Third Person POV (Always will be Third Person with watching movies)
Percy and his friends were arguing over what movie to watch. Percy, Leo, Jason, and Nico wanted to watch The Avengers. Annabeth, Piper, Reyna, and Thalia wanted to watch Divergent. Frank and Hazel said that they did not mind as long as they decided soon. A week ago, Percy and his friends watched the movie Troy and the characters were based on them. Apollo sent Percy a copy of The Avengers based on the same concept. Annabeth wanted to watch Divergent because it was suppose to be a good movie.
So there they were, arguing and it was becoming very dangerous. Piper and Reyna had their hands on their daggers, while Annabeth wielded her Drakon Bone sword. Thalia was holding her spear in hand. Percy held Riptide, Jason was holding his gladius, Leo was holding a sledgehammer, and Nico held his Stygian iron sword. They obviously did not want to fight, but it was hard to convince the girls otherwise. The boys really did not want to watch that movie.
"Annabeth, how about we watch that movie next week?" Percy pleaded.
"How about we watch your movie next week?" she retorted.
"But this one is awesome!" Leo countered. "Fights, explosions and more fights!"
Annabeth huffed. She stayed silent for a count of ten. The entire time she looked at Percy who was giving her his best 'cute baby seal eyes'.
"Fine," she snapped. She and the other girls went to sit on the couch while Percy went and put the DVD in the player. Percy was about to sit with Annabeth when she told him to take the couch next to her. There was no room as all four girls sat on the couch. Percy started to protest, but Annabeth quickly put a stop to it. Reluctantly, Percy sat on the couch. He was still close enough to kiss her, but he could not wrap his arm around her.
Percy hit the play button and the movie had begun. Leo was jumping up and down in his seat.
The Marvel logo flashed across the screen. It then evaporated into the background which consisted of a glowing cube. The cube glowed a bright blue. The Paramount logo came up and- similarly to the Marvel logo- disappeared within the cube. The camera zooms out and a metallic voice speaks, "The Tesseract, has awakened. It is on a little world. A human world. They would wield its power,..." The scene shows a figure kneeling. It continues to speak, "But our ally knows its workings as they never will. She is ready to lead. And our force, our Chitauri, will follow." They show a figure being handed a scepter while the other aliens cheer. "The world will be hers. the universe will be yours. And the humans, what can they do but burn?"
"Well, that is a happy thought," Thalia says.
"For Nico, that would be downright cheerful," Reyna joked.
"Shut up!" Nico yelled at the two girls.
A helicopter is flying across the valley. The night time sky is being lit up by a light over the hill. A military base is below. The helicopter continues to fly while a man speaks on an intercom, "All personnel evacuation has been confirmed. Proceed to you designated vehicles. This is not a drill."
The helicopter lands and a woman is waiting for the people to exit. Two women exit the helicopter. One is holding a briefcase, wearing an eye patch. "How bad is it?" the one in the eye patch asks.
"That's the problem, ma'am. We don't know," the one waiting outside the helicopter explains.
"That's us!" Annabeth, Reyna, and Hazel exclaimed.
"Annabeth is Fury? I can see that," Percy said rubbing his chin.
"And Reyna and Hazel work as agents," Leo added, also rubbing his chin.
The groups takes an elevator down to a low level. Hazel is explaining things to Annabeth and Reyna. "Dr. di Angelo read an energy surge from the Tesseract an hour ago."
"Nico is the doctor!?" Jason, Percy, and Leo exclaimed/ questioned.
"I guess, but why?" Nico asked.
"Beats me," Annabeth said, "you're almost as dumb as Seaweed Brain."
Percy fake gasped, "I am not dumb!"
Annabeth kissed him, "Yes, you are."
"NASA didn't authorize di Angelo to test phase," Annabeth calmly states.
"He wasn't testing it, he wasn't even in the room. Spontaneous advancement," Hazel explains.
"It just turned itself on?" Reyna asked.
"What are the energy levels at, now?" Annabeth asked.
"Climbing. When di Angelo couldn't shut it down we ordered an evac."
"How long to get everyone out?" Annabeth asked.
"Campus should be clear in the next half hour."
"Do better."
"Annabeth is the pushy one in this," Leo joked.
He was hit on the head, and looked at Annabeth, but she just shrugged.
"Wasn't me," she smiled.
'Then wha-" Leo started, but was doused with water. "Percy? Really?"
"Don't insult my girlfriend," Percy calmly said.
"Fine," Leo mumbled while Jason and Frank stifled laughs.
Hazel turned to leave and Annabeth and Reyna continued down a spiral staircase. Reyna was speaking to Annabeth, "Ma'am, evacuation may be futile."
