The Beginning of the End (The Seven Meet the Avengers)

Chapter Three ~ Meeting Part 2

Hello, fellow Wattpadians! This is when the story gets interesting....

How many of you have friends who have never read Percy Jackson? I just asked all of mine, and not one of them could tell me who even wrote the books. Speaking of which, I don't own Percy Jackson or the Avengers!

Enjoy!

Tony Stark ~ Iron Man

So the Captain and I hide in the bushes. We watch Natasha and Clint walk up to the kid, who's still sleeping. "This might be the easiest pickup ever." I mutter to Steve, who shushes me with a hand.

Clint taps the kid with his foot, and the kid starts, jumping up onto his feet. I raise my eyebrows, watching him look around before noticing Natasha and Clint. "Oh." the kid mumbles, embarrassed. "Hi." He puts his hand casually in his pocket, but the Captain and I watch him warily, ready to jump out. He could have anything in his pocket. A gun, a knife, or maybe something worse. Natasha and Clint glance at each other. They noticed it too.

"Perseus Jackson?" Natasha asks smoothly. The kid tenses at his name.

"Just Percy." Percy says, sizing them up. Hawkeye's hand twitches toward his bow. Natasha shoots him a look.

"Well, Percy," she says, "I'm going to ask you to come with us."

Percy's eyes narrow. "I'm going to have to go with no." he says, pulling a pen out of his pocket. Natasha looks at Clint, also happening to look directly at the Captain.

"Well," she says, "We did ask nicely."

The Captain sighs, and nods to her. Natasha smiles, and swings her foot up and around, sweeping Percy off his feet. Except .... she didn't knock Percy off his feet, because he wasn't there. Percy had jumped impossibly fast out of the way, grabbed Natasha's leg, and shoved her down the hill. Natasha manages to roll, and end up standing a couple feet away. Clint stands for a moment, shocked, but he quickly recovers. He tries to grab Percy's arm and pin him to the tree, but Percy is too fast. Instead of Percy being shoved against a tree, he's flipping Clint over his shoulder. Natasha jumps from behind him and tries to knock him out using a series of fast, low punches, but Percy dodges and blocks every single one.

"Who is this kid?" I muttered to Steve. The Captain shrugs, and watches as the teenager goes head to head with Natasha and Clint. The kid seems to concentrate, but he looks almost bored with the two master assassins.

"Do you think they need help?" Steve asks. "I mean, it looks like he's almost ... beating them."

"Nah." I say, shaking my head. "He's just a kid. He'll wear out eventually." But I don't know if I actually believe that. The kid, Percy, or whatever, doesn't seem to be tiring down. In fact, the longer the fight goes on, the more Percy seems to wake up.

"I'm going out there." the Captain says, running out of the bushes. That's when I notice the kid in the tree. He's watching the fight with an amused expression, but it wavers slightly when he sees the Captain. His grin returns as he watches Percy block Steve's punch and send him sprawling to the ground. I decide I've seen enough.

I run out, my Iron Man suit flashing impressively in the sunlight. I fire a blast from my hand into the air, and everyone freezes. "Okay." I start. "First, no one hit each other. Second, you-" I point up at the kid in the tree. Everyone looks up except Percy, who just sighs. "Get down here so I don't have to blast you down."

The kid doesn't move. Percy sighs again. "It's okay, Leo." Instantly, the kid, Leo, drops to the ground, and I stand shocked. He was at least thirty feet up!
