CHAPTER TWO: I FORGOT THE CHAPTER TITLE...


"YOU KNOW, Loki's really not that bad", Tony said. "If you get to know him a little, he's actually quite fun. Oh, and if you get over the fact he wanted to conquer the world and threw me out of a window..." He drifted off.

"He took over my mind, Stark! That's much worse than being thrown out of a window", Clint argued.

"But it was my window!", Tony answered him sulkily.

The Avengers were sitting in Tony's living room and relaxing from their work, the work being babysitting one mischief god banished to earth, when suddenly another voice spoke up.

"As entertaining it is watching you banter and I hate to break it up, there are some things I'd like to show you. And Stark, I don't want our special guest running around alone, so don't get any ideas regarding his custody." Director Fury, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, strode into the room.

"Hey Nicky! Nice to see you too!", Tony greeted him. "We didn't see you coming!", he said in a mock-surprised way.

"Shut it, Stark. Why is nobody of you ever surprised about my sudden entrances?", Fury complained.

Tony smirked. "Let's just say, I know someone who knows someone who knows someone."

"What he's trying to say", Natasha informed him, "is: JARVIS told us you're here. Besides, you called me half an hour ago telling me I shouldn't kill anyone. I figured you'd show up sooner or later."


"Percy was kidnapped again." Annabeth stormed into the war council room where the cabin leaders were seated around the ping-pong table and discussing strategies for defending the camp.

Instantly, everyone stopped talking and turned.

"What do you mean, kidnapped?", Rachel asked.

"And I thought you were still in California. You look like crap, by the way.", Leo chimed in. Annabeth shot him a look and he shut wisely up, because Leo Awesome Valdez (pretty sure his middle name's Awesome) knows what's good for him.

"I had a dream", Annabeth said. Everybody groaned. "It were some suspicious black clad guys. The stereotypical ones, no brains and all brawn. Percy was distracted looking at some buildings and didn't notice them coming. He was surprised and quickly overpowered. They packed him into a black van and drove away. When I woke up, I canceled my appointments and got here immediately. So yes, Leo, I'm aware I do look like crap. I think it is justified considering I had a nightmare and then didn't sleep for 24 hours straight."

When Annabeth finished, Will from the Apollo cabin stood up. "You're going to sleep now. Doctor's orders. If we want to get Percy back, we'll need you, but if you're sleep deprived, you won't be able to help."

"If you don't wait up on me, you will be sorry. Wake me if I don't show up for dinner." Annabeth turned and strode out.

"Percy's gone again? Well shit.", was Leo's only comment.


Sorry for the long wait. I'll try to update this story faster, but don't get your hopes up, I probably won't. Umm... Sorry?
