So far, Tony's day had been going pretty well. He'd never been able to go to camp as a child, so the whole experience was sort of new to him. The Athena Cabin was paired with the Apollo Cabin, but that changed every day. His morning had started with watching Barton boast about how easy the climbing wall was. The laughing started when the lava started pouring and Legolas, who was sitting gleefully on a ledge, got some pretty nasty burns on his ass. Tony wasn't laughing so much when it was his turn. Somehow he managed to make it up with only minor injuries. Next they went to the archery range. The kids faces lit up as they watched Hawkeye do his thing.

Soon enough, it was break time. A time that the entire camp got to do whatever they waned with whoever they wanted. Tony immediately set out to find Steve. They only had an hour until lunch, so Tony fully intended to let Steve know he wasn't dead yet and then go find Leo to take him to Bunker 9, but then he saw Steve with Percy and Annabeth sitting in lawn chairs on the beach and all Tony wanted to do was cuddle into his Super Soldiers side and never move. He ran to where they were sitting and leaned down to press a quick peck to Steve's forehead. Steve pulled Tony down into his lap and laughed as Tony tried to get comfortable. Just then, a little girl who looked about seven walked up to the small group.

"Hey, Hailey!" Percy said with a smile, "What's up?"

"Will you tell me a story?" she asked timidly. He laughed and nodded. A smile lit up her face, revealing that she had lost a tooth. "Hey, Everybody!" she yelled, all timidness gone from her voice. "He said yes!" Tony looked behind him to see a group of seventeen kids running towards them eagerly. They formed a semicircle around the chairs so they could see, like they had done this before. The youngest looked three and the oldest looked about ten.

"Alright, Hail," Percy said, "where do you want me to start?"

She replied immediately with "The beginning! Duh..."

"Hailey. You've heard the beginning a million times!"

"Yeah, but Kendallynn hasn't," she said, looking at the three year old and putting her hands on her hips. This kid reminded Tony of a young version of himself. As Percy and Hailey stared eachother down, a little girl with dark skin and afro like hair came up to where Steve and Tony sat. She looked about eight or nine years old.

"Are you really Captain America?" she asked. Steve nodded. Her face lit up. "You were my brothers hero! He used to talk about you all the time! He gave me all of his action figures right before he left. He told me to make sure I kept them safe for him for when I'd see him again."

"Where did he go?" Tony asked quietly because Hailey had won and Percy was telling his story.

"He died in the war," she stated sadly. Tony got off of Steve and sat in the sand. Steve picked up the girl and set her in his lap. She blushed and started giggling.

"What's your name?" Steve asked.

"Sadie Beckendorf."

Percy went on telling his grand stories of snake headed people and giant chihuahuas. "... and then, just as I thought we were never going to get around Cerberus and save my mom..." The lunch bell rang, letting the campers know they had to return to their cabins to wash up then report for lunch. The kids all whined. "I'll finish up tomorrow, I promise." They cheered and all ran off towards the cabins.

Tony stood up and said, "Wow. You have a great imagination. You should write a book!"

Annabeth laughed. "I wish that was his imagination... would've saved me a lot of scars."

"So you mean, you didn't make all that up?" Steve asked incredulously.

"Nope. It all happened about, uhh, six years ago... Yeah, six, because I was twelve." Annabeth replied.

The entire way back to the cabin, Tony thought about just how brave these kids were. As twelve year olds, they did more than Tony did in his entire life. He realized now why the young ones looked up to them. They should be the ones that America saw as Heroes, not the Avengers.
