Here I am again. I updated in a week! Woohoo. It's a long piece so take your time. Enjoy!
Peter
A month ago I got a call of the Tony Stark. I was woken by my phone ringing, I looked at the caller ID, it was Tony freaking Stark. I sat up and picked up. "Hey, Peter."
"Hello, sir."
"I need a favour of you. My niece goes to your school today. Can you watch out for her?"
"Yes, of course mister Stark."
"Thanks, bye."
"Bye" Mister Stark hang up. I looked at my phone and saw a message of Happy. 'Here are the things you need to know about Miss Chase." Chase? Not Stark? I looked at the file, it was a part of her file. Her name, picture, hobbies, grades on past schools and interests. I send a message to MJ and Ned, to meet me earlier at school, so they could help me with Annabeth. That day I tried my best at becoming her friend, she was more irritated with me than that she liked me. As it didn't work I promised myself that I would keep trying. She hasn't wanted to hangout for a month, but I'm gonna keep trying, it's weird that she hasn't made any friends. Most of the times when I ask if she wants to hangout she says she's not allowed, but I asked Mister Stark and he says she's allowed to hang out with friends.
I went to school early. When I came in I saw Annabeth. She looked happier than usual. I went to her. "Hey, Annabeth." "I can't hangout, I'm not allowed." "I didn't even ask!" I sputtered. "Well, you were going to." "Yeah but...-" "Bye, Peter." She walked away. Maybe I asked her too often. I saw Ned come in, I walked to him and we made plans to hangout. MJ also comes.
When school was over we decided we would go to Starbucks. While walking we talked and joked around. We walked into Starbucks when MJ hit us. "Look, isn't that Annabeth?" We looked at the place she was looking at. There was Annabeth, at a table with a guy with black hair, his back was turned towards us. "Should we go and sit with them? We could figure out, who's with her." "Why won't you just go and have a chat, then we'll order something." "Okay, I want a hot chocolate." "Okay, good luck." "Thanks, I'll need it. Bye." I walked to Annabeth and the stranger. "Hey, Annabeth? What are you doing here?" She looked very disturbed. "Hi, this is the Peter I was talking about last time." The last time was for the guy opposite of her. Who nodded. I must admit I was surprised she talked about me.
"Hello, Who're you?" "I'm Percy." He shook my outstretched hand. "Hey, dude, can you please stop trying to talk to Annabeth when she obviously doesn't want to have anything to do with you. I'm bad at taking hints, but you seem even worse." The last part was joked. I looked at Annabeth with pleading eyes. I didn't know what to say. "Can you just leave us alone." I knew my change was over, but I still wanted answers. "I will leave you two alone, if you answer a question. What is your relationship?" Annabeth looked at me and if looks could kill, I would've died. Percy had a twinkle in his eyes, he was the one who answered. "I'm her boyfriend." "Alright, how long have you been together?" "You asked your one question, bye Peter. You ready to go Percy." Percy packed his things and rose from his chair. "You ready?" I know I wasn't wanted anymore so I searched for MJ and Ned, when I found them. I sat with them. I explained what happened. When I was done explaining, I send Happy an explanation of what happened and trusted him that he would notify Tony.
Tony
I was working on my suit, when Jarvis told me I had gotten a message about Annabeth. "Sir, you have gotten a message about Annabeth from Happy."
"What does it say?" "Today I asked Annabeth if she wanted to hangout, she said she wasn't allowed. After school I went to Starbucks were I found Annabeth with a guy. He is her boyfriend. I don't know how long they've been together. His name is Percy. That's all I could figure out. "
I directly wanted to know more. I still don't know who Annabeth exactly is. So, I hacked the cameras at Starbucks. I found Annabeth with a handsome man with black hair. I zoomed in his face, I made Jarvis check for his face in any files. Jarvis found a file of Percy Jackson. I read his file and he could've been my hero. He was expelled from multiple schools, he destroyed a monument of the Gateway Arch. He was seen at mount St Helens before the eruption and he was seen in Greece before the earthquake. He disappeared for 8 months, he was seen all around the world. He seems dangerous and he is dating my niece. I don't approve of that maniac getting that close to my niece. He is probably planning something, maybe he is going to turn her bad, or worse he abducts her and asks for ransom.
