Chapter 10: Percy pulls a Seaweed Brain

And the dedication goes to....@TwilaHunter! The correct answer was Gryfindor and Ravenclaw!

Percy POV.

The last thing Percy needed when he woke up was to get bombarded with questions. Unfortunately that's exactly what he got.

Percy moaned. His head felt like it was thick with sand. He tried to moved his arms but with a sharp realization, he noticed they were tethered to the metal table he was laying on. Immediately his senses picked up. His entire body felt on fire. He was shirtless. His eyes flicked to his chest, where most of the pain was. It was wrapped in gauze but he could see blood stopping through. His arms were covered in burns.

"What the Hades." Percy cursed to himself laying his feverish head back onto the cold table. "Styx."

"You're awake!" Percy heard a voice call. He looked up to see the scientist Dr. Banner, leaning over him. "What the Hell happened to you!? Do you know how many cuts and burns are on your skin? And more kept appearing before I could stitch these ones up! It's a miracle your still living! Not to mention, I still can hear, despite your high pitched screams and can move despite the number of times you kicked me in the ribs."

Percy noticed the Doctor was favoring his left side. Percy bit his lip figuring he must have kicked the man.

"Water." Percy croaked. His tongue felt like sand paper. His arms ached against the bindings on his wrists and ankles. Everything hurt. Banner began undoing the straps. "Water." Percy said a little louder. Dr. Banner looked at him as if calculating if he was going to jump up and run away if he left. After a second more Banner disappeared, appearing milliseconds later with a cup.

Percy reached up fighting the excruciating pain that spread through his body. Percy let out another moan slumping back to the table. He heard a high beeping sound coming from somewhere across the room.

Banner swore. "Your temperature is spiking again." He brought the cup to Percy's lips and helped Percy to drink it. Mid-swallow Percy started coughing. Banner pulled the cup away. Percy spit some of the water back up.

Despite only having that little sip of water Percy could feel his body slowly healing. Luckily Banner hadn't noticed, not that Percy had any energy to explain why he was suddenly burn-free and fading scars.

"What the Hades did he do to me....?" Percy muttered sorely.

Dr. Banner started talking to him appearing not to have heard. "I'm going to go tell the director. Don't do anything stupid, ok? Try not to sit up. A lot of your blood was lost." Banner's ramblings continued until Percy heard the sound of a thick metal door closing, locking all sound out.

So of course the first thing that Percy did was try to sit up. He moaned in pain but he managed to do it this time. Looking around, Percy could see he was in a white sterile room. Monitors beeped and hummed, he noticed his red coated CHB T-shirt and a couple of needles on another table.  But what he was really looking for was the cup of water Dr. Banner had put on the table.

Percy focused on the water, feeling the familiar tug in his gut. The water lifted out the Styrofoam cup and flew towards him. He felt refreshed as the water poured down his back and on his chest. The wounds slowly healed to scars and some of the scars even faded. Percy peeled back part of the gauze stiffly. He didn't see blood or scar but he quickly replaced the bandage. The less they knew the better.

"Percy Jackson!" The familiar, and quite annoying voice of Nick Fury boomed as he walked in.

"Finally someone got that right!" Percy muttered. He hoped Fury hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary, such as a teenage guy manipulating water to heal his wounds that he magically got from a nightmare. He'd have a hard time explaining that.

"Dr. Banner informed me that you were awake." Nick said looking at Percy with his regular eye. "And I would really like to know what happened in that corridor of my Hellicarrier."

Percy gave him a blank look. "What happened?"

"Well it seems that a flying monkey somehow managed to breech security and attacked one of my agents who was taking you back to your cell. You had been in the way and the flying monkey had scratched you as it threw you out the way." Nick Fury leaned closer. "I think we both know that's not what happened really."

Percy cocked his head. "What do you mean?"

"I think you were almost killed by a rogue part of your old alliance, thinking that you told us something." Fury started him down. " But I think your also hiding a secret. A secret with the name Annabeth."

Percy's heart almost stopped. How'd he know about her? His face must have said something, cause Fury was starting to look like he won the lottery.

