Portland

Eliot Spencer walked out his apartment building. The air was chilly that morning and his leather jacket did little to shield him from the cold. He zipped up his jacket and began walking down street, hands in his pockets. He wanted to buy some groceries from his favourite shop before going to the brew pub. Nate and Sophie didn't have the client meeting until that afternoon, but Hardison had called him telling him he needed help in the pub's kitchen. He turned around the corner and bumped into someone.

"Sorry, man" he quickly apologized to the massive man standing before him. He was tall and well-built with no hair and a not so friendly air. Eliot tried to walk pass him, but the stranger shoved him across. "Hey man, I said I was sorry" He really didn't want to start a fight, especially not with this guy.

"Where is it?" suddenly the stranger talked to him.

Eliot could sense trouble; this meeting wasn't casual. "I don't know what you're talking about." He tried to assess the situation and how to get out of it preferably in one piece.

"Tell me where it is!" the voice from the stranger got stronger and huskier. Eliot noticed that he also got taller and stronger. What was happening?

Clothes started ripping from the body and Eliot found himself in front of a three meters giant.

"What the hell!"

Eliot knew when it was time to fight or to flee… and this was a time to escape. He ran across the street zigzagging between the passing cars hoping that his speed would be an advantage against the giant. What he didn't expect was the flaming ball that hit the street not far from his right side. A car flew above his head and another one lost control and hit the lamp post. This giant was creating more damage and it was a danger for the people passing by, he had to fight him. Eliot took cover behind a truck parked along the street and waited for the giant to slowly walked pass him. It was looking around him trying to find the hitter. Eliot found an axe inside the behind of the truck, he picked it up and walked behind the giant.

"Hey you!" he shouted attracting his attention.

The giant turned around and roared. Eliot threw the axe with the all the strength he had and hit him right between the eyes.

The monster fell on the pavement with a loud bang.

Nate groaned at the sound of his alarm clock going off. He slumped the hand on top of it turned it off. He then heard a moan coming from behind him. He turned around and smiled at Sophie who had hidden her head under her pillow.

"Good morning" he told her tickling her side.

Sophie squirmed away and peaked from the underneath the pillow. "I don't feel so good." Suddenly she jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.

Nate covered his face with his hands as he heard being sick by the toilet. He got up from the bed and followed her to the bathroom. Sophie was leaning against the bathroom looking awful.

"Better" he asked from the doorframe.

"No," she felt sick again.

Nate rolled his eyes, but went to grab a piece of cloth and after he wet it he putting behind her neck. "I told you not to eat that sushi last night"

Sophie groaned "Nate, I'm not in the mood for I told you so…." She send him a deadly glare.

"Sorry" He lifted his hands in surrender. "How about I'll prepare you some tea?" That was his way to apologize.

She gave him a small smile "Thanks"

After Nate left, Sophie slowly got up and looked herself in the mirror. She looked like she felt: horrible. She washed her face with cold water and brushed her hair to look more presentable. She reached Nate in the kitchen. He already had the tea ready and put it in front of her with a couple of plain biscuits.

She didn't really feel like eating but Nate insisted.

Nate received a text of his phone and went to look at. "It's Hardison. He says there's an emergency"

Sophie groaned frustrated putting hand on her forehead. "I thought we weren't supposed to go in until this afternoon!"

He shrugged. "Emergency"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Hardison knew immediately that something was wrong at the brewery. As soon as they opened early in the morning, they usually didn't have any clients. He was surprised when he walked down that morning to find his staff already serving coffee to three strange old women. They had a taxi driver jacket on, but they looked nothing like taxi drivers. He quickly sent a text to the rest of the team telling them to get there as soon as possible because of an emergency. Nate might have passed on to him his spider sense or whatever it is and in that moment it was in full get-out-of-here-soon mode.

He walked over to Amy who was he usually the first one to get to the brewery. "How long have they being here?" he asked her in a lower voice.

"Who? The three ladies? Since I've opened." She frowned. "Why?" Wondering what her boss could see wrong in the three innocent old ladies.

"Nothing" he shook his head.

Amy walked back in the kitchens, leaving Hardison alone with them.

"Where is she?" one of the ladies suddenly appeared next to him.

