The kid was not in good shape. It was pretty obvious. When his eyes began to roll up in his head, Phil knew what was happening. The boy sagged against the wall and slipped to the floor, unconscious.
Several agents sprang into action, approaching cautiously before cuffing his hands together.

"Take him back to his room," Coulson said. "And send a medic up, we can't have him dying."

One of the agents nodded.

Coulson switched on his comm. "Fitz, get up here. I need you to reinforce holing cell 428."

"Yes, sir."

Percy opened his eyes blearily before rolling off the bed. He landed on the floor with a thump and a groan. He stood and stumbled to the bathroom to shower.

As soon as he'd finished, he left for the dining pavilion for some breakfast. Early morning sunlight hit him as soon as he closed his cabin door, andhe shielded his eyes momentarily.

"Morning, Seaweed Brain."

Percy uncovered his eyes and smiled at Annabeth Chase. "Hey, Wise Girl. Sleep well?"

She nodded. "How about you?" She gave him a quick kiss and held his hand as they made their way towards breakfast.

"Like a rock."

"Have you seen Nico? He's usually the first one up," she said, glancing around.

Percy shook his head. "Last time I saw him was yesterday right before we talked to Chiron. After we left the Big House he was gone, so I just assumed he'd gone back to his cabin."

Annabeth shrugged. "He seemed pretty wiped out. He's probably just sleeping in."
Percy nodded in agreement.

They ate breakfast and were about to part ways for some training when they heard a shout coming from the common area. Travis Stoll was running towards them, waving his arms dramatically and shouting something Percy couldn't quite make out.

"What happened? What is it? You didn't prank Clarisse again, did you?" Annabeth demanded.

Travis shook his head wildly. "There's blood on the grass, down by the border. A lot of it."

Percy glanced at his girlfriend. She was listening intently. Blood wasn't exactly abnormal for Camp Half-Blood, but down by the border? If someone was injured, what would they be doing there?

"Show me." Percy looked behind Travis, trying to see it from where they stood. Annabeth and the son of Poseidon raced after Travis, coming to a halt when they saw what he was talking about.

There was quite a bit, and it was obvious something had happened there. There was a deep imprint in the grass, too—body shaped. A few of the blades stuck up defiantly, as if someone had tried to cover his tracks.

"Nico," Annabeth and Percy said in unison, darting off toward his cabin. It had to have been Agent Coulson, Percy knew it. He shouted back to Travis, telling him to make sure their prisoner was still exactly where he should be—bound and gagged in the Big House basement.

Percy grasped the doorknob, but the door didn't budge. He wiggled it and realized that—despite certain protocols—Nico had put a lock on the door. The son of Poseidon kicked it down, knocking the hinges loose and sending them scattering across the floor. He stepped aside as the wood fell right where he had been. Percy and Annabeth barged into the Hades cabin, not caring if Nico was still there and getting ticked off at them for kicking his door down. The bed was empty, the sheets tousled.

"He might have just skipped breakfast. Remember how tired he was when we got to your apartment? He's been going somewhere." Annabeth sounded like she was trying to convince herself more than she was Percy.

The demigod shook his head. "Maybe, but I doubt it. Come on, we need to find out if Coulson is still here."

Taking off running again, they met Travis halfway to the Big House. He was shaking his head, a worried, desperate expression on his face. This was one of the only times Percy had seen one of the Stolls be so serious.

Suddenly, Chiron was on the porch, blowing a gigantic horn. Percy tried to figure out what kind of horn it was, but quickly gave up. Let's just say he wasn't musically inclined.

Campers flooded towards the Big House, some dressed halfway in armor and others with weapons being drawn. Percy, Annabeth, and Travis ran to join the amassing group, ready and waiting for Chiron's plan and subconsciously forming one of their own.

~*~

An hour later, the plans had been laid. Chiron had explained to the camp what was going on with the Avengers. This was no longer a little skirmish between Percy and SHIELD. The government had just unleashed the wrath of Camp Half-Blood on themselves.

And, by the looks of the other campers, they were ready to fight. After winning a war against the Giants and the earth herself, Percy knew they could win this. Besides that, Chiron was contacting Reyna and Frank this very second, asking for their help. Sure, Camps Jupiter and Half-Blood still had a rocky relationship, but the demigod had no qualms that the Romans would come to their aid.

Percy pulled Annabeth and the Stolls to the side, trying to get out of the crowd of demigods leaving after their hasty assembly.

"You guys understand what we're doing, right?"

Annabeth nodded and the twins grinned, which Percy took as a yes.

"Good. We'll meet at Thalia's Pine at midnight. Clarisse will give us some time to get out, but we'll have to hurry."

A lot of people were asking if people would be able to touch Nico, because in Blood of Olympus he exhausted himself too much and started turning into shadow. So the answer is, yeah, people can still touch him. It hasn't gotten to that extent…yet. ;) Several people also were skeptical about the fact that SHIELD had somehow created a half-demigod proof cell. Honestly, I just kinda figured SHIELD would be smart like that. Plus, I'm not an invincible author—I do leave plot holes sometimes. Oops :P But, I got some inspiration that might patch that up a bit ;) By the way guys, I REALLY appreciate it when you bounce ideas off me and give me suggestions and point out plot holes. That is EXTREMELY helpful! :D It helps give me inspiration and try to cover up any loopholes :) Okay….just one more thing I think, then I'll let you guys go :) If you have any questions about the story or would just like to chat, please PM me! :D It's kinda hard to reply when you ask questions in reviews, but I'll try my best if you don't have an account or something. PMing would probably just be easier, though. Thank you all! 3
