too? "

Percy was having a good day until the Minotaur showed up to disrupt his date.

He and Annabeth had driven from the camp to a nearby beach in his new car (a gift from Paul for coming back safely), they had been enjoying some much deserved alone time when the bloody Minotaur decides to attack him. Again.

So he and his amazing girlfriend get into battle mode weaving around each other in a practiced dance, sniping and parrying the axe the Minotaur seems to be carrying again.

He is striking the final blow when he hears a voice shouting at him to stop hurting the poor animal. He feels a twinge of annoyance at the mortal who has decided that today is the day to rebrand Percy Jackson into an animal hater, but is unable to do much as he witnesses the monster dust of the recently vanquished Minotaur fall on top of the aforementioned unsuspecting mortal. He watches in amusement as the dust makes him double over but is then surprised when the guy straightens up and starts asking about his and Annabeth's swords.

'Do you think he's a demigod?' Percy asks Annabeth with a look.

'That old I don't think so.' They hold a conversation with their eyes a routine that comes naturally to them now.

'have you known the gods to always keep their promises?'

'he could just be a clear sighted mortal. But I'm pretty sure that before he got attacked by the dust he thought we were harming a bull'

'So let's test if he's a demigod or not.' He conveys with a mischievous glint in his eye.

"No Percy don't," Annabeth shouts but he pretends to not hear her.

"Yo! Sorry if this hurts." He says and proceeds to try poking the strange guy with the point of his sword, key word being tries, as the sword simply passes through him and buries itself in his shoulder a cm deep.

"Hey what do you think you are doing?" the strange guy shouts and tries to push the sword away but is unable to as his hand just phases through the sword.

"Wha-?"

"So a mortal then. Why can he suddenly see through the mist though?" Percy asks Annabeth, capping riptide and turning it back to a pen (ignoring the strange guy's expression).

Annabeth lets out an annoyed sigh "there are better methods of making out if he's mortal or not you know."

"Will both of you stop ignoring me and tell me why you've brought me here and how, what do you plan on doing with me, how do you know who am I, who are you and the hell is my head hurting so much?" he asks holding his head with both his hand bent over a little, and promptly passes out.
