Percy
That Tony Stark was too nosy for his own good.
Sure, Percy didn't like that the Avengers kidnapped him. But, he could get over that. Nearly every government agency in the U.S had a bone to pick with him. He could even tolerate torture, though he didn't like it. But interrogating his mother? That was where Percy had to draw the line.
He felt guilty that he had dragged his mom into this. He'd Iris Messaged her the day after they were officially made into Avengers. She wasn't too mad, but insisted that if anything came up he would tell her, which was a wish that Percy was glad to oblige.
Luckily, from what she'd told him, his mom had held her own against the self-proclaimed genius and at the same time not revealing anything important. The damage was done, however. Tony was starting to remind him of Leo on Tony's good days. On his bad days, a bit like Leo's evil side, if he even had one.
Of course, Percy didn't hate all the Avengers. Steve Rogers, Bruce Banners, and Clint Barton seemed genuinely good. Natasha Romanoff was working on it. And Thor, of course, was a god. You could never tell with them, though Percy recognized that the Norse kind was different than the Greek kind.
And as for getting a super hero name, well, that was just weird. He'd read some comics as a kid about Batman and Superman and stuff (which he hoped weren't real, Percy had enough problems already) and he did not want to wear spandex and tights.
The demigods had put Piper in charge of the suit making, since she was Camp Half-Blood's unspoken chief designing expert. Hopefully that meant no sparkles, though the mischievous look in her eyes made Percy nervous.
Maybe their luck would finally turn, and this would be the last they ever even heard of the Avengers! He was careful not to say that out loud, just in case the Fates were watching. Then they would laugh and yell, LOL, NOOB!
Annabeth nudged him. "Hey, are you okay? You're looking kinda murderous." They were doing cabin inspection together, and Percy hadn't realized he'd been scowling until she bumped him. "Yeah, fine." He said, trying to rearrange his face into a grin. His face muscles hurt, like they weren't used to making that expression lately. Annabeth smirked. "You're thinking about the Avengers, aren't you."
"Um… No." She laughed. "You are such a bad liar Seaweed Brain."
"Yeah, I am." Percy admitted. "When will we get a break? I'm tired of quests and dumb prophecies."
"Probably not until we die." Annabeth replied. "Also, you totally just jinxed us. Expect Rachel to come running in and spit out green smoke."
"Nooooo!" Percy said sarcastically. They both laughed.
Then they realized one of their youngest campers, Harley, was staring at them. "Um, hi." He said nervously. Percy jumped. For such a buff kid, Harley sure snuck up quietly. "Yes, Harley?" Annabeth said kindly.
"I have a message from Leo." Harley said. "He wants you to come to Bunker Nine." They looked at each other. "That can't be good." Percy said, and we ran off towards the forest.
Apparently, it could be something good. Leo had completed their steel weapons, complete with special accessories and little etched words in Ancient Greek or Latin that said, Made by Leo Valdez, Bad Boy Supreme. Percy didn't even know that you could say "bad boy supreme" in Greek. One again, Leo defied expectations.
Everyone's steel weapon was an almost exact replica of their weapon of choice. Nothing could replace Riptide, but Percy had to admit that his new sword was pretty close. Annabeth was grinning; she had her steel knife that was basically the same as the bronze one she had lost in Tartarus.
"These are amazing, Leo!" Hazel said, examining her new spatha. "Aw," Leo said, grinning like a Latino Santa's Elf. "You know I'd do anything to help my peeps. And me." He added as an afterthought. Leo didn't usually use weapons; his fire was most of the time his biggest help. It looked as if he'd made himself a new hammer, though. "You're gonna make Thor jealous!" Jason said when he saw it.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Piper said suddenly. "I've got the stuff for you guys, too. Let me go and grab it." She ran off, and they all stood there, feeling nervous. She came back in two minutes though, holding a bunch of different colored clothes on hangers. "I've got our costumes!" She said, handing them to each of us.
