This is my first crossover so please be patient with me. It takes place in MR right after they get Angel back from the School in the first book and right after the battle of the Labyrinth in PJO.

Max POV
I soared through the skies of New York City with the Flock, consisting of myself (Max), Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel. We had just escaped from the School for the second time after rescuing Angel. We decided that we should try to find the Institute Angel heard about (well, sort of heard—she was reading minds) while the Whitecoats were testing her.
Fang came up beside me and caught himself up in my slipstream. He smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back. I mean, we were free of the School, we had Angel back, and we had a lead on our parents. What wasn't there to smile about? For once, I thought we were going to have a good day.
As usual, I was wrong.
Nudge suddenly dropped from the sky while we were flying over Long Island Sound, followed by Angel, then Gazzy. Fang, Iggy and I raced to pull them up again but Iggy passed out after grabbing Nudge. I had just caught Angel when I saw this and went to help. Once I'd somehow managed to grab up the fallen, I turned to see that Fang was gone too, along with Gazzy in his hands.
What was happening? I was the only one still airborne. Probably not for long though. As soon as I thought that, I was out. The last thing I remembered was crashing through the roof of a big house.
Percy POV
I was talking to Chiron when suddenly a bunch of unconscious kids fell through the roof of the Big House and landed right in front of us. I mean, I'm a demigod and my life is definitely out of the ordinary. But kids crashing through the roof of a three-story building to the ground floor isn't normal—even for me. Chiron even looked surprised.
Just then a Hermes camper (I think his name was Jeb) burst through the door and shouted, "Percy, there's a couple of kids that just fell into the ocean!"
Without really thinking about it, I ran past him out the door towards the gathered crowd on the beach. I dove beneath the water looking around for the kids who fell from the sky. To my left was a guy of about fourteen with raven hair who was clutching a much younger blonde boy. They were going down fast so I hurried to get them up in time. I grabbed the guy in a bear hug from behind and willed the water to jettison us to the surface. When we broke through, the dude and kid immediately started coughing water out of their systems. At least they were alive.
Back at the Big House the four kids who'd crashed through the roof were already settled in the infirmary. However, they were still unconscious. With the help of the heavily-muscled Ares kids, I had managed to get the drowners settled in too.
"What do you think was up with that? Who are they even?" I asked that night at an emergency camp council meeting.
"I don't know," Chiron answered. "All I can say is we have half-bloods in need of help so that is what we'll give them."
"That doesn't explain why they fell out of the sky," Annabeth pointed out.
Chiron sighed, "I, most of all, would like that question answered."
So hope you like this chapter. I have more written down, but that will wait for another day. Please review!
