Fighting for Something More

Chapter One

2013

Manhattan, New York

Percy Jackson's Apartment

0600

A year after the battle, Percy had gotten used to working local with S.H.I.E.L.D. She had been hired by Fury under the impression that she was to be trained by both Romanoff and Barton. Granted, she already had experience in fighting. She just needed training in espionage and other forms of spy work.

In the year since the battle, she and Natasha have gotten closer. With the reveal that she wasn't originally from this world but from another universe, Fury had Natasha watch her movements to ensure she wouldn't harm the planet.

Six months after she landed on Earth 616, she fell through a sparking portal into Nepal, specifically, Kamar-Taj. The training grounds for Sorcerers and the home of the Sorcerer Supreme.

"Perseus Jackson, you do not belong here." A older bald woman spoke. Her eyes showing much wisdom as well as dark secrets. This was the Ancient One. Current Sorcerer Supreme and Guardian of the Multiverse.

The raven haired girl turned around, her hand grasping her pen.

"Yeah, no shit. It's not like I had a choice in the matter." She replied sarcastically.

This caused a confused expression to appear on the Ancient One's face.

"If it was not your choice, then why are you here? Surely you have family back on your world."

Percy rolled her eyes.

"Where I come from, Greek Mythology exists. From the Protogenoi to Demigod's. My father is Poseidon, God of the Sea's and Earthquakes. The Fate's themselves gave me this quest. Something about saving lives that didn't have to be taken. Also, something about stopping someone called Thanos. Not really sure who that is but he sounds like a pain in my ass." She rambled.

The Ancient One stopped what she was doing, turning around and looking at Percy with wide eyes.

"If you are here to stop Thanos, then you'll be here for awhile. Unfortunately, there is now way to get you home. If you would like? I could have Wong train you in the Mystic Arts to aid in your fight against the Mad Titan." The Ancient One offered, having seen the future and knowing how many lives would be lost.

Percy shook her head no.

"I can't, if Thanos is as terrible as you claim him to be, then he will fall only to my blade." She explained, knowing that Zeus would throw a fit if she came back with the ability to make portals.

The Ancient One simply nodded her head, even though she already knew the answer, she had to ask.

"Very well, I'll send you back to your apartment Miss Jackson. Though I will ask you this. What will you do if the one you love has to give their life to end Thanos?" The raven haired woman pondered the question for a moment.

"Whatever it takes." She looks directly into the eyes of the Ancient One. Not backing down from the equal stare down that she receives.

With a subtle smirk, the Ancient One forms a portal and Percy walks through.
