Wooooo I am back. Sorry for being away so long but I have started back at college and have been doing a lot of university stuff and that takes forever. But I will try and update between a week to two weeks if I can on a regular basis. It's a bit short but I will work on the next chapter and make it a bit longer. The amount of reviews, follows and favourites astounds me so thank you all.

Chapter 8

Percy POV

Waking up left my head pounding as though I had been run over by a herd of elephants, but then again the hulk was equivalent to that. Groaning I sat up blinking the spots out of my vision and nearly being sick as a bout of dizziness overcame me. I hope Banner was not hurt too much. Groaning I was about to get up when the door was flung open and a red headed women stormed in. Oh Gods.

"Jackson, what the hell were you thinking? You could have gotten yourself killed." Natasha said in a deadly voice. I shrugged. "That's right you weren't thinking you idiot." She moved closer till she was about a couple of feet away. She smelt like roses blooming and I smiled thinking that only she could smell so sweet but be so scary.

"Good your awake." Said Clarisse walking in. I rolled my eyes as Natasha stepped away from me realising how close we were. "Got a nasty cut on your head that was bleeding a lot, they had to stitch it up." My hand went to my head where there was something prickly on my forehead that went back into my hairline.

"How long was I out for?" I asked.

"The rest of yesterday as well as all the morning" Said Natasha

"What happened to make him snap" I thought about Banner and the way he was scarily out of control.

"He touched that red rock thing or that's what Stark said." My heart skipped a beat as my face paled "You alright prissy you look like you have seen a ghost" said Clarisse

"Call Fury I need to talk to him and for gods sake don't let anyone else touch that rock" I said getting off the bed slowly, as I headed to the bathroom. The girls shared a look when they thought I was not looking.

"Percy what going on?" Said Natasha worried.

"I have big news from camp and it's not good news." I said as I opened the door.

"It never is" I heard Clarisse mutter as I closed the door leaning my back against it.

Line break line break line break

I was freshly dressed and after a long shower my head felt better and most of the bruises where nearly gone. I headed down the corridor back to Fury's office where hopefully Natasha, Clint, Fury and Clarisse was waiting. They all knew about camp I thought they should know what's going on and it makes sure there are more agents involved. Clint had been waiting for me to wake up before saying anything. I walked into the room where all four faces turned to look at me.

"Take a seat Agent Jackson I hear you and Agent Barton have some news for us." Said Fury he looked tired, I assumed the council had probably kept him up all night speaking about what happened in New York. I nodded pulling out a chair beside Natasha hopeing she was not still angry.

"I had been summoned by the gods" I started.

"Really, did they try and kill you?" Clarisse asked intrigued. Fury gave her a look and she blushed a little.

"Apparently something big has been stolen, something that's got all the Gods, goddesses and demi-gods scared. They called it the Pandora's box." Only Clarisse went a bit pale as Fury motioned for me to carry on. "You have all heard the tale of how it was opened and out came greed, pride, envy, wrath, lust, sloth and gluttony. Apparently all the gods were not able to put it all of it back inside but were able to trap it some of the power in rocks."

"No way" breathed Clarisse. "You can't be saying that rocks we found" Clint nodded.

"That stone that Clarisse and I found we think was one of them. Whoever found it they have been trying to harness its power and if that happens." I shuddered at the thought.

"Agent Jackson does that mean this could be a threat on national security." Fury asked his eye calculating.

"I would think so Director, especially if it can do that to Banner." Looking around everyone was thinking. "Did you recover the stone as we can't let it get back into enemy hands."

"There are teams looking for it now it can't have gone far." Said Fury he pulled up some images of the lab. It was in ruins a big hole in the side, metal surfaces dented and all equipment smashed. Clint grimaced looking at it as Tony was probably upset.

"I think we should involve the Avengers" Natasha said finally.

"Bu-"I started but she put her hand up to stop me.

"However we will not tell them what it is we are doing but who we are looking for." She said and my panic receded a bit. "Make sure that any information containing Percy is sealed and anything on the Greeks is blacked out till after we have finished otherwise Stark probably will hack into Shield." Fury nodded as this had happened before.

"It's a threat and we need it sorted out as soon as possible and Agent Romanov make sure that they understand this is classified."

"I will Director" she said as she got up to inform them.

"And Agent Romanov tell Stark to get a guest room ready as Agent Jackson will be staying with the Avengers we need all the help we can get" she nodded and hurried out of the room. I mentally groaned and Clint just shot me a smile that possibly meant we are pranking everyone.

"Agent La Rue you will be camp half-bloods liaison, I can't spare Jackson, Barton or Romanov. Think of it as your first solo mission." Fury smirked a bit and then turned his piecing gaze at me. "Pack your bags Agent Jackson you are going on a sleepover"

"Urg a sleepover more like a nightmare" I really did not want to stay there I liked my own personal space "Director what would I do if they find out about my parentage" he smirked again.

"Well let's hope that does not happen" I groaned as my head started to pound again. "I want reports on what happened at the Camp on my desk in a couple of days" Fury said as he got up a left the room.

"I am so screwed" I groaned into my hands.

"Don't be a baby Lancelot, now you get to spend more time with me." Said Clint standing up with a cocky smile on his face. I groaned again this would be a long mission.

3rdperson POV

Three men walked into the laboratory all wearing black with their faces covered the lab was a mess with papers flying about and a hole in one wall were a fake police helicopter was hovering.

"You know what to do" said the man in the middle to the other two men. Grabbing the tongs off the floor he brought out a bag and picked up the glowing red rock on the ground. The shorter of the other two men walked up behind him handing him a metal briefcase placing the red rock within it.

The other two men were now smashing up laboratory equipment and the computers in the lab. Once it was done the men joined the boss and got ready to get in the helicopter that now had landed on the top of the Avenger tower.

They got in the helicopter as the leader took out a phone and dialled a number.

"We have it and just like you said Banner proved a great distraction" the person on the other line said something and the leader nodded to himself. "Yes by the time they have searched the lab we will be long gone before they realise the rock is no longer there. We also got there research they were able to collect. It looks like they may have solved where we went wrong." The man smiled under his mask as he finished up the conversation and closed the phone.

"Good work boys it looks like everything is going to plan. Get the troops ready we will go after Jackson soon. After all Jackson will prove to be a valuable weapon" he smiled again as the other two laughed.
