"Nice to meet you. And the rest of you?" I asked, turning towards the group.

"Caitlin Snow."

"Cisco Ramon."

"Julian Albert." The guy looked familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"HW."

"Oliver Queen."

"Nice to meet you all. Now, you." I said, pointing at Cisco, who was at the computer. "How do I bring it back?"

"Well, we're still trying, but it's not working. That's the second we saw it, along with the first time we saw it." He said, typing away.

"I need green tea," I said before walking out of the room, in the direction of the mini-fridge I saw out of the corner of my eye earlier. I made it to the fridge. I opened it, took out a green tea, and chugged it. I threw away and grabbed another. It was about to touch my lips when I got rudely interrupted.

"Excuse me? Who do you think you are, just waltzing right in here and eating all the food?" Julian asked. I turned around and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Had a hard day," I said and plopped down on a nearby chair.

"'Had a hard day?' Why? What happened? Your mommy wouldn't let you hang with your friends? That-"

"My mom is dead," I said, standing up. The whole room went silent, tension filling the air.

"Oh. I'm sorry-"

"Don't pity me." I spat. I suddenly had an idea. I whipped out my phone and dialed Jason.

"What are you-" Caitlin started to ask but was interrupted.

Phone call

~*~

J: Hello?

P: Jason! Thank god you're alive!

J: Percy? Are you okay?

P: Yes. I'm fine. Now, what happened?

J: After Nico and I got pulled by Tartarus, he brought us back to where we were moments before. But he disappeared along with the portal when I turned around. I told everyone what happened, and we all came to the conclusion that Tartarus possessed Rachel and gave us a fake prophecy so he could lure you in and trap you... wherever you are.

P: ...

J: ...

P: Well, I'm okay.

J: Well, just in case, we all love you and-

"Jason? Jason!" I yelled as the phone cut off. I threw the chair across the room in anger.

"Dude, you gotta stop damaging our stuff," HW said. I ignored him and turned to Caitlin.

"I need that portal. now." She was going to respond but was cut off by an alarm. Cisco ran to a computer.

"Robbery on 47th avenue, 14 hostages, 7 men armed with guns." He said. Crime? That's what I needed to clear out my mind right now. I snatched a headpiece from a table and vapor traveled to 47th avenue. Once I got there, I quickly shoved my earpiece into my ear. I heard things being yelled like "Where did she go?!' and 'Oh my god she can teleport.'

"Guys I'm right here. Now, give me a scan of the building and tell me where the hostages are." I said.

"I, Uh, Two men with guns at the entrance, three of them surrounding the hostages in vault 23."

"On it," I ran to the corner of the building and slowly crept my way towards the entrance. I rounded the corner and knocked out the two guys. I slowly opened the doors and slipped inside. One of the guys was walking down the hallway next to me, so I grabbed his gun and knocked him out with it. His body landed with a 'Thump' which caused attention from the other four men.

I didn't notice until one of them attacked me. He put me in a headlock and I knew this was it. I waited for the bullet to pierce my skull, but it never happened. Instead, the pressure was released from my neck and I heard another 'Thump' from behind me. I turned around and saw the silhouette of a woman. Then, she stepped into the moonlight.

She had on Black leggings with silver accents mid-thigh, a sort of loose jacket thing with a hood which was also black, and boots of her own design (basically UGGs but more spikey).

"Who are you?" I asked her. She looked both ways before saying something.

"Your welcome." She said, her voice laced with a thick British accent. I was taken aback by how strong her accent was.

"Uh-"

"I'm just playing, The names Doublecross." She said."Let's go kick some butt." And she started walking towards the vaults but stopped. "Sorry, that was really cringy." We both chuckled and kept walking. We reached vault 23 and I knocked out one of the guys with guns. I looked at Doublecross, who was totally kicking their asses and was skillfully throwing knives at the men. I watched her in awe as she knocked out the last guy.

"You're really good." I complimented. She turned to me.

"Not so bad yourself." We both freed the hostages and we parted ways.

"Wait!' I called to her. She turned around. "Do you mind if I get your number?" She nodded and passed me her phone while I gave her mine. I put my number in and she did the same. We switched phones when we were done. I turned around and started walking. I turned back around to say goodbye, but she was gone. Odd.

"Percy, The portal is back, and there someone named..... Thor? Yeah, Thor. He's here for you." CIsco said in my ear.

I have never teleported so fast in my life.
