PROLOGUE
DATE: OCTOBER 23 1999
LOCATION: St Helens hospital. Brooklyn New York
TIME: 10:45 AM
A woman lay on the hospital bed, from her breathing pattern one could deduce that she was exhausted, two nurses were by her side, the one injecting a new batch of drugs into the drip connected to her arm and the other on her right side checking on the baby in a small cot.
The woman's name was Sally Jackson, and she had just given birth to a bouncing baby boy, she was exhausted from the birth of the child, but a smile was visible on her face as she looked at the sleeping face of her baby boy. The Doctors told her that the child looked healthy, but they still needed to run some tests on the baby to check for any passive diseases. The nurses attending to her soon left leaving her alone with her baby, the child's eyes fluttered open revealing a pair of sea green orbs causing Sally to smile widely, "he has his father's eyes, I'll call him Perseus, Percy for short." she thought to herself wistfully. Sally suddenly frowned, her instincts were screaming at her that something was out of place, but she couldn't put a finger on it, suddenly the Doctor's words rang in her ear, "Relax miss Jackson you need the rest, your child appears healthy but we need to run some tests before we can say for sure…" more tests, More Tests, MORE TESTS!, a small voice kept repeating the same words in her head over and over again getting louder by the second, her eyes widened in alarm as she recalled the warning her lover gave her concerning what to do after the child's birth. He had told her to simply call some Doctors over and deliver the child at home, there was only so much the mist could hide "How could I have been so careless?" she cursed her self for her carelessness. She attempted to get up, grab her baby and leave, but she was still too weak, so she slumped back on the bed in exhaustion, the door opened and a Doctor walked in, he made a beeline for the child and picked him up before leaving without a word, no doubt for these "tests". She closed her eyes and prayed to every deity that resided on the immortal city above the Empire State building that the mist would prevent the mortals from finding something strange in the child's system.
LINEBREAK
Doctor Hendricks looked at the test results of the baby that was delivered in the hospital in the evening with a mixture of surprise, awe and a hint of triumph, the child's blood type was unknown, it's organs showed similar properties to that of marine life, and it's skin was slightly denser than that of normal babies which acted as a form of fire proof agent for the child. He licked his dry lips, he didn't want to get his hopes high ….but this was outstanding, in all his years as a medical practitioner he had never seen anything like this. He looked at the telephone on the wall, this was just too good of an opportunity to pass by. He wiped his sweaty hands on his lab coat before gingerly picking up the phone and dialing the number which had for so long, but hadn't bothered calling considering his lack of luck in finding a "suitable candidate".
RING
RING
The phone rang twice, before it was picked up "Hello" came the gruff voice of a man on the other line, Dr Hendricks swallowed before speaking "Good Evening General Dickson, I have discovered something that migh… no, that will interest you…"
AN: OH GOD I am feeling so sleepy, but still I am excited to see where I go with this story….. okay, okay sorry for abandoning THE SON OF LIGHT, but lets be real people, that story wasn't going anywhere.
PS: This is an AU story, so please if any New Yorkers are reading this don't flame me that there is no St Helens hospital in Brooklyn.
