Chapter Text

Percy had hoped that this field trip there wouldn't be an explosion. At least this one wasn't his fault. It was Peters.

Percy doesn't know who thought it would be a good idea to take the seniors of Midtown High to the Avengers Tower but here they were. Annabeth had been geeking out about getting to meet Tony Stark (who she swore up and down was a son of Athena) while Percy was just praying to have an uneventful field trip. The gods (and/or the Fates because both were reasonable options at this point) had decided to laugh at him and provide themselves with entertainment.

Half of the grade went with Tony Stark down to the lab (Annabeth included in that well). The other half stayed with Natasha Romanoff (who was scarier than Clarisse La Rue without her morning coffee) in the sparring gym. Natasha singled him out to spar with her younger sister Yelena (he swears that she is a demigod even in the five minutes it was clear that she had ADHD and some damn good battle instincts that seemed almost godly). Percy much to his surprise fared decently well against the widow. He also managed to terrify Flash, so that was a plus. However even being the son of a god who has nickname Earthshaker (why does his dad have so many titles) didn’t stop him from falling when an explosion rocks the tower. Natasha called for another Avenger, named Kate, before heading down below. Percy being the love-struck, reckless idiot he is decided to slip away and follow her. He will admit it was not one of his finest moments. He arrived at Stark's lab to see it engulfed in flames. Reacting on pure instinct, he uses his water powers to put out the fire. Now he should’ve been fine with the Mist hiding it, but the god’s really wanted entertainment because Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff could see through the Mist. Just what he needed.

Stark's eyes narrowed, "What’s your name kid?"

Percy kept his head held high because if he could repeatedly insult Zeus and live then he'll be fine, "Percy Jackson," he paused, "female."

Stark tilted his head almost as if he couldn’t tell whether to be impressed or offended, "Why female?"

"Well, you’re superhero name is Iron Man and the atomic symbol for iron is fe and another word for man as male. Thus, female is basically another way of saying Iron Man." Percy isn’t sure who taught him the atomic symbol for iron. It was either Annabeth or Leo, but he honestly doesn’t care it helped him in an insult . He glanced over and Annabeth had an exasperated expression on her face that couldn’t quite hide the pride in her eyes, so it probably was Wise Girl who taught him that.

Start blinked, "Very well please come to the Avengers Tower tomorrow when you get done with school. Parker over there," he pointed at Peter, who looks sheepish, "will be accompanying you as he needs to help clean up the explosion he made."

So now Percy was in trouble with the Avengers. How the Hades was he going to explain this to his mom?

Tony Stark sat down in the conference room with a weary sigh rubbing his hands down his face. Peter Parker had blown up one of his prototypes (Peters prototype not Tony's) and then this strange boy had wielded water to put the fire out. The rest of the team files in and sits down. Well all the team currently in tower. However he’s not seeing- "Where is Clint?"

"Up in the vents. What did you expect," Nat’s voice rings out laced with amusement.

Clint‘s head popped out for the vent overhead, leading to a startled yelp from Kate and Yelena immediately going to protect her. Clint and Nat both share a knowing look. Clint gets out of the vent to sit beside Thor, who is munching on Pop Tarts.

"So what caused the explosion," Yelena now relaxed again posed the question.

Tony leaned back, "Peter. No one was hurt. Thanks to this one kid." 

Kate piped up holding a slice of pizza Tony swears wasn’t there a second ago, "Was it that boy Yelena was sparring with?" 

Tony wasn’t even going to ask how she already knew. It was like her and Yelena were practically attached to the hip. "Yeah he wielded water and put out the flames."

Thor stopped eating his Pop Tart, "So he must’ve been one of the two new demigod I sensed." 

"I- Wait, did you just say demigod," Clint stuttered out.

"Yeah, you know half human half God," Thor’s reply was incredulous, almost as if he was shocked they didn’t know that. 

"But their myths," Clint protested.

"You have other myths among you," Thor's voice was cool. 

"No hold on. Can we rewind back to the part about new demigods? Who the hell is a demigod here," Wanda’s voice broke through. 

Thor blanked like it was obvious, "Kate and Yelena, of course."

Everyone stares at him for a solid minute and stunned silence before Kate and Yelena simultaneously shout, "What the absolute flying fuck?" 

“You guys didn’t know? I mean, I don’t know what pantheon you two hail from but I do know it’s not Norse,” Thor replies, opening another Pop Tart.

