Percy walked forward and so did the other buff guys. The looked down at Percy and the pink shirted one sighed, "look little man, I don't want to hurt you. So be a good little kid and give me those passes and I won't hurt you."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "little? I wasn't so little when your girlfriend offered to ride in in the bathroom in exchange for tickets."
"What?!" the man yelled turning to his girlfriend. Thalia snickered as the blonde bimbo tried to calm her boyfriend down.
"Just give me the damn tickets!" the other guy yelled out.
"I don't' want to," Percy replied cleaning his ears of wax.
The man grabbed Percy's collar and pulled him up, "listen brat I am trying to be nice. Okay? So just give me-" Percy lifted his leg straight up hitting the man between the legs.
The roided out muscle builder went stiff for a second. He let go of Percy's shirt and then promptly fell sideways holding his testicles in his hands.
"Jakey!" the girl shouted rushing to her boyfriend's side.
The pink shirted man now lookied piss, "did you just hurt my bro?!"
The man charged forward and threw a punch. Percy caught it with his superior reflexes and with his strength bent the arm sideways locking the man's elbow.
"Say uncle," Percy said putting pressure on the man's elbow.
"Fuck off!" e cursed. Percy then lifted his leg and pressed it down on the man's back applying more pressure.
"Say uncle!"
"Stop! Please!"
"Say uncle fucker!"
"Uncle! Uncle!"
Percy smiled and let go of the man's arm. The pink shirted idiot subbed his shoulder as he tried to get up when suddenly Percy's foot came crashing into his head knocking the man unconscious.
"Johnny!" the other bimbo said as she rushed to her boyfriend. She looked pissed as she turned to Percy pulling out her cell phone, "I'm going to call the cops!"
Thalia laughed, "yeah, you do that." The demigoddess then sent a small bolt of electricity at the mobile phone short circuiting it.
Percy and Thalia left the four adult behind walking towards the after party, "you sure it was a good idea using your powers?" Percy asked.
Thalia nodded, "it won't be a problem. The Mist will hide it. And even if it didn't who would believe her? They would just chalk it up to seeing things while drunk."
Percy nodded and the two quickly arrive at their destination. The place looked like a local pub but was surrounded by people trying to get in. Percy and Thalia had to wait in line for 10 minutes before they managed to get in.
Inside was filled with people all drinking, dancing and having a good time. Most were dressed up like Thalia and Percy, leather jackets and jeans. However most had their hair dyed and a piercing or two.
"What exactly are we supposed to do?" Percy asked.
"There," Thalia said pointing at the band standing on the center of the room. There wasn't any fancy lights or any fancy sound systems. They were just playing, and people were just having a good time.
Thalia and Percy managed to push through and reach the front as they sang along to the songs the band played. The magic and the energy of the concert was easily captured in the small place. Everyone was hear to listen to music and have a good time.
The band eventually stopped playing and instead began to talk and interact with the fans. Immediately everyone tried to get a chance to talk to them, but Percy wasn't interested.
Thalia had gone off on her own to try and get one of the band member to autograph her bracelet. Yes, you heard that right. The daughter of Zeus wants to get a mortal to sign the shield of Aegis. Just let that sink in for a second…..okay? Okay.
Percy went to the side of the room towards the bar. Of course he didn't order anything alcoholic, he was planning to run back to camp and he didn't want to risk not being in a proper state of mind.
He got a glass of coke and sat down in a comfy chair next to a group of punkish looking people all sitting around smoking cigarettes.
"So did you guys hear about the hostage thing yesterday?" asked a tall thin woman with bright green hair.
"You mean the one in the Bronx that the police tried to stop?" another one said picking Percy's interest, 'are they talking about me?'
The girl, whose name Percy knew to be Cassie, shook her head, "no. That's just a cover up story man. I know somebody whose uncle's daughter was held up in the KFC. And she swears that the police didn't actually save her."
"Really Cassie?" one of the other girls asked rolling her eyes and taking a drag out of her smoke, "what do you think happened this time? Aliens? Monsters?"
"No, a superhero," Cassie said with a big smile.
Percy almost spat out his drink in super, 'superhero?! I'm a fucking superhero?!'
"Okay who gave Cassie weed?" a man complained.
"I'm serious guys!" Cassie insisted, "the guy who saved them was a superhero! He had yellow helmet, a black leather jacket and a pair jeans on. From what everyone is saying he just appeared out of nowhere, took down the bad guys in the blink of an eye and then beat up five armed thugs!"
Percy was surprised so much detail of his fight got around so fast. Maybe next time he shouldn't have made such a scene.
"Did anyone other than your uncle's daughter seen the dude?"
"Yeah, the 8 other hostages there plus the cops!"
"Cassie if the cops knew why wouldn't they tell people? Like wouldn't they want the public to know someone else did this?"
"Why would they? It would make them look incompetent!" Cassie shouted back, "this guy, this…. Phantom, is probably the first ever superhero in the world guys. And he showed up here!"
Her friends laughed or rolled their eyes at the girl, but Percy was serious. 'Okay, I am definitely not doing the whole superhero things again. Too much attention. Plus, Phantom? Really? Such a lame ass superhero name.'
Percy then drank the rest of his coke and set out to find Thalia. He walked all over the place, but he couldn't find her anywhere. 'Shit, don't tell me I lost her,' Percy told himself as he tried to find the band members, maybe they saw.
Percy quickly found them in the back. They were surprisingly laid back for a bunch of world famous musicians. Percy have expected them to be knee deep in drugs and strippers but all four members just sat down with a cigar in their hands and a beer in front of them.
Perc tired to approach them, but a security guy stepped in front of him, "you can't go in there kid."
"I just want to ask them something I promise I won't be long," Percy replied.
"No kid," the man said as he tried to push back, only Percy didn't budge an inch. The gaurd looked stunned as he tried to put more and more pressure on Percy, but the demigod didn't move an inch, "what are you?"
Percy shrugged, "a Green Day fan."
"Hey Nick what are you doing?" Mike Dirnt, the bass player of the band asked.
"I'm just getting rid of this kid sir."
"What does he want?"
