DANGER USUALLY FOLLOWS Percy wherever he goes. Probably monsters wanting to kill him or even gods and titans seeking revenge. So when they entered the Pizzeria, Percy noticed that something was wrong right away. Domino's was empty. Not even a single coworker there. As he inspected every inch of it he turned toward the others to see them confused too.

"Scott? Are you sure that this place isn't closed?" he asked him, still inspecting everything. Scott looked around and then at his phone.

"Yeah, dude. I'm sure." he put his phone in his pocket and started approaching the counter. "I go here every week. Actually, would go." He approached the counter and started yelling and asking if someone was there.

"Well, it doesn't really look open to me." retorted Rocket.

Natasha gripped her gun. She unstrapped it and started walking towards Scott. As she was about to lean over the counter, someone stopped her. It was Percy.

He grabbed Natasha and Scott by their shoulders and pulled them back to the group. When he let go of them, he took his pen from his pocket and he uncapped it. In a matter of seconds Anaklusmos sprang to his full length. Percy was now holding his trustworthy bronze sword. Tony nudged Percy and gave him a confused look.

"What's going on, kid?" he asked him, while his iron man suit wrapped around him. Percy just made a motion with his hand that indicated them to be quiet. Tony listened to him but still powered his repulsors just in case.

As the others saw this, every single one of them got in their defensive stances. Natasha held her gun in front of her as she tried to listen for anything. Clint got out some small object and he clicked something on it. From there, the object materialized into his bow. The same happened with his arrows. He aimed his bow toward every small noise he could hear. Rhodey's War Machine suit flew in,which was no doubt called in by Tony. Rocket got out some big gun with a smirk on his face. Nebula also got out some kind of gun. Steve didn't have his shield on him so he snatched a big metal plate from a table near him. Bruce didn't really have to do anything since he was already Hulk and Scott stayed behind them since he didn't have his suit. Thor wasn't there since he had to do something.

"What's going on?" whispered Steve. He was answered by Percy tapping his watch and a whole shield springing of its place.

"I'm sensing three presences. Godly presences." he told them.

"But, didn't you say the gods are dead?" asked Bruce, looking around.

"They are, but this is a different type of presence. Like... Oh hell no-"

"Hello, Perseus."

They all turned toward one of the tables, all of them on high alert. What they saw, wasn't really what they expected.

Three old ladies were standing in the middle of the store. All of them were wearing hoods and all of them looked really old. As the avengers looked at them, it seemed like the whole place dropped a few temperatures.

Next to them Percy gritted his teeth. He then moved in front of them, making his way toward the old ladies. He stopped walking when he got in front of them, with some distance between them.

"Well... How have you been ladies?" He asked them,his eyes burning with hatred. "Remember what happened last time?"

They all nodded in sync but still not backing down,even as the raven haired boy pointed his sword at the throat of the middle one. The avengers thought about stopping him from killing someone's grandmas but they knew better.

"Why are you here?" he asked them deathly calm,making the avengers shiver. The way Percy looked at the three was beyond terrifying. There was a deep and desired hatred burning in his eyes.

"Hey, kid? Who are these Prince Philip wannabees and why do you look like you want to kill them?" asked Tony. Percy just ignored him.

"I'm gonna ask you again and you better answer." commanded Percy. "Why. Are. You. Here?"

The middle one took a step forward. She pulled down her hood. She then looked at Percy and said something in a different language which seemed that Percy understood. He capped his sword and his eyes widened. The three of them gazed into his eyes and he collapsed.

Tony and Natasha were the first to snap out of their shock. They ran to Percy and caught him before he fell.

"Percy!" yelled Natasha, shaking him. She then looked up at the ladies. "What did you do!?"

The ladies remained silent. Steve threw the plate at them but it didn't even hit them. It stopped in the air in front of them and it fell to the ground. Like magic. Powerful magic.

As Tony was about to blast them to pieces,Percy gripped his hand.

"Stop." his eyes had opened and he was looking at Tony with a begging expression. "Don't."

Tony looked between Percy and the ladies. His helmet opened and he put his hand down. At that very moment the lights flickered in the store and Thor entered with Stormbringer in his hand. Lightning was surrounding him. He looked angry when he saw Percy on the floor barely conscious but when he saw the ladies he paled. He put his axe down (confusing the avengers even more) and he bowed.