Tony runs a hand through his hair sighing, “You mean to tell us that not only are Yelena and Kate demigods, but Norse gods aren’t the only group of gods out there?”

Thor nodded, “Yes, Greek, Roman, and Egyptian.”

Tony was getting a headache from all this or maybe it was a 72 hours with no sleep but regardless. “OK meeting adjourned for now. We will reconvene in the morning to talk about the boy.”

“But it’s only 5 PM,” Wanda protests.

“Yes, but you’re giving me a headache.” Tony stood up and open the door, meet his wife Pepper standing in the doorway. 

“No honey, it’s the fact that you’ve been up for 72 consecutive hours.” Pepper was quick to correct him and wasn’t gentle about it either. “Now go to bed or I’m knocking you out with a horse tranquilizer.”

“Yes ma’am,” Tony to do as he was told she made good on her threats. As he headed to his room he couldn’t help thinking that even though two members of the team we’re currently having an identity crisis at least no one was climbing someone else like a tree. So all in all, it was a good meeting.

Peter has always been wary of Percy. The second he saw the guarded look in the other boys eyes, the scars littering his arms, and what appeared to be a brand on his left forearm. Peter knew Percy was dangerous, that he had lived through things that could’ve been on par with the Avengers themselves. That didn’t stop him from befriending Percy though. After getting to know him, Peter can confidently say that Percy is quite literally the personification of sunshine.

“I think I’m gonna die Peter. I insulted an Avenger. Oh gods I’m gonna die.” Percy appears to be spiraling, again, this is like the fifth time today. 

Peter suppressed a sigh, “Percy you are not going to die okay.” There was no way any one of the Avengers was gonna kill Percy, not after they saw him wield water to kill a fire.

Percy looked at him, “You sure man?”

Peter smiled placing a hand on his shoulder, “I’m sure.”

It wasn’t hard to see how Annabeth fell in love with this adorable goofball. Percy is cute, a massive bundle of nerves (normally but Peter was choosing to ignore the explosion for now), a bit of a rambler, incredibly shy if he doesn’t know someone (except for Mr. Stark apparently), the sweetest person ever (again excluding Mr. Stark). If Peter didn’t know any better he’d say Percy would dissolve in the rain like cotton candy. But Percy loved the rain he always looked alive in the rain. Maybe MJ was right Peter might not be straight.

“Hey Peter.”

“Yeah, Percy?” 

“You seem weirdly chill around the Avengers. Why is that?”

Peter froze trying to remember his lie, “I’m an intern at Stark Industries.” Peter hopes he buys the lie.

Percy’s eyes narrow briefly before it fades and his lazy smile returns, “Cool.”

Chapter Text

When Bucky came back to the tower after a month long mission with Sam and Steve, he was less than pleased to find out another teenager had joined the team. The kid didn’t seem too bad however, he was incredibly cagey about his past heritage. He also swore the kid was on drugs with his wild tale of jumping off the Gateway Arch and landing in a body of water. Also, the brand on the boys arm concerned him. How did the 17 year-old have a brand? Was he involved in something illegal? Bucky was honestly scared to ask.

Sipping some of his coffee after mission debrief, Steve said, “Apparently Kate and Yelena had an identity crisis while we were gone.”

Sam snorted, “Did those two finally get together?”

Bucky rolled his eyes, “One can only wish. It’s so painfully obvious that they like each other.”

“This coming from the guy who couldn’t tell I liked him for 100 years,” Steve smiles.

“I was brainwashed for most of it! You can’t blame me there Steve!” Bucky protests, while Sam cackles in the background. 

Clint chooses now to drop out of the vents with an audio recorder before running out yelling,”Pietro! Percy! I got it! I got the recording! Cap confirmed it! He likes Barnes!” Steve proceeds to run after him with Sam laughing his ass off before following Steve. Bucky sighs realizing Percy hasn’t even been here a week before causing chaos.

Alarms suddenly blare alerting Bucky that there is an intruder in a the building as a small boy appears from the shadows in what appears to be an aviator jacket. The boy mutters, “this isn’t Miss Jackson’s house.” 

Bucky activates his comns, “I’ve got the intruder Stark. I can handle him alone.” He turns to the teen growling, “Now who the hell are you?”

Nico, sadly, was not getting any of Sally Jackson’s cooking this evening. He sighs looking at the man with the metal arm, “Look I made a mistake. I wasn’t meant to be here.” 

