WARNING!!!Some of the things in this chapter might make you uncomfortable!!!

"Loyalty cannot be blueprinted. It cannot be produced on an assembly line. In fact, it cannot be manufactured at all, for its origin is the human heart - the center of self-respect and human dignity. It is a force which leaps into being only when conditions are exactly right for it - and it is a force very sensitive to betrayal."- Maurice R. Franks

Percy's POV(a few months after Steve is injected with the super soldier serum)

Things were not looking good. The 107th was sent out to Azono and things were NOT looking good. Being the only doll in the 107th came with many many disadvantages. But some of those disadvantages could be used to my advantage.

Like the fact that no one bothered to pay attention to the doll in the army! I could go around and take down whoever I wanted, because what ever could a doll accomplish during a fight? A lot!

Quickly surveilling the ongoing fighting around me, I could see that the other men of the 107th weren't do as well. So I did what I did best. I went to who looked like they needed help the most. Which was everyone, everywhere on the battlefield...

I don't remember much only that the battle failed and it took close to 6 men from the opposing side to subdue me. I was hit over the head repeatedly and then nothing.

When I woke up, I had this pounding in my head and I couldn't move at all. If not for the distant sound of an explosion and wind on my face, I would have thought I was dead. But I knew what it should be like when I died, and this was not it.

I could tell that my hair was a mess and if the pain coming from all over my body told me anything, it's that the Aphrodite kids would faint from how bad I looked at the moment. One problem! I couldn't open my eyes! My muscles felt like they were made of lead and I could faintly hear a man with a German accent muttering.

"Not a scratch he said. Fine, there will not be a scratch. Not one scratch."

It was cold. Very cold, and I could sense that there was a lot of snow around, but just as with my body, I couldn't move it an inch no matter how hard I tried.

The only reason I knew how much time was passing, was because of the soft ticking of a wrist watch. So I listened. I had gotten to the count of 21,523 ticks when we slowed down. From the way the wind isn't blowing through my hair anymore, I could tell that we weren't moving very fast. The sound beneath the wheels sounded like a mixture of rocks and slightly damp leaves and twigs. It smelled like the forest but the smell of risen earth and the slightly uneven ground suggested a mountain. As did the feel of a giant formation of rock through the damp air.

Just great. In the mountains. I couldn't remember the geography of the areas around Azono, so I couldn't tell where I might be.

I could feel two unknown men lift me up from my tossed position in the vehicle, a flivver probably.(no duh, am I going to know any of the enemies, most likely not) The next thing I knew I was being hooked up to a device, but what confused me most about it, was that it was a chair, not a table.

Something was put on my head and both of my arms were restrained.

Another man stepped into the room and he walked with a great purpose by the sound of his footfalls.

"Is this really the only subject you were able to salvage Dr. Zola?" A commanding voice spoke.

"My apologies, but she was the only one light enough for me to carry. She is quite petite." Timid voice said back.

"Check her physical condition first. Look for any sicknesses. If she is relatively healthy then we can continue."

"Of course." I tried so hard to move when he said this. They can't see them! I'm not something you can just use! I'm not! I'M NOT!! A tear of anger slipped out my closed eyes.

"It appears that the subject is conscious." The commanding voice noted.

"Oh! I will fix that righ-"

"No. With the sedatives you gave the subject earlier, it should be enough to keep even me trapped in my body for a couple of days. The subject won't be able to fight back. Only put the subject back under if there are signs of improved movement Doctor. We aren't wasting anything on the subject if we can help it."

I couldn't stop it. I felt a few more tears leak out the sides of my eyes and make their way down my face.

Suddenly the commanding voice was much closer.

"Don't be like that. This can be practice for later, keeping you a prisoner in your own body." I tried desperately to get away! But it was in vain. I felt his hand move up and wipe my tears away. I wanted to scream! Why!

Why why why Why Why WHy WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY!!!!

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO US? WHAT HAVE WE EVER DONE TO DESERVE THIS!? DO THE FATES LOVE TOYING WITH US SO MUCH THAT THEY CAN'T LEAVE US ALONE? LEAVE ME ALONE!

I felt as they took off my clothes. At least they had the decency to keep my bra and underwear on. When they did, I heard a few gasp. No doubt at the amount of scars littering my body.

This only stopped them for a moment though. I was given a full physical, as much as could be given to a person who couldn't move. My eyes were pried open and light shown in them. This was very difficult. Because once an eye was opened, it didn't close again. I saw the room around me.

I couldn't move my eyes in any direction, just stare at the room in front of me. I could see a tray of medical instruments. I could see a man who was short and wearing round glasses.

I could see a sink and I could see a drain on the floor in the corner of the room near the door. My eyes started to hurt around then and watered. But with my eyes watering, it just made me able to see better.

I could see my body in front of me littered with scars, most old from the Titan and Giant wars, and some new, like a burn on my middle right thigh from an Empusa that was very clumsy and tripped over her bronze and donkey legs. There were bites, slashes, stabs, scratches, acids, spider web designs, cuts, frost bites, scars that had to heal naturally and scars that were sewn shut. I had a few lichtenberg figures on my arms from fights and disagreements with Thalia and Jason.

In the sink I saw a very suspicious looking fire. It smelled like burning cloth.

And then the man seemed to realize that I could see and shut my eyes again. I was wiped down, which felt very weird, a needle injected into my arm and the feeling of blood being pulled came. My hair was cleaned and my nails trimmed, it felt like I was being made ready as a sacrifice or something along those lines. Around 2 hours later, I was all done up nicely(the Aphrodite kids would have liked the masterpiece that I was made into).

Only difference between earlier and now, is that I haven't been clothed yet. So this twit burned my clothes. Was my only though before the door opened once again.

"So she has gone through the game of torture, has she?" The commanding voice from earlier asked.

"It appears so. And from what I can gather from her blood, she may have been poisoned once or twice recently. Though, there isn't a sufficient amount of the poisons in her system now, so I can't trace what kinds they were." It was the Doctor.

"So she is a perfect candidate?"

"Yes." The Doctor said to the commanding man without hesitation.

There was a pause before the response came. "Give her some of my blood, an implant and then put her in the machine Dr. Zola. See to it that she is put on ice afterwards."

"The ice here or...?"

"The ice up there will suffice."

"Of course."
