Here is the third chapter, trust me this story does pick up a lot of momentum. I promise that I've done, and will do my best to make my version of this crossover unique in its own aspects. And be sure to read some of my other stories.

THE SCHOOL- Max

Okay, there is one thing you should know about us bird kids we hate being in cramped places. I was glad that the scientist had figured out that the bigger kids needed more room, but they didn't allow that much. Nudge continued to ask Angel more about mystery boy like she had as soon as we found out that a new guy was coming.

"Is he cute?"

"Yes."

"What color is his hair?"

"Black."

"Like Fang's? What color are his eyes?"

"Yes but a lot messier and his eyes are sea green."

"Wow, this guy sounds like he is a jock. Why do you think the School wants him? Do you think he's nice? I wonder if he has any powers and…" Iggy cut Nudge off in her rant.

"Enough with the Nudge Channel, we get it you already have a crush on the poor dude get over it he's probably older from the way Angel talked about him." Iggy snapped exasperated. I couldn't blame him I was ready to tear my ears off. "Sorry Nudge, but right now I've had as much as I can take."

I watched as Iggy lied down and turned his back to us. He's been upset ever since he came back from the test he'd just been put through. I looked at Angel and she turned her gaze from Iggy to me.

'They were talking about another eye experiment, and he was right there to hear it, he's not happy.' Angel told me telepathically.

'Oh, God' I thought as I looked at Iggy sympathetically. He was like a brother to me and if any of us deserved to be left alone by the scientist more it was him. They tried to improve his vision so he could see like a hawk so to speak, but they ended up blinding him all together, who knows what another surgery could do to him.

Another thing you should know about the ware house we were stored in if something's loud enough created sound outside then we would hear it echoing on the inside. We all fell silent and listened to the familiar sound of rapidly moving air. Angel took in a ridged breath and I could see tears in her eyes.

"They got him." She whispered as she wiped the tears trailing down her face. "I can't believe they would take someone who would be missed."

I wanted to hug her and comfort her, but I felt a little horrified myself. I wondered who would miss him, what they were going to do to him, and how he would help get us out of this place. Moments later I saw a whole group of erasers come filling in. Coming out of the center of the group was my half-brother Ari. He was laughing as he held up a chain at the end of it I saw a boy with black hair struggling to breathe as he pulled at the chain around his neck, the boy's face was red and I could see the bruises enlarging around his neck.

"Ari, don't kill him. He's rare, one of a kind I should say. If you kill him we will have accomplished nothing." I heard the annoyingly familiar voice of Jeb interrupt Ari's boasting. The eraser mumbled an apology and hand the chain to the open palm of the scientist.

"So you're the evil ring leader, I knew ugly looked too stupid to plan this all himself." The boy strained to mutter. I had to laugh, I liked this kid already. Jeb looked at the boy almost sympathetically as he removed the chain from around his neck after he put cuffs around the boys wrist.

"So what were you named?" Jeb asked the boy as he led him to a cage directly across from me. The boy's green eyes shot up at Jeb giving him the 'You've-got-to-be-kidding-me' look. "Sorry if it sounds weird but I would like to call you something other than project one half."

The boy sighed and rubbed his throat and for the first time I could see just how bad the bruises on his neck were I winced and knew what was the cause of his injury. "My name is Percy, but I'm guessing that file that that wolf dude is holding will tell you all about me."

I noticed that Ari was walking up to Jeb with the file. Mr. Crazy-jerk took the file and read it he nodded his head in that annoying way he did as he turned each page. At some points I could have sworn I heard him chuckle.

"I see you have a very colorful record Perseus. You shot at a school bus with a cannon, you have blown up a couple of schools, became a fugitive quite a few times, and have gone missing even more than that." Jeb summarized the files with amusement. Percy tried to cross his arms over his chest indignantly and looked at the file in Jeb's hand like he wanted to burn it. After a minute of silence Jeb opened the cage, took Percy's cuffs off and put him inside gently so he didn't harm the new 'project'. Percy's glare never lighten and I had to admit even though I wasn't usually fazed, but even a profile view of his glare sent chills down by spine and through my wings. "If you keep that poker face you should fit in with these other kids just fine."

With those lovely words Jeb left with the erasers. I heard Percy growl and slump back in his cage angrily. Even in the bad light I could see tears forming in his eyes but he tried to blink them back. Poor kid, he was just taken from his life and now was expected to be an experiment. He must have known I was looking at him because his eyes shot up to look at me. I was taken a back at how intensely green they were, like the ocean and I could tell they didn't usually look this dark with hate.

"Hi." He said and seemed to wipe the pain from his handsome face.

I know I sound like I'm fawning over him, but if you saw what he looked like you wouldn't be able to help but say he was handsome too. He had kind looking sea green eyes, his black hair was perfectly messy, and his face had that loveable look that probably made any girl go gaga for him. At first I was too stunned to speak, he addressed me in such a casual manner like he had known me for a long time.

"Hey..." I murmured. He smiled at me halfheartedly and scoped the area out more. I saw his face pale at the sight of all the other cages in the room and his eyes returned to me.

"What is this place?" He asked. I looked at him sympathetically he was just about to be hit with another bomb shell.

"The School." I told him. He looked very confused, which was understandable considering he must have gone to a regular school himself or schools because of what Jeb had said about him.

"This doesn't look like any school I've ever been to let alone heard of." He mumbled under his breath.

"It's not the kind of school you know, they experiment on kids, change their DNA. They alter many things that shouldn't be altered about humans. They believe that an apocalypse is coming and want to prepare the next generation to survive." I explained expecting that he would be flipping out, but he registered the information I gave him calmly as if it wasn't the craziest thing he had ever heard. "I take it you have been in crazy situations before."

He smiled as if he had some kind of inside joke he wasn't telling me about. "You could say that."

The rest of my flock finally decided to join in on the conversation Angel was looking at him with concentration in her eyes and I knew she was trying to read his thoughts. Again I say poor, poor kid.

"Well might as well formally introduce myself. I'm Percy Jackson." Percy told us as he extended his hand as far as he could through the bars. I met him half way and as soon as my hand met his I could tell that despite his friendly demeanor he could clearly hold his own in a fight.

"I'm Max." I told him. Nudge was the next to jump in a little too enthusiatly I might add.

"I'm Nudge." She said as she batted her chocolate brown eyes at him, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Fang." My second in command and crush said bluntly giving Percy a simple nod.

"Sup I'm Iggy." My strawberry haired flock member whispered almost too softly

"I'm Gazzy, or the Gasman." The second youngest member of my flock said. I could see Percy had understood why we called him that and tried to cover his smirk. I looked at Angel expecting her to say her name next but she was still staring at Percy almost sadly now.

"My name is Angel." She said finally "I'm sorry you're here."

"I have some friends on the outside, they won't give up until they find me and then these scientists will see what it's like to get a real godly beating." Percy said and then he burst out laughing Angel did the same. I looked at her weirdly 'inside joke' she told me in my head 'ask him about it, he may tell us.'

"What's so funny?" I asked him. He looked like he was having an internal debate inside of his head, like he was thinking weather he should tell us what he meant or not. His eyebrows furrowed and he looked adorable while he was thinking. I felt my cheeks flush, WO Max, get a hold of yourself, you just met the guy, besides, you like Fang.

"I can't believe I'm about to tell you this." He murmured mostly to himself.

"Then why are you?" I asked. He smiled at me and my heart fluttered a little.

"I don't know, something tells me I can trust you." He told me before he began to tell his story.
