Tony's POV:
"Please Stark? Just track the boy down, surely someone of your talents can do that." Thor pleaded with me. I sighed, ever since the battle of Manhattan was over Thor had been trying to get me to track down this Perseus Jackson kid. I made the mistake of looking up from my work to see Thor putting on his huge puppy eyes. It made me feel like a criminal for not doing what he wanted when he did those eyes.
I sighed again and said, "I'll see what I can do, but no promises." Thor immediately came over to me and lifted my off the ground. I groaned, Thor had surely broken a couple of my ribs with that hug.
When Thor finally put me down he left to go find some pop tarts whilst I was left in peace to hack SHIELD's data base. It wasn't a hard hack; I was in before Thor came back from his Pop-tart hunt. He handed me a strawberry pop-tart and waited for me to locate the boy. Soon enough we heard a beeping noise signalling Perseus had been found.
"He's here in Manhattan, currently in Central Park. Do you want to go meet him?" I asked, knowing the answer would be yes. After all Thor hadn't shut up about him since the battle stopped. To my amusement Thor hastily nodded his head, whilst jumping down from the counter he was on and managed to bang his head on the ceiling.
"Hey guys, what are you doing?" I turned to see Steve, Clint and Natasha walk into the lab.
"We were about to go and find this Perseus kid, want to join?" I asked them, hoping that they would say yes.
"Yeah, I want to meet the guy that Thor hasn't stopped talking about for the last week." Steve said as Clint and Natasha nodded in agreement. We gathered up our stuff and started walking towards the elevator door. "Wait, what about Bruce? Does he want to come?" Steve asked.
I shook my head, "Bruce is with Fury, something to do with those freak storms we had a while back." I said as the others looked at me in shock.
"Wait, so you're not trying to listen in on their conversation?" Clint asked me, eyeing me almost nervously. I shook my head and pressed the ground button, little did they know I already had a bug placed inside Bruce's lab and would listen to the feed after we got back.
The elevator dinged and we got out, walking across the road to Central Park. It was a nice afternoon, warm and sunny. I put on my sunglasses and started walking towards the lake, the GPS system had said he was there when I checked five minutes ago so I hoped that he hadn't moved.
Percy's POV:
"Is that a challenge Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth asked, playfully glaring at me.
I just shrugged, "only if you want it to be Wise Girl." I said, whilst conjuring up a ball of water behind my back. We were all in Central Park, we meaning Leo, Jason, Piper, Nico, Annabeth and I. We had decided to take a break from camp and sneak out, we had invited Frank and Hazel to join us but they said that they were going to be leaving for Camp Jupiter at dinner and they wanted to get packed. I had just challenged Annabeth by saying that she couldn't beat me in a sword fight; little did she know this was all part of my plan to get her away from the group.
I looked to the group and saw Leo, Jason and Nico smirking at me. They were the only ones that knew about my plan for Annabeth, but I had sworn them to secrecy because I wanted it to be a surprise.
Taking my bait, Annabeth jumped up and pulled her dagger out of its sheath and started walking toward me. I dumped the water ball on her and started running as fast as I could to the tree I had prepared. After getting over the shock of getting a ball of water thrown at her face, Annabeth started running after me. "PERSEUS JACKSON! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" I heard Annabeth yell at me whilst she started sprinting after me.
I had made it to the trees and I started running quicker, knowing that she was pretty much right behind me. I saw the tree up ahead and came to a stop; I turned and looked at Annabeth just in time to see her enter the clearing. She had a murderous look on her face but when she saw the tree covered in fairy lights and the special picnic I set up and stopped running and looked around in awe. "You did this? Why? And just because this looks amazing it doesn't mean I'm going to forgive you for dumping all that water on me." Annabeth asked puzzled and walked closer to me.
I smirked and replied, "I wanted today to be special. Sorry about the water but I wanted to get you away from the group." I said as I dried her off and took a seat on the picnic blanket. She followed me, still clearly confused but she sat down next to me.
I smiled and fiddled with the box in my pocket, 'now or never' I thought to myself and I sat up into a kneeling position and pulled the box out of my pocket. "Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?" I asked her nervously fiddling with the open box in my hands. I know what you guys are thinking, 'you're too young.' Or 'you're making a huge mistake.' But I knew that I wasn't. I loved Annabeth with all my heart and she meant everything to me. I have loved her ever since I first saw her and she told me I drooled in my sleep, when we were twelve years old.
"Yes Percy, I will!" Annabeth exclaimed as she leapt into my arms and kissed me.
Leo's POV:
Soon after Annabeth had ran away chasing Percy, a group of people showed up and started walking towards us. I scanned over the group and saw Tony Stark A.K.A Iron Man. I realised that the people he was with must be the avengers, we had heard stories about the battle they had whilst we were in Greece trying to stop Gaea.
I wondered what they were doing here, I mean it can't be a coincidence that on the same day we come to Central park, they show up and start walking towards us. As I was thinking all of this through I saw that they had stopped right in front of our picnic blanket, I saw Jason and Nico shift uncomfortably both with their hands edging towards their swords. The guy in front started speaking. "Hello young demigods, I am Thor son of Odin and god of lightning. This is Tony Stark or Man of Iron as you probably know him as, Natasha Romanoff or Black Widow. Clint Barton or Hawkeye and Steve Rogers or Captain America." He said as he pointed to the correct people for the corresponding names.
I wondered what was with the way he spoke; I mean who says Man od Iron for Iron Man? I decided to push that thought aside and started to think about how he knew we were here and who we were. "I'm Jason Grace, son of Jupiter. This is Piper Mclean daughter of Aphrodite, Nico Di Angelo son od Hades and Leo Valdez son of Hephaestus." Jason introduced all of us. I shot him a sideways glance, thing about whether that was a smart idea or not. Piper seemed to show my concern because she too looked at Jason worriedly. Nico however was looking in the opposite direction, to where Percy and Annabeth were.
"It is nice to meet you; I have heard many stories about you and your fellow demigods. One story in particular of Perseus Jackson, we came here today looking for him. Have you any idea where he might be?" Thor asked making me confused. There were stories about us? This guy made them seem like they were fairy tales, or bed time stories. I wondered where he came from. He said he was god of lightning but something about him didn't feel Greek. I had the same feeling when I was around the gods with their Roman personalities.
"Ahhh… We don't know where they are exactly we just know they are by some old looking tree in that direction." Jason said and pointed in the correct direction.
"Thank you, son of Jupiter. It has been nice meeting you, but our business is with Perseus." As Thor said this he waved and started walking in the direction Jason pointed. Apparently 'this business' was something the others didn't know about because I saw a flash of curiosity on Tony's face. I shrugged this off and continued eating my salami sandwich and watched them walk off into the distance.
AN: Hey guys, I just started this so I hope you enjoy it! I will try to update as often as possible but I am also working on another story called Wizards and Demigods Unite, so check it out! It's a crossover of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson if you hadn't realised. Anyway, thanks a ton for reading and please vote, comment and follow!
Lots of Love
