Hi Guys, So sorry I haven't updated this story in a while but here is the next update.

I really need people to start reviewing my stories more because I only get 2 reviews after nearly 150 people read the chapter so I want to see at least 5 reviews, even if they're negative comments.

You guys know that I don't own any Percy Jackson characters but I do own Ben and Nick in this story.

Awakening to Struggles

Chapter 2

Stick Together, No matter what!

"Clearly you three aren't in a good mood right now so we'll give you some time to ... think it over" said Nick "oh and a quick word of warning... the shackles are magic and stop your godly powers from working"

Without another word Nick and Ben left the room full of silence.

After re testing his shackles Percy knew there was no hope of removing them at the moment so he checked on his cousins.

He looked over to Jason who was rubbing his cheek the best he could while shackled. Percy then looked over to Nico who seemed to be ok except for the faint bruise forming on his pale forehead.

Percy knew they needed to stick together and find a way out of the room. They couldn't bring down the gods for two Demi-gods with a strange god-complex.

"So what's the plan" asked Jason, seeming to have read Percy's mind. Nico looked up from his corner. He looked at his cousins with curiosity but cautiousness.

"What if they're listening" asked Nico quietly, he looked around the room wondering if there was any way of watching them or hearing them.

Percy looked around the room as well but couldn't spot any cameras or microphones.

"I think it's clear" said Percy but he was still cautious.

"Personally at the moment I think there's nothing we can do except stick together. They won't break us so long as were together" said Jason, trying to inspire hope.

Percy was about to respond when the door opened with a loud crash and Nick and Ben re entered with big grins and two very large screens.

"You know what Jason, You make an excellent point" said Nick "As long as you three are together, you are going to talk, and plot, and try build each other's hopes up every time we knock them down, so... we have these screens in three rooms and guys what kiddies, and you all get your own room.

Percy, Nico and Jason all looked at each other alarmed.

Nick just chuckled. "Oh don't worry boys, you'll see each other, just the audio will only be on when we choose, I hope you all enjoy the shows".

Nick then motioned for Ben to grab Jason while he advanced on Nico.

Jason was struggling and kicking out at Ben but because of the cuffs, Ben quickly restrained him and removed the chain connecting the cuffs to the wall. He then proceeded to drag Jason up to his feet and kick him towards the door.

While Ben was kicking and shoving Jason towards the door, Nick was advancing towards Nico who was also trying to kick the capture away. Again because of the cuffs the fight was easily stopped and his cabin was disconnected from the wall. Nico used this opportunity to smack Nick across the face with his heavy cuffs.

Nick stumbled back "AHH FUCK!" he cursed and Nico tried to get to his feet. Unfortunately Nick was quick and he delivered a hard kick to Nico's chest, sending the smaller male back to the floor with a sharp wince.

"You little prick" said Nick and instead of kicking Nico out the door like Ben had done with Jason, he simply lifted the smallest cousin over his shoulder. He wiped blood from his face and gave Percy a look of hatred before leaving with Nico and locking the door behind him.

Percy's attention was averted to the screen in the room. On the left screen, Percy saw Jason being chained to a wall. He saw Bens shoulder move like he was sniggering before Ben kicked Jason and left the room.

He then looked to the right screen and saw Nick entering the room with Nico and throwing him on the floor. Percy watched as Nico landed badly on his ankle and he saw his little cousins face scrunch up with pain. Percy was furious and started hopelessly pulling on his cuffs and chain.

Nick then looked at the camera that was in Nico's room and waved at Percy and Jason before chuckling and leaving.

Percy saw on the bottom of both the screens were cameras clearly letting his cousins seen him. Percy looked back at Jason's screen and saw Jason looked at his direction with anger but guilt written on his face.

Percy knew that their chances of banding together or escaping had just become a whole lot more difficult.
