Prolouge
(Don't know how to explain POV—mix of many different transitions...probably)
The waiting room was packed with black suits of different agencies. One agency was bent on destroying, and then rebuilding the world—Hydra. He other aimed to protect everything and stop Hydra—SHIELD, but nonetheless they all stood in the same room, not talking, nor fighting, and not moving due to a treaty that they both agreed to as two of their best agents had fallen in love with each-other. A love that neither of them could've prevented, due to them meeting underneath their agencies noses and doing missions together. Separated from their agents, freedom missions that aimed to please just the two of them.
Then the woman, from SHIELD had gotten pregnant and no one knew why, the man was sterile and couldn't reproduce, and the woman didn't want kids...yet. The sounds of screaming, heaving, and heavy breathing filled the room and about ten hours later a cry was heard and the agents from both sides stood up. The Hydra agents left without a word and ten minutes after the SHIELD agents left as well. Their jobs were done, protect the baby until it was born, and their agents. Hydra couldn't punish the man because it wasn't his child, and SHIELD couldn't do anything to the mother because, well, she was a mother now.
A week later the couple moved to their new apartment and the mother, since discharged, harshly at that too, couldn't earn for the family. The man went out and did all of he dirty work, capturing blood money, stolen money, blank money, and anything else from the 'jobs' that he went out and pulled off. As the two most wanted peoples in America they both had to move out of the apartment after a couple months when the baby was well enough to move somewhere else, and the father, with his missions had bought a beach house in the middle of nowhere really. Off of the grid, and with plenty of room, money, and time to raise their child.
The mother noticed two things immediately in their child, as did the father, but he passed it in as young clumsiness. Their child made no sound when it came into the world, the mother had been the one to cry out in relief, but the child hadn't. Nor had it seen anything, it was blind, he sea-green color of his eyes deceived this conclusion, but when he walked for his first time the mother noticed him following his mother's voice and not her, but they loved him nonetheless.
The mother broke the news to the father and he had left for a little while, a couple weeks later he came back with a scientist, carrying him on his shoulder, and he pointed to his child when the scientist woke up.
"Fix him" was all the man said and he scientist took three hours to assess the child, his injuries, or rather disabilities. Then he assessed if he could or couldn't fix the child. He asked the mother of there was any abnormalities in his behavior, and the mother told him that he had very acute hearing, loved the color blue, even though he couldn't see it, and water seemed to come to him. The doctor did a few tests and then turned to the mother.
"You're going to need to train him to see using his abilities to see things and get around, and the mother nodded in thanks and the father came back in, knocked out the scientist-doctor person, picked them up, took their boat out to the middle of the sea, put a ball and chain on both legs, and shot the man in the head. The body stilled, then fell over the edge of the boat, and the balls and chain brought him to the bottom of the ocean where creatures would eat him to bones, the water pressure would turn those bones into an unrecognizable skeleton, and his body would be later turned into the sea-floor.
There was no mess on the boat as the man came back, and he scrubbed it anyways and anchored it close to shore. The rest of that year was spent on getting the child to go speak and make his way around, but later they found out that the child literally had no vocal cords, and so no voice. So they just taught him how to use his powers, his hearing, turn his weakness' into strengths, and remember his name—Percy Achilles Jackson.
