The day before-

Fury's POV

I paced my office, twiddling my thumbs. I admit it. I was bored out of my mind. We had had no attacks, no suspects, no targets- basically nothing interesting. That changed when Agent Hill walked in. "Director Fury" she called. "Yes, Agent Hill?" I sighed. "We've found a file that we think you might want to look at". I took the file from her hands and opened it. She left the room without another word. I opened the file. 

Name: Perseus Achilles Jackson

Age: 22

Height: 6 '2

Hair: black

Eyes: green

Family: Sally Jackson (mother), Gabe Ugliano (stepfather, missing presumed dead), Paul Blofis (stepfather) REAL FATHER PRESUMED LOST AT SEA, IDENTITY UNKNOWN

Background: Expelled from four schools (after blowing them up), made class fall in shark tank, blew up a bus, kidnapped mother and two teenagers at age twelve later cleared as one of the hostages, blew up the St. Louis Arch, seen near Mt. St. Helens explosion, disappeared for nine months, goes to mysterious non-existent summer camp every summer, spotted all over the globe, wanted for numerous acts of terrorism world wide. 

Damn this kid was something. He wasn't a minor anymore, so we could detain him without trouble. But terrorism? Expelled from four schools after blowing them up? Heck. 

"Agent Hill" I spoke into the intercom. "Yes?" she replied. "Assemble the Avengers". 

The next day, a bit before Percy dropped off his girls at Piper's, in Avenger's Tower-

Stark's POV

"You want us to do WHAT?" I asked Fury. "I want you to detain a possible threat" Fury said calmly. "HE'S A KID!" Steve yelled. "He's dangerous" came Fury's answer. "Sounds like an assassin, or HYDRA maybe" Natasha said, arms crossed. I didn't even notice she was there. Typical Nat. 

"Can we look at his file first?" Clint asked. Fury handed Clint the file and we crowded around it.

 I was horrified at what this kid could do. "He's 22" Fury said. "He's no longer a minor". "But- oh god. Terrorism?" Capsicle asked with widened eyes. Then, Thor flew in from the window. "Hello midgardians!" he boomed. We waved. "What are we doing now?". Fury handed him the file. After reading the name, Thor gave Fury the file back. "I will not help you capture the great Perseus Jackson" he said solemnly. "What do you mean? What's great about terrorism?" Clint asked suspiciously. "Terrorism? Goodness no. His legends are told in Asgard! His many feats not even I could tell you about" Thor said.

And with that, Point Break zoomed out the window. "Well, that's one less to work with" Natasha grumbled. "Avengers, suit up" Steve said. So we did. And that's how we set off to capture a young adult. 

In Manhattan, walking (stalking) after Percy-

Still Stark's POV

I had my suit bracelet thing on hand (sorry I forgot what it's called) as I casually pretended to take a 'walk' in Manhattan. I had my EDITH glasses on just incase, scanning for any sign of Perseus Jackson. I looked across the street, and spotted him. He was rolling a stroller, had a black haired and green eyed baby girl in his arms, and had something clenched in his fist. To make sure it wasn't a weapon, I told EDITH to scan. "Amplify" I whispered. I had it sent to my computer, and I kept watching him. I noticed that he had a broken look in his eyes. Wonder what that was about. 

He disappeared into a house and came back with the stroller, but not the baby. I wondered if the people in the house were babysitting for him. We followed him all the way to a cemetery, where a boy stepped out of the shadows, in an aviator's jacket and skull shirt. They talked about something, and then disappeared around the corner for a few minutes, and Perseus came back crying with a wreath of white flowers in his arms. He placed it on a grave and started sobbing his heart out and we figured then was a good time to strike. I pressed the button on my bracelet and my suit formed around me. "Perseus Jackson, you're under arrest" I said, holding my blaster at him.