"We should tell them to go back to sleep?" Annabeth asked.
"If we can't control the Tesseract there may not be a minimum safe distance," Reyna continued.
"Reyna is seriously acting pessimistic," Nico joked.
"Watch it, Dr. di Angelo," Reyna taunted.
Annabeth spoke over her shoulder as the two moved towards the area where they are needed, "I need you to make sure that PHASE 2 prototypes are shipped out."
"Ma'am, is that really a priority right now?"
"Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on. Clear out the tech below. Every piece of PHASE 2 on a truck and gone."
"Yes, ma'am," she turned to the agents, "With me."
Annabeth enters a large room and shouts at a man, "Talk to me doctor," she demands.
Leo opened his mouth, but closed it. His clothes were wet and he could dry them off with his fire as that might hurt his friends and burn the house.
"Director," he says walking over to Annabeth.
"Is there anything we know for certain?" she asks.
"Tesseract is misbehaving."
"Is that supposed to be funny?"
"No, its not funny at all. The Tesseract is not only active, she's... misbehaving."
"How soon until you pull the plug?"
"She's an energy source. If we turn off the power, she turns it back on. If she reaches peak level..."
"We've prepared for this, doctor. Harnessing energy from space."
"How does one prepare to harness energy from space?" Jason asked.
"Beats me," Percy shrugged.
"Nico is pretty smart in this," Annabeth noted.
"Even though he probably doesn't know what Movie him is saying," Thalia joked.
"I know what Movie Me is saying! I just don't understand..." Nico defended.
They all laughed.
"We don't have the harness. Our calculations are far from complete. Now she's throwing off interference, radiation. Nothing harmful, low levels of gamma radiation."
"Oh, you know, gamma radiation is so safe," Percy snickered.
"The Hulk turned out great because of it," Leo added.
"That can be harmful. Where's Grace?" Annabeth asked.
"The Hawk? Up in her nest, as usual," Dr. di Angelo said pointing to an area behind him.
"Which Grace is he talking about?" Jason asked.
"Probably Thalia, considering Hawk Eye is good with the bow," Percy answered.
Thalia was watching the scene carefully when Annabeth's voice came on, "Agent Grace, report."
"Told you it was Thalia," Percy smirked.
"Cool, I'm still gonna kick butt with my bow," Thalia nodded in approval.
She slides down a rope and starts walking around the facility with Annabeth. Annabeth speaks first, "I gave you this detail so you could keep a close eye on things."
"Well," Thalia started, "I see better from a distance."
"Are you seeing anything that might set this thing off?"
Before he could respond a scientist speaks to the Doctor. "Doctor, it's spiking again."
Thalia and Annabeth walk over to the Tesseract while Thalia explains what she has seen, "No one's come or gone. Its oven is clean. No contacts, no I.M.'s. If there was any tampering, ma'am, it wasn't at this end."
"At this end?" Piper asked.
"I don't know," Annabeth grudgingly said.
"D-did I just hear y-you say that!?" Percy yelled.
"Yes, I don't know something. Happy?" Annabeth sighed.
Percy leaned over and kissed her, "Very."
"At this end?" Annabeth asked.
"Yeah, the cube is a doorway from space, right? The doors open from both sides," Thalia explained.
Dr. di Angelo is typing away on a keyboard to keep the Tesseract under control. Suddenly, the Tesseract sparks; shaking the whole facility and causing panic. The people in the room watch it continue to spark until it creates a black hole a little ways away. The black hole disappears along with the beam that created it. The force of its disappearance is so strong that it shakes the entire room. A figure is standing on the platform and its body is steaming. Men approach it with guns raised. The figure slowly rises and stares at the people in the room. They all stare back.
"That looks like... Gaea," Leo mumbled almost to himself.
"This isn't good," Reyna whispered to Piper.
"Ma'am, please put down the spear," Annabeth commanded.
The figure looked at its spear. It then pointed it at Annabeth and Thalia and fired. Thalia pushed Annabeth out of the way. The woman jumped at the other men armed with guns. The men fired, but the bullets seemed to have no effect. She continued to fire the spear's energy at people. When the fighting stops, the lab is destroyed. Sparks and smoke are emerging out of the destroyed machines.
Thalia stands and is about to throw a weapon, but the woman grabs her arm. She looks at him and speaks, "You have heart." Annabeth starts to stand and looks at Thalia and the woman. The woman places the edge of her spear against Thalia's chest and a blue energy emerges. Thalia's eyes go black. When the normal color returns, it is a blue the color of the Tesseract. The woman smiles at her. Annabeth watches in disbelief as one of the best agents is beaten.
