Greek myths are real Aliens or Monsters c21
Sam moved away from the command room heading to the closes bathroom where she scrubbed Nico's blood off her hands before clenching the basin tightly taking a deep breath she looked up at the mirror, at her reflection. She could barely recognise herself, her hair was in a braid but it was messy she would have to redo it at some point but it still looked fine for now it was her eyes that she did not recognise they looked tired but had an edge to them. Moving out of the bathroom she had to find someplace to think even though this building was large it was starting to feel enclosed. She moved over to the piano and started playing on it, right now she was playing a song she had memorised for fun. It was Perfect by Ed Sheeran as she played she lost herself in the notes music always helped clear her head. She knew why this building was feeling too small it was the mark on her arm that gave it away, the need to go outside and enter the trees that had her playing the music faster trying distract herself from that feeling.
"I have only heard you play once that fast and that was when you were trying to tell me about the war." A voice behind her stated once she had finished the song
"Mom, sort of fitting then as I am being dragged into another." Sam replied not turning to face her but she felt her mother move so that she was sitting next to her on the seat.
"What is going on Sam?"
"I just needed to clear my head."
"Samantha?"
"Full name ouch." Sam retorted turning to look up at her mother who was looking at her with caring eyes. Sam looked down at the bracelet on her arm, she didn't turn her wrist over to look at Artemis's symbol she did not think her mother would appreciate that mark on her. "I don't think…it's just…this whole thing is bigger than us. What do they expect from us? Fighting the titans and His army was hard enough now there is an army ten times that size not to mention that we will be fighting on two different fronts aliens on one side monsters on the other." Sam stated as she started playing on the piano again. "I'm scared."
"That is a good thing."
"How is that a good thing?"
"That means you won't do anything reckless. I know you Sam, fear has never stopped you from doing anything before and I doubt it will now. You have a good head on your shoulders you will use your fear to achieve what needs to be done."
"Part of me was expecting you to whisk me away."
"We don't run from our problems, besides I think a few very powerful beings would stop us before we hit the highway." Her mother smiled Sam couldn't help but laugh. "Now what do you need help with?"
"I need the Romans to agree to help." Sam stated "I need to find a way to stop the earth if she wakens we will be seriously screwed. Then I need to find the other infinity stones. That and stop a war."
"Oh is that all?" her mother retorted in a joking manner, she was trying to help her relax and not get stressed over everything. Sam wouldn't look back up at her, no that was not all she had to come up with a way to tell her that she was now part of the Hunt and that she will not be returning to her once this was all over.
"I know right, short list should be done by the end of the week." Sam replied in the same manner her mother used.
"Hey here you are." Annabeth stated entering the room looking at Sam with her mother.
"Yeah? Did you get in contact with Chiron?"
"I did, he is sending Rachel here. He said there is something we should know." Annabeth replied "Everything okay?" she asked
"Yeah, just needed to clear my head. I honestly don't know how you and Percy do this sort of thing."
"What's that?"
"Lead, everyone looks to you for answers…I don't like taking lead, sure you don't want it?"
"You have a relationship with these mortals, on this we will follow you."
"I know. Come on we have some stuff to do before Rachel gets here." Sam stated
"Do you know why she is coming?" Annabeth asked as they walked out of the room.
"I can only guess." Sam replied
They were in the command room arguing with Peter Quill and his team as they did not know why they were listening to a bunch of kids Rocket being the most vocal. King T'Challa was on conference call he was confused also but was listening not giving his input, he was planning to reserve judgment.
"Enough!" Sam shouted gaining everyones attention
"Sam."
"No, I am over listening to these mortals moan and whine. If we did not need them they would have an arrow in them by now…but we are not meant to be fighting each other. We need to work together. Thanos is coming with his entire army, but that is only one of the problems we will be facing. This problem however is the reason why you are here. You hate him, and in all honesty when I saw him I completely understand for your fear. If you do not want to follow us fine, but you need us just as much as we need you. You will not win by yourself; that is the whole point of this meeting. If we want to win, to save this planet to save all planets we need to stop complaining and start working. What are your strengths? I know how we are going to help, I know how the Black Panther with his army is going to help, and I know how the Asgardians are going to help. I know that he is wanting your friend over there Gamora he is looking for you. So you will be his focus when he gets here other than the stones, so do not go thinking you are all high and mighty because not even a talking racoon can take on his army by themselves." Sam stated the room was in silence for a while as they stared at her when Rocket looked like he was going to say something else she stopped him. "One more word from you so help me Apollo I will send a dozen arrows at you before your friends even register what is going on."
"Is this a bad time?" a new voice asked making everyone turn to look at the door, standing there was Rachel Elizabeth Dare.
"No, we were just coming to an understanding. Take this opportunity of silence to fill us in." Sam stated
"You know why I am here." Rachel stated
"Who do you need?" Sam asked
"Annabeth, Percy, Leo, Hazel, Piper and Frank there should be a seventh…he is not here." Rachel stated
"The only other demigod here is Nico and he is no shape for a quest."
"No it has to be the son of Jupiter."
"Mixing Greeks and Romans?"
"You wanted them to work together."
"Where will you send them?" Sam asked
"That is for them to know…you need to get them to work together."
"I seriously think the gods have chosen the wrong demigod for this job." Sam mumbled
"What is going on?" Steve asked as Annabeth and Percy shared a look with Rachel and Sam.
"I would like to second that what is going on?" Hazel asked
"The six of you and Jason will go on a quest, Rachel will give you the details of it later…I will get them back before the fight yes?" she asked Rachel
"That depends?"
"On?"
"If they succeed." Rachel stated indicating for the six to follow her out
"Sam?" Annabeth stated looking at her
"Go, I will be fine…just be careful."
"Try not to shoot anyone, you need all the capable fighters you can get." Annabeth stated with a small smile.
"No promises it is only Monday." Sam stated and watched as her friends left the room.
"Are we not going to talk about it?" Tony asked
"No."
"Are they going to…?"
"No, they will do their job. Our job is to locate the stones." Sam stated letting the adults take over as Tony and Coulson began talking about possible places Thor giving his opinion and Quill also sharing his on where they might be. As they talked Sam could only guess what quest the others were being sent on, she had a feeling it was to do with freeing Death. She just hoped they were successful.
