"Tony,''Steve called. ''You really, really, need to come look at this.'' He was standing in front of one of the newly installed flat-screen TVs watching the news. ''Crap, this looks like a disaster,'' Tony sighed as he reached for his phone. ''I was hoping for at least a couple days of rest before we had to fight another monster.''
''What the hell is that ?''
Tony jumped at the unexpected sound of Bucky's voice while Steve remained unfazed, used to his boyfriends habit of approaching people silently from behind.
''Dunno,but it looks big,bad 'n evil so destroying it is a must.'' He sent out a message to almost all of the Avengers, (Bruce was in Florida, overseeing a scientific project for SHIELD, and Sam was on vacation) telling them to meet outside near the front door fully armed and ready. After safely stowing his phone away, he ran and threw himself out of the window that JARVIS had so thoughtfully opened for him, calling the Iron Man suit to him as he fell.
In under ten minutes everyone was standing in full getup by the door, everyone except for Clint. ''Nat where is Clint ?'' ''I think that he's somewhere on in the ceiling of the 41st floor but if you want to find him you'll have to look for him yourself.'' Stark's eyes grew wide as he gasped ''The ceiling?'' ''Yeah duh, he's in the vents, where else would he be? And Steve I think that you're going to have to find Clint before Stark has a heart attack."
(-_-)
Tony fumed as Steve went to look for Clint, mad that he had never known about his habit of 'nesting' in the vents of his precious building. Bruce was surprised that Tony didn't know, the rest of them were aware of Clint's strange quirks. After all where did he think that Clint was whenever he dropped down from the ceiling.

"It took the Avengers all of three minutes to find the problem, a whole street was being demolished by a group of what looked to them like a herd of dragons. However the dragons wasn't even the strangest part of the scene spread out in front of, the strange part were the people fighting teens that looked to be about eighteen (give or take a few years) all dressed in ancient looking Greek and Roman armor armed with spears, swords, shields, and daggers as well a weasel carrying a bow and arrow. Bucky was suddenly flung to the ground by what looked like a girl on a horse, although she was going too fast for him to see her clearly, just in time to see a a ball of what looked like spit melt the wall behind him. Perfect, He thought, we have to deal with a group of kids that looked like they were more competent than we and, they had already taken out nine of the dragon things and our team, 'the earths mightiest heroes' had trouble fighting two of them.
(-_-)
Natasha dodged the projectile acid spitball and slashed at the drakons neck however her blades didn't even scratch its skin, she looked at Annabeth who was fighting next to her, noticing that the bone blade of her sword penetrated the drakons thick, armored skin. Natasha swore under her breath"Di immortales." Tossing her weapons away she pulled two silver-bladed daggers out of her boots and resumed her attack. Annabeth noticed that Natasha's blades sliced through the thick skin of the drakon almost effortlessly but didn't stop to ask her about is, she had more important things to think about.
(-_-)
Bucky and Clint stood opposite each other armed, respectively, with a sniper rifle and a bow trying to kill the drakons but their bullets and arrows seemed to do nothing but anger the beasts.
(-_-)
Tony and Thor flew above the drakons shooting them with their respective weapons although only Thors lightning bolts seemed to be able to do any sort of damage to the drakons, scorching their skin and denting or fracturing the metallic, shimmering scales of the drakons skin.
(-_-)
The two separate teams fought the drakons with relentless persistence, trying to contain the drakons destruction to a single city block, so as to reduce the number of casualties.
After they had finished with the drakons, turning them into large piles of golden dust, the two groups stood together on the ground covered in sweat and grime from the battle.
The kids in battle armor fared well compared to the team of superheroes, Nats hair was singed from contact with a drakons acid spit, Tony had snapped his left wrist, Steve, whom Bucky was fretting over, was a bit cut up but he was going to heal fine but Clint and Thor had fared worse than the rest of the Avengers. Clint was unconscious and Thor's arm looked like it was barely holding together. Annabeth walked over to him, making the first move between the two teams, holding a flask of Nectar, ''If you hold still I can fix your arm,'' He did as she commanded and she poured the contents of the flask onto his arm, Tony watched in shock as the skin and muscle began to regrow at a slow, but steady, pace.
The day was just getting stranger and stranger, the group of kids came over all drinking out of similar flasks all looking slightly battered but grew stronger with every sip of Nectar they were drinking. After a few moments Tony came out with a profound ''Who the hell are you?" The group huddled together conversing in Ancient Greek "JARVIS can you translate for me?'' ''Of course,sir." Through JARVIS I could hear what they were saying ''Should we tell them right now-'' The kid wearing a tool belt cut her off ''Wait he's listening" he pulled what looked like a remote out and pointed it at Tony's suit, with a click, suddenly JARVIS went silent. 'How the hell did he know that?' Tony thought to himself. After several moments of angry conversation in Greek the blonde girl said "We will tell you who and what we are but only if we can discuss it in a private area.'' This at least was a simple request. Natasha, who had been listening intently to their conversation, stepped in "Fine we can talk in Avengers Tower, top floor.''The girl nodded "We'll meet you there." The boy with black hair next to her whistled an ear piercing taxi cab whistle while the blonde boy focused and the tall one concentrated and, turned into a dragon. ''We can take Thor and that one.'' She nodded towards Clint than climbed on to the dragon. Thor slung Clint over his shoulder and climbed onto the dragon behind the girl just before it took off. The blonde boy and a girl with choppy brown hair climbed onto a horse that looked like it was made out of clouds, while the boy climbed onto a Pegasus that had landed in front of him not long after he had whistled, and muttered something to it about doughnuts, the boy climbed on a gold dragon and the girl with piercing gold eyes rode away on a horse that was too fast for anyone to see properly.
