Jason's pov

Saturday, 28th of September

I was casually eating Percy's wonderful pancakes, going back for seconds and even thirds.

They were blue, which was so wonderfully and traditionally Her.

Everything I saw was blue.

And everything blue reminded me of Her.

As horrifying as it sounds, my favorite color was turning from red to blue.

Red will always be a strong color to me, it will always represent my past.

But blue was Her. Blue was Percy.

And Percy was my friend. For now.

A friend that I really, really, really liked.

I laid my head back against the couch. I got some answers this morning. Finally.

Percy wasn't normal. And she seemed to be in danger, constantly.

Those weird creatures that she fought months ago... and the huge dog things this morning..

Obviously she was used to it. But I couldn't stand back and watch her get eaten alive. Those things were literally biting her. And somehow she fought them off.

Those dogs were something special that I couldn't quite put a finger on. They didn't even flinch as my bullets pretty much passed through them.

What on earth was she?

She might've told me had I asked, since I technically witnessed everything with my own eyes and there was no way to lie around it.

But this was Percy. And I.. Red Hood or not.. wasn't going to pressure her to tell me. Especially when I was lying to her myself about my identity.

I wanted Percy to tell me. Or rather, tell Jason.

After all, someday I'll tell her about me.

Unless.. she specifically hints she wants nothing to do with me.. romantically.

I was having the time of my life flirting away my worries, seeing her cute blushing reactions.

I was a stranger to her, and yet she had no problem inviting me to her home.

She's got really bad survival skills.

I'm gonna have to tease her about that later.

Oh, and I'm in deep trouble.

Here I was, as Red Hood, in Percy's apartment, where I (As Jason) was supposed to be sleeping over for the night.

Yeah I was tired last night, and yes she was right I shouldn't drive home.

So I stayed. It doesn't take a lot of encouragement to convince me to stay. The closer I was to Percy the more peace I felt in my mind.

It was always a jumbled mess. Memories, hurt feelings, anger. She would wipe it all away with one playful poke.

But I was busy. I needed to track down Bella. She wasn't going to get away with hurting Percy's family.
