Hello Everyone! Sorry it has been a while. I have had so much to do in real life that I haven't been able to post. I going to start getting chapters up, but it will take a while for each chapter to get done. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or Marvel, but I do own Atti!

Atti's POV
I was doing my daily run around the base when Nico IM'ed me. That's odd, he only calls me when I'm at work if it's and emergency.
"Hey, Percy and Annabeth got taken by a mortal agency called Shield. He asked me, you, and Jason to come break them out. I'll come pick you up with Mrs. OLeary." Nico explained to me.
"I'm down. What gear do I need to bring?" I asked him.
"Just the usual stuff. Although, you might want to bring two extra masks. Piper refuses to let Jason have an all black outfit in his wardrobe. She said it was 'not a look' on him. I'm letting him borrow some of my too big stuff. He said that he'd meet us at Mom's place." he replied.
"Ok, see you soon little bro." I said. Nico gave a small smile at the nickname before slashing through the IM. I sighed as I began walking back to my bunkroom.
While I'm walking, I guess I should give a little context about who I am. I'm Atalanta Jackson, or Atti for short. Percy Jackson is my twin, but he's practically the other half of me. I am the only living demigod daughter of Poseidon. When the Minotaur first attacked us when we were twelve, Zeus merged Percy and I together into Percy's body. We stayed like that until we went on the quest for the golden fleece. Pro Tip: Don't forget to mention that your twin sister is merged inside your body. It never ends in a fight, but you might get weird looks for a while. At least Zeus let us keep the ability to merge whenever we want.
Now that I have gotten that out of the way, I walked inside the base and flashed my security card at the guards before walking through a maze of hallways. I kept walking until I spotted a door with a sign that said 'GROUP 13 BUNKROOM'. I opened the door and walked to the back corner. I opened my chest of drawers and began to get ready. I swapped my sweatpants and tank top for a special pair of black leggings. The leggings only covered my left leg, but they had a reason. I also put on a black, skin tight tank top under a blue hoodie. Before I put my hoodie on, I sat down on my bed and took my mortal prosthetics off.
Now you might be wondering why I have prosthetic limbs. Let's just say Kampe and I have had a quarrel or two. The first time I fought her in the Labryinth, she took off my left arm and right leg. Luckily, when my brother and I ended up on Ogyia, Calypso made me a temporary arm and leg so that I could make it back to CHB.
After the Battle of the Labryinth, Beckendorf made me some Celestial Bronze prosthetics. Overtime, I grew taller, so Leo made me some new ones with the help of Will and Lou Ellen. After a little surgery that was needed to screw magnets into my shoulder and hip, I was good as new. I grabbed my new prosthetics and attached them. They were made of celestial bronze gears covered in some enchanted ice. The ice is completely see through, so you can see the bronze skeleton and gears that make up the inside of the arm. It was quite a sight. A seventeen year old with an ice arm and leg. I swapped my engagement ring back onto my right hand as well as my silver skull ring. Ever since Bi died, I never took the two off. Her proposal was probably the happiest thing to ever happen in the Pit.
After I swapped my prosthetics and put my hoodie on, I started grabbing my gear. I grabbed two daggar, a knife, my tactical belt, my sword hairpins, and my empty gun holster. I sheathed a daggar to my left leg and my right arm. My knife is strapped to my left arm, and my gun holster is strapped to my right leg. The empty gun holster is to hold Mom's gun. I mainly borrow it for my tranquilizing bullets. My two hairpins were placed towards the crown of my head.
After I finished gearing up, I grabbed three black masks and my tactical belt. The belt has the standard demigod stuff like ambrosia and nectar, and unicorn draught, but it also has extra ammo, tear gas, flash bangs, and smoke bombs. I put one the masks and my belt on, and whistled loudly. Suddenly, my two metal dogs appeared. Leo and Hephaestus made Reyna and I them for our birthday since hers were destroyed on our quest to defeat Gaia. Jade is green with blue eyes, and Cobalt is blue with green eyes. They are my service animals when Leo upgrades and does service checks on my prosthetics. They usually stay in the woods where no one could see two giant metal dogs roaming around. Luckily, Chiron contacted an old camper when I told him that I wanted to go into the Marines. Thanks to that, I got placed with a bunch of half-bloods and legacies.
