Everyone turned their heads towards Percy and just as the giant wrecking ball broke through the wall tearing into the room. Percy activated his super speed and took over out of harm's way putting them on the far side of the room. He looked back at the wrecking ball and saw it got stuck a few feet into the room.
However before Percy could move to see who did this attack he felt something launched at him wrapping itself around his neck. Percy tried to remove it and saw that it was a collar of some kind. It was black and suddenly it glowed green;
Your powers have been deactivated! Specifically;
Pocket dimension control
Earthquake, Water, Shadow, Ice manipulation
Power of the Kefka gauntlet neutralized
Super speed
Flow of mana has been disrupted! You can no longer use your mana!
Percy couldn't' believe what he was seeing. Somehow this collar powered him down, he was useless!
Just then several gun shots went off and Percy heard Dalen scream. He turned to see The collector down, bleeding out as the assassin from before stood over Edward with his gun pointed down.
The assassin was just about to shoot Ed in the head when Michael jumped in and attacked the guy with Riptide in hand.
Percy watched as Michael swung Riptide down on the assassin only to have his swing blocked by the man's two guns, he must have healed from Percy's attack already. The assassin then kicked Michael back and leveled his gun at the demigod and fired repeatedly.
Just when it seemed all over Thalia stepped in and lowered her shield deflecting all the bullets off of Aegis startling the Agent due to the face of Medusa portrayed on the shield.
The Assassin then jumped in and knocked Thalia's shield to the side before punching the demigoddess across the face breaking her nose with an audible crunch. He then pulled out a knife from nowhere and shoved it between her ribs.
"Thalia!" Percy was furious, he moved before he really had time to process what was going on.
He may not have his powers, but he still had his weapons. Percy reached in and pulled out Waverider and activated the weapon. He transformed it into it's sword mode and attacked the Agent head on, he may not have his powers, but he still had his skill.
The Agent pulled out his knife and blocked Percy with it. The knife snapped in half the moment Waverider hit it. The Agent and Percy went back and forth in their attacks. Soon the body guards finally got their shit together and leveled their weapons at the Agent, "get down now!"
The Agent simply looked at them before he backed up slowly putting both hands up in the air. Everyone watched him as slowly two guards came to try and arrest him when suddenly he dropped both gus and with a flick of his wrist two remote control detonators appeared in his hands.
"Move and I blow you all up to kingdom come," Agent 46 spoke up in a cold tone shocking everyone.
"You're bluffing," Percy narrowed his eyes.
The Agent moved his jacket revealing a vest strapped onto his body containing large amounts of C4.
"Are you crazy?!" Dalen shouted, "you would kill youself!"
The Agent didn't look conflicted, he just looked determined, "my mission comes first."
"Everyone back away," the Collector said as he growled out in anger. He held his shoulder in pain, Percy figured Agent 46 must have hit the man with something that could hurt a vampire.
"What do you want from us?" Edward asked.
"Not you," Agent 46 said turning his eyes to Percy, "just him."
Percy's eyes shot up in surprise. But before he could do or say anything the Agent pressed one of the triggers in his hand sending a shock through Percy's neck from the collar knocking him out.
Some time later;
Percy woke up as his eyes slowly lifted themselves. He heard the sound of a motor boat tearing through the water. Percy felt before he saw the water splash around by the side of the boat.
"Where am I?" Percy murmured but as he looked up to see Agent 46 standing at the boat's wheels steering them away from New York.
"With me," the Agent said as he slowly stopped the boat the moment they were out of the bay.
"Why aren't I dead?" Percy asked as he felt around. His arms were bound behind him with a ziplock, it was tight, but Percy knew he could break it. He decided against doing so, first he needed to find out what the Agent wanted.
"I could have killed you any time I wanted to," the Agent turned around and took out a briefcase from the seat next to him and placed it in front of Percy.
"If you didn't have this collar you wouldn't be saying that," Percy grumbled out as the Agent opened the suitcase revealing a screen inside with a strange logo displayed. It was a triangle with a skull in the center with a crown on top of it. On each corner of the triangle was a letter I, C and A.
"Your powers are great, but you have no proper training and lack the skill," the Hitman said activating the screen which changed to an image of a man in a silhouette.
"Hell Mr. Jackson," the shadowed man said in a muffled voice, "I am so glad The Agent was able to bring you in."
Percy looked at the screen and then at the Agent, "why am I here?"
"Because we wanted you here," the man said.
"So wait, you went through all this trouble, you killed Don Fanico, targeted Edward and the heads of Abyss, just so that you can get your hands on me?" Percy asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You underestimate your worth Mr. Jackson," the shadowy man replied, "and who said you were our only objective? The Agent had a mission, we knew he couldn't complete it with you around, so we decided to cut our losses. Luckily we managed to get you as bonus."
Percy narrowed his eyes, "so what do you want?"
"To offer you a position in our ranks," the man said surprising Percy.
"Why do you want me to join you?"
"Any person who managed to kill Kishin Argo is worthy of our attention," the man replied surprising Percy.
"How do you know that?" Percy narrowed his eyes.
"We have contacts everywhere," the man replied, "in this case it was Argo's assistant, Mr. Jake Haro that provided us with the information. Once we knew what you looked like all it took was a little digging and we knew who you were."
