Chapter Eight

By shadowphoenix55

"They got away."

Agent Coulson had the control to not show his fear as Nick Fury paced the room.

"How did they get away?" Fury asked, "Barton is one of our top agents."

"With all respect, I don't have magical powers." Came another voice, and Clint Barton walked in, "The boy can do… things with water."

"And who gave you clearance to barge in?" Fury asked.

"I did." Fury spun to see yet another person enter the room - Maria Hill, "And it appears Percy Jackson is not the only one with 'magical powers'."

Hill pulled up some footage.

"This is from Barton's camera." She said.

The water from the Hudson had reached up and grabbed Barton, tugging him down into the river. The girl - Annabeth - cut across the street, pushing through people that looked stunned.

She peered over the barrier between the street and the river, and sure enough, there was Agent Barton spitting dirty water from his mouth and treading water.

"So he can manipulate water." Fury deduced.

"And can hold his breath in it for an abnormally long amount of time." Hill added, "That's all we know about his powers. We've pulled up a couple files on his backstory, though. His mother's name is Sally Jackson, and his father is unknown. Sally Jackson married a man named Gabe Ugliano when Percy was three. Percy dropped out of quite a few schools for his ADHD, dyslexia, and anger management problems. He disappeared from all records a few years ago - no school, no hospital, no travel, nothing. His mother married Paul Bolfis during that time."

"And what about the girl?"

"Annabeth Chase. Father is Frederick Chase. Mother is - again - unknown. When Chase was five when her father remarried and had two more kids. Chase, like Jackson, has ADHD and dyslexia. Her school records show that she is abnormally smart, even despite her mental disabilities. She ran away from home when she was seven and has no records since then."

"These stories are sounding very similar." Fury muttered.

"The last one is as well. They say his name is Harry Prevell."

"They say?" Fury asked, "We should be beyond they say, Hill."

"Well, this Harry Perevell has been traveling the globe since he was eighteen - each trip with a slightly different face, each trip with a different name. Prevell, Williams, Bones, Smith, Granger, Brown, Black - the list goes on. His first name is always Harry, though."

"Just Harry?" Fury asked, surprised.

"Just Harry." Hill confirmed, "He's been to almost everywhere on the globe - except for Britain."

"He's avoiding it. Why?"

"We don't know." Hill said, "But I looked up all of the Harrys in Britain. A few of them match - but one does more than others."

Hill pulled up a picture.

"Harry James Potter was rumored to be found on his aunt and uncle's doorstep when he was one. We have no record of his parents except for pictures and some information on one when she was young. James and Lily Potter were their names. There is a rumor that they died in a car crash when Potter was young, but there is no proof. Other than that - nothing."

"Petunia and Vernon Dursley took Harry Potter in until he was seventeen, when they moved for an unclear reason. During that time, Potter had no hospital records, no travel records - nothing except for school records. Only grades, however, not pictures. We have no pictures of Harry Potter. In school, he did averagely academically. His school records only last until Potter is eleven, however. Then he has no records until he is eighteen. Until Potter was seventeen, there were sightings of him near his relative's home, but only in the summer. After that, nothing for almost two years."

"So he's a ghost story."

Hill nodded.

"Until now." She said, "For some reason, he decided to move to New York - the first place he's settled since childhood."

"Why?"

Hill shifted.

"It seems like a coincidence, sir."

Fury paused, staring directly at Hill, and then doing the same for Barton.

"If there's anything I've learned," He said, "It's that nothing is a coincidence. Especially three of the people on the our Wanted list are in New York at the same time - and all are planning to stay."

"Well, sir, I may have an answer for that." Hill started, "People like Potter's restaurant, especially students, and quite a few have been posting videos. One of which featured all three of them together."

Fury sucked in a breath.

"If they're in cahoots…" He started.

"It could be worse than we thought." Hill replied, "It will certainly be harder to catch them."

Hill pulled up the moment where Harry Potter, Annabeth Chase, and Percy Jackson were all caught on camera together. It appeared that Potter was asking for their orders - nothing overly suspicious, but the fact that they were seen together, even caught on camera together, made suspicion rise within Fury.

"They may be working together." Fury deduced, "But they may not be. For now, we will continue attempting to capture them separately. Keep an eye out for any other information that would suggest, prove, or disprove that they are working together. Barton, watch your two targets, but lay low. Lull them into thinking that they're safe."

Barton nodded, and, receiving the dismissal, left.

"Hill." Fury said, and the woman snapped to attention, "I want you to try to capture Potter."

Hill's face morphed into one of confusion.

"Me, sir?" She asked, "But Romanoff -"

"Is now on another mission." Fury interrupted, "I want you on this one."

"If Barton can't capture them, how can I?" Hill asked, "I'm not a strong fighter, Fury."

"Not there." Fury replied, gesturing over her body, "But here."

He tapped his finger on her head.

Hill's eyes widened.
