Rise of New Olympus

Chapter 2

Percy-

Maria Hill was showing me the video of me falling from the sky on a high-tech tablet thing. In the video I saw Scarlett Johansson. I thought I was looking at a movie scene. "Scarlett Johansson?" I exclaimed. "She is the Black Widow in Avengers? Stoll brothers have a crush on her."

Maria Hill looked tensed, she narrowed her eyes and looked at me suspiciously. "Who's Scarlett Johan...?" She got cut off by a massive quake. Emergency alarms blared off. She stood up alarmed, pulled out her gun and pointed it at me. "Who are you? How do you know about agent Romanov? Who do you work for?"

Instinctively I put my hands up. Now I was genuinely confused. First I get hit in the head and fall into Tartarus. But instead of Tartarus, I fall into someone's swimming pool from a hundred feet. I wake up to find myself in an unfamiliar place. Then this woman comes, first she asks me questions with a smile, then points a gun at me. "Whoa, Whoa! Easy there, miss. Don't shoot me. What did I do?"

"Don't act like you don't know, Black Widow is a codename of agent Natasha Romanov. How did you find out, are you a spy?"

"I'm... I'm not a spy! I'm just a normal kid. Who's Natasha Romano...?" I gasped as I realized. "That's the name of Black Widow, she's one of the Avengers! Scarlett Johansson plays her in the movie." I said excitedly.

"Don't take me for a fool boy, you think she's an actress?" She asked pointing at the video, I nodded in answer. Her eyes widened, she was about to ask another question, but another quake interrupted her. She grimaced and put her index finger in her ear. "This is Agent Hill, what the hell is going on? What is all this commotion about?" Whatever the person on the other side said, it made her eyes wide with surprise. "Yes sir, of course, I will sir." She frowned.

I was looking at her dumbfounded, my hands still in the air.

Third Person POV-

As Thor, Steve and Tony emerged on the runway of the Helicarrier, they saw a golden chariot. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had surrounded the chariot and were pointing their guns at the rider.

The rider was huge, compared to others around him, almost as big as Hulk. He had brown hair and finely trimmed beard. His clothing was Greek styled, white with gold lining. Gold bracelets adorned his arms. A golden circlet like headgear on his head. With an everlasting charming smile he jumped out of his chariot and landed on the airstrip. Carrier shook again as he landed. He looked across and fixed his gaze on the Asgardian.

"Hercules?" Thor could not believe his eyes.

"Thor, my old friend, it's so good to see you again!" He bellowed and walked towards Thor, ignoring all the agents around him. He reached the wary looking Avengers and pulled the Thunder god into bone-crushing hug.

"Hercules! It's good to see you too, after such a long time." Thor hugged him back with equal force.

Hercules held Thor at arm's length, "yes, indeed. It has been... what three millennia?"

"Wait, did you just say, Hercules?" Tony couldn't believe his ears. "The Greek hero Hercules?" Thor nodded. Tony was bewildered, it was completely unexpected for him, first Thor, then Chitauri and now this. The world he knew was getting more and more weird.

"What're you doing here, my friend? I thought you left the Midgard, after... You know!"

"No, I did not. I'm here on business. I felt the presence of Poseidon in this area. I think he's not gone, but was dormant somewhere." He looked concerned.

"So, that's what father meant by the godly power of the sea. Now I understand, why that boy felt so powerful and familiar."

"Thor, what do you mean by that? Surely you're not referring to the kid, are you?" Captain looked wary.
