Percy Jackson; the SHEILD Agent

Old Faces

Previously:
The thunder god the stood up with Loki in his arms. "I will take him to Stark's tower," he said, "Where he can rest."

I nodded just as I got Hills in my ear over the comms. "The council is on the line," she said.

"Which one?" I asked. Please be the Olympians, please be the Olympians, please be the-

"The world council," she said, "oh, and your uncles and your father all want to speak to you."

"Got it," I said.

Both councils? I thought. What could they possibly want?

I had a split second to decide which council I wanted to talk to first and I almost went overtime because I did not feel like talking to either. That and I was busy fighting chitari. Who knew it took so much effort to fight an alien race? In the end I turned on my Bluetooth and spoke with the human council via phone while I made my way to Olympus.

In order to get to the Empire State Building as fast as possible, I had to run past Rogers and Natasha. Convenient since now I can tell someone where I'll be for the next hour. At least the I hoped it only took an hour. Knowing me, it could take the better part of the day.

"Nat!" I shouted, waving as I approached. "Uncle Z needs me!"

I saw her wave as I ran past, too busy wrangling a spear from an alien to ask why.

"Hello, World Council, it's nice to hear from you, I hope you aren't being attacked by alien life forms as we speak," I said, picking up the call.

"Agent Kelp, this is not the time to be joking around, hand the phone to Director Fury, if you please," a council man's voice sounded through my ear.

I silently cursed, I forgot Agent Kelp's voice was different from Fury's. "Yeah, one sec.," I reached up and touched a button on my Bluetooth that changed my voice.

"You have reached Director Fury," I said, hacking away at a chitari that was entirely too curious about where I was going.

"Fury, we did not agree to get the Avengers together," the guy said.

"How else would you say we fight the aliens?" I retorted.

"The council has decided to send a nuclear bomb to wipe out the threat," a girl said this time.

"Are you crazy?" I said, "You'll wipe out the entire city of Manhattan!"

"The council has made a decision-"

"I recognize that the council has made a decision but seeing as it is a stupid as Dionysus decision, I've elected to ignore it," I interrupted the council man, angrily stabbing an alien. "Unless I know my team can not hold the fort, I am not going to resort to such drastic measures."

I ripped the Bluetooth out of my ear, turned the voice changer off and stuffed it in my pocket before realizing I needed it to communicate with Agent Hills. I reluctantly put it back in and continued on my way to Olympus.

By the time I realized where I was, it was already too late. I was slashing at chitari almost on auto-pilot and I almost slashed off an arm of a non-human in my daze before I realized they were not an alien.
