I don't own Percy Jackson or any of its characters
Yancy College of Science and Technology- Experiment Lab #9
Nancy hurriedly sharpened and tested out every tool. She made sure that there were no specs of dust or dirt lying around. She put 10 sheets of notebook paper together and got her trusty blue-ink pen ready.
Percy had called in during his field trip and told her to get everything ready for 'the most important test in science history.' He demanded that the lab be put in 'mad scientist experimentation' mode, a procedure that had only been used on 3 subjects. Usually, that form was only reserved for Grover, as he was the only one that could handle it, but it couldn't be for him. He was still in the hospital due to extreme exhaustion and some unknown injuries. Perhaps…?
Nancy gasped in realization and let out a sinister giggle. Yes, yes, yes, yes! He'd found another one! Percy had found a new subject, one that's just as fascinating or even more fascinating than Grover! Oh, she couldn't wait to get her hands on it!
And she didn't have to.
The door swung open, and Percy walked into the room, pushing a large test tube on wheels. It was filled to the bring with clear fresh water and contained a human-sized bat-like figure inside. It was bald, ugly, and had stitches on it.
"Woah," Nancy said, astonished. "What is that disgusting-looking thing?"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME, YOU INSOLENT MORTAL?!" the thing screeched. It pushed itself towards the glass and glared at Nancy. "I COULD RIP YOU A NEW ONE RIGHT NOW!"
The assistant scientist paid no attention to the threats. "Wow! It talks!" Nancy had stars in her eyes as drool came out of her mouth. What a wonderful new creature!
She looked at Percy excitedly. "You sure know how to pick 'em, boss!"
The mad scientist let out a laugh. "You bet I do!"
"But sir, won't it drown soon?" she asked, a bit concern since she might lose the new test subject already.
"Don't worry, I gave her a personal bubble to breath in with my powers. Now, let's hurry up!" He had a determined look on his face. "Science waits for no man, and no man should wait for science! The time for science is now!"
"Yes, sir!" Nancy cheered.
The two rushed to where all the sharp pointy stuff were and gathered all that they could.
Alecto could only watch in disbelief. "What have I gotten myself into?"
"So, let's start Entry #98," Nancy said as she got her clipboard.
"Hold on," Percy said. "We need to update Entry #77 first."
"Huh?" Nancy quickly flipped through her notes and found the data. "But that's the one on you and your mutant powers. We already tested everything about it."
"Exactly!" Percy exclaimed. "Update the data from 'mutant' to 'demi-god'!" he commanded.
"Demi-god?!" she asked. Her brain quickly understood the information and formed a question. "Does that mean your dad's a God?"
Percy nodded. "If my calculations are correct, I'm guessing that he's either Poseidon or Triton given the amount of control that I have over water."
"You idiot!" Alecto exclaimed. "You're not allowed tell humans about our world!"
Who knows what humans would do if they ever found out about monsters and Gods. All that work of keeping it a secret and using the Mist would be wasted because of this one half-blood! She gave a sigh. "You're just as idiotic as your fish-breathed father."
The duo looked at her. "You know who my dad is?" Percy asked.
"Of course, I do! I can practically smell the ocean coming off you. Sure, it might be covered with other scents, but I can still smell you, son of Poseidon!"
Percy and Nancy looked at each other. The same thought appeared in their heads.
"Test out its nose first?" Nancy suggested as she readied her pen.
"Nose first," Percy confirmed. "Go plug in the electric shocker to the tube, will you? And ready the needles. They need to be extra sharp to penetrate her tough skin."
She nodded. "Yes, sir! But we only have enough power for 5 days in the lab unless Subject #1 comes out of the hospital soon."
"It'll do."
With that being said, she left to go find an outlet.
'Electric… shocker…extra sharp… needle…?!' Alecto thought, a bit fearful. "J-just you wait, Jackson! My master will come looking for me soon! And once he does, you're dead! Dead I tell you!" She let out an evil laugh.
However, the laughs of Percy and Nancy were even more evil, she soon found out.
5 Days Later
Underworld, Hades' Palace
'What is taking Alecto so long?!' a man in a throne full of skulls thought.
It had been 2 weeks since he gave his most trusted Fury the task of retrieving his Helm of Darkness. It had been a week since he gave her the deadline of finishing the task. And it had been 5 days since he last heard from her.
At first, he had assumed that she had been killed. However, after 3 days and still no reforming, he knew something was wrong.
"Minion!" he yelled out.
On que, a shadow teleported to his room and formed into a gigantic dog with black fur and lava running through its body.
"Go find Alecto!" he commanded. "Bring her back here at once and kill anyone standing in your way!"
It let out a monstrous bark and disappeared into the shadows once more.

"Wow, I can't believe its arms can bend like that," Nancy said in astonishment as she recorded the data.
"THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO!"
"Holy crap, its legs can stretch out for 3 feet!"
"I'M ONLY 4 FEET TALL!"
"Its fingers can turn around 360 degrees!"
"I'M GOING TO TURN YOUR HEAD AROUND 360 DEGREES!"