The man scoffed, “I call bullshit. You teleported into a secure building son. You don’t just do that on accident.”

So Nico’s attempt at the diplomacy failed- well at least he tried. “Did you just call me son?”

The man looks at him, “This is your entire take away?” He sounds confused and like he doesn’t understand teens. 

“Yeah, sorry it’s just I haven’t heard it in ages,” Nico shakes his head dismissing the idea that this man could be from the 1940’s. “When I was a kid everyone in the US was saying it.”

The man tilts his head his guard visibly lowering, “Aren’t you like an adolescent?” 

“Physically speaking? Yes. Mentally speaking? No I’m from the 40s.” Nico was waiting for the confusion that usually accompanies that sentence. 

“Were you frozen in time too,” the man asks. 

Nico was fairly shocked that he hit the nail in the coffin. “Yeah the Lotus Hotel and Casino.”

The man tilts his head, “Is that owned by Hydra?”

Nico blinks, “Who?”

“Scientific branch of the Nazis.”

Nico blinks again, “What?”

The man nods, “I’m assuming that means no.”

Nico sighed, “Annabeth told me the Nazis were defeated.”

“The majority of it was except for Hydra granted they’re more Russian than German now.”

“Does this mean you were frozen in time?”

“Yes, cryogenically.”

Percy choose this moment to burst in through the door yelling, “He’s safe Barnes! Don’t worry!” 

Bucky turns around to face him, “I figured that out Jackson.”

Nico’s brow furrows, “Barnes?”

Barnes turn to Nico again, “You may call me Bucky.”

Percy looks appalled, “How come he gets to call you Bucky and I don’t?”

Bucky responds, “Because I like him unlike you, Jackson."

Percy‘s mouth drops in shock as Nico suppresses a small grin.

What the Hades? How did Bucky Barnes, the winter soldier, hater of all things new, quickly like Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades, who hates people? And how did he get the demon spawn to smile? Percy didn’t like this one bit.

Percy blinks out of a stupor, “Nico why did you shadow travel here?”

Nico looks at him like the answer was obvious, “I wanted some of your mother’s cooking. Also, I wanted to see Estelle.”

Percy nods, understanding his reasoning perfectly, “Yeah no that makes sense. You’re here so you might as well stay for dinner is cooking tonight. Wanda’s cooking so it’s gonna be good.”

Nico pulls out a Kitcat and opens it, “All right I’ll stay. Will would kill me if I shadow traveled so soon already. Also I wanna know what in the Tartarus all this is.”

While making peprikash Wanda was joined by Natasha without turning around Wanda greets, “Hello detka.”

Nat responds in Russian, “Hello my little witch. Did you hear that we are having a guest tonight for dinner?”

Wanda’s brow furrows as she continues stirring the pot responding in Russian, “No I didn’t. Anything I should know?”

Nat nods, “Barnes gave him the seal of approval.”

Wanda blinks, “The guest can call him Bucky?” 

At this moment, Percy and a tiny kid whose clothing screamed emo except for an aviator jacket walked in. The kid also looked pale as a ghost, and had eyes that looked as sunken in as a corpse. The small boy also held the same vibe as Percy. The kind of vibe that he’s been through more than he should and that he won’t hesitate to mess you up if needed.

Wanda was about to go into the kids mind when Percy bravely spoke up, “If you would please stop planning murder in Russian I would like to introduce you to my cousin Nico he’s staying for dinner.”

Nat looks over at them, her eyes flicking between Nico and Percy, “You look nothing alike.”

Percy shrugs, “We’re related on my dad’s side.” He rested the arm on the young boys head leaning on it. 

Nico scowls, “Jackson if you do not stop leaning on me, Estelle will no longer have a brother.” 

Percy immediately straightens looking, frightened, “got it.”

Wanda sighs, “How can you handle spices?” 

Nico grins, “I grew up in Italy, bring it.” 

Nat shakes her head, “Oh yeah, he’s doomed not as much as Percy but still doomed.”

Percy stutters out indignant, stubborn response that sounds like pure gibberish. Nico sports a grin that unnerves Wanda with the threat that grin held. “Annabeth is so getting told about this.”

Percy looks panicked, “No, please don’t Neeks.”

Nico shrugged, “I’m doing it and Will already knows all the embarrassing things about me that you do.”

Wanda burst out cackling as it’s clear who won the nonexistent fight.

