Hera's Chosen

Venessa's POV

After Leo and Piper came back- Leo with a black eye and a few bruises, Piper with a slightly singed shirt- Annabeth dropped the huge question. "So what about the prophecy?" Every one was silent. Then Leo said, "We already guessed the third line. Will join with demigods, 9 old friends. The fourth, well-" "I hate to say this, but I have an idea." Percy interrupted. "Who?" "...Tartarus." "WHAT?!" "Well, the prophecy said To face the abyss that never ends, right? Tartarus doesn't end. It just goes on and on. You can walk forever and never find the end, just separate parts." You could hear a pin drop.

"So," Jason asked. "The first two?" "I know." Annabeth said. She looked at me. "Venessa, who is Luke really?"

Just like that, I was thrown into a flashback. Well, not really a flashback, more like a vision, a memory.

Me and Luke were at McDonald's, getting a happy meal, when a large man came over and shoved us down. When I yelled at him, he turned and glared at me. Luke immediately began to panic, poking me in the eye, screaming, "ahy ahy ahy!" I just forgot it, but there were different incounters.

Once, a small brown plane was flying low over head. Luke immediately began saying, "Hoe hoe hoe!" Again I forgot it.

There were so many more times this happened, and now I knew. It was time to tell someone. I trusted them, mostly.

I took a deep breath. "He... He's really my... Son." "Wait, what?" Hazel asked. "He's my son. And, I think I know where you're going with this, Annabeth, and you're right." "What? What is she thinking?" Frank asked. "Annabeth and I think that I am the mortal in the prophecy." "WHAT?!" Annabeth looked at me. "Just explain, slowly and simply to them." "Ok.

"There was an... Inncedent, after my family was... killed. I had Luke. He is my only family now. Also, I think he can see through this Mist stuff." They had explained that to me at the camp fire. "For instance, once at McDonald's, I think he saw a cyclops that was chacing a young man. He kept poking my eyes to make sure I had two. Then, he saw a pegasus. I thought it was a plane, but he kept saying horse. There were more times, I just can't recall them. He can see. He is the seeing child. And I know the Queen is worthwhile. She blessed me so that I could protect Luke. And I met

It all crashed down on me. Now I wasn't just responsible for Luke. Now I was one of the 10 people responsible for the whole world. I sank my head into my hands. I needed Luke. I formed a plan. I looked up into their knowing and pitifull faces, and smiled. "Who wants to meet the Avengers?"

Percy's POV

Oh no. Leo's face lit up. "YESYESYESYSEYESYESYES!" She smiled. "Annabeth? Percy?" "Sure." We said. "You guys?" "Yes!" They yelled. "When?" I asked. "How about in five days? That gives them time to get ready, settle things, and escape the press." "Cool."

"So who's your favorite?" She asked. "I like Bruce Banner. I'm a huge fan of the way he turns into a green rampaging monster." "Yeah, but he doesn't feel the same way."

Leo was next. "Iron Man! Yeah!" Venessa laughed. She actually laughed. "You are almost an exact replica of him personality wise." "I would want to talk to Iron Man or Banner." Annabeth said. "The Science Bros?" "Really? They call themselves Science Bros?" "Yeah."

"I want to talk to Black Widow. We aren't just pretty faces." Piper said. "She is pretty amazing." "I want to meet Clint Barton." "I knew you would pick him, Frank, but Iron Man is still better." "No way." "Way." "No" "Yes." "Boys!" "Yes, Piper."

"I want to talk to Thor." "Me too." "Captian America for us. We can talk to someone who understands 1930's talk!" "Thor for us." "I will callenge him to a ligtning duel!" "Thalia, he's a god." "So? I'm immortal too!" "Ugh."

Venessa's POV

The next 4 days turned into a ruitine. I woke up, ate breakfast, Frank and Thalia taught me archery, Piper with the dagger, then lunch, then Hazel and Nico would explain more mythology to me, then an hours break, where I wrote and read, then Leo would teach me his style of fighting, while Calypso took me to the strawberry patch to garden. Then dinner, campfire, chatting with the 9 in my cabin while I cleaned up, then bed, which usually included dreams that retaught me everything I had learned.

Then the fourth day came. A car horn honked, whistling a cat-call. Tony. Most of the campers were there trying to figure out who it was, but the 9 and I went out of the boundaries to meet them. When we reached the bottom of the hill, they were filing out. I looked around for Luke, and saw Steve holding him. "Luke!" I called. "Momma! Momma is safe! Momma is safe!" Steve laughed and handed me Luke when I ran over to him. I hugged him and hugged him. "I missed you! Are you ok? Tony didn't hurt you with his irresponsibility, did he?" "Luke is safe!" "Good."

"Irresponsible? And are you just going to ignore us?" "Hi, Steve. Hi, Natasha. Hi, Bruce. Hi Clint... Hey Thor." I smiled. "What?! What about me?" "Oh, sorry, Tony. I didn't see you there." We all cracked up laughing. Then Percy cleared his throaght. "Oh, sorry. Avengers, these are my new friends I met at a summer camp I stumbled upon. Annabeth, Percy, Jason, Thalia, Nico, Hazel, Piper, Frank, and Leo." "Why am I last?" "Because you're coolest. Save the best for last." "What? I thought I was coolest!" "Really, Percy? You are all equally cool. I said Leo last because he just ended up last. Can we move on now?" They all laughed.

Then Leo saw Tony. "Oh my gods! You're Iron Man!" "Yep." "I am Leo Valdez, Mr. McShizzle, Supreme Commander of the Argo II, a-" "We just call him repair boy." "Aww! Piper! I was on a roll!" "And I stopped your roll." "Any way, I have a few ideas for your suit. Also..." They started talking technical. "Hey, Leo? I hate to interrupt your friendly bonding, but couldn't we talk at camp?" "Oh, yeah. Sure." Tony told his driver (Tony wasn't driving? Wow!) to head back to the tower, and we headed back up the hill.

"Now don't freak." Annabeth said. "I just have to let you in the force field." "Force field?!" "Yeah. I, Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, allow Tony Stark, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanova, Bruce Banner, Thor Odinson, and Steve Rogers in to Camp Half-Blood." We continued walking. "What was all that?" Tony asked. "I'll explain later. Or you could ask Thor." Thor had a knowing face, so Tony went to bug him.

We walked to my cabin, telling the campers to go back to work. "Why do they have swords? What's with the armor? Why are they glaring at us? What is-" "TONY! Stop!" Piper grinned. "You were right, Venessa. Leo and Tony are exact replica's of each other's personality." Once we made it to my cabin, we all explained the mythological world. Then we began talking. All of a sudden, the Aphrodite girls ran in. "OH, A BABY! AND CELEBRATIES!" "Well, this will be fun."

Hey! Going on a trip! Be back Tuesday! Have fun!
