(Book 1) The Wolf Avenger (A Percy Jackson and Avengers Crossover)

Chapter 6- Recruitment

Sneaking into the place really wasn't hard. Trying to find Steve, that was hard. There were so many scents in the place that it kept getting mixed with Steve and leading me on a while hunt.

Not to mention the security. Did you know that apparently when they see a wolf that they need to kick that animal out? So rude.

Not to mention the legs and the leg-weaving I had to do and trying not to panic anyone that a wolf was slipping by their feet.

I felt relief when I found Steve's friend, Bucky, dancing with this one girl and another was nearby talking to him as I went near his feet.

I nudged his leg and he jumped very high in the air and seemed to curse when he looked down. The two girls who were giggling on the side line hadn't noticed me as Bucky picked me up and sighed.

"You're trying to find Steve aren't you?" he asked as we started to walk in this random direction as I sat expectantly in his arms.

We walked toward the recruiting area as I suddenly smelled Steve's scent I squirmed so much that I was able to jump out of Bucky's arms and race toward the scent.

I was able to slip past doors and people as I found Steve talking to this other fellow about some project.

Jumping on the examine table I barked and nuzzled Steve's chest. "How did you even find me. Better yet, how'd you even get here?" Steve's voice asked exasperated as I curled in his lap.

"Sorry Doctor Erskine. This is Percy." Steve said as my head leaned toward the hand that was petting my head gently.

"You own a wolf?" This Doctor Erskine asked but his voice sounded more curious if anything, probably what a wild animal was doing curled up in Steve's lap was doing there but hey, who knows.

"I don't exactly own him, I found him and well. He's sorta become attached to me I guess." Steve said as I felt him shrug a little.

"I can still go right?" Steve asked his voice a little worried.

"I don't see why not. No pets on base though." he said and my ears flatten as I finally opened my eyes and stared at the man and tried to do my best beg voice and eyes letting out a pitiful whine.

I could see the Doc's resolve crumble as he sighed, "I will give him to someone I trust while you are away, it won't be like he'll be alone." The Doc said and I tilted my head thinking of the pros and cons.

Shrugging mentally I nuzzled Steve before almost falling asleep. Keyword almost, Steve stood up still carrying my but the new position made it impossible for me to fall asleep.

Next few days Steve got ready to go into the military and I was proud along with worried. Worried that he wouldn't come back so when Steve handed me to the Doc I nuzzled Steve once more marking my scent on him just a bit before mentally remembering Steve's scent no matter what.

"He will be in good hands." The Doc said as I was picked up by him awkwardly. I didn't put up to much of a fight knowing that he expected me to be a normal wolf who hates being picked. Truth is, it's quite fun being carried everywhere.

Yawning I curled in his arms and watched as he carefully placed me in the passenger seat before getting in the driver side and started to drive.

My ears perked as I stood up and went toward the window and looked at the crank in the door before pawing it the best I could to roll down the window.

"Now stop that Percy." The Doc said reaching over and turn that back up. I sighed and looked to the window before placing my paws on the side and just opted to look out the window.

My tail wagged a little bit more as I watched the people go by and thought about the wind in my fur. It wasn't exactly running at my top speed (which was fast at times) but it was still fun to feel that wind blowing my fur.

Soon enough we were stopped outside this library and I watched the good Doc get out of the car before coming over to my side and opening the door.

Before he could pick me up I jumped down and stretched my paws before looking at the Doc. He sighed, rolled his eyes but I could tell he loved me. Who wouldn't?

He started to walk and I trotted next to him keeping up with the pace easily. He said something to the book owner before we went down another hallway where this place where two books shelves met to reveal a new room that people probably shouldn't know about.

New smells hit me along with chemicals that made my nose sneeze from the sudden assault.

 I made sure to follow the Doc as we slowly made our way down, "What are you doing with a wolf?" A man asked who had a wielding mask over his face.

"This is Steve Roger's dog, or wolf in this case." The Doc said as I sniffed carefully around the place mindful of those that smelled like chemicals.

"What's he doing here?" The guy asked.

"Well Howard, I was hoping that you wouldn't mind watching him. I need to go talk to Agent Carter on Steve Rogers progress." The Doc said before moving away before this Howard could respond.

I looked at Howard as he sighed, "Howard Stark." He said kneeling beside me to look at my necklace, "Percy hmmm? Well Percy, don't wander off, don't spill any chemicals, try not to die." Howard said standing back up and flicking down his mask.

I stared at him before jumping near a seat and laid down and stared at Howard. He seem to look at me before turning back around with a wielding tool and started to wield this machine that looked like it could fit a man.

I sighed missing Steve as I looked around. Clearly if I was going to do something I might as well help the obvious inventor who everyone seems to talk so much about.

Grabbing a wrench I made my way to Howard and sat down mindful of the sparks. When it seemed like Howard was done and the sparks stopped I pawed Howard's pants leg and when he looked smiled when he saw the wrench in my mouth.

Carefully he took the wrench, "Can you grab the screwdriver as well?" he asked more amused if anything.

Turning around back to the area of tools I jumped on the seat and found the screwdriver before walking back toward Howard with the screwdriver awkwardly in my mouth.

Howard chuckled, grabbed the Screwdriver, and pet my head, "This is a beautiful beginning of an awesome friendship." he said as he pat me once more before going back to the machine.

Sitting down I waited if he needed anything. At least it was something to do until Steve came back.
