Percy works with Tony Stark

20. Time to meet Rachel

We stood at the front door. It was a sight to see. Some of the Avengers, lined up and patiently waiting. Only Steve and Tony came with me to visit Rachel after a quick discussion with the team. A sudden reunion with a ton of strangers, albeit celebrities would be pretty uncomfortable after all.

"Dare Enterprises?" Tony asked.

"Oh right, you've heard of them before?"

Tony scratched his head, "I'm not sure. But I've probably done some business with them?"

"Well let's go in," I sighed. To be totally honest, I had no idea what to expect. Rachel and I were always on pretty good terms, but that was 2 years ago. I had to hope that what happened in camp didn't affect her too much. This would all be meaningless if she still stayed at camp though. But something told me that she didn't. Looking at how the rest of us turned out, it didn't seem too likely after all.

"Let's hope she'll even talk to me," I muttered before entering the building.

It was still work time and the lobby was bustling with people. But Tony and Steve were Iron Man and Captain America after all, and even in their street clothes they attracted a lot of attention.

So it was understandable when the workers ran up to Tony and Steve and hurriedly asked what they needed.

"We would like to see Ms. Dare please," I spoke up.

They looked skeptical, but after a nod from Tony, they ran off.

Call me shameless, but even if Rachel hated me now, her father would still make her at least hear us out.

The nervous attendant was replaced with a lady in high heels.

"Follow me please," she said as she walked toward the elevators. The elevators only stopped until we got to the top floor, and we followed the with the sound of her heels clicking down the hallway. Steve was looking around at the modern building, but Tony was obviously unimpressed.

"Hey, what are we doing over here?" He leaned over and asked.

"Wait and see," I answered.

He looked annoyed but still stayed quiet until we reached the conference-looking doors.

"Hello! Good morning!" Rachel's father greeted. "Welcome, come in," he gestured to the chairs inside.

Rachel was inside and looking at the door curiously. She was never involved with her dad's affairs so she was curious why he called her in for what seemed like an important meeting.
-

Because I was mostly only wearing a mask to hide my identity from the team, after everyone found out who I was, I naturally stopped wearing the mask. So that meant that when I entered the room, my face was on full display for Rachel to see.

"Percy?" She questioned.

"That's me," I confirmed.

Her eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. "You're really Percy?"

"Do you want to ask me something then?"

She stuttered with uncertainty, unsure if she should believe her eyes or not. "W-Where did we first meet?"

"Hoover Dam," I grinned.
