Tony Stark
Stark Industries
One o'clock AM

Tony stared at his computer, rubbing his eyes and fighting sleep. He had lain awake for hours in his bed, thinking about what Nick Fury had said about Annabeth. If she was some sort of traitor, he had to know. He wouldn't be able to look at her the same again if he didn't get to the bottom of this. He was actually starting to like Annabeth, because she was one of the few people who understood every word he spoke.

"JARVIS, search up links for half-blood."

"Yes, sir." The British AI answered. There was a pause for a moment.

"Half-Blood: references to Greek Mythology, commonly used as a child of a Greek God and a mortal. Also known as a demigod. Famous examples: Hercules, Perseus, Theseus, Achilles."

Tony absentmindedly fiddled with one of his suits. "Try Percy Jackson."

"Would you like me to include News Reports, sir?"

"Knock yourself out."

"Perseus Jackson: was born in New York City, father unknown—"

"Tell me something I don't know, JARVIS. All that was included in his shield file."

"At twelve years old was considered a terrorist." A picture of a kid who looked suspiciously like Percy jumping from the St. Louis Arch into the Mississippi popped up. "Ninety-six percent match." There was another fuzzy picture that depicted a boy that was unmistakably Percy Jackson, a boy with a hat, and a girl with blond hair.

"Wait." A phantom spider crawled up Tony's back. "Freeze last image."

"Focus on top right, zoom in…"

JARVIS complied, and Tony nearly dropped the coffee cup that he was holding. "Look like anybody we know, JARVIS?"

"Ninety-two percent match with Miss Ch—"

"That was, uh, rhetorical, don't answer that. Close window." Tony had gotten a lead, possibly a solid lead. It looked like Nick Fury was right (though Tony was at a loath to admit that anyone besides himself could ever be right); Annabeth and Percy did know each other.

The half-blood part kept popping up. It was no coincidence.

It couldn't be possible that the Greek Gods were real. Except… how could they not be? Tony himself had helped a Norse god subdue his maniac brother. If they existed, it was very possible that two regions of gods could live in the same universe.

He decided to do as much research as possible on the Greek myths. It would be some private research, and there was no reason to tell Pepper about it. It would probably only make her worry.

Nick Fury
S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters
the next day

"How are we going to get these two kids to join the team?" Natasha asked.

Nick stroked his goatee. "I don't know. I don't think that we can use force anymore. I don't know how it is, but these kids are no novices in fighting. Quite the opposite."

"They're barely eighteen, but I suppose that doesn't make a difference anymore." Natasha said, pain flashing in her eyes. She knew as well as anyone that age didn't make a difference.

Nick shrugged. "We've seen that most of the time the impossible does its best to become possible."

Natasha nodded, not really listening.

"We can try the peaceful approach."

Nick sat forward in his chair. "I'm listening."

"What if we just invite them to dinner with the rest of the team?" She asked. "You know, call in Steve and Bruce and Tony, but I doubt that Thor will be able to come. Maybe we can convince them that we're on their side, and get them to join." Nick nodded.

"It just might work. The question is how do we contact them?" Natasha shrugged. "Chase's phone was the only thing that we could find in that area, and she threw that out. Jackson didn't have a phone either, which is really unusual for teenagers." Nick thought about that. "Well, maybe their camp director has a computer or something." He said.

Natasha glanced at one of the guys. He was playing Galaga. Natasha gave him the death stare. "I'm on it, ma'am." Galaga boy said. Natasha rolled her eyes. "I'll check to see if they've got any other devices in that area." She said.

Percy Jackson
Camp Half Blood

Percy stood outside the boundaries of Camp Half-Blood, waiting for Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, and Leo to come back from Camp Jupiter. Leo had returned about three months ago. After all this time, it seemed like he had never left.

A black sedan pulled up on the driveway. The demigods came out. Annabeth rushed to hug Piper and Hazel, and Percy gave a fist bump to the others. Leo grinned. "I missed my peeps! Chef Leo's gonna make you guys some tacos!" Everybody grinned.