"What the Hades just happened?" Thalia demanded.
"I think you were possessed," Jason answered. He, Leo, and Percy shuddered, remembering the eidolons possessing their bodies.
Annabeth removed the Tesseract from the case and set it in a briefcase. While this occurred, the woman walked over to any survivors and performed the same ritual as the one on Thalia. Annabeth started to leave, but was stopped by the woman speaking. "Please don't," she said, calmly. She turned to her, "I still need that."
"This doesn't have to get any messier," Annabeth said, turning.
"Of course it does, I've come too far for anything else. I am Gaea and I am burdened with glorious purpose," Gaea said.
"Oh great," Leo grumbled, "We fight Gaea again."
"Leo, this never happens," Piper said.
"Still..."
"Gaea? As in Mother Earth?" Dr. di Angelo asked.
"We have no quarrel with your people," Annabeth said.
"An ant has no quarrel with a boot," Gaea stated.
"Who said anything about ants?" Percy asked.
"it's a comparison," Annabeth sighed.
Thalia whispered in her ear, "There is no helping him."
"Are you planning to step on us?" Annabeth asked.
"I come with glad tidings, of a world made free," Gaea continued.
"Free from what?" Annabeth asked again.
"That is just like Annabeth to keep the enemy talking," Percy said.
"Classic Annie," Thalia added.
"Don't call me 'Annie'," Annabeth grumbled. They laughed while she blushed.
"Freedom. Freedom is life's great lie. One you accept that, in your heart..." Gaea turned with er staff and placed it on Dr. di Angelo's chest. His eyes did the same thing as when Thalia was touched. "You will know peace," she finished.
"Yeah, you say peace. I kind of think you mean the other thing."
"He probably does," Jason stated.
"No duh!" All the girls yelled.
"Ma'am, Director Chase is staling. This place is about to blow. Drop a hundred feet of rock on us. She means to bury us," Thalia said walking over to Gaea.
"Thalia! Why are you helping the enemy?" Nico joked.
"How about the fact that I'M BEING POSSESSED!" Thalia shot back.
Nico seemed to shrink a couple of inches into the couch."Sorry..."
"Like the Pharaohs of Olympus," Annabeth calmly said.
"She's right. The portal is collapsing on itself. You got maybe two minutes before this goes critical," Dr. di Angelo explained.
"What was that about helping the enemy, Nico?" Reyna taunted.
"I'm in the same boat as Thalia!" he protested, earning a laugh from the group.
"Well then..." Gaea said. Thalia pulled out a gun and shot Annabeth. She yelped in pain and fell back. Thalia grabbed the briefcase that held the Tesseract as the group exited the lab.
"Thalia," Percy said in a calm voice.
"Percy, calm down it's a movie!" Annabeth said trying to calm him. She kissed him, but he was still trembling with anger.
"Haven't seen him like that in a while," Thalia whispered to Reyna.
"Me either," she whispered back.
The group walks into a parking area. Reyna is watching with confusion, and Thalia speaks to her, "We need these vehicles," she says pointing at the cars.
"Whose that?" Reyna asks.
"She didn't tell me," Thalia replies. Gaea is sitting in the back, looking at the scepter. Reyna turns to leave, but Annabeth's voice comes on over her Bluetooth.
"Reyna, do you copy?" Annabeth is talking into a walkie-talkie, pulling out the bullet.
"Your lucky she didn't die, Thalia," Percy grumbled.
"Percy, it's a movie. I'm right here!" Annabeth said, hugging him.
"Grace is..." Thalia turned and fired at Reyna, who rolled behind a wall. Thalia got in the car and quickly drove off, while Reyna tried to shoot with no avail. Annabeth is walking, holding her side, as the portal is collapsing. "They got the Tesseract. Track it down!"
Reyna jumps into a car and speeds her way to catch the group. The portal continues to cause mayhem throughout the building. Reyna shoots through her windshield and Thalia returns fire. Hazel jumps into a S.H.E.I.L.D van and speaks to Annabeth through her walkie-talkie, "Your clear, ma'am! You need to go!"
Annabeth races out of the building and into the helicopter that she arrived in earlier. Thalia is able to escape from Reyna as the Tesseract's energy causes a massive blue energy wave to absorb the building. The building collapses on itself. Reyna is trying to escape the tunnel, along with Gaea and Thalia. Annabeth's helicopter follows the group, but Gaea blasts the copter out of the sky. Annabeth jumps before she could explode.
Hazel comes on over the walkie, "Director? Director Chase, do you copy?"
"The Tesseract is with the hostile force. I have men down, Reyna?" Annabeth responded.
