Percy was the first to come to his senses. He was hanging cuffed to a chain from the ceiling. Twisting his head Percy found the team behind him in chairs probably cuffed too.
The team one by one slowly woke up. "Everyone okay?" asked Gibbs. Everyone said they were and when Percy spoke up they all registered how he was chained. "I have a really bad feeling about this," muttered Percy. "Who did you fight when we got sedated?" asked Gibbs. "I don't know. I never saw him before," replied Percy.
The door opened. Children cuffed on one chain got dragged in. "Percy!" exclaimed one shocked. "How are you holding up?" asked Percy. "Good for now. They want answers, they know," replied the oldest. One of the three guys went to a girl with a look in his eyes that made Percy angry.
Suddenly when the guy was reaching for the girl, Percy pulled himself up and wrapped his legs around the guy's neck. In the very next second, he broke the guy's neck, killing him. "Stay away from them!" hissed Percy.
The NCIS team looked shocked and alarmed at Percy. Another guy came in. "Respect, that you can still defend them, but I should have expected that considering that you are Perseus Jackson," said the new guy.
"Who are you?" asked Percy angrily. "I'm doctor Flannigan. I probably don't ring a bell with you but I know you are special. I know you can do things that defy any science known to men kind. The only thing I still have to figure out is how you can do those things. Once I know that I can replicate it and give it to people and of course me. I will change the world and prove that I am not crazy," said Flannigan grinning. "Yeah, you are crazy," commented Percy looking done at the doc.
"I am not! I will prove it to everyone! I will show everyone what you did!" shouted Flannigan. Percy blinked a few times.
"How do you want to prove what I did? You are missing something very important," asked Percy. "That database of yours will be enough prove," replied Flannigan. Percy chuckled. "It won't be of any use to you. A short question tho, though if you know who I am and what I can do why are you so stupid to hold me here?" asked Percy. Flannigan smirked. "Oh, you see I have made precautions. Should you not hang on that chain for more than an hour a bomb will kill anyone in here. A little warning every second there isn't weight on this chain will be subtracted from that hour," answered Flannigan and revealed a bomb at the wall in front of the group. Percy gritted his teeth, while Flannigan and his men's left
"Percy, I am so sorry. I told him about your weakness. I didn't mean to. He threatened to kill the rest if I don't," said the youngest of the group. Percy turned his head to him. "Jake, it's fine. I rather you tell him about that instead of letting others die," stated Percy. "If I hadn't then you would be able to get out easily!" argued Jack crying. "Don't blame yourself. You are just 13. It was the right choice for you and everyone here. I'll find a way out," reasoned Percy. "Either that or Annabeth comes in here raging," added the oldest. "Or feds are raiding this place," commented Percy.
"Are they?" asked the oldest nodding to the agents. "Yes, Sean. These dear agents are the team I am on in the NCIS," replied Percy. "They sure are holding up good," commented a girl. "Nyssa, believe it or not, it's not the first time they get tied up," responded Percy. "With you around, it's no wonder," commented Sean. "Oh shut up, this is the first time they get captured because of their involvement with me," responded Percy glaring. "Wow, a new record for not getting dragged into something," said Nyssa. "I up your training if you don't fucking stop with that," threatened Percy.
Gibbs and Bishop tried to get to their knives but those were taken. "Anyone having a knife by pure chance?" asked Bishop. "Why a knife?" asked Percy confused. "They tied us up with ropes," replied Gibbs.
Flannigan came back with a knife in hand. "Now you will answer me or I will hurt you," stated Flannigan. "Fuck off," responded Percy. Flannigan cut up Percy's shirt. The team looked disturbed at the scars on Percy's back. "Percy, what the hell happened to you?" asked Gibbs. Percy stayed quiet. "So how about you start talking about why you can do what you can?" asked Flannigan. "Never," replied Percy holding eye contact. Flannigan tsked and cut Percy who barely flinched. Flannigan cut more and more getting frustrated. "I will get you to talk," said Flannigan and left.
Percy pulled himself up and hooked his legs around the chain holding him. He looked at the cuffs holding him and groaned annoyed. The agents looked shocked at him. "How did you scream?" asked Tony slowly. "Not the first time I got tortured. Whatever Flannigan will do nothing can be worse than the first one did," replied Percy. "You shouldn't move. Reserve as much energy as you can," instructed Gibbs. "It's fine. Nyssa any idea on breaking the chain holding you guys together?" asked Percy looking at Nyssa. "With a dagger, I could break the link to the cuffs," replied Nyssa. Percy reached for his boots. "Shit he found that one. Does a pen work too?" asked Percy. "If it's that pen then yeah," replied Nyssa. Percy wiggled around and got riptide out of his pocket. He let it drop as near as he could to Nyssa.
Nyssa picked Ripdtide up and used it to break the link of her cuffs. "Look at the bomb! They are coming back," urged Percy and let himself down again. Nyssa rushed to the bomb and looked over it. "They have a camera in it," cursed Nyssa and rushed back to the others. The door was slammed open. Percy kicked at anyone trying to get to Nyssa.