Percy looked at his. It was sea green, with a picture of a trident on it. There was a hood on it too so he could cover his face, plus he could tell that it was water proof, just in case he didn't have the time to dry his clothes. "I look like a burglar." Nico said, trying his jet black hood on and making a face. "On the bright side, if I didn't know you were standing there, I wouldn't have known it was you." Jason said. "How'd you make these so fast, Pipes?"
Piper shrugged. "I had to pull in a couple of favors in with my dad. He has a bunch of costume designs."
"One problem," Annabeth interrupted. Her costume was grey and had an owl on it. "Don't these sort of give away what we can do? Leo's literally has a flame on it."
"I was thinking that we could tell them what we could do, but not necessarily explain where we got them." Piper amended. "They'll probably just assume we're inhumans or something."
"They might do more than that." Percy said scowling, remembering Tony Stark. Annabeth squeezed his hand. "We could probably do that." She said. "They probably won't believe us even if they had a hint of who our parents are."
"Maybe not." Jason said. "These are pretty clear sighted mortals. They've met the Norse gods, after all, and battled aliens."
"True," Annabeth agreed. "But for now we won't say anything. Who knows? Maybe they'll never need us again."
She probably shouldn't have said that.
At first Percy thought she was right. He didn't hear anything from the Avengers or otherwise for about a month. Then he got a call on the Jackson's homephone. Percy winced as he picked it up, half expecting a monster to jump through the attic. "The Jackson-I mean Blofis residence." He heard Steve Rogers voice on the phone. "Percy. How've you been?" He nearly jumped out of his skin. "Um, fine. I'm great. Why're you calling? Did something happen?"
There was a pause. "Kind of." Another pause. Percy was starting to get impatient. "What happened?"
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has been compromised."
"Great! By who?" There for a long time, all he could here was static.
"By me."
For a second, Percy was too shocked to respond. "Explain, please." Steve launched into an explanation about this guy called the Winter Soldier, and apparently a hydra had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. It took Percy a while to figure out that Hydra was an organization, not a monster.
The story took so long that Percy had one hand on Riptide and was checking anxiously around to see if there was any monsters, but finally Steve said, "And yeah. I think that's it." Percy suddenly trusted Natasha Romanoff a lot more when he heard what she had sacrificed.
"That was an impressive story." He said finally. "Well, I think my mom's coming home soon, so I gotta go…"
"Oh yeah, of course." It took a minute. Apparently Steve was trying to figure out how to hang up. "You press the little red button." Percy prompted. Finally he hung up. Percy immediately turned on the shower until there was a little mini rainbow. He threw a coin in the mist and whispered, "Oh Fleecy, do me a solid. Show me Annabeth at Camp Half-Blood."
Annabeth picked up instantly. "What is it, Percy?" Percy told her everything that Steve had told him. "Well," Annabeth began. "At least we weren't included in that."
"Yeah," But at the same time he felt a little insulted. Did they thing that they were helpless teenagers?
He guessed not. Another six months passed. Percy was playing with his little sister. When he heard the doorbell ring, he gave her a baby toy and went to answer it. It was Tony Stark.
"I thought I told you to stay away from here!" He said angrily, and tried to slam the door. Tony's hand shot out to stop it. "Look kid, I don't want me to be here anymore than you do, but we've got a mission for you."
"Oh yeah? And what is it?" Tony paused, probably trying to figure out how to phrase it. Percy wanted to yell, 'I KNOW THINGS TOO!' Finally he said, "We're infiltrating a Hydra base. We need to retrieve a scepter."
A/N Dun dun duh! Percy and Annabeth are gonna be in Age of Ultron! The seven won't because I didn't originally plan that way. If you guys really want, I guess I could put them in. Anyway sorry if this wasn't great I was a little rushed. Also, I made the important events a little closer together instead of years apart. I think that would be better for the plot. Also I added a couple of paragraphs today.
So R&R! PLEASE!
