Tony P.O.V.
I woke up with my whole body aching. All I remember was being covered in water and then electricity crackling in my ears.
When my eyes adjusted to the bright light I saw that I was in the S.H.I.E.L.D. hospital wing. The room was blindingly white. Suddenly I heard a groan from the curtain next to me. I tried to move it at first but it hurt too much to make any movement. Finally I gathered all my strength and moved it. It was Clint in the bed next to me. He had his left arm wrapped in gauze from the elbow to the wrist. His forehead was bandages too and he groaned again.
"Clint it's me Tony." I said trying to get his attention.
"I want a sandwich. I'm starving." I knew there was hope after he said that.
I still can't believe an 18 year old kid beat us. The Avengers. Earth's mightiest heroes.
After about an hour a nurse came in and took our vitals. She told me I was going to be fine and if it wasn't for the reactor in my chest, I would have died. Clint was fine too, but he almost had a heart attack when she said he couldn't eat for another 2 hours. She also told us the rest of the team was going to be brought in because Fury wants to talk to us. No doubt scold us for getting beat up.
As promised, the rest of the team walked, well more like wheeled in. Nat and Cap were each in a wheelchair looking fine except for a few cuts and bruises. Bruce was fine but was wrapped in blankets. Apparently he was in an ice cage and almost got hypothermia. We talked about the kids fighting skills and where they could have trained, when sunshine himself walked in, note the sarcasm .
"My best team. Bested by two 18 year old kids and a baby." He said looking angry as always. "Where do I even begin." Then the prince of Asgard walked in looking grim.
"Well well Thor, you finally decide to show. You'll love this, the team was beat up by some teenagers and a baby." Fury tells him tauntingly. Thor's normally happy demeanor is replaced by a grim and serious one.
"Director. Those teenagers as you say are not by any means normal." He says. Well of course they aren't normal. They fucking almost killed us!
"Thor what do you mean? Are they Asgardian?" Fury questions. Thor shakes his head.
"No they are not of Asgardian blood. They are something more powerful. I cannot tell you what they are due do some ancient laws. But I can get them to meet with you. They will not be happy, but they will explain their heritage." Okay so now I'm confused. What are these kids?
Percy P.O.V.
We got to my mom's apartment safely thank the gods. We decided not to tell her about the incident involving those government agents. She had enough stress in her life.
It was already 6 so Annabeth and I decided to go back to camp. We hugged my mom and Paul goodbye promising to see them again soon.
We hailed a cab and headed to camp. On the way there we talked about the agents and how they were convinced I was a terrorist. When we got to camp, we paid the driver and passed the border. Everyone was already at the Dining hall eating dinner so we went and joined them. We ate dinner and decided to skip the campfire. It's been a long day.
We entered my cabin and Annabeth read a book while laying her head in my lap. I played with her hair with one hand and scrolled through my phone on the other hand. The gods helped create monster-proof phones as a gift for saving the world. Mine was blue with a trident where the apple symbol was supposed to be. Annabeth's was grey with an owl. Most of the Athena kids had the same phone.
Eventually we went to sleep. Of course I had to have a dream warning of the future.
I was in my dad's underwater palace. More specifically, the throne room. Dad was sitting on his throne with his usual attire; a Hawaiian shirt with khaki shorts and flip flops. Amphitrite was at his side looking as regal as usual. Her coral colored dress complemented her long black hair and her seashell crown looked like a masterpiece in itself. We had sort of gotten along after the Giant war. She had seen what Annabeth and I had gone through and sympathized us.
Dad saw me and smiled.
"Percy! Just the man I wanted to see." I laughed and walked closer to them. "Hey dad, Amphitrite," I acknowledged her bowing my head. She smiled and hugged me taking me by surprise. I got over my shock quickly and hugged back.
"Welcome back Percy." She said pulling away. Dad cleared his throat and we turned our heads toward him.
"Percy I'm afraid the gods have a sort of mission for you." He says frowning. Before I can protest he starts to speak again.
"It's regarding the people that tried to arrest you today. They are part of a government organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. Their group is called the Avengers. They protected New York from a rouge Asgardian god while you were in Greece. Another Asgardian is part of their group and requested we tell them of the gods. We want the seven to explain the Greek world to them so that they do not try to detain anymore demigods in the future. Hopefully after this they will leave you all alone." He explains. I sigh and nod.
"I guess. I mean they weren't much of a fight. Annabeth and I took them down." I say. He laughs and pats my back .
"Yes you did! Couldn't be more proud." He says and suddenly my vision begins to blur.
I wake up to Annabeth shaking me.
"Seaweed brain! We need to go to the Big House. Chiron wants us to go on our mission already." She says. I groan and reluctantly get up. We head to the Big House and she explains that her mother visited her in a dream too.
We arrive and see the rest of the seven there already. We greet each other and take a seat. Chiron begins to speak.
"Children as you may already know, the gods want you to explain our world to a group of mortals. Your parents visited you all and explained the situation. Now, Annabeth and Percy have already met them because they tried to detain Percy. You will all head to Stark tower and meet then there. Now off you go." He says and we all groan. We head to the van and Argus starts to drive.
"Wait so Annabeth, you and Percy met them already?" Piper asks.
"Yeah unfortunately." She proceeds to explain our encounter with them. I zone out and scroll through my phone.
I really didn't want to have to explain basically my whole life story to a group of mortals who tried to attack me. But what can I do, the gods want us to educate the idiots. I just hope they have food there.
