Percy

The lady led me to a tower.

It was cool. Not Olympus cool, but cool.

We walked into the building. The lobby was cool. Everything was cool. Until Natasha led me to the elevator.

   I froze up. I was afraid of elevators since the Doors of Death.

   "Don't tell me you're afraid of elevators,"

    "Do you have stairs?"

    "Yeah, over there. Its the seventy fifth floor though."

    I walked into the stairwell, seventy-five huh. I've suffered worse. The minute the door closed behind me it locked. Don't trust me do they? Smart.

I started climbing. Zeus, please don't murder me please, I silently prayed as I went up each flight.

    I arrived about ten minutes after her. I wasn't even out of breath.

   I looked around. The room was huge! Natasha glanced up at me. I noticed a couple of guys on the couch.

   "Hey, kid," One of them said. He had blonde hair.

   "Don't call me kid," I said with an edge to my voice.

    "Okay, Perseus-"

   "Percy," I interrupted.

    "Okay, Percy we need to ask you some questions."

    "Okay, shoot. Can't guarantee an answer though."

    "Where do you go during the summers?"

    "Summer camp,"

     "Where?"

      I kept silent. He probably thought I was lying, I kept fidgeting from my ADHD.

     "Are you diagnosed with anything?"

     "ADHD and dyslexia,"

     He seemed to believe me. Which is good because I wasn't lying.

    "Are you a terrorist?"
 
  I laughed. Blondie looked miffed. Sure, I have blown a few things up, but those were accidents. At least most were. We kinda did blow up that parking lot.

    "No," I was struggling to hold in my laughter.

    "If you could have one thing in the world what would it be?"

    I had to think on this one. I could say my friends back. Or I could say world peace. Or I could say to live a happy life with my family.

   "I don't know,"

"Okay Percy, my friend is just gonna to give you a psychological exam."

This should be fun. I love messing with people.

Bruce

I walked over to Percy and shook his hand.

   "Hey, Percy, I'm Bruce Banner."

   "Hi,"

   "I'm going to say a word then you say the first thing that pops into your head, all right?" He nodded.

   "Red,"

    "Blood,"

     "War,"

      "Sacrifice,"

     "Peace,"

     "LOL,"

      "Death,"
