The Convergence (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Ice Woman

Manhattan in the light of day looked almost post-apocalyptic. The crumpled buildings showed no signs of life, not even rodents or fowl dwell in the ruins. It was silent and ominous as the rubble of buildings towered above them, shadowing them almost in complete darkness for the sun had just risen and its light was not yet strong enough to push away the dark. Thalia (HoH) bit her lip, concentrating on what needed to be done, "Stay close, keep your eyes peeled for any monsters. Just because Manhattan has been destroyed doesn't mean that there is any exception."

Slowly the group made their way through the maze of the city, they came to an intersection where Thalia stopped them all, "Okay, I think it would be a good idea to split up and look for Percy. Piper, you take Annabeth from the first time and Grover from the fifth time. Leo, you take Thalia from the fifth year, Silena and Beckendorf from the fourth year. I will take Annabeth from the fifth time, Percy from the first time, and Grover from the first year. Grover, from my time obviously, you will take Percy from the fifth year, Rachel from our time, and Clarisse from the first year. Is that clear? Get in your groups."

Hazel frowned, "Thalia, what about Frank and I?"

"Frank since you are a shapeshifter--."

"How did you know he--."

"--Because I have been watching a few movies. Go and search the area from above, I thought Hazel would provide you some company." Thalia smiled.

The couple smiled and thanked her, Frank turned to Hazel, "Piggyback?"

She laughed and nodded, Hazel jumped on his back as he turned into a giant golden eagle and took off. Down below she saw the other groups of the expedition spreading out to search Manhattan.

"I hope we find him." She sighed.

"We all do," Frank replied.

After a few hours of searching, there was still no sign of the missing demigod, not until Piper chimed into the radio, "Thalia!"

Hazel's radio vibrated at the voice, "Yes, Piper?" Thalia (HoH) replied.

"We found Sally, but she has been frozen to a side of a building. Leo, could you make your way to us?"

The radio vibrated once again as Leo's voice came through the radio. "Yeah, Piper your position?"

"Just north of where Percy's apartment was located."

"On it!"

Thalia's voice once again came through the device, "All groups, go to that location immediately. Is that understood? All groups head that way immediately so we may get more Intel and take a small break."

Hazel bit her lip, "Frank can you see where they are from here?"

Frank nodded, his eagle eyes scanning the Manhattan below, "I can see them, but I want to check something out first before we go there."

"What do you see?"

"A building a couple of blocks from where they found Sally, it looks like there is a massive sinkhole inside of it." He said as he changed directions toward the building.

"Are you sure--."

"I see someone in there, Hazel, even if it's not Percy and just a mortal we still need to help them."

Hazel smiled slightly, "Fly on."

Frank dove toward the building and landed softly on the ground, allowing Hazel to slide off before changing back to human form. Hazel stared at the entrance of the building, the doors had been blown off during the destruction Manhattan had endured at Gaea's hand and inside laid only darkness except for small rays of light that checkered the ground below.