"Amazing, I didn't know its body could be so flexible!"
"NEITHER DID I!"
It had been less than a week since Alecto had been in this lab, but she left like she wouldn't survive another day in here. Not even her master's personal dungeons were this torturous. Heck, being in Tartarus didn't seem so bad right now.
Right now, Nancy was currently testing out to see if the Fury's eyeballs were the same as humans'. Her eyes were screwed, yes, screwed!, open as the girl examined her. She put a flashlight on her eyes and would touch each corner of them with a scalpel. Thankfully, it was dull. Unfortunately, it was dull.
"Hmmm," Nancy said, deep in though. "Her eyes are smaller than most, and the veins around it seem to be filled with more blood than humans'. Oh? There are small spikes in the corners of her eye pockets!"
Curious, she dug into them. A little too much.
"OW!"
A drop of golden ichor fell from her right eye as a painfully dull scalpel was cut into it.
"Whoops! Percy, I need healing water!"
"Got it!" Percy turned his attention away from the x-rays of the Fury and focused on her wound. He waved his wrist, and the water from the test tube gathered around her and healed the wound.
"Thanks!" Nancy said, happy she could get back to her research.
"Hello there!" Grover said as he happily skipped in the room. He made his way towards Alecto before bowing down. "I will always be in your debt," he said in a serious tone.
The Fury glared at him.
Percy and Nancy weren't the only ones' happy about their new subject. When Grover had found out that 'his service was no longer required,' he skipped in joy the entire school day. He ran through the fields, sung in a weird language, and ate all the cans and metals he could fit in his belly.
Grove always made sure to thanks his 'Savior' at least ten times every day.
Just as he was about to leave, the door burst wide open as a large dog entered the room.
The temperature of the room instantly rose as the dog let out a mighty roar.
"ROAR!"
The streams of lava of its back erupted and exploded all over the room, causing some papers to go up in flames.
"OUR RESEARCH!" Percy and Nancy yelled out.
The smoke rose in the room and activated the sprinkling system. The machines turned on and rained down upon them. As fast as he could, the mad scientist grabbed all their data and protected them from the water, allowing them to be water-proof. Immediately, the flames were extinguished, but the damage was already done as burn marks appeared on some of the papers.
"HELLHOUND! COME HERE AND FREE ME!" Alecto commanded. Finally, finally, she would be free from this hell on Earth!
Seeing its objective, the hellhound rushed past Percy and Nancy and knocked down Grover, setting his clothes on fire. It charged straight at the glass tube, head down.
"YES! YES! COME HERE AND SMASH THAT GLASS!"
It was getting closer and closer. Just as it was about to break the tube, the sides of the tube opened, and the hellhound got inside and headbutted Alecto.
The two stumbled and squirmed in the water as the sides closed up. They were trapped.
"Well, would you look at that?" Percy said. "My motion-sensing monitor works!"
"Yep," Nancy said, analyzing what had happened. "It seems that it detected a fast object coming straight for it. And like you said it would, it opened and closed so that the glass wouldn't break, and the subject wouldn't be free. Amazing!"
Percy gave a proud laugh as Nancy kept cheering and complementing him. "Yes, my assistant! Praise me more!"
"YOU THINK THIS IS OVER?! MY MASTER WILL SEND MORE HELP!" Alecto screamed.
The two widened at the statement before drooling. More monsters...?
A groan broke their concentration as the say Grover without any clothes on.
Their eyes widened. W-what was that?!
He had goat-like legs!
"Wha-what happened?" Grover asked, holding his head. He turned around and saw Percy and Nancy looking at him with a thoughtful look and glowing eyes. Why was the room so cool?
His eyes widened as he looked down. Oh, no!
He looked at them with pleading eyes. "C-come on, now! Yo-you already h-have everything on me!" he pleaded.
Percy let out a groan. That was true. They already had basically all of Grover's information on his body except for his legs. And getting that information would only take a day.
"Actually," Nancy said with an evil grin," the papers that were burned were Entries #59-61."
Grover had on a confused look as Percy started smiling.
"In other words, all our data on Subject #1 was now deleted," Nancy explained. "We'll need to do everything again. Everything."
'Ha! Take that, satyr!' thought Alecto. Hey, if she was going to suffer, she might as well take someone with her.
"N-no!" Grover backed up. "P-please! No! NO! NOOO!"
"Grover, are you alright?!" Mr. Brunner galloped into the lab. "I felt a hellhound coming in the sch-"
He stopped talking as he saw what was in the room.
'G-Grover!' he thought, seeing him in a test tube. 'A-and the hellhound! A-and- is that Alecto?! What is going on?!'
He had never been more scared of a sight than right now.
"Well, well, well," a voice behind him said. "What do we have here?"
He shivered and stood up straight.
"I believe," a feminine voice answered," it is known as a centaur."
"Really? It looks like a new test subject to me."
"Me too."
Mr. Brunner didn't look back. He was afraid. Instead, he saw the three in the test tubes giving him a pitiful look.
'You fucked up,' they all thought.
"FOR SCIENCE!"
