The Black Serpent (Pjo/Avengers Crossover)

Chapter 11

Leo's POV:
The frigid wind whips past me and I feel Calypso shiver behind me. Her grip tightens around my waist and I raise my body temperature slightly. Festus is moving as quickly as possible but it has been a difficult journey. It had taken a full week to find something to run our machine & monster shop. Not to mention, crossing the Atlantic on dragon-back with dozens of monsters on your trail is no picnic. But no matter. Percy needs help and we would do anything for him. For any of the seven. Oh gods it will be great to see them all. These few days since the dream message thingy have been long. No matter how many theories we came up with neither of us could figure out what could possibly have happened to Percy. For the short time I knew that seaweed brain he was always powerful and un-breakable. Annabeth would never let him get that bad. And what did the Fates mean when they said we needed to save him from himself? The only thing that may explain what is happening it too unthinkable to even put to words.
"Leo?"
"Yea?"
"We are nearing New York... What's the plan?"
"Well I... I have a plan... It's a very good plan... You see... We... Um... You see..."
"So no plan?"
"Yup."
"Fantastic, you think better on the spot. Where should we go first? Camp? That's the most likely place for Percy to be is it not?" (A/N Calypso had long since forgiven Percy for breaking her heart. She is too happy to dwell in the past. <3)
"Yea, and besides, it's about time we reunited with everyone."
"Well I've never met the majority of them but I just know I'll love them all."
"You should get some sleep Sunshine, I've got this. I'll wake you up when we're five minutes from camp."
"Mmmh I love you hot stuff"
"Well of course! I am the Supersized McShizzle"
Calypso curled up in my lap and drifted into a peaceful sleep. Gods I love her. She is just so pure and loving. Anyone who meets her smiles and she brings so much joy and love into this world. I finally get Percy and Annabeth. Before I never understood how anyone could sacrifice themself like Percy did when they fell into Tartarus. But now I get it. I would do that a thousand times over ford Calypso. She is mine and I am hers. We are each others other half, as cliche as that may sound.
----------------time skip 1 hour-----------------
I do a quick loop above camp, hidden in the clouds. Calypso sits behind me and I could feel excitement and nervousness radiating off of her.
"Well here goes nothing"
I press the button on Festus' neck panel labeled 'awesome intro music'. Immediately "Fire Of Unknown Origin" by   öyster cult starts blasting from crazy powerful speakers I attached to the inside of Festus' throat.
🎶"DEATH COMES SWEEPING THROUGH THE HALLWAY, LIKE A LADY'S DRESS
DEATH  COMES DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IN ITS SUNDAY BEST
FIRE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN, TOOK MY MAMA AWAY
FIRE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN, TOOK MY MAMA AWAY" 🎶
(A/N The actual lyric is "Took my baby away but Leo figured out how to change it to fit his life story)

I let out my best war whoop and Festus swooped down into camp flames blazing out of his maw.
"LEO FRICKIN' VALDEZ IS IN THE HOUSE!!!! ALL HAIL THE SUPERSIZED MCSHIZZLE AND HIS BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, AMAZING, GORGEOUS, BRIDE CALYPSOOOOOO!"
we land smoothly and I look out into the crowd of shocked campers, smile bright on my face.
...
Silence
...
"What no 'welcome back?' Or maybe 'omg we thought you were dead; so glad you're alive!'" I jokingly shout.
Still silence.
I look around the ragtag group of teens, searching each and every face. My heart sinks lower and lower with each passing second.
"Wh-where are the seven? Why do you look so sad? C'mon guys I'm back! This is cause for celebration!"
"Their dead. " Clarisse shouted in fury. "The seven. Their all dead. Except Percy. But he... Well he isn't here anymore. Leo why the fuck didn't you come here sooner? It has been three years since you exploded! We mourned you! If- if you had been here... Maybe he would've stayed! Maybe-"  She stopped herself and I could see her tears forming. I jumped down from my metal steed and wrapped her in a tight hug.
"I'm so so so sorry. I didn't know. I didn't know." Tears streamed down my face and I felt weak. How is this possible? My worst nightmare was playing out and I just wanted to wake up. I felt Calypso's hand on my shoulder and I fell into her arms collapsing on the grass. Sobs racked my body and I could do nothing to stop them. I should have come back. I had been so selfish. Finally composing myself I grab my love's hand and stand.
"There's more. A prophecy was recited a few days ago:
The hero will fall
This could end it all
Fire will ignite,
Join together to use its light
Or evil shall rule,
It will end in the final duel.
Save Perseus in life or death;
And hope will once again rule till the final breath

We don't really know what it means. Rachel told us that the camps were to stay out of this battle. She said only the chosen could fight."
"What? Who are the chosen?"
"I don't know. Best guess? Percy. You maybe. Whoever Percy is working with now..."
"What do you mean? Where is he?"
"He was granted another wish after the war. After ensuring the camps would combine he wished to be cut off from the gods. The blessed him then he left. He only keeps in contact with Nico, Thalia and Grover so we all know he's alive but not much else. Occasionally new Demigods arrive that he rescued but that's about it."
I look around the ragtag group of demigods.
"I'm so so so sorry for not coming sooner. After you saw me explode Festus flew far far away with my dead body on his back. He injected me with something called " the physician's cure" and I came back to life. By that point I was already almost to Calypso's island, which by the way, is impossible to find twice except for me apparently. Anyway I found it and rescued Sunshine here from that place. We wanted to travel the world and I had no idea t-they were dead so I was like 'what the heck?! Let's do this!' and well... That's it really. We got married this past July on my 18th birthday. I was selfish never even bothering to tell you all I survived. I was so stupid."
"It okay Leo. We just... You being alive just surprised us."
"Where's Chiron?"
"He's on Olympus trying to fuigure out what to do about this prophecy. Probably won't be back for at least a week."
We all decide it would be best for me to Iris message him. When he saw me he was so surprised and happy. God I love that old hose like a father. He really was helpful in telling me what to do. His advice was really smart.
(A/N sorry I just don't know how to write Chiron well)
With Calypso by my side we walked up to Rachel's cave to ask where we should go to find Percy. Finally we reached it and I banged her gong (her idea of a doorbell). A flash of red and suddenly I was flat on the ground wrapped in a tight hug.
"Oh Leo I knew you would come! Oh I guess that isn't really that impressive. Oracle ya know? Oh congratulations on the wedding!! You two are soooo perfect for each other. You need to go to Percy! He's in the Avengers Tower, New York City. Nico is there too. Yes you are part of the prophecy. Now go, shoo. Times a' wasting." Rachel chattered. She got off, pulled me to my feet and brushed the dirt off of me. I opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off with a glare.
"No time fire boy, get going and bring Sunshine here with you. Go to the tower on Festus, land on the roof in full dragon form. It will set off a bunch of alarms but it will be helpful in the future. No go. Scat. Get outta here."
Not able to think of a witty retort I simply nodded and grabbed Calypso's hand. We ran back to Festus and took off, New York City, here we come

Sorry this chapter was kinda boring and short, I needed to bring Leo back into the equation. I'll do my best to put out another chapter next weekend but no promises.
