Here's Chapter 2: DEMO To All
Please go check out my other stories. Annabeth Jackson is my best book. The 11 are from that book, and Percabeth aren't married yet in this story. I will be updating this book about every day to two days. 4 days max, but I am on a plane to Manhattan (YAY) in a couple of days. Updates will be a lot slower. ENJOY
Percy POV
"Wise Girl!" I groan.
"What?" She yells over the wind.
"Why me?"
"Because. I will ground you from kisses and blue cookies." She says firmly. Yikes, she means business.
"Okay. Hey, Bro!" I scream over the wind.
"BRO?" Jason yells back.
"Bro. Place a wind barrier over the roof!"
"You got it Bro." Jason replies, and all of a sudden, we can hear each other.
"Okay. I am the son of Poseidon, Greek God of the ocean, earthquakes, hurricanes, horses, and aquatic life." I say, and gather up the gallon of water into a bow and arrow. I pull back the "string" and launch a water arrow at Clint. It splashes all over him. I then pick up the water and place it back into the jug.
"NEXT!" I yell. "Annabeth, your turn!" I tell her.
"Okay. I am the daughter of Athena. Greek Goddess of crafts, warfare, and wisdom. I do not have any physical powers, but I can fight like there's no tomorrow, cuz there might not be, and I am super smart. Perce! Get over here! Spar with me!" Annabeth yells at me.
"Fine." I say as I take out Riptide.
"A pen?" I hear Natasha ask.
I then uncap it, and I launch into battle with Wise Girl. We are lazily dancing with swords, since I have known her since we were 12. Eventually, she throws Riptide away and judo-flips me. She puts her knee on my chest and leans down with her dagger.
"Hey! No killing!" Natasha says, but that is the least of my worries. I look into Wise Girl's eyes, and I raise my head to kiss her, and she kisses back. Her dagger clanks against the concrete roof, and I put my hands in her blond curls.
"PDA!" I hear Leo scream, and then we get up.
"If you haven't noticed, Percy is my boyfriend." She says, leaving a red mark on Natasha and Clint's faces. Tony has that 'CALLED IT' look on his face.
JASON POV
"I am the son of the Roman god Jupiter, King of Olympus, god of the sky, storms, and wind."
It's my turn. I tell everyone to back up, and I raise my hand into the air. I can smell the sweet smell of rain before a lightning strike, and I tell everyone to close their eyes just as the lightning hit the spot. There was no evidence of me faking it, since everyone's hair was sticking up.
"Oh yeah, and I can do this." I say as I rise a couple feet off the ground. I then use the wind to style everyone's hair. I go stand by my beautiful girlfriend, and tell her that she goes next.
PIPER POV
I give a quick kiss on Jason's cheek, then step in front of the agents.
"My mother is Aphrodite, Greek Goddess of Doves, Love, and Lettuce. Yes, Lettuce." I say, trying to see how strong their will power was.
"My power is charmspeak. I can make almost everyone do what ever I say."
"Can you give us a demonstration?" Tony says, obviously eager to see.
"Sure. Percy, go jump in the lake. Frank, your next. Go catch him" I say, walking back to Jason's side.
FRANK POV
I watch as Percy flings himself over the edge of the roof, right into the lake. Natasha and Clint run to the side, wondering how he survived, and Tony goes and gets his suit.
"Hey, stop right there. I'll get him." I say, towering over Tony.
I turn into an eagle, and I fly down to the lake, and snatch Percy out of the water. From underneath me, I hear curses streaming out of the mouth of Percy. I land on the roof, and I introduce my self.
"My father is the Roman God Mars, god of war."
HAZEL POV
It's my turn. I am very confused at everything, since the biggest invention back in my day was the train.
"My father is the Roman God Pluto, god of wealth." I say as I raise my hand. The necklace comes flying to me, and I catch it.
"I am blessed by Lady Hecate, goddess of magic." I add on, bending the Mist to my will. We are now standing in my father's throne room. I drop the magic, and I gesture to Leo to go next.
LEO POV
Oh yea! I get to show them how SUPA SIZED LEO MCSHIZZLE DOES THINGS!
