After packing up the supplies the Stolls got me, I headed out. I checked out with Chiron and I was off. After my morning shower Annabeth IMed me telling me she needed a break. I agreed my mental health isn't the greatest. It was a mutual understanding which was nice. The real reason though why I was leaving camp was not because of Annabeth or my mom.

Partly yes I wanted to visit my mom. I hadn't seen her for over a year now. But also I got a message. Let me tell you a story of three year old Percy.

Three year old Percy got a lot of bruises, not because he was clumsy. No one noticed except for an older girl named Natasha. I was in the park, not being old enough for school. When a older girl sat next to me. "What's with the bruises?" She asked.

"Nothing, I'm just clumsy." I say, raising her arm I flinched back. "Doesn't seem like nothing, I'm Natasha." She kept her hands on her lap where I could see them. 

"My names Percy." I smiled at her. It started a brand new friendship. We would meet up to hang out her younger sister would sometimes come along. Yelena was only two years older then me. 

When I turned four things got complicated, Yelena would sleep at my house from time to time. Never explained why, Natasha just said one more day away from The Room would make her safe. We had plans to meet at are normal hang out place, a warehouse the government called warehouse 7. 

However Natasha's parents did show up, telling me she died. Natasha and I did have burner phones to contact each other. I know demigods and technology doesn't work but I couldn't throw my chance of Natasha being out there away. Plus her parents told me Natasha died not Yelena. 

Walking out of camp half blood I looked at the burner phone's last message, "Code Hopa, Code BLUE!" Meet up safe. I sighed in relief, as I got a taxi. I'm sorry to say this, but my mom can wait. It's been almost 13 years since I've seen Natasha and Yelena. Yelena and me were even closer then Natasha and me. Yelena and me were closer in age and she would stay at my house a lot. We would stay up most nights talking about lives. Yelena knew Natasha was hiding something, we both knew.

I finally got to Warehouse 7 and walked the perimeter. We don't need any eavesdroppers. I walked in making my arrival known by calling out my identity code. "Identity, 567" (I didn't count up, bonus points to who every figures out why those numbers are important. Hint names)

I waited a while still walking in when I heard a small whisper, "Identity, 765." I hesitated. Waiting for Yelena's identity code of 675. Something that never came. 

"Natasha, it's okay to come out." I was looking around. I heard someone behind me and turned around to be engulfed in a hug. I quickly dropped my bag and hugged back. 

"I messed up Percy." Natasha says shaking. Natasha was 23 years old, but it felt like yesterday I saw her last.

"What ever it is Natasha I am here." I say reassuringly. 

-----------Skip past this if you already know timeline of Natasha-----

We don't know what age Natasha was introduced into the red room. The only age we get is around early teen years. So I made her ten because its early teen years and a ten year old Natasha and a six year old Yelena makes sense. 

Natasha and Yelena met Percy a little over a year before being taken to the red room. 

The movies don't have an exact age Natasha escapes the red room, but we do know she already establishes herself at shield before Iron man 2. In Iron man 2 Natasha is about 26 years old. 

Percy finished the Giant war at age 17, if Percy is 17 and Natasha is six years older then him. That makes Natasha 23. That allows her time to establish herself at shield for 3 years.
