Percy would be the first person to tell you about how Tartarus changes you. As a person who had survived it twice he knew all about it. The first time it was more of a mental torture as he was with Annabeth and he had to protect her forsaking sleep almost completely his mind was more susceptible to the mental torture. This time it was almost all physical he had been captured around two months ago by none other than his favorite grandfather. He only had a couple of scars to show for it since he dunked me in electrified water after he was done, torturous healing.

It was during his torture did he learn the key to escape. There was a tower in the center of Tartarus at the top of the tower there was a ladder. Of course in the tower there were some of the worst beast in existence, but those that he couldn't kill he avoided. He had no reason to kill them they were only here to protect the tower, besides he only had to get to the ladder not kill everything inside. Not all monsters were bad, kind of a contradicting statement, but true. He had met a friendly hybrid monster a mix between a griffin and a hell hound he was a lot like Black Jack, he had somehow gotten the ability to speak in my head. He didn't make it to the ladder.

The climb was a test of wills Percy was determined to get out the, the ladder was determined to keep on going on till he gave up. Obviously the ladder hadn't met him before he was stronger than ever and if there was a place he hated more than Olympus it was this place. He had been climbing for a day now and he was officially beyond pain, tired simply didn't cut how he felt at this moment. He could see a light now though and he was determined to reach it, he was almost there.

But then he was falling like the world was turned upside down. Falling so fast he felt as if he would was floating, the only reason he knew he was in fact falling was the wind slicing at his skin.

The landing wasn't soft, but it wasn't horrible either. It was an empty clearing, not even trees would grace this place with their presence. It had to be outside of Tartarus because it was cold something Tartarus wasn't, the point from which he had left had closed like it never existed. The son of Poseidon had finally escaped his imprisonment? knelt on the ground once more and dug his fingers into the snow to stop there bleeding he pushed his fingers through the snow to the soil of the earth that he hadn't set foot on for a year.

Snow continued to fall around him- it would soon be classed as a blizzard, one of the worst the area had ever received. He shivered at the cold, fingers and toes already going numb. Not the most enjoyable first day out, especially since he was without a shirt and his pants were pretty torn. But at least he was out, now all he had to do was get some clothes.

Percy flumped back against the thick snow on the ground. It quickly numbed the burning pain radiating from his sore muscles that had started healing slowly in the snow. His wrist felt light without the presence of his watch, his pockets now felt empty without his pen. It was weird the entire time in Tartarus he hadn't really felt it that much but now the full wait of it came down on him. He had a new sword now that he could summon at will it was better than riptide, still he missed it. That sword had got him through some pretty impossible situations. His chest felt as if someone had punched a hole through it. Pain continued to ripple through him and he held back a onslaught of tears.

"Quite a fall you had there, Mr Jackson" someone said loudly over the snow.

Percy opened the eyes he hadn't realized he'd closed. Sitting up slowly he looked at the man who stood calmly in the snow. With gloved hands clasped in front of him and a long black cloak wrapped around his smaller then average form he looked as if he could be enjoying a day in Central Park.

The man continued "I hope you didn't break anything,"

"Who are you?" Percy questioned through his broken state "how do you know my name?"

"I'm Agent Phil Coulson of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division," Agent Coulson said calmly.

"What?" Percy asked blearily.

"We're still working on the name. Let's just say I'm part of an interested party," Agent Coulson said with a small "We've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr Jackson. You have special abilities that have caught our interest."

"What do you want?" Percy stood up quickly, not liking being on the ground in front of a potential enemy. Always the soldier he summoned his sword which appeared on his back. It was truly a beautiful and unique sword made out of Stygian iron and the river Styx it was double sided blade gifted to him from the goddess Styx for saving her during his early months in Tartarus. It fit into his grip like riptide with a slightly heavier weight but still extremely balanced. Nothing was safe from this blade not the gods, not monsters, nobody and I consoled myself in that.

"How do you feel about working for a government agency, Mr. Jackson?"

"How about a shirt, and I might consider it" I said gesturing to my freezing body. He took off his jacket to hand to me. "Ah ah ah I said shirt not jacket." I said grinning happy to have a person to talk to me who wasn't in the process of torturing me, it was nice. "I think you'll do just fine Mr. Jackson" he said as he walked us toward a bright red 1962 corvette. Percy nodded appreciatively, he may have been fighting monsters since he was like twelve doesn't mean a guy cant have a side hobby. He reached into the car and tossed me a dress shirt that was more than a little small for my six foot three well muscled physique. But it was better than nothing. He started the car and I prepared for a long drive until the car started floating in the air.

"How long have I been gone, and what the hell have I gotten myself into?" I muttered to myself. I remembered ho my mom used to tell me to never to get into cars with strangers.

Sorry about the bad grammar I was doing this off my phone, I might go through and reupdate the chapter.
