Just a head's up: Thalia is in this fanfic but her appearance is based off of the way I think she looks not the way Rick Riordan made her look. Hope you guys enjoy the chapter and tell me what you think.

Chapter 2

The Organization headquarters was a large, multi-story building with plenty of people and plenty of rooms located in San Fransico. Annabeth stepped inside and walked to the sleek black security desk. At the desk was one of Annabeth's best friends, Rachel Dare. Rachel was one of a kind, she had long, firey, frizzy, hair, piercing green eyes, and freckles dotting her pale skin.

"Hey Dare, how's your mural going?" Annabeth asked

"Hey, Chase. It's going… well, it's going alright I guess, I'm not all too happy with it so I'm gonna start over. What's not going is that all black ensemble there. Don't be going all emo on us Chase." Rachel teased as she pointed at Annabeth's outfit. It had never occurred to her that she was wearing all black until now. Annabeth was wearing a black beanie, Malcolm's black sweatshirt, some black leggings, and a pair of white sneakers.

"Huh, I didn't realize that. But you know what's also not going? You wearing my sweatshirt." Annabeth replied as she noticed that Rachel was wearing her super comfy grey owl hoodie.

"So is wearing my beanie but I don't judge. And I was cold and your door was open so it's technically your fault."

"Touche"

"Oh, um Chiron was looking for you. Said that he had to brief you on something."

"Ok thanks Dare see you soon" Annabeth called as she tossed the beanie at Rachel and went to Chiron's office.

Annabeth, passing tons of Rachel's fabulous art on the way, walked towards Chiron's office with anxiety settling in as she wondered why and what Chiron would be briefing her.

~XxX~

Annabeth walked into Chiron's office trying to calm herself down. The room was dark and set up for a briefing. Chairs were set up in rows, all the other furniture was crammed into one corner, and a projector had been turned on and mounted onto a wall. Chiron himself sat in his wheelchair by the projector reading a book. Annabeth cleared her throat and a startled Chiron looked up from his book.

"Oh! Annabeth I didn't see you there, it's nice to see you!" he said.

"Nice to see you too Chiron. Rachel told me that you had to brief me on something," she said

Chiron scratched his salt and pepper beard confused, but soon his eyes lit up as if he remembered something. "Well, yes and no," he said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Yes you are getting briefed, but I'm not the one doing it."

"Then what is all this?" Annabeth asked, pointing at the chairs and projector.

"Oh that, some new recruits came today and I had to show them the orientation video."

"See any potential?"

"Yes, this group has boatloads of potential, the group was five young girls and a young boy." Chiron smiled. "Now come on they don't like to be kept waiting," Chiron said as he ushered Annabeth towards him. Annabeth smiled as she walked towards Chiron. The Organization was created during the height of the women's movement and as a result, males weren't included. As time went on only a couple of men were begrudgingly accepted, but now it seems that the agency is moving towards completely integrating the genders. Annabeth set down her bag and suddenly remembered something else her mentor had said.

"Wait, who's they?" Annabeth asked as she ran towards Chiron, who was now wheeling himself away from her.

"Why The Council of course, now come on Ms. Chase we are already late as it is," Chiron replied. Annabeth stopped short and crashed into Chiron's wheelchair. The Council were the leaders of the Organization and were a secretive bunch.

"Hold up, The Council as in the actual leaders of this place is briefing me? And another thing, how do you know The Council?" she asked utterly astounded.

"Ms. Chase, of course, I know the Council, who do you think told them about you?"

"The Council knows who I am!?"

"Of course you are their best agent after all, right this way Annabeth," he said. Chiron placed his hand on the wall and a scanner appeared.

Welcome advisor of The Council, a robotic female voice said. Annabeth looked at him in shock. It seems like Annabeth doesn't know Chiron as well as she thought she did. A door appeared out of the wall and led Chiron and Annabeth into a secret room.

"It's about time you came, Artemis was about to send a search party to look for you." a voice behind them said. Annabeth spun around to see a handsome man who looked like he was in his early twenties. This man had blonde hair styled in a bun, a blindingly white smile, tan skin, and lots of muscles. Annabeth immediately knew who he was, Apollo twin brother of Artemis.

"Y-y-your Apollo." Annabeth stammered

"Indeed I am. You must be Annabeth, I've heard many good things about you," he said

"Well then let's start the meeting shall we?" Chiron asked as he made his way to the table. The rest of the members made their way to the table and patiently waited for Annabeth to do the same. Meanwhile, Annabeth looked at the members in awe. Artemis, Apollo, Athena, Hestia, Aphrodite, Demeter, and Hera were her idols while training here and still are today. Annabeth snapped out of her daze and took a seat at the table.

Athena stood and turned on a projector. "We have received intel that our enemy, The Renegades has hired an assassin to kill the members of The Council. Their goal is to take over The Organization and use our technology and intelligence to destroy the world as we know it. We, of course, cannot let this happen." she said, her grey eyes piercing into Annabeth's soul.

Artemis continued, "We have reason to believe that The Renegade headquarters is in Manhattan and that most agents go to the nearby Goode High School. Your mission: infiltrate the school, take down the assassin, and find out more about our enemy."

Aphrodite cut in, "You will not do this mission alone, of course, we have assigned Ms. Rachel Dare and Thalia Grace to accompany you."

Great, two of my best friends to do this mission with. The three of them would make a great team anyway Thalia is cut-throat and isn't afraid to make the difficult choices when the time comes and Rachel brings everything into a different perspective with her creativity and art. Oh shit, her art I forgot about that … Annabeth must have spaced out because Athena broke into her train of thought. "Is something bothering you Annabeth?" she asked.

"Well Mrs. Athena-"

"Athena is fine Ms. Chase"

"Well then, Athena I'm not bothered by anything more concerned about my partners. Not that anything is wrong with them, Thalia and Rachel are great and really good agents. It' just…" Annabeth faltered

"It's just what?" Athena asked

"Well, it's just that Rachel likes to finish what she starts, whatever it may be and I know from experience that it may not be the best idea to assign Rachel to this mission since she's in the middle of working on a mural."

"I see, well is there someone else you have in mind to replace Rachel?" Athena asked.

"Piper Mclean ma'am. She has a skill set like Rachel's and will be useful for this mission," she replied.

"Very well then, you should brief her and Ms. Grace after the meeting. Apollo do you care to continue the meeting?" Hera asked

Apollo started the meeting again, "From now on you will be known as Annabeth Wilson from Southern California. You and your family moved here for work-related reasons but have to go on a business trip. You are a straight-A student who speaks almost fluent Spanish and likes to run. You also have a basic fighting background. Ms. Grace's new alias is Night Freeman and Ms. Mclean's is Sarah Brown. It is up to them to create a background. If anyone asks the three of you are cousins."

Hera cut in, "You are dismissed Ms. Chase please brief your teammates on this mission, your flight to New York leaves tomorrow."

"I won't let you down council members." Annabeth said as she left the room. Annabeth quickly picked up her backpack and rushed to find Thalia and Piper.