I began to braid my hair down my back. The split black and white hair weaved throughout the braid, and my bangs framed my eyes. I looked in the mirror to see the cold, emotionless eyes. My left eye is a poisonous seagreen, while my right eye is horizontally half black and half stormy grey. If you looked a little deeper, you could see the small spark of hope and joy left in them.
Your eyes tend to change after two blessings, a few hundred deaths, and two wars. But even after all that bull shit, I still had hope.
I looked away from the mirror and walked out of the room and through the maze of hallways. I eventually reached the end and walked outside.
I continued walking into the woods. I spend a lot of time in here. It's quiets and beautiful. No one ever comes in here because of the creepy feeling they get when they step in here. I keep walking until I came across a small pond. Standing by the pond was Nico and my shared pet hellhound Mrs. OLeary.
"Thanks for picking me up Neeks, but I could've called Blackjack though." I said as he walked towards me.
"He would have probably asked you for doughnuts before you even started flying." he replied
"And I would have said no." I commented. He smirked at the comment before we hopped onto Mrs. OLeary's back.
"Alright girl, take us to Mom's" I told the hellhound. She gave a woof before running to a nearby tree. I closed my eyes out of reflex as we went into the tree.
I opened my eyes to see Mom baking cookies in the kitchen. My little sister Estelle was playing with her fake sword and dummy. Percy and I felt that it was necessary to teach her how to use a sword since monsters love to visit us often. Paul had taken some fencing lessons, but Mom helped improve those skills.
Mom had told us parts of her past, but after the Giant War, she told us her entire past. She explained how she is a child of Pluto and that after her parents died, she snuck onto a cargo plane to Russia. She became an assassin for the country of Russia. It paid well and she was desperate. After a few years doing that, she moved back to Manhattan. She met Poseidon and the rest is history. All she needed was to retrieve a few celestial bronze and imperial gold weapons, and she was good to go. Now, we have a hidden weaponary behind the bookshelf.
After Estelle was born, she told us she wanted to spend some time in the Legion. We went as a family to Camp Jupiter and New Rome as Paul and Estelle stayed in New Rome, Mom would work for the Legion. Percy and I had our tattoos fixed to show our Roman side. With the help of some magic and Reyna, our tattoos now depicted of a trident and a scepter. Mom spent four years in the Legion before coming back to Manhattan. I was taken out of my memories as Estelle tackled me in a hug.
"I missed you sissy." she mumbled into my shirt. I smiled and returned the hug.
"I missed you too μικρή αδερφή." I replied. We broke apart and she ran to Nico.
"Look Nico! I've been practicing my Ancient Greek!" Estelle said before speaking a short sentence in the language. Nico picked her up and ruffled her hair.
"Good job! Soon, you'll be able to speak it fluently like your sister and I." he said. While Estelle could understand and speak Latin fluently as it was her first language, she could only understand Ancient Greek. She's a quick learner and has learned many words in the language in a couple months. Hades has decided to take her in as his grandaughter. He homeschooled her because of her ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), and so that she could learn more about her inheritance. I also inherited the disorder as well. Both her and I were a 10 on the spectrum, but add my ADHD and Dyslexia on top of it and you have a silent but deadly demigod.
"It's good to see you home, but where's Percy?" Mom asked.
"The idiot got himself and Annabeth kidnapped by a government agency. He IM'ed Nico and asked him, Jason, and I to go bust him out." I explained. Mom frowned before handing me an enchanted container of her signature nectar infused blue chocolate chip cookies. Every camper loved to eat them as Will and Cabin 11 healed them.
After the war, we needed some one to be a motherly figure for new campers and our orphaned campers. Mom IM'ed Chiron and told him about her heritage. She took on the role of 'Camp Mom'. Even when she couldn't be at Camp, she housed demigods that were in the city and were in need of shelter. Reyna and Chiron had the Hecate and Trivia children put a monster proof barrier around the apartment. Mom taught Paul how to use a celestial bronze sword for extra protection. She could use pretty much any weapon, but she prefers to dual wield a sword and gun. Dad always told me that I fight like Mom, but I didn't know what he meant until I saw her fight a few Cyclops. Mom was an one woman army of destruction.
