Chapter 1
🇺🇸Steve's POV🇺🇸
I enter the meeting room with the others, and sat down at my spot.
A few minutes later Fury came in. He threw a file on the table. "Bring him here alive." he said and left.
Nat grabbed the file. "He blew up three schools!"
"I need to meet this kid." Tony said.
"There's almost no Information about this kid." Nat pointed out.
"Let's go find him then." Tony suggested.
🕷Natasha's POV🕷
*Thirty minutes later*
We're waitng outside the Perseus's apartment building when we see a smokin hot muscular boy with messy black hair comes out and starts walking. We follow him.
After walking for thirty minutes he stops. I realize we were in a cemetary. He kneels down in front of eight tombstones.
"I'm sorry guys. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. If only I was faster I could have saved all of you." He said quietly. "But also thank you for risking you're lives for me." He said something quieter to each of them. He moved to the last one. I saw the name. Annabeth chase. Her last words were 'I love you, Seaweed Brain.'
As if on cue he said, "I love you, too, Wise Girl."
Why did he call her Wise Girl? I gave Steve and Tony the signal.
🐳Percy's POV🐳
"I love you, too, Wise Girl." I said.
A week ago, I deafeated Gaea and all my friends died. Here I was saying sorry and thanking them for what they did, when I felt five presences behind me.
"Hey, kid." I stood up and whipped around. When I saw them I tried not to laugh. Who goes around wearing a suit out of latex, or metal.
I decided not to judge. Leo would have made a suit out of metal. "Can I help you?" I asked sarcastically.
They looked at me shocked. "I'm Steve Rogers and this is Tony Stark." They stared at me longer. I just stared at them blankly.
"Don't you know the Avengers? We saved the world from the chitauri attack last month! You should be thanking us!"
Thanking them?! I saved the whole world and I'm not telling everyone. I lost my friends and because we were saving the world.
"Anyway, you need to come with us." Steve said.
"No, I don't."
"Uh...something to do with you being dangerous."
"I'm not going."
"Ok Perseus. We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
"What did you call me?" I knew exactly what they called me. It's just only monsters or gods called me by my full name.
"Perseus. Isn't that your name?"
Memories started flooding back. (Get it flooding. Puns. Don't judge me!) Annabeth lifeless body in my arms, the war with Gaea, all the bodies on the ground, my friends bodies on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Steve asked. I realized my fist were clenched. I unclenched them.
"Who are you? Who sent you?" I asked angrily.
"You have to come with us, Perseus."
"Don't call me that!"
"Perseus." Tony said, obviously trying to annoy me.
"We don't want to hurt you, just come with us."
I saw two other people hiding behind trees. I took my dagger out...well Annabeth's dagger. "Why are there more of you guys hiding?"
"Hard way it is."
All four of them charged. A woman with curly red hair had guns. She started shooting me. I dodged all of the bullets. I dodged all of their attacks. After a few minutes of fighting an arrow shot me in the leg. I limped towards where the arrow was shot. Before I even got there, I passed out.
🇺🇸Steve's POV🇺🇸
I toss the kid over my shoulder and looked at the others. He was pretty strong for a teenager.
We walked silently back to the helicopter and the rest of the way back to stark towers. When we did get back, Bruce bandaged his leg and I took him into a room. When I got back into the living room everyone was talking about what he could be or why Fury wanted him.
"What do you think, Steve?" Tony asked.
"I don't know. Maybe he did something to make Fury mad, or caused a really bad problem. Or maybe it has to do with the people he was visiting at the cemetary. The reason they're dead?"
"Hmm...you guys have very good guesses." someone said behind us. We all jumped and turned around. Why did Fury do that so much? "He's been one of the most wanted S.H.I.E.L.D criminals since he was twelve."
"Twelve?" Everyone, including me, asked surprised.
"Yes. Anyway he should be waking up soon, so we can test his abilities.
🐳Percy's POV🐳
I wake up in an unknown room (so I was obviously held captive) and the worst part is the room was grey.
It reminded me too much of Annabeth. She's dead. Everyone is. All of my friends. Dead! I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry, but I saw a security camera in the corner of my eye. After the fight I put up against those guys. I couldn't just act weak. Even if I was without everyone.
I saw the door open. "Perseus, are you awake?" I heard a man's voice ask.
"No." The guy laughed. I sat up. It was spangles. Yes, I call him Spangles. And yes, I am fully aware it's the name of a restaurant. "Where am I?"
"Stark towers."
"Why am I here?"
"How's your leg?" He was avoiding my question.
"Hurts a little. Now answer my question."
"You're one of the most wanted criminals."
"I thought I was off the hook. I should've stayed year-round." I mumbled. He heard me.
"What do you mean?"
"You weren't supposed to hear that."
"Okay...follow me."
"Fine." I got up and followed him. Remembering the way. Right, left, right, right, left, left, left, right.
"Go in and sit down. Someone will be in there in a second."
