I was watching the failed attempts at the mortals' version of my life with my girlfriend Annabeth, Nico, and Thalia when Mom got a phone call. Her face paled in shock before a smile broke out, strained but happy.

"Are you okay? What's going on?" she asked the person on the other end. Silence for a few seconds, then...

"What do you mean you need Percy's help with something?... No, I don't care, Director, my son has only been back in the states for a few months now. he was just at war.... He probably won't want to help you, if Thor's gonna be there. Especially if Loki's there... That's my final answer." she hung up.

"Mom, who was that?" I asked softly. she sighed as she brought out more blue cookies and some soda for us to snack on.

"Just an old friend Perce. He wanted help on a project and wanted you and a few of your friends to help him with it." she answered.

"Why can't we help? I mean, as long as we don't go to war, I think we'll be okay." Nico asked. He'd gotten a lot more comfortable around me and he'd realized soon after the war that his "crush" on me had just been respect and awe. He had since gotten more comfortable around me, Annie, and Thalia, even to the point where he laughed. 

"Nico, they want you to go halfway around the world again. To Sokovia." Mom said tiredly. "You guys have school work and camp repairs to do, plus, in Percy's case, I need help with Stella."

"Mrs. Jackson, Blofis, whatever you go by now, I think it would be a good idea to at least see what they want first before refusing. Just in case." Thalia suggested. "They could send someone to explain what they need us to do."

Mom groaned softly with a small "i'm too old for this" before handing Thalia the phone with a guy's number in it. "His name is Coulson. That's all I can tell you."

She wandered off to write her book, leaving us with the phone that Thalia wisely put on speaker.

Hello? someone asked.

"This is Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace, and Nico DiAngelo. I was told you needed our help." I answered him, speaking braver than I felt.

Ahh, Mr. Jackson, Mr. DiAngelo, Miss Grace, and Miss Chase, I was hoping I would hear from you. I'm Phil Coulson, and an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. needs your help.
