Crossbred (An Avengers and Percy Jackson Crossover)

Chapter 7 (Gifts) (edited)

'Ok, so, seeing as you've lived with the Avengers for your entire life, you probably already have had a lot of training. But regardless of that, you should probably practice with the gifts you received from your father.' Chiron told me as we walked across the green area in the centre of the houses. I nodded and he continued.

'Percy and Annabeth will help you with that.' he said and the two of them nodded.

With that, he dismissed us and we made our way to the training area. As we walked I caught myself fiddling with the charms on my bracelet. I tried to recall what my dad had said.

'Each charm on the bracelet transforms into different silver weapons. The charm on the necklace transforms into a sword.'

Tears pricked my eyes as I thought of him. I missed them all so much that it hurt. But I put on a brave face and blinked them away before Percy and Annabeth could notice. We continued walking to the training area.

When we arrived we put armour on, the two of them instructing me on how to fasten different straps to give me the best protection. Percy and Annabeth also grabbed weapons. Annabeth nodded towards my bracelet.

'Alright so, just choose which charm you want and press it.' she instructed.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at her teacher-like tone. I ran my fingers across the various charms before settling on one. I pressed down on the Iron Man suit-shaped charm and smiled as I felt the familiar suit encase me.

'Hello Ms. Stark.' JARVIS, Dad's AI, greeted me.

'Hey JARVIS. Tell my Dad I said hi, will you?' I replied, smiling at the familiar metallic sound of his voice.

'Certainly, miss Stark.' JARVIS replied. I smiled.

'Who are you talking to?' I heard Percy ask, as he tried to peer through my mask. 'What is that?' he asked before tapping the helmet.

I smirked. 'Well Mr. Jackson, my dad is Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, and I am... well... I was Iron Girl.' I saw him snicker and straightened up.

'Shut it, fishboy.' I glared at him though I knew he couldn't see my face, before sighing. 'Anyway, I was talking to JARVIS, an AI system that my dad built.'

'That is so cool!' Annabeth marvelled, as Percy nodded in response.

'Yeah... I have about five of these back home.' I said feeling home sick again. 'You guys wanna see what this baby can do?' I asked, trying to distract myself from the feelings of loneliness that suddenly overcame me.

They nodded and I started the thrusters and I took off. I flew above them as if I was back home, as if I was free as a bird but I soon remembered that I needed to train. I saw a target and took a dive. My hands were outstretched and I felt my repulsors warming up. Once they were ready, I fired and watched as the target flipped backwards. Then I landed.

'It can do more, but that's the basics.'

'That's so cool! Remind me never to get on your bad side.' Percy said. I smirked and pushed the button on my wrist which transformed my armor back into it's charm. I smiled and pressed the Hulk shaped one. At first nothing happened but suddenly I doubled over in pain. My vision became blurry and my hearing became muffled. Shortly the pain subsided and I stood up. I felt stronger, revived. It was awesome!

'Percy can you hold up your shield? This might hurt.' I warned after asking him. He did as I asked, watching me warily with a glint of fear in his eyes. I clenched my fist and thrusted it towards the shield, feeling the metal collide with my knuckles a second later. I was surprised, having thought I would have been in pain but it didn't even hurt. Removing my fist, I noticed the shield now had a fist-shaped dent in it.

'Cool! Super strength! Thank you Uncle Bruce!' I said to myself, smirking. Or should I say, thank you Hulk!

I pressed the charm again and I felt my previous strength dissipate. It left me feeling weak and tired, and I took a deep breath to steady myself.

'Well, that's two down.' I said.

I looked at the next charm to see it was shaped like a gun. I pressed it, expecting a gun to appear in my hands. I looked down to see that it had wrapped a chunky metal belt around my waist. There were about a dozen silver throwing knives attached to it. Grabbing one I inspected it. I noticed the perfectly sharp blade and the way the sun reflected off of it. I threw it into a nearby target and it hit just to the left of the target. I am going to need to practice with these a bit more. I noted and moved on.

I also made sure to remember to introduce Annabeth and Percy to my family once this mess was over.I pressed the next charm on the bracelet which transformed into a shield. I remembered that the necklace charm shifted into a sword to I pushed it and soon had a sword and shield in hand. I decided that I needed to practice with it more because I hadn't trained much at home with a sword. Percy, Annabeth and I sparred back and forth for a good hour and a half before moving on.

Next was a miniature Mjolnir charm and within seconds of being activated grew into a life-size replica of Mjolnir, though I could actually lift it, and couldn't control lighting with it. I knew I wouldn't use it much because I wasn't one for hammers and put it away.

I smirked as I saw the last charm. It was a bow that had an arrow loaded into it. I pressed it and soon felt the familiar bow and quiver in my hands. I loaded and arrow, pulled back the string and fired sending the silver arrow into a dummy. Within seconds the arrow was back in my quiver and I pressed the button which transformed back into a charm.

'So, what's next?' I asked them as our training session concluded.