Clint watched through the slits of the vents as all the Avengers filed into the dining room. He saw Percy‘s friend chatting with Barnes, without Barnes being annoyed. That duo may not end well. Clint opens the vent cover and slides out, the metal groaning as he takes a seat beside Pietro surveying the room. Wanda and Nat were being their normal self conversing and quiet Russian (thankfully not murder). Thor was staring at the new teen, wary of him, Kate and Yelena were in a heated debate about how both of them survived, Percy was trying to avoid getting dragged into the argument and was failing miserably, Tony and Peter were learning out about some tech thing, while Steve and Sam just looked at Barnes voluntarily talking to a kid shocked. Clint finally looked at Pietro and pauses. Pietro‘s eyes were bloodshot his peoples dilated.

“Wanda, I think your brother took something before dinner,” Clint spoke up still staring at Pietro intently. 

The whole room went silent as Wanda turned to Clint and Pietro, “Yeah. Yeah he did.” Wanda sighs, “He’ll be fine and if needed, we search his room for drugs and throw them away.”

Clint nods, “Very well.”

Thor turns to Nico, “You seem out of place here. Why?”

Nico picks at his food, “Because I’m not used to many adults being nice to me. Also, all of you are heroes and you’re a god Lord Thor.”

Yelena pipes up, “Percy do you collect strays?”

Percy chokes on his food as Nico cuts in, “You know you’re not the first person to ask him that. He took in a stray dog once.” 

“Its owner asked me to take it in! Therefore it wasn’t a stray!” Percy protests. 

“What about Tyson? Blackjack? Hazel? Frank?” Nico rebukes. 

Percy size falling silent for a moment, “OK you have me beat there.”

Wanda spots Nico picking at his food, “Is it too spicy for you?”

Nico shakes his head and starts to respond when Pietro interrupts, “Why is it called a double U when it’s comprised of two of V’s?”

Everyone turns to look at Pietro, forks halting midair as everyone sits in shock. After a few minutes Wanda stands up, “OK Pietro let’s get you to bed.” The two Maximoffs leave.

Kate breaks the silence first, “You know he has a point.”

Clint hates to admit it, but Pietro really does have a point. The naming convention of that letter made no sense and that knowledge will be keeping Clint awake all night now.

Nico‘s eyes flicker between Kate leaning close to Yelena, and Yelena looking at Kate like she’s her whole world. “How long have you been dating?” Nico’s blunt question rings out like a gunshot in the now silent room. 

Kate freezes like a deer caught in headlights as she feels Yelena stiffen beside her. “We aren’t dating.”

Kate swore she heard Yelena mutter, “Not yet” but chalked it up to wishful thinking when Yelena said, “Yeah we’re not dating. I don’t know what gave you that impression.”

Nico looked amused, “You two look more in love than Percy and Annabeth do and that is incredibly hard to beat. You cannot seriously expect me to believe you guys aren’t dating.”

Kate feels her cheeks heat up slightly, “We are being serious. The two of us are just friends that’s it.”

Nico is adamant, “Yet you’re blushing and she is looking at you like you’re the most important thing in the world to her.”

Kate turns to face Yelena seeing only her normal gaze. “She always looks at me like that.”

Kate hears Clint sigh, “For God’s sake just kiss already.” Kate didn’t have time to respond when Yelena’s lips were on hers in a gentle kiss. 

Yelena was praying that kissing Kate is a good idea. Kate briefly pauses before and kissing her back softly. Yelena pulls away first only enough to rest her forehead on Kate’s. “I’ve liked you for a while now little bird. I just wasn’t sure you swung my way.”

Kate smiles shyly, “I’ve wanted you for a while too.”

Yelena pulls Kate closer, whispering loud enough the resident asexual, Sam Wilson to hear, “And I’ve always wondered what those fingers are good at besides archery.” Kate’s face blushes the cutest shade of red. “You look adorable all flustered like that. Can’t wait to see how flustered I can make you.”

Sam gags, “Ew gross get a room you two.” 

Yelena laughs leaning back in her chair as she swings an arm around Kate, “Yeah yeah whatever Sam.”

Wanda walks back in Pietro no longer by her side, “Are you finally together?”n

Yelena nods as Wanda sits back down muttering, “Took you two long enough.”

Tony claps his hands together, “OK who wants to go play board games?”

Percy grins, “You’ll love this Neeks. We give death threats playing Monopoly. You’ll fit right in.”

