6 | A Small Dispute

6| a s m a l l d i s p u t e

PERCY STOOD IN A LAB THAT RIVALED the Hephaestus and Athena cabin. Different nick nacks on beautiful glass counters. In the lab was Bruce, scanning the Tesseract and Tony, who was swiping the holographic screens solving equations that Percy couldn't even begin to understand.

"The gamma readings are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports on the Tesseract. But it's gonna take weeks to process." Bruce said, his earlier look of confusion nowhere to be found, instead with a worried look. "If we bypass their mainframe and direct a reroute to the Homer cluster, we can clock this around six hundred teraflops." Tony replied looking at Bruce moving away from the screens. Percy was uncomfortable standing near the two geniuses, he felt conscious about his intelligence something he had always struggled with.

"All I packed was a toothbrush." Bruce sighed, tiredly. Tony grinned softly at him, "You know, you should come by STARK TOWERS sometime. Top ten floors, all R&D. You'd love it, it's candy land." He said, waving his hands. Bruce's face twitched, "Thanks, but the last time I was in New York I kind of broke...Harlem." His tone hesitant. "Well, I promise a stress free environment. No tension. No surprises." Tony said still smiling. Suddenly he poked Bruce with a miniature electrical... something, Percy didn't exactly know what it was.

At that exact moment, guess who walks in? That's right, it's none other than Steve Rogers! And he looks pissed. "Ow!" Bruce exclaims, rubbing the spot where he was poked by Tony. "Hey!" Steve called out, his face in a threatening expression. Tony leaned towards Bruce and looked at him closely, "Nothing?" He questioned with a shrug of his shoulders. "Are you nuts?" Steve asked, glaring at him through his piercing blue eyes. Percy was still standing in the corner, although now a bit miffed that Tony would endanger all the people on the ship.

"You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow Jazz? Bongo Drums? Huge bag of weed?" Tony was asking in a rapid speed and a soft smile. Tony's questions were giving Percy a headache, he kept on imagining Bruce, playing the bongo drums with a crazy grin and he has to say it wasn't a pretty site. Speaking of not pretty, he wondered what Mr. D and Chiron had gotten up to in his absence. Nico was probably making out with Will or hanging out in the Underworld. Grover was probably fussing over Jupiner, as she was pregnant. Thalia was hanging with the hunters as usual, Reyna was co-prateoring with a guy named Eric, a child of Apollo. Percy stopped zoning out when Tony said, "I should probably into that once my decryption programmer finishes breaking into all of SHIELD's files."

"Is that why you placed the button thingy under Fury's computer?" Percy called out suddenly recalling what he had seen the billionaire do. The occupants of the room had seem to forgotten his presence and were quite startled when he spoke. Steve smirked at his statement and looked towards who seemed baffled that somebody had noticed. How Percy was the one that noticed and not him was another mysterious question but Steve did dwell on that for too long. Trying to play it cool Tony replied, "Yeah, Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours we'll know every dirty secret SHIELD has ever tried to hide." he holds out the bag of blueberries that was in his hands, "Blueberry?" he quirked his eyebrow .

"Yet you're confused why they did want you around?" Steve said, his eyes narrowed and a little smirk. "An intelligence organization that fears intelligence? Historically, not possible." Tony challenged, ignoring Steve's comment. "I think Loki's trying to wind us. This is a man that means to start a war, and if we don't stay focused, he'll succeed. We have orders, we should follow them." Steve looked around at the three of them. Personally, Percy wasn't one to follow rules which was evident in his life. He didn't understand Steve's reasoning, only because a organisation is helping the world doesn't mean that they can't be corrupt or have secrets.

"Following's not really my style." Tony replied with his usual amount of sass. Steve smiled, "And you're all about style, aren't you?" He said. That line seemed to struck a nerve with Tony cause he immediately retorted, "Of all the people in this room, which one is A. wearing a spangly outfit, and B. not of use?" Before the argument get even more heated up Bruce intervened, "Steve, tell me none of this sounds a bit funky to you?" Steve contemplated it for a second before shaking his and walked out the lab saying, "Just find the cube." Then Tony went on to rant about how that was the guy his word was always on about with Bruce interrupting at times. After that went on to have a touching conversation about both of their conditions. Percy had zoned out, he just wanted to sleep which was exactly what he was going to do. The drama could be saved for tomorrow.