"I am Supa Sized Leo McShizzle, Bad Bo-" I get cut off.
"GET ON WITH IT!" Ma boy, Jason, yells at me.
"Fine. My father is the Greek God Hephaestus, God of fire, forges, and volcanoes."
I grab a thing of gasoline from my tool belt, and I douse my hair. The taste is horrible! I light my self on fire, and I start to shoot fireballs at the 11. Percy raises a water shield, and all of my fireballs are gone.
"DUDE!" I yell at him.
"What? Don't kill us." Percy replies.
"Can I have the pipecleaners and rubber bands?" I ask Natasha, and she nods. I get them, then my brain goes onto autopiolt mode. I quickly craft a fuctioning helicopter, and then I launch it. It does pretty well considering it was a rush job.
CALYPSO POV
"I am Calypso Kipouros. I am not a demigod, but I am a nymph, daughter of Atlas, Titan that keeps all of us alive. He holds the sky." I say.
I sing a couple verses of a Greek lullaby, and the vines start to wind in the direction of the agents. I stop, and they retreat.
"Since I am a nymph, I can perform nature magic."
WILL POV *faint from solangelo*
"I am the son of the Greek God Apollo, god of the sun, medicine, the performing arts, archery, and a lot of other things." I say, and then I take out a dagger.
"Neeks, come here." I look at Nico. "This won't hurt, okay?"
"Fine Sunshine." He replies.
I lightly press the dagger, until the skin breaks just enough to bleed. Nico doesn't even flinch.
I then place my hand on his arm, and I start to glow. I lift my hand, and the cut is healed.
"Do you have any scars you don't want? Because I can get rid of scars." I ask the agents.
Natasha then lifts her hair to reveal a mark. It looks like someone branded her with the look of a spider bite.
"Does a burn work? I want to see how this works." She says in a mellow tone.
"Sure." I walk over to her, and I place my hand on her burn. I glow again, and then I lift my hand. Her burn is gone.
"How? I got that burn over 20 years ago." She says with true wonder in her voice.
"I am the best healer from where we come from. Neeks, you're up." I tell her, then Nico.
NICO POV
"I am the son of the Greek God Hades, the god of death and the underworld." I say with a tone that says that I hate doing this.
I raise my hands, and then Will walks over to me, and whispers, "No extreme stuff Sunshine."
"Seriously? Will. What can I do then? Hold on a sec." I say as I shadow travel us to the corner of the roof.
"Sunshine, don't do anything bigger than a couple bones. If you do a full on skeleton, you WILL pass out." Will whispers to me. "Doctor's orders."
"Fine doc." I reluctantly say. I shadow travel us back to the group, and I raise a couple bones from the ground. They fly up to the roof, and then I drop them and sit down. Will comes over to me, checks the fatigue levels, then calls Reyna over.
REYNA POV
Will calls me over, and I introduce myself to the agents.
"I am the daughter of the Roman Goddess Bellona, goddess of war," I say. "I can share strength with people by taking some of their burdens."
I squeeze Nico's arm, and he wakes up a bit more. I turn a couple shades paler, and look at Nico to see if he is ready for me to stop. He nods, and I let go.
PERCY POV
"You happy? Because I want to meet the rest of you. We have shown you our abilities, so it's your turn." I say, stepping forward.
"Very well. Follow us to the training room." Natasha says as she motions for Tony to take the supplies downstairs.
We walk downstairs, and to the elevator. Finally! I was getting tired of walking around like we were prisoners.
"FRIDAY, can you call everyone to the training room?" Tony asks no one in particular.
A voice from the elevator then answers, "Yes Sir."
"Thanks." Tony says like it was nothing.
"DUDE! What was that?! I need one of those!" Leo asks Tony, and then they start to talk about their inventions.
We reach the training room, where about 10 people are standing.
"Meet the team. We have Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Bruce Banner, Wanda Maximoff, Pietro Maximoff, Vision, Nick Fury, Loki Laufeyson, and Thor Odinson." Natasha says, pointing to each person.
"Wait. Thor Odinson? Like as in, THE Thor Odinson?" Annabeth questions.
"Yes. He is the Norse go-" Natasha starts.
