Agent H2O

Planning

I sat on the floor staring at my wall, my back leaning against my bed. Why wasn't I good enough? I just lost a kid to the most dangerous organization in the world. What were they going to do to him? What was I supposed to do to get him back?

I wasn't allowed to search for Atticus because it was too personal. Too personal. They said my emotions would get in the way of me and anyone I worked with.

To top it off they even pulled me off the mission in seven days. They can't just take me off it like this. I hit my fist on the floor and screamed in frustration. I needed to do something.

Since S.H.I.E.L.D was going to be unhelpful then I would just make a mission myself. So I started planning. I could most likely do this alone but maybe I should bring someone with me.

All I had to do was find Atticus's location and the first place to start was going to the location that the mission was set for.

I'll leave tonight and I'll be back tomorrow night. I'll have Atticus and everything will be alright. I'll just have to watch my back more now.

Line break

It wasn't hard sneaking out of the tower. Once I was outside I needed to figure out how I was going to get to North Carolina. I couldn't ask anybody from S.H.I.E.L.D because they would know that I wasn't on a mission. I could take black jack or mrs. O'Leary.

Mrs. O'Leary would be they best and fastest choice but Nico would probably notice she was gone. So black Jack seemed the best choice.

I let out a loud whistle that turned heads. I grinned at the accusing faces then fled into an ally. Should've called him from there. Black jack'll find me.

I stood in the dark ally for barely ten minutes when my Pegasus flew in.

"Boss! Long time, so see."

I rubbed his head and scratched in his mane. He nuzzled my hand." Sorry, I don't have any treats today. I've got a rescue mission."

Once I was secure on his back, he took off. I missed this feeling. The feeling of the mind blowing through my hair. The high altitude freshness.

I shook myself out of the pleasure and began to form a plan for the touch down.

Line break

I walked through the empty halls as quietly as I could. I had no desire to get caught again. I held a gun in my hands before me ready to shoot anything that moved.

the door I was looking for was just ahead. This seemed too easy but what else could I do? I needed to do something.

I grabbed the door handle. I knew the once I opened it I would be surrounded. I turned it slowly listening for anything. I couldn't hear a thing except my own thoughts. I sighed and pushed the door open.

As expected I was instantly surrounded. Agents were on all sides and there was no escape except fighting.

I jerked to the side as something sharp jabbed into my back. My left hand went to the would and pulled out a dart. What ever had been inside was inside my system now.

Figuring that I might as well, I charged the closest guy.

It didn't take them long to take me down. I did get in a lot of good hits but what use is that when you're infinitely outnumbered. I really regret not bringing someone.

The hydra thugs pushed my along the halls and finally into a large empty room. One man stood in the middle. His back was turned but I didn't need to see his face to know who it was.

" I see you've come for seconds." The man chuckled.

" where is he?" The snarl hissed between my teeth." If you don't give him back I'll rip you to shreds." I pulled on the thugs but they barely swayed. They beat me down to the floor. A foot was pressed against the small of my back but a hand grabbed a fistful of my hair and jerked my head up.

The man laughed." I doubt you'll be doing anything of the sort for a while." He turned and beckoned at one of the guards.

There was silence of a few moments before the guard walked in with Atticus.

I called out to him in Greek. He didn't look up at me. What has they done to him?

" stop this. You want me. Don't hurt him. Please, let him go." I pleaded. I didn't want to see him get anymore hurt because of me.

The man approached me with Atticus at his side. He crouched at my head." You see, percy, I can't really let him go if I haven't been holding him captive." He winked at me.

What?

" how do you think we knew who you were? How do you think we found you? Did you really think that you saw anything we didn't want you to see? This kid here," the man ruffled Atticus's hair." Has been working for me since the beginning."

" liar." I struggled against the grips of the huge men. I looked up at Atticus. He wouldn't meet my eyes." Atticus? Look at me." I called to him in Greek.

" quit it." The twelve year old kid snapped.

I was baffled. The little trickster could speak perfect English. The confusion turned to anger." After all I did for you. I cared for you. I thought-"

" well you you thought wrong." Atticus folded his arms and turned away like a bratty child.

" stand him up." The man commanded. The agents obeyed and pulled me to my feet." Since you got all attached, which is never a good idea In this life, I'm gonna help you out." He pulled a gun off one of the agents and shot Atticus point blank. The kid fell to the floor in a thud that horrifyingly sounded like a sack of flour.

In that moment I froze. Did he? Was Atticus? When the fact that the man had just killed Atticus registers I exploded. I screamed curses at him. I could feel the building Begin to shake. Dust fell from the rafters. I screamed as a familiar feeling in my gut returned. Water crashed through the walls sweeping away the hydra agents.

The thugs had finally released me and tried to run. Where did they think they were going? I swept an arm and the water rose past their waists and swept them away as well. 

I breathed deeply and let the water drain. Body's were scattered on the floor. I had to go. I couldn't get caught here. I ran through the flooded building and outside.

It was about midday. I could make it back without anybody really missing me. I whistled and black jack came. I mounted and headed back to the tower.
