Will's POV

It was cold, so cold. I couldn't see anything. I heard a whimpering from the corner and crawled over there. The cuts and bruises from my last "session" killing me. When I got there, I saw Calypso. She looked like she'd also just been through a session. I healed the worst wounds, and then I held her and brushed/braided her hair until she fell asleep. I swore I'd never give in, I'd never doom everyone to slavery and torture.

That was what they were after after all. They wanted the demigods to serve them, to help take down the Avengers. HYDRA thought that by torturing us we would become compliant. Because apparently their memory wiping machine was broken and would take a month to fix and apparently making a new one would be to expensive. Frank, Calypso, and I were the only demigods here that I had seen so far, which was good. Healing just our injuries had taken a lot out of me so we only used my powers in extreme cases now. But the fact that they knew the machine worked on demigods worried me.

I lit up and looked down at Calypso's sleeping frame. She looked happy, that wasn't an expression often seen in this hellhole. Frank was curled up on the bed, but there was room for two if you didn't mind being a little cramped. I knew neither of them would mind so I picked up Calypso and put her on the bed. Sighing I turned towards the bathroom corner.

One of the many advantages, or disadvantages depending on how you look at it, of being a child of Apollo was I always knew exactly what time it was. I had been keeping track behind the toilet where the guards couldn't see. Today was day 8, in a few hours it would be day 9. For Frank and I anyway. They had brought Calypso in the day after us so for her today was day 7 and soon it would be day 8. I sighed and sat down with my back against the wall facing the door. Please dad, if you can hear me, help us. I don't know how much longer we can last.

Nico's POV

Hazel and I had been in the woods for a week now. No contact with anyone other than each other, no sign of the avengers, and no sign of anyone whose missing. We were tired and hungry, but we didn't stop. It was about 7 on the eigth day of Will missing. We were both beginning to lose hope.

"Nico look over there!" Hazel was standing on an outcropping of rock about 20 feet south west of me. I ran over.

"What is it, I don't see anything?"

"Sorry look on that cliff." She pointed about 100 feet ahead of us. "I sensed it first, but if you look closely you can see how the shadows form a sort of mouth. It's a door. We found them!"

I stared in shock, unable to completely process. 

"Well we can scout around a bit, but we should call the others. There is no way we're going to be able to storm whatever secret organizations base that is by ourselves."

We looked at each other and I saw an emotion I hadn't seen in her eyes in a while, the same one that was surely visible in mine. Hope.

Loki's POV

I had looked everywhere and couldn't find them. I had lost hope. I was 100s of miles from the compound and who knows what was nearby. I glanced up towards the sky to curse my bad luck when I saw an outcropping of rock through the trees. Remembering what Hazel told me about her powers I ran over to it. I could feel a warm sensation bubble through me. One I hadn't felt in a long time. Hope.

Piper's POV

It was my turn to watch the computers for any sign of anyone who was missing. But we had all began to lose hope. Will and Frank had disappeared almost 9 days ago. Calypso almost 8, the same day Nico and Hazel left. Loki had vanished about 7 days ago. Our only hope was that Percy had been gone for eight months and had turned up safe. So all of us held our breath and prayed.

Those prayers were answered in the form of a flash on the computer screen. There had been a sudden change in the terrain on the Florida Georgia border. Near a town called Darsey, about 15 miles east of it actually. A tower now loomed in what used to be a flat meadow. I zoomed in closer and saw it was made of precious metals and schist. I laughed, "Hazel."

I reached over and hit the four buttons I had ever been told to press if this ever happened. The first was one to wake everyone up and tell them its time to go. The second marked the location, because we knew they couldn't keep something like this up for long. The third took a picture of what the message we got was. And the fourth hadn't been explained, but it looked like an old fashioned pager. As soon as I hit it the screen lit up in a red and blue pattern with a star in the middle. I shrugged and ran to the living room, the designated meeting point.

Everyone had gotten there before me.

"Ok everyone, I pin pointed the location I got. It's about 15 miles east of a town called Darsey." Thor frowned at this, which was confusing but he was confusing so I shrugged it off. "Hazel sent up a message, no Tony I'm not mistaken this could only have been her heres the picture." The picture quickly went from hand to hand and all the demigod's agreed that that was definitely Hazel. "Great so lets get on the quinjet and head over."

Nat cut me off, "Did you hit tje fourth button?"

"Yeah"

"Then we need to wait a minute. She doesn't take long but we don't know how far away she is."

"Who?"

"Me." A smoking hot chick walked through the door. She was wearing a suit that was decorated the same as the pattern I'd seen on the pager thingie earlier. "Hi I'm Captain Marvel and I'm your backup lets go." All the demigods shrugged and headed over to the quinjet, it was time go get our friends back.

I could end it here, but I haven't updated in forever so y'all get a little extra treat.

Will's POV

The guards came at exactly midnight. For once they didn't come to drag any of us out, they were dragging some people in.

"I will speak english so you all can understand." The guard spoke for the first time ever simce I've been here. "Wake those two up."

I quickly got up and shoock Frank and Calypso awake. They looked up, then looked at me in confusion. I shrugged.

"Good. None of you have taken to the curriculum as we had hoped, so you will be combined sith the others. Some have taken some have not. You will work together on the curriculum."

He and the other four guys with him threw five people in the cell with us. Four I recognized from camp half-blood, but the last one was new to me. It was a young girl, maybe 13. She had white hair with blue highlights. Her eyes looked like they were on fire. But her face, had the same look of grief I had seen on to many faces before. The look of losing many people close to you.

"Hey I'm Will, whats your name?"

"Kayla, Kayla Maximoff."

So um hey guys *nervous laughter* long time no see. I hope all that helped make up for the wait a little bit. So I'm super sorry about the super long wait. I've had the worst writers block and have been dealing with a lot of personal issues (mental health, family, etc.) and school issues (grades, theatre, etc.) so I will try and update again soon. 

Ok so also this book just has a few more chapters in it, crazy right!, and I'm thinking of doing a sequel. Please let me know if you will read it in the comments. This little(second) blurb will be at the bottom of every chapter until the end so if your answer changes with time you can still tell me. If I don't have anyone interested by the time I finish this book I doubt I will right the sequel though, so please tell me if your at all interested.

Sorry for the super long authors note, I just felt like y'all deserved some explanation for my absence and I really needed to ask that. So have a fabulous morning, day, or night!
