Greek myths are real? Alien or Monster? Chapter 12
AN: there is a reason as to why the Avengers don't believe her, it would be revealed later on so please bare with me... I do not own any marvel or PJ characters.
Leave a review, I hope you enjoy.
Peter was still worried about Sam, he had not been allowed to visit her since she woke up. He was back at school and seemed to be going through the motions but he was not the only one that seemed to be noticing her absence. MJ and Ned both wanted to know what had happened but he couldn't say. Because honestly he had no idea what had happened. He had briefed them that she had fought the aliens and that Mr Stark was worried for her safety so they were keeping her safe.
"Are we still on for tonight?" MJ asked
"The movie? Yes." Peter replied he had asked MJ out on a date and she had agreed he was told to give them time and that Mr Stark was working the problem with the other avengers. "Are you going to go out today?"
"No, I sort of promised Ned we would build the death star."
"Again?" MJ asked
"We technically finished it, but then Ned broke it. You're welcome to join us?" he asked
"No thanks." MJ replied
"I will see you at five?"
"Yes, at the theatre. Don't be late." She stated walking away school was finally over and Peter was waiting for Ned so they could go back to his place. He had left Ned after building half of it as it was time to meet up with MJ and she would kill him if he was late, that was why he was running down the street towards the theatre. Peter bumped into a blonde girl almost knocking her over, she seemed to tense under the contact as Peter stumbled over an apology he couldn't help but look at her eyes. They were the most strange kind of blue he had seen they almost looked grey, she had blonde hair and she looked annoyed.
"Annabeth?" a voice called out and Peter turned to see a boy his age coming over to them he also had weird eyes they were the greenest eyes he had ever seen. Feeling like an idiot staring at their eyes. He stumbled over another apology before remembering he was late.
"I am so sorry, it's just I am late my girlfriend is going to kill me."
"No problem man, you should get going." The boy replied even though he got a glare from the girl that sent chills down his spine.
"You should look where you go." Annabeth stated before the boy put his arm around her and they walked off towards the theatre. Peter cursed at the time as he jogged, more aware of his surroundings towards the theatre where he met up with MJ.
"Hey." He smiled but she only raised an eyebrow at him and he knew she was annoyed. They moved inside and brought the tickets and popcorn with drinks before heading to the cinema they were in he was looking at MJ when he bumped into a person.
"You again." Annabeth stated she seemed rather defensive
"Peter you know her?" MJ asked
"He ran into me outside." She stated
"Annabeth hey you again." The boy stated looking at Peter and MJ "So girlfriend not mad?" he asked and Peter went tense as he felt MJ staring at him. "You going to see this movie too cool, we…"
"Percy, I think we have troubled them enough, let's go seaweed brain." Annabeth stated leading him into the cinema he smiled at Peter and MJ before turning around and talking to Annabeth. There was something about the two of them but he could not place it and didn't have the time to as the movie would be starting and MJ was dragging him into the theatre.
They were twenty minutes into the movie when both he and MJ went tense looking up at the screen.
"Is that?" MJ asked looking from the screen to Peter
"Sam." Peter agreed nodding his head, they had known her for a month and she never told them she was in a movie. Only now did he remember Mr Stark calling her by a different surname, she was a supporting character to the lead as she sat at a piano playing a song the leading star was sitting behind her watching her. Peter had to admit she could play really well and had the voice of an angel as she sang. She was really good, this person on screen was different to the girl he met at school and he wasn't thinking about her being deaf. Part of him wondered if it was the character she was playing but the other part saw the confidence in her like this is what she was born for. After the movie he and MJ walked out of the theatre and were talking about Sam how she was good and both of them agreed they had questions for her. Peter ended up deciding to go to the Avengers compound tomorrow after school to talk to her MJ had wanted to tag along and he had a feeling that by the end of school she would have talked her way into him agreeing to take her.
He was right, she had managed to talk her way into coming to the compound naturally Ned was wanting to come too after hearing MJ was going so he had managed to get Happy to come and pick him up, this would not be a problem if he had his license but he was still working on that. Happy was a little surprised that MJ was coming with them but everyone knew that she knew about his identity. They pulled up and he was surprised that Pietro greeted them, Peter still found it awkward around him and his sister mostly because they were intimidating. Peter led them to the lounge where they were stopped by Tony Stark which he was surprised at considering he was usually in his lab.
"Stop right there kid."
"Mr Stark." Peter greeted
"Where exactly do you think you are going with your friends?" Tony asked
"To talk with her, please Mr Stark what is going on? She could use some friends?"
