"This is the neighbor's son Castle," Kate said not talking her eyes off Percy, "what was your name again?"
"Percy, Percy Jackson," Percy replied.
"Sally's kid?" Castle asked surprised, "wow, didn't realise she had a kid. Nice to meet you, Richard Castle, Kate's fiance" the man said shaking Percy's hand.
"Well she does," Kate replied before sighing, "fine Percy I believe you. Sorry about the interrogation thing. Sally's a good friends and I take personal offence to anyone trying to harm her."
Percy nodded, "glad to know my mom has a friend looking out for her, one who also happens to have a gun."
"Why don't you come inside and wait for her?" Castle suggested, "it's better than being out here."
"You sure? I wouldn't want to be a bother," Percy said.
"You won't be a bother at all, and I insist," Castle said flashing Percy a smile, "after all Sally has baked God knows how many blue cookies for us. It's the least we can do."
"Well if you insist," Percy said as the three walked into Castle and Beckett's place. The inside was huge, bigger than Sally's place. There was a staircase to the side leading to the another floor. There was a fake wall near the end lined with books and Percy could see an office just beyond them. The entire place was filled with toys and video games. Everything looked expensive and very posh.
"Wow," Percy said looking around, "how many kids do you guys have?" Percy looked around, "there are enough comic books, video games and toys to entertain everyone at my camp!"
"We don't have any kids," Kate said as she walked behind the counter pouring herself a mug of coffee, "those are all Castle's."
Percy's eyes widened in surprised as he turned to the grow 30 year old man, "you own all of this?"
"Ah, yeah," Castle said.
"You must be a hit with the kids," Percy said looking around.
"Yeah, kids like me. And so do most adults-"
"-No they don't," Kate cut in.
"Yes they do," Castle replied.
"So what do you do for a living Mr. Castle?" Percy asked, "you must be loaded to own all of this."
"I'm a writer," Castle said smiling.
"Oh? Anything I would have heard about?"
"Let's see….Nikki Heat."
"Never heard of that."
"Dereck Storm?"
"Nope."
"A Midnight's Kill?"
"Not a clue."
"Do you even read books?"
"Yeah, I love fantasy and fiction, though I prefer Greek stories to anything else."
Castle looked surprised, "you like Greek stories? What are you 15?"
"13 actually," Percy replied.
"13?! The last 13 year old I meet you like Greek stories was my daughter. I'm surprised somebody so young likes Greek Mythology. Usually teens are more into vampires and other stuff rather than Odysseus."
Percy shrugged, "guess I'm just different than."
Just then the door swung open, "dad, Kate, I'm back!" a voice called out as a young attractive red haired girl walked in. She was petite and had a very delicate features. Her eyes were blue like Castle's so that probably made her his daughter.
"Ah Alexis you're back, wheres-"
"BARK!"
'Oh, no, not him,' Percy groaned as a black and white blur ran out from behind the pretty red haired girl and launched himself at Percy's ankles.
Chomp!
Percy sighed as the dog started to bite at Percy's ankles trying to tear it off. The dog barely made 1 damage doing this and Percy just stood there looking down at Leo biting into him.
"Hello, stupid mutt," Percy said groaning, "why the hell are you here."
"Sally gave him to use to take care off while she was gone," Kate explained looking at Leo try and tear Percy's jeans apart, "he doesn't like you huh?"
Percy sighed, "he was a gift from my dad for my last birthday," Percy reached down and grabbed Leo by the neck and pulled him off his ankle, "and I don't know why, but he hates me."
"Don't take it personally," Castle said, "he hates me too, stupid thing pissed on me the first time we meet."
"Strange, he loves me," Kate said sipping her coffee.
"And me," Alexis said taking off her coat, "and who is this by the way?"
"Oh, right, Alexis meet Percy Jackson, Sally's son," Castle said before looking at Percy, "and this is Alexsis, my daughter."
"Pleased to meet you Percy," Alexis smiled giving Percy a handshake.
"Hello Alexis," Percy said, 'gods she had an amazing smile. Is everyone here super hot?!' Just then Leo jumped out of Percy's grasp and started to bite and scratch Percy's face.
"Leo don't!" Alexis shouted grabbing hold of the dog and pulling him off Percy, "I'm sorry, I don't know why he does that."
"Don't worry about," Percy sighed, "he and I hated each other the moment we meet."
"I can tell," Kate said as she scratched Leo behind the ears calming him down, "who's a good boy."
"Hmm," Leo whimpered in happiness as he stopped moving burying his face into Alexsis chest before falling asleep.
"I think I'll go put him down," Alexis said, "poor guy was exhausted from the walk. Don't know how he had enough energy to attack Percy."
"He has a special place in his heart for me," Percy grumbled, "I bet even if he couldn't walk he would still find a way to jump ontop of me and try to bite my head off."
"I can believe that," Castle said as Alexis left going upstair was Leo. The man then turned to Percy, "so what do you like to do for fun kid?"
'Kill monster, grid for exp and item and sword fighting,' Percy thought but instead he said, "I like video games."
Castle smiled, "game on."
An hour later,
Castle blinked as he stared at the screen. His hands still held onto his controller but they weren't moving. "HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?!"
"I'm just that awesome," Percy said with a smirk as he shot down his 50th victim in Call of Duty.
"50, you killed 50 people," Castle said turning to Percy, "you are a God Percy Jackson."
"No, just the son of one," Percy said as he switched out his AK-47 for a sniper rifle and in one swift motion shot through the head of another player 50 meters away.
"How did you do that! I didn't even see that guy!" Castle said as he did his best to avoid getting killed by the enemy team.
"I have great eyesight," Percy said as his sea green eyes shined indicating the activation of his 8.0 Eyesight perk.
