Legacy of Mischief
Authors note: Hello again everyone. Wow, two chapters in one go. That's different for me, I know, but I really wanted these chapters out. I hope you're all enjoying my story so far. This is one of the toughest I've ever had to right in my life. I apologize in advance for any misspellings or anything else that might not look right.

Summary: It has been a year since the war with Gaea and her sons, and Perci has been keeping a secret from her friends. She is a demigod, true, but she is also a legacy of a god that is not even Greek or Roman, but a Norse god. When the Avengers arrive to try to find Loki's descendnet, trust is broken and truths are revealed. Why did Perci keep it secret? All will be revealed in time. Set after the Heroes of Olympus and The Avengers movie.
Without further ado, here is chapter 2 of Legacy of Mischief.
Chapter 2~
Perci sighed, sitting at the Poseidon table. The Avengers had questioned quite a few campers and satyrs, but none knew who they were looking for. Not long after they had started searching, the Hunters came to camp, saying that Lady Artemis had been needed for something on Mt. Olympus. That led to a competition between the hunters and the Apollo cabin in archery.
'Jason's lucky that he has a sister,' she thought as she watched the two interact. Thalia had been the only one out of the hunters to join a different table, though it was the table of her father so it was understandable. The newer hunters looked at her worried, but they were told quietly about the sibling's bond and they left it alone.
"Everything okay, little demigod?" a voice asked.
Perci jumped, turning her head. Behind her was Thor, raising an eyebrow at her reaction. Perci took a breath, trying to calm down her heartbeat.
"I'm fine," she replied. "I'm just thinking."
"May I join you? You look a bit lonely sitting alone," he said.
Perci nodded, doing her best to keep her marks from the Roman camp hidden. "Go ahead. I don't think that dad would mind. It's not like I have any siblings to complain about it."
Thor nodded, taking a seat. He and the other Avengers had wondered why at first the first and third cabins were mostly empty, since they used to be really full, until Chiron had told them about the pact made after World War 2. At that, they understood, especially Thor, since Asgardians took oaths seriously.
"It is not usually one's lot to sit alone, not among friends," he said.
Perci nodded. "I usually do, sir, but here in the mess hall we have to sit at the table that represents our parent's cabin. The Hermes table use to be overflowing, but after the war, more tables were added as well as more kids getting claimed," she explained.

Clint and Tony watched as the god and demigod interacted. "You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say the two were related," Tony said.
"It is possible, though doubtful. From what I've heard, the looks from the godly side of the family doesn't always stay as the blood gets thinned. Thor just might be talking to her as she looks like she might be a legacy of Loki, though from what Chiron said, she takes after her father." Clint sighed, eyes glancing around the mess hall. "It certainly is different, here," he said.
Tony nodded. "Do you think we'll find the kid we're looking for?"
"I can't really say whether or not we will find them. But I do have the feeling that one of the groups will, though," Clint answered.
"You think it could be a child of the messenger guy?" Tony asked.
Clint snorted. "I don't think so. They're more like pranksters and thieves than what Loki does, though I doubt that they wouldn't help him with a prank or two."
Tony snorted. "Help us all if the two meet each other," he said.

"Alright, Jason, spill it. What are you and Perci keeping hidden from everyone?" Thalia said as the two siblings sat next to each other at Zeus' table.
"What makes you think we're hiding something?" Jason asked, worried.
"The fact that Annabeth told me what happened at the counselor meeting and how you two reacted. You guys are hiding something, and if you're not careful, others will figure it out," Thalia answered. She narrowed her eyes at her baby brother as she waited for his response.
"It's not my secret to tell. If you want to know, Perci would have to say that it's okay," Jason finally said. "Besides, I've known her for a few years and I don't want to betray her trust."
"What do you mean you've known her for a few years? From the impression I've gotten from the others, you two just met last June at Camp Jupiter," Thalia remarked.
Jason gulped. "Um, she'd gone there at one point before coming here?" he said, nervous. He really didn't want to tell her too much, or the others would find out.
Thalia groaned at that. She knew that Jason knew more than he was saying, though it was commendable that he was keeping it. "You made a promise, didn't you?" she finally asked.
"Most of Camp Jupiter did," Jason said before slapping a hand over his mouth. He did not mean to say that. He just knew that Perci was going to find out what he said.
"So the Roman camp is in on it too?" Thalia asked, raising an eyebrow.
Jason shook his head, trying to dissuade her from asking anymore. He really didn't want Perci's secret to get out.
'Interesting,' Thalia thought. 'He definitely knows more than he's saying, but he's keeping it secret for Perci. I wonder what it is.' She looked at Thor. 'I wonder if it has anything to do with the Norse gods.'

