"Um… I need to talk to Fury."

Skye stared at me for a few seconds, "Are you going to elaborate on this sudden change of heart?"

I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. How was I going to explain this all?

"Listen… I promise I'll tell you everything as soon as I can. Please just take me to Fury. It's important. Trust me?" I asked. I used my pleading puppy eyes that used to always make Annabeth give in. Skye raised her eyebrows, but went to the door and opened it up.

"I'll go get him. Be smart Percy." Skye said. I guess she could sense that I had a stupid plan brewing.

My heart raced as I waited for him alone. What if he hated me after yesterday? What if he didn't believe me? Or worse, what if he did? If I couldn't succeed… well things wouldn't end well. But I had started this mess, and I had to fix it.

A few seconds later, Fury strode into the room with a swish of his leather jacket. He looked suspicious, and my heart fluttered. This was really happening.

"Jackson. You wanted to talk to me?" Fury asked menacingly.

I swallowed and managed out the words, "Yeah… can this be a private talk?" I didn't want the other agents listening in if things went south. Fury nodded cautiously, and the camera shut off with a click.

"Fury… I think we got off on the wrong foot yesterday." I started out lamely. Fury raised his eyebrows.

"Aside from you being a sarcastic little shit?" He asked sarcastically. I swallowed nervously.

"Listen, I'm willing to fully cooperate now." I raised my hands into the air as if to placate him.

"Why the sudden change?" He asked.

"Honestly? It's in my best interest to be truthful. That's the only way out of this mess for me." I told him. That was the truth. My dad told me to bond with them, so this was the first step.

"Well then explain Jackson." Fury motioned with his hands for me to continue.

I rubbed my eyes, and said, "You may want to sit down. It's a long story."

"So the picture of me… There's a reason for the debate over it. Thor is norse, correct?" I waited a few seconds to let Fury get the picture. No sense in beating around the bush.

"Well, there are more than just norse gods. There are Greek and Roman too." Fury raised his eyebrows and sighed heavily.

"Well that just made things a hell of a lot more complicated for me." He said darkly. I smiled weakly.

"Trust me… I know the feeling. So when I was younger, I never knew my father. My mom always told me he was lost at sea or something. Weird things always happened to me though. I got attacked by weird beings - monsters, and got kicked out of a bunch of schools. Then when I was twelve, I was taken to a camp. There I learned that the greek and roman gods are still around. They shift to wherever the epicenter of power is I guess. Right now they are in the USA. My mom and Poseidon had me. I'm a demigod. Uh… there are other people like me. We train to survive monster attacks at these camps. When I first got there, we battled Kronos who rose from the pits of hell. That sucked. Then we just battled Gaea. That sucked too."

Fury held up his hand for me to stop.

"How the hell did we not notice this?" He asked incredulously.

"There is a thing called the mist that basically shields the mortal world from our world. That's why the photo is messed up. People who see me and Annabeth fighting a hellhound can see through the mist. People who see other things can't."

Fury nodded, and sat down into the metal chair with a THUD.

"I know. It's overwhelming. We don't want to cause any trouble though. You guys deal with alien crap. We deal with Greek/Roman crap. Our camps have actually saved the world from destruction far too many times now. I know that…. I don't know…. maybe you wouldn't like us? We haven't bugged you before, and we won't bug you now. Honestly, this whole photo thing was a complete mess up on my part. Usually we are a lot more careful. Our demigod race needs to keep this a secret though. If we revealed our existence to mortals… there would be absolute hell." I pleaded, trying to make sure Fury didn't rat us out to the world.

"I agree with you on that one. People can barely handle norse gods and aliens… let alone greek and roman gods. This has to stay between us." Fury said decisively. I sighed in relief.

"Great! I was so worried - " I exclaimed. It was as if a knot in my chest untied itself.

"Why are you telling me Jackson? If you have powers, you could have gotten out…" Fury asked suspiciously.

"There's another attack at camp. I need to get back to help. We don't know what's going on." I told him. Fury narrowed his eyes.

"Another threat?" He asked. I nodded.

"How would you feel about joining SHIELD?" Fury asked cautiously. I widened my eyes in shock. Allying with them shouldn't have been so easy.

"I think that could work."