A few hours later, Nico went home well, he just dissolved in the shadows, and everyone else went to bed (Kate was going to sleep in Yelena’s room) and Yelena can say that Nico absolutely fit right in and delivered threats that scared her.

“And that is how to Duat is sectioned off. Next time we will talk about Ra’s nightly journey through the Duat.” Carter Kane’s voice rings out, “Class dismissed.” 

As the class files out, Carter hears a voice in his head, one he hasn’t heard in a year, Hourus- The time has come to save the world again. You’ll need to be my host again soon Carter Kane. 

Carter freezes momentarily before packing up his stuff. He turns to leave and is greeted by a solemn looking Sadie and a cat that looks suspiciously familiar. “What do you need Sadie?”

Sadie takes a deep breath as she walks into the room setting the cat down, “We need to talk.”

The cat transformed into Bast just like Carter suspected. “Talk about what?” He asked concerned. 

Bast stretched out the, “The fate of the world.”

Carter paled as Sadie sighed, “Has Horus contacted you yet?”

He nodded, “Yeah I was contacted. I take it you were as well?” Sadie nodded as he turned to Bast, “Why are they talkative again?”

Bast looked down sighing, “Because Apophis is free again and it’s just up to us to stop him.”

Chapter Text

Annabeth listened politely as Percy caught her up on the events that transpired last night. They walked through the locker filled hallways of Midtown High on the way to Spanish class. Her mind caught on one detail of the story, "Wait.... how can Pietro get high with his super speed? Wouldn't he have a faster metabolism rate that would prevent him from getting high?"

Percy just looks at her, "That's the entire thing you're focusing on?" He sounds dumbfounded.

MJ pats him on the shoulder, "That's how I feel with Peter all the time.

Peter pouts behind MJ, "Oh come on I'm not that bad."

MJ laughs, "I'll let you lie to yourself."

Percy sighs, “I feel like you should be focused on the fact that Nico now knows I’m an Avenger and will be telling the entirety of camp.” 

Annabeth shrugs, “I’m pretty sure Chiron already knew and just didn’t tell anyone.”

MJ frowns, “Chiron? Isn’t that like the centaur that trained heroes from Greek mythology?” Percy nods before MJ continues on, “Then why are you talking about him the present tense?”

“Because that’s the camp name of our activities director.” Percy quickly came up with the believable sounding lie.

MJ nods before pausing, “And why would a camp need to know you’re an Avenger?”

Annabeth decides to intervene before Percy can dig himself into a hole, “Because we are there every summer and it’s like a second home to us. We don’t want them to worry if Percy doesn’t come back this summer.”

MJ looks at her for a moment as if trying to see if she’s lying before relenting, “Huh must be nice. I’ve never really had that.”

Annabeth was saved from responding by the bell signaling 2 minutes until class. They all rushed to Spanish class and sat down at their desks in the windowless classroom where there was a tongue twister in Spanish written on the whiteboard.

Percy’s dyslexia was working overtime. If he didn’t know any better he’d say that his dyslexia was on Adderall. He honestly didn’t understand why he couldn’t have taken Greek or even Latin instead. He knew Midtown offered Latin so why wasn’t he allowed to take it? And yes he understands Ancient Greek perfectly so how hard could modern Greek possibly be? Sadly though he was in neither of those classes and was instead stuck learning Spanish. The letters on the whiteboard looked unintelligible. He leaned closer to Peter who sat beside him whispering, “Can you write that down for me?” 

Peter turns to Percy confused as he whispers back, “I can. May I ask why?”

Percy grimaces, “I’ve got dyslexia and I can read your handwriting almost always. I can’t read his it looks like the letters are dancing currently.” 

Peter lets out a soft noise of understanding as he copies the words on the board, “Yeah I’ve got you. Do you want me to do it for the majority of the class so you can actually read what he writes on the board?” 

Percy nods relieved, “Yes please. Thank you I have a friend that can teach me how to say the words and what they mean but writing them and reading them isn’t something he can help me with.”

Peter smiles sliding the piece of paper to Percy, “Of course it’s no problem. You want me to keep this a secret?”

Percy nods again as he looks at the paper, “What’s this mean?” 

Peter opens his mouth to respond as the Spanish teacher Mr. Greene starts his lesson, “On the board is a Spanish tongue twister. Now I want everyone to read it.”

That evening Steve watched as Peter helped Percy with Spanish homework. Steve turned to Tony, “I don’t think you ever told me what Percy’s deal is?”

