Chapter 12(Random Rants Get Results)


Percy pov

I sat on the bed in the cell they had placed me. Everything was white. I mean seriously? First all grey now all white? The room was also pretty plain. A bed in one corner and a toilet and sink closed of with a curtain in another. There was a single light hanging from the center of the room which still lit the room fully. Probably so they could see me better from the camera in the corner. You could hardly even tell where the door was. There was only a think crack along the edges of where the door should be but even that was hardly noticeable. At least my hands were free though there was still a cuff attached to my ankle. I think it was another power blocker thinigie since I still couldn't control the water from the sink.

I was fiddling with Riptide when the door opened and an agent dressed in black came in with a tray of food which they left on the floor by the door. "Hey! You! I demand a trial! I have rights you know!" before I could say anything else he left without even looking at me. Rude. I sighed laying back on the bed.

"I'm booooored." I said. Maybe I could make them come faster if I annoyed them. I could use Riptide but I'd rather keep that a secret unless I really need it. "You guys are really boring. You know it's illegal to hold a person against their will."

"You're a criminal" voice said surprising me. Huh, they must have a speaker in here.

"First of all, I am not. Second of all, I demand a trial! It's my right as an American! I refuse to be kept locked up against my will! And for rich people you could do better than a sandwich!" I said pointing at the tray of food which held what I think was a sandwich but looked more like compost on bread. I paused. No response. Fine. "Guys I thought we talked about this. This room is very bland. I mean all white? Isn't that a hassle to keep clean? You should really take my advice and hire an interior decorator. I mean, if all your rooms are as bland as this one and the interrogation room I'd hate to see what the rest of the place looks like. Are your bathrooms, like, painted all black? Oooo, maybe your kitchen is painted all brown. I mean, I'm a guy and even I think this is poor decorating taste. Maybe you should imprison your decorator instead of me." I sighed. What else to talk about? I grinned.

"Hey, do you guys know why firetrucks are red? Well recently I met this smart guy and I was like, 'hey, do you know why fire trucks are red?' and he was all like 'of course I do' and so I asked him why and he told me the answer was because Firetrucks have 4 wheels and carry 8 men. 4 + 8 = 12, There are 12 inches in a ruler. Queen Elizabeth was a ruler. There was once a ship named Elizabeth that sailed the seas. Fish live in the seas. Fish have fins. People from Finland are called Fins. Finland and Russia had a war a long time ago. Russia has red on its flag. And that's why they're red. Cause they're always russian around.

I mean it may just be me, but that's genius. I bet the person who came up with that is billionaire. Huh. Maybe Tin Man came up with that. But that would mean he was ancient because fire trucks have been around for a long time. But who am I to judge. Maybe he just gets a lot of beauty treatments so he looks young. You know I once had a teacher who everyone said was around when the dinosaurs were. Once when a kid asked him the teacher just stared at the kid and told him that some things are meant to stay secret. Isn't that awesome.

I mean people have been theorized to have lived for hundreds of years way back then and it's just because human genes kept getting more spread out that we live less. Do you think it would be possible to like have an animal born with a lot of genes so that that animal could like live forever? I love animals. Except chihuahuas, I don't like chihuahuas. Or poodles. Dolphins are kind of iffy. I used to like dolphins but then I was on a boat one day and these dolphins started circling. Let me tell you, those dolphins had some sharp teeth. But I love horses. Horses are amazing. My girlfriend hates spiders. I used to not mind them that much but after she told me her experience with them I've grown to hat them too. She always carries a can of bug spray with her.

Hey, aren't one of you guys like the Black Spider or something? I think it's that ginger lady. Why is she even called a spider? I mean, does she shoot webs? Have eight legs. Oh, oh, oh! Does she have extra eyes! That'd be so cool yet also kind of creepy. I mean to have eyes in the back of your head so you could see people sneaking up on you. Gasp. Is that how she does it? I heard she was a good spy or something. Is it because she has eyes in the back of her head? I mean as long as the reason she's named after a spider isn't because she likes to eats bugs I guess it's okay. That'd be just creepy. Ugghhh. Bugs are gross.

Hey did you know that some bugs get energy from the sun? I mean plants get energy from the sun and some bugs eat plants so bugs are getting energy form the sun. without the sun they would die. I mean it's like how humans get energy from grass. A cow eat grass and then we eat the cow. And the grass gets energy from the sun. So technically we get our energy from the sun. Unless you're a vegetarian. Then you don't eat the cow.

Hey how do you think the sun works? I mean this is something that has been bugging me for a while. The sun is a ball of fire. Fire needs oxygen to burn. Space has no oxygen. So therefore there must be trees on the sun that produce the oxygen for the sun to burn! Isn't that amazing. And if trees can live on the sun then other plants can which means that animals can which means that people can. Which means there's a whole colony of people who are living on the sun who we don't even know about. Of course we couldn't go to the sun because we would burn up before we got to the surface or wherever it is that they live.