As Perci and Thor chatted, Perci felt eyes boring into her. Turning, she saw Thalia looking at them with a contemplative look on her face and Jason looking panicked. That told her that he had accidently let something out that he didn't mean too. She groaned, rubbing her eyes. This was turning into more of a mess than she thought.
"You okay?" Thor asked, worried that something was the matter.
"It's nothing, Lord Thor. I just have some things on my mind." She stood along with the other campers as they headed for the atrium. "Are you going to join us for the sing-a-long?" she asked.
Thor nodded. "Neither me nor my companions can carry a tune, but I think that we all would feel better with some music," Thor said as he followed the girl.
"That's good. Music always calmed me down when I was younger and I couldn't be near a water source," Perci said as they followed the crowd.
"Oh?"
Perci nodded. "It was always soothing, making it easier for me to keep my emotions in check, not that it helped me to not get expelled from school after school. I honestly think I have the worst record here for that," she said ruefully.
Thor chuckled. "Back home, there was usually music of some kind playing, though it was the women playing the instruments. They always brought it to the main chambers when guests came over."
With that, the two began to discuss different types of music that they'd heard over the years. Unknown to Perci though, Clint had caught a glimpse of her arm and saw some of the markings.

Clint reclined in one of the empty chairs in the meeting room of the Big House after the campers were all sent to bed. Joining him were Mr. D, Chiron, Tony, and Thor.
"Some of the campers are hiding something," Tony said once they were all seated. "I could tell and I'm not usually one to be able to see it."
Clint nodded. "I know of at least two who are hiding something. Jason and Perci are keeping secrets. I've noticed them exchanging worried looks and they keep whispering about something. Not to mention that I think that Perci was at the Roman camp once before you guys said she was."
"What do you mean?" Chiron asked, looking at the archer.
"I saw a mark on her arm like what Jason has, even though her parent's symbol is different. There're four lines on there, instead of the one that you said would be. That and I saw a glimpse of a second, more faded mark. I couldn't make it out though," Clint explained.
"Why would they keep it secret though?" Thor asked. "Why don't they just tell us?"
"It may be that they don't really trust anyone with it. I noticed Thalia trying to get Jason to say something during dinner, but he was reluctant. That tells you something there," Chiron told them. He sighed.
"I highly doubt that the brats will tell you anything. I'd suggest asking the others if they found anything, or keeping an eye on James and Perry," Mr. D said.
"You mean Jason and Perci," Chiron amended.
"Yeah, whatever; either way, you most likely won't find out directly."
"That's for sure," a voice said. Turning, the four saw Drew standing behind them, glancing at her nails.
"What are you doing in here, Ms. Drew?" Chiron asked.
"I just thought I should tell you that you might want to keep an eye on the 'sea princess' and Jason," she said, scoffing at the word 'sea princess'. "They are hiding something, as I overheard them talking about it not long after the counselor's meeting earlier. If I remember right, they did say something about someone named Octavian being someone that might help."
"Thank you, Ms. Drew," Tony said.
Drew smirked. "No problem, all I want is to help you guys. After all, family is everything."
Thor bowed his head. "I'll contact the others and tell them the news," he said. "I thank you for your help, Chiron, Dionysus."
They nodded. "No problem at all," Chiron said.
With that, the group dispersed into smaller groups, with Drew heading for her cabin. A smirk was on her face as she thought of all the scenarios that would come out from what she had revealed.
Author's note: Whew! A new chapter is finally done. I hope this is like what you all wanted, as I worked hard on it. My brain was overloading, trying to figure out all the ideas that I could put in this chapter. And dang it, Drew somehow snuck back into the chapter. She really doesn't like to cooperate with me at the moment. Oh well, what's done is done. Ciao!
