SO, the reason I haven't been updating is because my computer decided to kick the bucket! I'm not able to get a new one until next year, so I'll try to find another way to update. This is all I have at the moment though.
Will
I was really worried for Leo. His girlfriend and brother were in the infirmary, and I was completely useless to do anything. Nico was recovering nicely, and we Annabeth's help, they both arranged for campers to keep an eye on the war veterans. Which was why Kayla was staring at my back.
Of course, we knew it wouldn't do much. Jake was taken right from underneath everybody's noses. I looked back over the son of Hephastus. I knew he wasn't going to make it. I had done everything I could. It was simply too late. I didn't know how to tell anyone. I hoped Nico could help with that.
When it came to Calypso, didn't know if I could do anything for her either. She was simply getting older. Nobody ever took it into account that if she got rid of her immortality, she wouldn't be a teenager anymore.
Needless to say, I was a little panicky. That was not good for a doctor. Doctors have to be cool under pressure. However, according to Leo, Atlas was going to do this to every last war veteran. There were around thirty of us from the first war. There were many more in the second war. And I had no clue how to treat them.
I placed back and forth. Think, Will, think! Now is not the time to go clueless. The whole camp is counting on you. Find a cure!
Natasha
I wish I could've known about all this earlier. The Avengers could've helped. Half god or not, I couldn't see how a bunch of teenagers could take on a Titan. It was ridiculous.
I already knew Clint was thinking the same thing, and I wouldn't be surprised if Bruce was on my side. I was surprised Steve was so on board for this.
Or maybe he wasn't. I glanced over at him. He was arguing with Nico. Those two obviously had some background. Them and that girl Hazel. As far as I could tell from the tape, she was the reason Steve went with Leo and his friends. The demigods I guess I could say.
I was still a little peeved by the tape. I hadn't gotten to talk to Leo about it. But I would make sure he got what he deserved. Same side or not.
Speak of the devil, Leo walked out of the house, a pained expression on his face. Tony followed, eyeing Leo with sympathy.
Leo pointed Tony over to myself, Clint, and Bruce, sending him a glare when Tony started protesting. Then he caught Nico's eye and the two of them made their way to the other demigods. Steve came back over to us, frowning.
I turned to him. "What the heck was that?"
Steve shrugged. "I just mentioned Nico's sister and he went ballistic."
Clint sighed. "She meant, why did you betray us?"
"It... wasn't technically betraying, it was just helping the competition."
"Yeah that's so much better."
I narrowed my eyes at the group of demigods while they continued arguing. They were all nestled in a huddle, muttering quietly. Every once and a while a head would shake or nod. I gritted my teeth. Did they want our help or not? They weren't going to get it if they kept excluding us from their plans.
Tony caught my expression and rolled his eyes. "Calm down, Natasha. They're just deciding whether or not they can trust us.
Clint rolled his eyes before sarcastically replying, "Really? Is that all?"
"Cheer up friends!" A booming voice came from behind us. We all turned to see Thor waving at us and grinning like a lunatic. "The lords and ladies of Olympus are kind and trustworthy warriors. They will welcome you with open arms."
"What do you mean 'you'?" Bruce asked, sounding a bit peeved. "Don't you mean us?"
"Is that not what I said?"
Tony nudged me and pointed. I punched him in reply before looking in the direction he was pointing. Don't ever touch me. Ever.
A blonde tough looking girl marched up to us, stopping to study us thoughtfully. I noted she had a knife strapped to her arm, as well as a sword at her side. I immediately felt a sense of danger coming off her. This girl was powerful.
"Take one step out of line not even Apollo would be able to heal you." She spoke firmly, making it clear she didn't trust us. Then she turned and led us into the house, sending Leo a glare on the way in. Leo looked away, uncomfortable, before following her into the house. Soon, when found ourselves in a room with a ping pong table. The demigods settled around the table.
There were 15 present around the table, not counting the Avengers. The centaur, the blonde girl, Will, and Leo stood at the head of the table. On the right side of the table was a boy with black hair, Hazel, a muscular Asian boy, twin boys, a tough girl with stringy hair, a boy with goat legs, and Nico. On the other side there was a petite girl twirling a flower, a girl with feathers braided into her hair, and a blonde boy.
"Welcome Avengers." The centaur called out. "I am Chiron. Please, join us for our meeting." We filled in the remaining spots, with Steve and, for some reason, Tony standing at the head. I sat next to the blonde boy, who looked a bit like Steve. The boy nodded at me.
"Hello demigods."Steve started, sounding a bit uncomfortable. "Some of you know us already, but I'm Steve, this is Tony, that's Bruce, Thor, Clint, and Natasha."
"And I," started the blonde girl, "am Annabeth. You already know Chiron, Leo, and Will. That's Percy, Hazel, Frank, Connor, Travis, Clarisse, Grover, and Nico. On your side is Katie, Piper, and Jason. We're all war veterans, so don't treat us like kids."
"That's enough, Annabeth." Chiron cut in. "We aren't here to fight. The Avengers can help us. And you know we need help." Annabeth fumed, glaring at Steve. "Will? Anything to report?"
Will sighed. "I have Kayla working on it now. She's running tests on Jake. So far, we've found no poison in the blood stream or stomach. But it's too late now. I'm afraid Jake isn't going to make it." I didn't know this Jake guy, but the demigods obviously were mad over his death. "We have confirmed that Calypso was definitely not taken by Atlas. This is an immortal problem. Either way, she won't let me really look at her. She keeps yelling at me to worry about Atlas, not her."
"But can you find a cure?" Grover pressed.
"Truth is." Will hesitated looking at us all nervously. "I'm not sure there is a cure."
