Wanda's POV

I watched, confused, as Percy printed to the pool. Without even pausing keep performed at perfect dive.I waited for his head to come back above the surface, and waited and waited, before I knew it it had been a full minute and he hadn't resurfaced.

"Someone needs to help him! He's been underwater too long!"I shouted, but was only met with the sound of laughter from the other demigods. "Why are you laughing?"

Just then water started shooting out of the pool, before I knew it all of us were soaked. No, all of us but Annabeth. I looked towards the pool and I saw Percy standing on top of the surface of the water. He was laughing his head off.

"Well that was fun!" The boy said through his laughter, I realize that he was completely dry.

"How are you still dry?"I asked him

"I'm the son of Poseidon." he said as if this explained everything. I was about to question him further but Percy then calmly flicked his wrist and all of the demigods dried out.

"Why did why did you drive them off and not us?" Tony complained.

"It's simple," Percy you replied, "they are my friends, and you are the weird people who kidnapped us." Percy didn't sound mad when he said this, she sounded as if he was just stating a simple fact. That this was a normal occurrence for them. Then I realized, it was.

"But I can make a few exceptions." The boy continued. Suddenly Natasha, Clint, Bucky, and Steve were dried off.

"Why does capsicle get to be dry but I don't?" Tony complain like a two year old.

"Because,"Percy immediately replied his voice thick with sass, "I like Cap and you remind me of Zeus." The other demigods immediately started laughing. This just seemed to feed Percy's ego, I was trying to think that wasn't the best thing.

"Well I was thinking, "Natasha said," you all seem pretty strong, because of that I was wondering if you'd like to join the team?" All the demigods made eye contact, and had one of those seemingly secret conversations, instead of it only taking two or three seconds, like before, no one spoke for several minutes.

"That depends if-"Percy broke the silence only to be cut off by Steve.

"No! You kids have been through enough already I am not allowing you to be put in any more danger!" Oh no, he did it again.

The change in Percy he was instantaneous, his eyes turned dark, and though he seemed like a kind and loving boy most the time he seemed down right murderous when anyone called my kid.

"I have told you once," he began, "and I will tell you a million more times. I. Am. Not. A. Kid. And I will never be again. I haven't even told you of my most harrowing trial. The one I got most of the scars from. Nor has Nico, and you are lucky we haven't. Cuz unlike you, we didn't want to get drafted for a war. Believe me, if it was my choice, I would be at home right now, eating sweets with my mother, happily unaware of any of this. We have been hurt. And we will be hurt again. It's our way of life. If we're lucky, we may live long enough to have a life. So guess what there is one way for you to protect us," I noticed Percy's voice was getting softer, his eyes were returning to their normal sea green color, hopefully he'd stop yelling soon. "Let us join you, we can help. And you can help us." His voice was hardly whisper as he said these last two sentences.

Annabeth was at his side in the flash,calmly wiping the tears away from his eyes and whispering to him soothingly. They were looked so young, I realized, but truthfully they were the strongest and most mature people you will ever meet. I was 18 and I met ultron, these kids faced worse things when they were 12. Yes maybe I lost my parents when I was 10, but Jason has told us he had been abandoned at age of two, Annabeth had run away at age of seven, Nico's mother died when he was young and his sister was gone as well. We had kidnapped them and yet they wanted to help us. They were right as well, the only way we would protect them is if we have their back in a fight.

"If they want, I think they should be able to join the team. We all know there will always be more threats, it's the way of the world, but maybe these demigods can help us. And that is the only way we can help them too."I said all of this quietly, Steve, and any others who did not think these demigod to join our team, needed to realize that this was the best way of doing things, and I think they finally did.

"Percy forgive me, I will forget that you are older than you appear. I had never once thought that people such as yourself had existed. Do exist. You are all so normal seeming. I suppose I always thought that if anyone would have gone through what you have they would hardly be able to act normal ever. But with you it is so easy to see you as teenagers. I hope you will join our team, you are strong fighters, and, from what I've heard from your stories, always stand up for what is righteous. But I cannot help but feel guilty for putting you in danger."I heard the tears threatened to spill in Steve's voice as he spoke this speech. For as long as I've known Cap, I was still shocked at how genuine he can be. The voice you responded however sounded as they were trying to suppress a laugh.

"Don't feel bad cuz we usually about to die."

Nico.
