Percy works with Tony Stark

18. An Unmasking

"A lead?" I asked interested. If this involved the Gods, I'm sure they were careful with their dealings.

"We got an anonymous report who called in about a conversation they overheard. They said that they were part of a group that was captured but saved, probably by one of you." Fury supplied.

"This is where you get involved, Tony," Fury said, sliding his file over to Tony. He opened it and his eyes widened in shock.

"No way- but this is-" Tony was rendered speechless by the file so I peeked over his shoulder.

Ah- this is how there's a lead. Right in the corner of the page was a picture of me. "What's the meaning of this?" I asked Fury annoyed. 

"What?" he asked. "Do you know him? Then you need to tell us because we got a report of him working with the Sins."

Peter was curious about what got Tony so shocked, but I snatched the file out of Tony's hands before he could see.

"What was that for?" Tony asked angrily.

"Who is it?" I asked innocently, tilting my head to inspect the picture. It was definitely real, it was a blurry picture of someone in a café, but clear enough to tell that it was me.

"My old assistant," Tony said, snatching the file back. "Anyways, what is this about? He's a good kid, I don't think that he would really be working with them."

Before I could be touched, Fury interjected, "you never know, it matches up to when he went missing too. Not to mention that they wanted to recruit you first?"

Tony still looked skeptical.

"Didn't they know exactly what to ask for?" 

Tony tensed up.

"Are you talking about Percy?" Steve asked.

"Haven't heard that name in a while," Natasha said.

"Wow he was even close with Natasha?" Peter asked.

"Is that all the tip said?" I asked. What did Fury want to accomplish here? Because I sure as Hades wasn't going to give him what he wanted this easily.

"Hmm, that's basically it," Fury said innocently.

"So Percy's still alive? You know where he is don't you?" Tony asked Fury.

"Not yet, but we did find the "anonymous" tipper." The door opened and a girl who only looked like she was in her teens stepped in. Of course Cap tensed up immediately.

"Another kid?"

"Calm down and just listen to her," Fury said. Age definitely didn't equal ability where I came from, and judging from the situation, this is probably connected.  This just got messy. I looked towards Fury. Does he know about that yet?

"Please you have to believe me!" The girl desperately cried. Even I let out a scoff. But that only pushed her closer to tears. "I was so scared, I just don't wanted anyone else to go through what I did," she said resolutely. After gathering herself, she went on; "Just before I made it out, I heard them talking about reporting back to their boss. They said Percy John- no- Jackson."

Gods dammit, I still had to deal with this here?

She continued, "and they were even scared of him, it looked like he was a huge tyrant." She looked up to see if anyone believed her words.

"Well that certainly doesn't seem like him, but anyone can change right?" Clint sighed.

"Did you see him?" Nat asked.