Again!? I thought I told him to NOT get kidnapped again. Next time, he won't be getting cookies for a week!" She said. I paled, no cookies for a week? That's the worst punishment out there!
"Then again, when is Percy not in trouble?" Jason said as he walked into the room.
"You're not wrong, but the government doesn't need two demigods in their possession." Nico pointed out. I nodded in agreement. The world didn't need to know about the gods. The Mist has already weakened because of a recent alien invasion. I was in Greece when it happened, but the Stolls caught me up on it.
"Now that we have discussed Percy's horrible luck, what's the plan?" Jason asked me. I pulled out the two black masks, and Nico pulled out a black long sleeve shirt and pants. I gave each of them a mask, and Nico gave Jason the clothing. Jason walked into my room to change and Nico put his mask on. In a minute, Jason walked back into the kitchen. His all black outfit contrasted his electric blue eyes.
"Now then, Nico and I are going to take Blackjack while Jason flies. I'll be able to feel Percy's essence when we get close. Nico then will shadow travel us in. Him and I will search for the two while Jason will distract and cause as much chaos as possible. Percy will have Riptide, and Annabeth has a knife in her boot." I explained. I then grabbed Mom's gun and put it in the holster on my thigh. We all did a quick weapons check before we walked out of the door. I whistled loudly for Blackjack. It wasn't long before he arrived.
"Whatcha need boss?" Blackjack asked.
"Percy got himself in trouble again and Nico and I need a ride to go save him." I replied. He nodded as Nico and I mounted him. Blackjack took off with Jason flying behind us. While we were in the air, I swapped my black long sleeve shirt for a black long sleeve shirt over my tanktop.
We continued flying for a few minutes. Jason was now flying in front of us. It had been a silent flight so far until Jason hit something. Jason's collision caused Nico and I to snicker. He galred at us before turning to to the once invisible aircraft to now be visible.
"It's not funny guys. Now let's get inside before we are caught." Jason said. I told Blackjack to wait nearby to help us escape. Jason and I grabbed Nico's hand and we shadow traveled inside.
Luckily, when we traveled inside, no one was around to witness it. I swiftly pulled Nico into the rafters. Once we were up there, I focused on Percy's essence. It wasn't long before the tug in my gut was directing me like a compass to Percy. I began running towards Percy with Nico right behind me. After a few turns, I came across a vent looking down at a glass room. I looked through the vent to see Percy and Annabeth inside the glass cage. A group of strange people were talking to the two.
"They're the Avengers. Those are the people who took them." Nico informed me. The strange people walked out of the room and closed the door. Percy said something to Annabeth that I couldn't hear. With a closer observation, I could see Annabeth's leg in a cast of some sort. Suddenly, a loud alarm rang throughout the air craft. Nico and I looked at each other before jumping down from the rafters.
"Now Percy, why did you get in trouble? You had a one week streak of no trouble going. Why did you have to break it?" Nico asked jokingly. While they conversed, I gave Annabeth some nectar and cut the wrapping off of her leg. Her leg was now as good as new.
"You know damn well that trouble follows me everywhere I go." Percy replied.
"Guys, this is not the time to discuss this. Sparky did his job now we hae to follow through." I commented. They nodded and we went back into the rafters. Breaking a glass cage isn't hard when you use celestial bronze and stygian iron against it. We ran until we spotted Jason through a vent. He was cornered by the Avenegers and some agents. I'm assuming that their leader is the guy with the eyepatch.
"Guys wanna mess with the Avengers? I have a nice little plan to get revenge." Nico asks with a devilish grin that was hidden under his mask. I grinned along with him. He began to make the lights blink. Each time the lights went off, I would shoot a few agents with the tranquilizers. They were silent, so all they could see were agents dropping like flies. Percy and Annabeth were holding in their laughter.
