Greek myths are real Aliens or Monsters c25
When she got back to the facility she was stopped by Natasha and Steve.
"Where were you?" Steve asked
"Sorting some things out." She replied when she got given a specific look from Natasha she sighed "So it is okay for you to leave with no questions but when I do it you need full debriefs?" Sam asked
"We are adults, you are still 16." Natasha pointed out
"I went to Rome."
"You left the States?"
"New Rome, where the Roman demigods come from…just checking their progress."
"You are keeping something back." Natasha remarked and Sam tried not to frown, Natasha was attuned to her and knew that she was keeping something from them. Sam knew that she had to be careful around her.
"She was trying to influence them…everything should be fine now." Sam stated with a shrug it being clear that was all she was going to say as she walked away from them heading to her room. She ended up walking into Peter, Pietro, Wanda and MJ.
"Hey." MJ greeted making Sam force a smile
"Hey." Sam replied
"You look terrible." MJ stated
"Thanks." Sam retorted sarcastically
"Everything okay?" Peter asked
"Oh yeah perfect, just ghosts trying to possess the Romans into starting a war with the Greeks." Sam stated.
"What?" Peter asked at the same time as Pietro stated cool, Pietro received a slap from his sister.
"You sorted it though yes?"
"For now, what are you guys up to?"
"We were just about to head out. Mr Stark said there is nothing for us to do until the fight starts. Figured no would be the time to do nothing while we can, so we were going to head to the mall."
"Yes, icecream." Pietro stated enthusiastically.
"Do you want to come?" Peter asked
"You guys go, there is still some things I need to do." Sam stated walking away from them, Peter watched her leave with a frown.
"Should we be doing more?" he asked
"You heard Tony, there is nothing we can do now." Wanda stated "Besides I think it is not our company she is wanting." Wanda added as they made their way towards the garage.
Sam walked into her apartment happy to see that her mother was there she was on the phone at the same time as her computer talking to someone deep in conversation but gave her a smile when she saw her. Sam moved into the kitchen making two cups of tea when they were ready her mother was off the phone.
"Everything okay?" Sam asked
"That is my question." Her mother responded
"We are running out of time, gods I hope we succeed." Sam mumbled "So who was that on the phone."
"A producer…they have a new idea wanting my opinion. I said I would look at it so they sent me a brief." Lily responded this made Sam give her a small smile, she knew that making movies was her mothers passion she just hoped she would continue on with it after everything that will happen. She ended up spending the afternoon with her mother, getting Jarvis to record them when they performed a song together. That night she made video in her room and wrote letters to those she cared about. Mostly to her mother, but to Wanda, Pietro, Daisy, MJ, Peter, Natasha, Maria, Clint, Steve and even Tony. She wrote a song for him and Pepper technically there were two one with lyrics the other was just music leaving the hint that it would be a good wedding song to dance to. She was not going to lie to herself anymore after the battle she knew she would not see them again. She ended up writing a song for Malcom and Will then recorded them. She made a short video for Annabeth too because even after everything they had been through Annabeth was one of her dearest friends. She was not sure what the future would hold, but she had a feeling that she was not going to see them again after the fight. She knew they were going to win, because it was not an option for them to lose. She sighed leaning back against the head rest on her bed she pulled out the music sheet her father had sent her, by now she had it memorised but was still not sure on the message.
The next day Sam moved around the halls with a new purpose, they were getting ready to move out to Wakanda, their were so many adults moving around she did not recognise half of them but they were clearly agents. She ended up walking into Daisy who was with May and a tall blonde agent Sam thought her name was Bob or something like that.
"Hey, Sam any news on Annabeth and Percy?" Daisy asked making Sam stop and look at her. She had not informed them that they had fallen into Tartarus or the troubles they faced, they only know that the quest they went on was upmost importance.
"They will meet us there." Sam stated forcing a smile as she walked away but had a feeling that they saw right through her, she was right as she heard someone run after her.
"Sam, wait up."
"I have stuff to do Daisy." Sam stated not stopping but ended up stopping as Daisy grabbed her arm stopping her.
"Something is wrong what is it?" she asked Sam could see her concern.
"Not your concern, I am handling it." Sam stated
"You are not good at lying." Daisy pointed out
"War is coming and we are hilariously outnumbered." Sam stated
"We all know that, this is something else. What is it?" Daisy asked
"You're flying out to the carriers today." Sam stated trying to change the topic, it did not work. Instead she gave her a pointed look one Sam would bet she learnt from May.
"I have some questions is all, I was going to go and get the answers now. Please can you leave it at that?" Sam asked
"You have support Sam, if you need it you only have to ask." Daisy stated but she let her go so Sam left her heading to music room. If she was right she knew that Artemis would be listening, hell she was pretty sure some of the others were watching this preparations she would not be surprised if it was Hephaestus tv. She moved to the music room and sat at the piano taking a deep breath she began to play the song that her father had sent her, she ignored the burning on her wrist or the stinging sensation of her bracelet. She did not let it stop her as her fingers glided over the keys creating a perfect harmony.
"Stop!" a voice stated behind her making her hands freeze, she sat up straighter and turned to face her. "Risky idea playing that piece to get my attention. You are lucky he did not come."
"What is my curse?" Sam asked not reacting to the disappointed expression in Artemis's eyes. Her eyes narrowed at Sam's blatant demand. "Terminus said I was cursed and I have a feeling he was not meaning my bond with you." Sam stated she stared at Artemis for 10seconds before she choked back a gasp and ended up looking down. The symbol on her wrist was on fire and she found herself apologising to Artemis. "Please milady. I was not meaning disrespect…I was just…" she did not know what she was wanting, well she did she wanted answers. "I'm frustrated, but you already know this, please…what is my curse."
"He should not have told you anything…you need to focus on the fight. That is all you have to focus on." Artemis stated looking Sam in the eyes she felt herself tense as she felt all her other worries fading, her need for answers one of them. Part of her knew this was the bonds doing but right now the only thing she could think about was the upcoming fight.
"Do you know where the stones are?" Sam asked
"You will find everything has a drawing point this war, the stones your curse… and that is where you already know. You have a hunters spirit Samantha, you will know when the time is right." Artemis stated before she left. Sam sat on the piano seat for a few more minutes before getting up, she had to check that everything was ready.