Tony sips his whiskey, “The seniors of Midtown High toured the tower a little over than a week ago. Peter tried to modify one of his prototypes and it blew up setting part of my lab on fire as well as shaking the tower. Percy was in the training gym with Nat and was apparently sparring with Yelena when the prototype blew. He followed Nat down to my lab without her knowing and saw the fire. I don’t know where he found the water from because the only source of water in the lab was the moisture in the air and the broken sink. He flicked his wrist up and the water moved like it was obeying him and he directed it to the fire putting it out with just as much water as needed. He didn’t even leave any puddles on the floor. I turned to look at Nat to see if she saw this too. She did and when I turned back to Percy trying to figure out how he did it he looked shocked which gave way almost immediately to confusion before his face settled into defiance. I’ve had JARVIS look into his background and past and it doesn’t look that good.” Tony finally pauses pulling out his phone and rapidly typing before sliding the phone over to Steve. “He has been expelled from numerous schools and has been accused of leading a cult due to his ‘kidnapping’ at the age of 12. He was also involved in the break in and subsequent disappearance at Westover Hall. Not to mention multiple other incidents surrounding him.” 

Steve looks through the compiled electronic file before setting down the phone, “You don’t sound like you believe the kidnapping tale.”

Tony nods in confirmation, “That’s because I don’t. I know Thor gave his seal of approval and said he already gained the favor of the gods and had proved himself worthy but I don’t know. There’s too much inaccuracies. Not to mention Thor telling us he was a demigod but not whose child he is.”

Steve glances back at Percy his gaze lingering on the exposed brand on his left forearm and the nearly faded white streak in his hair, “So why let him on the team?”

Tony takes another sip of his whiskey, “Because I was outvoted. Not to mention I feel like we can protect him from the things he got mixed up in.”

Steve nods solemnly, “Then that’s what we’ll do.”

Rachel Dare felt a sense of dread that unmatched anything she had previously felt as she finished a painting. She set down her paint brush stepping back in her well lit studio. She had zoned out painting and now fully looking at it she saw a man in a blue and silver bodysuit dead on the ground by the rubble of a fallen pillar with a Minotaur standing over him glaring at a women with a white bloodied bodysuit on. Rachel cleaned out her paint brush disturbed but not to terribly surprised at the painting she had created. She slipped on her jacket walking outside and whistled. Mrs. O’Leary bound out of the shadows wagging her tail. Rachel smiles softly and scratches behind the hellhounds ear. “Can you take me to camp girl? I got a feeling that something big is coming.” The dog barked as Rachel climbed on her back. Mrs. O’Leary shadow traveled into Camp Half Blood. 

Rachel gave the hellhound some treats before climbing off and walking to the dining pavilion where dinner was in session. Chiron noticed her first and stood walking up to greet her, “Rachel dear we weren’t expecting you. Please come sit.” 

She followed Chiron as her head started to feel foggy and she felt the spirit of Delphi take over. In a voice that was both hers and thousands of others at once she spoke, “The barriers have fallen. And the monster have come calling. The pantheons have come together. Leading to a chaos no one person can weather. Only both mortals and half bloods divine, will be able to stop the end for another time.” Rachel blinks just barely noticing Chiron’s concerned face before she passes out.

Chapter Text

“Hypothetically, how much information can you provide in terms of demigods? Specifically Percy Jackson.” Tony asked Thor during one of Thor’s visits to the Tower. 

“I have heard the tales. He is rumored to be stronger than me and is the warrior of Olympus. The Champion of the Gods. The defeater of Kronos and Gaea. Monsters are known to tremble at the mere mention of his name. He bore Achilles curse and lived. He is one of the great Greek demigods. He was offered godhood and declined. He is known to insult Zeus and live to tell the tale.” Thor responds.

Steve blinks, “So he’s powerful then?”

Thor nods, “He is. Perseus Jackson if angered could take down the entire Olympian council.”

Tony visibly pales but attempts to maintain his normal bravado, “So we keep him calm?” 

Thor smiles softly, “And keep his girlfriend safe.”

The pair nods before scurrying away as Nico Di Angelo materializes beside him, “You undersold him.”

Thor looks at the son of Hades, “They didn’t know he could destroy the entire world if pushed too far. Not when he’s already come incredibly close in the past.” 

Percy was cornered by Yelena and Kate in his room. “Look I don’t know who your godly parent is either of you!” 

