The first thing Fury said when he walked in the room was: "Someone please tell me who the pale kid is."

Nico scowled in response. "I'm Nico Di Angelo. And I'm not a kid."

Fury turned his attention to the Avengers. "I know it isn't the best time, but I want you to approach Peter Parker, a.k.a Spider man."

"S.H.I.E.L.D is recruiting local criminals now?" Tony asked wryly.

Fury ignored Tony's sarcastic tone. " Originally I was going to have Romanoff approach Parker, but now that we have Percy, we have another way of approaching Parker without alerting him of danger."

Percy gave Fury a blank stare. "Who's Spider man?"

Tony threw his hands up. "Kid, are you sure you're a New Yorker?"

Percy shrugged. "Hey, my godly aunt kidnapped me and I slept for like several months. And then I went into hell. I don't really have any time for news."

Fury gave Percy the run down. "Spider man, a.k.a Peter Parker. He goes to Midtown Science Highschool. He is in a relationship with Gwen Stacy. He spends his nights fighting off crime while wearing spandex."

"Spandex? Can you even fight in that?"

"Apparently he can."

"Can I bring Nico with me?" Percy asked. "He's my cousin."

Fury nodded. "As long as he doesn't ruin the mission."

Percy grinned. "A mission. It's like we're spies. Cool."

"It's a lot better than a quest." Nico pointed out.

"That's true."

(Line Break)

Peter Parker, as usual, spent his nights fighting crime. He was in the lower east side of Manhattan, slinging across the buildings. If he looked really closely, he could still see some damage from the Avenger's battle. Peter Parker ran across the rooftop, ready to sling across to the next building when suddenly, to Peter's point of view, shadows seemingly drew across and knocked into him.

He crashed into two people and when they stopped rolling, Peter was prepared to leave, but one of the boys shouted, "Wait!" Peter Parker stopped, waiting. "We just want to talk." The boy promised. He was taller than Peter and looked like a swimmer. He was wearing a faded orange shirt and Peter could only make out one word: Camp. The other boy who was standing behind him looked like a miniature version of death, pale and wearing all black. He was even wearing a skull ring.

"My name's Percy. Percy Jackson. And that's my cousin, Nico." Percy extended his hand.

Peter shook it. "I'm Spider man. But I guessing you already know that."

Percy cocked his head. "I heard you were Peter Parker."

Peter was immediately on alarm. "Who told you that?"

"A little birdy. Or a big one. Or do we just call him a pirate, 'cause I don't think Fury's a little birdy."

The smaller boy, Nico, rolled his eye. "Great, it looks like he's going to jump off the building."

Percy cleared his throat. "Um, actually, we're here because of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Peter raised an eyebrow, then remembered they couldn't see it. "S.H.I.E.L.D?"

"You know, Avengers. Tony Stark, Steve… I actually don't remember his last name. And yeah, a couple of other people."

"Tony Stark?" As a student at Midtown Science High School, Peter had learned about Tony Stark's clean energy. "Can I meet him?"

Percy nodded. "Yeah, that's actually why we're here. They want to talk to you." Peter finally took off his mask.

Percy asked a question that was very important to him: "How do you fight in spandex?"

Nico interrupted. "More importantly, what do we do now? I mean, we talked to the guy and they didn't tell us to do anything but that. So now what?"

Percy grinned. "Shadow travel."

Nico grabbed Peter and Percy by the arms and Peter felt the shadows gather around them.


Peter felt disoriented when they landed again."God, don't ever do that again." Mumbled Peter.

After he cleared his head, he looked around at his surroundings. Stark Tower. Tony Stark himself walked down the steps with a glass in his hand, filled with wine.

Peter Parker walked up to Tony Stark "It's a honor to meet you. I'm a big fan about your clean energy idea. It's amazing."

Tony cracked a smile. "A lot better than making weapons, Spidey. Why don't you tell me how you made those web slingers. Those idiots at S.H.I.E.L.D won't let me in on their little experiments."

Percy snorted. "That probably doesn't stop you."

"A few short seconds and you know me so well." Tony grinned. "So, Spidey, what's your secret. I want to hear from the mouth of the spider himself."

Peter stuttered. "Um well, the web fluid is pressurized at 300 psi and my web slinger is made out of stainless steel except for the turbine component which is made out of a block of Teflon, and the two turbine bearings are made of amber and fake sapphire. The wristlets and web fluid cartridges are mainly nickel-plated annealed brass."

Tony nodded. "Interesting. Continue."

"My web is pretty strong and it can go an estimated sixty feet. If I shoot it at a ballistic parabolic arc, it goes further. With the small turbine pump, I can compress the web so it can launch a strong, thin web. As it exits the spinneret, it's attracted to itself electro statically."

As Tony and Peter chatted, Percy's eyes glazed over. He snapped to attention when Fury walked through the door.

"Why did no one tell me Parker was here?"

"Well, maybe you should've told us where to take him." Percy replied, crossing his arms over his chest.

Fury walked down to Peter Parker. Peter stuck out his hand, but when Fury didn't shake it, he drew it away awkwardly.

"Hello, um, I'm Peter Parker."

"Yes, I know you are. But the question is: do you know what S.H.I.E.L.D is?"

Peter shook his head. "S.H.I.E.L.D stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division. The Avengers Initiative also steams from S.H.I.E.L.D. Do you know who the Avengers are?"

Peter nodded. "Who doesn't" Percy raised his hand. When Nico made no move to follow him, he looked at Nico strangely.

"Dude, you know about the Avengers? And you didn't tell us?"

Nico shrugged. "Dad made me go on some trips. And I had more things to worry about. You know, with Hazel." Percy nodded in understanding. Peter redirected the attention back to him.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"As you know, the Avengers Initiative was created to defend the world when the government couldn't. And anything said in here is classified. S.H.I.E.L.D wants to recruit you. You will work as an intern at Stark Industries as your cover. We also want you to keep up your late night hobbies. We have a feeling that there is something we are missing downtown and we want you to help us find out what. In return, we will make sure the police will clear your name. So, Parker, do you accept?"

Peter was at a loss for words. "Wow. Um, yeah. But can I tell my girlfriend? She already knows that I'm spider man, so…"

"You do understand that we are going up against a deity possibly more powerful than Loki and we will cause more destruction than the Battle of Manhattan. Once you ally yourself with us, you are an enemy of the other side. The more your girlfriend knows, the more danger she may be if the enemy decide to attack you personally."

Peter swallowed. "Yes. I understand." And the deal was made.


Wow! I really need to stop introducing new characters. Hehe. I could do so many spin offs.

Spin off 1: Original draft of Percy meeting Peter and Gwen on their date.

Spin off 2: Nico's adventure to find Percy.

Spin off 3: Clint/Natasha's mission before Percy in Las Vegas, involving a drunk guy and a basket of fruits.

Umm, that's all. Just a head up, I'm probably only going to post one more chapter before I leave for vacation. If I'm lucky, I'll write two. I'll be gone for two weeks. And yeah, that's it.