"Where's who?" he tried not to look frightened but it wasn't working very well.

The other two joined their sister and Hardison noticed that they didn't have eyes. "Who are you people?"

"Tell us where she is!" they demanded.

His eyes were frantically searching for a way out. "I don't know what you're talking about"

"Don't lie! You…" She was interrupted mid-sentence as she started shaking. The other ladies turned around shocked and then they started shaking too.

"Parker!" Hardison shouted when he saw the thief standing behind them holding a taser.

The blonde thief just shrugged. "What? You said it was an emergency"

Soon the three bodies of the old ladies disappeared into a thick white smoke.

"What's going on here?" Hardison was having trouble understanding the events of that morning.

The door of the brewery opened and both Nate and Sophie walked in.

"So, what's the emergency?" Nate looked around trying to find the cause of trouble.

"I've already taken care of it" Parker smirked waving her taser.

"Three strange looking old ladies came here demanding for someone. They looked alike and had no eyes and they were creepy, man! So creepy! Then Parker tased them and they disappeared in some kind of smoke…"

Sophie raised her eyebrow incredibly "Hardison, you should stop watching horror movies before going to bed. The last thing I wanted this morning was so be dragged here for nothing."

"It's true!" He exclaimed wanting them to believe him.

Eliot came rushing in the brewery. "You won't believe what I just had to fight coming here!"

"Three no eyes old ladies?" Nate asked amused.

Eliot looked at him strangely and shook his head. "No, a giant!" He replied seriously.

"Of course!" Nate smirked. "Look guys, if this is a joke…"

"It's not a joke, Nathan" a woman voice interrupted him.

Nate turned his head towards the woman who had just spoken. Before him stood a beautiful woman dressed in an elegant long white dress. She had long dark hair and intense grey eyes, but they were friendly and kind.

"Why do you look familiar?" Nate whispered to her.

"Because we've already met, son" she smiled at him.

Then the memories of that afternoon that happened when he was young flooded his mind. Yes, she was his mother. "I…" he gasped.

"We haven't got enough time. They are already coming for her"

Eliot was having trouble understanding what was happening and he was slightly losing his patient. "For whom?" he grunted.

"For the baby" another voice came from behind the counter.

The tall, graceful and very beautiful poured herself a glass of wine that she had found with all the drinks. She sniffed and took a small sip frowning in disgust at the taste. "Cheap wine"

"Aphrodite," Athena scolded her. "This is not the time for drinking" and Aphrodite rolled her eyes annoyed. It was amazing how in her aspect and personality she looked like Sophie.

"Who are you people?" Hardison had enough of these mysterious women appearing in his brewery.

"Oh right," The dark haired and dark eyed woman waved her hand. "You still don't remember." With a flick of her hand all the team members started remembering their previous encounter with their Gods parents.

Hardison frowned with a headache. "I remember everything now, but I still can't believe it"

"You need to leave town, now" Athena urged them. "They will send more monsters after you"

"Who do they want? Why now?" Nate asked. She might be his mother, but he wasn't going to leave town without an explanation.

"They want the baby"

"What baby?" Nate frowned in confusion.

Both Athena and Hera looked at Sophie who finally realized what they were talking about. She put a hand on her abdomen gasping. "Nate,"

He looked at his girlfriend still confused.

"I don't think it was the sushi this morning" she finally said and Nate's eyes grew bigger when he understood what she was referring too.

"Wait? What? Sophie is pregnant?" Eliot exclaimed shocked.

"Cool!" Parker smiled

"Aren't you happy Athena?" Aphrodite smirked at the other Goddess. "We're going to be grandparents together." Her smile might have been genuine but her voice was clearly sarcastic.

"Why are they after our baby? And who is they?" Sophie asked firmly already feeling very protective of her child.

"There will be a time for explanations once you've reached your destinations" Athena assured her.

"Where is that?"

"Camp Half-Blood"

A/N What did you think? Will the team reach Camp Half-Blood without trouble? Thanks for reading and please review. It's my first Percy Jackson fic (even if it's a crossover) and it's been a long time since I've read the first books, (waiting to put my hands on the Mark of Athena) so all the informations are either from what I remember of from research.
