Persephone Jackson, I told you to be ready to leave when I got here, and you are not ready at all, I retort. I was going to prepare 10 minutes before you arrived, but you didn't call, so I didn't know when you would get here, she says, defending herself. OK, get ready because we have a lot to have done before the gala, and you have to look lovely tonight, I say. Why do I have to look nice? It's just a gala, Perci asks me. Perci, I have told you that you are getting reintroduced to the public. Cameras will be looking at us, and we have to look perfect. I explained to her the fifth time. Ok, that makes sense. I will get ready. See you in a sec she says as she runs to her room.

Time skip the spa hair and nails and get ready for the gala

We were talking to the guests and welcoming them into the house. I invited Percy's friends. I also invited my best friend and his family. They welcomed me into their family when I was in Gotham. Percy doesn't know them. I invited Piper and Rachel and my friend Jason Todd and his family

Piper and her dad walk in; she is wearing the dress I sent her; it looks good on her like I thought it would. Hello, Mr. McClean and Miss McClean. Welcome, right through there is where everyone else is. Thank you, Miss Jackson; it's nice to see you again, this time under better circumstances, Tristen says. Tristen, how often do I tell you to call me Steph? I am just being respectful, Steph; maybe you should learn sometime, Tristen says. I was going to say something before Piper interrupted

What do you mean in better circumstances? You know who this is, Piper asks. The last time I saw your dad was at my mom's funeral. I have done business with your dad, I tell her. What kind of business? Piper asks the kind that isn't any of your business. If your dad wanted you to know, you would have known, I explained to her. I don't want my dad in some dirty business that will get him hurt, Piper tells me angrily. Our business was about my company, and my company is none of your concern; now, if you don't mind, I have other people waiting to talk to me, I said. I walked away so she would calm down; she was too protective of her dad. She should chill out; we are business friends. I helped him get a job, and my mom helped him with his career and got him started.
