The Bartender - A PJO & Avengers Crossover

Chapter 3

Landing in the ocean with head first shouldn't hurt, especially not when you're a son of Poseidon. But when you hit your head in that round tunnel that goes out from the sewer to the ocean, that hurts like Hades! Sorry uncle.

I groaned when I landed in the ocean. My head stopped hurting, and I took a look around to see where I was. Sadly I recognized the place, and it was near where I had roundhouse kicked that red haired girl and grabbed star spangled's shield. I crawled up the ladder that was in the dock. When I got up I quickly dried myself, because for some reason I hadn't stayed dry. Since I left New York my powers hadn't really been working that well, but I guess it made sense, because of what I did..

I walked into an alley and sneaked around like some creepy dude who's going to kill someone, but I wasn't going to kill someone, I was just trying to sneak around the people who chased me. I could hear them talking and discussing where I went. I jumped over a fence, and opened a door into an apartment. I knocked on the door, and two seconds later it opened, revealing a tall muscular blackhaired man, who looked like he was in his late twenties, when he was actually eighteen.

"Let me guess, you need a driver?" He asked, and didn't look surprised when I nodded. He sighed, "Give me two seconds, I just gotta go get my keys." He said and disappeared from the door. Two minutes later he locked his door, and he walked me over to a black BMW. We got into the car, and he put on some black sunglasses, and in his black shirt and black pants he looked like a chauffeur from an agent movie. "Where to, Boss?" He asked.

I stared out of the front windscreen, "New York." I knew I would regret showing up in New York, but I had to get rid of these people. He nodded, and started the engine. Soon we were driving on the freeway, heading towards the place I left. Back to all the memories.

"Sir, there is someone following us." Nathan said looking in the left side view mirror. I looked back and saw a black car driving after us, and Tinman flying just a few meters behind. Great, this has turned into a car chase now. I sighed.

"Try to get rid of them." I said, preparing myself for a fight. The driver nodded, and changed up a gear. The car rushed forward, avoiding every car in front of us. I opened the glove box and found a small gun. I loaded it, and rolled down the window, and aimed at the car's front wheels. Then I shot, sadly I missed, but I tried once more, and the car screeched and stopped, blocking another car behind it.

Nathan grunted at something, and changed gear again, driving off the freeway, and onto a small road with almost no cars. Tinman and another car were still following us, and he started shooting at us, but Nathan was quick and dodged every blast. I took aim again at the car following us, but a bump on the road made me lose the gun. I cursed and sat back down on the passenger seat.

"Try to get me as close to New York as you can!" I said, and started to look in the glove box, and small rooms that were in the car, for guns or explosives.

"Under the seat." I looked under the seat, and just as he had said there was a small rifle, I smiled and aimed through the window. "And sir, I insist on driving you all the way to New York." Nathan said. I mumbled an 'Okay' and shot at the car. It screeched, but kept following us. The Tinman shot a blast at me, even though it only brushed me it hurt like the river Styx! Okay maybe not like the river Styx, but close enough.

We were halfway to New York when five cars suddenly headed towards us. I heard Nathan curse, and then the car wheels screeched and we were driving on a field. It happened quickly so the cars had to turn around to chase us, Nathan just kept driving and cursing. We jumped up and down as the car rushed over the field with potatoes. I hit my head on the roof and grunted.

"Sir, I will have to ask you to hold on to something." Nathan said through clenched teeth. I held onto the handle on the roof, and we drove towards a canyon. Oh Styx, this was gonna hurt! Suddenly we were in the air, and next thing we knew we landed hard on a road. I groaned and opened my eyes to see Nathan trying to get the car to start. Successfully he starts driving again. He must have some magic in him since the car still worked. But I had already put it to a test and well, Nathan was only a Child of Apollo, he couldn't control vehicle's or magic.

"Sir, it will take at least three hours to drive all the way to New York, and with those guys after us maybe more." Nathan proclaimed.

"Okay, just do your best to get us there as quickly as possible!" I said and looked to see if the Tinman was still following us. I couldn't see him anywhere but I had a feeling he was nearby. The sun was setting and I yawned.

"I suggest you try and get some sleep sir, this is gonna be a long night." Nathann said and concentrated on the road.

"Yeah.. wake me up if anything happens." He nodded, and I put my seat down, and used my jacket as a blanket. My eyes slowly closed, and I drifted off to sleep.