Yelena pouts, “Do you know a place we could figure that out?”

Percy frowns thinking, “I guess I can get you two to Camp Half Blood. If you’re not Greek then you’d be Roman so we can quickly get you to Camp Jupiter from there.”

Kate beams, “Thank you Percy.”

Percy nods, “No problem just don’t be shocked when people asked how you survived without knowing you were a demigod through your teenage years.” Percy whistles for Mrs. O’Leary. The large hellhound comes barreling through the shadows leading to Kate yelping and Yelena drawing a gun. Percy hold his hands out as Mrs. O’Leary attacks him with kisses, “Woah woah missed you too girl. It’s okay Yelena for one your gun wouldn’t hurt her and for two she’s friendly. This is Mrs. O’Leary my pet hellhound.” 

Kate frowns, “I thought hellhounds were dangerous.” 

Percy shakes his head, “Normally they are but she’s

friendly. I would call Blackjack the Pegasus who I rescued when I was 13 but I don’t have donuts or the patience to deal with him.” 

“I don’t even want to know.” Yelena mutters.

“I have a feeling we absolutely will by the end of this.” Kate mutters back. 

Percy gets on Mrs. O’Learys back, “Okay climb on you guys.”

The couple climbs on as Mrs. O’Leary shadow travels to Camp. As the dining pavilion comes into focus Percy hops off helping Yelena down as Kate loses all of the contents of her stomach. Percy drew some of the water from the lake to clean Mrs. O’Leary off and rinse the vomit off of the grass. “You good now Kate or do I need to get Will to make you a nausea suppressant?” Percy asks helping Kate down as the hellhound heads back to the Underworld. 

Kate still looks queasy and used Yelena to stay standing up, “Would the suppressant be safe?”

Percy nods glad that no one is currently out in the dining pavilion, “It is and it tastes better than some of the stuff Coach Hedge gave us on the ship. I still maintain some of that was not standard sayter medicine.”

Yelena looks confused but doesn’t say anything about her confusion, “Yea she’ll need the suppressant.”

Percy starts walking to the medical cabin, “Of course. Follow me. Oh and feeling out of place after shadow traveling for the first time is normal. However I don’t think throwing up is normal. I’d have to ask Nico.”

The trio arrives at the medical cabin and Percy opens the door shocked to see Rachel passed out on one of the cots and Chiron looking more concerned than when Thalias tree was dying.

Percy looks at Chiron scared for his friend, “Chiron what happened?”

Chiron turns to Percy at the question taking in the two adults behind him, “Perseus it’s good to see you again my boy.”

Percy walks closer to Rachel before getting intercepted by Will, “Don’t Percy. We don’t want to crowd her.” Will finally looks towards the adults hanging by the door and sees the green complexion of the one leaning against the women in a combat outfit. “Who did you bring Percy and do I need to grab a nausea suppressant?” 

Percy turns to the two adults finally looking away from Rachel, “Yes please. Chiron Will the one leaning is Kate and the one supporting her is Yelena. Both of them are unclaimed demigods. Neither of them knew they were demigods until about 2 weeks ago.”

Chiron hums softly, “Are you certain they are Greek?”

Percy shakes his head, “No they’re either Greek or Roman. Lord Thor said they weren’t Norse and the Egyptian Pantheon doesn’t have demigods just wizards.”

Chiron nods, “Very well. Them surviving without knowing they’re a demigod is perplexing to say the least. Mrs. Kate where exactly did you grow up?”

Will hands Kate a suppressant, “Drink this before you answer it will help with the nausea.”

Kate nods downing it and her complexion gets visibly better, “I grew up in New York my whole life why?”

Percy frowns ,”Do you think my cluster of childhood and the fact I’m a child of one of the Big Three helped hide her scent from the monsters?” 

Chiron thinks for a moment, “It’s a possibility. Ms. Yelena where did you grow up?” 

Yelena shrugs, “A lot of places. I grew up in Ohio for a minute when I was young. Then moved to Russia and lived in a facility in the sky until I was 18 and then moved around a lot for missions.”

Will leans against a counter, “That explains why monsters never found you.”

Yelena crosses her arms, “So who is our god parent?”

Chiron smiles kindly, “We call them godly parents dear and we don’t know yet they have to claim you. If you’re Greek than it shouldn’t take too long.” As Chiron finished speaking a gold glowing lyre symbol appeared over Kate’s head. 

