Stars shine bright in the night (Percy Jackson X Avengers Fanfiction)

annoying the patriotic guy

A mall day.

That's all Alex wanted to do. Percy's mom run out of blue food coloring and Amar wanted to try ramen. Alex, Blaze, Em and Mai? They just needed some loose clothes until they earn enough money for a top surgery but OF COURSE the attempt to teleport them and their siblings to the mall went horribly wrong.

Alex was so DONE. He was locked in the interrogation room for a whole FUCKING hour. Didn't mix well with his ADHD. He was bored out of his mind. Also his autistic mind couldn't STAND all that dust in the room.

If he wasn't going to be let out soon he's going to throughout clean the entire fucking cell.

Yes he was so bored he wanted to clean. Also cleaning being his coping mechanism didn't help.

He knew Percy probably had it worse. He started counting and multiplying bricks, doing math in his mind to pass the time. (A/n: please tell me I'm not the only one that does that)

Luckily Alex had the body. He and Blaze have the most experience with being interrogated. Good. Emerald would loose their patience or started a lawyer like speech about being held against their will. Mai would probably start crying. He and Blaze were the most rational option (but Mai was just a scared 6 year old so you have to cut him some slack)

FINALLY someone walked in. It wasn't the redhead. It was someone Alex didn't recognize. Some egoistic looking guy with a goatee whose whole posture radiated: "I'm a rich, have daddy issues and superiority complex". Good. It was what they were familiar with and could handle.

"Hey kiddo I know I know it's hard to believe I'm talking to you you can have autograph later" the goatee guy said. Alex finally recognized him. He was the guy he read in the newspaper they stole the first time they got out of the Black Widow program and went on their first mission. Tony... Tony... Tony Stank something like that. The guy running around in a metal suit thinking he's invincible. Typical rich cis white guy with god complex. Alex never liked him. He knew way to many people identical to him.

His friend Leo Valdez on the other hand didn't like him either but admired his machines and always tried his best to be better than him. If they'd meet each other... Alex suppressed a urge to shiver. That would be horrible. They'd either team up and be insufferable or they would fight like children and would probably burn more than one thing down in the process.

Alex couldn't resist bringing his ego down a little bit.

"I'm sorry who are you?" He asked innocently. The guy looked absolutely baffled. "Kid how, how do you not know who I am?" He looked shocked. Alex suppressed another urge but this time to laugh. He loved bringing cis white man's egos down. "I never had much contact with the outside world. My parents don't let me have a phone" he explained. That wasn't technically a lie. Demigods weren't supposed to have a phone and despite being a god, being left to grow up in the Red room was no different. Unless he went outside for a mission (or if the contract was approved by Dreykov which almost never happened) contact with the outside world was not allowed. Stank left and came in with another VERY patriotic blonde guy, the guy introduced himself as Steve Rogers and asked a couple of questions which Alex answered like he was taught which was to avoid telling them as much as he could.

"Where do you live?"
"With my friends"
"And where do your friends live"
"With u-me"
Where do you all live "
"Next to our neighbor"
"And where does he live?"
"You won't believe it "
"What?"
"Next to me"
"Which class are you in?"
"How do you know I go in school? I could be homeschooled"
"Well were you?"
"A part of my life the other not"
"Are those your siblings?"
"You already have that information"
"Male?"
"Did you just assumed my gender?"
"Am I wrong!"
"No I am a trans man"
"What's that?"
"I was born a girl but that identity didn't fit me "
"How old are you?"
"As much as I look"
"So 16"
"Maybe"
"How did you get in the facility"
"I opened a vortex"

Alex was never very good at telling people's emotions but even he could tell that he annoyed Steve. Tony looked pleased as Alex annoying Steve was the best thing.

He was pretty pleased. But then Steve looked at him so disappointed that Alex had to suppress laughter again. He knew Percy will probably do the same (annoying people that is not suppressing laughter).

The patriotic guy looked at him in a more fatherly way then his own fathers adopted (kind of) or not. But on the other hand that wasn't that hard. He thought about his siblings from the Red room. Meg, Lila and the other few that survived the program (he's only known them personally for shorter period of time and he has a hard time remembering people's names if he knows them for a short time). Alex prayed to everyone he knew for them to be ok. Then another guy came in. Looked like a scientist. Purple shirt, glasses, curly black hair, and jeans. Looks like test are up.