Reyna climbs out of her jeep and speaks, "A lot of men still under, don't know how many survivors."
"Sound the general call. I want every living soul not working on rescue looking for that briefcase," Annabeth ordered.
"Roger that," Reyna responded.
"Hazel, get back to base. This is a LEVEL SEVEN... As of right now, we are at war."
"That is not a good thing," Piper noted.
"Yeah, fighting Gaea was not fun at all," Frank said.
"It was fun to see Octavian burn," Leo commented, smirking at the thought.
"That also killed you, remember?" Jason reminded him.
"Oh yeah..." Leo mumbled.
"What do we do?" Hazel asks.
Annabeth ponders the answers.
The Avengers logo pops up on the screen in bold text.
A train goes by an abandoned warehouse. The camera moves inside the warehouse to the top floor to see men standing over a woman. The woman is tied up and sitting in a chair. One of the men walked forward and punched the girl. She grunted, but looked unfazed.
The main man speaks in Russian, but subtitles show up. They read: "This is not how I wanted this evening to go."
The woman speaks in Russian as well and responds with: "I know how you wanted this evening to go. Believe me this is better."
"The subtitles don't help the dyslexic that much!" Percy said.
"Percy," Annabeth and the other girls groaned.
"You are talking to the movie again!" Reyna scolded.
"Sorry, just a habit," Percy defended.
The man speaks again, "Who are you working for? Lermentov, yes?" A thug walks over and tips her over the edge of a large, deep hole. "Does he think, we have to go through him, to move our cargo?"
"I thought General Solohob was in charge of the export business."
"Solohob, a bagman, a front. Your outdated information betrays you." He walks closer. "The famous Piper McLean, and she turns out to be simply another pretty face."
"That's me?" Piper demanded.
"Your the Black Widow!" Leo exclaimed.
"That guy is about to get seriously hurt," Jason said.
Percy and Frank stared at him.
"He just called Piper 'simply another pretty face'," Jason explained.
"Oh," Percy said, "Yeah, he's dead."
"You really think I'm pretty?" Piper asks.
He motions to the other thugs. "Tell Lermentov we don't need him to move the tanks. Tell him he is out. Well..." Suddenly speaking in English, "You may have to write it down."
Piper grunts as a phone goes off. A thug takes it out of his pocket and answers, "Ya?" he looks at the leader, "It's for her."
He takes the phone and speaks, "You listen carefully,"
Hazel's voice is heard, "You're at 114 Solenski Plaza, 3rd floor. We have an F22 exactly 8 miles out. Put the woman on the phone or I'll blow up the block before you can make the lobby."
"That is a good way to get a person to cooperate," Annabeth noted.
"Maybe we can do something like that? " Leo asked, hopeful.
"How about, no?" Thalia said.
The man walks over to Piper and holds the phone up to her ear as she is tied up.
Hazel continues, "We need you to come in."
"Are you kidding? I'm working!" she responds.
"This takes precedence."
"I'm in the middle of an interrogation, this moron is giving me everything."
The man looks confused, "I don't... give everything," he states looking at his men.
"Look, you can't pull me out of this right now," she continues.
"Piper, Thalia's been compromised," Hazel states.
"Let me put you on hold," she says.
"Piper's gonna whip out some butt kicking moves!" Leo exclaimed.. Piper smacked him on the head.
"Never say that again, Leo," Percy laughed.
The man removes the phone and she kicks his shin. He grunts in pain. Still tied to the chair, she stands and kicks one man while twisting her body and hitting the other with the chair. She rolls and smashed one man's foot with the chair while turning and hitting him again. She kicks the other man. Hazel is just calmly listening to the background.
"Hazel is pretty calm right now," Annabeth noted.
"It must be an everyday occurrence," Reyna said.
Piper used the two men, now lying on the ground, as a spring and jumped and landed on the chair. It broke on impact. She beat up the second man again, then turned to the leader. He was groaning with pain, trying to stand. She grabbed a nearby chain and tied it to his leg, while kicking him into a gap in the floors. He grunted when the chain stopped falling. Piper calmly went an picked up the phone and her shoes. "Where's Thalia now?"
"We don't know," Hazel admitted.
"But she's alive?"
"We think so. I'll brief you on everything when you get back. But first, we need you to talk to the big guy."
"Hazel, you know that Valdez trusts me about as far as he can throw me," Piper argued.
"No, I've got Valdez, you get the big guy."
"Valdez?!" Leo exclaimed.
"And I thought you were the 'big guy', Piper laughed.
"Looks like Hazel thinks you're small, too," Annabeth and Thalia laughed.
Percy was too busy laughing with Jason and Frank to speak.