"Yeah yeah, I know. But still, I thought Greek gods were in control of New York!" Annabeth interrupts her.
"Okay. So, everyone introduce themselves and your powers/abilities." Natasha says as she claps her hands in a we-are-done-here way.
Dorito man steps up and says, "I am Steve Rogers, AKA Captian America. I have super strength, speed, and stamina. I fight with this shield." He says, and then he raises the shield with a patriotic design on it.
The dude with the metal arm steps up and says, "I am Bucky Barnes, also known as the Winter Soldier. I have the same abilities as Steve. I fight with this arm, and I can also use Cap's shield."
Next is Natasha, "You know me, but I am known as Black Widow. I fight with hand-to-hand combat, guns, and these electric cuffs." She points to the almost invisible cuffs on her arms.
Clint is next. "I am known as Hawkeye, and I am extremely skilled with a bow and arrow."
Next is Tony Stark, and he is almost as bad as Leo. "I am Tony Stark, genius, billionaire, and playboy philanthropist. I made this suit, and I can fly with this." He says as he points to a mannequin on the wall.
Red head and blonde boy are up next. "I am Wanda Maximoff, and this is my twin brother, Pietro Maximoff. I am telekinetic and telepathic. He can run at speeds faster than a bullet." She says with a very heavy Russian accent.
The African guy steps up and introduces himself as Sam Wilson. "I am known as the Falcon, and I can fly using a jetpack thing. I am also trained as a soldier." [never lost his legs]
The guy in the hoodie steps up, "I am Bruce Banner. I am also the Hulk, which is a failed attempt at replicating the Super Soldier Serum that gave Steve and Bucky their powers. It turned into a thing that will save my life, no matter what the cost is. So, please, don't get me mad."
The guy in red and gold floats to us. Yes. FLOATS. "I am Vision. I am a mixture of the AI system that FRIDAY now replaces, and an evil AI. JARVIS is my old name, and he controls me more than the evil side. I can change the density of my body, making it so that I am cababli of flight. This stone in my head gives me life, and also can shoot beams of interdimensional energy as a weapon."
Next is Thor and Loki. "I am Thor, and this is my brother, Loki. We are the sons of Frigga, I am the son of Odin, and Loki is the son of Laufey. We are capable of many things that you mortals cannot understand in one day."
'Huh, try me. And don't call us mortals." I say.
"Okay, I can control the weather and more. Loki can create illusions far more real than reality itself." Thor answers.
"Jason can control the wind and lightning, and Hazel can create illusions too." I say, then recieve a nudge from Annabeth to stop talking.
Finally, the pirate man steps forward. "I am Director Nick Fury of the Strategic Homeland Interventions, Enforcement, and Logistics Division. I am skilled with a gun. Don't comment on the name."
"Okay. So, can we see your abilities?" Leo asks excitedly.
"Maybe tomorrow. We have deemed you people trustworthy. We put lie ddetecotrs on you when you were knocked out. You passed." Natasha answers. "How do you want sleeping arrangments done?"
"Um, well. Me and Annabeth, since we both have nightmares. Um, Jason and Piper, Leo and Calypso, Frank and Hazel, Nico and Will, and Reyna by herself." I answer.
"Oh, okay. Um, I will ask Pepper about the arrangments." Tony says.
"Thanks. So, dinner anyone?" Annabeth says, stealing my line.
"Sure." Clint says.
We all head upstairs to see an amazing kitchen.
"Yasss! McShizzle gonna make some tacos! Calypso, would you like to sing?" Leo jumps up and down.
"Valdez, I love you, but no.
Here's Chapter 3: POWWWWWEEEERRRRR!
Since I am basically doing an extension book, the eagles from my first book are included here.
PERCY POV (Very common, along with Annabeth)
"Dam these are good!" I tell Annabeth. She laughs at that.
"Wipe your mouth Seaweed Brain." I say as she reaches to wipe it for me. I block her hand, and kiss her on the cheek.
"PDA PDA PDA PDA!" I hear a certain son of Hephaestus screams.
I stick my tongue out at him, and say, "Shut the Hades up! This is my girlfriend. Don't act like you don't do that with Calypso too."