"Sir?... Sir?" "Yes Jarvis?" "Annabeth is home. "Great, get all the avengers in the living room. "
I walked towards the living room. When I came in I saw everyone sitting. Annabeth too, even though she looked very irritated. Natasha and Clint shared some popcorn, It looked fresh, as if they know something is about to happen. "Annabeth, do you have a boyfriend?" Everyone looked up and watched Annabeth. "No." A lot of emotions came over her face, it ended in a motionless face.
"Can you explain to me who Percy Jackson is?" "Never heard of him." "You're lying." "Thank you, Natasha. I repeat Who is Percy Jackson." Annabeth send a death glare towards everyone present. "I repeat, I. Don't. Know." "You know who it is, stop lying." I looked her in the eyes, there were miniature storms in her eyes, it was scary. We were quiet for a minute, when I figured she wouldn't reply, I answered my own question. "I'll answer. Percy Jackson is a dangerous. Here is his file, then you can figure it out yourself." I showed them the file using a hologram. "Why, did you look up this file Tony?" Steve asked. "Annabeth has been hanging out with him."
"You're a stalker." "I might be, but you're a liar, so who is he?" "He is no one." "Why do you call your boyfriend no one?" Annabeth looked shocked for a second when she fixed her mask again. She stood up ready to take off running. "You aren't going anywhere. I want to meet him. And then-" "And then what? Decide if he's dangerous or not? If I'm allowed to date him? What are you planning?" "If he's the right guy for you." "You're not the boss of me." "But I'm your parent, so I get to play your boss, and you're living in my tower so you're living by my rules."
"If it makes you feel any better, my real parents thought of him as a family member. And I can always leave your stupid tower. I can just run away, I already know how that is." "What?" "Nothing." "You ran away?" "NO!" I looked at Natasha if she's lying or not. She send a clueless look. Wow. Natasha always knows if someone's lying. "I want to meet your boyfriend. Invite him over tomorrow." "No, I won't." "Why not?" "Because I'll keep dating him, whatever you say." "I just want to meet him." "You're lying." "If you don't invite him, I will." "Good luck." Annabeth stood up and walked away. "Did you really have to do that Tony?" Steve looked disturbed at me "Yes." "Are you really going to invite him over?" Clint asked. "Yes. And I will call directly, unless you have any burning questions left." No one replied. "Goodbye, I have to call someone right now." I stood up and walked towards my workplace. I closed the door, I looked into the file and looked for a phone number. I didn't find any mobile phone numbers, only a number belonging to a house. I decided to call that number. I waited a couple of seconds, when someone picked up.
"Hello, you're speaking with Sally Blofis-Jackson." A female voice was heard.
"Hello, I'm Tony Stark. Can I speak with Percy Jackson?"
"He's not home right now, has he done something wrong?" Why does she assume he did something wrong?
"No, not as far as I know. I just wanted to invite him for dinner tomorrow"
"Who're you again?" How does she not remember who I am?
"Tony Stark, genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist."
"How do you know Percy?" She sounds disturbed. So I decided to tell the half truth, I truly knew him thanks to Peter. "Via Annabeth."
"Oh, are you her substitute parent?"
"Yes."
"How's Annabeth doing?"
"She's doing great."
"Really? It would be great to see her again."
"If you'd like you could come too." Then I can figure even more out.
"Can I take my daughter and husband too?"
"Of course. So you're coming?"
"Yes, of course. I'd love to see who's taking care of Annabeth and I think Percy would love to see where she lives and who she's living with." To see how much money he can make probably.
"Alright see you tomorrow."
"Goodnight."
"Bye" I hang up. That's been taken care of. Now I gotta tell everyone. I looked at the clock. Time for dinner. I walked towards the kitchen, everyone except Annabeth was there. "Where's Annabeth?" I looked around, everyone looked clueless. "Jarvis, can you call Annabeth for dinner?" "She says she's skipping today sir." During dinner I told them we had people visiting tomorrow. The others weren't too happy about it.
After dinner I filled a plate for Annabeth and I brought it to Annabeth. I knocked on her door. "Can I come in? I've got food." "No thanks. Bye!" "You need to eat." I heard a deep sigh. "You can put it in front of the door." "I've got news." "I don't care." "I invited the Jacksons over." "You did what?" The door opened. "I said I was going to do it." "I thought you were joking." "I wasn't." "No I see that now too. Did you say the Jacksons?" "Yeah. His mom picked up, she wished to see you. So I invited them all." I handed her the plate. "And you should eat." She grabbed the plate and shut the door. What a day.