Will grins, “Looks like you’re my sister then Kate.”

Kate looks up confused, “Huh who is that?”

Will sits up, “That’s Apollo my godly parent and apparently yours two. He’s the sun god as well as the god of archery, poetry, prophecies, and healing. That’s why I’m the head medic here at camp. I’m also the head counselor in the Apollo cabin.”

Yelena frowns, “So who’s mine then?”

Chiron looks at her, “You must be Roman my dear. I’ll IM Frank and Hazel and we can get them to come here so that way your godly parent can be found.” Chiron turns to Will, “Can you get Nico and tell him his sister is going to be coming over?”

Will nods leaving the cabin as Percy uses the water from the sink to create mist and throws in a golden Drachama, “Hey Iris can you connect me to Hazel Levesque please?” The golden coin disappears as one of the Roman Preators appears through the mist. 

“Hey Percy. What can I help you with?” Hazel asks feeding Arion a golden nugget. The horse neighs and Percy recoils back shocked, “Your horse seriously needs to learn some manners. That’s just vile.” Percy takes a minute to collect himself, “Anyway can either you or Frank come to the Greek camp? I’m pretty sure we’ve got a Roman demigod.”

Hazel nods, “Sure I’ll head over there now. Do they want to join the legion?” 

Percy shakes his head, “No she’s already got prior commitments.” 

Hazel nods hopping onto Arions back, “What’s her name?” 

Percy motions to Yelena, “That’s Yelena she’s the Roman one and the one beside her is Kate she’s a child of Apollo.”

Hazel looks thoughtful, “I’ll see you in five minutes.” 

Percy nods, “See you in five Hazel.” He waves a hand making the mist disappear. “Okay Chiron what happened to Rachel? You’ve got five minutes before Hazel gets here to explain.”

Chiron looks between Percy and Rachel as Will and Nico slip back in.

“Miss Dare arrived last night on Mrs. O’Leary and delivered a prophecy before passing out.” Chiron answers Percy as Will hands Nico a KitKat and goes over to check on Kate making sure there are no more adverse effects from the shadow travelling. 

Nico taking the KitKat and avoiding Will’s well deserved glare pipes up, “What’s the new prophecy Chiron?”

Chiron sighs looking ten years older than he did yesterday morning, “The barriers have fallen. And the monster have come calling. The pantheons have come together. Leading to a chaos no one person can weather. Only with mortals and half bloods divine, will be able to stop the end for another time.”

Percy runs a hand over his face, “Can I have one normal non world ending year for once?” 

Will shakes his head, “You’re Olympus’ Champion what do you think?” 

Percy groans as he leans against a wall. Hazel walks in, “Okay let’s figure out who your godly parent is Yelena.”

Yelena straightens, “How do we do that?”

Hazel smiles, “For Romans normally you have to prove yourself in combat-“

Yelena interrupts, “I’ve done that so many times I think I’ve got it covered.”

Hazel chuckles, “Good that means that since you’re now in the presence of a Roman Preator your godly parent should come to visit and claim you.”

They all wait a few minutes before a Goddess appears in the medical cabin. Everyone besides Yelena and Kate kneel. The goddess smiles, “None of that please. Especially from you Perseus and Nico. You’ve been so good to Reyna.” 

The group rises as Hazel breaths out, “You’re Bellona.” 

She nods, “I am. And you Yelena Belova are my daughter. I am so proud of you. You’ve survived so much and o cannot wait to see what else you accomplish my dear.” 

Yelena nods looking teary eyed, “You are?”

Bellona nods, “I am I apologize for never meeting you before but gods are unable to interfere in mortal affairs.” 

“Unless you’re Juno.” Percy mutters bitter.

Bellona chuckles, “Unless you’re her. Now I can’t stay much longer but know that you’re important to the new prophecy Yelena. Keep making me proud my dear.” She disappears in a plume of smoke. 

Hazel turns to Percy, “What new prophecy was she talking about?” 

Percy sighs, “Another one that makes my life so much harder. I’d say go back to the legion I’ll IM you if I need help. Tell Frank I said hi.”

Hazel smiles softly, “Of course I’ll see you and Nico at the Big Three Meeting next month.”

Chiron nods, “Thank you again for coming Hazel grab some strawberries on your way out.” Hazel nods as she walks out. 

Nico frowns, “So do I need to do Underworld spying again?”

Percy looks down, “If you could that would be appreciated but you don’t have too Neeks.”