Eventually, all of the agents were out and all that were left was the Avengers, Director Eyepatch, and his right-woman. They looked on in confusion and fear in their eyes. Jason was trying to hold in his laughter, but he was failing miserably. Eventually, Jason let out his laughter as well as Percy and Annabeth. This act confused the Avengers even more. I decided that the jig was up and the four of us dropped down from the rafters and behind the Avengers.
"Now did you really think that he'd come alone? Afterall, this isn't our first rodeo busting Percy out." I say. They all spun around quickly, and Mr. Stars and Stripes' eyes widen considerably.
"You're the Sea Devil's Daughter." He said. I raised an eyebrow.
"Usually the only people to know about me are wanted criminals and gangs." I reply.
"Why would you to be known with wanted criminals?" the Tin Can asked.
"'Cause they usually are disbanded or dead right afterwards." I say. He gulps. Red Headed Wonder seemed to think for a bit before she recognizes me.
"It's nice to see you after a few years. Might I ask why you decided to break into the helicarrier?" She asks. I shrug.
"My brother said you kidnapped him, so I came to break him and our friend out." I say as Jason casually walks to us.
"That was a great trick that you and Ghost pulled. Those agents were dropping like flies." He commented. Nico nods towards him.
"Speaking of agents, what did you do to them?" Eyepatch asked.
"It's just a tranquilizer per agent. They should wake up soon with a headache." Nico answered with a smirk plastered beneath a mask.
"Now that we are all acquainted, I would suggest surrendering." Tin Can Man said.
"No can do Tin Can." I reply as we all drew our once hidden weapons. Percy drew Riptide, Annabeth grabbed the knife she had hidden in her boot, Nico drew his sword, Jason grabbed his gladius, and I unsheathed my dagger. We formed a defensive circle as the Avengers were surrounding us.
"I guess we'll have to do this the hard way then." Short Stuff said as he was shrinking. They charged, thinking we were going to be an easy fight.
Oh boy they didn't know how wrong they were.
We broke our circle as they charged. Jason began to fight Eyepatch and his right-hand woman. Percy and Annabeth were fighting the jolly green giant, Short Stuff, and Tin Can. Nico was fighting Mr. Stars and Stripes, and I was fighting Red Headed Wonder and Bow Bow Siwa. We were all fairing well against them. Red tried to sweep my legs out from under me, but I casually jumped and landed a knockout blow to the temple. Bow looked stunned as I stepped over the unconcious woman and continued fighting. He learned quickly that arrows had no effect when I caught them with my obscured left hand (my metal arm). In a few minutes, Bow Bow Siwa was down and out. I turned to see how Nico was doing, and I grinned at what I saw.
Spangles had grabbed Nico by the collar of his aviator jacket. I could see the look of victory in his eyes, but what he didn't know was that Nico was playing along.
"Who are you?" Spangles asked. Nico grinned mischieviously.
"The Ghost King." Nico said simply before he gained leverage and pushed off of Spangles chest. My group started reforming our circle as agents started to wake up and more came to help them.
"Any ideas?" Jason asked me and Annabeth in Latin. I thought for a moment before responding.
"They will be very confused if we break a window to escape from. Sparky will do his thing, Percy and Annie can take BJ, and Ghost and I can ST. Any questions?" I explained. The few standing Avengers and all of agents looked thoroughly confused.
"Nope that's about all I could come up with. Annabeth replied. She then decided to use their confusion to her advantage and judo flipped Spangles. I laughed at his expression and started running towards the large window. Percy helped by using the water in the pipes to create a path through the agents. I got to the window and punched through it with my metal arm. Percy whistled loudly for Blackjack.
Blackjack flew to the window, and I used the Mist to disguise him as a helicopter. Percy and Annabeth mounted him, and they took off. Jason flew right behind them. Nico and I turned to see everyone staring at us and the events that had just occured. I grabbed Nico's hand and we began running towards Spangles. Once we got close enough, we dropped into a baseball slide, and slipped into his shadow.
The last thing I saw was Mr. Stars and Stripes trying to grab us as the shadows washed over us.
