Disclaimer: I do not own the Avengers or Percy Jackson, both are owned by Marvel/ Disney and Rick Riordan.
Author's Note: This is a challenge fic, also I have a question for you readers.
1: Would you mind if I added an OC, a child of Mercury, who has been blessed with super speed, this OC isn't a legacy of any of the gods, or related to any of the Avengers, he or she is just an ordinary demigod. Also this story will take place during and I will try to maintain the Skeleton of phase 2 of the MCU. Maybe I will include Phil's team, maybe not, I'm thinking about it.
The attack on Manhattan was still fresh in his memory, and to be honest, Percy didn't know how he felt about the Avengers. Percy had been at Camp Half-Blood, teaching a sword fighting class when a little Aphrodite girl ran up, demanding that Percy meet Chiron at the Big House NOW. When he had bounded up the porch steps, out of breathe from his sprint, he found a group of senior campers already gathered there. Chiron had received a message from an old Hermes camper working for some government agency. New York was being attacked.
Less than half an hour later ten senior campers which included himself, Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Clarisse, Frank, Hazel, Reyna, and Nico, were scattered throughout the streets of Manhattan, armor hidden under regular clothes. The demigods worked in the shadows, keeping the aliens contained, protecting civilians, and clearing the streets. They were given a few questioning looks, but the Avengers stole the limelight. In that regard, Percy supposed he should be grateful. The campers were able to do their part, and their secret was still safe. And, according to the ex-Hermes camper who now worked as a low-level agent for SHIELD, the agency was still ignorant of the demigods' involvement. But they did learn that himself, Piper, Annabeth, Rachel, and a bunch of other demigods that still lived in the mortal world were now on a watch list. Because of the invasion SHIELD was creating a list of everyone that is suspected of having superhuman abilities. Percy wasn't sure what to be scared of, the fact that people that had no relation to any of the gods could now either fly, smash through buildings with their bare hands, shoot projectiles from parts of their bodies, could out run the fastest cars on their bare feet, or control an element. Or the fact the fact that the government was playing "Big Brother" with him and people he knew. He tried to keep up a fake good mood for his mother and Paul's sake. But his mother saw right through him. It was when the three of them were walking through Manhattan and they were walking past a small group of protesters with signs that were saying "Humanity first" "Super Heroes=Freaks."
"People fear things they don't understand Percy." His mom said.
"Huh?" Percy snapped out of his trance.
Paul nervously smiled. "It's just, seeing Thor, Aliens, seeing captain America in the present day, ordinary people being able to do things that are out of science fiction and fantasy books, it's just a lot to take in." He said trying to reassure him. Percy smiled but a small part of him was saying.
"This is only the beginning, first a few small groups of protesters, then before you know it, people you care about being hounded by people who are scared of you because of what you can do."
Percy was about to snap at himself, when his mother's cell phone rang. She looked at the text and handed it over to him.
"It's Annabeth she wants to know if you want to meet her at a café near The Empire State building for lunch?"
Percy quickly texted back yes before waving off to his mom and Paul and going to catch up with girlfriend.
"Finally I was wondering if you were all the way at camp when I texted your mom." Annabeth smiled. She had grown and matured as they were both 18, she lost her ponytail and she grew out her hair. Percy gave her a hello kiss and they sat down and they started talking and she looked down at the beads around Percy's necklace and the latest one had the letters "SPQR" on it.
"So how's Piper's dad doing" Percy asked. She grimaced, and she told him ever since that battle of New York, Tristan Mclean hadn't been the same, he was broken. Hedge had told him that he watched the battle of New York on TV, and he was pretty much for lack of a better term driven insane by the fact that, Gods, Aliens, Other dimensions, and that super humans walk the earth. He had pretty much stayed in his house all the time; he was actually one of the people against the Avengers. Calling them "Freaks, Terrorists, and people who are taking the law into their own hands." Which lead to huge argument between him and Piper, ever since that argument she was spending all her time at Camp Half Blood training. At first she tried to talk to her mother Aphrodite to get her to make another potion that would make her dad forget the argument, but things on Olympus or the underworld weren't going much better. According the Chiron the mist had practically been destroyed since the invasion, so now demigods had to be careful when using their powers or fighting in public, humans could see them but not the monsters. If that wasn't bad enough ever since the battle with Gaia, most demigods had turned against the Olympians they were again lack of a better term on "Quest Strike." They were now refusing to do things for the Gods unless they were given full glory and the god or gods in question would admit their wrongdoing. So the gods in return weren't happy with their children. But things went from bad to worse when the gods had tried to stop the demigods from fighting in the battle of New York, they believed that since it wasn't a Greek threat and that it was so public that they shouldn't get involved. But the demigods defied their parents and helped anyway which caused Zeus to go into a big uproar. He wasn't very happy with Percy and his friends in the first place since they had made him admit to both camps he was wrong to close Olympus. When Percy last talked to Carter and Sadie, things weren't going to great on the Egypt side of things either. They wouldn't say why but just that it was bad. He was snapped out of his thinking by Annabeth smacking him in the head.