Leo turns red, and Nico yells, "Don't use Dad's name like that!"
I look at the Avengers (who are they avenging?) and they look so lost.
"Yeah, um. Sorry. We speak in Ancient Greek a lot, since, you know. Our parentage." I tell them as I return to English.
"Oh, that's fine. I bet we could hook up some translators to FRIDAY." Tony offers.
"No thanks, we argue a lot in Greek, and you would crawl up into a ball and cover your ears sometimes. We also have private conversations in Greek." I tell them. "Could we possibly have Greek/Latin translations for signs and books, though?"
"Let me guess, dyslexia." Bruce sums up.
"Yep." Annabeth says.
"Well, your rooms are ready. I can show you to your rooms. You are all on different floors, except for Mr. di Angelo, Mr. Solace, and Ms. Arellano." Pepper says. "Steve, show Mr. Grace and Ms. McClean to room 1406. Tony, show Mr. Zhang and Ms. Levesque to room 1902. Clint, please show Mr. Valdez and Ms. Kipouros to room 2607. Bruce, please show Mr. Solace and Mr. di Angelo to room 3002, and Ms. Arellano to room 3006. Mr. Jackson and Ms. Chase will come with me. The people taking you will be nearest to your rooms, in case you need anything, except for me and Tony. Tony will be on the top floor, and I live on the 19th floor. FRIDAY is always available, and can be used to gather everyone." Pepper tells us.
"Oh, please. Call us by our first names." Jason says as he follows Steve.
"Percy, Annabeth, you will be in room 4506, the top floor. You will be nearest to Tony. Come on." Pepper motions us to follow her. After the fast elevator, not as fast as the Empire State Building, we walked about 6 doors to the left.
"Here is your room, the bathroom is fully stocked, and so are the closets. Don't bother with the bed sheets, I live with more than 10 boys. It doesn't ever get done." She tells us as we enter.
"Thank you, Pepper? Was it?" Annabeth asks.
"Yes. Good night."
"So. DIBS ON RIGHT SIDE!" I yell, and then promptly face plant in bed. We end up sleeping in our camp clothes from the day before, and we fall asleep.
*NIGHTMARE*
No. . . . . . . . . .No. I can't be here. NO! I am falling with the smell of sulfur, but no lemon scent.
"ANNABETH!" I scream, but my voice is carried away by the rush of the wind.
"Oh, little one. Your little friend has found herself in a tough situation!" I hear the Pit grumble.
As I am falling, I see a mess of blonde curls stuck on a rock. Annabeth is being held up by her hair.
"PERCY!" I hear her shriek. I am already too far. I see Bianca, Luke, Zoe, and so many more all on my way down. This is a never-ending list of people who have died.
*NIGHTMARE OVER*
I bolt up in bed, to see my Wise Girl writhing in bed screaming her head off. I then hear pounding on the door.
"PIPER! COME HERE! HELP!" I scream as I shake Annabeth.
The door bursts open, and everyone tumbles in our room. The Avengers and the rest of the 11. Piper runs up to me, and puts all of her power into her words, "WAKE UP ANNABETH!"
Annabeth's eyes fly open, search around the room, then land on me. The tears start to flow, and I wrap her in my arms.
"Okay people, shows over. Go back to bed." Piper ushers everyone out of our room. Everyone shuffles out of the room, leaving me and Annabeth with our nightmare.
"Wise Girl, It's okay. I got you." I mumble as Annabeth moves to be completly covered by my arms.
"I saw you kill her again." She sobs, and I know exactly what she dreamt of. I hated myself every minute for doing that to Annabeth.
"Shhhh. I would never do that ever again. I hate myself every minute for that." I mutter as I rub circle on her back.
She whimpers a bit, then her breathing slows. She fell asleep. I lay down with her, and I go back to sleep.
About two hours later, I wake up to the sound of knocking.
"Who is it?" I whisper-yell, trying not to wake Annabeth up after a hard night.
"Bro! It's your bro!" I hear Jason yell through the door. I open it, and I see everyone.
"Guys, can we get ready in peace? Nico, Pipes, please explain. We will make the waffles for breakfast." I tell them as I shut the door.