The next morning when Annabeth was at school I decided to check her room. I looked inside, I saw no cameras or anything that could make any alarm bells go off. I walked further into her room. I saw her plate of which she didn't eat anything. I got a little offended. I started to walk further. On her nightstand was picture of Annabeth and Percy, they were bruised and cut but they still looked happy. I felt like it was too late to change Annabeth, they look like criminals who successfully robbed a bank. What if one of them killed Annabeth's family, or Annabeth's family were criminals and were killed by the mafia. I started to freak a little. I started to look for some clues, which could confirm my theory.
I looked into her cupboard, I saw mostly architecture books, a lot of Greek books and some school books. I looked to the bottom and found some photo albums. I grabbed them and looked through them. It seemed as if that Percy really loved her. It were a little too beautiful words to seem real. I mostly saw people wounded, but they always had a positive look in their eyes. They seemed very young in the beginning, which means they probably start young. I started to look further. I found more pictures. Every person was seen at least twice in all the pictures. There were some people who were seen until a certain age. They just seemed to be gone. It was very weird. It were a lot of people. I didn't know Annabeth had so many friends, or colleagues in crime.
I looked in her closet, there were only a few sweaters. Most looked like men sweaters. Annabeth only wore those. There were a few female clothes. But they seemed never worn. The bathroom didn't have a lot of interesting stuff.
I was just planning on going away when I heard someone clearing their throat. "Hi Clint, What are you doing here?"
"I can better ask you that question, this is Annabeth's room, you have nothing to do here."
"I wanted to know who Percy is to Annabeth. In all the pictures I found someone is wounded. I think they are criminals." "What are you talking about?" "I mean they are always positive in the pictures but wounded, who is happy when they're wounded? Annabeth's family is murdered right? What if her parents found out about their criminal paths, and wanted to tell the police. But before they had the chance Annabeth killed them. Don't you think it's strange Annabeth wasn't even wounded?" "She wasn't there. She was at the library that night." "Yeah, but she could've had someone hack the cameras to show she was there when she wasn't there. Her DNA was there already because she lived there. It makes sense you know!" "They got killed by claws, Tony. Animal claws." "But..." "Tony, she's not an animal."
"It can also be they were also in the criminal circuit and that they got too powerful so they got killed by the mafia. Maybe they had dogs." "Tony the claw marks are too big and dogs can't kill like this. Their skulls were crushed. There weren't any bite marks and her father's heart was ripped out. No one ate anything of it. It's a mystery. So far we know, the thing we're searching for doesn't exist."
"How do you know?" "Because I read the reports. Let's go." Clint walked out of the room, I walked after him. I looked back once and saw exactly how it was left. I closed the door and went to search the report.
Around six we got notified the visitors were there. We were me, Pepper, Bruce, Steve, Natasha, Barton and Annabeth. I wore a tuxedo, Pepper wore simple dress, Bruce wore a simple shirt, Steve wore a blouse, Natasha wore some Jeans and a shirt of some rock band, Barton wore something like Natasha and Annabeth just wore her usual attire. Some jeans and a man's sweater.
When the lift opened someone jumped out. It was Percy. He ran towards Annabeth, he lifted her and turned in a circle. When he out her down he gave her a kiss. After that entrance I looked at the others there was a man with salt and pepper eyes, a woman with brown hair and kind brown eyes, she lifted a girl of 2 years old. "Beth!" She screamed. Annabeth walked with Percy to the little girl. The woman gave her to Annabeth. Annabeth gave a hug to the girl. Than Percy took the girl in his arms. Annabeth got engulfed in a hug by the woman, they stood like that for around 30 seconds. Then at last she gave a short hug to the man.
"I'm Sally." Said the woman. "I'm Paul." Said the man "Percy." Said Percy after a nudge of Annabeth. He then nudged the little girl "I yam Estelle!" We introduced ourselves. After the introductions we went to the kitchen to eat. We had ordered shawarma and put it in bowls so it looked more like we actually made it ourselves. I also had some glasses filled with alcoholic beverages.
