Avengers - Age of Half Bloods

II

Nat's POV

(Avengers Tower)

   "How did it go?" Steve asked as I walked into the meeting room with Clint, where everyone was waiting for us.

   "We got in, but he wasn't there, so we took the girl instead, she's currently in a holding cell, we'll start the interviews tomorrow" I summarised, sitting down on the nearest chair. "It's not what we expected, but I have a feeling she's not your typical dumb blond"

   "I'll notify Fury" Steve replied, standing up and walking out of the meeting room.

   "We need to tighten defences" Clint said, "We don't want her escaping or the boy saving her"

   "Already done" Tony replied, fiddling with some metal contraption.

   "Well then we can all have a good night's sleep" Steve said, standing up and walking down the corridor towards his room. Everyone else slowly followed until it was just me and Tony sitting alone in the darkened room.

   "You're not going to bed?" Tony asked, still looking down at whatever he was working on.

   "There's too much to think about" I replied, "Something about them just, bothers me, you said the boy could control water?"

   Tony looked up, "He picked up half the Hudson river and chucked it at me, ruined my suit" He said, "But I'm a scientist, I can't tell you much about stuff like that"

   "You think he, isn't natural?" I asked,

   "He chucked a river at me without breaking a sweat" Tony replied, "That's definitely not normal"

   "Thor would be helpful in this situation" I said, "I'm going to try and contact him"

(The Next Morning)

   We moved the girl into an interrogation room, she fought against us, but we had taken all her weapons and she was no match for us unarmed. I walked into the room and sat opposite her,

   "Good morning" I said, she stared at me with unusual steel gray eyes but didn't respond, "I'm going to ask you a few questions okay?" She continued to glare at me and still didn't respond, not even a twitch of her mouth,

   "What's your name?" I asked, it was a pleasantry that we could find out easily, but I wanted to see how she would respond. Not at all, it turned out.

   "We are being very nice at the moment" I said, "If you do not cooperate there are other ways to gain information from you, so I ask you again, what is your name?" She didn't even blink, her expression remained completely blank, fearless.

   I taped the comms unit in my ear and heard an agent reply, "Her name is Annabeth Chase, born in Virginia to Richard Chase, but no mother is mentioned, she ran away from home at 7 and had no schooling from then till 6th grade" I nodded.

   "So Annabeth" I said, hoping for a reaction, but none came, "Who is your mother?" Something changed in her eyes when I mentioned her mother, maybe there was bad blood between them. "She's not listed on your birth certificate" I continued, "Why is that?"

   "Not important, I've never met her, never will, I don't even know who she is" Annabeth replied, good, she was talking, I could tell it was a lie but lies were better than nothing.

  "Mmh, and what about your step-mother?" I asked, repeating the question that I was suggested, "Would you say you have a good relationship with her?" She stayed silent again, maybe there was bad blood between her and her step-mother as well.