" Chiron came out of the Big House. His face looked deadly serious. "We need to talk." He said.

Chiron had just received an email on his fake address, bBrunner you' . This was highly unusual. He only got emails as confirmation that their strawberry crops had been sold. They all crowded around the computer. The subject said, CONFIDENTIAL

Dear Mr. Brunner, It said. This is an email from Strategic Homeland and Logistics Division, Enforcements and Logistics Division. From our research, you have a connection with the one Percy Jackson.

"What'd you do this time, Percy?" Jason said jokingly. Percy didn't smile and kept reading the email.

We hope to have a calm meeting, without any violent interjections with or against him.

Sincerely,
Strategic Homeland and Investigation, Enforcements and Logistics Division (S.H.I.E.L.D.)

"What did you do?" Jason asked again. Percy sighed and explained. Hazel moaned and put her face in her hands. "Percy, you just upset one of the most dangerous government agencies in the world. Who knows where this could lead?"

"I think that he should go." Piper said, speaking for the first time. "This is a good way to develop trust. We did it basically the same way with the Romans." Everyone nodded. If anyone could convince a bunch of crazy spy people that they weren't violent teenagers, it was Piper. "But," She continued. "He shouldn't go alone. Who knows what kind of weapons these people have?"

"I'll go." Annabeth said. Percy looked at her gratefully. He didn't want to admit it, but he was kind of freaked out by everything that had happened.

"I want to go too." Piper said. Everyone looked at her. "What? I'm good with words. No offenses, but you guys aren't the best at negotiating. I can help if things get messy."

No one argued about that.

"Hey, I want to go too." Jason said.

That set off everyone arguing.

"SHUT IT!" Annabeth flicked a bead of sweat off her brow.

They did so, Leo looking apprehensive.

"Percy, Jason, Piper, Leo, and I are going to the meeting."

That set everyone off arguing again.

"You didn't let me finish!" Annabeth said. "Hazel, you'll use the Mist to disguise yourself. Frank, you'll turn into a small animal, a bird or something, and keep watch by the window. That way, if things get messy, we'll have backup."

"Wait," Jason began. "What about Nico? He deserves to come as much as anyone."

"I'll go and get Nico." Hazel volunteered. A few minutes later, she came back with her brother.

"So what's happening now?" He asked. "Wait, don't tell me. Percy got into trouble again."

"Hey!"

Nico began speculating. "So, Percy got in trouble with someone, and now he needs me and the rest of the seven to get him out of his messes."

"Since when are you an Oracle?" Piper asked, fighting a smile.

"All right!" Annabeth said commandingly. "Nico is going to hide in the bushes."

"Great." Nico muttered. "I love hiding in the bushes."

Annabeth continued as if no one had said anything. "If anything goes wrong, Nico can shadow-travel himself to wherever we're going to have the meeting."

Everyone murmured their assent. Annabeth was the best strategist they had.

"Remember, if the situation escalates, get out." Annabeth warned. "Percy and I are already on their radar. It's too late for us. But the rest of you are safe. We've been compromised together before. We can get out of it together. But when something goes wrong, and it will, because we're demigods, everyone leaves."

"Aren't you Captain Sunshine?" Leo grinned.

"I'll send the email." Percy rolled his eyes.

Natasha Romanoff
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters

Natasha received an email on shield's computer. She immediately brought it on to all of the screens.

"Sir, Percy Jackson has replied."

"Good." Fury said with satisfaction. "What did he say?"

"Paraphrasing? He wants to bring some of his own."

Fury scowled. "Tell him no. We don't need any more witnesses."

"He says he won't come unless he can bring them."

The Director contemplated. "Fine. Give me their names."

Natasha read from the screen. "Annabeth Chase, Leo Valdez, Jason Grace, and Piper Mclean." One of the agents was already typing the names into the computer.