"How have you been doing Annabeth?" I mentally laughed at them, she wouldn't ever answer an answer longer than one sentence. "It's going better, and better. I still miss my family, but I got used to it pretty quick. I'm already used on being without them for so long. It's nice to be back in New York tough." I was shocked that's the most she ever said as an answer. "So, how long have you known each other?" "We met at age 12 and started dating age 16." Percy answered. I talked the whole time with Percy trying to figure something out. Steve and Bruce were talking to Paul, Natasha and Steve were talking with Sally and Annabeth and Clint was busy entertaining Estelle. When we were done Percy and Annabeth offered to do the dishes. We went to the living room to talk further. After a quarter I decided we needed some drinks. I went to the kitchen to get them out of my mini bar. When I walked towards the kitchen I heard Percy and Annabeth. When I walked in I saw them banter and joke around. I expected them to make out. I walked towards the bar. I grabbed a tray and put some glasses and some drinks on them. I had some vodka and whiskey. "You coming." They looked at each other, Percy nodded then they followed me out of the kitchen towards the living room.
I put the tray on the table. Percy and Annabeth sat down on the loveseat. I poured some glasses whiskey. "You want too?" I looked at Percy, he looked up. He looked down to the table. He got slightly whiter. "No, thanks." "Don't worry, I won't judge." I poured him a glass. He shot a look at his mom. She looked slightly terrified, but she at least understood. I didn't. I sat down and downed a glass in one time, I poured another. Percy looked at Annabeth, "Can I see your room?" "Yes of course." They stood up. "Wait! First take a drink." I commanded, I grabbed his glass and handed it to him. He didn't take it. "Come on! Don't be such a chicken. Be a man." He still didn't grab the glass, I took a few steps to him, and he walked backwards. "Tony, stop." Steve yelled. "Sit down." Pepper commanded.
Annabeth grabbed Percy's hand and pulled slightly she got him to function again she took him to her room. "I'm sorry, Tony's normally not like this." Pepper apologised. "Don't worry. Percy'll forgive him eventually. It's just his first step dad was an alcoholic, and he has abused Percy when he was drunk." Sally had gotten a look of regret in her eyes. "May I ask what happened to him, ma'am?" Steve asked. "He's gotten taken care of, don't worry." She looked at the clock. I think we're going home, Estelle already sleeps and Paul needs to go to work tomorrow. She stood up grabbed Estelle, Paul also stood up. "It was nice meeting you, I think Annabeth will find her spot and if she ever needs a place to crash she's always welcome at our place." Paul thanked us.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Clint asked. Paul and Sally looked at each other. "I don't think so." Sally answered. "Saying goodbye to Annabeth, or your son Percy?" Clint suggested. "Oh, no. We aren't forgetting that. Percy stays, as usual and they probably sleep already and I won't wake them as they need all the sleep they can get." Sally smiled. "Bye."
"Wait. They just sleep together? In the same bed?" Steve asked shocked. "Yes, they sleep better together." Sally answered. "But-" "Nothing is going to happen, they'll just sleep." "Jarvis, what are Percy and Annabeth doing in her room?" Jarvis answered. "Percy is still awake and Annabeth is asleep on top of Percy."
"What?" Steve shouted out. "Are they wearing clothes?"
"Yes, Percy wears some sweat pants and no top and Annabeth wears an old T-shirt and some short Pyjama pants." Jarvis said after few seconds. "I told you so. Don't worry, they'll be fine. We'll be going now. Goodbye." Sally smiled warmly, when she heard some byes she walked towards the elevator and Paul followed her with a sleeping Estelle.
We looked at each other. "Are we going to take them apart or do we trust Sally?" Clint asked.
"We take them apart. What if Percy abducts Annabeth, or murder her or-"
"Tony, We're talking about a man who knows we know where he lives and we know about his family. If he would do something to Annabeth, he knows we can find him. He won't do such thing. And if you really want to make sure Annabeth is safe, make Jarvis check in on them." I looked around if anyone would support me. Everyone looked like they were on Sally's side. "Alright." I grumbled. "Jarvis, let me know if Percy does something abnormal and let me know if he tries to leave." After I gave the order I turned my heel and walked away.
The next morning when I woke up, I didn't recognize the room I was in. The only thing or better person I recognised Annabeth who was sleeping on top of me. She looked very cute, she wore an old shirt of mine and some pyjama pants. Her hair was full of knots, but she couldn't look any prettier to me. After a couple minutes of me staring at her, her alarm went off. She groaned, turned around and put the alarm of. When she opened her eyes, she looked in mine. "What are you looking at?"
