Percy's P.O.V
Training was going good so far. I received an upgraded version of my outfit which was now vibranium laced and I got a shirt, since my armor is gone. It was a gift that Athena had given me after the Giant War and it was enchanted so that I could will it on. Unfortunately, that gift disappeared when I did. Thankfully Riptide stayed, it was good to feel it in my hand, perfectly balanced as usual. I also got a new trident which was wickedly sharp and gave off sonic blasts. My training regimen wasn't as intense as I thought it would be. Strength training, cardio, hand to hand combat then specialized combat. I got to talk to Ryan more since his training was getting less and less frequent, he had more time to visit. He told me of his encounter with dad and how they were on good terms now, which I was happy about. He also mentioned their conversation about his abilities which made me ponder my own demigod talents.
I had low level hydrokinesis. I had to really concentrate on pulling water from the air and I couldn't fly using it like Ryan. I could turn my body into water and water vapor fairly easy but had trouble maintaining liquid form. I couldn't manipulate all liquids, just water. Salt water was easiest to control. I was able to cause earthquakes and light tremors but even that exhausted me. I could breathe underwater with no problem. I had above average strength but nowhere near Thor or Steve's level. I figured I had something similar to sonar but I couldn't test it out anytime soon.
Nat was training with me, she of course had a head start. She was just as agile and spry as I remembered. A fierce, dangerous, sexy predator and I made sure she knew what I thought about it.
We made plans to move to Camp at the beginning of March, the penthouse was repaired but we couldn't risk going back. Agents were packing all our stuff now and sending it to HQ every day. All of this seemed to be happening so fast. Just yesterday I was brought back from gods know where and found out that I'm a father of two. Time flies.
We started homeschooling the twins, it was too dangerous to have them around regular kids anymore. Athakis liked math, he breezed through addition and subtraction and had moved on to multiplying already. He caught on to stuff very fast. Nat and I were so proud when Tony had told us that he's showing signs of early genius level intellect. He was adept at solving puzzles and analyzing things, he figured out how things worked a lot faster then I did at his age that's for sure.
Emilii was the same, though she was more of a visual learner. She loved to read. She could read her books all day and be as happy as a kid in a candy store. She didn't like picture books though, she claimed the pictures distracted her.
Amidst all of this Nat and I were still trying to figure out who attacked us on Thanksgiving. We ran scans of all the men dressed in black and nothing came up. No records, no I.D. It's like they were ghosts. Whoever they worked for was really starting to scare me, what could they possibly want with my family? And whatever the reason is they must want it really bad to send people who were untraceable with a backup plan in case they were captured. What were they after?

"Shit!' I said as I ducked. T'Challa had swung his arm at my head and I was just barely quick enough to dodge the attack. I leaned back on my right arm and kicked his legs but he swiftly blocked with his shins and brought his foot down on my knee and kicked me with his free foot. I slowly got up and prepared for another wave of hits. He was pivoting on his foot, switching between his left and right leg. When he charged I studied his movements and launched to fight.
He kicked twice at my stomach which I blocked with a simple swipe of my arm, then he deviated from the vertical attacks and swung at my side keeping his arms up which caught me off guard. Once his hit landed he jumped over me and swiped at my back. The cuts stung and I arched in response. I was met with a swift kick which left me sprawled out on the floor out of breath.
