STEVE POV
Authors Note : Hi guys! :) I updated some of the chapters cause I wasn't satisfied with them! Happy reading! Nothing belongs to me.
When Natasha called them, she didn't seem like herself, she sounded half tired, half annoyed and most confusingly, she sounded surprised. She didn't even explain the situation she was in, as if she didn't want to talk it over the phone. All she said was, "Get here now." She didn't even say why.
So when we went into the Quinjet and started flying towards the coordinates. I expected a small car crash, heck I even expected, there was some traffic and they couldn't get to Stark Tower and they needed transport. But what I didn't expect was silence. The usually buzzing streets of New York were silent.
Tony got up from his seat and started drinking alcohol from his cup, and he continued to look outside the window. As we got closer to the coordinates all I could see was dust. As the dust started to clear, I could hear the beeping alarm on some car. I hear Tony suck in his breath. The ground was littered with golden dust and dead robot bodies. Smoke came from a collapsed building. It looked like one side of the building was completely ripped off, a desk was dangling from the side and papers was floating through the hole. Debris scattered around the building. There was also a huge crate with smoke rising from it. I felt a pang in my heart. I hope they were alright.
"They're there!" Tony said,
I turn to look at where Tony was pointing.
At first, I couldn't see anything, but as the debris and dust started to part, I see tiny figures standing there.
I felt the Quinjet turn and start to land. dust once again starts to fly until all I could see outside the window is dust.
The back door started to open. Tony rushed outside.
"Oh my gosh! What happened?" Tony said, as he ran towards the teens.
"Some attack." Percy said, his brows furrowed, like he was in deep thinking. A slight frown on his lips. Attack? How are they not harmed!?
I looked at Thor, he had slight smile on his lips and a dreamy look. His hammer on the ground, already forgotten. He looked like he might faint.
Natasha wasn't far from that. She had a large gash on her hand, blood from the wound stained her shirt. Even though she was half unconscious, she was still able to keep a surprised look on her face. Which was really surprising since she was a spy and she was half unconscious.
"Come on. Lets take you back to Stark tower." Clint said, worry in his eyes.
"And get a check up." Bruce murmured, when he saw the state they were in. I looked at Leo. His shirt was ripped apart, and was drenched in blood, but there was no wound.
I narrowed my eyes, who were these kids. I looked at Clint to see what he thought but he was too busy worrying over Natasha.
Clint carried Natasha bridesmaid style back into the Quinjet.
When Percy saw the Quinjet, he paled immensely
"Nope," He said, "Not happening! I don't fly."
Clint turns around and he said, "It's safe, I promise."
He shook his head again and said. "Nope. Not going."
I stared at him. Then it occurred to me. "You are afraid of heights, aren't you?"
"No!" He defended. "Well, maybe a little. I mean, I can stand heights, just not flying."
Thor seems to finally snap out of his trance, and said, "Do not fret, young hero, I shall protect you in the skies."
hero? protect him? I'll ask him later
"Are you sure?" Annabeth asked,
"Of course, it is my honor to protect such brave souls." Thor replied,
"Plus, I'm here. There is no way he would zap me." Jason said,
Percy nodded, but he didn't seem to be that relieved.
PERCY JACKSON POV
There are no words for how much I detest planes.
I sighs and took a deep breath, and I walk into the Quinjet.
The interior proved that these people were not normal mortals, but Annabeth didn't seem to be worried neither did Leo. I pushed my hair back, maybe I should have watched the news more than I should have. Jason, Thalia and Reyna mirrored my confusion, at least I wasn't the only one. I made a mental note to ask Annabeth about it. I looked at Thor, He winked, at least it looked like a wink. After we killed the Hydra and the army of monster. I asked Thor how he knew about us.
Flashback Begins
I turned around to look at Natasha, her eyes were wide, she loosely held a phone in her arm. Blood soaked her arm, she didn't look so good. I went over and tried to help her, she suddenly gasps and faints in my arms. I look at Thor, I gently laid Natasha on the ground and walked over.
"I'm Percy Jackson, as you already know." I said holding out a hand. He shook it hard.
"Thor, Norse god of Thunder" He replied. "It is a pleasure the finally meet the mighty Perseus Jackson." We winced at his loud voice.
"How did you know about us?" Leo asked, chewing some Ambrosia,his wound already starting to heal.
"There are legends of your bravery on Asgard, you guys are quite popular in Asgard."
We blush slightly at that.
"You wouldn't tell them would you?" Hazel asked,
"Of course not! I have sworn an oath!" Thor replied, head high.
I was going to ask him about these people or the Avengers as they call themselves when we hear faint sound of engines, and through the dust we see the Quinjet
Flashback Ends
I close my eyes as the Steve goes over basic safety rules. I glare out the window. I am surprised Zeus hasn't sent down lightning by now, but supposes he will wait until I am in the air to make his move. I grip the armrest semi-automatically. I feel like I'm being irrational, but it is better to be safe than nothing.
When the plane starts moving, accelerating, gaining speed as the engines roar to life around me, I take a deep breath.
My breaths became shallow and I want to throw up as soon as they lift off of the ground and into the air.
The Quinjet rumbles and then it is almost silent as they gain altitude, the engines stopping their roars as the Quinjet begins to take a smooth ride.
After a while is when disaster decides to strike; well, at least for me. The plane shakes and Clint announce that we are going through turbulence and the plane shudders, groaning and moaning and grumbling, a deep sort of rumble I would've expected coming from a man's throat. I imagine the rumble of Zeus' laughter and decides that is what it sounds like.
I look at Thalia, Nico and Hazel. They weren't far off from me.
Thalia gives me weak smile when she saw me look at her, although she was extremely pale.
I tried to listen to Steve and Tony conversation to distract me.
"Tony, how much have you been drinking? You're practically a alcoholic! No! You are an alcoholic!" Steve said,
"I am not a alcoholic. I only drink two times a year, on my birthday and when it's not birthday." Tony replies,
"Tell that to me when you black out." Steve replies,
"Blacking out is just your brains way of clearing its memories browser history." He said, each word were slurred, His head already swaying side to side.
The turbulence begins again and forget about the conversation.
there's a warm hand clenched tightly around mine.
Annabeth is gripping my hand, her knuckles turning white and she squeezes my hand, in this way that is actually surprisingly comforting.
Tony raises his eyebrows and started making kissing faces, before Leo pinched him.
In short, this is kind of embarrassing.
Her hand gives me a squeeze every time the plane so much as lets out a growl
Eventually the rumbles cease and my first thought might've been to thank the gods, but instead It is to thank Annabeth.
I closed my eyes when the Quinjet rumbles and start to land, I sighed when the Quinjet stopped completely.
I looked outside of the window. If I wasn't so relieved to be on land then I would have been in awe of the building.
When the door opened, I was the first out of the Quinjet.
I tripped and fell to the ground, kissing it. Head still spining
Tony smirked, his eyes were still slightly glazed over, when he say me, "Did you fall?"
"No, I attacked it." I replied, smirking.
"Face forward?" He said, swaying slightly.
"I am very skilled." I replied with a smile on my face
I stood up thinking I have never liked the feel of the ground beneath me any more than I do now.
