A/N: Long time no see. I had a writer block, and then Beta-fish (who is back, so there is no new beta, so sorry if you wanted too be it for this story) forgot her email password, but I'm not blaming her. And then I went on surprise camping trip for like four days with my fam in the moutains. And yes it was Nancy Bobofit (on the bottom will explain who she is or you could look it up) Oh, I also spell-checked the first chapter, nothing different, but the words are spelt correctly.
for the long awaited and such...
HERE IS THE STORY (jazz hands)
CHAPTER 11:
(CLINT BARTON)
We had to leave Percy there, because Steve said there was something more important, and Percy was in no condition of getting up and fitting. We went to the debris filled streets, not too far from the tower. Our team were all looking up at the sky.
I glanced up as well, seeing a giant purple face floating around, obscuring the sun a little. He gave a sadistic smile as Thor growled out his name.
"Thanos, stop this madness. You tried to take over Midgard once, and you will not succeed this time either. Your thirst for power will not be quenched here, not while I and my comrades protect it."
"Thor, son of Odinson, have you not been blinded by something here, too? You come here as an invader as well. The times of old still hold to this world. A son of old is in your tower now, and he is attracting monsters as we speak. I have seen the place he fears, and it has told me whispers of the raw power that the child holds, too scared to unleash it." Thanos said, my blood ran cold as an image of Percy went up beside the head. The Kid's eyes glowing green, light - like ribbons - spiraled out of him, wrapping around his arms in some kind of Kida Nedakh/Avatar mix. When the light subsided bodies laid at his feet, dead. "He is power. Born with a gift not anyone would understand. And with that I will take Earth as my own."
The purple head vanished with a bark of laughter. Thor looked ready to murder someone, and I didn't blame him.
"What do we do now?" We all jumped and spun around to see Percy, a gash across his stomach, but he didn't seem too upset about it. Even though he did look uneasy about something else.
"You were meant to stay at the tower." I stated calmly.
"Like the floating plume said, I attracted monster. I needed to go before Mortals got too traumatized." Percy laughed.
"Can you please explain things now?" Peter, and Tony, whined.
"If I have to." Percy sighed. "Let's go to the tower. out of public." Tony clapped his hands together in a win, having an 'off to steal yo girl (and get dim juicy secrets)' gleam to his eyes. I almost started to feel sorry for making Percy do this, almost.
(STEVE ROGERS)
'There is only one god, ma'am.' That was what I said when Natasha told me Thor was 'practically a god'. But as Percy explained who he really was, I tried not to throw my teachings and religion out the window.
"To put it simply, your dad is Poseidon, who is the Greek god of the seas. You are the hero of Olympus because of a prophecy, and you saved the world by winning a war, and then found a Roman camp, like your Greek camp, and went on another prophesied quest to save the world by winning yet another war, right?" Bruce said, struggling to wrap his head around the whole thing. At least I wasn't the only one. I think only Thor truly understood Percy, but I had a feeling he had prior knowledge, call it a hunch.
"I don't think there is a way to put it simply, but yeah. I'm the 'most powerful demigod in centuries', or that's what my friends say at least." I could tell that Percy was sort of down playing his power, like he seemed to do every time it came up.
"But why are you so powerful?" Clint asked. "I get that you are the son of the 'one of the eldest gods', or whatever you said. But Thanos also said you had more power, like something was enhancing it."
"I don't know why, but it's something the plume and Tar- The Pitt wants." Percy paled at the interrupted name. Something bad happened there, but he hadn't told us yet. "And they will do anything to get it." He huffs a small chuckle, as if he had heard this from somewhere.
"How do we find out what it is?" Tony asked. "I mean, you must have some memory of getting something that made you all powerful."
"Thanos said I was born with it, so no memory. But I do know a daughter of Athena that might be able to help." Percy smirked, digging out a golden coin the size of a girl-scout cookie.
(PERCY JACKSON)
Maybe doing the Iris message in front of the Avengers wasn't such a good idea. I couldn't even get one word in before Tony and Peter was blabbing about the science and tech that probably went in this, and Steve looked like he was about to have a heart attack. Thor was praising Annabeth on the two wars, like he did to me. Bruce was doing the same as Tony, but in a calmer-less crazy manner. Clint and Natasha were scooping out the mist image. And Annabeth gave me an amused look like 'this is what you get for not IM-ing me sooner'.
As they pushed me aside to look at the 'rainbow-phone (as Tony likes to call it) I thought about what happened after Clint and Peter left me.
/FLASHBACK\\
To see Nancy, my sixth grade nightmare, in the lobby of Stark Towers, maybe the oddest thing I could think of happening. I mean out of all the people it could have been, it just had to be the klepto-maniac who stuck peanut butter-ketchup sandwich wads in my best friend's hair. The fates must hate me.
Luckily before the silence would consume us, a 'tsk-tsk' came from the door, making both of us turn our heads. A woman with soft blue skin and a red snake tail slithered toward us through the doorway. (My ADHD mind sidetracking and musing over how almost every woman-monster had to have some sort of snake element to them.) She glared at as through insane glazed eyes.
"Children all alone, one of man, and one of more." She hissed, liking her lips as she came closer. "Ahhhh Son of seas, I have heard so much of you. My master sends his regards, your home is coming." She let out a hissing laugh, which sent goose-bumps shivering down my back.
"And you are?" I asked, she didn't look like an ordinary Dracaena, who had two snake trunks as legs. She looked more agile and insane.
"I am Lamia, the child devourer, fear me, children." She licked her lips and slithered closer.
Nancy was staring wide-eyed at the demon snake-lady, and I didn't blame her. It was probably terrifying, but I've been through worse, and this was like walking in the park - park infested by kid-eating demons - but park no less. "Stay back." I warned. Even though I hated Nancy back then, people change...right? "Whatever happens, don't do anything stupid." Just as I said that La-mama, or what ever her name is, charged at me, right into my sword, stabbing her in the gut and turning her into dust. Was it more, or do these monsters get more and more dense. I almost felt sorry for her, it was sad.
"Who the hell are you?" She yelled, marching up to me like she was some sort of god. "You can't just come here and save people like that. Bet this was some kind of rouse to get the Avengers' attention. You're low. Risking my life so you can try to get a -" Or maybe people don't change.
"Well bye." I said and ran off to find my friends.
/END OF FLASHBACK\\
I guess while I was thinking Thor and everyone else (but mostly Thor) explained to Annabeth what had happened, with Polybotes and the Plume-face, I mentioned something about La-mama, and the impending war that seemed to center around me, once again.
"So research? And maybe your mom would know something. I'll tell Chiron about the mist, though he might already know. He's been acting odd lately. Oh and Leo still wants to meet Iron-man." Annabeth said.
"I can go see my mom soon, and I may need Leo's help with something, so that's two down, the rest is up to you, Wise girl." I smirked, making her cheeks go slightly pink as she smiled, waving her hand through the mist after a good-bye and don't do anything stupid.
"Well, today has been something else." Peter said after a few minutes of comfortable silence. "I'm going to hit the hay. See you guys tomorrow." And with that we all drifted off to our different sleeping quarters, but something told me tonight was going to be anything but good.
A/N: So Nancy is that jerk who through peanutbutter ketchup sandwitch wads at Grover and was Percy's arche-nemosis in Yancy Acadimy before he knew about Demi-gods. She was also the first one she used his powers on, but didn't see it because of rage? or something. You will find out why she is important later in the story, hopefully you will understand then (or not?)
