"Bartender! Beers!" A group of guys shouted. I sighed, and grabbed five glasses, poured some beer in them, and then placed the glasses on a platter, and then I balanced it over to the table.

"Five beers coming in." I said, and placed each glass in front of every guy.

"Thanks, Jack." Big Bear said, and clapped me on the shoulder. I just shrugged, and walked away. Big Bear was one of my regulars. He always comes at night, and brings the creepiest guys, but at least I get a good sum of money. I place myself in my regular spot, behind the bar, and start to polish the glasses.

Lost in thoughts, I don't see a group of people come into my bar.

"A whiskey please," A guy with a goatee said. I glanced at him, and reached underneath the counter and grabbed a bottle of whiskey. I poured some in the glass, and pushed the glass over to the guy. He nodded, satisfied.

"We'll just take five glasses of water," A woman with furious red hair said. I nodded, and placed each glass in front of the five.

"Can I get a beer instead of water?" A blond longhaired guy, with a red cape asked.

"Thor no, you're having water." The redhead said.

"A beer coming up." I said, the redhead sighed, I just ignored it, and gave the blond man his beer. He smiled at me at the sight of his beer, but I just gave him a cold glare in return. I got back to polishing the glasses, listening to a few conversations. But what really caught my attention was what the six new people were talking about.

"So how do we catch a kid no one has a picture of?" The guy with a goatee asked.

"I don't know Tony, but first of all we need to know where to look." A blond guy with blue eyes replied.

"SHIELD has sent us a file on him, we could start with his mom?" Redhead said. I froze. SHIELD. These people were with SHIELD. Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division. These people had to get out.

"Yeah," Goatee said. "He has to get locked up, so Director Fury can interrogate him." I put down the glass and cloth.

"How do we find Perseus Jackson, if we don't even know what he looks like? We only have a picture of him from when he was twelve!" Goatee proclaimed furious. At the mention of the name Perseus Jackson, all talking stopped, everyone in the bar froze. A few men, including Big Bear stood up, the six people tensed up.

Big Bear walked over to the group, and placed a hand on goatee's shoulder. "I think it's time for you and your friends to leave." He said with a low and threatening voice.

"Uhm, I think not." Goatee said, and turned to Big Bear with crossed arms. Big Bear stepped closer to Mr. Goatee, and the blond guy had to pull Goatee back, before a fight would happen.

"Tony, he's not worth a fight." The blond guy said, and pulled Tony a little harder.

"Thank you Steve, I can take care of myself." Tony said. I watched closely, as Tony and Big Bear tried threatening each other with their glares. I sighed.

"Okay boys, outside if you're going to fight, I just got new furniture." I said. They both looked at me surprised. "And Big Bear, you know better than starting a fight." I crossed my arms, and slowly Big Bear withdrew. I nodded at his movement. Then I turned to the guy called Tony. "And you outside, if you're going to fight anyone." I said, my voice cold and sharp. He swallowed and nodded. I grabbed a new glass and started to polish it, but kept an eye on Tony and his friends.

"Thanks," The redhead said, and smiled at me. I just ignored it, I wasn't gonna make a bond with them.

"Jack! Five more beers!" Big Bear grunted, and laughed.

"Five beers coming up." I said, and started to make them.

"Hey Jack, can I ask you something?" The blond guy asked.

"Yes, but my name's not Jack. It's bartender. Only regular customers call me Jack." I said without looking up.

"Oh okay, but ehm. Since you meet a lot of people, then maybe you have-"

"I don't meet a lot of people, I just give them drinks, and then they pay me." I said cold.

"Have you ever heard of a man named Perseus Jackson?" That brought my attention, I looked at the blonde guy in his ice blue eyes.

"A Perseus Jackson?" I asked, and he nodded, his friends following the conversation. "No. I've never heard of him." I answered.

"Then tell us why everyone in here freezes whenever the guy's name is mentioned?" The redhead asked, narrowing her eyes and mine.

"I think it's time for you guys to leave." I said, not answering her question.

"Why don't you answer Miss Natasha's question, silly Midguardian?" Thor asked. I gave him my wolf glare, and he quickly shut up.

"Leave." I said, my voice filled with authority. Big Bear stood up, following the conversation, ready to take action if needed.

They slowly got up and left. I sighed, I hate those kinds of people.

"I can take care of myself, Big Bear." I said, he nodded and sat back down, playing poker again.
