Natasha POV:
The scan had come up positive. And a phrase Percy spoke echoed in my head, these are literally nothing compared to what a certain relative can do. And has done. Many times actually.
That phrase, the godly power, the skill, and the warnings about our mortal minds from Paul Blofis. It all pointed to Percy being related to Thor.
And so Fury's first orders were to get a hold of Stark, so he could get word to Thor. Banner had said he'd take care of it, and honestly I'm a little worried for the guy. He'd sounded terrified.
Now after driving to the cabin, we spotted a car leaving. Percy. We tailed them, and once I'd gotten them to pull over... Steve got out with them.
He wasn't handcuffed or threatened. Therefore he'd probably gone to give the kid a chance to atone. I can't say I'm surprised, or angry or betrayed. I probably would've gone too, though maybe with a slightly different approach, and spoken with him.
Steve just stared, and I focused my attention on the others.
There was the boy who took out Clint, and Percy. As well as two adults I'd never seen before. Were they Asgardian too?
Before I could attack, speak, or even breathe, Bruce's voice came through my earpiece.
"Thor should be there soon,"
I didn't respond, simply watched, observed. Two of them had swords at their sides, one a bow slung over his shoulder. Percy seemed unarmed, but he could pull that sword out from nowhere again. The other three stood in front of him, as shields it seemed.
I stood from my crouching postition, and the possible-Asgardian enemies drew their weapons. Except for Percy. In fact, he stepped forward and reached a hand out to stop his allies from attacking.
He turned and spoke something I coudn't catch. They all nodded in response, albeit they clearly weren't very happy about it.
This time, Percy spoke to me, "Alright. It's me you want. So take me. I'll come peacefully, but let my friends go, and speak to no-one about the cabin,"
I released the hold on my knives, sheathing them again.
"Deal,"
Percy stepped forward, but his golden haired friend grabbed his arm and spoke into his ear, to which Percy whispered back.
Something was going on here. Something S.H.I.E.L.D wasn't seeing. It wasn't just a sense in my gut anymore, I knew it as fact.

Bruce POV:
When Fury ordered for Thor to be contacted, he practically confirmed my worst fear. It seems now that our target is Asgardian. Especially now with Natasha's briefing.
Quote: "these are literally nothing compared to what a certain relative can do. And has done. Many times actually."
I believe he is speaking about Thor. This theory is backed up by the godly power scan coming up postitive, and the teleportation ability used by one of Jackson's allies, it appears to be similar to Loki's ability.
That part actually confirmed my fears.
The team is going after a Asgardian. Or rather, going to question one now, thanks to Natasha.
However, I still can't shake the feeling that this isn't the end of our struggles with this kid.

Percy POV:
I couldn't help but wonder what happened to Steve, as I was carted away into their car, then knocked out and now in a cell of some sort.
My thoughts were interrupted by a door opening, and a dude with an eyepatch walking in.
"Let's skip the nonsense," He started, "You know why you're here. So tell me Perseus, what are you?"
Wide-eyed and playing the innocent kid act, I looked at him like he was speaking gibberish, even though I knew very well he was onto me, "What do you mean what am I? I'm human. Aren't you?"
His eyes hardened, "I guess we're not skipping the nonsense then."

Tony POV:
I liked this kid. Even if he was an international terrorist.
What do you mean what am I? I'm human. Aren't you?
Looks like five years didn't have any effect on the strength of his sass.
Fury looked less than impressed however, I could tell even though I'm behind one-way glass and his back is to me.
"We know all about you Perseus. Your Mom, Step-father, who we actually have detained, your trip to Greece, oh and that little summer camp we're about to go investigate,"
Percy looked like he had seen a ghost.
Fury tried to get his attention, and failed. So for some reason that meant calling me in.
Sitting down, I noticed him murmurimg a...prayer? I snapped in Perseus' face and the kid came back to reality.
He gestured to the glass and spoke, his words almost too fast to follow, "Make them leave. Turn off the cameras and I'll tell you everything,"
Fury tapped on the glass twice from the other side, signaling that they'd do just that.
As soon as the light on the camera in the corner went off, Perseus gripped my forearms.
"You need to stop that team from going to the camp."

AN: School started earlier this week, and so far I'm uncertain about how it'll effect my updating schedule of twice a week. It should be okay for now, but I'll let you all know if it changes.
