(Book 1) The Wolf Avenger (A Percy Jackson and Avengers Crossover)

Chapter 9: Rescue Missions

"Colonel Phillips." Steve started as he walked to the colonel with determination to find his missing friend.

"Well if it isn't the Star Spangled Man With A Plan, what is your plan today?" The Colonel asked a tad sarcastic.

"I need the casualty list from Azono (Sorry if mispelled)." Steve said slightly demanding

"You don't get to give me orders son." Colonel said as a lower ranking officer tried to order him, my shoulders stiffened feeling the threat but made myself calm down ignoring the feeling to tense and growl at the colonel.

"I just need one name, Sargent James Barnes from the 107th." Steve said worried for his friends safety, I rubbed the back of his leg trying to give comfort the best I could.

"You and I are gonna have a conversation later that you won't enjoy." The Colonel said pointing toward Peggy with a hard stare.

"Please tell me he's alive sir. B-A-R-"

"I know how to spell." Colonel interrupted Steve as he spelled Barnes name.

The colonel went silent for a bit as he stood up with an expression that made my heart and tail drop with sadness.

"I have signed more of these condolences letters today than I care to count, but the name does sound familiar. I'm sorry." Colonel Philip said and I knew he meant it.

Steve was downcast for a second before looking at the map, "What about the others? Are you planning a rescue mission?"

"Yeah it's called winning the war." The colonel said which made my hackles rise, the guy wasn't even going to try to save his fellow soldiers!

"If you know where they are then why not-" Once again the colonel interrupted Steve.

"They are thirty miles behind the lines, through some of the most heavily fortified territory in Europe. We'd lose more men than we'd save. But I don't expect you to understand that because you're a chorus girl."

I could feel the anger radiating off Steve but he kept his face blank as he looked at the jackass of a colonel. Maybe, once I reunite with mom I could have her turn him into a jackalope...mm sounds like a plan.

"I think I understand just fine." Steve told Colonel and I just knew he was about to do something reckless. Count me in!

"Well then understand it somewhere else," The colonel said as he started to move away from Steve and the map that contained the base where the prisoners were, "if I read the posters correctly, you got somewhere to be in thirty minutes."

I analyzed the the map along with Steve and heard him say, "Yes sir, I do." before feeling him moving away. After giving one last look at the map I followed Steve toward his Captain America outfit and shield.

"What do you plan to do? Walk to Azola?" Peggy asked as Steve started to pack a bag, I was sitting right beside him

"If that's what it takes." Steve said determined.

"You heard the colonel, your friend is most likely dead." Peggy said and I resisted the urge to growl at her for her bluntness and harsh words.

"We don't know that." Steve said and I flattened my ears trying to figure out if I wanted to give myself hope (for Steve) or not.

"Even so, he's devising a strategy. If he detects-" This time it was Steve's turn to cut Peggy off.

"By the time he done that, it could be too late." With everything packed I followed Steve toward the car

"Steve-" Peggy tried to argue as she followed us.

"You told me-" blah blah blah, just get in the car Steve so we can go see some action.
