I watched "The Avengers" a few weeks ago and decided to do a fanfiction revolving around a team of book characters and here it is! This is set after The Last Olympian but is an alternate timeline from HoO (Hera is still kidnapped by Gaea but Jason and Percy aren't switched), after Mockingjay for The Hunger Games, after Angel for Maximum Ride and after The Serpent's Shadow.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Prologue

The Olympian Counsel was empty except for Zeus, all the other gods were out looking for Hera. Suddenly Athena materialized in the room, her face was stern as she walked over to Zeus's throne.

"There is no sign of Hera in the Midwest, I think you know what is happening," said Athena

The King of the Gods said nothing "We are at war with Gaea, we need a team to help us defeat the Giants," she continued. "Lord Zeus I think it's time."

"Absolutely not, we can't leave the fate of Olympus to mere mortals," asserted Zeus.

Athena scowled. "Humans and Gods must work together to defeat Gaea, the Avengers Initiative was created for times like this," she pointed out.

"Your team is uncooperative, impulsive and full of loose cannons, I will not let the defending of western civilization to six teenagers," replied Zeus.

"You can't just shut down Mt. Olympus and hope that Gaea will go back to sleep. We need the team, think of Hera," said Athena.

Zeus thought about what the wisdom goddess said, he did miss Hera but he didn't full trust mortals either.

He sighed. "Assemble the Avengers."

Percy Jackson

It felt good taking Annabeth on a date, even if it was our first.

I would like to say that I took her to Monte Carlo or Hawaii but sadly I could only afford a trip to Skate-Universe, the only place in New York City was sure to be free of monsters. Probably because they figured no demigod would dare step foot in the tacky space themed skate ring.

We skated for a while, well I didn't "skate" as much as I did fall on my butt but I should get credit for trying. Annabeth on the other hand glided across the floor perfectly, just like everything else she did. A few guys even tried to flirt with Annabeth while I was lagging behind but I sent them off with my best "Talk to my girlfriend again I will use my half god powers to end you" stare but they probably mistook it as "Back off".

She and I had technically been in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship after our underwater kiss following the Battle of Manhattan, it hadn't been the first time we made out but I guess Annabeth's kiss when I was dying near Mount St. Helens didn't count.

"Why are you so good at everything?" I asked as we skated towards a table carrying tacos and fries from the snack bar. But I knew asking her that was like asking "Why is the sky blue?" even though I'm sure Annabeth knew the answer.

"I don't know seaweed brain," answered Annabeth. She was wearing a UCLA sweatshirt over her orange camp half blood t shirt and skinny jeans (the spots of yellow paint told me that they were borrowed from Rachael Elizabeth Dare), her hair was slightly messy after sailing in the wind like golden tentacles of a giant sea monster but she was still beautiful.

As we ate Annabeth talked about her early years in Virginia, growing up with her dad and the years at camp before I arrived. She avoided most details about Luke and I didn't press her for more, I could sense that she still missed him. I talked too; about mom and her new husband Paul Blofis, about me before I found out I was a demigod, she laughed when I told her the story of the great spaghetti fiasco of the fourth grade.

"So why did you deny Zeus's offer to become a god?" asked Annabeth after I finished telling her about the 6th grade, the last normal year of my life. The question caught me off guard and I took a minute to think, why had I?

"Because if I were a good I'd miss all the good things in life. Prom, graduation, college, minimum wage job," I said sarcastically but the truth was I should have taken Zeus up on his offer, for most demigods life was short and full of challenges.

Annabeth and I chuckled at my response. "Hey they're serving chocolate chip cookies," said Annabeth as the smell of fresh baked cookie dough and chocolate filled the ring.

"You want some?" I asked.

"Need. Cookies. Now." was Annabeth's response.

As I waited in line I couldn't help but notice a chill go down my spine, maybe I was just date-nervous but pulled out Riptide in ballpoint pen form just for good measure.

I was just about to walk back to Annabeth with two cookies in hand when I turned around and saw my worst nightmare. Athena, Annabeth's mother.

Normally seeing Athena in a mortal skate ring would be mildly weird but know that I was dating her daughter I couldn't shack the feeling that she had changed her mind and decided to vaporize me.

"Hello Percy, courting my daughter with sweets I see," said Athena as she looked at the cookie in one hand and Riptide in the other.

I gulped. "Hey Athena, listen whatever you think is happening..."

The goddess of knowledge cut me off. "I have not come to interfere with your date, although Annabeth deserves better she loves you and as a mother I understand," that was a relief. "The real reason I am here is that Olympus needs you Perseus Jackson,"

That was a shocker. "Okay," I replied, I was getting way to used to immortals sending me to save things. "Can I at least say goodbye to Annabeth?" I asked, glancing over to our table.

"I gave permission to see my daughter, the context of when and where are subject to change," answered Athena before grabbing my arm and teleporting us away from Skate-Universe and my date.

So that's the first chapter, sorry it's short I tried to keep it around 1,000 words. Next chapter will be about Maximum Ride and Jason Grace. Review please :-)