"Perhaps a girl named Annabeth Chase, who disappeared from her home ten years ago. Who has been seen attacking people with a gold dagger, destroying buildings, stealing certain objects, and has been accused of murder attempts this country and Rome and Greece. Who has been noted to have amazing organisation skill, good leadership, and a high IQ. Who, until recently, SHIELD thought wasn't worth it's time."

Percy got a sinking feeling in his stomach. "How did you know about her?"

"SHIELD has a massive database with stacks of files on every person in the world. And, quite frankly, you talk in you nightmares."

Oh Gods. Percy knew where this was going and it wasn't going to be good.

"Now we know Annabeth Chase is the leader of a terrorist organization. And we know you're being black mailed into helping."

Percy sat in shock for a moment. Ok, That didn't go the way he thought it would. How the Hades did they come to that conclusion? That was just crazy. But then again so was the prospect of Greek Gods living on the 600th floor of the Empire State building.

If only Annabeth was here now. She undoubtedly would laugh in Fury's face. She would know what to do. She would've been able to save Jason and Hazel, with her smarts if nothing else. But Percy didn't even know where she was. He didn't even know if she was alive.

Stacks of files on every person...A huge database...

A crazy idea came to Percy. What if SHIELD could find Annabeth? The last he had saw of her was her, Nico, and Leo falling into a crack the earth. And all he had to do was pretend like he really had been being blackmailed....

Percy looked at Fury with sad eyes, as if his internal walls of confidence were breaking. Then he said the five words he knew Fury wanted to hear.

"How long have you known?"

--------------------{Time Skip}------------------------

Percy held his breath slightly waiting for Fury to either call his bluff or take the spool of lies.

He had just finished explaining how Annabeth had approached him with her offer and when he had said no, had threatened his family, Sally, his step dad, Paul, and his unborn sister. His mom had actually called him a couple nights before the attack at camp to tell him he had a sister coming, though she wouldn't tell him the name. Percy had used it to his advantage now, explaining how he couldn't let Annabeth hurt his family.

He had felt as if someone had punched him in his stomach every time he had said something that made his angel girlfriend look bad. His fatal flaw was loyalty and quite obviously he put a lot of loyalty in his girlfriend. But his hope of finding her was greater than his fear of Athena sending a flock of owls to eat him alive. He needed her by his side.

"No sign of them." A woman said briefly pulling Percy from his thoughts. He swallowed hard. He had heard Fury out her in charge of Finding Hazel and Jason. Or their remains. He had told them they were part of his team, also being blackmailed into doing this, with superpowers that allowed them to do some cool stuff. The woman left leaving the room silent. How could there be no signs? Maybe Dad pulled them to safety? Even as he thought it he knew it was a lost cause.

His eyes flicked to the rest of the Avengers, who Fury had "invited" to come and listen. In reality he had ordered them to get into the conference room so harshly that even the millionaire, playboy, Tony Stark was on time.

Fury was staring at him as if still waiting for more of his story. Percy found himself defending Annabeth suddenly.

"I don't think Annabeth was the actual leader though." Percy said wincing as he moved his arm. He was wearing a borrowed T-shirt from Steve, which he though was extremely weird. "I-I think she was being blackmailed, too. She was taking orders from someone else. She was constantly distracted, as if trying to figure something out. Something like how to shut down a terrorist organization. But the last I saw she was being shipped off to some undisclosed location."

Fury seemed to soak in this information.  "You said you fight with a sword."

"Yeah. Annabeth's processor thought it would be more memorable than shooting with guns." Percy said. Though he was sort of wondering what it would be like to fight monsters with a gun rather than a close contact sword.

Fury looked around the room at the rest of the Avengers. Percy couldn't read his face but he hoped Fury was thinking something along the lines of "This girl needs to be found as soon as possible, without delay." Fury pressed a button on his table.

"Agent Hill?" He said. "Get me eyes and ears on Annabeth Chase. Immediately." There was a cracked response of "Yes Sir" and Percy's heart started beating really fast.

"And as for you...." Percy looked at Fury, not knowing what to expect. Oops he didn't think this part out.....

"Percy," Nick leaned forward, "What would you think about being an Avenger?"
