Organized
Steve stormed into the meeting room. Everyone was already there, Tony, Wanda, Natasha, Clint, Thor, Bruce, and Vision. Steve sat down and ran a hand through his hair. Tony sighed before he started to talk.
"We should have seen it coming." He tapped his fingers on his whisky glass before picking it up. "The damage, thankfully, was confined to the base. It was just one of many of our storage compounds, but it was one of the larger ones." He gulped down the rest of his drink before setting it down. "The guards had no way to beat him, and yes we know it was a male, they are just regular men and women."
"What did the girl tell us?" Steve asked as he bit his lip in thought.
"Nothing. Short of torturing her we aren't getting any information." Clint added, he was leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed. "But we do know it's the same group, one of the guards saw the back of the man's uniform. It's the same symbol from the girl's suit. Well, that and the fact that he could shoot fire from his hands." Clint chuckled lightly while shaking his head.
Bruce pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose before saying his piece. "Should we update the boy?" The air was sucked out of the room. They hadn't talked to Percy in two weeks, ever since he stormed out. "He could have an idea."
Thor nodded his head. "He does have an idea, I guarantee that. And we should update him but be careful, do not get his family wrapped up in the trade of knowledge." The others nodded, except Tony.
"Should we tell him? He could have something to do it, all this started when he joined." Tony didn't miss the glare Thor threw his way. "Be honest with yourselves, do we really trust him? Can we trust him?"
"We can, and we should." Thor growled as his grip tightened on his chair's arm rests.
"Fine, we trust him, but what the hell could he think of that we can't?" Tony was getting mad now. How would a teen be able to solve this? Why was Thor ignoring all the questions he was asked about this Percy guy?
"Because he has experience and . . . a bit of a secret weapon." Thor was thinking about how to put this without revealing what he knew of Percy.
"What 'secret weapon'?" Tony glared. He didn't trust the lack of information he could get. "Answer the damned question!" Tony's hand slammed down on the table.
"I can't do that. I have sworn not to reveal anything and I wouldn't do it even if I hadn't!" Thor was angry now, why couldn't Tony just drop it? "If the boy tells you, he tells you, but I'm not doing it for him."
"Fine." Tony snapped, he could tell this wasn't going to get him anywhere. "They're organized, we know that. We should bring in Percy, it couldn't hurt at this point." Steve nodded while thinking.
"Wanda, can you bring him here? He has school today so you can wait outside his apartment and talk to him without talking to his parents." Steve turned to the young girl in her red coat and black clothes. She swallowed the lump in her throat and nodded.
"Then, dismissed. I'll contact you if Percy will come here." Steve waved everyone off. Wanda was the first to leave, she had a job to do. Natasha went after her, just to give advice.
"Wanda." Natasha caught up to the Scarlet Witch. Natasha was in a white blouse and black dress pants. "When dealing with Percy, be patient, he can be very defensive you just have to play nice. He isn't mean or rude, just very protective of his family."
Wanda nodded before leaving. She had to change, so she would blend in. A pair of black jeans, a red sweater, and her hair braided over her shoulder, and she was ready to go. She took a taxi to Percy's street and got out to wait by his building's door.
Not long after she could see Percy was walking down the side walk towards his apartment. He was wearing a blue swim team jacket, a pair of blue skinny jeans, and a green T-shirt. His black hair was ruffled as usual. A blonde girl, wearing a pair of shorts and a white tank top with a blue baggy hoodie over it, was walking hand in hand with him.
When Percy looked up from the blonde and saw Wanda his grip tightened on the girl's hand and her eyes flew up too. Wanda walked towards them, slowly and calmly. Percy's eyes hardened as he shifted himself ever so slightly in front of the blonde girl.
"What?" Percy asked. The blonde girl scanned Wanda, like she was thinking about how to take her out if she needed to.
"Percy, we have information to brief you on. That's all." Wanda held out one hand in front of her in a gesture of 'please wait'. "Will you come with me, or do you want to be briefed another time?" Wanda looked at the blonde.
"I'll go now. Wise Girl, can you tell my mom I had to stay after school or something?" The blonde nodded before Percy kissed her quickly and started to follow Wanda. "What happened?"
