Percy Jackson vs Spider-Man crossover

Chapter 9: An identity revealed!?

Peter

"Hey Peter! How are you?"

"Hey Percy. Yeah... yeah I'm fine."

They were in the halls of the school.

"You have small eyes. Didn't you sleep?"

"Yeah, don't worry about it."

In reality, things were not going well. He had learned the day before that the gods, those of the legends of mythology, are not so legendary. They are very real.

He had spent the night going over all this in his head, and he had not been able to sleep. And this Waterman... The good thing is that he had made peace with him and now they are allies.

Rrrrrriiiiiiiiig!

Peter is startled, the ringing pulling him out of his thoughts.

"Hey man, are you sure you're okay?"asks Percy.

Peter gestures with his hand.
"Uh yeah sorry I'm in my thoughts."

"Peter. I need to talk to you."

Percy grabs him by the sleeve and walks into a room, closing the door behind him and Peter.

"Uh Percy... This is a broom closet."

Percy sighs.
"Believe me, you could have ended up in a broom closet with someone worse, like an insufferable reporter with a feather... Anyway, I'm walking away. That's not the point."

Peter raises an eyebrow.
"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing. A reference to a work I watched. But who cares?"
Percy takes a deep breath.
"Everyone knows."

Peter raises his eyebrows.
"What?"

Percy stares him in the eye.
"Everyone knows you're Spider-Man."

Peter backs away but bumps into a broom.
"I... I don't know what you're talking about. What are you talking about?!"

"You don't fool me!"Percy retorts.
He throws himself on Peter's bag and takes out the Spider-Man mask.
He waves it in front of his face.

"You're going to tell me you're not Spider-Man again, aren't you?"

Peter rips his mask from Percy's hands.
He puts it away, panicking.
"How do you know that? When do you know? Who knows? How am I going to do ?!"

Percy shrugs.
"Oh well, everyone knows. You're finished, man."
He pats his shoulder.
"You'll have to get used to it."

Then he bursts out laughing.

"What are you laughing at, Percy? It's anything but funny!"

"You should have seen your face!"
Percy wipes away a tear of laughter.
"Priceless! I should have filmed it!"

Peter looks at him, uncomprehending.
"Wait, what? Are you telling me this is a dirty joke?"

"Yeah, don't worry. Nobody knows but me."

Peter sighs with relief.
"But how do you know?"

Percy smiles.
He raises his hand and water forms a trident in his hand.

Peter hiccups with surprise.
"So you are..."

"Yep, man. In flesh and water."

Peter smiles in his turn.
"You are definitely full of surprises."

The two of them clap their hands, sighing.
But Peter loses it immediately.

"Percy! Get down!"
