The story of a lifetime (A Percy Jackson fanfic)

Chapter 5

Thor pov

Finally, some goodluck on our side. We have been looking for Loki for a while now and haven't found a trace of him till now. It was pure luck that we found him but we were grateful though. Tony had been looking at security camera's from this certain building where we thought we saw him last time.

*flashback*

We were looking at the camera recordings from yesterday when we battled some newbie-villain. We knew something was off, the battle was just too easy. We were searching for a clue as if our life depends on it. As if on cue I saw some teen running in the background. It seems as if he is unimportant but if you look closely you see he has a sword and is fighting against the enemy.

"What is that kid doing there and why is he using a baseball bat?" Tony asks.

I look at him in shock, why can't he see that it is a sword? I look at the rest of the team and see them watching the screen intently. They can't see the sword either. What is going on? Should I speak to father about this matter? Is this the doing of Loki and if so, why would he use a mere mortal?

"Thor, what's your opinion on the matter? Have you seen something like this before?"

My mind didn't seem to register what they say and I turn to look at my team. They were all staring at me to see if I had some answers. Their glares made me feel nervous and I said something smart like "huh?"

Tony facepalmed and I saw Clint hide his smile. Natasha cleared her throat and asked the question again.

"I have no idea, maybe it was my brother playing tricks with us? There's no way of knowing the truth. We should find out for ourselves."

"I could run facial recognition on the kid's face maybe S.H.I.E.L.D. has a file of him"Tony suggests.

Tony didn't even give us time to process what he said. He sprints to the computer and begins typing furiously (Is that even a word?) The triumphant expression on his face let's us know he has found something. He swipes his finger across the screen and the file of the kid appears on the big screen.

Name: Perseus Jackson
Age: 17
Mother: Sally Jackson
Father: Unknown
Siblings: None
Relatives: Unknown
School: Unknown
Adress: Unknown
Last known places: Greece and Italy

After that there wasn't any usefull information left. Tony scrolled down and we came across some photo's of the kid. His hair was ravenblack and was messy, which made him look like those skaterboy's girls adore. I expected his eyes to be as black as his hair but was surprised when they weren't. His seagreen eyes were breathtaking and looked like a raging ocean. A cocky smile graced his face which only seemed fit for him. The lad was handsome all right, the ladies were probably swarming all around him. Normally those teens were so full of themself but he seemed different, he seemed so... Humble was not the right word to discribe him but it came pretty close. Modest. That was the right word. I sneaked a glance at Natasha which she noticed. Her face grew red and she dodged my gaze. The others also noticed her face and were all grinning like madman. Tony was the only one who seemed to miss all the commotion.

"Guys.."

Our attention was drawn to Tony. His voice was calm but you could feel tha panic come from it. We turned around to face Tony, his face was pale white and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Something was definately not right.

"I found more photo's of Perseus in his file. A lot of photo's of when he is just younger and-and some photo's of him and h-his mother. His mother. She looks exactly like my long lost sister...."

We all looked at him dumbfounded. We didn't even know he had a sister. Tony abruptly stood up and he seemed far away. Probably lost in his memories.

"We have to find Perseus, my nephew, he could bring me to my sister. We have to find him."

His eyes were determent as he spoke, he wasn't going to let anyone get in between him and his sister. He stomped away and I guessed that we weren't going to see him for some time. When he crossed a corner I could see a single tear escape his eyes. This must be really hard for him. Knowing that his sister was alive this whole time and even had a child. I promise you Tony, we will find Perseus and his mother even if it is the last thing I will do.

*End of flashback*

We arrived at Loki's apparent hide-out, or at least we thought so. We knocked out the guards and stuffed them in a small cabin. The battle didn't last long as they new they were a minority. The yielded and we showed them mercy. We were just about to enter when we heard faint shouts. At first we thought we were discovered but no one came.

"On the roof! Someone is standing on the edge, I think."

We all looked up and watched the scene high above. It was really high, even if you aimed for the pool you wouldn't survive it. Suddenly the figure on the edge fell, or jumped, we couldn't spot the difference. The figure came closer and closer you could make out the shape of a teenage boy with black hair. Natasha gasped and realisation dawned on me. Perseus. Tony shot up in the sky in an attempt to catch him but he calculated the disstance wrong. He missed him by a few centimeters. Perseus fell down in the pool and sunk immediately to the bottom. We all stood there doing nothing. Shocked that the boy we were looking for just appeared in front of us. Clint was the first to shake it off and dove in the water. A couple of seconds later he broke through the surface. We pulled them out and lay the boy down on his back. He had a tranqdart in his neck, which was probably the reason why he fell. He didn't seem to have any bruises from the fall, heck if we didn't just saw him fall I would say he was perfectly healthy but that couldn't be!? I saw Clint lay his head on the boy's chest. He pulled his head back and his eyes were wide open.

"What's wrong Clint? Cat got your tongue." Tony joked.

"He ..... He is still alive."

No one knew how to respond to that unexpecting news. The boy they just saw falling from a building of at least 3 kilometers. His fingers were starting to twitch and he would wake up soon. He groaned and his hand instantly went up to his head. His eyes opened and he seemed nervous under our glares.

"I guess I'm not a Percy snack, right?"

In other situations I would have laughed my head off but this whole situation was just too crazy to be true.

"Ehm. If you are all done staring at me I would like to go, if you don't mind."

He slowly stood up and removed the dart and threw it away. He muttered something under his breath that sounded something like 'stupid Empousai and their bosses'. What is an Empousai? Somewhere in the back of my mind this word seems to trigger some forgotten memories but I couldn't reach them. He was fidgeting with his clothes and was trying to pull them right but it seems his clothes had other plans. He finally looked up and scanned us as if he hasn't noticed us before.

"Who are you? Are you with that Low key guy? Are you also gods?"

He fired tons of questions at us and he was going to ask more but Steve stopped him with a hand gesture.

"I think we should take this conversation to Stark tower. I don't know what's going on but I don't think they are eager to let you out of their sight."

As if on cue a team of armed men make their way outside and encircle us. A figure made his way through the crowd and I recognized him as Dagur, the big boss of the organisation.

"You didn't think we would just let you take our price".

Sooooo, that's it. Another chapter, I hope you like it. I don't know if I can but I will try to post another chapter before sunday.