TONY POV
What was that about? First, I wake up to screaming, then the demigods just walk away like it was normal! Also, Vision is a great cook. Why should we let him cook?
"So. Um, they have PTSD. Basically, that's it." Nico says. All of us start asking questions, then Piper yells, "HOLD ON! One person at a time!"
"Where did they get it from?" I ask first.
"That's for them to tell. We all have some form of PTSD, but me, Percy, and Annabeth have it the worst." Nico answers.
"Is there any way to help them?" Bruce asks.
"No. There is no way, except to never separate them and to leave them alone when they black out or have a flashback. Percy blacks out, Annabeth has the flashbacks. Percy will appear dead, but he isn't. The sign is that he mumbles things. Annabeth will look like she is having a seizure, but if you hear the words... I can't Piper, can you tell them?" Nico says, then looks like he is about to cry. He walks over to Will and hugs him.
"If you hear the words: Tartarus, Bob, Damasen, Achlys, or Arachne, that is Annabeth having a flashback. DO NOT attempt to treat her like a seizure patient. Do not touch her, or that will increase the intensity of it. FRIDAY can detect stress levels, right?" Piper takes over.
"Yes. She can." I answer.
"Good. If her stress levels are above 100, get me immediately. Nico, if he has cold sweats, the room instantly cools, or the shadows darken, get Will." Piper finishes.
"Okay, and may I say, I am the best cook here. How can Percy beat me?" Clint says jokingly.
"Oh, you will die and go to Elysium if you eat his blue waffles. Don't ask." Jason says proudly.
Okay, so, major PTSD, and an awesome cook. Cool.
ANNABETH POV
We get out of bed, and head to the dining area. Everyone is sitting there with food, and they welcome us. I bring Percy to the kitchen to make the blue waffles.
"Aww. Wise Girl, can't I eat something first?" Percy gives me his baby seal eyes.
"Sorry Percy, you have to stir in the blue food coloring." I say teasingly.
"Fine." Percy grumbles. We finish the waffles in a matter of minutes and bring them out to the table.
"Wow. You weren't kidding kid when you said 'Blue Waffles'." Tony says with a chuckle.
"Yup, now try some! It is amazing!" Percy responds.
We dig in and plan our day. We will be seeing the Avengers train and see their powers.
We head outside to Central Park, and we go jogging. Everyone goes jogging, even Calypso. Me and Percy are the fastest of the 11, while Calypso and Will are the slowest.
"ON YOUR LEFT!" I hear Steve and Bucky yell.
"What the hell dude! JUST LET ME PASS YOU FOR ONCE!" Sam screams at him.
"Perce, wanna show them what we got?" I whisper to Percy.
"Sure. When he comes back around, kick it." Percy replies with a smirk.
"ON YOUR LEFT!" I hear them say it, almost instantly. We speed up, and he doesn't pass us. We go a lap, and then, "ON YOUR LEFT!" "ON YOUR RIGHT!" Me and Percy scream at him.
"CAP! YOU JUST GOT BEAT BY TWO FREAKING TEENAGERS!" Sam yells as he laughs at his face. We do 5 more laps, and then we sit. Everyone is already sitting down, and everyone is tired.
"I'm not sure if I can walk back to the tower." Tony says between pants.
"Okay." I simply say. "Demis! call your rides! Percy, call both."
Matia, Nemo, Gemma, Hannibal, Bolt, Fietro, Flame, Kipos, Kitrina, Mavros, and Viribus come spiraling to the ground.
"HEY! DON'T SHOOT!" I yell at the Avengers, who have their weapons out.
They land, and everyone rushes to greet them. Not a moment after that, Blackjack, Guido, Porkpie, and another Pegasus join them.
"Okay everyone! Here are your rides. Natasha is with me, Loki with Percy, Thor with Jason, Tony with Leo, the twins with Piper, Vision can fly, Sam with Nico, Bucky and Steve are with Frank, and then the rest can choose a pegasus or to fly with Nico, Reyna, or Will." I instruct.