"When she asks why you are here?"
"I have the Stark internship. Natasha could have invited us knowing we were her friends." Peter stated
"She is confused kid." Tony stated
"She does not look confused, I say she looks angry." MJ stated making Peter and Tony turn to see Sam enter the room and she did indeed look angry. Natasha was following her Sam seemed to freeze as she looked at them. Her gaze scanned over Peter, Ned and landed on MJ.
"Sam." Peter said giving her a small smile he noticed that one of her hands was clenched in a fist she turned on her heel and walked away from them
"Not happy at all." Ned stated
"Who are you?" Tony asked
"I'm Ned, Peter's best friend." Ned said pointing to Peter
"Now is not a good time."
"Mr Stark please tell me what is going on? I can take it. I want to help her. We all do." Peter stated indicating his friends.
"You should let them talk to her." Natasha stated
"What is it?"
"I found her in the vents trying to leave, she had some choice words when I pointed her back in. They could help her with what you are wanting." She added and Tony looked at her she never agreed to his plan but she never protested against it.
"Fine they can try." Tony waved them off "whatever she tells you, I hope you take discretion. She is a confused kid." Tony stated before walking off. Peter followed after Natasha with the others walking behind him.
"What is going on?" Peter asked
"She will tell you." Natasha replied leaving them at Sam's door before Peter knocked
"Isn't she deaf?" Ned asked and Peter saw the light switch on the side so he flicked it a couple of times it took several seconds before the door opened and they were greeted by Sam in shorts and a t-shirt with a less then pleased expression.
"What are you doing here?" she asked a bit too loud in volume.
"We were worried about you, can we come in." Peter asked
"I never get a say, do as you please." She said walking back inside Peter shared a look with his friends before entering the room.
"What is going on Sam?" Peter asked
"Surprised your teammates didn't tell you." Sam stated
"My what? I'm just an intern Ms Romanoff…"
"You're Spiderman, I know your scent." Sam stated and cringed before shrugging at their looks.
"But…"
"It does not matter, they don't believe me, you won't too."
"Try us, we might be able to help." MJ stated and Sam was looking at her, Peter found it unnerving how her brown eyes bore into MJ. She then began fiddling with the ring on her finger as she thought it over after breaking eye contact.
"What do you know about Greek myths?" Sam asked
"Like Zeus and Poseidon?" Ned asked
"Yes, like them and the other gods and goddesses…well they are real…"
"Like…"
"Don't compare them to the Asgardians, it has been a while since they cursed a mortal but they still do." Sam stated she was tired of hearing them being compared to the Asgardians from another planet. "Anyway the thing that the myths liked to document was how they would come down amongst mortals and you know…hook up. That part is true and is still going on…"
"You expect us to believe that they are…"
"I am the proof that they do, and I do not expect you to believe anything…you can believe what you want. The Greek gods are real so are the monsters from the myths…what I was fighting when you saw me. I have already talked to the others explaining this to them but they won't believe me and I can't lie and say they are aliens to make them feel better because my father decided to…"
"Father decided to what?" MJ asked
"Curse me."
"You're hearing?" Peter asked
"No that was my aunt. Half aunt…family is mixed up."
"Then what did you father do?"
"I can't lie. I was always terrible at it growing up but I learnt ways around it…now I physically can't but even this they don't believe. I can tell the truth all I like it will not help them understand or make them believe."
"Who is your father?" Ned asked
"Apollo."
"God of music and the sun?"
"When it concerns the sun it gets complicated…but medicine, archery, music and poetry." Sam replied
"That is why you were so good at archery?" Peter asked he remembered Clint commenting how good she was.
"So you believe me?" Sam asked looking at them.
"I mean it is a lot to take in, but Peter was bitten by a spider and got powers." MJ replied
"Then I need your help."
"Just asking, so you are not a vampire?" Ned asked her
"No."
"IS there vampires?" Ned asked
"There is monsters that will drink your blood, but they would probably eat the rest of you also. My world has been filled with monsters, monsters you cannot possibly imagine trying to kill me…I would much rather be facing a group of hellhounds then being stuck in this building. They are not believing me or giving me the chance to show them…they think I am being brainwashed by someone who is claiming to be the Greek gods, they think they are protecting me, but I need to be getting them ready to fight, I was put in their path for a reason, to get them ready but they are not listening to me. I need your help to convince them that I am telling the truth."
"How can we help with that, I mean they don't listen to me…we are just kids." Peter stated
"I have been fighting monsters since I was 8, I grew up a long time ago. I need to get them ready to fight monsters, I need to warn the others that there is an increase in numbers and that something is coming. I fear it is another war…"
"Stop, another war? Like the Chitarre or Ultron?"
