The Lone Demigod Chapter 2
A/N : So I got quite a good response so I would like to continue this story, so this is Chapter 2 of the LONE DEMIGOD.
"Speaking"
'Thoughts'
After the weekend In Montauk, Percy did feel kind of relaxed, His nightmares about Tartarus had completely vanished, as if they weren't there in the first place!
Percy was on his way to Camp Half Blood in a cab ( or taxi whichever you prefer) when it stopped in front of the stark tower ( now avengers tower). Knowing that there were individuals up in that tower that could either destroy the world or save it, was a weird thing to get used to. Half the people ( mostly the government ) wanted them dead for the destruction of sokovia and at the same time, half the people wanted to thank them for stopping the destruction of the world.
'Humans are just like gods, when threatened, they try their best to obliterate the threat, but when protected, they literally forget that the avengers could also destroy the world…' Percy's thoughts came to a stop as the driver said, " Are you sure you want to stop here? it is a straw berry farm, unless you want to steal strawberries,"
"That's exactly what I want to do sir, thank you," He then gave the driver more than the required money and also slipped in a note saying, 'Don't tell anyone that I am stealing strawberries, alright?'. "Keep the change, you are a good man." He said and walked out dramatically, his black leather jacket swaying in the wind, his orange camp t-shirt rippling around his body. When he was about to step in, he plucked a few berries, showed them to the driver and winked, then he disappeared into the bush.
Percy walked towards the camp borders, patted Peleus the dragon, who was wrapped around Thalia's tree protecting the golden fleece.
When he walked in, some of the old campers smiled and waved at him, some ( Clarisse ) just nodded at him, and the new campers looked at him in awe as they had only heard his stories and legends, ( courtesy of Rick Riordan ).
Percy saw Chiron and Dionysus ( Mr. D ) talking to each other. He walked towards them.
"Pepper Johannsoonn, come here we were just talking about you," Mr. D said, not bothering to say Percy's name correctly.
"Percy my boy, I hope your weekend was satisfactory."
Chiron said while hugging Percy.
"Yeah, the nightmares are not coming back at all. I feel absolutely fresh."
"Good, Good Perry, Yesterday Annabelle also came back, we wanted to talk to you about something." Dionysus said, then he turned to Chiron and said, " Call Annabelle over would you,"
Chiron went in search of Annabeth.
Percy asked Mr. D, " What happened Mr. D?"
Just as he finished, talking, Annabeth came with Chiron, and as soon as she saw Percy, she ran and kissed him on the cheek.
Percy hugged her back.
Mr. D cleared his throat, and the couple broke apart.
"So, Perry and Annie, I called you here to tell you of something really really bad, yesterday, Rachel uttered a prophecy, maybe the last prophecy she would utter,"
"Why, what happened to the oracles and Apollo?" Annabeth asked.
"Well zeus banished Apollo for stupid reasons, stripped him of his godhood and cast him down on Earth. When that happened he left a piece of paper back, which said that a mad titan was coming and that the oracles are gone or maybe even dead." Chiron explained as thunder rumbled overhead.
"Wow! That's lot to process," Percy said.
"And that isn't all, Ms Dare painted a horrific visual, of what the prophecy may mean if it went in the wrong direction," Dionysus then opened his palms and swirling purple mist formed a miniature version of the painting in the cave. It consisted of a grotesque looking ares just purple, he had a mad and sadistic glint in his eyes, that screamed 'INSANE!', He wore a golden glove or gauntlet on one hand which was in a snapping position, and all around there were people some with blades sticking out of their chests, some disappearing into dust and some holding their loved ones, all in all, it was a picture that brought only one thought to Percy and Annabeth's minds, ' Carnage'
Mr. D closed his palm and the mist dissipated.
"This mad titan is after the infinity stones, which were supposed to be lost a long time ago, based on the prophecy." He spoke after a long silence.
"What are the infinity stones?" Percy asked.
"They are weapons of mass destruction, one wrong move and it could kill half of the people, turning them to dust, the last time it happened, half of the council of gods had been reduced to dust. Some of the infinity stones are safely guarded, one is in Xandar, the other is In Asgard, and the third is with the Collector. The other three are presumed missing, but we gods are feeling their presence here on Earth."
"What?!, so what do you want us to do?" Annabeth asked.
"For the time being, don't do anything, my advice, don't tell anyone about this, and don't come to camp for the time being as it can be dangerous you both." Chiron answered.
"But we have to train…" Percy started but was cut off when Mr. D opened his palm and transported each of them to their respected homes.
Avengers Tower
Tony was back to his usual sarcastic self.
The rest of the team was practicing with steve while Tony was going through some computer files, when he found a video of spiderman swing through the city and stopping a bus. That intrigued him.
"Friday, pull up everything you have on spiderman," Tony asked his new AI.
"Yes Sir" Answered the ai in a computerized and robotic voice.
The screen cleared and different videos, photos and stories about how he's a menace, or how he is a savior, from YouTube and Blog and newspapers about the masked hero or vigilante popped up.
"Just who are you?" Tony asked in a curious voice, as he sat back on his chair studying everything.
A/N: Phew, that was a long chapter, but please tell me how you like it.
And also a few spoilers:
Percy will go to normal school.
Annabeth will again go home.
The gods will have another discussion about the infinity stones.
And the avengers will know about the demigods probably in the next few chapters.
Please leave some reviews, and sorry for any grammatical mistakes. Constructive criticism and tips are appreciated.
