Hey guys. This is a concept one-shot to explore a Percy Jackson and Avengers crossover. By Avengers I mean all of marvel. If this story comes into fruition, you'll see stuff from the comics more often than not. Before you read, I gotta tell you, the history of this universe is probably completely different than whatever it is you're expecting. Percy's not even a son of Posiedon. HIs heritage is completely different, especially on his mother's side. He's a genius, that'll come into play a few times, he was trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. and Taskmaster. He was a founding Avenger and has been operating as a vigilante since he was 12. Oh and also he'll have wings, black wings, you won't see them too often but they're there. It inspired his codename, well partially, he is the Nephlaem.

Percy Pov
Lightning cracked outside, it was a stormy day. He had hot cocoa in his hands, blowing softly on it. He was bundled in blankets. Percy watched as rain fell heavily on the bustling New York streets. He knew he had to enjoy these few moments for it would be little peace he had before he had to get back to work.
He reflected on these past few years how his journey started, never in his wildest imagination did it turn out like this. He was one of the biggest pillars of the superhero community. He had started his crusade alon, trying to bring some form of justice to the dark city. Over time it changed, it evolved into something new. Now he was joined by Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker, his team on comms. He had an entire agency to fall back on, a contact list full of superheroes, ranging from the Inhumans to the X-Men to gods and to aliens, honest-to-god aliens.
He had fought at the depths of the ocean, he had fought billions of light years from Earth, no matter what he saw, he always found New York that much more beautiful. It was contradicting in a way but it made perfect sense to him. New Yorkers never broke, they only endured, the city was wrecked by giant robots and monsters on a daily basis but New Yorkers didn't care, nothing broke them. They always resisted and they always rose up. It was inspiring. One scene in particular rises to the forefront of his mind, when he fought the octessence, how his city protected him.
Before he could delve too far in his memories. He was alerted to the time. He had to get ready for the next mission.
The Avengers had been raiding HYDRA bases in an attempt to recover Loki's scepter. After SHIELD's fall Tony and Janet had discovered that Loki's Scepter had fallen into Baron Strucker's hands. They weren't able to pinpoint the Scepter because it was sent all across Europe to different HYDRA bases to delay them from recovering it. But Percy had a feeling this was it.

HYDRA Research Facility
Sokovia
He cursed as plasma bolts flew overhead, HYDRA had been upping its game. They were equipped with advanced technology.
He counted the moments down, and sprung ahead with his sword in his hand. Percy rushed at them, unable to defend themselves at close range, two HYDRA agents fell immediately. He quickly grabbed one agent's gun and directed it upwards. He kicked him into his rushing allies while ducking and advancing to the platoon on his left. He knocked them out with swift movements.
His shield sprung to life on amental command just in time to deflect the heavy artillery of a HYDRA tank nearby. He dodged and ran at the tank that was unable to maneuver into a favorable position, backflipping on to the top of the tank with ease, he used his enhanced strength to tear the top off and throw the crew out. The tank then crashed into a tree nearby while he leaped off it.
Percy ran towards where he could see a majority of the forces concentrated. While running he easily knocked out the groups of HYDRA soldiers in his path.
Overhead he could see Tony flying to the castle but suddenly knocked of course by a strange energy field.
"Shit" Tony cursed loudly.
"Language", Steve chided. "Friday, what's the view from upstairs?"
He paused for a moment in incredulity before getting back to fighting. Thor flew right by him and they dispatched another platoon together. Friday confirmed what he already knew, the main building was protected by an energy field.
"Loki's scepter must be here," Thor said in-between fighting. "at long last."
"At long last is lasting a little long boys." Natasha replied from her position.
He knocked out another pair of agents as they ran at him. "
"I think we may have lost the element of surprise, guys." Clint commented.
"I'm more concerned about the artillery fire, it must be hitting the city", Percy said after baseball sliding behind another trio of agents. He hit the two closest to him with swift punches to the back of the head. He grabbed the last agent and slammed him into the ground before throwing him at three other soldiers.
"Friday, deploy the Iron Legion", Tony replied to Percy's concern.
He leapt onto a guard tower and planted his small but powerful explosives before jumping off.
"Wait a second", Tony comments. "Is no one going to deal with the fact that Cap just said 'Language'".
"I know, I know", Steve wearily responded. "It just slipped out".
He rolled out of more enemy fire as the Hulk charged through the bunker that was firing at them. He knew Banner and Hulk were doing better since the Leader's last attack.
He was shaken from his thoughts when he heard Cap's grim and surprised voice, "Strucker's taken to the field, along with what seems to be reanimated Chitauri soldiers"
He grimaced, he knew Cap and Strucker had a long history, and that Strucker had been resurrected no less than two times. That with deadly Chitauri soldiers, well….
He shared a look with his now normal sized teammate, Janet van Dyne before they both ran to Cap's coordinates. He had originally been against Janet's inclusion in this mission, he thought she was still too raw with what had happened with Hank. Hank was a touchy subject for all the Avengers, but especially Janet. The once ally, now enemy Hank Pym or Yellow Jacket, brought him conflicted emotions. He shook his head clear of those thoughts, now definitely wasn't the time.
With a fierce battle cry he rejoined the fight, watching from a distance as Cap took on Strucker.

Unknown POV
He crept through the dark room. He scoffed internally, the Avengers really tried to keep him out. He who designed the system. They could change all the access codes they want, his genius would always triumph.
At last he had found it, he had been closely monitoring the Avengers for quite some time and their recent find intrigued them. Neither Banner, Stark nor even Jackson truly understood the power that Scepter held. He would show them.
Ah, he found what he was looking for, a small rectangular box. One could mistake it for VHS tape but in reality it held something far more advanced. He could grudgingly admit that Jackson and Stark had truly outdone themselves this time. Parker and Banner probably helped as well but that was of little matter. He would have his revenge on the two of them. They would rue the day they decided to expel him from the team. They were nothing without him. And this was his perfect revenge.
All he had to do was interface the scepter and a dangerous blue glow flooded the room. The process had begun and if his calculations were correct, well…
He knew he had to leave soon and he did so with a maniacal laugh.
The interface sparked to life something new, something dangerous, a threat unlike anything the Avengers will have faced before. It would have devastating consequences.
A soft whirring filled the room as Ultron came to life.
Well, how was it? I always found Hank Pym such an interesting character, it's going to be fun to play with him. Obviously you can see I took a lot of inspiration from the comics. As for the absence of Pietro and Wanda, well both of them are with Magneto right now. I might change that in the future if I decide to write the fic but yeah. I know the fight scene wasn't great, fight scenes aren't really my strength but I am really going to have to challenge myself with this fic because obviously it will have to include a lot of fights.
