Disclaimer (I forgot to do one on the first chapter. My bad.) I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or The Avengers. Subsequently, the characters are not mine either.
Once I was settled comfortably (or rather, uncomfortably as 'uncle Tony' was intruding in my personal space bubble) on the couch, my mom began to re-account the story of her's and Tony's grievous seperation.
"My parents and I were flying back from a press conference in England." She began, Tony interrupted, "I was sick and couldn't go." My mom rolled her eyes before continuing. "Anyways, at some point pre flight, the CEO to Stark industries sabotaged the plane. When we were about an hour from home, the plane crashed. Both my parents were killed, and I was never found, assumed dead."
I interrupted, " if he's your brother, why didn't you every try to regain touch with one another?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to know!" Tony interrupted, looking pointedly at my mom.
My mom shot him a glare. He flinched and I internally shuddered- my mom's death glares were something you didn't want to be on the receiving end of.
Sighing, she continued, "at that time, with my parents deaths so fresh in my mind, I felt Tony would blame me for living while they died. I was six then, and Tony and I had our fair share of fights, as most siblings do. Anyways, the years went by and I realized he probably would have been happy just to know someone in his family was still alive. Yet, I couldn't find the courage to face him. So I lived with our mother's sister and her husband-and adopted my uncle's last name; Jackson- until I was 18. Then I set out on my own. I stayed in touch for a while, as Rose raised me as her own daughter. However, she was diagnosed with cancer and passed away unexpectedly. As I was never truly close to my uncle, I cut all attachments there after whilst keeping his surname. A few years after that I met your father, and subsequently you were born. It wasn't until about a month ago that Tony found me."
Here Tony butted in. "I bet you are wondering how I accomplished that." I stared at him blankly. he went on. "As you apparently didn't know, I just so happen to be a billionaire and a genius and subsequently I have access to a wide variety of 'tools'. It turns out for a while you were quite the wanted criminal." I winced. I didn't need to be reminded.
He went on, " I didn't get to say it before, but I'm a big fan of how you blew up the Saint Luis Arch." My mom sent him an exasperated glance, which he returned with another of his cheeky grins. "Anyways, I became interested in you, and by default I learned of your mother's existence. I did a little digging before I came to the conclusion that hey! My little sister's not dead! And there you have it. Now want to go grab some donuts?" He finished, eyeing the empty box on the coffee table.
I shrugged uneasily. After all I've been through with the life of a demigod, I'm not the most trusting of sorts. "I don't-" my mom cut me off. "That's a great idea! It'll give you and Tony a chance to bond!" She stood up and eagerly shoved us out the door, obviously taking the chance to remove Tony from her presence. I wondered how long she had been putting up with him for before I had come home.
and end! i apologize for the whole sap-story that took up the majority of this chapter- even I admit it was a bit excessive. Anyway, if you feel so inclined, please leave a review! Till next time. :)