"Hey." He said with fake hurt.
"You were day dreaming. I was asking you if you think we were right in defying our parents and helping the Avengers." She with a smile and then a look that most young people when they are second guessing a choice they made.
Percy shrugged. "If you want my honest opinion, yeah I think we were right and doing that. Sometimes that choices that are right are the hardest ones. Wow I think I've been spending too much time with you." He laughed, and was about to get a refill on his drink when he bumped into a girl and spilled coffee on her clothes.
"OUCH." She said loudly. Percy turned and saw that the hot coffee was on her stomach and jeans. He started helping.
"Can I just say what a complete jerk I am?" He said sincerely as he looked at her, she had red hair and green eyes, at first he thought it was Rachel.
She smiled. "Well most jerks would have either ran away, or started laughing at me, but you can make it up to me by buying another coffee." She smiled as she stuck out her hand.
"Angelica Jones." She said as they shook hands.
"Percy Jackson and that girl over there is my girlfriend Annabeth." He pointed at her who gave Angelica a look that said. "Mine." Angelica looked at Percy.
"Wow, your girlfriend looks like she's ready to pounce." She said with a laugh, then she smiled and waved at the front entrance, Percy looked at saw that she was waving at a guy entering the shop, he had brown hair and eyes. When he saw her, he smiled and walked over to her and gave her a hug and kiss.
He looked down at the coffee stain she had.
"Always getting into trouble without me aren't you angel?" he said and kissed he cheek which caused her to blush. He looked at Percy.
"Who's this?" He asked curiously.
"Percy Jackson, he's the guy who is buying me a coffee to replace the one he spilled." She said with a cheeky smile. "Percy this my boyfriend Vance Astrovik." The two shook hands and Vance's eyebrows raised.
"Jeez man where do you work out?" Vance asked Percy. He was just about to lie when Annabeth showed up behind him.
"Percy you going to introduce me to your new friends?" she asked.
Angelica and Vance both shook hands with Annabeth, and the two girls started talking, Percy found out that they had moved in together and were both from New Jersey and chose to move the city since they were both going to ESU.
"We wanted to be independent, but we still are starving students." Vance said with a small laugh which Percy had to agree with. A little while later, the group conversation was cut short when Angelica's phone went off.
"Sorry." She said "We gotta go, classes to get, teachers to fall asleep to, and parties to attend, nice meeting you guys." The two got up and left.
"Well that was fun." Annabeth said as the two finished off their coffee, but Percy wanted to see something, he lead Annabeth to his old apartment when him and his mom lived with Smelly Gabe.
"Seaweed Brain why are we here?" She asked with an annoyed look on her face.
He smiled. "Just wanted to make sure this place was destroyed, I don't think the building insurance covers Aliens."
Annabeth smiled. " I was hiding out fighting some of the Aliens when I saw Captain America do some pretty hard damage."
Percy turned with a fake look of Jealousy. "Does the Daughter of Athena have celebrity crush on the ultimate World War 2 propaganda tool?" He asked, her response to him was punch in the shoulder then a kiss on the cheek.
"He's cute, but you're sexy." She said as she hugged him and they walked to Percy's mom's house.
Author's Note 2: I hope these characters weren't OOC, I hope you guys see the two Easter egg characters I put in the story. Finally I want you guys to tell me in the reviews why you think it would be bad if SHIELD found out about the demigods, other than the fact that SHIELD is HYDRA in disguise. Again this is a challenge fic.