I sigh. And walk into the room. There was a table in the middle of the room. I plopped down in my chair. I looked around the room.
Why did the rooms have to be grey? They had a plasma tv and an Xbox.
"Ahem."
I jumped a little. I looked in front of me. It was tin can man. "Oh, hey."
"Can I ask you some questions?"
"I guess."
"What's six plus nine?"
I started counting with my fingers. He looked like he was going to strangle me, which made me smirk. "Uh...fifteen."
"Who was the second president of the United States?" I stared at him until I realized I didn't know. "Uh...thank you." He left.
Honestly, what did they want of me? I was twelve when I blew the arch up. But it was all the Echidna's fault. Everything that happened when I was twelve wasn't my fault. Everything that happened when I was twelve through eighteen wasn't my fault.
I noticed someone was waving their hand in my face. "Oh...hey." I said disappointed.
He frowned. "How's your leg?"
"It's fine. Why?"
"Uh...wanna play?"
"You shot me, didn't you?"
"Yeah, sorry."
"Wanna play?" He asked handing me a controller.
"I guess. What are we playing?"
"Call of duty; black ops."
*15 minutes later*
"How?" He asked. That was the seventh time I beat him.
"Rematch?" I asked.
"Nah, I'm good." He left and I was left playing by myself.
After two minutes someone behind said. "Wow, you're good!" I Recognized that voice.
"Hey, Spangles." Oh gods. That didn't just come out of my mouth.
"What?" He asked completely aware I called him Spangles.
"That's the nickname I gave you."
He laughed. "Do you have a nickname I can call you by?"
I thought about the nickname Annabeth and Thalia used to call me. I remember the day after the war, Thalia died and was also turned into a constellation by Artemis. "I have a nickname my girlfriend gave me. But I don't want you calling me it."
"Why? Is it embarrassing?"
"No. I just don't." I wasn't embarrassed. It's just all the memories of them would come back. I turned away from the game. "Anyway, what test are you giving me?"
He looked surprised. "How'd you figure it out?"
"Tin can was testing my knowledge and Arrows was testing battle strategy. So what are you testing me on?"
"Strength. Wanna arm wrestle?"
"Ok." I would finally have someone to take all my anger out on.
He put his arm out. I griped his hand. He had a strong grip. "Go!" He said.
I thought about everything going wrong in my life. Annabeth gone. My friends dead. Being here. Just about everything and beat him in less than ten seconds.
"What? How?" He asked surprised.
"Why are you so surprised?"
"Because I'm a super soldier."
"Wanna go again?"
"Yeah." We griped each other's hands and in less than five seconds I beat him.
"Rematch?"
"No, I'm fine. Bye." He left and someone else came in.
He sat down. "Hi, am Dr. Bruce Banner, and I'm going to ask you some questions."
"Ok." I said slowly.
"So first, have you been sleeping well?"
"No." I admitted.
"Why?"
"Next question."
"Have you been diagnosed with any...problems."
"I have dyslexia and ADHD."
"Ok, I'm going to say a word and you have to say the first that pops into your head."
I nodded and he started. "Red."
The blood of two demigods. "Blood."
"Fire."
"Leo."
"Friends."
You and your friends will die. "Dead."
"Death."
"Nico."
"Hope."
"Gone."
"Happiness."
"Lost."
"Uh...War?"
"Sacrifice..."
He stared at me. I think I weirded him out to much. "Um...uh...thank you." He left. This is very annoying. They ask me questions, say thank you, and leave.
I wish Annabeth were here. I wish everyone was here.
"Perseus! Are you listening?" A woman asked.
"Huh? Oh. Yeah. And it's Percy."
"I'm going to ask you some questions about your family. Ok?"
"Yeah."
"So, what's your moms name?"
"Sally Jackson."
"Father's?"
"My step-fathers name is Paul Blofis."
"Do you know your real dad?"
I looked at her straight in the eye. "I have seen my dad two or three times. He doesn't matter." I heard thunder after that.
🕷Natasha's POV🕷
I swear after he said his dad isn't important, I heard thunder. I must have been hearing things because the sky was completely clear.
I remembered the names on the tombstones. "What about your friends?"
His fists clenched. "They're dead." He said angrily. "All of them. Dead! I could have saved them! If only I was fast enough! I could have saved everyone! Including Annabeth." His knuckles were white. I was scared he was going to attack me. "I should've died! Not them!"
"Um...ok, thank you." I left before he weirded me out to much.
🐳Percy's POV🐳
She just had to mention my friends. I couldn't take it anymore. "They're dead. All of them. Dead! I could have saved them. If only I was fast enough! I could have saved everyone. Including Annabeth! I should've died! Not them!"
"Um...ok, thank you." She left. And I still wish she hadn't brought up my friends.
After a few minutes of waiting, the woman and a guy in a eyepatch came in. He slammed his hands on the table. "Who do you work for, Jackson?"
