Ok, I just want to clarify that Civil War never happened. I can't bring my self to write about it because everything that happened in that movie just breaks my heart. Sorry if some of you disagree.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
Peter was having a pretty bad day.
Flash decided that today was a good day to be even more of an asshole. So he threw more insults at Peter and his friends, shoved him into a locker a few times, and even tried to beat Peter to a pulp after school. Thankfully, a teacher showed up just in time.
He, Ned, and MJ were just leaving the school when a car pulled up and a boy around nineteen got out. It was Percy, Mr. Stark's new personal assistant, and he was the most gorgeous human being he had ever seen.
Peter heard a girl gasp from behind him, "Who is that?"
Ned hit Peter on the shoulder, "Isn't that Mr. Stark's assistant?" Peter nodded.
MJ smirked, "You mean the one Peter has had a crush on since he was hired? Damn, he is as hot as you said he is." Ok, that was not a very MJ thing to say.
Peter nodded again, not taking his eyes off of the older teen. When Percy saw him, he smiled slightly and waved him over.
MJ shoved him towards the car, still smirking, and she and Ned walked away as they waved at Percy. Peter glared at them.
"Hey, Peter."
Peter turned to look at him, face bright red, "H-hi Percy."
Percy smiled, "You ready to go? Tony wanted me to take you to the Compound."
Peter nodded excitedly, he loves going to the compound. Partly because he gets to train with master assassins and go on small missions with the Avengers, and another part is that he gets to help Mr. Stark and Dr. Banner in the labs.
Percy laughed slightly, "Ok, hop in."
"Why are you picking me up this time? I thought this was Happy's job." Not that Peter was complaining.
"Happy was busy dropping Tony off at the compound, so Tony wanted me to take you," Percy said.
"Yeah, he made you do this in the middle of a very well-needed day off, I might add." It was then when Peter noticed the blonde girl sitting in the passenger's seat. "I'm Annabeth by the way, I'm that idiot's girlfriend." She pointed to Percy who had an offended look on his face.
"I'm Peter." He hoped his disappointment wasn't on too clear on his face.
"Yeah, I figured," Annabeth said with a slight smile. Then she turned to Percy, "So this is Tony Stark's dorky intern you told me about?"
Percy nodded and Peter saw him smile in the rearview mirror, "Yeah, that's him," Peter glared at him and he laughed, "Tony's words, not mine."
Of course, it was. Peter thought, rolling his eyes.
"You know, It's a while since I've gone to the compound," Percy said.
Peter's eyes widened, "Seriously? You've never been?"
Percy shook his head, "Not really, not with the avengers around at least, It's kind of hard to go when you're trying to help Pepper clean up things with the public after the Avengers screw something up."
"That's fair," Peter said.
Annabeth shook her head, "No it isn't. Tony makes you work too hard, Percy, you shouldn't have to do any of that."
Percy shrugged, "Yeah well, It's not as bad as it seems."
They drove for about twenty minutes in awkward silence. Music playing on low volume in the background.
Percy finally broke the silence, "So...uh, nevermind I got nothing."
Peter scoffed and went back to looking out the window, more awkward silence. It went on like this for a few more minutes until Don't Stop Believin' by Journey began playing on the radio.
"Percy turn this up, I love this song," Annabeth said, smiling. Percy grinned and turned up the sound.
"Just a small-town girl, livin' in a lonely world..." Older teens began singing to the lyrics.
What the hell is happening? Peter thought.
They kept singing, grinning like idiots, they didn't sound too bad either. Eventually, Peter joined in too, he couldn't resist, the song was too catchy.
Soon enough the song ended, and so did the trip to the Avengers compound. They all got out of the car and Percy instantly morphed into his "responsible assistant" facade. "Nobody tells Tony about what just happened, I don't want to give him a single reason to blackmail me."
Both Annabeth and Peter nodded, and the three teenagers went inside.
"Hey, Friday, where's Tony?" Percy asked the AI.
"Mr. Stark is in the living with the rest of the Avengers, Mr. Jackson."
Annabeth looked at Percy with an amused smile on her face, "Mr. Jackson?"
Percy shrugged, "Don't ask me, Tony programmed her." He grinned, "So you ready to meet Captain America?"
Annabeth rolled her eyes, "I could care less about Captain America, your best friend practically is Captain America, I want to meet Black Widow."
"Boss, Mr. Jackson and Mr. Parker are here," Friday said.
"Thanks, Fri," Tony said.
Right on cue, Percy and Peter walked into the kitchen, Annabeth following them, all of the Avengers looked at them before looking at Tony in confusion.
"Hey Perce, thanks for helping me out," Tony said.
"It's no problem," said the teen.
"Uh, Tony," he heard Clint say, "Who's the kid?"
"I'm Percy Jackson, Stark's babysitter," Percy said. That annoying, stupid smirk on his face.
"He's my assistant," Tony said. Glaring at Clint who was visibly trying not to laugh.
"Only you would hire a teenager as an assistant, Stark," Natasha said shaking her head with an amused smile.
"Yeah well, believe it or not, he's actually good at his job," Tony said.
Sam raised an eyebrow, "Like how good? This is a teenager we're talking about,"
Before Tony could answer, Percy said, "Since we're talking about me, I'll answer that. Even Pepper is impressed. I've even gotten Tony to eat and sleep like a normal person."
Percy looked smug as all the Avengers looked at Pepper for confirmation, who just nodded.