While we talk about space. Did you know that the moon doesn't rotate so there is in fact a dark side to the moon? Do you think aliens live there? That'd be cool if they did. Maybe there's a whole lunar society ruled by a lunar queen. And maybe the people there are actually immigrants from earth from a long time ago and they live in domes. Do you think they might have powers. Could they possibly have the ability of mind control? That would mean that they might be living among us but we can't tell because they mind control us not to notice they are from the moon. ...."

Meanwhile....

The avengers were gathered together watching the feed from the cell their prisoner was occupying.

"How old does he think I am?" spluttered Tony.

"I like this kid. He's funny. Can we keep him?" Clint said laughing.

"Will someone please knock him out." Steve said pinching his nose finally exasperated with Percy's ranting.

"That's not even logical." Bruce commented, though he had to admit he was fascinated with the kid's reasoning, however misguided it was.

"I'm going to kill him." Natasha seethed. "You can't stop me."

Thor was just laughing at them all and at young Percy's random thoughts. "The child is quite a joker as you Midgardians say."

"Someone please go interrogate him so that he'll at least stop talking nonsense" Tony said.

"Bruce, you go" Steve said, "at this point your probably the least likely, aside from Thor, who won't 'accidentally' kill him."

"...and that's why pineapples are yellow" I finished just as a dude with brown hair walked into the room. "Oh, hey. I was wondering how long it would take for you guys to send someone down. You're the green dude right?"

"Yes, I am the Hulk, but call me Bruce. You did that just to get our attention?"

"Well, yeah. I was bored and figured if I annoyed whoever was watching the feed they would send someone down sooner."

"So... you don't actually believe anything you just said was true?" the dude, I mean Bruce, asked.

I smirked, "That's for me to know and you to wonder at eternally." Bruce sighed.

"Alright, first of all as long as you behave we can ask you questions in here instead of in the interrogation room."

I frowned. "Could you at least take off this cuff?" I said gesturing to the cuff around my ankle.

"I don't think so Nat thinks you may have some kind of powers and from the stunt you pulled in the park we aren't taking any chances."

"So it's a power neutralizing thingamabob?"(hey guys spell check didn't find anything wrong with thingamabob. Isn't that crazy?)

"Yes."

Okay, I thought, this is good. I was worried that the whole room might be power neutralizing. That means that I just have to use Riptide to get the cuff off then I can escape.

"Alright, so we're going to start out with some basic questions." Bruce said.

"Okay, What's your favorite color?" I asked.

"What?"

"You said we were going to start out with some basics questions. So, what's your favorite color?"

"I meant that I was going to ask you questions."

"Well that sounds like a very one-sided conversation."

"This an interrogation not a casual conversation." He sighed, "Look, unless you want to be chained up again and interrogated by a furious Black Widow then I suggest you cooperate."

"Oh! So her name is Black Widow!" he sighed again.

"We are going to start out with simple questions."

"Fine." I said. I'd have to wait till a good time when I was alone to try and escape. I frowned realizing that they'd taken my tranquilizer gun and the small dagger I carried in case I got into a situation where I would have to fight a mortal. Not that I would want to injure a mortal, but it was good to be prepared. I only had Riptide which I could use to defend myself against their weapons but would be useless to cause them any damage.

"Alright, what's your name?" he said reading a paper on a clipboard. I raised an eyebrow.

"You already know that."

He sighed again, "Just work with me please."

I huffed, "Perseus Jackson, but call me Percy, I don't like my full name."

"Alright, next question. How old are you?"

"17"

"What's your favorite food?"

I scoffed, "Seriously?" he just raised an eyebrow waiting, "blue cookies"

"Blue cookies?" he said raising his eyebrows.

"Don't judge"

He shook his head, "Okay. Now, why were you in St. Louis?"

"I don't know. Why were YOU in St. Louis!!!!"

"What? I wasn't in St. Louis."

"Then how do you know I was in St. Louis? Huh? Huh!"

"We know because.........." He sighed struggling not to get angry. "Would anyone else like to take over?" he asked looking at the camera in the corner. "I'm done." He said walking out.

Somewhere outside.............

"You guys ready?"

"Yep"

"Definitely"

"This handsome dude was born ready!"

"Totally"

"Can we just start already?"

"Everyone have their mortal weapons? Remember that our celestial bronze and imperial gold wont work on them. Powers are allowed. We can mind wipe them later." Another chorus of affirmations was heard.

"Okay, follow the plan. Let's go rescue my obnoxious boyfriend from these egotistical heroes."

Back in the tower...........

As Bruce returned to the rest of the Avengers, alarms began blaring throughout the building. Natasha ran to the console.

"There's a break in on the floor above us." She scanned a few more cameras, "It's those kids again."

"Awesome! Time to show them what the Avengers can do" Tony said.

"We'll wait for them here so that we can be ready." Steve said. "Avengers assemble!"

********VERYTINYLINEBREAK*****************

The Avengers gathered near the staircase which the intruders would have to use since the cells were on the basement level. They heard someone pounding down the stairs and then the door burst open revealing an angry, yet intimidating, blond girl.
