Percy POV

Percy was angry about what had happened at the diner. Now as he lead the way to his apartment he was still fuming about it. When he reached the dirty apartment complex, he turned around and very carefully told Clint and Natasha about the girl he lived with. "Be nice to her and she'll be nice to you" he said carefully. Then he lead the way up to the last floor were his apartment was. He unlocked the door and let them in. He turned to look and see if Raven was up yet. Raven stepped out of the kitchen. Percy could tell that Raven was not happy with him.

"I thought I asked you to get some groceries while you were out," Raven snapped. "Not two people." Percy winced. Raven could be like this sometimes when she did not get her way. She hadn't wanted him to meet with the Kingpin today because today was her birthday. Percy then sighed and told her what had happened that morning.

"Can you hack the files and try to find a Mike Monerston?" he asked confidently.

Raven sighed and rolled her eyes, "Is that why you came to me? So that I can hack something for you?"

Their eyes met and Percy mentaly told her why it was so important. Raven sighed and then started toward the computer. She slid into the seat and then began to type words into the computer. Percy grabbed a chair and sat next to her, watching carefully as she typed in the code. He glanced carefully at Natasha and Clint as they watched at a distance.

Raven broke the unsteady silence, "He doesn't exist, Jackson. I've hacked into every sort of function that might tell who he is, but I have gotten nothing. You may want to try something else." And then she stood up and left the room.

"Well" Natasha said, "That was helpful."

"I suggest that we try SHIELD know." Clint said calmly.

Percy sighed softly. His thoughts were on what the Kingpin had told him and every other assassian about SHIELD. He had said that those people will stop at nothing stop you either by converting you like they had done the Black Widow, who happened to be Percy's role model, or by destroying you like they had done to White Wolf, another person that Percy admired. Know he was stuck in a situation of actually entering SHIELD headquarters. Percy shuddered and then nodded in agreement.

Natasha looked at him criticually, "Are you alright? You look a bit pale."

"I'm fine." Percy said softly and then he turned toward the door and left the apartment so that he could calm down a bit.

Natasha POV

After Percy left, Raven returned and stared at the two of them coldly, "Don't let anything bad happen to Jackson." Was all she said before she went back the way she came. Then Natasha turned and left the apartment that Percy lived and breathed in.

They met up with Percy on the first floor and then Clint began to lead the way toward SHIELD HQ. Natasha took a deep breath and then turned to Percy, "You are afraid of SHIELD aren't you, Percy."

Percy winced and then said what she had expected him to say, "Yes, I am Nat mostly because the Kingpin told us that if SHIELD finds us they will kill us or convert us."

Natasha smiled, "Is it really that bad to be converted into something good, Percy?"

Percy shrugged and then said, "What everyone said was that when you are converted you feel sick to your stomach and can't stand it at all."

Natasha smiled, "That is not the way I felt. I felt happy and pleased that I did something good. Percy, don't you want to feel good and not bad when you don't hurt someone."

Percy stared at her his green eyes flashing as he asked, "What were you called when you were an assassian, Nat?"

Natasha was about to wince and tell Percy to mind his own business, when Clint said, "We're here."

Natasha looked up relieved as Clint lead them into SHIELD. As they entered Natasha glanced at Percy. His face was as white as fresh snow and it looked like he was shaking from head to toe. With a deep breath she took his hand in her own and squeezed it reassuringly. Then the door opened and Nick Fury, head of SHIELD began to walk toward them.

Annabeth POV

Annabeth took a deep breath and began to make her way through the crowded streets of New York until she, Jason, and Piper reached the place that Chiron had told them about. It was an empty looking warehouse on the dark side of the town and standing in between them and the warehouse was a group of really nasty looking kids.

"Well, Matt" growled one of the girls. "What should we do to them?"

The guy in charge…. Matt frowned as he stared at them and was about to speak when a voice from behind the group said "Scram dorks, these guys are not here to see you. "

Matt face became dark and splotchy as another guy came forward then all of the other guys there hurried away. He turned to Annabeth. "You must be Annabeth. Chiron told us you were coming."

"And you would be?" Annabeth snapped calmly.

The guy smiled "My name is Ray. I am Mike's lead protector."

Annabeth frowned "What happened to your face?"

Ray gave a weak smile, "I got into a fight with your uh friend that you're here about."

Annabeth's eyes widened "You mean…"

Ray nodded, "Percy Jackson."
