It wasn't until we kept staring that the moment of panic hit me. The thing is, when we first met I came over as a dick because I was in my 18 year old form telling her that she is a kid compared to me.

It totally sounds dickish to me anyway. Looking away and silently glaring at Loki who didn't seem affected I huffed and I notice him roll his eyes.

Narrowing mine I decided for revenger later for ignoring me.

It wasn't until Chiron dismissed us that I grabbed his sleeve and pulled him out of the mess hall and toward the arena.

"Really?" Loki asked exasperated as I pulled my sword out.

"Afraid you're going to lose big brother?" I asked mischievously.

Loki rolled his eyes but summoned the sword he sometimes used, "When we sword fight, I know it's an even fight." Loki said with another eye roll.

"Don't go easy on me." I said and smirked as we started to circle on another. Loki made the first move but I swiftly dodged to the left as I paired the blow and delivered one of my one at a side that was open.

Or at least it looked like it was open because the next thing I knew Loki's sword was pushing my sword away and toward me.

Ducking under the sword I swiped my foot under his legs making him fall. He glared at me but I saw a small smile as he got up quickly and paired a blow.

In the corner of my eye I saw some of the children around the arena sitting in the stands, mostly Aphrodite daughters swooning, and focused back to the fight when Loki almost swiped my face.

He gave me that look that told me to focus and I rolled my eyes, "Want to speed things up brother?" I asked tauntingly but indicated toward the becoming crowd.

Loki smile turned mischievous as we started to really move fast, attacking and defense got faster as well as we moved around the arena blocking each other's blows.

We were actually moving faster than any demigod should but we didn't really pay to much attention to that detail, we had to make sure we didn't cut off each others head.

I then saw an opportunity and took it as I dodged an attack and then grabbed Loki's hand and twisted the sword out of it.

Quickly, after that move I pointed one sword at Loki's throat and the other was behind Loki's head making it so he couldn't move.

We were both breathing heavily and covered in a thin layer of sweat when I smiled and dropped the swords away from Loki's neck.

"You've gotten better at that." Loki said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders as if we just hadn't been fighting.

"What can I say, you leave that move open way too many times." I said with a shrug and notice Loki playfully frown.

"Says the kid who can't shoot a bow and arrow properly..or at all." Loki said smirking remembering that one time I picked up the bow and then did a big nope after I somehow shot a tree behind me when I was facing actual target.

"We're never talking about that moment again." I said dangerously to Loki who just smirked.

Ignoring the swooning Aphrodite children and the other kids we made our way to Chiron who was standing a little bit away smiling at our banter.

"We're going to go to the Poseidon cabin and freshen up and make sure we're unpacked. If you need anything or anyone has any real questions let us know." I said pushing Loki away from my shoulders his hand falling off my shoulders as he tried to keep his balance not expecting the push.

"Come on." I said rolling my eyes at my brother and grabbed his arm again, "Being pushy are we? Is it that time of year again?" Loki said smirking.

"One, i'm a male. Two, says the guy who's emotions can do a big three-sixty whenever our other brother is mentioned or his friends?" I said with an unimpressed eyebrow raise.

Loki instantly growled at me as I laughed and ran in front of him, it's been a while since I could just act carefree really. In Asgard it was do-this or do-that or Percy you need to act like royalty, or Odin looking at me with disapproval when I do something in my nature.

Overall, I just liked being away from Asgard and being back on Midgard, it was always my favorite realm even before I really knew I was born here.

I laughed again when Loki tried to tackle me but I dodged instead, "Ow!" A kid around possible 18 and possible was there at the attack on New York helping the two ladies said.

"Sorry." I gushed over to him and helped Loki up then extended my hand for the guy to take. The guy huffed and pushed away my hand getting up on his own.

"I'm sorry about that. I guess we forgot that we're guests here. We'll be careful next time." I said a bit rushed ignoring the man who was glaring at me.

"Whatever." The boy said huffing.

"We got off on the wrong foot," I said backtracking and extended my hand, "Percy Jackson." I said

"I thought it was Odinson." The man said with a scowl.

My nose instantly scrunched up, "I was adopted by Odin but I'm not really his son, I go by my original last name." I said and indicated to my hand again.

The guy seemed hesitant but slowly we shook hands, "Luke Castellan." he said

I smiled again, "Good to meet you Luke. We need to go for a little bit but we should be at dinner when it comes around." I said and pushed Loki gentler this time toward the way to our cabin.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah I get it. Come on bro." Loki said rolling his eyes and taking the lead toward the cabin even though he has no idea where he was going.

"You seem to know your way around here?" Luke asked before could follow Loki.

"Dad, Poseidon, and Amphitrite wanted to make sure I was prepared for the day I might go to camp." I said with a shrug, "if you'll excuse me I need to make sure Loki doesn't find the hermes cabin instead of ours. God of Mischief finding the God of Thieves, that would be a terrible combination. We already hang out with Hermes enough."

Luke seemed to want to talk more but I excused myself once more and ran toward where Loki was.