"Ok, that's pretty damn good," Sam admitted.
Annabeth nodded, "Blew me away. He was hired a week after he and our friend Jason got wasted and stupidly got tattoos to prove their friendship."
Tony spit out his coffee and grinned at his assistant, "What?"
Percy groaned and glared at his girlfriend, "What did I say about giving him blackmail material?" Annabeth just smirked.
"Wait, wait, wait," Tony said, "You're not a responsible asshole all the time?"
Percy rolled his eyes, "Of course not, I save that part of me just for you."
"Can someone please tell me what's going on?" Steve asked. He, as well as the other Avengers, looked very confused.
"I hired a new assistant a few months ago," Tony pointed to Percy, "That's him, the blonde girl is his girlfriend. And until she told me, and all this time, I thought Percy was an asshole. Apparently, he's only like that when he's on the job."
Steve smiled warmly and held his hand out for the teen to shake, "I'm Steve Rogers,"
Percy smirked and looked at Tony before looking back at Steve to shake his hand, "Oh really?" Oh no, this is payback, isn't it? Tony thought, "Tony had told me a lot about you."
Steve raised an eyebrow and looked at Tony, "He has?"
Tony felt his face heat up, he looked at the coffee cup in front of him, "Uh-yeah-I-uh, talk about all of you guys."
"Yeah, it's mostly complaints about how you all spend his money and stuff, nothing big," Percy said, still smirking.
Clint was laughing his ass off, "I like him. Kid, you're probably my new favorite person."
"Ok, that's enough! Can we go to the living room and watch a movie or something?" Tony asked.
If there was one thing that Percy loved about his job, it's making fun of Tony. Especially when Rhodey and Pepper are there to help him. It's why Percy is so pissed that Annabeth told him about the tattoo because now Tony has something he can make fun of him for. Like right now, Tony and the rest of the guys in the Avengers are bothering him about it while the girls are in the kitchen.
"Wait, so you were drunk when you got it?" Peter asked.
"Yes, my friend Leo had this epic party and Jason and I got drunk, then decided we would get tattoos," Percy said.
"Isn't the drinking age twenty-one?" Steve asked.
Tony rolled his eyes, "Oh get over it, Cap. Most teenagers these days start drinking at fifteen.
"He's not wrong," Peter muttered.
Tony whipped his head around, "What did you just say?" he asked angrily.
Peter's eyes widened, "I-what? I didn't say anything, are you okay Mr. Stark?" Nice one, kid. Percy thought with a grin.
Tony narrowed his eyes at the kid before turning back to Percy, "Can we at least see it?"
Percy sighed, "If I showed you would you stop bothering me about it?" They all nodded, Percy sighed again and took off his shirt. The tattoo was a realistic picture of Tempest, Jason's wind spirit horse. They had Hazel draw a picture of him and Blackjack and gave them to the tattoo artist. As Annabeth said, they were both were drunk, so they decided to "prove they're true friends" by getting matching tattoos of each other's steeds.
He just hoped that his Mist-using skills his a god enough to cover his scars.
He heard a few whistles, "That's pretty badass," said Barton.
"Thanks, the artist was pretty impressed too," Percy said.
"D-do you mind if I take a picture?" Peter asked, "To show my friends?"
Percy shrugged "Sure," He let Peter take the picture and put his shirt on.
"T-thanks," the kid said.
Percy smiled, "No problem."
Meanwhile, in the kitchen...
"It's great to see you again, Annabeth. It's been a while." Pepper asked with a warm smile.
Annabeth smiled, "It's good to see you too, Pepper. Sorry, I haven't been around, I've been busy with classes and looking for a job."
"Well, when you graduate, come to me. We have a few jobs open in the architecture department at Stark, they would be lucky to have you."
Annabeth's smile widened, "Really?" Pepper nodded, "That would be amazing! Thank you so much!"
"No problem, sweetie," Pepper said.
"Wait you're about to graduate?" Natasha asked, "Aren't you nineteen?"
Annabeth nodded, "I did a lot of college classes when I was in high school," she explained, "So for the last two years, I've been taking all architecture classes so I can be an architect."
"Wow, pretty and smart. Percy is lucky to have you." Wanda said, smiling.
"More like I'm lucky to have Percy, he may do stupid things a lot, but he's the best boyfriend a girl could ask for," Annabeth said. "You tell him that and I will not hesitate to kick your ass."
Natasha grinned, "I don't doubt it."
Then, Percy walked into the kitchen, heading straight to Annabeth with a smile on his face. "Hey Wise Girl," He kissed her on the cheek, "You ready to go? We left our friends at our apartment alone, I don't want to have to completely restock the kitchen."
Annabeth widened her eyes in realization, "Shit you're right, we better go." She stopped and looked at Natasha and Wanda, "Can I get your autographs? My friends will try to murder me if I meet you guys and don't come back with a souvenir."
Both heroines laughed, "Sure," Natasha said, she grabbed a few napkins and a pen.
"Who do we make them out to?" Wanda asked, taking a few napkins.
"Hazel and Piper." They both gave the napkins to Annabeth with a smile, "Thanks. Let's go, Seaweed Brain." she grabbed her boyfriend's hand and they left the kitchen. The Avengers call put their goodbyes as they leave.
Did you like it? I hope so.
I'm sorry about the Don't Stop Believin' thing, I just wanted to add a bit of humor to the story.
Also, this is a Stony story sorry to those non-Stony shippers.
Anyway, goodbye!
love,