"Not your alien wars, my war, the war that stopped the monsters taking over the world. When your friends were stopping the chitarre we were fighting to stop titans destroying Olympus. If they succeeded in destroying the gods, life on this planet would have changed; no one would be there to stop the monsters, things like music, dreams, and hope all lost. The streets would flow red with blood and humanity would turn on each other those that weren't killed by the monsters…but eventually all will die or be slaves but that would most likely not happen the higher ranking monsters usually use the lower ranking ones to do their bidding. The gods know trouble is coming, the nightmares have already started, trouble is coming and we need to be ready to fight it together."
"I take it you have a plan?" MJ asked seeming the boys were in a stunned silence.
"I need you to convince them that I need to go out, anywhere just out of this building…say its for my sanity. I don't care if they come I just need to get out." Sam stated
"Where do you want to go?" MJ asked
"I'm sorry but are we buying this?" Ned asked interrupting MJ and Sam talking to each other. This made Sam sigh, she looked around the room before holding out her hand, she only hoped this worked. She thought of her bow and was pleased to see that it formed in her hand Ned jumped Peter also jumped but to his feet so he could get a better look. Sam smiled as she looked over the bow in her hand her grip tightened.
"They took my arrows." Sam stated as she turned her bow over.
"That is a proper long bow, how do you shoot it." Ned asked getting up like Peter to look at it and Sam shrugged she had started off on a recurve bow but advanced to the long bow when she turned 13.
"What are these markings?" Peter asked noting several marks on it.
"Names." Sam replied
"Whose names?" Peter asked only to be slapped by MJ making him look at Sam she looked sad.
"My siblings." Sam replied turning away from them she ran her fingers over their names her hand stopping on Lee's. "Will you help me?" She asked turning back around to face them the three of them shared a look and Peter looked back at Sam so she could read his lips.
"We will try. But can't you just do that show them your bow?"
"This is the first time I have been able to bring it forth since being here." Sam stated that was why she was afraid to let it go, what if she could not summon it when she needed it.
"Then take it now and show them." Ned stated but as he said it the bow disappeared
"Where did it go?" Peter asked
"Looks like there is no easy way." Sam stated she couldn't help but look up. The others followed her line of sight.
"What are we looking at?" Ned asked but seeming Sam was not looking at them she did not see their lips move.
"I don't know…it is just the roof." Peter replied
"Never easy." Sam mumbled before she ended up collapsing onto the ground.
"Oh no, get help." Peter yelled jumping over to her with MJ, Ned stood there for a second looking panicked before he ran out of the room. He had no idea where he was going he was going to stop at the first adult he saw.
"Sam?" Peter shouted shaking her shoulder.
"She is deaf Peter, she can't hear you." MJ stated as she seemed to be assessing her to see if she had any injuries.
"Jarvis inform MR Stark." Peter shouted knowing that Jarvis was connected in every room.
"MR Stark and Ms Romanoff are on their way." The AI replied as they entered the room with Ned behind them.
"What happened?" Mr Stark asked
"I don't know, one minute she was looking up then she mumbled something and just dropped." Peter rushed as Natasha moved so she was kneeling next to Sam she began checking her over.
"Jarvis scan her?" Mr Stark asked
"All vital signs are normal." The AI informed them
"Then what?" Tony went to ask but Sam gasped opening her eyes as she did both Natasha and Tony went tense as her eyes were somewhat glowing yellow only for it to fade part of him thought he was imagining it. Sam pushed up from the ground jumping to her feet she grabbed her bag and started running.
"What is going on?" Peter asked running to catch up he noticed that she had her bag slung over her shoulder her grip tightened on the strap.
"Haven't you tried this already?" MJ asked seeming that she was heading for the exit but considering she was ahead of her she would not have seen her lips move. She noticed that they were the attention of Steve Rodgers and Bucky Barnes but she did not stop. The adults moved over towards them Tony and Natasha were following after her only for Tony to be called away by Jarvis. Sam ran to the door she managed to slip out of Steve's grasp as she made it outside. Sam took a deep breath breathing in the fresh air she held out her hands as they were in the sunlight before she started running again only to end up running into someone. She fell down but rolled so she was in a crouched position. Only to straighten up and smile as she recognised who it was that she ran into.
"Annabeth." Sam smiled
"Sam, we need you." Annabeth said grabbing her hand she began guiding her away only to be stopped by Steve and Natasha.