A little girl is running through a busy street. She is puching her way through. She enters a building and goes to the top floor. A woman speaks to her when she notices the girl. "Who are you?" she says in a language that is Indian. "Get out! There is sickness here!"
"I have to see a doctor! It's my father!" she pleaded. "My father's not waking up! He has a fever and he's moaning, but his eyes wont open."
"That is just too cute!" Piper and Hazel gushed.
"I don't think anyone could resist that," Annabeth admitted.
"Better than Percy's baby seal face?" Reyna asked Annabeth.
She nodded.
"Hey! I pride myself on my baby seal face!" Percy protested.
"Slow down," a man says calmly.
"My father..."
The man crouches down and points to a part of the room, "Like them?"
The little girl has tears in her eyes and is holding money, "Please."
"That is so cute!" the girls gushed.
She is rushing to a house. The man stops her as a car passes by, then they continue to move forward. They enter the house and the girl runs over to a window and hops out. The man looks at the window in disbelief and mumbles to himself, "Should have gotten paid up front, Frank."
"Frank!" they all exclaimed.
"Wait... so I'm the Hulk?" he asked, scratching his head.
Leo laughed, "Makes sense since you can turn into animals."
"But a giant, green rage monster?"
"Can you do that?" Jason asked.
"I don't feel like trying..." Frank said.
"Boys," Thalia whispered to the girls.
"You know," says a voice behind curtains, "For a man who is supposed to be avoiding stress, you sure picked a hell of a place to settle." The voice belonged to Piper as she emerged from behind the curtain.
Frank turns slowly, "Avoiding stress isn't the secret."
"Then what is it? Yoga?"
Frank rubs his hands together and looks at the window. "You brought me to the edge of the city, smart. I uh... assume the whole place is surrounded?"
"Just you and me."
"And your actress buddy, is she a spy too? Do they start that young?"
"I did."
"Who are you?"
"Piper McLean."
"Are you here to kill me, Miss McLean? Because that's not going to work out for everyone."
"Yeah, unleashing the Hulk is very bad," the girls that knew of him said.
"But he is super wicked!" Leo exclaimed.
"Unless he is after you," Jason and Percy told him.
"No. No. Of course not. I'm here on behalf of SHIELD." Piper explained.
"SHIELD? How did they find me?" Frank asked.
"We never lost you, Doctor. We've kept our distance, even helped keep some other interested parties off your scent."
"Why?"
"Annabeth Chase seems to trust you. But now I need you to come in."
"What if I say no?"
"Then I'll persuade you."
"And what if... the other guy says no?"
"Valid point," Annabeth states.
"The other guy always wins," Percy said proudly.
"You've been over a year without an incident. I don't think you want to break that streak," Piper said, deadly calm.
"I don't always get what I want," Frank informed.
"Doctor, we're facing a potential global catastrophe."
"Well, those I actively try to avoid."
"Good idea..." Leo said rubbing his chin.
"Yeah maybe if we avoid a catastrophe, we wont have to fight," Percy said.
"This," Piper said pulling out a phone, "is the Tesseract. It has the potential energy to wipe out the planet." She shoes him a picture of the photo. Frank leans in, putting on glasses to look closer.
"What does Chase want me to do? Swallow it?" Frank asked.
Piper leaned in, crossing her arms, "He wants you to find it. It's been taken. It emits a gamma signature that's too weak for us to trace. There's no one that knows gamma radiation like you do. If there was, that's where I'd be."
"She is really good at persuading," Reyna noted.
"Just like our Piper," Jason said.
"So, Chase isn't after the monster?" Frank asked.
"Not that he's told me," Piper said, still deadly calm.
"And he tells you everything?"
"Talk to Chase, he needs you on this."
"He needs me in a cage?"
"No ones going to put you in a-" she was cut off.
"STOP LYING TO ME!" Frank boomed, slamming his hands on the table.
The demigods flinched at the sudden volume increase. They had to turn up the volume to hear the conversation, but were regretting it.
"Frank, you're really loud," Percy complained.
"I hope the other guy doesn't make an appearance," Piper mumbled.
In the blink of an eye, Piper was standing, pointing a gun at Frank.
"I'm sorry. That was mean. I just wanted to see what you'd do. Why don't we do this the easy way, where you don't use that, and the other guy doesn't make a mess? Okay? Piper..." Frank said, now calm.
Piper looks reluctant, but puts the gun away. She speaks into her Bluetooth, "Stand down. We're good."
"She lied about being alone!" Leo exclaimed.
"Yeah, let's just go meet the Hulk and not bring any backup. That is a great idea," Annabeth said.
"Just you and me?" Frank asks.