"Piper McLean." He said. "Age sixteen, daughter of Tristan McLean. Mother unknown. Diagnosed with ADHD."

"Jason Grace, age sixteen. Son of Beryl Grace, hasn't been seen in fourteen years. Father unknown. Diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia."

"Leo Valdez: mother died in house fire, suspected for starting it. Last seen in Wilderness School, Nevada, two years ago. Father unknown. Diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia."

"Annabeth Chase—"

"That's enough, agent." Fury held up a hand. "We have all the information we need about Annabeth Chase. All have one unknown parent. Strange thing to have in common, don't you think? Apparently Annabeth Chase does know Percy Jackson. This meeting should be very telling."

They set the date of the meeting for two days later. Fury and Natasha looked at each other. "Who's calling Stark?"

"Not it." Fury said dryly.

Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. would be doing a lot of research. If these new kids were as talented as Perseus and Annabeth, there were going to be a lot of new Avengers.

Annabeth
Two days later
S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ

Annabeth had a bad feeling about this.

The rest of the seven had come to Camp Half-Blood to relax and take a break. Instead, she and Percy had roped them into yet another sticky situation.

They approached the building. It looked very high tech. There were so many security cameras, Annabeth doubted they would have missed an ant crawling up one of the windows. "Hazel?" Annabeth asked.

"On it." She replied. Hazel shimmered and disappeared. Annabeth knew they were actually walking right next to them, but Hazel's Mist looked so real. If it could fool a demigod, then it could definitely fool a couple of mortals. Frank saluted, then turned into a bird and flew off. Nico melted into the shadows.

There was a burly security guard flanking the doorway. Annabeth saw Percy's hand clench something in his pocket. Probably Riptide. However, Riptide wouldn't do any good against mortals.

"You kids got anywhere else to be?" The guard asked, raising his sunglasses.

"I'm Percy Jackson." Percy said, stepping forward. "This is Annabeth Chase, Piper Mclean, Jason Grace, and Leo Valdez. We're here for the meeting with Nick Fury." The guard raised his eyebrows. He spoke into an earpiece.

"Director? They're here." He turned to Percy. "Come in."

The demigods walked in. Leo's ADHD was going crazy—at least crazier than usual—and he was tapping one of the windows to see how strong it was. Annabeth gave him the most severe look she could manage.

A red robin flew to each window, following their progress. Leo raised his hand to wave and Frank but Piper slapped it down. "Geez, Beauty Queen." He muttered rubbing his hand.

They walked through the meeting house, receiving a lot of strange looks.

The first thing that Annabeth noticed was Tony Stark, playing something on his phone looking bored. Annabeth wasn't even surprised, after what she had heard him say to the eyepatch guy, who was currently sitting in a chair.

She studied everyone in the room. She saw some guy wearing a white lab coat, like they'd just pulled him out of doing a science project. She saw another super buff man, who was trying to hide a shield under the table but was doing a really bad job of it. And of course, there was Nick Fury, aka Mr. Eye Patch man.

Annabeth also saw a stunningly pretty red headed girl, but she was pretty in the way a viper was pretty. Finally, there was a guy who was polishing arrows with his shirt.

Everyone walked in cautiously.

"Oh, good they're here." Tony said. "Can I go now? I'm sure most of them already know me." He winked at Annabeth. She ignored him.

"Wow, you've got some muscles." Leo said to the buff guy. "What do you do, pilates?"

"Nah, he did time as a Capscile." Tony said to him. Annabeth shivered. She'd had nightmares about what would happen if Tony Stark and Leo Valdez were in the same room.

"Ah. Sup, Legolas." Leo nodded to the man with the arrows. "Loved you in the Lord of the Rings."

"I like him." Tony announced to the room at large. "They can stay."

"You're not the one giving orders here, Stark." The girl said.

Annabeth groaned internally. This was going to be a long meeting.

"Can you start by introducing yourselves? Because if we're joining the Avengers, than it would be helpful to know your names."

"Wait. The what, now?" Leo asked. Annabeth ignored him (she was getting good at it).

