Ghost and Gem

An Easy Mission

2 hours before The Picnic

:::::::::::::::::::::Stark Tower::::::::::::::::::::

The Avengers sit in a long meeting room with Nick Fury at the head of the table.

"Today I have a special mission for you folks. I say special because on paper this should be the easiest mission you have ever been sent on." Fury slammed a stack of files on the table.

"Jarvis pull up images of Perseus Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace, Jason Grace, Nico diAngelo, Hazel Levesque, and Frank Zhang."

"Yes, Captain Fury" Jarvis's voice echoed as the A.I. brought up images of 6 teenagers.

"Wait what do you want with a bunch of teenagers?" Tony Stark asked, "I thought we were worlds mightiest heroes!"

"Where is all of their information?" Steve Rogers questioned, "These files should be thicker than this!" He pointed out holding up the smallest file of half a page.

"The truth is these six teenagers have caused worldwide crises and we have almost no information on them, in between flares of oddities they disappear. Jarvis show the video clip of Percy Jackson elevator clip on the St. Lewis Arch."

A video feed flipped across the screen at the head of the room. It started easy enough when a fat woman, her dog, a small family, and a young boy entered the elevator. The woman's dog started to attack the boy and hurts him. The boy eyes the dog and looks at the family before breaking the elevator window and jumping out. The woman and dog disappear.

"So a boy gets attached by a dog and we're hunting him down?" Clint Baron asked.

"Not just him." Fury warned, "Jarvis play videos of Frank Zhang in Venice, Hazel Levesque at the Amazon in Anatolia, Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson in front of the Monster Donut, the camera footage of the Empire State Building and in Athens."

The team watched in horror as the children fought grown men and warriors with ease, watched them destroy parts of towns.

"So Avengers, it came to my attention that the last few years these along with some of their less dangerous colleagues go to the New York Cemetery every year and from my research we should target one specific child, Nico diAngelo." Fury announced.

"Why this kid?" Natasha Ramomoff asked.

"At these yearly gatherings he seemed the weakest, he has gotten to the least amount of recorded fights, he wanders off alone a lot, especially during these yearly gatherings." Fury explains.

"Okay team! How about we head to the cemetery now. Don't approach until he states to leave." Steve begins.

"We should surround them to give us the upper hand." Ramomoff continues.

"Talk rationally and ask him to come with us first." Says Tony.

"If he decides to fight he will be out gunned, out manned, out numbered, out planned." Thor notes swinging his hammer haphazardly.

"I can stay in the tower and describe their fighting technique." Bruce Banner adds.

"Looks like you all got it figured out. Call me when you have the subject" Fury says as he leaves the room.

"Let's get going team!" Steve says as he stands up and leads the Avengers out of the meeting room.

The five return to Stark Tower with one bruised head, one deeply cut arm, and a stab wound. Thankfully the injured got patched up quickly and the Avengers met up to discuss the incident.