"You." I pecked her lips. "It's time to get up. We need to go to school remember?" Annabeth groaned. "Can't we stay in bed for another minute?" "What if you stay in bed and I'll take a shower." Annabeth nodded.
I stood up and walked into the bathroom. I put the shower on and showered pretty fast. After 2 minutes I put the shower off and dried myself using my powers. I put on some underwear and stepped out of the bathroom. "Do you still have some of my clothes?" I looked at Annabeth. "Yeah, look in the door next to the bathroom." I opened the door and saw a huge walk-in closet. There weren't a lot of clothes in it, most of the clothes that were in there were mine. I grabbed a blue sweater and some jeans. When I was done changing I turned to look at Annabeth. "You really need to invite Piper over, so you can fill this huge closet." Annabeth chuckled. "Maybe I should. Can you hand me some clothes too?" I grabbed a sweater of mine that I hadn't seen in months.
"You had this sweater? I thought I lost it." "You gave it to me at the campfire at camp. Remember?" "Oh yeah." I turned back to grab some jeans. "Here you go." "Thanks." I turned around so Annabeth could change in privacy. When she was done we walked together hand in hand to the kitchen.
"You're up early." Steve commented. I looked at the time, we still had an hour to eat breakfast and to get to school. "Yeah we are." I looked at Annabeth. "You know what this means." Annabeth gave me a weird look. "Pancakes!" I shouted. I walked to my bag I had put in the corner last night and packed a blue tube. It was blue food colouring. "What's that?" Annabeth questioned. "Food colouring, always be prepared to make pancakes." Annabeth chuckled and Steve looked at me as if I said something weird. We searched for a bowl and all the ingredients, when we had everything Annabeth let me mix everything. At last Annabeth put a couple of drops of food colouring in, I made her put more drops in then necessary. But you can never have too blue pancakes right.
We grabbed each two pans and started baking. The whole kitchen started to smell like pancakes, slowly but surely all the housemates of Annabeth walked in, they all followed their nose. When we were almost done baking we had a huge pile of pancakes. I started to set the table and Annabeth finished the batter. When we were done we put two plates full of pancakes on table. "Dig in." Everyone grabbed some pancakes it was chaos. After a minute when everyone had their pancakes and was munching, it was peaceful. We started to have some smalltalk. They looked very interested as to why the pancakes were blue. Annabeth and I looked knowingly at each other and just joked about it.
When we were done eating Annabeth started to pack her bag and I just sat with the others. I had the feeling Tony really didn't like me. He just looked very sourly to me. He gave me deathglare after deathglare, his were weak, and if he wasn't Annabeth's substitute parent I would've showed him my deathglare. He would've jumped away like a chicken, I had a hard time trying not to crack a smile, after a while I smiled. Tony looked disturbed that I smiled looking at him. I hadn't forgotten about him last night, but I chose to forgive him, forgive Not forget.
"You ready?" Annabeth interrupted. "Yeah." I stood up and grabbed my bag. "What are you going to do?" Tony asked. "I'm bringing Percy to his school and then I go to my school. Bye" "Bye." Annabeth walked to the elevator and I followed. While in the elevator I asked Annabeth if she noticed that her uncle doesn't like me. "Well, too bad for him, I like you and he won't come in between us." "I knew that, but can't he force you to not see me again or so?" "Then I'll just run away, or I go to your place or to camp." I looked at Annabeth and she was completely serious. "Alright." The elevator doors opened. "Who drives?" I asked. "I do." Annabeth decided. I opened the door for Annabeth. She climbed into the car, then I closed the door and walked to my side. "Music?" "Music." I put on some music it was some bad music, we sang as hard as possible. It felt great. When we arrived at my school I put the music lower. "See you later, I love you." We kissed each other. When we were done I stepped out and Annabeth drove away. I waved at her until she was out of my sight. Goode here I come!
Maybe I should explain something, I like abused! Percy. So let's all assume Gabe abused Percy when he was drunk. Maybe I depicted Tony wrong as a drunk, but I wanted to show Percy is still scared. I made Tony dislike Percy because my friend who helps wanted it. Hope I did well enough!
Bye!