Most of the adults in the room looked shocked, excepting the one with the lab coat, who mostly looked relieved.

"You don't know who we are?" Tony asked, looking offended. "I mean, I knew the kid didn't know who we were—"

"Don't call me that."

"But I'd of figured you guys would have better common sense, being terrorists, and all."

Jason, Piper, and Leo all snorted at the exact same time. "Terrorist? Hey Percy, they caught us!" Leo said between laughs.

"We'll tell you later." Annabeth said quickly. They didn't want the Avengers to bust out their weapons. "So anyway, can you just tell us your names? We've been in Europe for a while, and kind of out of it." If you count being in Tartarus being out of it, Annabeth thought to herself.

"Sure," Arrow guy said. "I'm Clint Barton. You may know me as Hawkeye." They went around the room in a circle saying their names.

"Natasha Romanoff, or Black Widow."

"Bruce Banner. The uh, the other guy is the Hulk."

"Steve Rogers, or Captain America."

"Tony Stark, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, genius, Iron Man."

"Will you join the Avengers yet?" Tony said when they all were done. "Because they're keeping us here until you do, and I want some McDonalds."

The demigods looked at each other. "Can we go outside and discuss this?" Piper asked, using some of her charmspeak. "Joining the Avengers is a big thing, after all." The adults looked at Fury. He waved his hand as an affirmative answer.

They walked outside. Annabeth whistled the signal for the rest of the seven to come out in the open. About thirty seconds later, Frank, Hazel, and Nico appeared next to them. Luckily, there weren't any security guards to witness this, and Annabeth had instructed Leo to disable S.H.I.E.L.D.'s security cameras, which he did gladly. "Nothing's wrong." Annabeth said quickly to Frank, who was slinging his bow off his shoulder. "We just need to discuss some things."

In a hurried whisper, Percy and Annabeth told the rest of the seven who the Avengers were and what was going on. In the two days that they were waiting, Annabeth had done as much research as she could about the Avengers and what they had done to save the city. There was a shocked silence for a couple of moments when they were done. "They want us to join them?" Jason asked. "We're barely eighteen!"

"Well, not you technically." Percy replied. "They only want me and Annabeth so far, but if they find out how you can kick butt too, they'll probably want you to join eventually."

"Do we need to tell them who we are?" Hazel asked, looking pale.

"Not necessarily." Percy assured her. "But if we do, they probably won't be too shocked. They work with Norse gods, remember?"

"Norse gods." Piper said rubbing her temples. "Why are there so many gods? Don't we have enough on our plates?" The rest of the demigods nodded in agreement.

"But we won't so far," Annabeth said quickly. "Zeus hasn't granted us permission yet. They will probably just think we're really, really talented teenagers."

"I dunno." Jason still looked doubtful. "What if we have to do a quest, and they need us too?"

"If we refuse, they'll be tracking us for the rest of our lives." Percy reminded them. "This is the best way to keep our freedom."

"So are we in agreement?" Nico asked. "We'll join these Avengers until we have reason not to. All in favor?" Everyone raised their hands.

They walked in, including Frank, Hazel, and Nico. "JARVIS?" Tony asked nervously. "When did intruders enter the building?"

"Oh, don't worry." Piper said casually, waving a hand like it was nothing. "These are friends of ours, who are willing to join the Avengers as well. Their names are Frank Zhang, Hazel Levesque, and Nico di Angelo." She said to Tony, who was already pulling up his phone to research the names.

Percy swallowed, whose throat was suddenly dry. He had the sudden feeling that the Fates were hysterically laughing. He looked apprehensively at Annabeth, who gave a slow nod.

"Fine. We'll join your so called Avengers."

A/N Hey guys! I hope that you guys like this chapter, I was kind of rushing it. Has anyone seen the new Avengers trailer yet? It's called Avengers: Endgame. I'm soo excited to see it! Anyways, keep a look out for a new chapter with the seven as new Avengers!
