broken

chapter one

Annabeth POV

"Percy? Percy? We did it. We did it."

I look at him, and he looks broken, more than before. I turn around and see the bodies. Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, and so many more.

"Leo did it," Percy says, staring at the sky where the explosion had been.

"Yeah, he did." I look at him and he wraps me in a hug.

Why did victory come from so much pain?

*1 week later*

Tony POV

Fury calls us in for an emergency meeting.

"Avengers, I need you to detain and interrogate these kids," he says, handing us two files with classified stamped on them. Steve, Wanda, Bruce, Clint, and I just stare at the files before Nat asks,

"Kids? You want us to interrogate kids?"

"Well, 17 year oldsm but yes," Fury says.

I take one file, Nat takes the other.

Perseus Jackson (middle name unknown)

17 years old

Limited education, expelled from multiple schools.

Crimes include:

Blowing up a bus (12)

Fighting man on motorcycle (12)

Blowing up a school gymnasium (13)

Ok, there's many more but i don't want to read them.

"Holy shit, how could a 17 year old do this?" Nat asks, throwing the other file down on the table.

I look at the name:

Annabeth Chase (middle name unknown)

"Yeah, this is absurd," Steve says, glancing at the boy's file.

"See what I'm saying?" Fury says, "Detain them. Now. THey've just been spotted.

"Where?" I ask

"A graveyard," He says.

"Fine," Steve pipes up. "Nat and I will go."

Annabeth POV

I sob into Percy's chest as they bury the rest of the seven. Besides Leo. They couldn't find his body.

Everyone leaves, muttering their condolences.

I don't hear them, and soon, it's just the two of us.

I fall to my knees in front of their graves. PErcy hugs me, shielding my body from the outside.

Why?

Why do the fates not care?

My thoughts are interrupted by Percy's yelp of pain.

Percy POV

Something stabs me in my left side.

A tranquilizer dart?

I pull it out and follow its path to see a redheaded woman. Annabeth pints to the women's left, and I spot a guy in a red, white, and blue spandex suit with a shield on his back. Captain America?

The woman shoots another dart to Annabeth, but she catches it.

Several darts are shto until one lands in Annabeth's thigh.

Uh-oh, Annabeth's mad.

Annabeth grabs her daggers out of nowhere and starts to throw them at the woman. Captain America throws his shield at me, but I catch it and throw it back.

"Hey, I'm Percy."

"Steve Rogers." I know that, obviously, but I'm trying to buy time.

I look at the redhead and see that she landed another dart in Annabeth's stomach, but she's still standing. She can't take much more. Annabeth smiles at me before throwing another dart at the redhead. The woman dodges and shoots a dart.

Dodge.

Dagger.

Dodge.

Dart.

Dodge.

SHIELD!

I forgot about Steve.

"Come on man, I don't want to hurt you," I tell him.

He rolls his eyes and lands a punch in my gut.

"Ow!" I yell.

Another dart lands in my arm.

"Double ow," I say. "Steve?"

"Sorry Percy."

I look over to see Annabeth unconscious on the ground with a dart sticking out of her side.

"Annabeth!" I run over to her and pull out the dart.

I stand up and look at the woman. Bad idea.

A dart lands in my stomach, and I fall.