We head back, and everyone is rested enough to continue. We do sparring next. Steve and Bucky are great at hand to hand combat. Natasha, Bucky, Clint, and Nick are best at shooting. Tony is good with his suit, Bruce can't participate, Vision can blast targets, and Thor/Loki fight with thier Asgardian weapons. We show them what we can do. I whip out my dagger, and Percy gets out Riptide. We circle each other like hawks, and then he attacks. I parry his blade, and strike his stomach. He jumps back, and sweeps his leg under me. I do a backflip just as he swings his leg. It goes on like this until manage to chop his arm with my hand, and his grip weakens. I take that chance to disarm him, and then I pull a Black Widow, and slam him to the ground. I straddle him, then place my dagger on his neck. He moves the dagger, and kisses me. Then, we flip over, and my dagger is in his hand, against my neck.
"Good game Seaweed Brain." I tell him.
"Good game Wise Girl." He answers.
"Okay! Break it up! We have had enough PDA for one day!" Leo shouts at us.
"QUIET VALDEZ!" I yell back, and he does. I help Percy up, and motion for the next group to go. Everyone goes with their significant other, except Nico, Will, and Reyna. Will does archery, while Nico and Reyna spar.
"And there you have it. Our fighting abilities. We can also use our special abilities in a battle." I sum up our training session.
"Cool. So, um. Percy, Annabeth, can we talk to you?" I hear Tony and Steve ask.
"Okay?" I say skeptically. We are brought into the living room a couple rooms down the hall.
"Okay, so. We heard about your PTSD problems, and we were going to offer to help. By talking about it, it can-" Steve starts.
"NO. YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WENT THROUGH. TALKING MAKES IT WORSE. I got thrown into a black out after ziplining. ZIPLINGING. Never say that you can help. You can't." Percy spats, obviously upset that they even brought this up.
"Percy, Annabeth. We have both been in wars. I have been in 3. WW1 and 2, and then the most recent chitauri invasion." Steve starts again.
"We have been through EIGHT profecies! TWO WARS INCLUDING GIANTS, GODS, AND MONSTERS. MORE THAN 60% OF OUR CLOSE FRIENDS DIED. WE HAVENT EVEN REACHED THE DRINKING AGE! SO SHUT. YOUR. MOUTH. You will NEVER understand this." Percy snaps, then his eyes dialate.
"Oh gods, no. Percy! Stay with me. LEAVE!" I scream at Tony and Steve.
I take out his card, and help him lay down before he passes out. Right before he blacks out, he mumbles, "Stay."
"Of course Percy." I answer.
His eyes go glossy, and his body goes slack. He is immersed in the Pit now. I can't believe what those people did! Just because they are adults doesnt mean that they know everything! I mean, Steve is only 4 years older than Nico! I fix Percy's card, and then sit down with his head in my lap. His card reads, 'I am in the middle of a black out. I have PTSD, so please don't move me. If there is a young blonde with me having a seizure, read her card. Just carry on with your day.'
I sit there for 5 minutes, listening to my Seaweed Brain mumble about the Pit. Then, the 11 burst into the room, and ask where I have been, then see the card.
"Yes. Tony and Steve have sent him into a blackout. It has been going on for about 5 minutes now." I say bitterly.
"Oh, they are going to get it!" Jason says as he storms out.
"Is there anything I can get you Annabeth?" I hear Will's calm voice ask.
"Can I have some water?" I request.
"Of course. Come on guys, leave them be." Will says as he goes and gets some water. I hear some yelling, and the crash of a chair. I don't care. I just want Percy to snap out of it.
After about 10 more minutes, he breathes in sharply, and turns to face me. His eyes have a murderous glean in them.
"Don't bother. Jason has taken care of them." I tell him, and then his eyes soften a bit.
"Tell my Bro thanks." Percy mutters. I take out my phone, and send them the 'sleep emoji'. That means we are going to our room to cool down.
"FRIDAY, can you keep Tony and Steve out of our rooms from now on? All of our rooms, unless we give them permission?" I ask the AI as we get on the elevator.
"Of course, Ms. Chase." FRIDAY replies.
We reach our room, and snuggle under the covers.
Sorry about all that problem with chapter two, I couldn't figure it out. I'm going to be uploading all of my other stories probably soon, so sorry for the wait and I am just stunned at how many reads this story has. 1,999!