"Why the hell is Goldilocks over here bowing?" asked Tony particularly no one. Thor raised his head at Tony and glared at him.

"Why aren't any of you bowing?!" he hissed at them. "These are one of the most powerful beings in the world! They are the Fates!"

There were a couple of scattered gasps as everyone bowed. They had heard of the Fates from Percy's stories and they knew that they were powerful. But as Percy was telling them about them, they could hear how much he hated them.

"Stop bowing to them!" yelled Percy, finally regaining conscious. He stood up,helping Natasha and Tony. He turned around and he motioned for the others to stand up. "Go. I'll catch up to you." he told them,rubbing his temples.

"But-"

"Just go."

After some arguing, Percy finally managed to convince them to leave. The others listened to him and they hesitantly walked away. He then turned back to the Fates.

"Perseus Jackson. Your fate is a difficult one." Like it was scripted the three of them recited the next part. "Beware. You will have to make a decision. A decision that will no doubt be easy for your fatal flaw to make. But... Just know that for your decision, there will be a price. Good luck, Perseus Jackson. Until next time."

"Let's just hope that there is a next time..."

"Oh, and Perseus... You need to start your mission on the 27th. Otherwise... You have no chance against Thanos."

The Fates disappeared and Percy let out a long string of curses.

"What the hell did just happen?!"

All of the avengers and Percy had arrived at the compound after some time. After what had happened everyone was... confused. Percy was sitting on one of the couches, rubbing his temples trying to stop the headache that was taking over. The avengers' voices started to get muffled, like they were in another room or like they were moving far away. Nausea was starting to build up in Percy's stomach. Bile was rising in his throat, but he pushed it down. Everything was just... too much. The fates, the titan, the visions...

He shut his eyes tightly and tried to get those images out of his head... at least tried momentarily.

"Look. Nothing happened! Alright?!" Percy yelled. His head was now burning with pain and it was playing tricks with him, making him hallucinate awful things. Why did they have to show me that? Those vision!? Was his only thought.

Tony gaped at him with wide eyes and he stood up, walking towards him. "How is the fates showing up nothing!? The Fates who decide how long someone lives!?" he yelled "The literal Fates from your quests!? How the hell is that nothing!?"

Percy had enough, so he stood up with anger, but when he saw Tony's worried state, his eyes softened. "Listen... I can't tell you, alright? I just- I can't!" He stole a glance at everyone and he finally sat down. "I'm sorry."

"Those were some... old grandmas." Scott decided to butt in, immediately lightening the mood. Percy shook his head with a smile.

"They were pretty old. Like old, old. And a little ugly." said Rhodey, snickering.

"Well, i'm sorry. Did you perhaps except Victoria's secret models?" retorted sarcastically Percy, making some of them snicker silently.

"Well, not really, but- but i thought that maybe those fucking-" started Rhodey but was quickly cut off.

"Language!" yelled Steve, scaring everyone.

"Holy-"

"Holy shit. You scared the fuck out of me! Where the hell did you come from!?" yelled Percy, holding a hand to his heart.

"Where did you come from?!" asked Clint, looking up at Steve.

"The door." replied Steve, pointing a finger to the now opened door, meanwhile Natasha,Rocket and Bruce were laughing hysterically.

"No kidding, Sherlock. I swear to god that you're some kind of robot." said Tony. "Probably programmed to say 'Language' whenever someone cusses. I know that you think you are fooling everyone, but you aren't fooling me Mr. Righteous."

"What?" replied Steve clueless, making the others go in fits of laughter. Even Nebula started chuckling.

After everyone calmed down, Percy suddenly needed to ask something. "Hey Nat?"

"Yeah?" she replied, looking at something on her phone.

"When is the 27th?"

"Which month?"

"October."

"Uh..." she did something on her phone and she looked back at Percy. "Today's the 27th. Why?"

Bruce suddenly perked up. "We know you a whole week!" Everyone started talking with smiles on their face.

"Oh, fuck." said Percy.

The talking stopped, and everyone looked at Percy. "What is it?" asked Rocket.

"We need to start our mission against Thanos. Today." he replied,already standing up in panic.

"Uh why?" asked Tony.

"Well, it's simple really. If we don't... We have no other chance against Thanos."

"I'm sorry, WHAT?!"
