Chapter 3

There was a knock on the door. "Captain, the director has returned and would like you, Dr Banner, and I to meet them in the control room." Agent Romanov said.

"I'm on my way."

Steve, Natasha, and Bruce walked together into the control room and watched as the Agents were directed to lift off into the air, with Director Fury commanding them from the raised control panel. Bruce had gone towards the oval tabel while Natasha stood back with her arms crossed behind her back.

"We are at level, sir." a female agent said, turning to Fury.

"Good. Let's vanish." Fury said.

"Engage retro-reflection panels." the female agent ordered.

After they had turned practically invisible in the sky, Fury turned to the two men now standing around the table.

"Gentlemen." Fury said walking towards them. Steve met him halfway and, reaching into his pocket, pulled out a ten dollar bill and handed to him, causing Fury to smirk slighlty. Steve went further as he examined everything while Fury approached Bruce.

"Doctor, thank you for coming." He held out his hand to shake Bruce's. Bruce hesitated but eventually shook it.

"Thanks for asking nicely."

There was a snort from the doorway, causing Steve, Bruce, Natasha, and Fury to turn and see Coulson, Barton, and Percy standing in the doorway.

"Hey I offered them beer but they refused and interrupted the family barbecue. But, hey, Doctor Robert Bruce Banner, the name's Persephone, but you can call me Percy, it's nice to metcha." Percy said with a large grin, walking forward and shaking the doctor's hand with no fear. Dr Banner was startled and sent a hesitant glance towards Fury as if to ask if she was always like this. But Percy held his attention when she snapped her fingers, making a snickers appear in her hand. Bruce blinked and stared. Percy noticed and grinned again. "What? Oh, would you like something? Bacon cheeseburger? Chocolate shake? Fried Chocolate covered strawberries on a stick?" As she spoke, she snapped her fingers at everything, making them appear in Bruce's hands.

"W-Wh-How are you doing that?"

Percy smirked and wiggled her fingers. "Magic, Doctor."

"There's no such thing as magic."

"Well then think of it as this as I don't have the time to take you to places that you can only imagine like, my 'magic' is me doing the impossible and things only found in comic books."

They were interrupted when Steve suddenly realized where he knew that voice, and where he remembered seeing this woman before. No matter how brief their meeting was all those years ago.

"Y-You're her." Steve rasped out, causing the people assembled around the table to look over at Steve whose eyes were completely riveted on Percy. "Y-You talked in my head a few hours ago, and years ago when Bucky fell from the train. And you're the one that helped save me from being beaten up in that alley, too!"

At his words, Fury, Coulson, Natasha, Bruce, and Barton had the realization that Percy didn't have the appearance of an 80 year old woman like she should if Steve remembered her from 70 years ago. In fact, she looked like a woman in her early 20s.

Fury looked at her sharply. "Miss Jackson, do you care to explain yourself?"

Percy just winked at Fury. "I told you, Fury, that information is classified… and I'm sure that everyone here would have a heartattack or a change of personal life choices if they knew who and what I was."

"What are you? Like an Asgardian or alien or something?" Barton couldn't help but ask. Percy turned her head and smiled softly at Barton.

"Close, Agent, but not quite."

Fury opened his mouth, no doubt to question her more, when there were alarms beginning to go off.

"We got a hit. A 67% match." the male agent said. "Wait. Cross match, 79%."

Coulson walked over. "Location?"

"Stuttgart, Germany. 28 Konigstrasse. He's not exactly hiding."

There was a slight bit of silence. "Captain, Miss Jackson, you're up."

Steve nodded slightly. While Percy grinned. "Yay! It's about time we got something to do. It was getting terribly boring here." Then she twirled and in a bright light her casual outfit she had been wearing was changed into an outfit that she hadn't worn since she was with her family.

"Let's go kick some Asgardian butt!" Percy said before leading the way towards the qunjet they were going to be taking. She loved acting like a teenaged, human girl. It was so fun!
